    Dude i come from being in the motor trade working on real cars and retired with a tool box and tools totaling $30,000 Australian dollars. So $30 for a decent set of hex drivers is not expensive at all. In fact it's the least anyone who is serious about the hobby should be spending on what is the most vital of tools needed imo.

    • @johnrobinsonrcessentials
      @johnrobinsonrcessentials День назад

      It just goes to show how much of a tight ass I am. Saying that I started the channels with videos all about saving money and testing to see what works for the cheapest. That included tools. And honestly those other ones lasted years. But I do see why people spend a little more. And here I am freaking out about 30 euros and you have tools totalling $30.000. Dear god! That is crazy but of course good tools pay you back over time. Wishing you and your family the most amazing Christmas and New Year. Stay safe. 😊

    @publicprofilename4273 7 дней назад

    Now, say I'm in the US, don't have either. There is currently a sale where I can get 1 as an rtr and 1 as a roller. Both carbon fiber $469us, CF rtr metal roller $439, metal rtr CF roller $389, and both metal $359. It doesn't matter which model I select for rtr or roller, doesn't effect price. What ya think? Good deal? My plan is to try and coax my dad into driving with me. Maybe I'll keep the roller for me, throw a hobbywing in it, and give Dad the rtr. I'm almost thinking the $359 for both metal is the way to go, but know thy self lol. I'll end up upgrading it along the way, and if I manage to get Dad hooked so will he... When I was a kid, he got "me" a Hornet kit that he put together. I remember it started as a hornet, morphed into a quicker monster truck, then into a NASCAR on road with foams, and in the end it was an on road 63 vette.. that was insanely fast, to my 10yo mind in 1986 anyway. So, clearly I got my "never is it finished" quark from him, so... I dunno. I'm not able to do both CF versions, but perhaps the roller, with rtr metal. Ok, I'm also that guy who types comments on RUclips, while thinking things out, still typing. My bad for that. Hopefully you've not devoted an hour to reading my multi volume encyclopedia on a single question..

    Mine is all straight. Once I start driving, it runs straight until I go either right or left and then it pulls that direction until I bump it the other way and then it pulls that direction. I can't make it go straight. It's like the servo sticks a little off center while it is under way. If you stop and run it left and right, it returns to the center.

    • @JohnRobinsonRC
      @JohnRobinsonRC 11 дней назад

      What it could be is that one of the bolts so where is too tight. So it's got enough strength in the servo to turn but not enough torque to return to centre. Try loosening a few steering mechanism bolts a bit and then try driving again.

    Already got my order (for the CF RTR) in last night (I'm 100% certain that my order was among the first 200). Personally, I feel that Rlaarlo is producing outstanding quality vehicles. The quality of the great majority of their parts is equal to, if not better than, Traxxas & Arrma. Yes, there was a short-term problem with some of the hardened steel parts when the AK-917 was initially released, but that was due to the hardening process they were using, which they had adjusted/corrected within a few months after the problem was discovered. As for using 190mm bodies, the body posts is not the only upgrade that will be needed. Because the current body is slightly wider than traditional 190mm bodies, people will also need the 190mm Conversion Kit, which includes slightly shorter upper & lower suspension arms, as well as slightly shorter links & driveshafts. Without the conversion kit, the wheels/tires will be sticking out from both sides, front & rear. Speaking of upgrade parts, all currently announced parts are already available. But, be aware that several of them are already close to being sold out (at least, for the first production run). My collection of 'Phase 1' upgrade parts (I tend to group my upgrades in "phases") shipped last night (late morning China time).

      I have to agree with Rlaarlos progress into the RC market. They are doing well, with a few issues along the way. But all RC manufacturers have those problems. Concerning the body shells, you are right. I found that out after the video was released and I am a bit confused as to why Rlaarlo were advertising "standard 1:10th" sizes. Clearly not if you have to change parts. But for those wishing to then it is at least possible. Thanks for highlighting that fact! Strangely I converted the AK-787 easily to my Petter Solberg Subaru Impreza shell and it fitted without swapping out anything..... So the larger width is confusing to me. But again, at least people get to tinker and learn their cars. And Rlaarlo have worked hard on their parts problems and issues and have understood that they need them at the same time of launch which again is all about the learning process. And again my friend, thanks for pointing that out. I will highlight your post so much appreciated. Have the most awesome of weekends1111 😊

      @@johnrobinsonrcessentials Because 1/10 bodies come in 2 'standard' widths, 190mm and 200mm. Any 200mm body will fit just not 190mm although there are many more 190mm bodies available than 200mm. It would have been better for body options if the out of the box setup was 190mm body friendly but the performance/handling would be better with the setup they went with imo.

      You should make videos about it when you get your upgrades. I’m interested in seeing how everything converts

    You can ditch the front receiver box and install a standard size servo.....the standard servo mount will be on the Rlaarlo upgrades catalog eventually. Then you can relocate the receiver to the 2nd box in the back.

      The 'standard' size aluminum servo mount is already available, as are all the other upgrade parts. However, it should be known that you won't find ALL of the XTS-F10 upgrade parts by going to the "XTS-F10 Parts" page on the Rlaarlo website. For some (currently unknown) reason, many of the XTS-F10 upgrade parts are found by by going to the "RZ001 Parts" page (that would be the Omni Terminator, for those not familiar with Rlaarlo's model numbers). In going to the RZ001 Parts page, parts that are compatible with the XTS-F10 area clearly labeled as such.

      Thank you buddy. Been in the hobby for years but every day is a learning experience. Which I love. Of course my thoughts at the time were, why would you need two receivers, rather than, what a great idea having two options for receiver placement. Old man brain conquers again. 🙂 Thank you. @ninthislandrc again a good point my friend. I said the chassis and some of the parts were the same, but not having the parts under the actual model number is a mistake @rlaarlo for those wishing to find the parts they want. I will send them a whatsapp now mate. Thank you again!
