YES!!!!🤙🏻 first real racing action I’ve seen!! They will be great once the promoto tires are available widely!!! Love seeing them dip into corners and wheelie out!!!🤙🏻👍🏻❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I tried 2 different tracks so far. Tonight i'll be testing on a short track. The sweet spot is running a foot off the wall all the way around the track
This could be really good. the difficulty of recovering after bumping may limit how many you'd want on a track at a time. Great video. Just got mine and am loving it
Loosening the slipper clutch helps a ton running on dirt oval. The slipper clutch is way too tight out the box for racing. using the spektrum program card to add more braking power helps too. We have been having fun on our oval track. Also as you said tales some practice. Not as easy as a RC car with 4 wheels. The Dirtbike is so much fun once you get it down and make slight adjustments.
@@james654100 theyve also only got a few packs of practice in. Its no different with buggys or any other class as your gonna suck when you first start to learn especially with something like this.
@@matthewh6242 all rc racing stuff is pretty freaking expensive so this being ready to run for like 400-600 aint bad for the tech its got in it. makes more sense it costing that much than some of the other stuff ive seen.
hell yeah me too! i wonder if some rear tyres with less grip could do the job. slicks may be too much but something with less grip so the back end can come out reasonably predictable would be awesome
This is a great video! Watching a more experienced driver and a newer driver both go through a similar learning curve with the bikes is very interesting. Super impressed with the level of tech and the never-before seen quirks the bikes displayed from both drivers. If these bikes aren’t the next RC craze I’ll be very surprised.
definitely the next craze. How long that craze last depends on whether people have a place to use weekly. The vehicles i race i have been using weekly for about 5 years. This has huge potential.
Watching a couple of these Moto RC's video's now and yeah..., i believe you can actually do races with these. I want one so bad right now. This is literally for everyone and everybody🤩👌🏾. ✌🏾
Cool toy, seems like a niche audience. I sold the thunder tiger ducati nitro super bikes back in the early 00's for Hobbytown, the only place that I ever saw pick up a league was one track in Florida.
Did you have them set to dirt mode? They shouldn’t wheelie much in dirt mode. It looked like wheelie mode. Also the brake adjustment for the front is important when trying to corner. Check out all the other adjustments too. There is one for how far it will lean over along with adjusting those side wheels. Great video as always
I couldn't tell you. I had it out of the box for about 10 minutes before that. Not bad results for thowing on the track. The racing will quickly get better
Looks like a trials or even road tyre would be better for that track. Looks like the knobby had too much grip for that track surface. But yeah very cool thanks for posting.
well its something i thought about too. It feels like spinning a bike wheel in your hands.. its hard to turn anything with a flywheel gyro.. but that also keeps it on 2 wheels
I was the blue bike. It was in mode 1, offroad. mode 1 will wheely with no control of the wheely. The other modes control the wheelies either holding them, or shutting them down.
I have a few R/C cars and trucks in my stable. I've been watching a few videos on this bike. After watching this video, I think I'm going to pull the trigger on this!
The manual states on page 11 the bike has a run time of 9-12 minutes & the Losi/Horizon rep sent me via email to let it kool down 5-10 minutes so you don’t harm the electronics for $550-$600 I’d think that’s not long enough - I haven’t heard of any overheating issues though
Go into the ESC and turn the drag brake all the way up and zip tie the front forks all the way down it'll turn faster it'll change the angle of the headset try putting a wrap of electrical tape on the rear tire to see what it does if it'll slide the minute I saw this motocross bike run I wanted to see the flat track bike somebody's going to do it
It all has to do with how much do they crash, is it hard on the marshalls? Some track owners are very quick to judge something new and never give it a chance. Some tracks already have lots of classes that takes time to run so thats why i keep saying that.
im not a basher.. thats fun for about 5 minutes or until you break it. but thats just me. its a cool bike to do whatever. I'm not one of the big money making channels.. or you would see me destroy it to get views like the rest. lol.
It was time for me to move on. It wasn't my track so i couldn't make the changes that were needed. I'm looking into finding new locations for the future.. we'll see, i love the mud bogs too.
just a standard size 2s lipo. We ran 4-5 minutes, the motor area was warm but not hot. My dirt cars run hotter than this bike.. can't really use much throttle.
No way this will ever be a racing class. These things are Novelty at best. If you had 5+ bikes they would be crashing into eachother and hitting the corners and walls constantly
it's already a racing class at another track. This test was just that.. to see if it can happen.. and we found out it can. The guys had 4 minutes of track time. That's hardly enough to make a judgement. "IF" it takes off as a class.. it's going to be big.
you can run the bottom but it's just not fast. The guys are running the top because it will hold the speed. Its a ton of fun sliding into the corner a foot off the wall tho. Guys will find a way to make them fast. Thats what racers do.
Agreed.. people race everything, but to make it a class at the local track it can't be crashing all over the place. It has to look like it may be a competitive class.
@@OvalRC more likely track dependant than anything else. Drivers / Riders can get better but if tracks no good it won't make for good racing .. don't see any issue with the handling .. for dirt tho maybe skids instead of wheels could be better ? The plastic little roller wheel looks like it could dig in if it grabs
Really cool how someone with no racing experience picked up a decent pace so quickly! Well done!
tried to show the truth of what it's really like
Losi really did their homework on this one.
Definitely need more flat track racing like this. Awesome video guys.
will be more videos.. we may have a place to race these indoor weekly this winter too..
Dude, you guys just sold me on these bad Losi's.. Gonna tear up the local high school track!
YES!!!!🤙🏻 first real racing action I’ve seen!! They will be great once the promoto tires are available widely!!! Love seeing them dip into corners and wheelie out!!!🤙🏻👍🏻❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥

