Hey Earl, with the aid of the electronics mount kit (LOS261013).... The 100a esc with the removal of its mounting tabs will fit in the Promoto using the provided mount in the kit...
Can wait to see it run 3s job Earl Moorhead 👍 video all way good 👍 video 📷 I, take time to late no you have all way give good advice on RC and being a auto mechanic you have showed us all how to work on real cars in an RC car thank you 👍🙏🏻
Hope you stay safe from the hurricane I know what its like to have them coming. Mine tends to wheelie a bit to far on the rear fender from time to time for some reason it has too much punch or something it is my favorite mode. It will be interesting to see how the electronics that work the modes handle the increased power that was an incredible amount of work on that more than I want to do it was amazing to watch
Earl, I think Spektrum printed 2S on the ESC because of the 6V flywheel motor. It gets power 1on1 from batt. That no one comes to idea to connect 3S. But I'm sure that 85A ESC can handle 3S, like the normal non-promoto version.
For get to mention i could do with a little tutorial on programming the esc and as soon as i see how you get a 3s battery to fit i have everything i need in a basket ready to buy
Looking good! You’ll have to block that on your next run. Seems the wheelie mode controls the speed in order to control the wheelie. I’m sure we’re all waiting on that top speed🏁
Gyro slows down quicker when you leave the power on for the bike. Can you put the helper wheels on the opposite sides? So they lean abit forward . To give you tighter turns
Nice job , I yanked the 3s esc from vendetta too. Jsuk , the 4s esc in kraton and outcast is smaller than 100 amp 3s from vendetta, probably the same size as the 2s guy , ridiculous they can’t over power them a bit to last longer run cooler we talking pennies and only not because of marketing
@@earlmoorhead5555 yes I looked, it’s same size as the 2s , they’re really pinched Pennie’s with escs , I guess if they offered 4s capable , no one would upgrade or over volt there motors , the hobby always for the first time buyer markets. Did you add the bec in the motorcycle or did come with ? I’m going go hobby shop today , if that have one I get it , I like the new bell rey but I’d want the livery one heat wave 👋
I feel like all these RTRs are underpowered escs , first thing I’ve been doing lately also , 3s to 4s. 4s to 6s , I wouldn’t be happy with 2s on anything anymore either , the over powering makes em RIP
I'm wondering how you get power output from 2. ESC, with the servo cable cut off = gets no signal. How goes that? What brand is that 2. ESC for the gyro? Thank you!
@antoninus1 the gyro motor and esc is all built into itself it’s only using the power ground off the receiver wire 🤷🏻♂️ no signal other then the activation for the controller I’ve explained it in the instructions videos on the external BEC I installed to run the gyro on 2S while upgrading the esc for the drive motor 💯
I think your thinking about the reciever wire and the gyro has it own to control on and off as that internal bec is set to 6V on the receiver to control the gyro on off switch the external bec is now the power source for the gyro and ties into the battery power you plug in and convert it to 2s no matter the battery you install now 🤷🏻♂️
What tire in the front is that a stock tire? Do you drive it with the super promoto on the back and the stock on the front? How does it ride like that?
Yo Earl, you should try to get into some nitro. I always see woogie watching your vids in his vids and it’d be so sick to see you get a little nitro bashing kit, losi 8ight-xt maybe?!
Using a spectrum controller is already set up for the receiver and yes I’ve done several calibration videos there all the same no matter the rc car or bike
Also another question Earl does the new Losi Promoto x motorcycle come with a single 1/10th scale motor ?…. Or is it a 1/8th scale motor ?… how big is this motorcycle ….?
@@earlmoorhead5555 Surprised and shocked man !. You’d think that it would have a 1/4th scale motor or I should say a 1/5th scale motor. Is this motorcycle the length of a Traxxas xmaxx or xrt ?..
Great videos cool to see how you can really bring more power out of these rc,s. With the vendetta why won't it run on a 4s battery do they have it programmed not to
The Vendetta will only run on 3S , The ESC and the Motor can not handle 4S power , A 4S battery will most likely burn out ESC or over heat the Motor and cause it to fail , or both ESC and motor could fail , I would not recommend putting in a 4S battery , it can still hit 70 mph on 3S . If you want to go faster I would suggest you buy the Traxxas XO1 , 100+ MPH
@LionelGuy-oc8or have you watched my vendetta series? Let me say the motor handles way more then 4s lol but I have a playlist on it as arrma shared my vendetta review of 100mph one part changed before it was released to the public 👌👀
Very nice, mine should be here tomorrow. I was wondering how the flywheel works if you change it to run on 3s/4s. Do the RPMs go up or is it regulated somehow.
That bike is looking sweet Earl !!!!!!!!!. I dont know if I should buy one. By the way Earl I heard that the newer Traxxas E Revo Version 2 was recently discontinued because of the Traxxas Sledge….. is that true at all ?…. And can I also still find new parts for both my current version 1 E-Revo 1/10th or 1/8th as well as for the version 2 E-Revo 1/8th ?..
@@earlmoorhead5555 Yeah this channel named speed fresh whom is also an rc’er like the two of us was telling me earlier in a comment section that the e Revo 2.0 has been discontinued. Shit if that’s the case and they still sale them brand new I may pick one up. I’m a big e Revo fan. Always been into truggys.
Way off subject here Earl, but I need some advise on an XMAXX servo. The 2085X just went on me and I lightly drive this thing so it’s super frustrating. Can you give me maybe two options to go with? I’m just over Traxxas servo anything for my XMAXX. Thank you in advance. A Subscriber
Man, you've just made a string of videos of questions I've had! Thank you for that. Have you run the 3s on the dirt yet? I'd like to do a 3s conversion but only run on dirt. Be curious to see how it will handle. If you did make the vid and I missed it I apologize. Keep up the great work!
Thanks!
Thanks for the support as always 🙏

