The rear Alloy Trailing arm alone is very $$$. With a wallet to match.
Agreed.. I'll be watching from the sidelines I think. If it really takes off with real upgrade support, maybe on sale I'd buyIf Upgrade brands start to support this Promoto, then it's probably a sign of its continued success.
I am sure many Upgrade Brands are following this RC bike very closely right now, and deciding whether to support it or not with their own Option parts.
But even they know that RC bikes are a fad. Come and go.
The first upgrade brand to jump aboard, usually makes the $killing$. Especuially if it enhances performance and/or durability.
It appears that the many Losi option parts are just mere bling, with no real performance enhancement. Just added weight and bling, if anything?
This Promoto looks to be a very nice $shelf queen$ conversation piece must have if anything, and that is how you fly.
I do feel as though it's gonna burn out rather quickly but who knows.. really cool conversation piece though.
I agree. Imagine making matching wheels out of Billet. $Ouch$
Jennys RC knows what is popular and is not. What butters their bread. Possibly Putting the cart before the horse? A quick push to market ahead of any real inventory. Only the Paid Influencers getting them. Typical hype pushing. All the LHS's as well. Nothing new.
I've already been looking at what TpPower motors will fit in it..$100 for the first person to get it to legit 100mph (not as a passenger in a car).
Offer valid for the next 30 days
I was doing the same. Also looked at some Cordova motors. The stock motor is a 3652 I think which I'm guessing means 36mm diameter with 52mm length. Here are some Cordova motors that should fit. I tried to pick KVs that were close to stock for each of the 3 sizes. Some of these can handle up to 5S and there were many other options with much higher KVs in the 2S range. Don't know how that would effect the flywheel motor but it would be nice to see if the bike could handle the jump in power from an upgraded motor.I've already been looking at what TpPower motors will fit in it..
I’d bet a 3D printed, solid disc wheel made from nylon would do the trick.
Maybe? I've yet to be impressed by 3d printed parts when it comes to strength.
3DRC would like a word with youMaybe? I've yet to be impressed by 3d printed parts when it comes to strength.
I'm sure, LOL. From what I've seen though, his parts are "unbreakable" due to flex. Not what I'd want for a wheel though?
No not at all lol. My first thought was same as yours like 3d parts are weak but then I remembered 3drc stuff and had to respond
No worries, I don't have alot of 3d experience myself. I may be off on my statement. I should have said that I wasn't impressed by the strength of "my" 3d printed parts,LOL.
I know..You are not doing it right
I'm just a "rasher", AKA wannabe!!
3D parts are fantastic for the right application, with the right material type, and printed properly.Maybe? I've yet to be impressed by 3d printed parts when it comes to strength.
I agree. Wheels aren't one of them though unfortunately.
