Losi RTR Promoto-MX 1/4 Motorcycle [VIDEO]

Editor’s word: There are three bikes accessible. Two are formally licensed by FXR Racing and the third bike is formally licensed by Pro Circuit and additionally it is features a Spektrum 2S LiPo pack and charger.

From Losi:
The Losi Promoto-MX isn’t the primary scale RC motorbike that’s ever been bought. But it’s the very first one which precisely reproduces the total expertise — and pure enjoyable — of driving an actual motorbike. It’s the long-awaited dream of RC hobbyists and grime bike followers alike.

The unprecedented realism of the Promoto-MX goes a lot deeper than its faithfully detailed seems — the slim body, rider gear, and formally licensed graphics. Even extra spectacular is how efficiently it captures true grime bike efficiency, a breakthrough completed by means of a novel hybrid of mechanical and digital expertise developed particularly for the Promoto-MX. It’s how these applied sciences work collectively that makes all of the distinction.

Promoto-MX electronics embrace a 2700Kv motor and metal flywheel which can be each mounted within the heart of the body. The motor spins the flywheel at over 22,000 rpm to create a gyroscopic power for unparalleled stability. Meanwhile, patent-pending Spektrum MS6X expertise takes your enter from the DX3PM transmitter and instructions the Promoto-MX to lean, flip, and management wheelies with unprecedented stability and finesse.

The mechanical expertise is equally spectacular. Losi’s product growth staff studied full-size motorbike suspension geometry to provide the Promoto-MX the identical terrain dealing with traits. A rising charge rear suspension gives superior grip and prevents bottoming out in landings. The fully new entrance fork design, with an inside spring and dampener, could be tuned by altering the silicone dampening fluid and likewise permits experience peak changes. An progressive entrance and rear wheel braking system provides the bike spectacular stopping energy, chopping the stopping distance in half in comparison with rear brake solely.

Both applied sciences, digital and mechanical, are why the Promoto-MX performs higher at excessive and low speeds than any earlier RC motorbike. For grime bike followers, the “feel” of the Promoto-MX can be immediately acquainted. RC automotive lovers will uncover a brand new strategy to drive that pulls you deep into the guts of the motion — carving berms, skimming whoops, holding wheelies, and throwing roost.

Finally. An RC grime bike that actually works! Anytime and anyplace, simply seize your Losi Promoto-MX, get within the zone, decide to your line, and start to be the bike.

PATENT-PENDING SPEKTRUM MS6X TECHNOLOGY

The new Spektrum DX3PM transmitter and SR6300PM receiver mix with patent-pending MS6X expertise for unprecedented management. Promoto-MX drivers can keep stability at excessive or low speeds and over jumps and whoops, then give easy steering inputs to carve round tight berms and straighten up heading into the subsequent rhythm part. For extra aggressive driving, use the MS6X knob to extend the lean angle.

“ON THE FLY” DRIVE MODES

The DX3PM has three preprogrammed drive modes which you could toggle between “on the fly” utilizing your thumb on the A/B rocker swap.

• Dirt Mode — Allows the Promoto-MX to pitch up sufficient with out clipping the throttle for going up soar faces and obstacles, however helps forestall “wheelie-overs” by intuitively clipping the throttle output if the bike begins to pitch up too far.
• Street Mode — Senses when the Promoto-MX begins to pitch up and clips the throttle rapidly, getting the entrance tire again on the bottom to speed up as a lot as attainable.
• Wheelie Control — Let ’em rip! Wheelie Control enables you to maintain wheelies on easy surfaces all the way in which to prime velocity.

SMART TECHNOLOGY

How a lot battery life is left in your bike? You don’t must guess. LED indicators on the DX3PM transmitter present you the remaining capability of your Spektrum Smart batteries at look! Using Spektrum Smart Technology, the Promoto-MX shops and shares crucial efficiency knowledge whilst you run. Upgrade to the Spektrum DX5C or DX5 Pro to obtain further telemetry data in real-time, reminiscent of velocity, RPM, amp draw, ESC temperature, and extra.

FLYWHEEL UNIT

The gyroscopic stabilization power created by its heavy metal flywheel — spinning at over 22,000 rpm with the 2700Kv motor — does wonders for the motorbike’s stability. Mounted as low and as far ahead as attainable within the body, the flywheel unit permits the Promoto-MX to pivot round its heart level to enhance leaping, adjustments of path, and the accuracy of the bike’s efficiency.

