Hey Joe, just a heads up. The lever thing-ah-ma-bob. Is the progressive linkage. The design is, the farther up the swingarm goes up, the farther the shock is forced to go at a faster rate. So it's much stiffer at the top of the stroke. So at the lowest point (hypothetically)the swing arm moved 2" the linkage move 2". At the top of the stroke the swing arm moves 2" and the end of the shock moves 4". I think that makes sense. That's the idea they have been doing on bikes since the early 80's. "Progressive linkage" Have fun
I wonder if we will ever see one these drive across water like I've seen full size do. Now that is a project you should look in to. Be the first to hydroplane a promoto!
When are they going to make some aloy wheels. That would be sweet. I just looked up the vivaton rims they look pretty nice but I would like some aluminum one like the stock style but aluminum.
Man, be careful with the water. I got mine a bit wet, and it fried my stator out. It smoked the next time I turned it on. I thought I dried it out good for a couple of days. But HH has them in stock. Good videos, keep up the good work.
I enjoyed the bike scene from the thunder tiger days and have a few. It kinda operates the same as a full-size. At speed, you counter steer, at slow mid corner, you steer in the opposite direction you make the servo turn in the direction that you are going. Radius can be tighter. Ya, they are different indeed. My bikes don't have a Giro and do quite alright. Give that sick bike a try👍👍🤙🇨🇦 Throttle smoothness is key.
I ride dirt bikes in real life and it’s amazing how realistic the promoto mx is the pivot thing on the rear swing arm is called your rear linkage and the vitavon pice behind the triple clamp is your radiator on a real bike
Yup, and the 2 pieces of the rear linkage are called the link arm (looks like a dogbone) and the shock cushion (shaped like a triangle). It looks like the new Stark Varg electric dirtbike frame the way it's built rather than a conventional dirtbike frame.
Have u watched the latest Amain video? They show how to adjust the 2 rollers on the sides in contrast with something on the remote in order to get sharper turns
Na, it is if you have no throttle control and haven't practiced much with steering tightly, The bike is perfectly capable of running in tighter places but remember it is 1/4 scale
All the other parts are cool but I don’t think a aluminum crash plate is a good idea. It’s most likely going to cause something more expensive than a $5 dollar piece of plastic to break or bend.
Great video as always, quick question for you, I’ve been hearing some guys talking about having to adjust the chain tension the arm. Is that possible (necessary)with the Vitavon aluminum upgrade? Thx for info👍
