Review video of the race buggy shown early in the video: Rlaarlo / Croboll wicked FAST Buggy is AWESOME! - “Tweaky the Evil Bug”
• Rlaarlo / Croboll wick...
This Rlaarlo AM-D12 Desert Buggy spent the weekend proving itself to the Derby City RC worldwide audience!
After 3 long-run-time battery packs, some gnarly spills in a few different locations along some wicked jumps, only one thing really broke. Amazing speeds for a 2s battery and visible quality throughout!
Also it’s 3s capable!
#rlaarlo
Super fun review as always man! Small correction. This platform was created by LC Racing with the 1/14 scale emb-1 buggy which WLtoys cloned as the 144001. When I first got back into RC years ago my first car was a LC Racing emb-sct so I'm a big fan of their models to which I now own four of. All of them are high quality and all come with slipper clutches and sealed diffs. They also offer some of the models as kits which I love. They are more expansive though so I'm ultimately glad that WlToys and others have cheaper options so more people can enjoy the fun of RC.
Thanks!
Gotcha! Now this is bigger than the 144001, which I do have, however this 12xxxx is very similar, just larger lol. Did any of the WLs have slippers? I couldn’t find it in my research, but I’m just glad they’re using better materials than WL lol
@@DerbyCityRC I was super glad when this came out as I have been rocking a WLToys 124016 and it's fantastic for small jumps, running on dirt and gravel, etc but the durability is nothing like what we have with the Rlaarlo and the price jump isn't very significant right now while the Rlaarlo is at it's launch price. They're a sort of similar platform but I don't really think there are many parts that would interchange between the 124016 and the Rlaarlo. Despite the similar aesthetic, this seems to be a ground up creation pretty much.
Fantastic video and review man! You guys are killing it. I always get excited seeing a new video pop up!
Awesome man, glad you’re enjoying it!!!
I have this car... it's awesome really, I'm so glad I got it
Glad you like it!
Evan, I was excited when I heard you got one of these, and always excited to see your new uploads. I 100% agree with your thoughts on this buggy. It was also great to see you running this on different terrain!
Rlaarlo has definitely raised the bar. Would love to see a proper SC truck from them and a 1/10 MT as well. Hopefully it in their line up of things to come.!
Great job on this video! I love the special effect inserts. It looks awesome!
Thanks Robby!!
Yes a true 1/10 would be awesome! Maybe on an oversized HBX 2995 chassis! lol
We can dream!!
The best review on this RC to date, I ordered one off of their website for 159.99 instead of Amazon. This will be the first RC that i own that is smaller than 1/7 scale, i prefer larger RC's for the speed, but this thing's performance is awesome and you can't beat the price!
Thanks!!
Awesome! Yea man that sale is a great deal for sure!
Rlaaro 1/10 scale got cars hitting 200kmph can your 1/7 beat that?
"Just gave that bear a purple nurple, and it ran off." Lmao 😂
Haha! #whateverittakestosurvive 😅
"the ultimate form of birth control" is the one that got me lok
@publicprofilename4273 haha! And still a year later it’s true!! 😂
Quite possibly your finest creation so far! Very well done!
Thanks man!!!
Great job as always. The buggy looks nice and seems to perform quite nicely. It took some abuse down the gravel road. The best part of the video was your ramp mastery. Perfect landings.
Thanks! Yes this car was fun on the ramps, as most are!! 😀
Animation to the next level!kudos mate!
Thanks Greece!!!
Man I just love how you review RC Cars and Trucks it really does bring a smile to my face. Getting ready to buy a new one in the next week or so, I will let you know what it is once i have ordered it. It's a bigger RC, I will say that! God Bless my friend stay Safe and Cool. Drink lots of water.
I've got one and it's been pretty solid aside from being a little narrow. Took the tire off the rear and replaced it with a wing. Experimenting with different tires and suspension set-up in an effort to give it some better cornering stability. Rlaarlo kicks ass and they listen which is why they've become one of my favorites.
