Of all the bajillion videos that are about to drop of this rc, Derby City’s was my most anticipated!! I doubt I’ll pick one up, but just watching Evan work over a newly released rc is something special to behold 🤣
Best mix of info, entertainment, and durability testing on the internet 👍
Dude I appreciate that! I make reviews and videos the way I’d want to see them so I’m just glad that others agree! Thanks a ton for the awesome comment!
🔥
I agree with this one. I love your content man. Your kids always around makes it super relatable to me with my kids always hanging around too. I’m new to the hobby and your channel is the best one I’ve found. Keep up the good work!!
5:16 that went in so smooth
Yea this is the best rc channel easily
Thanks dude!!
This channel deserves 1,3 million subscribers and not only 13'300.
Thanks 😊🔥🔥
For sure 👍
Thanks!
Thanks so much bro!! 😊
@@DerbyCityRC NP I love your video and Dad style !!!
I’m excited for the vortex 😊😊😊
Next I think 👍👍
Me too, that's my target for this year. 😍
Almost got it , might still if DC says spend the extra $50 instead of a rlaarlo 1/12 desert buggy ?
@Hungrybird474 I definitely like the vorteks 3s better than that desert buggy. But it’s more than $50 more! bit.ly/arrmavorteks
Go vorteks 4x4 3s 👍🤪🤣. I've got my grandson's vorteks doing just over a 100kmh. 😂 great video mate 👍 😅😂
Oh no! The body! And I love those colors. I think this is the one I’m getting… but probably the carbon version because I’m a sucker…. But no backflip though…
Yes carbon version seems worth the extra cost (I’d love if you use my link in the description for your purchase when you’re ready 🙏)
@@DerbyCityRC will do brother. Thanks for the content.
Edit… amazing has it $14 cheaper at the moment but I’m not ready to pull the trigger quite yet. I’ll loop back when I’m ready. I’d like to see some improvements in those shock screws though…
Ya they sell upgrades but I’m gonna work on my own shock screw upgrades in a video soon anyway. And it will backflip with that higher speed pinion 😊.
I appreciate that bro! I’m gonna add the Amazon link to this video description too.
Def do a raffle! Cheap to win and helps your channel out! Win Win.
I agree man! More funds for cool projects too. (Including one already in the works).
@@DerbyCityRCYesss! More projects! Like when U try other components like esc/motor and tire/wheel combinations or simply another body. Also some Frankenstein/hybrid builds too. Love ur channel and keep doing what U do!
@andrewwadas2180 definitely things like that, but something better also in the works!
@@DerbyCityRC maybe a comparison to the HBX 2997a and HPI Savage XS Flux mini ??
@@DerbyCityRC could you please link your raffle page?
Thanks!!
I would love to win one!!!
Thanks! Good feedback so raffle is now live for the hbx 2997a.
raffall.com/353442/enter-raffle-to-win-hbx-2997a-rc-car-hosted-by-evan-weingarten
Thats how I went thru life!
🤣🤣 we all have our ways.
Oh wait so did I! 🤣
i was shocked by that dramatic throw!! id enter a raffle. that hbx is a blast
Very shocking! Yup it’s an awesome car! Excited to get the raffle going.
This on a 100c 4s battery is absolutely amazing!!!
Haha, I bet it is!
Great review, perfect mix of bashing and not just braking it because one can brake it.
That’s exactly where I try to land. Reasonable, yet somewhat careless and hard bashing to show how good it performs, but also to get a good idea on durability. Thanks!
I have the vortex and it is very awesome
Yup I like it a lot!
Oh man- those power slides were so fun looking!… but jumping… but sliding… but jumping…
…
…
But sliding…
They were!! 😃
Wow this looks fantastic seriously thinking of getting the carbon one with bigger motor. Really wanted a 1/10s but this might do.
Ya 1/10 would have been awesome, but still good!! The CF version definitely looks sweet with that bigger motor and the blacked out body!
