I haven't bought an RC car in a while. This one made me order. It's my favorite real world car and with the improvements, the 1/10 should be really fun.
I'm in the same boat! I haven't bought an rc anything for 15 years when 8 was in high school. I'm very excited. I bought the White, but after seeing the green/orange in videos, I wish I got that one.
I also don't quite understand the dual motor setup in this car when it is EASY to simply install a larger motor using the sliding motor mount from Rlaarlo. You do need to flip the motor portion and tap the mounting holes clear through the other side of the mount, but that isn't all that hard. I've got a Castle 1512 1800kv motor currently in my AK917 and at 6S it is utterly mental.
@@TRAVELER197 I've got foam tires and have tried them out with another motor. But right no, I am not fast enough to blow the doors off these tires. I need some much more aggressive gearing to go really fast.
Wing will do something but not on 41mph 😊.. I see that it handeles great, WAY better than my Ak917 carbon.. Ak917 is great with dumboRC gyro that I have installed.. I Will order this one for sure
Even with the little gurney flaps at the AK 917 I noticed a difference in down force grip handling. It suprised me a lot. With correct tire and diff setup I like it driving on race track, no need for a gyro :)
Hello, I am a newbie! I have a question. I see the dual motor version have several options for us to choose. The differences are the motor. I see that large motor with low KV will be more expensive. I know lower KV means slower, why slower more expensive? And could you teach me how to choose from these option, thanks 🙏🙏🙏
I ordered one and again thank you for providing an honest review. Im really interested to see what people are going to do with this RC's dual motor or like you said bigger KV motor setup. Also, all fans of Gran Turismo know what this car means, i ordered the LeMans colors, it may just sit on the shelf, there are diecast models of this vehicle that cost more than this 50MPH RC lol.
It is 200.00 USD for a scale 50 MPH 1/10/ scale road car with several options. I can list at least 50 plastic cheap road cars that aren't nearly as fast and cost 300.00 dollars or more lol. It appears you should be spending your residual income more wisely, hobbying is expensive lol. Budgetbashing= 1/14, 1/16, 1/18, 1/24 and used junk off of Facebook marketplace.
I used to drive my old Bolink and Associated cars faster than that. They were simple pan cars, but they were fast. I used a nicad battery and a 27 turn brushed motor. Think about that. Today RJ speed makes something like the Bolink pan car. It is very simple and also not expensive. I did build and run the RJ speed car. I bought a cheap Amazon brushless motor and a gyro. It was very fast and easy to control. It was not 4wd. Again a simple car. The kit is really cheap too. The RJ speed car I bought even came with a body. I made it look like a NASCAR Miller beer car. The paint job was super easy to do. Just mask it off, find the decals and that is it. I no longer have the car. I sold it on eBay for a tidy profit. Thoughts?
Lol your running it like your afraid scratch it your a Crawler Drifter Dude not Speed Runner leave that for the professionals. Your review Not Accurate or Valid Pops
So the wing was useless. The build is different, but just another 3s possible drift car. I don't think this would handle well on any track. This doesn't come close to any track car, as far as all of the reviews I have seen. No one has taken it to any track to prove it's worthiness. You all keep it in open areas as to not to embarrass the company. i think it is not worth the 3D machine it was printed with, probably less than the filament. I would not waste my time or funds on this china made junk. This is almost as worse as the bad mistake Arrma made in trying to sell that Vendetta. Oh what a piece of junk. Arrma almost lost all my purchases trying to sell it as a speed run car. It's beginning to sound like an iphone. When is the 3 available? Right before christmas, and a week before christmas the 4 will be available?
This is not track car.. If you prefer track cars, it Does not mean that the ones that are not for track are junk.. I could say that all track cars are crap because you cant run them any where else then on the track 😊 But I wont say that.. Because this hobby has so many different branches and every single one of them has great stuff in them..I can see that you never had any rlaarlo car in hand, if you did, you would not say that it's china crap for sure.. So my friend, if something is not your cup of tea it Does not mean it is crap 😉

I can tell you used to play grand tourismo

@@dukaschmichmol863yep, same. This is my first RC anything in 15 years and I loved Gran Turismo 3.
Nice car. Loving all the new cars coming out. Looks like fun with wing down actually!

Nice! Are you running foam tires?

Maybe an oversized wing mod. Nice to see the real time proof that a scale wing matters!

Cool stuff! It looks alittle like my 1991 tamiya jaguar xjr 12..
Can you ride it on a race track to?, or is the car only for speed?.
That wing would be great on a mix in the radio.
Are you going to review the new Jconcept Megalithic tires?
If they ever do modern based bodies. The McLaren P1 would be a great contender.
Most definitely.
Loads of people posting videos about the ak 787 and not stating is it the carbon or metal version, also are both 4s compatible
These are definitely cool. They are a bit overpriced, but cool. I think the dual motor feature is gonna be the ticket to speed on these

if you look at tomney rc he has 1 and adapts the wing for more angle
i see no video on the mad bull :(

I just now realized they put "Status" on the side and good because they couldn't use "Renown" like the actual car because of licensing.
nice!
2nd?

I like both my vendettas. Same car as 3s infraction fyi. One of mine hits triple digits. Great to work on, and I really like running them.
What kind of cars do you mean by track cars?
This is not track car.. If you prefer track cars, it Does not mean that the ones that are not for track are junk.. I could say that all track cars are crap because you cant run them any where else then on the track 😊

Start your own RC company since you're an expert .
what 3d filament, its not 3d printed? Its less than the cost of a tamiya tt02 kitbuild,which it would blow into the weeds.
