Throttle pulse reminds me of the late great F1 driver Ayrton Senna's unusual driving style using a pulse or feathering throttle technique of up to several times per second I believe, for traction control, nobody knew he was doing that until a team member keyed in on subtle sound difference, so they wired Senna up for some data and a graph of his pedal action, very unusual and innovative driving style.
Legendary Smash! Im starting to wonder if Rlaarlo did this speed challenge to sell spare parts ! LOL! I just got my carbon brushless and its beautiful. Every car i've run over 80mph has destroyed lipos, arms, chassis, turnbuckles, you name it. There is no "durable" car that can withstand an impact that you demonstrated. people who blame the car have never speed run, this is just a normal weekend a speed runner.
Great video!I purchased a Rlaarlo buggy when they first came out and was pleasantly surprised in the quality and fun factor of Rlaarlo. Customer support is very good as well.
I think the servo may be the issue (twitching at low speeds) i dont think its returning properly/ very accurate, until its forced to at higher speeds. Ill be trying a new servo soon and hopefully that fixes the issue, because when i got mine straight, it held really well!
Have you checked the diffs? I've found diffs that are too open really aren't ideal when trying to put power down, they usually open up and spin one wheel way faster which just makes the car really unstable.
Between the information you put into the video, your slow motion, you're voice over and driving skill. I just wanted you to let you know that I really appreciate all the effort and information....
Does anyone know a good rc buggy kit ( scale around 1:12 or 1:10)? I already have esc brshless motor from another rc car but I would like to build a buggy
LC Racing has buggies in kit form in 1/14, 1/12, and 1/10 scale. I have a couple of their cars and they are some of my favorites. They also have a 1/14 scale truggy and a 1/10 scale rally car in a kit as well.
I think youll find senna was the master of the "blip for grip" technique 🤣 in all seriousnes though, if you havnt seen it, thats how senna kept grip in the corner exits
Pretty cool looking car! I do have one small question though; why do you keep the spare wheel on the car during runs? it's just extra weight, isn't it? cheers and keep up the good work!
extra weight can most of the time be good in a top speed run as aero is more of a factor then more mass in the car to make the suspension work rather then the car bouncing on the springs and it gives a initial downwards force making the tyres gripp that gains as downforce start to work. look att a bugatti veyron heavy car it seems compared to an ariel atom that is light for turns and acceleration but the bugatti is more for top speed and at 400km/h aerodynamic drag is a major factor more then what more mass does to initial acceleration in the start of the runn.
Question - where what number do I plug the lights into my headlights are not working also my body fan does not come on at what point does it run, all the time or when hot?
Very normal damages after this high speed crash, none should complain. It's very beautiful, i like that has lights, and i like that it look like a 70's LeMans car. Also it's fast just need tuning for the guys that know how to do this, and generally is a nice model. For me is one of the most cool looking rc cars.
Love mine, it’s not the speed run version. I have the AM-X12 with the carbon effect carry case it’s a great looking car and seems well made, only issue I have is when you attach the wing to the car it won’t fit back in the case without squishing it in
Use a spider phone mount on top of your remote so you can use two hands and still drive. It helps alot. And you can pull it off and throw it on the ground and get some good shots there too
That was pretty good. I like these cars. It took that crash quite well. There used to be curbs just like that out the front of my place, they were great for destroying cars I'd lost control of. People often don't realise how bad a right angle curb like that can be on an RC car. Great vid as always.
Have you considered extending the floor forward ahead of the body and bumper to create a air splitter? This will reduce the air flow under the car. Reducing that flow will reduce air pressure under the car. That will improve down force, grip and stability.
Well, that crash looks *very familiar* mate. And the same front right wheel hub that I broke twice. 😂 And my receiver also pulled out exactly the same... Hmmm.. Good luck with the speed run buddy. Talk later. EDIT: Just noticed the speed was the same as mine. Becomes unstable at 70 mph, 121 kph... Wow.
My aarma vendetta will do 70mph out of the box with the included high speed pinion gear on 3s. I actually got 72mph out of it one morning. No aero problems drives straight and is super tough. I got it on a sale for 199 usd. Hard to beat that.
I was so stoked about this rc. After dealing with the delays in shipping, as of 3 May, I have cancelled 660.00 in orders from rlaarlo. How Rlaarlo handled it all leaves me wonderibg just what they were thinking. Those who have it, goid luck with it. Hooe you can get spares for it, Tomley.
@@EdisonRCWorkshop what's changed? Rlaaro charged me $9.99 for shipping and 2 months later asks for more shipping fees after the bill has already been processed. In rlaarlo's email link in description it doesn't even explain how to pay the additional fees. You first have to email rlaarlo in order to get an explanation how to pay the fee. Nowhere in their link doesn't say to push the link button 25 times in order to pay the additional fee.
