    The HBX looks great but the RLAARLO is just next level design and quality. They killed it with this truck. I'm an Arrma and Traxxas guy but these look to be right up there in quality and performance, and I need a smaller basher to toss around. Kind of a mix between the XMaxx and the Big Rock. I think I'm gonna purchase the carbon version tonight. So much for the money!

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  4 месяца назад +3

      Ya Rlaarlo did great with this one! If this video helped you, using the link I provided to purchase it helps us out, which we appreciate!
      Thanks man and if you decide to get one, I agree, the carbon version has a lot for the extra $50 👍👍

    • @fixitfelix907
      @fixitfelix907 2 месяца назад

      I have the carbon version... it's really good. Exceptional build quality.

    • @publicprofilename4273
      @publicprofilename4273 2 месяца назад

      so you are aware it's China, so it's a metric 1:10 scale right? lolz. I know

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  2 месяца назад

      @publicprofilename4273 lol!
      Actually I have brought up a similar concept. I imagine China has fewer big diesel trucks running around and so on the non scale cars like monster trucks (the Omni terminator for example) this truly could be real. lol

    • @RCrepairAndBuilds
      @RCrepairAndBuilds 29 дней назад

      What servo upgrade do you recommend for the 2997a? Thanks

  • @JT-6s
    @JT-6s 4 месяца назад +13

    I agree with your conclusion, but I’d say there is a caveat.
    The Rlaarlo, according to them, will be upped to $270 after pre-sales. Meanwhile, I’ve frequently seen the HBX go on sale for $150 since it was released. Once that price disparity kicks in, not sure the Rlaarlo will be worth the extra 💰

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  4 месяца назад +8

      I agree! However I’m hoping the “crossed out” price is a gimmick. They raise it too much and they’re not gonna sell many. Hoping it stays where it’s at.

    • @publicprofilename4273
      @publicprofilename4273 2 месяца назад +3

      fully kicked.. is $270 now, I'm out on it. I can get a Redcat Blackout or Volcano Pro brushless or one of many Traxxas, Losi, Arrma etc in the 250 to 300 range, so I'm betting I'm not alone in noticing that. I bet it'll be back where I legit think it belongs, 200 sometime in the not too distant future.

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  2 месяца назад

      @publicprofilename4273 I completely agree it belongs at $200 with the carbon version pretty reasonable still at $250. $270 makes it a hard bargain when not much more gets you a better and bigger truck.

    • @joseCalderon1976
      @joseCalderon1976 Месяц назад

    The Rlaarlo suspension seems to be the cats ass. It ate up your little speed bump tester and seemed to be a lot smoother. Way netter brakes too. I gotta give it hands down to rlaarlo. Anyways it's my second time to the channel and I'm liking it. Hello from Canada 🇨🇦

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  4 месяца назад +2

      Yes the Rlaarlo’s suspension is quite literally one of the best I’ve ever seen of any car. Welcome back my neighbor to the north!

  • @CK4RC
    @CK4RC 3 месяца назад +1

    Great comparison video! I haven't driven the Rlaarlo, but just from the video you can tell the difference in handling. And the suspension test was a huge difference too! As always, well done!

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  3 месяца назад +1

      Thanks! It’s clear in the video, but they have a pretty different feel while driving too. They nailed it!

  • @KahnabusX420
    @KahnabusX420 3 месяца назад +3

    Received my Terminator today. It's freaking awesome. Love it, best car I have so far. Control is smooth. It is built like a $500 truck. I recommend the aluminum model, the carbon model is sweet, but it's $50 that could be spent on a couple batteries for it as opposed to a bigger motor geared down to match the speed of the aluminum so you're not gaining speed. Love the Traxxas cars, but I would recommend this over just about anything out there for anyone getting into it and for those that want a full hobby grade truck without the 1/9 size. The response is instant, so theres no lag or cogging and the remote is pretty nice.

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  3 месяца назад +1

      I agree man! It’s a super well built truck!