Raffle! And the boy knows how to go through life 😂.
Raffle is up!!
Dude so many people have said that lol
I’ve been doing it wrong this whole time 🤣🤣
Raffle!
Definitely!!
I didn't no relallo was Chinese I still want that on road car they have
Ya they had two decent on-roads. I believe they have another bigger one in the works.
Looks fun I would totally get that optional bigger pinion gear.
Definitely lol
Just purchased the carbon version... Before watching your review. Glad it held up to that punishment 😅
Sweet!
Same here, im actually pumped.
Nice!! 😃
How can’t even buy it on the site yet still says coming soon
That’s weird. Without trying to make it sound too simple, did you refresh the page? Might take time to roll it out around the world.
Hey Nick, I mean Jake, if it's windy when you're recording, use a high pass (EQ) audio filter to remove the wind noise (low frequency audio content). It makes a big difference. Keep rockin', love your videos!
😆
Thanks for that info! I’ll see if CapCut has that. CapCut is about to get replaced anyway. My audio keeps glitching and it’s not glitchy when still in edit mode. Just started maybe 2 months ago and Hasn’t been fixed with the last two updates either.
Thanks!
I have that charger as well. That thing is a must with multiple RCs. Fast and feature packed.
Yes it’s my 3rd good charger and definitely my favorite. It came with it set to Chinese though and took a good few minutes to figure out how to change the language lol
This is by far your best video yet! The editing is really well done. I was actually entertained the whole time. You and your kids are hilarious and that adds so much to the videos. I think I am going to buy one of these now after seeing how well it did at the Derby City RC Thunder Dome.
I appreciate that man!!
The kids are something else for sure lol
Definitely a fun little truck!!! 😃🔥🔥
Awesome video man! Always enjoy watching your reviews. May have to add this truck to the list. Been wanting a new 4x4 monster truck and this one looks great! Price is pretty decent too.
Thanks! Ya this is a good one!
I love your vid style. New subscriber. AWESOME!!! love from Hong Kong
Awesome, thanks bro!! 😃
What are you talking about we all want to go through life with no pants on! LoL he's a genius 😂
Either a future genius or just wants to party 🎉
So many people have said this. Lol
I guess I’ve been doing it wrong. I need to fix that.🤣🤣
Definitely a genius!!
NEW VID EARLY LETS GOOOO❤
🔥
Good test Evan, i found it interesting you got under 60kph with the 19t pinion changed over when i ended up getting just over 60kph with the already installed 16t when i speed tested mine. I agree the shocks are tuned perfect on this rig and overall quality is great for an under $200 basher👍
Thanks Dave!
Wow that’s interesting. I double checked the speed knob was all the way up. I’ll have to make sure I didn’t miss something. But yes I think it species pretty well with the current sale.
Thanks bro!!
Nothing wrong with rcing with your pants around your ankles! Leave that kid alone! I literally was ordering my carbon fiber edition while watching this video so wish me luck! I do wish it was a little larger but meh I think it's going to be great! I been waiting for you to make a video on this thing since I heard they were releasing it!
Oh and definitely do a good cheap raffle! I think most fans like myself would eat that up!
@@DerbyCityRCdef saw that the Tx throttle dual rate may be turned down on others
Haha! He’s a wonderful little child!
Ya it’s still good for the size, just wish they hadn’t over-exaggerated it.
Awesome man I think you’ll be happy with it and glad you like the review 🔥🔥
If it's durable & easy to work on then it'll be a winner.!!
Agree!!!
Great video! Seems like a cool rig
Thanks!
Yup not bad at all!
What a great car and review. Thanks man
Thank you!!
Great job on the review Evan 👍💯
Thank you Dan!
Looking really good. Im sure many of us would love to see a back to back with the 2997a. Pluses and minuses for each.
Probably will do that! I feel they’re pretty close!
Definitely raffle. Also a comparison video between these two would be awesome as well.
Definitely!
And definitely!
