Now this is back to old school racing. Everyone just seems to be having fun. 😊 this is how rc racing should be.
Exactly! Thanks for the comment!
Yeah man I love the vibe here! It just looks so ridiculous with everyone having no more than a week or a few days of experience lol, crashing all over the place. Can’t wait for mine.
@@GeddyRC yeah most of us didn’t have more than a battery pack or 2 through them yet. A little wild but should get better. Some ideas are being tossed around about making a couple turns wider and sweep more for the bikes. But I love this track, everyone out there is there to have a good time and have fun. We get competitive but it’s always just a fun welcoming atmosphere. RC racing is still in its infancy in our area over half of our regulars have just gotten in to RC all together over the last year and a half. It’s been awesome watching it grow and seeing people step up their skills.
@@GeddyRC that’s the great part. Everyone is new at it just having fun. Exactly as the hobby was intended to be like.
@@MrGeorge426f you can see there is a ton of potential in these things. some of those jumps were super clean and i think the turns looked fine its like you said though needs a few more hours of practice to get t down.
Thanks for uploading, very helpful to see how they run on a track. Sounds like y'all had a blast giving the marshals some exercise.
Yeah a lot of smiles and laughs from the racers and crowd. That’s what the hobby is about having fun and fun was had! Thanks for commenting!
I heard a lot of laughter and that's what RC should be all about. Thank you for sharing this. Reminds me of my early days in racing when it was fun
Well said!
Absolutely, that’s what this track is about. We try not to take ourselves too serious and just get away from the real world and have a good time. Lots of good competitive racing with nothing but fist bumps afterwards!
Total carnage! I have a red one and these bikes are super fun. It is a new skill set and maybe part of the appeal is that we are all learning. This is what RC needed IMO.
They are super fun. We were crashing all over the place in this race because we are all newbs. When people talk bad on them because these “expert” RC racers can’t drive them I just laugh. You can take that “expert” title and toss it out the window with these. It’s completely different.
That's one of the craziest things I've ever seen!
can't wait to see this when people have had time and actually learn how to drive them.
Yeah 4 of the 6 of us this was the first or 2nd batteries we had through them. It’s 1000% different than a 4 wheeled RC. I was running fairly smooth laps in practice, but then you throw in the excitement and competition of trying to race and the patience went out the window 😂. The potential is there for sure though.
wont happen
Come on Horizon, get our pre orders out soon! We are dying out here waiting!
Seriously! Preordered day of release, still no update! :(
@gedrickwilson looks like the red and blue are already shipping. Green ones mid month. Looks like Horizon had something like ten times the pre orders they expected.
Gonna be July of 2024
This is like RC Excite Bike😂 Looks like a blast!
There had to have been a prize for the longest continued front roll into a marshal, with extra points awarded for height above knee level. This looked like one hell of a day of pishing yourselves laughing and endless fun. The best part is that when these are finally released in Australia there will be a number of strengthening mods and hop-ups for us to dive straight into. Or someone could just buy a truck load of them and ship them out here, we're gagging to get our hands on them, so much so that all the pre-orders are sold out. Well they are in my area anyway, I tried to get a couple more but they'd have to be part of the second shipment in a few months. Pointing out the obvious, Losi have a monster hit on their hands and they'll be filling back orders until next year. Enjoy your toys lads, you lucky buggers. 🙃👍
It was a good time for sure! Best of luck getting your hands on one. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@jonathanbuckner9005 My jealous... I mean my pleasure, mate.
Can't claim to know whether, or not, this is the first Promoto-MX race in the country...but, it could be. It's not "who won", or "who lost" that matters. The only thing that matters is having fun...and, I'm 99.9% certain everyone did. 🤙🏼
For sure!
Definitely fun. We didn’t know for sure of course. And this was just kind of thrown together, we didn’t even have transponders for this one. It was fun and the driving should only get better. 4 of the 6 driver were on their first battery pack on these things. Nobody had one before Thursday.
Remember what it was like trying to do laps on a track with a car first time out...
This is what happens when you don’t have your suspension technician out there tuning in the shock and forks. 😅🤣
😂
Sweet! That looks like so much fun. Great to see y’all on a track! 🏆
It was awesome to watch! Thanks for commenting!