Can’t wait! Going to be epic to have 4-6 guys at once! 👍👍
you'll see it on this channel pretty soon
Subscribed. That track looks great.
The lad with green bike is consistent and smooth to say its his first ti.e
This could be really good. the difficulty of recovering after bumping may limit how many you'd want on a track at a time. Great video. Just got mine and am loving it
I'm not sure if taking off the side wheels may help with bumping. Something we have to try
Staggered starts maybe ?
Guy in the green was looking smooth

Losi crushed it with this bike! Amazing!
Upstate New York,,,would love to race these,probably say these motos are one of the funniest rc to control.
I think a dirt bike racing competition is the only way to get rc dirt biking correct
hell we looking into racing them off road... going to be a fun class.
i think this is gonna be a future racing class. Id also like to see them do a smaller scale as well
Did you watch the video? If you had 5-6 bikes out there they would be hitting each other and rhe walls constantly falling over.
@@james654100 theyve also only got a few packs of practice in. Its no different with buggys or any other class as your gonna suck when you first start to learn especially with something like this.
Maybe if they were $400 cheaper

@@james654100 you would at first.. but then guys will figure it out. I can make 20 laps without crashing so its just going to take time.
Heck yea from a retired mx racer. My green one is on its way . Two more days 🤗 till arrival
I would love to see some flat tracking with these. I know it's possible, just time, practice, and familiarity with the bike!
hell yeah me too! i wonder if some rear tyres with less grip could do the job. slicks may be too much but something with less grip so the back end can come out reasonably predictable would be awesome
@@dub_riderI vote slicks.... it'd be cool to see guys having to feather the throttle through the corners
@@dub_rider need to try different tires. Too much grip makes the gyro do funky things. To little grip and the bike crashes too much. need a sweet spot
@@andrewchong1154 will be trying slicks on the high bite indoor track

This is going to be some awesome racing once people get the hang of it and learn different set ups on bikes tires etc!!!
just like the cars we race. We have to try shock limiters to lower the bike and make the suspension stiffer and try that.
Cool toy, seems like a niche audience. I sold the thunder tiger ducati nitro super bikes back in the early 00's for Hobbytown, the only place that I ever saw pick up a league was one track in Florida.
Looking good, the track looks a little slippery
I think we will try the pin type tires next
@@OvalRC yea cool

Look like wheelie mode
It was Mode 1, offroad.
I later found out it was not in wheelie mode. They wheelie up a little when they get bite down the straights
looks fun! we tried racing them at our regular track, this would make good practice!
that was super sweet!! now we just need to get team associated to make a bike too!!!!
I’m sure they started kicking the leg out😂
Very cool..
I love flat track and these will be used more and more to race i can see this coming.
With a couple of jumps in the middle of the straights, one on each side , it will be a blast.
Awesome!! I’m local and I want to race mine on the oval.
join the Oval RC facebook group .. we are trying to get more for thursday night.. send me a PM
Really cool 🏁
wait until they use the slingshot affect around the outside wall lol
I wish Traxxas would make some quads the size of the XRT. That flat track would more fun.
I remember the venom ones use to do propper drifts
Show 🏍🔥💥💨❤😍😎✌🏼👏🏻👍🏻🤛🏼
I would so race this platform. Get back into RC
Different tires will definitely help.
will be interesting to see what other companies come up with on RC motorbikes
Looks like a trials or even road tyre would be better for that track. Looks like the knobby had too much grip for that track surface. But yeah very cool thanks for posting.
thinking maybe a pin type tire may work. The track is going to try different things too.. maybe a loose dirt track at the top would help.
here's an idea, start a bike class, then in tandem, start a 'outdoor gym' where the workout is just marshaling for these bikes.
lol.. yes
God save us and bring the motorcycle to Germany
lol
I think if you guys can find a way to slow to gyro down a little bit. It would turn better on your truck
well its something i thought about too. It feels like spinning a bike wheel in your hands.. its hard to turn anything with a flywheel gyro.. but that also keeps it on 2 wheels
Too cool👍🏼
Man does that look like fun!!
turn right to go left, It works!
Probably be great after a bit of practice.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ mine IS ORDERED
Wall riding seems very effective
I need one !!!!!
Looks like u might have lost ur bike!!😁 I’m local so when the pennies save up, Y’all might see me 👍🏻🤙🏻
Thanks Mark, gotta have one now.
Get one, you'll love it!
You have to adjust the settings to three or something to keep it grounded
ill be watching around the country at the testing and proving of the parts dumpster, and waiting for the 2nd version release.
I ran offroad track this weekend .. i can see some breakage happening over time. The Oval Track is pretty easy on them really
On back order.... noooo. I've been waiting...
MX needs high walls! Outside edge. Burns etc. They don't turn like cars so Im guessing you could hammer around with high walls..
Does the motor brake the rear wheel? Can you adjust rear brake bias? Less front or more rear? That would make it turn, not the front brakes.
That would be awesome to race fpv with head tracking. You just got to find a quick way to replace the batteries
Would be awesome to see a motocross track , maybe stretched a bit
Looked liked wheelie mode
I was the blue bike. It was in mode 1, offroad. mode 1 will wheely with no control of the wheely. The other modes control the wheelies either holding them, or shutting them down.