Oh right! I almost forgot about this guy for a minute… I got caught up over in “beyond RC” world but this guys pretty good 😮 may I say the front flip king! Although, I’m pretty good at them too since I realized in 2018 the best way to prevent crashing is to slam on the breaks and do a front flip to landing 😂 I guess the real question is whether or not this guy can really drive or is he almost always about to crash so he hits the front flip! 👊 ha ha ha ha ha ha😂
Dude, is it any good? I can only buy so many RC’s and I’m a mini junkie but within moderation. I saw a Savage XS comparison and I gotta tell you that’s pretty dope because the Hpi Savage XS is amazing, but hard to control and a handful. I I guess the ultimate comparison would be how well it handles next to the team associated reflex MT! Thoughts?
Oh and I apologize, I won’t have time to watch the video until tomorrow! So if you answer all of these questions please forgive me😂😅
Can’t believe you forgot about me!! 😭😭😂😂jk.
Ya dude this car is pretty sweet. Let me know what you think when you watch it. The HPI xs is a tank and absolutely nuts. Almost too nuts. Still want to try mine with better tires 👍👍
@@DerbyCityRC I need to watch this tonight… i’ve never adjusted well to being a grown-up! 😂 😝 👊
I’m not sure I’ll ever grow up 🤣🤣
I ordered the carbon fiber rtr version for $250 it's hard to beat that price for what you get. Also ordered the aluminum servo mount and 17mm hex conversion 😁 . In my inpatience for this truck I bought a AE reflex 14mt and made it 3s
Sweet! I agree man. And I was just informed that the CF version comes with a better body material.
I need to get my 14MT back out for sure! I bet that’s awesome on 3s lol
This is the review I've been waiting for.
Hope it was worth it!! 😃
Awesome video and editing. What's the gear pitch on that pinion? I got a whole bunch of mod 1 pinions 😁
Thanks!! 😃 it’s 48p according to the website 😆 rlaarlo.com/products/16t-pinion-gear-for-rz001?ref=ml6gV9o7
I’m new to the hobby. Tried to get an old 1986 Tamiya Blackfoot to work but no luck. I bought the carbon fiber model after multiple recommendations on Reddit. Looking forward to getting it !
Welcome! I believe you’ll love it!
These bigger rc companies better watch it lol😂, that was quite impressive
Dude for sure lol
@DerbyCityRC I ordered the 787 carbon rtr on road, should be at my door any minute, might have to add the terminator to it.
@Sempath2023TechGuy definitely looks like a sweet on road car! That’s awesome!
@DerbyCityRC I got it know, looks next level but my pinion must not be on the shaft
Very nice video, really put it through it paces, ordered the carbon roller, gonna 4s it 👍😀
Thanks man! Ya the carbon roller is the way to go!!!
Turbo st! I’d love 1 of those. Awesome vids mate👍
Thanks!
Never seen a brand new body.. just crack apart on the first run like that one.
I have lol
The metal version uses PVC material, while the carbon fiber version uses PC material!
Great video and great bashing as always. I'd be in for the raffle!
Thanks! 😊 raffle is live!
raffall.com/derbycityrc
Just for people looking at this one be careful, I got the carbon fiber and it came with a bent center drive shaft, and the diff cups are showing wear after only a couple packs run!
That stinks 🥺
I’ve seen a couple other people mention the drive cups. I’ve driven it more than this video with no such issues yet. I will definitely say they’re having some major shipping issues and there are complaints over customer service from some people. Hard to say if we’re just hearing about it more because of how much this truck was anticipated, or if there are actually a high number of issues compared to normal. From what I have and my experience, it’s an excellent truck, but that’s not been everyone’s experience unfortunately.
Nice review...love your videos 💪💪🥰 got mine on the way😎
Thanks, and that’s awesome!!
Just picked up the carbon fiber version. I'm excited 😮
Super cool!!