Awesome man! I love the look of the spare tire, but yes I can imagine it being an issue once I put 3s in there! Lol
Can you tell me the wing/spoiler you replaced the spare tire with? I'm one click away from ordering this dude and would like to do the same after watching other reviews.
@@rayterwilliger5852 I replaced the tire with the 1/12 scale Riaario buggy wing using the tire mount. Had to do some trimming/fitting and creativity to get it on but after bashing around it's still holding good.
Man, the kids and I have just got started into RCs, and I am loving your videos! I'm looking to upgrade from my $40 RC, and I was looking at the MJX14210, then the HBX 2997A, and now you've got me looking at this one! Any advice or recommendations for someone shopping in this price range, who will mostly be bashing in the yard with an occasional trip to a skate park?
Thanks!
If you could only have one...hbx 2996a or the rlaarlo? Great video as always
I would go for the rlaarlo for sure
Out of the box, the rlaarlo was more fun.
Give the 2996a or the 2995 some upgrades and then it’s a tough call lol
@@DerbyCityRChmmm…what upgrades would you do?
Bro. Bro! BRO! Love your output. It's been great to watch your videos evolve. Hope it blows up for you soon.
Thanks man! Really appreciate it!
Hey man love your content! Quick question if you could only pick one, the hbx 2996a or this rlarllo am-d12 which would you choose ?
I'm wondering the same!
Found the answer in the comments! are very near maybe 2996a a tad better
Ya I would choose the 2996a. A bit more stable and durable, but the rlaarlo may be a bit more fun due to its speed.
Ha ha, first time I've seen speed bumps on a dirt road... Yeah, the video did put a smile on my face, it's always great watching your stuff...
Looks like a cool buggy, definitely got some nice features, looks like a lot of fun!
Thanks man! Yes I was very happy to see those “speed bumps” when we got there lol
Love Desert Buggy’s! I will NEVER get rid of my Losi Tenacity DB Pro! Thing looks awesome. Suspension looks exceptional on the hard concrete landings. Please do a size comparison on the next video.
It's 150 bucks man, you better get one soon, the original MSPR is 239.00.
Looks like a great time with your family. Car looks awesome and once you endorse a car I put it in my rc purchase queue. Thanks as always bro. Excellent video
We had a blast! Thanks and glad I can help with your purchases! 🤣
special thanks to your channel after watching hours of reviews on this car. your videos are an awesome break for otherwise, sometimes boring reviews. your son(s?) are amazing as well. Can't wait to receive my rlaarlo. Also ordered some spare hinge pins, extra battery strap, and some retainer pins with hood catches off another model they have. They currently offer the car with an optional spiral cut diff gear + pinion on their website... did you get that too? i opted out since it seems like it's just one side. I'll order all the snazzy stuff at a later date.
Watched about 20 of your videos the last couple of months and only realised now i havent subbed. Well subbed. Damn entertaining videos😂! Something that i thought would take you to newer heights....new cameras with better stabilization and uploading in 4k 60fps. LEGEND LEVEL REACHED! Keep up the good work mate👍🏻💯
Thanks man!! Welcome officially now! Lol
I would absolutely love to upgrade my equipment. Better camera, editing computer and software.
Any tips? I don’t know what direction to take yet lol
@@DerbyCityRC personally, i use DJI action Cameras for my videos. I have 2 x Action 2 and 1 x Action 3 Cameras. Their stabilization are great and software easy to work with. I use a Sony ZV-1 for studio videos. But i would start with getting a action can with grest stabilization. I am planning to buy the new DJI Action 4 action camera next week. Its got a large sensor that works great for low light filming👍🏻
@techspac3 I did look at the DJIs so I’ll take another peak.
Thanks!
I literally just got this buggy for $8 at my local bin store and it was brand new!
Wow! That’s a heck of a deal!!
Being so narrow its a perfect canidate to extend the axles 20mm per side. For the diff some aluminum rings slide over wouldve helped avoid the break you saw. Take about 5 mins to turn 4 rings on pretty much any lathe before driving it hard. Would love to know how fast it is on a good 3s pack. Oh and great editing! Truely enjoy these videos for their genuine fun that doesn't feel forced.