    Hey i want to also add and i don't think I've ever mentioned it but you seem like an awesome dad to your kids. Love how you combined the fun of the with them and spending a ton of quality time with them. They seem to always be having a blast with their pops and I'm sure they will never forget these memories when they're older. Definitely seem like the cool, fun dad lol. All dads should find a hobby both can enjoy and rc seems like the perfect one! 🍻🍻

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  Месяц назад

      Yes i definitely try to do right by them. RC is definitely one of the best hobbies for that! 😊

  • @roadstar499
    @roadstar499 13 дней назад

    Terminator roller version sounds like a great option also.. just a matter of finding the right motor pinions...i have a few big brushless motors i used in boats laying around,but this truck would probably need a higher kv...would run mine on 2 and 3s..so around 36 mph on 2s and 50mph on 3s would be ideal...thanks for sharing 😊

  • @BangForYourBuckRc
    @BangForYourBuckRc 4 месяца назад

    Great comparison Evan! I agree with you, both of these trucks are really amazing at their price points. Choosing the better between the two I’m sure was tough, but from what I can tell, your end call was the right one. Rlaarlo wins this one by the slimmest of margins! I’ve some videos where the metal chassis Rlaarlo got slightly faster speeds. Same with the 2997a. Both are winners in their own right! Enjoy the rest of your weekend buddy!👊🏼😎👍🏻

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  3 месяца назад +2

      Thanks Robby!
      Rlaarlo knocked this out of the park! Cant wait for the ultra-Terminator!
      I made that up but hopefully a larger version soon!

  • @NickPa777
    @NickPa777 4 месяца назад +4

    I don't like the Chinese cars creeping above the $200 price point, but great video. I particularly like when you do the comparison videos like this. Can't wait to see the mods that are upcoming and the comparison of modified versions.

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  4 месяца назад +5

      I hear ya, but I like the option to have a good China car. If it’s made good, I don’t care where it comes from. I would say for its size, the $200-$250 price is pretty topped out though lol Much higher and might as well shell out for a 3s Arrma. In other words, I definitely see your point lol

  • @KahnabusX420
    @KahnabusX420 4 месяца назад

    Love it. Can't wait for my carbon to come. HBX is still top notch for budget cars, but Rlaarlo just set a new bar!
    As always, thanks for the videos. Such a major help with purchases.

    • @DerbyCityRC

    Great entertainment as always, Evan! Bit of a bummer with the HBX, lots of issues, I guess the Terminator didn't get terminated as I thought this time...
    I'm looking forward to spring, maybe finally sometime maybe get my version of the HBX out for a run...

    • @DerbyCityRC

    My Rlaarlo sucks big time, and I only had it for a couple of months and didn't put it through your testing which is excellent well make video probably the best review video out there kudos. If I had to by my Omni over again I wouldn't its fast but runs crooked the motor shuts of when it feels like it and parts have fallen off of it anyway thanks for you video's I enjoy all of them you gots talent thats for sure, cheers.

    • @DerbyCityRC

  • @frednel4326
    @frednel4326 4 месяца назад +1

    Rlaarlo certainly done a great job on that truck and those softer tyres and suspension setup makes its handling better than the hbx 👍, but it can be done to the hbx too and i realy like them both, great informative video thanx bro 👌

    Hey man,
    I absolutely love your channel. You are the reason my son and I have 5 Hbx cars today and absolutely love them. Also ordered the rlaarlo. I'm curious how the big upgrade tyres you have on your 2995 would do on the terminator. What do you think? Worth a try? Maybe you could test that. I also have them on my 2996a and they are really awesome.
    Keep up the good work, dude. 👌🏻

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  3 месяца назад +1

      Awesome man, thanks! I think you’ll love the terminator!
      I may try those tires, but probably will need to do the motor upgrade first, which is in the plans!
      Thanks again!!

    • @user-of5zj2br9e
      @user-of5zj2br9e 3 месяца назад +2

      Hey,

    Have you tried different oil in the shocks the hbx 2996/7 come with? I put 70wt in the 2997a, but didn't make as much difference as I thought. I might try 2500 diff fluid, or a mix of the two

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  3 месяца назад +1

      I haven’t tried yet but I plan to. You might be onto something with that 2500.

  • @gothbricks2000
    @gothbricks2000 3 месяца назад +1

    Finally took out my new 2997a today The body cracked on the first flip, which is a bit silly, and the rear shocks are pretty slappy, so prob underfilled or underweight. Otherwise, digging it.