This was ridiculous 😂👍🏻 giving those guys a few bruises and quite a workout
😂
Dirt oval would be the way to go with these. There is no way a 10th scale buggy track is gonna work for racing. I could totally see a Grand National style race with these. Or, if ya want jumps- put some jumps in the middle of a large oval and that may be fun too. This is the first video I've seen with any racing, so it will be interesting to see what different clubs are able to do with these and if they can keep the craze going. To be honest, if we want to keep new people interested in rc- it is important that the racing be easier to get into. A dirt oval would be perfect to get everyone acclimated to this totally new class- because right now nobody knows who to drive these things.
I agree and it's because they turn and brake badly
Once you learn to control these bikes you will be surprised, you gotta learn to break and turn into the corners and these things will turn on a dime especially if you adjust the front break, although it would be much easier on a oval and bigger tracks, these smaller tracks are definitely doable though, if you notice toward the end they were starting to get the hang of.
@@TheCabledawg1They don't brake badly, they brake as well as a two wheeled vehicle can.
But yeah, a 1/10th scale track is too small, they should do fine on a 1/8th scale track.
If those triples weren’t right before that turn I think they’d look much better
It will need to be a big track and lots of sweeping turns. Oval makes sense but throw in some jumps where you have to decide of "making the triple" is worth it or not.
Love this 😂😂😂 I see they have a long way to go before they can have a race with these things alot of learning and maybe a special track for this bike 🏍
This is hilarious I love it! So much chaos! Can't wait to get racing mine!
Yeah it was great, thanks for watching!
Those guys were working hard out there. Bikes flying around all over the place
Reminds me of the Vintage Tamiya classes we'd do! Box stock, no damper oil and stock tires. Loads of fun!
Yeah, have not got to race the last few weeks, weather has not been Cooperating! Thanks for watching!
So happy my local track ran these yesterday, definitely gonna pick one up!
I woke up to this yes sir the video I was waiting on. Happy Happy Happy
Thanks for watching!
@bigstuu9945 Totally agree it was awesome to see six bikes racing a lot of crashes but i think the drivers were a bit to keen to get round the circuit.. 👍😃
This is awesome! Hopefully more bikes show up in the future and more classes are created. 👍
For sure!
Thanks for the upload. My observation, while this looked fun, I believe these bikes belong on a 1/8th scale track. The jumps and curves need to be more flowing. For example, on the back part of the track with the longer turn and doubles, there were far fewer issues. The part of the track closer to the drivers had a lot of issues. The drivers either had to learn to slow down and not drive them like a 1/10th buggy or they needed to be more of a sweeper and less 90 degree type of turn. The triples need to be driven differently either they drivers needed to have a really fast run and hope they cleared the middle jump and could land the third one or the jump need to be redesigned to give them a better chance to make the jump. Most of the bikes that failed the triple crashed right into the 3rd hill of the triple.
Like most thing there is a learning curve so if they class keeps getting popular this work itself out. Was fun to watch and glad so many people participated. I hope we see more videos in the future.
These will definitely do better on a 1/8th scale track. Berms in the corners would also help on a small track like this, but then it would need to be a dedicated bike track.
These are big machines so yeah they need a way bigger track.
looks like they must have cancelled prerace practice laps loll 😆
We definitely didn’t have enough practice. I unboxed mine at the track threw a battery in it, drove around in the grassy pit area for a few minutes and then practiced on the track for the rest of that battery pack. Then during the drivers meeting for the regular racing they asked if the guys with the bikes wanted to run an test race if we had time between qualifying and mains. Everyone said yes without hesitation 😂. We knew what it would be that was 4 out of 6 of us’s first day driving them. Just a learning curve and and a lot of having to forget everything you know about racing 4 wheels.
This looks like a ton of fun, it's going to be really fun and interesting seeing how people tune these rigs to run. Tremendous potential and I think this is more than a new discipline, but a new segment of the hobby. There will be speed runners, bashers, and track racers all with different goals. Losi has been sucking for awhile now with over priced boring new releases....this is some good redemption for a brand dominated by Horizon's corporate interests.
