Get a sealable container as close to the size tire you are wanting to demount. Insert tire in container and fill container with Acetone until entire tire is covered. Let sit 24 hours and the tire will fall off the rim allowing you to reuse the rim and tire… sometimes even the insert is reusable after it dries out, but the foam insert will not be as firm as it was. Note: if the tire wants to float in the container of Acetone, weight it down so the tire stays covered. Works ever time! Love all the custom stuff you are doing with this bike!
Maybe I’m doing something wrong, but I’ve tried this a couple of times in the past with tamiya wheels/tires and completely melted the wheels before the glue bond would give-up. I’ve done both full immersion and suspended above a bath so you just acetone vapors. With the bath the wheel completely dissolved. I know that it depends on the materials of the wheels (Tamiya uses ABS) but because of my bad experience and lack of spares I would be hesitant to try again. Thank you for watching!
Yeah thoses rims will melt before the tires come unglued. The plastic they use is not the same as our “race” wheels for 1/10 and 1/8 buggys and is not solvent resistant.
I still have my old Ricky Carmichael dirt bike, I've been thinking about converting it to brushless, maybe the electronics out of the Losi would be a good idea 🤔
Thinking I'm gonna do the same. Wonder what tire size of losi is versus the Carmichael bike tires. Might be able to do some cross breeding. Sounds fun!
Nice work 👍the proper way to take tire off without destroying tire is put it in a small sealed container with acetone but dont let acetone contact tire leave in for a few days the fumes will loosen glue and not hurt tire if the tire sits in the liquid it will ruin it let the fumes do the work 👍
Thank You and Thanks for watching. I have tried multiple methods including the one you just described and have only ever destroyed wheels. In this case I was trying to remove tires from Tamiya wheels (ABS) I know Acetone is a solvent for ABS so I didn't have high hopes going in. However, given my bad experiences, I am hesitant to try this out on a wheel that I don't have a spare for at the moment. When I get a spare wheel, I will give it a try.
Like the mods to the Losi dirtbike! I picked up a couple motorcycles in a RC collection i bought and one was the radio shack one you have and the others are the X-Rider brand been looking for batteries for them the radio shack is decent if the gyro was faster rpm i think it would be great! The others i haven't got batteries for yet? Can't wait to see you run that Ricky Carmichael one!😉👍💯✔️👋👋👋
I am not sure if I could put the longer arm on, I love the wheelies way too much! It would be cool if you could mount the camera in the torso and it still resemble the driver but protect the camera some more. Sadly those rolling tumbles it does sometimes really face plants the gopro into the ground rather hard! It looks like it still ran very well. Those pesky tree always jumping out in front is a pain though! Cool stuff and I am sure you are having a blast over there tinkering away! Have fun with it!!
Yeah I guess I need a second bike for wheelies. LOL. Actually the bike is so easy to work on I bet I could swap it between the two setups in 5 minutes. LOL, it is funny how those immobile object seem to pop out of nowhere and get you. I think it's indicative of my driving with the throttle pegged on the straightaway and completely overshooting the hairpin turn at the end. Yeah the camera is moving. I need to design a new mount the uses the torso pin to keep it in place. I have tried Velcro straps but the camera usually tumbles away when the bike decides to do some random front rolls.
I put a soft rubber over my 3D-printed bearing-supported rollers for onroad use. It is super quiet on the street without that scraping sound. Once I get the super Moto wheels it will be ready to race onroad 1/5 scale car track with jumps. They are already racing other bikes. I used rubber dip for making player handle grips on the rollers if you want to try them. You just dip them let them dry then dip them 4 or more times to get a soft rubber. Dip without the bearing. I made the mistake of leaving the bearing on accident the first time, lol. The Brand I used which was softest was Rubberize by Dura-Rubber. Plasti-dip, rubber guard, and Blaze were too hard. Rust-Oleum Rubber Grip dip is a cheaper alternative to Rubberize-it which I found after spending lots of money on Rubberize-it. Bummer, lol. SUBSCRIBED & LIKED!
Hi... Turned out really great. Thanks for the inspiration. My 7 year old son fell in love with your version. It is possible to purchase the parts or to receive the print files. Best regards from Germany Jens
A camera head on an RC that quite often utilizes its head to prevent toppling over, and hill-climbing swings arms to increase stability on the concrete? Awe man, i should not be watching videos after i arrive home from the bar 🤣 🤣🤣🤣.
