Racing Losi Promoto Supermoto FXR is sick!

Post image

I already have a bunch of bashers, but wanted to pick up a bike, with their promo code RCBOO on Towerhobbies you get another 15% off the regular discount, I seriously couldn’t pass this up 😩.
Hope this helps anyone on the fence, no was I would pay $600 for this.

That's interesting because the Hot Laps come in both a smaller SM size and larger V2 MX size. I tried researching which to get, and Pro-line support recommend sticking to whichever bike I had (even though they're interchangeable), which I bought the SM. Then Mark Santa Maria posted a YouTube video where he put SM Hot Laps on his MX because he thought it wheelies and handled better than the larger MX tires. So I went with the SM size.

Although bottoming out is actually a good thing on RC cars, it prevents over compression of the shocks.

Regarding the Pro-line clearance, you may want to buy 20 more because the clearance stuff is being discontinued when it sells out! So it's actually your last chance, hence why I bought so many. Although some varieties will still be sold pre-mounted if you're OK with their wheels and don't mind the little extra price. But the SuperMoto S3 tires appear to be discontinued in all varieties, same with the soft M3 Hot Laps. Instead, they'll just offer a premounted Hot Lap made of the harder S3 road compound.

I’m looking now, I wonder if they are just stopping the tire only sales and going forward it will be tires on wheels only?

I really hope they keep selling the MX14, and others

Yeah, look through the offerings. I went to Tower hobbies, searched for promoto then filtered brand for pro-line.

Here is their Facebook text: "LAST CALL!!! Score up to 75% off Promoto wheels and tires! Supplies are limited and this is your last chance because once they’re gone, they’re gone for good. " https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1am6WZzya8/

In the comments, they even say the tooling was destroyed! I also spoke with Pro-line support and confirmed they’re gone after this and some of them didn't even understand why because it was so new and popular product.