53mph on 2800 3s
Thanks man!!!
I ended up stickin my power button on the lower portion of the pop open top - !! !! !! Because it was loose in shipping and I got my first 500 pre order metal parts too. Not a bad little Boogy Buggy
Nice, I like that idea!
Glad you were one of the first 500!
Been waiting for your take on it, now just waiting for them to ship mine out!
You'll be quite pleased, its a fun buggy
Just got mine love it
Hope it got you even more excited!
Nice set up for this car. Thanks for reviewing, awesome
Nice one bro🔥🔥🔥
Thanks!
@@DerbyCityRC 🤝🤝💯
Looks like a very good RC! I was impressed with this one! Great video!!!
Thanks Brad! It was certainly a good one!
Looks like a lot of fun, great video as always!
Awesome terrain. I finally found a dirt field! It has dirt rocks and stuff to climb. It's on Bardstown road too
Awesome! I’ll send you an email!
@@DerbyCityRC sounds good man
OK Rlaarlo! We see you!
Still one question that I haven't found the answer to: is that thing on 10th scale sct wheels?
If so, I think that adds to its potential cause the market is flooded with sct parts.
Definitely gotta get one of these little Lasernuts 😆
Awsome video like always I have the 1/12 buggy from them I like it was thinking about one these might just try convert my buggy with cage have great day
Awesome!! Thanks!
Another top draw review of a smaller scale RC car. The diff cup breakage can be forgiven in my opinion as I doubt this rig is really made for front flips onto concrete. But Id expect you to do it in the name of testing the durability.
Thanks for a great review bro 😂😊
Thanks!
Exactly! A lawn chair may hold a 400 pound gorilla, but it’s definitely getting squashed by Godzilla!
Breakage doesn’t always mean weak on this channel 🤣 I do try to convey that usually lol
@@DerbyCityRC You weren't critical at all about the breakage bro. That's why your channel is a good one, your reviews are honest and balanced.
@TheflyingkiwiRC thanks! I felt duped into buying my first big RC purchase (JLB Cheetah) and don’t want to do that to anyone so I do the reviews how I’d like to see them. Out of all of the RCs I’ve got, the cheetah is the junkiest by far lol
On a completely different note…
Wanna buy a JLB Cheetah roller? 😜🤣🤣
Looks like Rlaarlo has a winner of a RC car here. I wonder what's the stock pinion size
Mad Max kicked ant man's butt🦾 I'm impressed with this one- and that's only on 2s!! Rampy-jumpy time kicked howdy doody's butt !! Great video‼️👍👍🦾🦾🤘🤘
He sure did! Thanks man this was a fun one for sure!
How would you say it stacks up against the hbx2995? Hoping this release sends the price on those down... might grab another and go straighy to brushless upgrade.
I think over time the 2995/2996a will be more durable.
Likely easier to get parts for this buggy since it’s WL toys based. Though I would try to order from rlaarlo as I think they use higher quality materials than WL.
Overall, my upgraded 2995 costs more but might be more fun as well. It’s a tough call honestly!
Great! But this or the new MJX?
Thanks!
Maaaaaaaaan that’s a tough question. Lol
I just finished filming the new 14209 yesterday and it was pretty dang sweet. Seriously both awesome and my best advice is check out this 14209 video when I get it done. I’m going as quick as I can. They’re different types of trucks, but similar levels of awesomeness!
@@DerbyCityRC oh no that's the worst answer haha
The 14209 body looks kinda fragile though...
Lol! Sorry.
Actually the body is rather beefy!
It has a roll cage on the inside of it.
Wats up dude, i got a question for you.
I just picked up one of these buggies. The gear mesh and the front diff sounds and feels absolutely terrible right out of the box. I can hear and feel it just rolling by hand.
Did yours sound and feel good when you got it?
Dang that stinks. No I didn’t have issues with it. If it’s not an easy fix, I would contact rlaarlo or the seller, they have good customer service.
What an awesome Ripper
Honestly thinking of grabbing one of these rc , if you like it it must be good 😂👌
Ya I definitely like this one. Not as durable as an hbx, but still pretty darn good and performs awesome!