I love that Rlaarlo went with their own design on this and didn’t copy WLtoys or XD. Which is where they usually start their designs from and then improve them. I think that 45amp esc should of a 50-60 amp which is probably why a lower c rated battery doesn’t last long. It seems like the esc is made to draw lots of hi capacity juice. I really like this . Wish that blacked out body would an option with the metal version. The carbon version is already special enough.LoL! Love that idea the young minion gave you! That was awesome! As alway Even, it’s fun, entertaining and great to get your honest perspective . Take it easy brother!
Yes I’m glad too!!
I agree that blackout body is pretty epic lol. Wish this also had the bigger motor.
That little minion is a smart kid!! Thanks as always Robby!
Love the barrel roll you did! Definitely the smoothest RC trick of February 2024 worldwide! 😂👌 The body shattering like that is straightup almost unforgivable. There is plastic packaging that i almost need angle grinders to open, and you tell me you can't find plastic that won't shatter? Get outta here 😂
This car looks awesome, thanks for smashing it for us and giving 'er hell! 🙌🥇
Needless to say, im getting this car! And shoe goo 😂
Dude, that’s my first perfect barrel roll ever I think. I was so excited lol. Been secretly trying to do that for a long time lol.
Ya the body shatter was disappointing. I’ve noticed bodies getting thicker lately, but it has them shattering instead of just splitting like before. There has to be a better and still affordable option!!
Thanks and you’re welcome!
lol definitely shoe goo 🤣🤣
The metal version uses PVC material, while the carbon fiber version uses PC material!
@@DerbyCityRC
Good to know. So the body on the carbon fiber version won’t shatter as easily? Thanks!
Great review as always! Yes I would toss in a few $ to win the HBX.
Thanks, and awesome!! 😎
Keep up the great videos soooo entertaining !!!!
Really appreciate that! Did you see my dinosaur chase video yet? 😆
Have not given that one a watch yet. I just ordered this in carbon version. So checking out some of your older videos on it.
@Gamebit450 awesome! It’s such a well made car! I’m also going to be doing a video with a lot of upgrades on it soon!
I think you’ll love it!
You should get the redcat racing volcano epx or epx pro They both come with oil filled Shocks One is brushed and one is brush less.
It’s on my long list lol they’re good looking cars for sure.
Great video my friend! enjoyed a lot watchig, tuff car, cant wait to see more about this one and off course, excited about seeing the Vortex soon, anyway man, blessings to you and your family, thanks for keeping uploading your cool vidoes :)
Thanks bro!! 😃
Great video on the Terminator can't wait to see the vortex video and you now everyone going to be in for Raffle
Thanks! Raffles will definitely happen!
Definitely down for raffles
Sweet man!! Excited to get that rolling!
Just bought this truck blindly (my first Rlaarlo) but I am glad that your video confirms that it's pretty good. Keep making these awesome videos mate! Oh an btw. I was more shocked by the apprupt ending of the video then by the dramatic throw. 😂
I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!
Thanks bro, 🤣 that ending surprised me too lol
Another great video! Looking forward to the raffle!!
Raffle is up!!
Thanks man!!!
Great video, watched it twice. Think I might have to push the button on a carbon one of these 😊
Also got to say, I absolutely love the interactions with your kids. You seem like an awesome dad with a really natural report with your kids, which is lovely to see. "Hey bro, that's not how we go through life" 😂😂
Sweet choice!
Glad you like the channel style and the car! Haha couldn’t not put that in the video lol
Could you recommend new tires other than the ralarlo tires that would bolt on without an adapter the stock ones don't have much traction on an limerock road
I’m not sure which tires would be best for limerock unfortunately
Cannot wait to see you put a more powerful motor in it. Will it be from the Carbon Fiber version 3650-2650kv motor?
I’m excited too! Might be roughly that size, but it won’t be that motor.