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  3 месяца назад +2

      Yup definitely have glass like bodies, which stinks. In the video you saw this morning, I used these shocks for that HyperGo build and put 80wt fluid in them. Could try that!

  • @atbear
    @atbear 4 месяца назад

    Great vid, as always! In your opinion, what would be the best shocks, etc. upgrade for the 2997A to get it more on par with the Rlaarlo’s suspension? Thanks!

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  3 месяца назад

      Thanks! I’m not sure yet. I’ve tried these, amzn.to/3PlR6wr and they’re great but the fluid is too thick. Thinning it down would probably make them almost perfect. I’m probably gonna try the rlaarlo terminator shocks on it soon honestly. Lol

    How would you feel the way it drives and handles between the rlaarlo vs the TEAM ASSO MT10? And speed wise? You think it would be comparable in the suspension too?

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  3 месяца назад +1

      They drive and handle pretty similarly really.
      Rival wins on speed and size. Suspension pretty comparable I’d say, maybe even tipped towards the rlaarlo in suspension especially being that it’s super tunable.

  • @tooleyzrc1973
    @tooleyzrc1973 4 месяца назад

    Ive got the am-d12 and i like it a lot. The Terminator is very tempting but man..those gears sound ROUGH.. still a good sub 200 car though. If i had an excuse to get one..like you, who will profit from the purchase, then of course.. keeping my current fleet going is hard enough.. without adding the Terminator..which requires its own parts, which most likely are not fully compatible with 12 scale

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  3 месяца назад

      The AM-D12 is a good car too but doesn’t quite compare. They really did good on this one. The gears don’t sound bad at all. Could be the way the camera picks it up? Loud yes because they’re metal but very smooth.

  • @Truth12345
    @Truth12345 4 месяца назад

    I'm going to build a 3d printed car (robak2.2). I like the design because it uses the drive train of hsp cars (they are pretty cheap (6bucks for a diff for example)). Printing small gears just wont last long. From the video's I have seen it very durable.
    3d printing is a great asset for our hobby, I already design and print parts when stock parts fail. The material TPU is very flexible but when used with 100% infill it becomes strong and indestructible.

    It was tough for me to decide between these two trucks but went with the OT. I was very impressed with its performance out of the box, on batt pack #10 a rear knuckle gave up, now waiting for upgrade parts from Rlaarlo. Parts shipped from China next day, should take 7-10 days total. Maybe for prime day I'll get the HBX to have a backup :)

    I couldn’t help but notice you have the mjx hyper go tires on that hbx 16889 in the background. How did they work on there and are they smaller than the tires from the 903?

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  4 месяца назад +1

      So that’s my HBX Frankenstein build. It’s a hybrid of a few different HBX cars basically making it a 1/14 scale but has the width of a 1/12 scale. Built it almost a year ago if you never saw that, but I’m working on a video giving it more power and a better servo (hopefully). I think they’re slightly taller than the 903 wheels. So far I like it but haven’t been able to run them much yet.

    • @seanchristman9548
      @seanchristman9548 4 месяца назад

      The Frankenstein build was awesome. I have a stock 16889 with the 903 tires on it. It wants to flip backwards way too quick for my son to handle. Any chance u can measure the height of the MJX wheel u have on there? The 903 is 3.77 in. tall. The MJX look shorter than that. Thanks

    Amazing comparison!
    I think I would give it to the Rlaarlo too based on your review but isn't there a pretty big price difference? The HBX typically goes for $165 and at times $150 but what price is the Rlaarlo typically at ($200)? Granted, a 3s LIPO and charger would add say $30 if you went with a 3s USB charger for the HBX. I am not sure what kind of charger the Rlaarlo comes with? But it seems that Rlaarlo is just much more substantial so it is worth a premium... hmmm, if my numbers above are right it seems the Rlaarlo is at least as good of a value if not better.
    I have my HBX up to 60 mph on the stock LIPOs (in series) and the stock motor on a 120A ESC. I would love to see you slap a 120A ESC in both and see how they handle 4s power compared to each other!