Brilliant Mate, if I knew how to exchange pics correctly. I'd show you what the collection of RC ,You and Kev would be... dare I say jealous... Lol. Cheers Tomley 🍻. Nice run... Troy 😎
Just remember: 60 mph at 1/10th scale is like a full sized car hitting a brick wall at SIX HUNDRED MPH. (I know I know, force x mass = N and all that but still.....)
Still waiting for mine, ordered and paid for the day you put your first review video up….. I was in the first 500 so I “should” have it by now…. Oh to be a RUclipsr!
Thanks for the test. And seeing how much efforts, material and money Raz Shifrin puts into his projects, I highly doubted that a mass produced car would reach that announced speed. It's a nice model with many details and functions, and that should it be. I drove often over 120 mph over the Autobahn and I can assure you it's more stress than fun, even in an E-class. So in my mind a model hasn't to be so fast.
My rtr carbon and rtr metal versions came in the mail today. And of course we have had nothing but rain and high wind the last few days. My fortnightly rc car club meet is in 3 days. Hope to put it round the track and see how it goes. I might put my dumborc with gyro in it just to help.
Ouch! Just got mine yesterday. Still waiting for a bunch of upgrades. V E R Y “touchy” screws!!! Stripped one right off the bat. Spent 1/2 hour removing it without marring the carbon fiber chassis. Time will tell what it will be able to do.
Wow !!! That's a nice car . The road you was on was not good for speed runs . "Too bumpy" it's good they sent spare parts . I would of been disappointed. Great production editing. Please don't kill the cars and trucks. We know they are durable at lower speeds ..
Nice video, as always. Dont think I'm buying this car. Something makes me think this is a budget XO-1. Probably gonna keep saving for a Arrma Limitless.
Nice runs! I think to run this very small, light car straight at speed there’s going to have to be some really meticulous suspension/chassis setup. Shock limiters for sure, looks like heavier springs as well. Is there any way to get rid of the excessive toe-in in the rear? Different pills, maybe? Thanks for the great vids, man! I don’t know when my AK917 will finally show up, but I’m really looking forward to it.
🙋🏻♂️ Hello there Phil Ooh 😮 shit... hahaha 🤭 are you crying there for a 🤏🏽 moment Phil? 😉 A lot of emotions came across on this road in your rc live for us 😀 and like always 💁🏻♂️ thank you Phil!!! for everything you do for us all ✊🏽
Very impressive and it's nice to see spare parts included. I wanted to support my local hobby shop and they were just eager to get my money and get me out the door. Once I needed a $2 part after the first run, customer service from the manufacturer basically directed me to a complete $20 shock assembly or a warranty claim. Not cool. Looking at you.. Losi. 👀
I've always been open on Chinese manufacturers speed claims being way over the top, it's old news now I think. The Bandit story was more about not even providing the correct gearing... and requiring you to get an aftermarket pinion.. and that's its Traxxas.... the fastest name in radio control :)
Got off easy bro that could have been so much worse lol good to see it back together 🤷♂️ how’s the servo saver is it adjustable when everyone was having problems with the 1603 I ended up stuffing washers in the servo saver and that made so much of a difference & took the toe-in out of the rear by just heating up the hub & twisting it straight & couldn’t believe how much better it handled up to 65 then it would just take off like a ✈️ 😂😂😂good luck I want to get into this car so bad man it just looks like it should go over 200 lol
I cannot understand how many people into RC cars do not do a little homework and realize they basically function mechanically like their full size counter parts. Use a ruler or a tape.. You can then guarantee that your settings are equal side to side as well as corner to corner. That alone will tighten up handling characteristics. Toe in rear slightly for more forward bite. Front start slightly out, you will find more control if it does start to wave around... Look up what kind of specs full size cars are using for the application and go from there....
I ordered mine back in early March and still have not received it, 26 days ago I received an email from Rlaarlo that it's been shipped but the tracking number still shows waiting to be picked up by the carrier, I've contacted Rlaarlo twice and have got no response, has anyone else have this problem?
Thanks to your earlier videos on this car. I did get one at the lower price. I only got the basic version, because I was not familiar with this company. I already got my car. I have not yet set it up or driven it yet. Thoughts?
That's the problem with 1/10 speed cars. My Xray TC is theoretically as fast with my 4.5T 3S setup but it it just too light and the footprint is too small to be controllable

Use a spider phone mount on top of your remote so you can use two hands and still drive. It helps alot. And you can pull it off and throw it on the ground and get some good shots there too
You can't get the low down shots I get without driving 1 handed. I use a mount for the remote for the normal running footage

Doesn't take but a slight movement in steering to crash at that speed , Great Run, I really like Rlaarlo products!!!

Hey I’ve been doing the pulse then full throttle since I started 😂 I’m glad you did it too it sounds a bit annoying but it works