LEAN BARS

Don’t fear if the entrance tire washes out on unfastened grime. The lean bars are able to catch it. They’ll preserve the Promoto-MX from going over its most lean angle, serving to push it again upright to straighten out and exit the flip. The lean bars have adjustable stops for up and down journey, so you’ll be able to dial within the bike for any floor or grip degree. They additionally usually assist with crash restoration when the rear tire has traction. If the bike is down on the observe, merely hit the throttle to face it upright and resume driving.

SERVO SAVER

The servo saver’s stiff round springs, captured by bearing-mounted composite plates, present consistency in steering with sufficient give to guard the servo. But that’s not all. It additionally drastically improves the bike’s efficiency when setting down from wheelies, touchdown from jumps, energy sliding by means of a flip, and pushing the entrance tire over a rut. It provides so the bike stays up.

HEAD DAMPING

With 8-pounds quickly powering down the observe, it takes fairly a stiff servo saver spring setup to correctly information the Promoto-MX into the subsequent flip. Like something closely sprung, one of the simplest ways to regulate the robust springs is to dampen the motion. A key growth for the Promoto-MX is a fluid-filled friction chamber between the higher and decrease head tube bearings. The chamber is stuffed with heavy 500,000cSt which dampens the servo saver effectively and helps to regulate any attainable “head shake.”

NARROW CHASSIS

To seize the correct scale seems, the bike’s electronics and battery all needed to match inside a compact, slim chassis. Requiring a particular “shorty” battery would have made the design activity easy, however the Promoto-MX product growth staff needed to make use of a extra handy, normal dimension battery. Mission completed! A full-size 2S hardcase LiPo suits inside the rider’s seat, straightforward to entry for fast battery adjustments. Pop in a charged pack and also you’re again to roosting your competitors in seconds.

REALISTIC RIDER FIGURE

Complete with boots, mind bucket, and driving gear, the rider determine is prepared for all the similar grime bike-style motion as you — to leap, wheelie, carve berms, and throw roost. The rider figures of different RC bikes are made fully of froth, which rapidly fails. The Promoto-MX rider has a rubberized plastic exterior that may give and flex underneath impacts and flips. To preserve the rider from bobbling round on the bike, the torso has a foam insert. It retains the physique agency throughout regular operation however nonetheless capable of give underneath impression.

Going again to its first beginning lineup, over 50 riders have ridden for the Pro Circuit race staff, collectively incomes a powerful 31 AMA Championships and 6 MXoN victories.

OFFICIALLY LICENSED FXR RACING GRAPHICS (LOS06000T1 & LOS06000T2 solely)

Losi partnered with FXR Racing — a number one producer of helmets, jerseys, pants, and different equipment for full-scale grime bike lovers — to create the formally licensed graphics for the Promoto-MX. The Promoto-MX seems excellent. It’s prepared and ready for the gate to drop.

DISPLAY/MAINTENANCE & STARTING STANDS

Working on an actual grime bike is simpler with a correct bike stand. So the Promoto-MX needed to have one, too! The included stand for upkeep and show is modeled after an actual bike stand, full with graphics. To preserve the bike balanced on the stand, the Promoto-MX keys into the bike stand. Taking it a step additional, a hands-free beginning stand can also be included. This beginning stand cradles the rear tire and holds the bike upright and prepared for a gate-style begin.

PLASTICS WITH GRAPHICS

Big or small, no grime bike would look proper with no correct physique panel package wrapped in vinyl graphics. The Promoto-MX has all the products — entrance fender, quantity plate, fork guards, entrance aspect panel, rear aspect panel, and rear fender — all wanting contemporary wrapped in formally licensed vinyl graphics, however extremely sturdy and able to get soiled.

REALISTIC DETAILS

Even tiny touches matter, and Losi hasn’t ignored a factor. Brake and clutch levers, exhaust, brake line, foot pegs, brake rotors, you identify it — all the things concerning the Promoto-MX is finely detailed.