Thanks
Thanks for the info i thought the ring was to keep the wire neat lol.
Awesome to watch you work. Cheers Eman
Thank you! Cheers!
Right on! Thanks for your hard work and sharing your videos. Can’t wait to see it run👏
Nice job Earl !
Can’t wait to see some speed runs
Great job getting it all in, cant wait for the 3s run epic Boom 🎉
Another outstanding video with so much content thank your a king of the hobby. 😊❤
Thanks 🙏

What an undertaking great job on the upgrade to 3s 👏🦾💯💯💯
Good video great work .its going to be a beautiful standing backflip!🌪️
Awesome job, Earl!💪Very impressive! 👏 Definitely looking forward to seeing this Moto move on 3s!! 💯
Hi Earl, Vitavon has aluminum rear swing arm and a few other aluminum parts for this bike.
Bad ass man - speed run time
Need a front wheel
You did some great work there 👍👌👍
"IT WORKS" said some actor 😜
Lmao 😮

Killer work!🤘
cool kinda sounds like a jet with that gyro going lol 😂 😂
Yes Hilary, coming be carful 😮
Awesome job
I think being 3s would be better on the asphalt like a big ass parking lot. With the street tread of course.
Going good so far. Just to run now
That rear tire looks awesome by the way.
Yes still waiting on the front
Ferrite ring absorbs EMI electromagnetic interference.
Time for some action🎬
Great Job👏🏻. I'm intrigued by Losi's hesitance when it comes to designing the bike's power around 3S.
Yes I feel the builders and testers had to have done it for sure
Because the more power and speed, the quicker the vehicle gets destroyed, especially in inexperienced hands.
@hashimrahman51 I’ve totaled a xo1 in ten min when they where released lmao 🤣
Don’t be scared
It doesn't need 3s it's plenty fast enough already ..
Looks more like its done to tidy the cable out of the way instead of cutting the cable and redoing the connectors
Hope you stay safe from the hurricane I know what its like to have them coming. Mine tends to wheelie a bit to far on the rear fender from time to time for some reason it has too much punch or something it is my favorite mode.

The firmware will not turn on that esc anything over 2S I showed this in a video throttle won’t work and error flashes
Heck yeah dude
For get to mention i could do with a little tutorial on programming the esc and as soon as i see how you get a 3s battery to fit i have everything i need in a basket ready to buy
That 3s soft pack will squeeze in the lid won’t close tho
@earlmoorhead5555 I'll be turned in. I'll see.
Been doing some checks and now thinking where is 1cm when we want it
Good job🎉🎉🎉🎉earl 🔝!!
Great job…old school determination.
Heck yea brotha
Looking good! You’ll have to block that on your next run. Seems the wheelie mode controls the speed in order to control the wheelie. I’m sure we’re all waiting on that top speed🏁
6s it the way to go that motor can handle the blx 185 or mamba x 6s with np
Gyro slows down quicker when you leave the power on for the bike.
Can you put the helper wheels on the opposite sides? So they lean abit forward . To give you tighter turns
i can’t sleep finish it i want to see it😂
VERY COOL
Thanks 🎉...

Nice job , I yanked the 3s esc from vendetta too. Jsuk , the 4s esc in kraton and outcast is smaller than 100 amp 3s from vendetta, probably the same size as the 2s guy , ridiculous they can’t over power them a bit to last longer run cooler we talking pennies and only not because of marketing
The 120amp 4s line of arrma esc are bigger then the 100amp esc 3s line ?
@@earlmoorhead5555 no they’re smaller , I know it makes no sense, take a look at one your 4s arrmas.
Yes I will I just have them packed up right now I’ll check my esc bin I should have a loose one

⚡️👍👌
Awesome modification lol 5 star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Any mods needed to fit the 3s in battery box you never mentioned it
Love the rig but I just can't stand the sound of the gyro. It's gotta be much less noticeable when a guys playing with the RC
Thanks!
Appreciate your support very cool 😎
What type 3s pack all I can find to fit is ProTek shorty pack 4800
I'm wondering how you get power output from 2. ESC, with the servo cable cut off = gets no signal. How goes that? What brand is that 2. ESC for the gyro? Thank you!
Found the brand and studied the manual. But how to get permanent output voltage, without connect to an RX?

WAW !
What tire in the front is that a stock tire? Do you drive it with the super promoto on the back and the stock on the front? How does it ride like that?
Waiting on my super Moto tire to come in just received the rear last week all my parts are still on back order
With the super pro moto tire on the back how is it in grass?
Weird, wheelie mode makes the difference between 2 and 3s almost impossible to see
Yo Earl, you should try to get into some nitro. I always see woogie watching your vids in his vids and it’d be so sick to see you get a little nitro bashing kit, losi 8ight-xt maybe?!
I have nitro rc cars

Post up the content!!! I’ve seen the few vids of the Traxxas nitros, you should snag one of the new savage xl up! Have you built any nitro kits?
If you build a nitro kit and do a sweet series on it I have a cool engine I’ll send you to throw in it

Once you get the time, please do it dude!!!!!
Where are the locations? The park, asphalt pump track and dirt track?

See bike manual, stock esc can use 2S/3S. No matter which, 2s (7,4V) will come out for the gyro.
@antoninus1 go plug it in see what happens lmao 🤣
Does the esc need any programming?
There set up for speed on the vendetta but I will check them

Going to a bigger amp draw will never increase run time 🧐

So from the factory, you cannot run 3S?
No it won’t let you
42 was the max speed for 2s how about now
Idk 🤷🏻♂️maybe 10 mph more