Dude I wish you would do a review of the hyper go 16207 . I just got one and I love it so much and would love to see a video of you bashing it around it’s an amazing rc car for such a low budget . Guarantee you will have a blast , and it come with 3s ! 40 mph for a budget rc
I’ve done quite a few HyperGos, including the 16208. I know it’s not the little buggy but it’s close lol.
Have you seen all my HyperGo vids?
I think the 14209 is my favorite HG so far. Still waiting on the 14210
This video is F epic!!! Rlaarlo nailed this one!!!
Thanks!
Yes they did!
cool rc and awesome review
Can't wait to see you do the new mjx 14210 seen someone get 50mph with 3s battery
Been waiting on that car for a good 2 months lol.
It will show up eventually lol
In the meantime, my 14209 vid is next 👍
@DerbyCityRC the 14209 is okay from what I see.. I'm just not a huge fan of the body of that one. But I'll be watching your video on it to see how durable it is. Also be waiting to see once that video on the 14210 comes as well
I wasn’t a fan of the body either, but it grew on me a little bit. Comes with a set of bigger tires in the box as well and looks better with those too in my opinion.
This or the MJX 14209?
wondering this too!
search in the comments many answer about this versus HBS models, I found them now
Pretty cool for a medium sized car 😎
Awesome video! Thanks.
Thanks!
Wow thats fast!💪🏼 Can i use and and transfer my mjx 14301 parts to make the hbx 2996a 3S version and put the hbx 2996a parts to make the mjx 14301 2s? 😅😅 if its possible i will do it✌️❤️🔥
Any chance of a video when you repair the cup, recently got one and broke the front cup myself. Can't figure out how to order that part as it's not listed on their website.
Not sure what or when the next video on this one will be, but I did find the full differential on this site: rlaarlo.com/?ref=ml6gV9o7
The only one listed for 1/12 scale I saw.
That’s what I got for a replacement. Use just the cup and keep the rest for parts, or go ahead and replace the whole thing and keep the old one for parts. 😃
The video Rocks and the rc were do you get the new tires
Thanks! They hVe them on the website here under the RC parts tab
rlaarlo.com/?ref=ml6gV9o7
Hi do you no what program card can be used on this ? because on mine the brakes are way to strong out the box for me 😂 really like this RC it’s mint 👌👍🏻
Unfortunately I don’t know 🤣 I really liked the brakes 😆
Great review 👍👍👍
Which 3S battery range do you recommend? Will this decrease the life of the ESC?
Do you need an adapter for the 3s battery? What kind of 3s battery would recommend for this model?
LC racing thought of that you mean? 😅 Wltoys is a clone of LC racing's 1/14 design. If you want a quality wltoys check out LC, much better quality all the way around. Love the channel, keep up the good work man.
Ya this is a year old video and I’m pretty sure I knew that at the time but didn’t think about it since I’ve never had an LC, which is lame, I know! 😂 Thanks dude!!
Nice little car
Nice video. With a 3s and upgraded to 27t pinion which is on their website gets 65 mph on a speed run. Lol.
Geeeez lol I definitely believe it, these things are packing power!
HBX901A or HBX 2996A or Rlaarlo Am-D12 or WLToys 124016 V2?
I’d say least favorite to favorite would be the WL toys (but I don’t have that model), 901a, amd12, 2996a, and now the new hbx 2997a, which I will have a video out on in the next couple days. Here’s a link to it if you’re curious: amzn.to/49SZiwQ
Great video yet again! I really like this one as I'm partial to these type of buggies, having the DB Pro and the Super Rock Rey. And the bear. I mean movie studio quality special effects. You get yourself a green screen?
Thanks man! I considered a green screen but the InShot app does a good job without one. Though I really need to upgrade to a good editing computer and software!
@@DerbyCityRC I used Davinci Resolve because it's free and powerful. I get myself dazed and confused in it though. I'm editing on a laptop and it is SLOW and not enough screen real estate.
Is it slow cuz the computer is slow or the program? What computer do you have?