Awesome videos. Best overall/durable basher under $350. Your test and review videos are the best. Whatever you say I’m buying. Thanks
Thanks dude! I say $250 in the video, but honestly it’s probably my favorite under $330. I wouldn’t choose this over the granite or the vorteks or the MT10, but this and the HBX 2997a, there’s nothing that comes to mind that I’ve got that is better up until you hit $330. Pretty awesome!
Thanks again!
@@DerbyCityRC thanks for responding so many others don’t. So what’s the best basher if money wasn’t a factor? Thanks again
You’re welcome! I try to get to as many as I can and definitely miss a few. From everything I have, I’d say the outcast 4s. I have a 6s Kraton but I prefer the outcast and its flipability. Some would definitely argue that the 6s outcast would be better than the 4s but I don’t have one.
@@DerbyCityRC thank you
You bet!
Going to buy it soon,so im excited (really excited)
Sweeeet!!! Which version?
@@DerbyCityRCthe normal version!
Awesome!
Bruh you made me go ahead an order one 😁👍👍
Nice! Did you see my other video on it comparing to another similar car?
You won’t be disappointed on that truck 👍👍
Again nice video!! I think I’ll still be sticking with the 2997A 👍🏻
Thanks! I hear ya! It’s a beast too!!
Great truck for that price. ‼️🤘
I do agree!!
I'll take part if you raffle , send a link we're to get tickets 👌🏽💯
Sweet. Here is the page it will be at. You’re welcome to go ahead and follow. Gonna get it going as soon as possible.
raffall.com/derbycityrc
Yes do it
Done! raffall.com/derbycityrc
Definitely do the raffle my dude
Already created, thanks bro!! raffall.com/derbycityrc
To be honest, I actually appreciate this size, so that I can bring it anywhere I go. If you notice, all the China brand RC car are a size or two smaller compared to domestic RC brand. It is true, if you look at all the Amazon reviews of the Chinese brand RC car, most people; Always say that it is a scale or two scale off. I am convinced that the scale size., such as shoe sizes, are different in Asia country. If Rlaarlo want to go after US / UK market. They need to reconsider renaming their scale to 1/12 scale truck instead. That way people won't feel cheated, Your thoughts?
I hear ya! I don’t mind the size though I hope future terminators models are bigger. It’s more that we all expected it to be a bit bigger.
And yes!! I’ve said that before. Here in ‘Merica, we love our big trucks so our average scale size would be bigger (I guess lol). However, I feel the bigger companies have set the standard and probably what they should all go by. Not all Chinese companies have smaller scale numbers, like the JLB Cheetah, and even most HBX models. They also almost always overstate their speed lol.
I think eventually they will become more standard sized because people will get more and more annoyed. Lol
Pretty cool truck. Rlaarlo sounds like a noise my cat makes before she throws up, but they definitely put out some decent kit. I need to quit being lazy and get the AK 917 going.
🤣🤣
Yes you do! Lol
@@DerbyCityRC 😁
No No No they sound like a cat when you step on their tail accidentally 😂
🤣🤣
That did it! I am buying one now
You did an excellent review. It was thorough and it was a great durability test. It's an impressive truck. The way. it absorbed the landings off a jump is great. It handled very well. I wonder it's designed to compete with the MT10. It may need some reinforcement under the hood area. I enjoyed your review. I would be interested in a raffle.
Thanks! Pretty similar performance to the MT10 really, just a bit smaller obviously.
Glad you liked the review and excited to start raffling!
Has anyone received any updates on the whereabouts of their Omni order?
Supposed to be received by the end of the month is the latest I’ve heard. Hopefully!!
i believe you have had the 917/787 and the terminator. Which would you say is the best value for money? I know it comes down to bashing vs on road as per preference. Ive done both just curious on the value for money bc i only have money for one atm.
Actually I have not had either of those. I was hoping to get one before this speed competition that Rlaarlo is putting on but I just won’t have time, so I can’t say so for sure. However my guess would be the Omni. It’s really well done for the most part. Just cant say for sure.