    • @DerbyCityRC

    Hey Evan, psyched for the next video to come out, whatever it may be. I just bought and then traded a Redcat Rampage XT two-stroke 1/5th scale truck that was literally brand new. I got the truck so cheap for what it was, had a terrible time starting and tuning it, it never worked for more than 3 mins so I traded with a guy for an Outcast 6S which is what I wanted all along and couldn't afford. Anyhow, I noticed that Redcat put out a brand new 1/5th Electric called the Vigilante. I haven't been the biggest Redcat fan but this one might be worth a look and so I am asking (begging) that you review this one for us. I think the 1/5 scale would be such a cool shake up from your regular stuff and this one is red hot new. I would really love to see how it holds up to your technics. Thanks!!

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  3 месяца назад +1

      All of those are great options. The Omni is almost a perfect truck for its class, and the other two you mentioned are pretty awesome as well. Granite would be the biggest and the fastest, then the rival, then the Omni. The granite can be turned down to 50% power while you learn if you need it, and the other two can be turned down to almost a crawl. The HBX in this video is still a great option, especially being its only $165 with the coupon on Amazon, but it would be my least favorite out of all the options you mentioned. If you haven’t seen it, I actually have a comparison video between the rival and the granite from about a year ago that would help if you haven’t seen it.

(You can't) All that time save money for your dream truck. If you get bored with the Gorgon get a Amazon 3s esc/ motor combo and a dumbo rc tx/rx combo and upgrade it until rest of money is saved. It'll ultimately be easier to buy your dream/ most expensive rig first. You'll spend more working your way up than just jumping in with both feet. After you've dropped a grand or more on a truck is easier to spend $500 on another. There will be more, lol

      But a car with a little more clearance would be awesome and the handling and craftsmanship of Terminator looks fantastic.

      The 2996a does have the center differential also!😃
      The mix is pretty sweet. I’ve got a really cool mod video for that coming up in a week or two!

    The Terminator is as far beyond the 2997A as the 2997A is beyond a Newbright RC. I own both. The Brakes on the Term are Phenomenal while on the 2997A hardly even work. Love the 7A but if i had to do it again I would get 2 Terminators. I have the Carbon version btw.

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  4 дня назад +1

      Ya I know what you mean. There’s alot of pluses on the term over the 2997a. Try adjusting the throttle trim for the brakes as mine I recall working pretty well, but ya definitely not as good as the Omni. The 7a is still an excellent upgrade platform. I did a video on that a few weeks ago and it’s excellent.

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  Месяц назад

      Not sure of the exact measurement right now, but almost definitely too tall for the H14BM. Just uploaded a video yesterday putting them on that HBX 2997a and it lifts it way up. I don’t think the control arms or axles will be able to take that angle. If you widen your H14BM like I did, then you could lol

    I would like to share my story . I ordered this cf version and paid for 3-5 day shipping . 2 weeks later , no car but an email from rlaarlo asking for another $50 on top of the $259 for shipping saying my address is in a remote area . I’m totally not in a remote area living in a suburb of Ohio . This whole ordeal has been bs and after watching so many vids of issues with the cars I can’t say I feel confident enough to keep going with this let alone pay more . I cancelled and will go with an arrma granite or vorteks . Man , what a crock of 💩. Has this happened to anyone else ? I can guarantee I’m not in a remote area . What a bummer but I’m kind of glad since there’s a lot of issues with these

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  2 месяца назад

      Thanks for sharing. I’ve heard of other people saying that same thing about the “remote area.” That makes no sense and is definitely disappointing being inside the US.
      I think the amount of problems we are seeing is probably due to the fact that people are already upset about the bad shipping process and sharing it more often, but hard to say for sure. I see “issues” in the Arrma pages a lot too, but I definitely understand your concerns and Rlaarlo needs to make some major changes next time around. They have disappointed a ton of their customers. 🥺
      They seem to be atleast trying to respond to everyone now, and most likely the extra shipping charge didn’t turn out how they meant it to. I’d do the same thing as you. It’s an awesome car for $200-$250, but that extra shipping charge puts it near the same price as a 3s Arrma and is so the same thing you did. Sorry about your experience, man! Have you decided between your Arrma choices yet?