I agree, thanks for watching and commenting!
This new rc motocross bike has brought fun back to almost every rc track including indoor carpet oval and road course we just add jumps lol
yeah for sure! thanks for watching, still working on my skills at the track its a struggle sometimes lol!
Thanks for the video, Super nice looking track, man the turn marshal's had their work cut out.. I wondered how it would be on a track. Little different for sure but cool, I am enjoying the Promoto I got for my wife.
These things look like so much fun!
what a good race I hope to see more videos of these motorcycle and car races =D
Thanks!
I love it! Though judging by just this I can tell you guys had the same problems as I did trying to run on a course designed for 4 wheels.
A couple things that all tracks need for bikes is a big start/finish table, whoops in the high speed sections to reduce overshooting corners, adding a section to triples to create rhythm sections, berms on fast tight corners, and making sure there is enough run up and braking before and after big jumps.
Oh and not to mention a starting lane.
I can’t wait to see these racing on tracks made to bring out the best in the way they handle.
Purpose built tracks should be great. I can’t fault anyone from coming to the conclusion that these things suck from watching us try and learn to drive them on camera in a race setting. Until they have driven one and can actually feel it and know the potential that’s there it really can’t be put into words. It’s not a 4 wheeled RC and the that will have to be the first thing someone needs to accept.
@@MrGeorge426f As with anything new, give it a couple years for people to dial it in then you'll see magic.
The RC bike technology is not all the way there yet for me, but these things are hilarious to watch!
These would fit a BMX track perfectly!) looks super fun!)
Looks like lots of fun! Hope to get one soon! There will be lots of aftermarket part! Enjoyed the video!
Thanks, it was a blast to watch
That turned out even worse than I expected ... we need to make tracks that are better suited to motorcycles.... I have two of these and they are a lot fun, but you need a lot of practice to run them on a tight course.
My favorite rc of all time I’m just burning through packs on my track !!! Tires to !! These things will go through some tires !!
Probably should have had the first race be on a flat track. Love the epic crashes.
I've never seen busier turn marshals
Great workout 😂
Look at everybody laughing!
That must be so fun to watch. I surely enjoyed watching the video. 🤣
Maybe build some small berms in the corners by the piping so bikes can hit and turn quicker. Nice video
That triple is really putting it to them. Definitely have to time it right cause that front flipping isnt gonna hapoen too many times without major damage or at the least increased stress on the components
Dang that looked and sounded like fun! I’ve been waiting on someone to post a racing video thanks
That was Great!! Give it another 6 months and this will turn into the hottest racing in RC!!
Yeah definitely has potential!
This is awesome. Reminds me of a different time. These are only going to get better. Enjoy this time with them. They will get perfected and more competitive soon. Seems like they need better breaking and suspension. Reminds me of the old Grasshopper slap when they land. 😂
Thanks for watching!! It was a blast to watch
Just think, this is only with a few days and at most a week of practice (since preorders just started going out) - once they’ve been out for a while and people have practiced it’s going to look awesome out there.
Looks like everyone had a blast - as it should be!
Yeah that was the first day me and my brother had ours. I played for about 5 mins in the grass and then about 5 more minutes on the track and then it was time to start racing. They asked us if we wanted to run them in-between qualifiers and the races for fun and everyone was down for it. All the other guys that ran didn't even have track time on them before we ran this, just playing in parking lots. It was a blast even though we was horrible. 😂
The honing of skills will be the easy part....but having these kinds of days and this much camaraderie sometimes comes at a premium .
@@traviscollins82 Awesome, sounds like a blast!
One thing I noticed in this video is that you smartly had a lot of marshals, because these things can't easily turn around if you hop the track by accident. You definitely need about double the number of marshals to be able to set them straight. Like with a car you just blip the throttle and spin it around, but with the much wider turn radius on these (not to mention simple tip-overs) you constantly need someone there to make sure they keep moving.
Overall you all did a great job running this! Looking forward to more race footage :)
😂😂 Not sure if this is the best advert for these but looked a hell of a lot of fun and kept the marshalls occupied 😅
lol for sure!