Awesome vid, bro, 👌👌👌,would,nt mind winning, THE TERMINATOR, I,LL BE BACK, I want your sunglasses n rc car 🤪🤣🤣,,see you have grown to more little uns, nice fixing, lol 👍
Thanks dude!!
wow Im surprised by the size comparison, I was sure its close to a 1/10 scale.
with the high pinion it has good performance but for this price I want a bigger car.
rival mt10 is 320$ and is a better deal.200$ for this size is a bit high.
great video and review.
Yup if you’re in the market for an actual 1/10, there is definitely better.
I personally do feel it’s priced well for a 1/12. They definitely put the work in on this one, just weird they oversold the size. Doesn’t seem like that would work in their favor.
Thanks!
@@DerbyCityRC maybe it's more of an Outcast if you put some larger tires on the terminator? I bet you'll have a good assortment of tires by now lol!
Maybe lol. Probably really needs the bigger motor first lol
Excellent review! SOLD
Awesome and glad you like it!
This one vs HBX 2997a? 😎
Haha! Working on that video right now. 😄😃👍👍
I was strongly considering the carbon version of this but horizon is having a sale on the brushless granite for $260!
Can’t beat that deal lol
Which do you like better?
@aknorthroader1 oh the granite for sure lol. Completely different animal and larger. The rlaarlo is definitely a good truck but with that granite price, ya the granite for sure. Amazon has it for that price too if you check the coupon box!
amzn.to/4c6oWiu
Super cool!
@@DerbyCityRC thanks! ordered the granite! Maybe ill get the rlaarlo also! However, only having one source for parts isn't ideal.
@@DerbyCityRC how did ya get the coupon to work with Amazon? Couldn't get it to work. Would prefer Amazon cause they don't charge shipping.
Do chinese do a good 1 8 truck with alloy etc :) all metal shafts. WHat you think of zd racing mt8
I’m interested in the big ok ZD but haven’t ever tried it
Looks like it could be the best rc you could buy for $250.
I agree that it looks like it could be the best RC you could buy for under $250
On Rlaarlo's website they listed the amount they have in stock. I always get that fear of missing out but yet I don't want to over pay either. They have the Omni Termination Carbon Fiber version from $330 to now $250 (sure I know it is a marketing gimmick); but do think we will see this cheaper by the time it hit Amazon? Or buying the pre-sale is the better bargain? Your thoughts.
I really don’t know. Hopefully it doesn’t go up, as I feel they’re priced well. I wouldn’t be surprised if they go cheaper but I just have no clue. If they did it would likely be a while.
What size it the Alan driver you use to remove the lock screw in the 16 t gear to install the speed gear the one included just spins wont back the screw out
It was either a 2mm or 2.5mm if my memory is correct.
Du bist einfach sehr cool und bodenständig 🎉🎉🎉Feier dich richtig 🎉🎉🎉weiter so.
Thanks my friend! Really appreciate you saying that!
I'd be interested in the raffle for the hbx
Awesome!! Looking forward to it!
I wasn't expecting it to hold up coming out of rlarro
Rlaarlo has done a decent job. This is definitely their best one yet.
Kind of an abrupt ending to the video haha. This thing looks freaking sweet! If I hadn't purchased another RC already... lol
Haha yes.
Ya man you got a good one!
Ok 3 trucks on my radar WOV racing 1/9, Arrma Big rock 3s 1/10, Rlarrlo Omni terminator carbon fiber . Which is y’all favorite from these options?
Don’t have a big rock, but the granite being somewhat similar, I’ll go off that. Granite is the craziest out of them all for sure and I’d say I prefer the WOV over the Omni, mainly for the size and power, but of course it’s a good bit more money. Big rock is the only one of those without a center diff and the wov is bigger, almost as fast, and seems like even over time, its durability should be similar. Parts ship from the US. The Omni is still great for the money, it’s just smaller than I hoped. I think I’m going for the wov. Whichever you decide, it helps us out if I can give you an affiliate link if you don’t mind. Feel free to ask more questions 👍
nice video
G'day mate, just thought id let you know, Im really enjoying your channel! 🤘
Awesome man, I appreciate you sharing that!! 🤘😃🤘🔥🔥
I think you have a future Super Bowl streaker in the making. 🙃 Rad review BTW! (You should do a raffle so you can recoup some 🍞 You are always throwing down on RCs)
lol you’re probably right!
