Overview
The Losi Promoto-MX isn't the first scale RC motorcycle that's ever been sold. But it is the very first one that accurately reproduces the full experience — and pure fun — of riding a real motorcycle. It's the long-awaited dream of RC hobbyists and dirt bike fans alike.
The unprecedented realism of the Promoto-MX goes much deeper than its faithfully detailed looks — the narrow frame, rider gear, and officially licensed graphics. Even more impressive is how successfully it captures true dirt bike performance, a breakthrough accomplished through a unique hybrid of mechanical and electronic technology developed specifically for the Promoto-MX. It's how these technologies work together that makes all the difference.
Promoto-MX electronics include a 2700Kv motor and steel flywheel that are both mounted in the centre of the frame. The motor spins the flywheel at over 22,000 rpm to create a gyroscopic force for unparalleled stability. Meanwhile, patent-pending Spektrum MS6X technology takes your input from the DX3PM transmitter and commands the Promoto-MX to lean, turn, and control wheelies with unprecedented balance and finesse.
The mechanical technology is equally impressive. Losi's product development team studied full-size motorcycle suspension geometry to give the Promoto-MX the same terrain handling characteristics. A rising rate rear suspension provides superior grip and prevents bottoming out in landings. The completely new front fork design, with an internal spring and dampener, can be tuned by changing the silicone dampening fluid and also allows ride height adjustments. An innovative front and rear wheel braking system gives the bike impressive stopping power, cutting the stopping distance in half compared to rear brake only.
Both technologies, electronic and mechanical, are why the Promoto-MX performs better at high and low speeds than any previous RC motorcycle. For dirt bike fans, the "feel" of the Promoto-MX will be instantly familiar. RC car enthusiasts will discover a new way to drive that pulls you deep into the heart of the action — carving berms, skimming whoops, holding wheelies, and throwing roost.
Finally. An RC dirt bike that really works! Anytime and anywhere, just grab your Losi Promoto-MX, get in the zone, commit to your line, and begin to be the bike.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Losi Promoto-MX suitable for beginners in RC motorcycles? — Yes, the Promoto-MX is suitable for riders with Skill Level 3 experience. Whilst it is not a beginner-level vehicle due to its advanced technology and realistic handling characteristics, it is fully assembled ready to run, meaning you don't need RC building or mechanical skills to get started. The three on-the-fly drive modes, particularly the Dirt Mode which helps prevent wheelie-overs, are specifically designed to help newer riders learn the bike's behaviour. If you're new to RC motorcycles but experienced with RC cars, you'll find the intuitive control inputs and stable MS6X technology make learning easier than previous RC motorcycle designs.
- What is the difference between the Promoto-MX and other RC motorcycles available in the UK? — The Promoto-MX is fundamentally different from other RC motorcycles because it's the first to successfully combine realistic mechanical motorcycle suspension geometry with patent-pending electronic stabilisation technology, creating authentic dirt bike feel and performance. Previous RC motorcycles either looked realistic but didn't perform like real bikes, or performed acceptably but lacked authentic handling. The Promoto-MX combines frame-integrated flywheel technology, dual front and rear braking, rising rate rear suspension, true-spoke wheels, realistic chain drive, and MS6X lean control to deliver something entirely new – a brushless RC motorcycle that actually handles like a real dirt bike.
- What battery does the Promoto-MX require and how long does it last? — The Promoto-MX uses a 2S LiPo battery configuration with the included Spektrum 5000mAh 2S 7.4V Smart G2 50C battery featuring an IC5 connector. This battery is specifically sized to fit within the compact, narrow chassis required for the bike's realistic proportions. Runtime depends on riding style, terrain, and drive mode selection, but the 5000mAh capacity provides extended play sessions. The Spektrum Smart technology means the battery communicates with the DX3PM transmitter, displaying remaining capacity via LED indicators so you always know when a charge is needed.
- Is the Promoto-MX waterproof for wet conditions? — The Promoto-MX is designed for off-road dirt riding and features exposed electronics typical of RC motorcycles. Whilst it can handle damp conditions and light rain during normal usage, it is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged or exposed to heavy water spray. After wet riding, allow the bike to dry thoroughly before charging the battery or using again.
- What speeds can the Promoto-MX achieve? — With the Spektrum Firma 3652 3800Kv brushless motor and Spektrum Firma 85A ESC, the Promoto-MX delivers powerful brushless acceleration with top speeds exceeding 40 mph, making it one of the fastest ready to run RC motorcycles available. The three drive modes allow you to optimise performance for different riding conditions and skill levels.
- Can I use a different battery with the Promoto-MX? — The Promoto-MX requires a 2S LiPo battery with an IC5 connector. Other 2S batteries with IC5 connectors can be used as upgrades or spares, such as the Spektrum 7.4V 5000mAh 2S 100C Smart G2 Hardcase battery, giving you flexibility for extended riding sessions with multiple battery packs.
- How do the three drive modes work? — The DX3PM transmitter includes three pre-programmed modes toggled on the fly using the A/B rocker switch: Dirt Mode allows natural pitch control for jumping whilst clipping throttle to prevent wheelie-overs; Street Mode clips throttle quickly when the front tyre starts to pitch up, keeping it planted for maximum acceleration; Wheelie Control allows you to hold full wheelies on smooth surfaces all the way to top speed.