It would be a great idea (i think) to get some super-moto going. Much smoother surface …say on an asphalt road course and add jumps & rollers.
Looking forward to see the evolution of this new bike…and hopefully other companies will join with theirs.
Yeah, thanks for watching!
Super cool!
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing as we've all wanted to see how these will run in a pack. Unfortunately, I think this is going to be a brief moment so enjoy it while it lasts. I know people are hoping this will be a "reignite" like the Traxxas slash unfortunately this will be more of an exhibition class.
The laughter in the background says it all
I think the better a better they learn to control the bikes this will be some awesome racing! Need to make a track set up just for the bikes, that would help alot also, lol Looks like loads of fun though 👍🏻✌🏻
It was a ton of fun. You have to really relearn how to drive these things. People without an open mind to that will hate them. It’s easy to see us crashing all over the place and think they suck. But really we suck lol. Once you drive one you will understand the potential there just waiting on us to catch up. A purpose built track will be ideal though and the most fun.
@MrGeorge426f exactly the potential of these things is crazy. They really set a new president with these. I imagine other companies will follow and come out with some. Can't wait
@@MrGeorge426f I have the old Ricky Carmichael bike, once I learned to drive it that thing is was a blast, I'm thinking about buying the electronics from the Losi and upgrade it to brushless except the gyro because it is in the rear wheel. I may have to run a separate power supply to the gyro ?
Now, this is what you call just having plain fun. There will always be a child in us one way or the other no matter what. Thanks for sharing....
Yeah gotta have some fun! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Can't wait to see them race on a track designed for these bikes.
🤪always wanted to see these bikes race!
We just raced ours on a big 1/5 scale offroad track that we usually race our Losi 5T and DBXLs on. It was perfect for the promotion MX as the lanes are double the width of a 1/8 off-road track. The jumps are farther from the entry and exit of the turns, and 80% of the turns are banked. Hopefully, it catches on more and we get bigger tracks like our 1/5 scale track It is the perfect width and jumps compare to our 1/8 scale offroad track which was hard to control the bike on. The 1/5 scale track was easy. Banked turns make a world of difference for these bikes.
Yeah that sounds fun! A 1/5 track would be sweet!
I feel like a kid again just watching thanks.
Ok. Everyone is still learning. 😂😂😂
Congratulations to the pilots. This is the world's funniest first RC racing 😮😂
That was a mess, but a fun mess. Should definitely have banks in the turns.
Very cool. I'm digging the motor bikes
Looks like a great time wish I was there.
Thanks for sharing. It looks like they might need a bigger track. The turns are a bit too tight.
For 4/6 racers it’s their first pack so… they’re very very new, they can definitely make these turns
Soo unstable and hilarious to watch 😂
its driving me nuts seeing everyone else getting theirs and still no ETA on mine, havent seen a green RTR one on the wild yet
This will be your 1st video to go RC VIRAL!!! 👍🏻
🤞
I've seen these get bashed, but never race on a track! Looks like out-of-control fun!
I wonder if these motos, since they are so large, will launch their own class. They probably would benefit from a larger/wider track, too.
Yeah I agree but man it was fun to watch. I bet when people get used to driving them they can push the limits more. Some of the guys literally unboxed them at the track. Not to bad for a trial run lol.
@@CrashCourseRC86
What a blast!
That is so awesome !!!! Man that could turn into the next Shortcourse truck racing lol 😆 I want one !!
for sure, I do believe they are capable practice laps looked good put when they lined up to race mayhem followed lol.
OMG that was the greatest! I was laughing so hard for like 5 minutes straight!! not harping on the RC bikes. those are really cool. I'm thinking about getting one myself. just the non stop Kaos and crashing had me rolling. my dog was concerned about me. I seriously had tears coming down my face!
Thanks for watching! Got some things to work out but man it was fun to watch for sure! I think these guys will improve over the next few weeks.
@@CrashCourseRC86 oh yeah, I'm sure they will. seems like double jumping the triple was the best way to go. :) those new RC bikes seem really cool. I bought the Jeremy McGrath bike when it came out and it pretty much sucked. :)
For the sheer fun and nothing else! HILARIOUS! 😂😂
Yeah it was fun to watch, like teaching kids how to ride a bike 😂
Its like watching pre schoolers trying rc for the first time.....funny as hell !