Thanks!!
Raffle is now live!
Pretty cool, I really wish they would've made it a true 1/10 scale though, it would've been so much better imo, it's still a cool little truck though. and yeah you will tend to hit the brake when its coming right at your face 😂🤣
I agree! What’s funny is when they first sent me info about it, they said it would be a 1/13 scale (undersized). Then all of a sudden it was a small 1/10 lol. Just call it what it is, but yes still a good truck!
Haha, ya a truck with a metal chassis called the terminator, you do not want near your face! Lol
I’m back to give my honeymoon phase opinion of the carbon fiber version . I learned how to do a mesh right by feel and not paper and keep it squared and go around the whole wheel in case of intolerances . I must have had it cok eyed a little because that’s how it wore . I did it more than a few times too checking the two pinions . Hardly noticed a difference so leave it alone ! There s a turbo boost button on the side of the controller ch4 , it has its own spot in the reciever too ch4 , whatever button to hood when turning on and doing the gyro has a 30% increase to top speed , some new turbo thing nobody mentioned . It’s in the manual . And that extra little wire is to stick in the balance and back into the receiver box to get battery voltage . That’s all that’s been new around here and work and the rlaarlo 1/14 brushless truggy . I was going to get the 11/2 desert buggy . What do you think for $160 ? Something else ?
Thanks for that info!!
That desert buggy is pretty cool, but there may be better out there for that price. Did you already have an HBX 2997a?
Droop screws. Awesome adjustment. Are these common on a vehicle this size? Haven’t heard anyone adjust them with Rival MT10 or Reflex 14MT.
No they’re not very common on smaller cars. Especially not bashers. Usually on race buggies I feel like. 6s Arrmas have them. Probably 8s too.
AWESOME REVIEW! I'm new to the RC truck world (I fly RC planes) and I'm trying to figure out the best bang for my buck. Would you recommend the Rlaarlo over the ARRMA Granite or the Rival MT10??? Cost is important but I don't mind spending a bit more if the value is there. I appreciate your input on this huge, life changing decision LOL.
Thanks!!
It’s a great truck for sure, but I wouldn’t take it over the granite, though this one does have better handling. I’d also check my somewhat recent review on the Arrma Vorteks and I do have some videos on the Granite too if you wanted to try to compare yourself. You won’t make a bad decision with any of them! Hope this helps this dire decision you’re facing! 😃😆
@@DerbyCityRC THANKS for the quick response! You are my favorite RC truck reviewer. You definitely put them to the test LOL. I've asked a few other reviewers about the Rlaarlo. It just seems to have premium features for an amazing price. I am a little concerned about parts availability though.
@user-ow3rm5zw1p you’re welcome and thanks! Yes it’s made super well for the price. My biggest reasons for not choosing it over a granite would be that while parts are all available, it just takes longer to get them. Same with any China car though. The good news is they seem to have started adding parts to Amazon.
Also in stock form it’s slower than the granite and of course smaller. You could get the roller and put faster electronics in it, because with that center diff and adjustable suspension, it handles better than the granite does. The granite is probably easier to work on overall too!
Whatever you choose, it’s super helpful to us if you use a link I provide to you, but either way, I’m just super glad you like the channel! 😊
@@DerbyCityRC What is your opinion of the Big Rock? It's like a Granite with a more stable stance. I'll be playing with my RC truck at campgrounds so thick grass will be an issue. That makes me lean toward the larger Granite or Big Rock. Though I'm a newbie, I want to learn jumps and flips so durability is a must LOL. Thanks again for taking the time to answer my questions! BTW I think it is AWESOME that you totally include your kids in the hobby. You are definitely a COOL DAD!!! I'll stop pestering you after this message LOL. I promise LOL
@user-ow3rm5zw1p the big rock would probably be better for the thick grass due to the wider stance, but it won’t do air tricks quite as well because of the longer wheelbase. Did you see the video where I widened a granite and gave it a center differential?