the motor felt warm but not hot after 5 minutes. Actually much cooler than my dirt cars. Probably because your not using much throttle
i have seen guys building bmx tracks
Epic RC in Florida is racing them weekly! There's only 2-3 guys rn, but the videos look super fun! I'm definitely picking one up soon.
By this winter they will be racing them everywhere
I want to see em race on a custom scale mx or sx track built for them
I wish they weren't so expensive.
Tam's other half
Trail brake into the corners so it will turn.
They need to turn the gyro down for tighter turns.
the track needs to be a bit more dusty and everything will be perfect
Go into the ESC and turn the drag brake all the way up and zip tie the front forks all the way down it'll turn faster it'll change the angle of the headset try putting a wrap of electrical tape on the rear tire to see what it does if it'll slide the minute I saw this motocross bike run I wanted to see the flat track bike somebody's going to do it
yep.. will be trying that soon.. only had a few minutes before racing started to try it out
Your gonna need a track with taller burms in the corners and then it will be competitive
the track owner said the same thing.. so we will see
these bikes come with a starting stand ? looks like the blue one dont have brakes !
i found out you really dont need the starter stand.. just start right against the wall on the straight
Lodi need to take Wheelie mode out and put Drift mode in its place.
it wasnt in wheelie mode. Thats what happens when the bike gets bite coming off the corner.. you need to lower the suspension and stiffen the rear
It’s a really cool But it’s just a toy
Please make motocross track to race on.
I already seen it work on an offroad track.. its just going to take a lot of practice
Why do you keep saying "might" be able to do some racing? Put a couple wheel barrows out there and guys will find a way to race 'em 🙂
It all has to do with how much do they crash, is it hard on the marshalls? Some track owners are very quick to judge something new and never give it a chance. Some tracks already have lots of classes that takes time to run so thats why i keep saying that.
REDUCE the GYRO SPEED for better Cornering.
Definatly cool bikes. But I see bashing not racing
im not a basher.. thats fun for about 5 minutes or until you break it. but thats just me. its a cool bike to do whatever. I'm not one of the big money making channels.. or you would see me destroy it to get views like the rest. lol.
@@OvalRC I seen you race. Your a basher. Lol.
What happened to the mud bog races ??? Why no more races ???
Summer heat has been brutal man! I doubt we'll see any bogging until the rainy part of Autumn
@@bdablader95 Wow that sucks I really like the mud bog races ☹😮😭
It was time for me to move on. It wasn't my track so i couldn't make the changes that were needed. I'm looking into finding new locations for the future.. we'll see, i love the mud bogs too.
I would like to know what batteries they used and did they have any overheating issues
Both bike had the standard spektrum batteries. One was 50c and the other 100c
just a standard size 2s lipo. We ran 4-5 minutes, the motor area was warm but not hot. My dirt cars run hotter than this bike.. can't really use much throttle.
Where is the track in Sinking Spring??? Would love to get involved!
Ultimate RC Pitstop Sinking Spring PA. we are trying to get enough together for thursday night.. may take some time till guys get their bikes.
@@OvalRC When do cars run? Do you have certain race days there. Not into the bikes.
Wow..that was as boring as watching grass grow 😵
I own 2 promoto and want a place to race
kunt beter een stockcar kopen ovaalracing man man is een crossmotor toch

Take the front brake off
😂hahaha ! Woman in the pink shirt jumps and gets startled! Mam it’s only an R/C bike , Relax !
These look so fun! But they are definitely not for oval racing!
They going to real popular on the Oval.. just wait a few months.. trust me
Yea no idea how you can't see the potential for awesome oval racing ..
Looks like U can race it ??? WTF are you talking about ? If it moves you can race it ...... People race snails .....

Losi needs to spend more time developing their race cars, instead of these dumb things.
They are hyped up garbage. I ran 2 packs thru mine and listed it on FB marketplace for sale. $600 pfffft. They only worth $400.
Haha
what stupid circuit with trap at all round to destroy models
I'm so old school I hate this fad
These things are a joke and way overpriced for a bashing two wheeler.
Racing? haha, no.