To each is his own. It still drives fine where I run the bike and it definitely keeps the front end of the bike down. So I argue it does exactly what I intended making it useful for me.
I seen them playing around with 2 of them on oval rc. These things are sick man. If they had smooth tires on them like ama flat trackers they would be absolutely 💯 amazing. After a few laps the guys were starting to get comfortable with it and they were making pretty good laps. I hope the start a class for these things cause I would definitely have to have one. They're freaking awesome.
@@jack-o-trades Bob Smith Industries is what Ive used heat it up to you see a very light smoke .. wear gloves...do it outside I debonded the tires on my Senton and Canyon Trails for my crawler works good if your patient did the canyon trails in about 20 min
For fun and it helps keep the front of the bike down. Also there are styles of bikes like drag/speed and hill climbing. If I was building a speed run bike, I would try to make it as long as reasonably possible. But this is all for fun here, not trying to sell anything or convince anyone this is the way to go.
Thanks for joining the channel. I have lot's of ideas for this bike. So many that I wish I had a second bike to bounce ideas off of. I'm trying to figure out how to make a kit for the swingarm. It would need a new chain and lower link.
@@jack-o-trades do it, I’m in. Mine is ordered up. Just a waiting game now. The chain was my concern. I didn’t catch how you addressed it in your vid but I’m guessing you married two but yeah, you include proper length chain(pnp) youll move some of those kits for sure.
This is true for a 1:1 bike where the rider can also throw their weight around. It's less true with an RC bike. True the steering geometry will change. However with this bike you have the crash-back system on the fork so It might be possible to help with the head tube angle there. But it doesn't really keep the front end down by lowering the front of the bike. You still have the same moment about the rear wheel causing the front wheel to pop up. The only real way to address that on an RC bike is to lengthen the rear end of the bike or shift the CG of the bike away from the rear axle. You could also achieve this with additional weight in the front of the bike or maybe using a shorty pack shifted towards the front of the bike. Thanks for watching!
On real dirt bikes every 1mm + or - on link length equals about 10mm difference in fully extended length of wheel. We don't really use ride height but rather Static sag and race sag.
I'm stoked to have found your channel, you're doin some really rad stuff already! stoked to see what else you come up with. Do you think it'd be worth printing your own plastics? and even more so a paddle tire set outa tpu or something? soft/sandy terrain is rough with this bike, too heavy, but maybe a paddle tire could help make up for that?
I'm glad you found the channel and thanks for hangin around. I don't have any experience with TPU though I have thought about doing some tires with it. Also thinking about doing a printed mold and molding tires. This has its own challenges. I've already seen someone on Facebook 3D printing a sand tire set for this bike.
@@jack-o-trades I have very limited experience with tpu, I printed some tires for an rc plane and they worked well, a bit stiff but I think that can be managed with layers and infill. But I have zero 3d modeling experience so I look to you! Haha.
Thank You! I use a multitude of CAD software professionally including CREO, AutoCAD, Solid Works, and Solid Edge. These parts were designed in Edge and printed on a Prusa MK3 FDM printer. What kind of tips are you looking for?
@@jack-o-trades Are you using callipers to take the measurements and then designing in AutoCAD? I’m fairly new to 3D printing, but have ventured to use Tinkercad for some simple designs, ie: drone antenna mounts. Any tips appreciated.
Not really. But that's kind of the point, to keep the front wheel down. If I get the wheels warmed up on street I can kind of get the front wheel to pop up but not for a wheelie.
I've had good luck with Tower Hobbies on this. one. I ordered a second one July 20th and had it July 29th. There are obviously no guarantees on that one. There are tons of aftermarket parts out there now. The Losi parts are more scarce but they do pop up. I think the hardest one at the moment is tires and wheels. But they do show up, you just have to check in regularly. I'm still waiting on tires/wheels for the Mini JRX-T
I love my Prusa 3D printer. I have about 8 FDM printers and the Prusa is what I primarily use. It’s more expensive but absolutely worth the money. I have thousands of hours on the printer and it just works! It makes parts and I spend very little time messing with it. I’m not sold on the 3D scanners. I don’t think they are accurate enough and I don’t think they would give me a parametric model that I could use. I would basically have to model with a scanned overlay model. I don’t know because I have never integrated this into my workflow. I typically reverse engineer parts with a set of calipers. It can be tedious but works. I also do test prints to refine the design.
