    Great video as usual, add one thing to make life easier. Where the clip goes thru to hold the battery compartment closed, I dremeled/filed a slight ramp so when the body clip exits the hole, it has room to clear ...

    Great tips for first timers! Thank you! With the batteries I've taken the frosted clear plug off the balance lead and put clear heat shrink tube over it to protect it. If you don't do this you risk getting the whole balance plug smashed and possibly shorting the battery and causing a fire. My plug got destroyed but luckily no fire as i spotted it first and carefully took it out. Keep your great videos coming mate and Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🧑‍🎄🎉🎄

    When you ride a bicycle you do the same thing to initiate a turn. you turn the opposite way. We don't know that because it is something natural we picked up as kids. I suggest you watch a physics video on bike turning. There is nothing wonky about the turning of the Promoto MX it is the way all bikes turn. You just don' notice it when riding.

      Yes! Seems counterintuitive, but clearly works!

      @RoadsideRC ​Roadside what is better for rock crawling a Everest 10 or a Ascent in your honest opinion? Or even once they are both fixed up with motor,tires,etc which is better for crawling?

    I just subscribed to your channel and gave it a thumbs up I really like this video this is awesome because I'm planning on buying one of these can you please do a video on how to clean it how to wash it cuz I know I have a real dirt bike and when I wash it I got to do all this prepping and stuff so water doesn't get into the carburetor and all that crap so if you could do a video on that that would be awesome man 👍

    They need to make a Ricky Carmichael outfit for the rider and a James Stewart outfit for the rider that would be great!!!

    It has a normal steering setting on the controller. The N&R switch.

      If you flip that switch, then the bike won't drive correctly.

      Good news - I have not had much need for repair parts.
