I've have been chatting with VITAVON a great company. I showed them pictures of the issues with the casting of the piston screw in the stock front brake caliper. I asked them if they could please make an all aluminum one . This was weeks ago, and Las week they sent me a picture of their progress on the caliper. They wrote me back again yesterday morning. And said to watch for it next week . In their ebay store. Also the front panel that fits on top of their already existing skid plate . They just came out with the aluminum gas tank and the knuckle to the in frame shock protector for the forks . The 7075-T6 aluminum is way stronger than the 6061-T6 ... I did the research. Stay cool 😎
@@Bogues_88 oh you mean GPM alloy fake rear brake .... VITAVON has the first real front brake caliper that actually works better than stock plastic one . I have it in hand . And it is amazing. It feels so good the disc pads are not the stock pads that come with losi promoto mx caliper. It is my favorite upgrade. I promise everyone will want this VITAVON caliper.
Beautiful parts Joe ! The only thing I'd be concerned about is eliminating the weak link that seems to be there by design to break under big impacts rather than bending the front fork or transferring the force into the chassis. Time will tell !
Yea I have bought the alloy gpm front crash part too but haven't installed it ... Concern would be the fact the plastic one flexes quite a lot on hard impact and if put alloy one on with no flex that load will be put into another part ...
Since these seem to be extremely tune dependent, I would probably have a 100% stock unit for comparison to each mod done. I know they are hard to get right now but once things settle down.
You obviously have great contacts with Vitavon, have they ever explained why they don't do more as a company to show / explain to their customers the proper way things are to be installed? I get that we have you to follow but your in the same boat as us, at points it's a guess when installing some of this stuff
He has made a few videos but keep in mind most of these aftermarket companies expect that you have the ability to do these mods. I do what I can to show the best I can but even I get confused on some things.
I think some Carbo fiber and titanium would be perfect. Weight from Vitavon parts can definitely become an issue. Huge thanks for sharing the weight differences.
Vitavon should have done actual spoke hubs. I'm not a fan of the mag wheel look on a dirt bike. But really cool to see they got product out already for it.
Man I really wish Arthur at vitavon would have made those wheels some form of a beadlock, to not have to deal with glue and be able to easily change out tires as needed
@@TheAmericanUhate I'm just buy spare wheels .. my original rear tyre will be a promoto soon enough with the amount of use 😂 and have new hubs GPM bigger bearings steel rear sprocket for my holeshot dirt racing tyres .. stuff swapping 24 screws each time I want use a diff wheel or tyres. Definitely not getting heavy ally wheels
Cage shame m2c don't make parts for ur bike or do they? Also nice talking to 2 nights ago when u done live? I was talking with rc madlabz too? Ur motos going to look sick once all done like ur x maxx 12s😊👍💯 percent sick
WHY does bushings & plastic in a $600+ rc anything NOT make sense to me?🤷♂️. Freaking Horizon! As CHEAP (made) as possible & still make the customers pay ridiculous prices!
Great video Joe! I ordered that front bash plate just to have as I have seen a few peoples break. I wanted to order the wheels and swingarm as well because they are so pretty but I am curious as to how it changes the bikes performance? Cant wait to see it! LOVE my Promoto. That and the Raptor R have been my two favorite purchases this year..... well that and the DBXL-E lol
Thank you🎉 Thank You. For the upgrades . ..... Mr. Vitavon King
Yes sir!!
Nobody loves this stuff more than this guy, his excitement is contagious!

yeah buddy Arthur is awesome at getting these things done!
GPM have ally brakes already
@@Bogues_88 what is ally brakes ?

@@think2cre81 no GPM has full ally front brakes
It looked like fun running through the grass and hitting puddles , the rougher terrain seems perfect for that bike