FRONT CRASH STRUCTURE

There’s nothing higher than sending an enormous triple, however what occurs for those who come up brief? Bending a fork leg or tube was not an choice, so the Promoto-MX product growth staff discovered an answer. The entrance crash construction is inflexible throughout regular operating, however compresses till the entrance tire bottoms into the chassis body to soak up these huge entrance impacts. That protects the entrance fork tubes from bending, retaining them protected and true.

REAR FENDER

Wheelies occur. A traditional, rigid-mounted rear fender would actually take a beating. But the Promoto-MX has the answer — a hinged elastomer sprung rear fender that may deflect out of the way in which throughout wheelies to show a sturdy nylon rear bumper. It considerably will increase the sturdiness of the rear fender.

SKID PLATES & AIR VENTS

Molded composite skid plates line the entrance and backside of the Promoto-MX chassis. They supply safety throughout crashes and preserve roost out of the chassis, serving to to guard the electronics mounted inside. The air vents on both sides of the bike come closed within the field, however could be opened to supply cooling airflow when ambient temperatures are excessive.

TWIN ALUMINUM PLATE CHASSIS

Twin aluminum chassis plates home and defend all the bike’s electronics and assist to provide the Promoto-MX its realistically slim look. They additionally give the body the rigidity and sturdiness required for harsh impacts.

RISING RATE REAR SUSPENSION

Just like an actual grime bike, the Promoto-MX has a rising charge rear suspension. The suspension begins delicate round experience peak, for easy dealing with and a superior grip. It turns into firmer because it will get deeper into up journey, to supply correct preload on jumps and stop bottoming out in landings. Dialed in with a full oil-filled coil-over shock, the Promoto-MX is able to rip on any floor.

FRONT FORK

The entrance fork of the Promoto-MX is a very new and fashionable design with an inside spring and dampener. Designed to work much like regular RC shocks, the entrance fork tubes could be rebuilt and tuned by altering the silicone dampening fluid. Using counter-wound higher and decrease springs, spacers can be utilized to regulate the experience peak of the Promoto-MX as effectively. And perhaps most significantly, they appear superior — similar to the true deal.

HEAD ANGLE

After months of testing completely different path settings, head angle, and steering ratios, the Promoto-MX product growth staff discovered the candy spot. A head tube angle of 62.4 levels provides it one of the best stability of bump dealing with, touchdown jumps, steering enter, and “head shake” management on all surfaces.

BRUSHLESS POWER SYSTEM

The Promoto-MX comes out of the gates HOT with a strong Spektrum Smart brushless energy system. Its 4-pole 3652 3800Kv motor places down the ability whereas the 85A brushless ESC provides all of the management you want. With sufficient torque to clear massive triples — and big 40+ mph prime speeds on a 2S LiPo battery — the Promoto-MX energy system rips!

FRONT CABLE-DRIVEN DISC BRAKE

Hauling in your bike is much more enjoyable while you’ve bought good brakes. The motor can deal with rear braking by means of the drivetrain, however like 1:1 bikes, a lot of the braking occurs with the entrance tire. To sluggish the Promoto-MX down from the entrance, the entrance brake makes use of a metal rotor, caliper-actuated brake pads, and servo-driven cable. It cuts your stopping distance in half — simply what you might want to catch the subsequent berm.

RACE-INSPIRED SLIPPER CLUTCH

As its 3800Kv Firma Brushless motor places out plentiful energy, the Promoto-MX’s race impressed twin disc slipper clutch helps the Dunlop Geomax MX35 rear tire preserve traction on unfastened surfaces. The twin pad, spring pressurized slipper clutch takes inspiration from those who the TLR staff makes use of to win races throughout the globe. It will increase traction and protects the drivetrain with out sacrificing explosive drive.

REALISTIC CHAIN DRIVE

We couldn’t name the Promoto-MX a dust bike if wasn’t chain pushed. Steel hyperlinks and 70 curler pins wrap round a 10-tooth metal drive sprocket and a 36-tooth aluminum hub sprocket. Regardless of situations, the chain drive will drive the rear tire effectively and reliably.

READY-TO-RUN

The Losi Promoto-MX comes absolutely assembled, with a high-quality Spektrum Smart radio system included and on-board electronics already put in. Even AA transmitter batteries are equipped! Just add a 2S LiPo battery with IC5 plug and a suitable charger and also you’re able to experience. Please word: IC3 to IC5 adapters won’t match within the Promoto-MX.