OMG tons of fun guys😅😅
yeah it was great to watch, thanks for watching and commenting!
Every video I see of these makes me want 1 even more, Im up for a challenge lol. Great video.
Yeah! Thanks for the comment!
LOL that looks like a ton of fun
It was fun for sure stay tuned for more RC vids! Thanks for watching!
que bonito esto es casi mas divertido que las motos reales me a gustado mucho el video
Thanks!
Just what I thought would happen. Need a 1/5 track. After ripping up and down the street a few times will get bored!😕
I would race these in a heart beat. I used to race when I was younger. No rc tracks in Rochester ny
Yeah a lot of fun, thanks for watching!
Love this...
best video I've seen on them.
Thanks, 2nd race video is up, here is a short clip czcams.com/users/shortsoGqMSs7Mroc
Finding the ideal line & gas control... Super funny guys!😅👍
Yeah lol this video was from release date week some of the guys literally opened the boxes at the track 😂. Looking forward to this year and what unfolds at the track! Thanks for watching and commenting!
This is really cool but it looks like the track needs to change for the bikes the corners needs to be a lot wider !!!
Looks fun. I'm sure once you guys get some practice you'll be able to time those jumps more effectively. Cool vid. I subscribed to see how this evolves. Looking forward to it. 😎👍👍
Yeah we have improved and slowed down a lot lol. It’s winter time now so not any racing at our local track. Maybe this years layout will be more accommodating for the MX bikes! Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!
Need to build a track with NO Plastic Pipes like a real MX Track. The plastic piping is wrecking havoc and making it not legit to race in my opinion.
Nice track! What a great time
Going to be a big learning curve at the bike races. Would be good for circle track . The racer with the most control will win.
Yeah they were improving by the end of the race seems like. Not going too crazy and trying to triple was working good. Thanks for the comment! L&S
I'm on my 2nd pack and it defiantly takes getting use to
Some more time to learn and the Proline Holeshots on this surface will be a huge improvement.
Crashing every 50ft really helped the Marshall's burn calories lol dirt oval would be more suitable.
My kind of fun... getting mine soon to join the boys @el nido park redondo beach, ca.
Awesome hope to see some Vids
Well we knew with this release this class racing was only a matter of time. Pretty cool. Well done Losi pushing the hobby forward. This likely will be for Losi what the Slash was for Traxxas.
Awesome fun watching this video
Thanks for watching!
HH is going to make a mint off spare parts for these things.
There is a few other manufactures also like Reely. 1/4 scale dirtbikes
This is the content I need lol
Ahh yeah!
Wow ! At first I thought it would be cool, but is not what I would do with my $600 bike. (Practice anyone?) Maybe run them on a BMX track ? Anyway - this is the best release so far this year and should be loads of fun. Can’t wait for mine.
Hardly any practice before this, all of us just got these Thursday and Friday and some the day of. There is potential there it’s just VERY different. It’s not the ideal track but it can still be done. I was running decent laps practicing but all that went out the window with the excitement of the race. I want to try the holeshot tires and figure out a little better front brake.
👍🏼👍🏼 With a track designed a little bit better for those bikes oh man it would be a blast but That was awesome
Thats my local rc track❤️
Now that is fun!
You guys have everything in america all we get in england is cold miserable weather.
yeah I hate the cold, were getting into our winter season where I live so outdoor racing will slow down for a bit. thanks so much for watching and commenting!
I knew it would not take long for some to start racing these. Great job Losi, now all they need is practice and lots and lots of it LMAO.
Yeah lol the practice laps what few only some of them had did not look to bad but when they lined up to race mayhem followed !
Awesome, was there much damage ?
Everyone drove away, think someone cracked a front plate and someone lost a foot peg. But overall I say pretty durable!
@@CrashCourseRC86 cool, thanks
Just give it time. Once people get the feel down its on.
For sure!
Make the track 10 feet wider in all areas, and they will be fine.
Super cool
Thanks for watching!
Wet is ther an rc park in ky