Doing that, getting a granite, and after a while making it wider and possibly adding the center diff might be the best option. Wider stance like a big rock but still has the awesome flipping capability!
I was seconds away from pre ordering this today. After seeing the video, although it’s a cool truck, it’s too small for my liking. Maybe if it was a true 1/10 scale, or 1/8, I would have jumped on it. Oh, I’m down for a raffle though, lol
Ya definitely wish it was a 1/10. Stinks that it wasn’t. It is a great truck, but ya when you want large scale, you want large scale. lol
Super excited for the raffle!!
I am super interested in the raffle for the black hbx 🤩 my son loves the look of it!
Awesome! 👍😊 Raffle is now open!

@@DerbyCityRC haha wish me luck tho...my son is already talking about how he is gonna shred this thing 😆 I guess if we won't win it, I'll have to buy one...🤯
Good luck dude!
I’ll definitely have more raffles, but ya it’s good car worth having.
@@DerbyCityRC I am looking for 1:10 scale for me and before doing any quick moves with the omni terminator a wonder what MJX is going to deliver with the 10208. Have you heard about that one?
@aimbob115 I have not!! Holy smokes, I gotta look that up! Figured it was coming.
Everybody seems to forget the Talbot cure for body life extension. Drywall tape and shoe goo. My granite body has lasted a couple of years and it's my "go to" basher. The only damage is from sliding on the roof and wearing off the corners. Hello from Canada🤟🇨🇦 first time on the channel cuz I'm ordering one of these tomorrow and wanted to see if it was as good as it looked. I like your content. Cheers!
No haven’t forgotten. Just don’t want to do that for a review video as it wouldn’t accurately show the durability. Also would be tough to do that to even half the cars I have lol. Dude glad you like the channel and that you found it helpful!!
Thanks!! 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘
@@DerbyCityRC oh yeah I was just talking for personal rides. The industry will always get thinner and more breakable. i don't know about you but when bodies are between $60-$80 to replace im making them last. For both my wallet and the environment.🤣😂
Yup I agree!
Definitely a few I need to do that lol
@@DerbyCityRC I ordered mine yesterday. Another good bang for the buck new machine is from WOV. "The Tyrant" it's more expensive than the Terminator but pretty close when the regular price of $299 instead of $199
@sheiladavis2304 yup! I did the monster truck version of the tyrant in my last video before this one. Did you see that? It is definitely epic for the price, just like this one is epic for its price.
Thanks dude, been waiting on this one. It’s only shortlist, between, this, Corally buggy and now due to your video the WOV. I smash mostly first tracks and fire roads with my 9yr old. I don’t do massive air, love a controlled power slide. What should I be getting??? 😊
You’re welcome!
For a controlled power slide, the HNR Panther!! lol
I don’t have any of the Corallys, but my favorite from these is the WOV, mainly for the size and power. This little guy here will definitely get plenty of run time too. For you doing epic power slides, which both of those trucks do well at, and no big jumps, I would lower the suspension on this one. You shouldn’t be disappointed with either one.
I've seen the entry rug covering on your workbench in a few videos. How do you like it? I imagine you chose that material for low cost, reduction of scratches on workpieces, and because it looks like it might do a good job of "catching" small screws so they don't bounce off the bench and onto the floor. Does that work out to be true?
I screw around with 3D printers in my basement and a work surface that could catch screws could be really nice if it works.
It’s not bad. It does have some “rubbery” grip to it, but kinda hard to brush off. I usually vacuum it when it gets dirty because it holds dirt and debris. I kinda think I’d like diamond plate metal more, but this material is pretty good for the application.