@@DerbyCityRC I have a Lenovo Yoga laptop: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1185G7 @ 3.00GHz with 16 GB of RAM. I think for editing you should have at least 32 GB of RAM. That I think is the biggest problem. And as big a monitor as you can afford or fit on your desk. On my 14" laptop screen, the timeline and other whatsits take up 80% of the screen, so the video I'm working on is tiny.
@QuinnsRC good to know, I appreciate the insight. Definitely need to do something soon, as recording and editing on my phone is getting difficult lol
I'm looking at getting the AK917 and going for the 100mph club. A gear swap and 4S is all it needs. And skill. Nice buggy Rlaarlo!
Who makes the AK917? I'd be delighted to also hit the 100 mph club😎. Thank you!
Nice! I Havent gotten one yet but maybe one day!
It’s also Rlaarlo!
Here’s the link to the website: rlaarlo.com/?ref=ml6gV9o7
@@DerbyCityRC Thank you so much! After 2 months of my newly discovered addiction I may b adding a 4th RC to my lineup... lol
@@DerbyCityRC I just discovered the crawling world and might skip over the speed run stuff lol
No scratches means no fun plus i liked the video from the intro to the end of the video.
Exactly!
Thanks!!
Your video kills me 😂😂😂
Haha! Thanks
Thinking of getting it then gonna go upgraded brushless
It’s already brushless lol. But hey never bad to get more power!
Did you do a review on the croboll buggy... Amazon
Yes I did
@@DerbyCityRC had my eye on that one for awhile now.
My favorite buggy for sure!
Gained a sub, man
Good content!
Thanks man!!
Woop
Haha!
Could I get a HPI TF50 controller and put the TF50 receiver in this?
I put a xfg dumbo reciever in it got gyro with it felt squirly before but should be good now
Sweet!
@DerbyCityRC have you experienced any cogging or delay with the esc or anything?.
It’s been a while since I’ve driven this one, but I don’t recall this issue. Is it doing it in grass or also on concrete?
@@DerbyCityRC I was just curious because I want to get one
Oh ok! Definitely a fun truck. I do remember that lol
The metal is made out of glass 😅. Already broke a front axle and front diff output cup. Don't know how the one I video is holding up when I haven't even been on road yet and broke it in grass and dirt
Ya that’s not my experience, so I don’t know. I wouldn’t deem it as the most durable cheapish car, HBX has that spot claimed for now, but this was a decent RC I’m rather happy with.
Gyro? Looks like the Dumbo X6FG remote/receiver
It is a dumbo, but I don’t recall this having a gyro.
awesome intro. have you seen action movie kid videos? his dad works in the sfx industry
Thanks!
I haven’t. Just a channel called “action movie kids”?
I’ll check it out!
@@DerbyCityRC yep, viral videos from 2014, still hold their own
@shadyhazza sweet!
Can you recommend a wheel spacer kit? I think it’s also known as a hex wheel extension kit? These axles do not have axle pins and the kits online are incompatible with this car.
Unfortunately I haven’t looked into one for these axles yet. Let me know if you find one!
Oh I like that buggy, oh yes,😁😉,nice family, bro, honey I shrunk our son😱, lol🤣🤣
Thinking in grabbing this as first RV and old rounder for the good price and seems to be pretty solid? Or should I spend more money and go for something like an Arma typhon 3S? I feel like the bigger size makes it better to use everywhere? Or is this 1/12 big enough
This car is great, but something about a larger car is still better in a lot of situations. I always recommend having both as these are cheaper to repair usually lol
Question, were can I buy better high c batterys that will fit I have the brushless truggy version
Does the slipper clutch have to be adjusted
What a great car. Wondering how it would run on a 3S. Did you order a replacement part?
I agree. Yes new part is on the way and I’ll certainly do some stuff on 3s!
@DerbyCityRC forgot to mention I just bought one after i commented last night.. they need to give you some royalties 😆
@fearless3geclipse nice!
