I use GNB 3000mAh 120C LiHV charged to standard voltage (ESC will not take high voltage). They fit the Terminator and XTS F10 and still take 3000mAh when charged to 12.6V. Great punch and lifespan
@cyrusshellard3905 I would if I knew of one, pal. The higher discharge packs tend to have a bigger footprint, which is the challenge on this chassis. Honestly, the stock battery gets the car moving very fast, and provides a good run time. I'm very happy with them. 👍🏻
Some food for thought there Fil! I actually like the look of the Lancia body with the wheels poking out! It will be cool to see what some of our friends do with this chassis. If mine ever comes I will be tempted to squeeze a Tamiya body on it if I can! Cheers Bro! 🍻😎👍
Haha! There he is! Or wait, here I am! Lol! You're gonna love this platform, Mark. It's like nothing else you've driven before, I assure you. It just wants to GO!!! Have an excellent weekend, my friend!
Good question! I don't know, to be honest. I suppose you could just plug one in and try. Thing is, you'd have to modify the battery tray to accommodate it, and even then it might not fit. Space is limited on this chassis.
Absolutely! I ran mine in the wet and in wet dirt on several occasions. Hosed it off when done and air dried it, lubed up the bearings again and went back at it. 👍🏻
Canada post just went on strike!!!! Er, I mean, yes the Lancia does look wicked cool on there, wide in back, is nice, only narrow up the front would be good. I wonder what other choices are out there...
Rlaarlo has a 190mm conversion kit on their website now with aluminum arms. Problem is, it nearly costs half the price of the roller. Looks like they realized that making the car so wide would discourage some buyers and made an expensive band aid for it...
It’s good to go the way it is . Bigger batteries means heavier . Heck , I run a 4000mah 6s yowoo with a max6 1650kv for 20 minutes . I get about 15-20 with this rlaarlo battery on the CF Omni is probably a better RC for bashing imo . This one is a street ripper . Isn’t all kinds of debris getting in there out in the sticks and gravel ? Yep you just said in the vid about the heavier weight , lol . My dude 👍
There's an official kit to convert the width to 190mm - shorter A-arms, CVD's/dogbones, etc. But you will still have the problem with the high shock towers I guess.
Great video Fil, loving the energy! I've watched quite a few videos on this car over the weekend, and the hype is real!! I'm strictly a Tamiya and kyosho guy..... but I'm not guna lie, your definitely selling it mate!! Got me thinking about potential Group B bodies that may fit now! I can only get myself one car for Christmas, and I had my heart set on the Super Astute, but wondering if this may be a lot more fun! You and Gavin are a bad influence! 😂👍 👍
never ever lie to a woman about the "length and width"..give them some time, they will find out the "hard" way..hahaha! informative information for those that have or are receiving this car. however, not in my budget at the moment, but maybe one day. cheers! have a pint and see you in the next vid!
please read ! the car may be great, but rlaarlo as a company is horrible, from communication, shipping and support they are a 5% in my opinion, I have bought 2 of there rcs and both orders took for ever to arrive, and were complete nightmares. I would not recommend buying a rlaarlo untill local hobby stores sell them.
Sorry to hear you've had a bad experience with them. I know they're growing fast, and customer support is very important as part of their growth strategy.
Awesome review 💯 I'm with you with the battery 🙂
I like the conversion kit from Rlaarlo, so it fits to all 190mm bodies 🤩👍
Thanks for watching! Merry Christmas! 🎄

Can you please recommend a high discharge rate big MAH 3s pack which is the same dimensions as the stock battery mate?
@cyrusshellard3905 I would if I knew of one, pal. The higher discharge packs tend to have a bigger footprint, which is the challenge on this chassis. Honestly, the stock battery gets the car moving very fast, and provides a good run time. I'm very happy with them. 👍🏻
Nice and useful improvements and thoughts Fil👍
Thanks, Dirk. I figured I'd do my best to help people out who are looking for answers. :)
Thanks, what is the "Body Conversion Kits For XTS-F10 RC Rally Car"（RZ079） for on the rlaarlo website?
That will narrow down the track width to accommodate a wider range of RC rally car bodies. 👍🏻
Its on my list for next year for sure

Does the esc even allow for NIMH batteries?
Good question! I don't know, to be honest. I suppose you could just plug one in and try. Thing is, you'd have to modify the battery tray to accommodate it, and even then it might not fit. Space is limited on this chassis.
Thats a kit that screams out for shorty packs. Great video buddy.
100%! If I had one on hand I would've tried to fit it. Plenty of options there, though! 👌
Would you say it’s waterproof? As in can use in the wet
Absolutely! I ran mine in the wet and in wet dirt on several occasions. Hosed it off when done and air dried it, lubed up the bearings again and went back at it. 👍🏻
I've seen one get jet washed and then run
Looks like you will also need different shocks and shock towers to make those bodies fit.
100%! 👍🏻
but HOW do we move the speed controller?
I have a HPI Toyota Corolla body for a rs4 rally with Castrol decals. Hopefully it will fit the Realto.
Thats a great body! 🤩
Nice work Fil! Thanks for checking out that NIMH pack for me brother 🙌🏻 Question now remains… do I or don’t I 😁
Haha, the million dollar question! I'll tell ya, this little machine moves like nothing else I've ever seen. I think you'd love it. 😊

Strike just before Christmas. Lovely! 🤦♂️

Thanks for the solution! I knew someone out there would know more than I do! 😊
I plan on making a widebody rally version of the Toyota GT86 with mine 🤣
That would be killer! 🤩
FIRST!!!! :P
Beat me!!!!

Too much weight = no Bueno! 😉

Yeah, i just found out about that last night on their live stream. That'll help a ton. 👍🏻
Why is there 2 reciever boxes?
In case you choose to reconfigure the chassis with different batteries. 👍🏻
Great video Fil, loving the energy!

@@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC hahaha, blame Gavin, not me! He sent his! Lol!
Dude, this car is stellar. 9/10 excellent. You'd love it! 😁
Second 😢
Mark's on fire!
Lol, 2 or 3s shorty pac, tt02 body
TT02 doesn't fit. You'd need to shorten the a-arms to get a good fit. Rlaarlo sells a kit.