Well it survived some good hits

Such a well-thought-out design by Losi. Almost like working on the real thing except it's electric. I love it. The Vittavon looks sick.
They really did good on this.
Nice vid, I can see a difference since you have gone full in.
Editing, music etc are top notch.
You are a natural in personality.
Growth is good 😄
Right? His enthusiasm and personality is why I don’t skip the intros right to the action. Great channel and super cool dude.
I appreciate that! I’m trying to do better each day but sometimes I simply fail.
Now M2C needs to make suspension parts.
I'm glad u changed ur mind on ungluing those tires..😂
Just received those rims and they look great. Waiting on tires as well. Next will be that swing arm 👍
Cool to see mods already coming out!
I will be upgrading parts in the future as they break and also preventative.
Well done.
That's sweet Joe! Hope they come out with more things like longer swing arm!
Yep it’s coming.
Your nuts joe! Thanks for showing us all your toys!
Very nice bling. I wonder if the extra weight will affect the overall speed? Probably not. Since it doesn't seem to be much of a weight difference.
Can't wait to see how this thing performs when people start changing the electronics, we haven't even got any in Australia yet
Some have already changed motors.
Since these seem to be extremely tune dependent, I would probably have a 100% stock unit for comparison to each mod done. I know they are hard to get right now but once things settle down.
The 2.8 badlands look pretty clean on the stock rims.
Good morning Joe ☕ cheers
Morning!
I was kind of excited to see how a de-glueing would go.
Bake method its nothing special or enjoyable. However with those soft ass spokes they would probably melt in anything over 100f
Could always 'acetone' em. But if left in too long, the foam get destroyed.
Easier just to buy new rubber n foam.
I wanted to but time was a major constraint on this as I needed it the next day to run with some buddies.
Keep it coming just pick up mines today.
The Vitavon tankification begins! Nice 😊👍
Had mine since 2nd day released n love it and not broke nothing yet but body n helmet scratched to hell lol
Gotta love nice fitting parts!
Looks great!👍👍😁😎✌️
I'm gonna come over with mine some sunday My favorite RC by far
Come on
@1:05...you could do an entire video series on removing stripped hexes from RC vehicles. 🤣
LoL man they can be a MAJOR issue sometimes!

such a well engineered rc, picking mine up in sept, need the tourists to go home so I can get down to the dunes, without a 1000 people around
Beautiful parts 👍
Pretty much knew you were going to be the first to throw some vitavon on it.
Yea buddy. More on the way!
I love this thing, and I haven't even got to use it yet. I really hope it drives well.
How was the added weight after running?
great build bro!!
Thank you!
I guess titanium is out of the question. Would be nice. Great to see all the hopup parts.
Oh this is just the beginning, the mods for this are going to be incredible from many brands and builders.
I think some Carbo fiber and titanium would be perfect. Weight from Vitavon parts can definitely become an issue. Huge thanks for sharing the weight differences.
You forgot the boom, there it is all back together 😂
Can you get the supermoto tires to or the street I think it would be awesome
I tried but can only find the holeshots
GD, vitavon works fast!
Remember to grease your bearings
i knew it was coming... where are the billet vitavon elbow pads? loll 😆
I need those for me! 😂
Gpm hubs have bigger bearings gpm rear swing arm bigger bearings .. do vitvon have improved or just ally instead plastic?
Vitavon should have done actual spoke hubs. I'm not a fan of the mag wheel look on a dirt bike. But really cool to see they got product out already for it.
Spokes are incredibly difficult to get right at this scale.
You have a seriously expensive vitavon addiction 😂
Yeah for sure
They move fast
So your not worried about all that extra weight will affect handling? Especially with that Gyro? Okedoke, I'll be checking out the results on this one
So far it’s good. I want to get the wheels on there for better air control.
Maybe a better chain , wheels(rims🤔) and the radiator thing. Doesn't seem like the other stuff is worth it or needed.
DROOLIN!
Man I really wish Arthur at vitavon would have made those wheels some form of a beadlock, to not have to deal with glue and be able to easily change out tires as needed
That may be possible in the future.
Can't really because the tyres don't really have a bead ..
@roblapouple7552 Yeah I noticed that too. Just a weird flat edge on each side of the tire. Just hate having to glue & unglue tires to change them
@@TheAmericanUhate I'm just buy spare wheels .. my original rear tyre will be a promoto soon enough with the amount of use 😂 and have new hubs GPM bigger bearings steel rear sprocket for my holeshot dirt racing tyres .. stuff swapping 24 screws each time I want use a diff wheel or tyres.

Parts look killer🏍🏍🏍
🤩👍
Cage shame m2c don't make parts for ur bike or do they? Also nice talking to 2 nights ago when u done live? I was talking with rc madlabz too? Ur motos going to look sick once all done like ur x maxx 12s😊👍💯 percent sick
I’m not sure if M2C is planning anything for this.
👍🤪
do not modifie this thing the balance and material are very important a lot of engeniering
Not keen putting to much ally on just making it lot heavier
I can hear my wife already...
Prefer gpm parts
WHY does bushings & plastic in a $600+ rc anything NOT make sense to me?🤷♂️. Freaking Horizon! As CHEAP (made) as possible & still make the customers pay ridiculous prices!
HH needs more competition! Some company they can't buy out & delete.
I think its more like padding in this situation.
I’m areas of high contamination, bushings can be the better option.