If you used the link I provided then I will 😜 😃😂
I have a problem with an annoying sound in the servo Team Associated m10 Please find a solution
If the noise is in the servo, replace it with a better unit 👍
Think I could put the electronics from this on my HBX 2995? The rlaarlo frame keeps getting bent and I've been looking to do a brushless upgrade to the 2995.
looks like a no. different motor size.
Ya motor size is different b it not would probably still fit. I have a feeling it would be underpowered though. Did you see my recent brushless upgrade video on my 2997a? 2995 would be the exact same process.
I'll check it out, thanks!
You’re welcome!!
Nice
Your son is so cool bro 💯💯😎😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That is a cool buggy RLAARLO A-12 put a smile on your face 💯💯😁😁😂🤣😂🤣👍👍💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Haha, thanks yes he is!
Absolutely!
I heard it's slower than advertized
Thats the truth of many RC cars advertised speed. I did a speed test on this hideous I believe. Dont remember what it got.
Wltoys 124016 Brushless V2 Buggy or HBX 2995 buggy or the Rlaario?
I almost never recommend WLToys. Horrible grade of plastic in my experience. While this is based off WL toys, they seem to have used better materials. I’d go with the hbx 2995 for the durability, and the rlaarlo for performance. Or could go with the hbx 2996a or 2997a for the best of both worlds and a similar price. I’ve got videos on both.
@@DerbyCityRC thx for the reply
and vids..!!
Do a video on how to jump rc cars... I can but not like that ;)
I do have this one on front flips. Definitely more like this eventually.
Hopefully that’s helpful!
ruclips.net/user/shortsd2DopEG-nZw?si=cag-XQRVu0Sqs842
Awesome!!thanks😊
The link to this RC doesn't seem to work.
That’s weird. It works here.
The second link is for the whole website so you could search the model name if that one works. I also linked it on Amazon.
Theyre lc racing coppies not wltoys wltoys 14th and 12th scale are also lc racing copies but these guys did it right like lc racing n use slipper clutch
I know that and I always forget to say this!
Thanks. Yes WL toys copied and uses cheap plastics and no slipper!

how could you fix the sideways flipping?
Wheel hex extensions, but they might be hard to find as these axles are thinner than most.
Also could use the included droop screws to lower the ride height.
😂😂❤❤❤
🤣🤣
Que sabes del Omni terminator de rlaarlo?
That it looks cool as heck and there is one on the way to my house (supposedly).
Genial, como lo compraste, no puedo
They’re sending it to me to review. Not sure what the actual release date is.
It does look super promising!
@@DerbyCityRC gracias
Estoy por comprar el Rival MT10, crees que deba esperar a ver el Terminator rlaarlo o no crees que sea mejor?
💭🤔Great truck, but it doesn’t reverse well at all
Does it? I can’t recall its reversibility.
optional sway bar on the wltoys 124 models
how do u not have the 124008 buggy yet? all the youtubers raving about it.
its an improved platform, but still a lot of the issues you show here
Thanks for the info!
Mainly cuz that one looks like another HyperGo chassis and I got bored with that platform. I’ll probably end up with it eventually though lol.
@@DerbyCityRC all the hypergo's are 1/16 tho, except for that new 1/14th scale. the buggies are longer wheel base at 1/12 scale, and i think 124008 is about the 4th version. hopefully everyone that was using the 1/12 scale wltoys platform moves over to it soon
@shadyhazza ya that’s true. Pretty happy with the 1/14 hypergos so far too. I’m just glad to see things keep evolving!
@@DerbyCityRC oh yeah and that plastic honeycomb chassis look is very similar to traxxas. but really its just new design techniques
and so much cheaper - new xmax chassis $20 vs old metal $100
@@DerbyCityRC i'm glad wltoys are keeping a lot of the parts the same, makes upgrading easy. check out the k2 truggy shell for the 1/12 scale models. and the 1/16 monster truck tires work so nice on it (so do the cheap paddle tires)
Too many options for too little bank account.
I hear ya! Definitely can get by without so many lol
Rlaaarlo slipper clutch are weak
Ya slippers are definitely a weak point on many cars. I haven’t had an issue on this one yet, but center differentials are much better!
