Well you should enjoy it , I did and still do.
In fact; it was so much fun I went and got the pavement supermoto as well.
All things considered the learning curve isn't too bad. You might want to start a little easy with a larger size open field. Tight corners require a little more skill but they are doable once you figure it out.
Good luck.

Did yours come with the v2 caliper? I just got mine today but haven't took it apart to see if it has the v2

Well I honestly don't know.
The promoto I picked up at my local hobby shop when they first came out so I am guessing no for that one.
Supermoto I picked up this past summer so maybe?

Guess I did not know there was a difference , now you have me wondering myself.
 
Yes the v2 caliper has bearings and a metal piston. The original has bushings and plastic piston. The v2 is as good as aftermarket calipers. Just got my mx and it dosent have the v2.
Part # los-2290

Thanks Mick ,
I am guessing it is the older style. Seems to work OK and brakes have not been an issue. Not sure I use them enough. LOL
Reading the description from your link it has a 3D printed metal piston. Interesting.
 
wrench time this weekend. Got the carbon fiber frame from lhs for 39 bucks. Its over an 1/8th of a pound lighter just doing that. it'll lower the cg. And I have pro line mx pro spec aluminum wheels coming. More gyro effect and even lower cg with those.= more stability. Pics coming soon.

Im just now getting around to start the build. But yes. Ronnie mac coming. Gonna be a fun build. These are so much fun to work on.
 
I bought my promoto from my local store , one of those things I saw had to have. LOL ; you know how that goes.
Then saw supermoto on sale in a kit so added that to the fleet , big selling point is it is #96 , this has always been my race number.

Both are a blast.