The longer swingarm keeps the front of the bike down. If you don't move the shock point then you have more leverage on the shock which would affect the effective dampening and spring rate of the shock. In order to have the shock work as it is, you have to compensate in the geometry of the arm.
@@jack-o-trades You could keep the stock geo and durable molded link parts, and up your oil weight and spring. design in a lower pivot for the shock rocker link, and you'll be golden. I'd love to see this in the dunes with a paddle...
Awesome mods man! I still have my old Richy Carmichael bike on my shelf! So jealous you have one in the box. Do you happen to know what year those bikes came out? I've tried to do a little research but haven't had much luck
Thanks for watching! I should have a video out in the next day or two of the two bikes running together. It’s in the box but not new. It is/was in pretty good shape. It’s an interesting bike for being 20 years old. They came out in 2003.
@jack-o-trades dang 20 years! Thank you! I still remember opening mine up. Me and the my neighbor got them the same day. Was definitely our most played with RCs
Great video and upgrades! With the suspension linkage, you shouldn't play with the linkage geometry unless you're rrreally sure what you're doing. Just change the "dogbones" length to alter the ride height when using the longer swingarm and changes to suspension itself should be done with spring tension and shock fluids/internals. Anyway, I would love to see your final products or 3D print files available for sale! 👉👌
Thanks for the interest. I did in fact design and print the parts. I don't like selling the 3D printed parts because they don't hold up as well as an injection molded part. I have sold a couple of swing arms but they are not impervious to damages. There are companies that do make an aluminum extended swing arm.
Time for some hill climbs with that swing arm 👍🏼 trust me when I say sell the prints while you can. I’ve been fcked over many times by big Company names taking what I’ve created and changing a smig and selling for a 💩 load. Someone will capitalize on your ideas take it for what it’s worth while you can. I completely quit showing a lot of my concepts because to many people want it for free or fck you over
I'm holding off on placing my order until they fix all the bugs from the first batch and also waiting for the aftermarket parts to improve the product.
Thanks! At this point, I don't share my files. I suppose I'm not too attached to the IP but I haven't bothered to setup a profile on the typical sites to share my work.
Working on a 3d printed helmet with a camera built in so the view isnt looking down as much will keep u posted will need some testing done im only 1 guy with one bike the helmet will prtect the 📷 is my hope
Say, today is first time I saw you and I became a subscriber so let me ask you this I would like to buy one of those torsos could you print one up for me and tell me how much please thank you. I got to have it
If you are interested, shoot me an e-mail at jack.o.trades805@gmail.com The arm works good for speed runs and running around on moderate terrain. I would not recommend it for jumping.
I know my memory is pretty shot, but I don’t think I ever said I was going to go out and climb a hill. There’s lots of different things you could do with it. Ultimately, it helps keep the front end down regardless of what terrain your running on. I’m just here to have fun. Thanks for watching.
I bet you could fit a big wide already available paddle tire on there that’s 2.5-4inches wide and fab up a jackshaft. Great work man!!!
Nice upgrades Brice. I like the camera head most. Then comes the swing arm.

@@jack-o-tradeson thank you . I need to test a long swinging arm but I don’t want aluminium.
How do i get the swing arm file or a printed arm?
NVM my resin printer is to small for a stock swing arm.
Someone just did a 3s BEC UPGRADE 😊😊😊
Yeah, I think there are a couple of those out there. I have heard of someone pulling 80mph on their bike.
@@jack-o-trades They are having slight issues programming the BEC.... I'm watching I plan to upgrade mine soon
I need the file for the these swing arm and everything
They need to have a hill climbing event of Promoto-MX.

I need these parts for mine

The arm works good for speed runs and running around on moderate terrain. I would not recommend it for jumping.
The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys.
If you feel better show up with automotive shugu guarantee it won't break
Hey bro make a helmet for your
Dope for drag racing but sucks for turning.
you put an extended swing arm on and did ZERO hillclimbing
I know my memory is pretty shot, but I don’t think I ever said I was going to go out and climb a hill.
There’s lots of different things you could do with it. Ultimately, it helps keep the front end down regardless of what terrain your running on.
I’m just here to have fun. Thanks for watching.
If you feel the torso up with automotive shoe goo guarantee it won't
I will pay for swingarm or file please!
Right on, waste more money on a waste of money
Thanks for watching!
