Awesome runs and PB Saul, keep pushing mate! Those cats eyes are a pain in the ass though, lucky not too much damage, when i saw that first crash and then the second one i was like Noooooo!!!!
Oh yeah man, scary the first time hitting that cats eye but more frustrating the second time😅 Time to search for another road I think🤦 Hope you manage to get out for a run soon, bloody weather! Thanks Dave👍
Thanks Li🤪 Yeah im so happy I could get at least one clean run over 200kph🥳 Some tinkering and actually use full throttle and I think I vould achieve 150mph.
Yeah it almost 2030, shouldn't we have hologram reflectors by now🤔😆 Definitely annoying especially knowing my cars has lots more in it but just scared to really push it on this road😱 Thanks for checking it out!
Nice mate bloody good effort. Shame about the road mate might have to really put some time into google maps and try suss out some place better. What a bloody legend your dad is too going back home to grab the gps got a good father there mate 👍🏻😎
Well I could drive back I got no licence🤭 Yeah dad is a bit of a legend, he does too much for me actually. And YES we definitely need to find a better road! Thanks heaps Michael👍
Great job, it's a small wiggly car and 126mph is legit! I feel your pain with the reflector. I hit one at 126MPH in the Limitless. The damage was a sheared screw for the battery tray and a loose pinion. No big deal in the end, but I saw my wallet flash before my eyes.
Thanks JK👍 Yes I think anything over 100mph with these smaller cars is a great achievement especially if as you said they are a bit wiggly. I would've been having heart palpitations if I crashed my limitless at that speed, wallets flashing before my eyes absolutely😱😅
@@rccrazy thank you brother! I had them both out yesterday!… hit 108 with the Typhon and crashed the 917 again. Learning from each crash, hopefully I can fix it my parts car is about tapped out… lol
Oh mate expensive, tell me about it😅 The 3d printer isn't a dumb idea, even if your just using it to make temporary parts for when your waiting on factory parts👌 My young mate Lennart does a lot of 3d printing, he designed and made me a nosecone for the first Rlaarlo Challenge.
Very nice! Yeah I think I'd need a higher kv motor for 4s but I love low kv and high voltage for some reason🤔 Current setup should get around 140mph at full throttle but I got one more motor I can install for 140mph+ if needed👌
Yeah that's a big difference compared to my 2300kv motor😅 I think I just like having a efficient set-up even with speedrun cars, never had a warm motor speedrunning so that's a bonus👌
@@rccrazy yeah I've only had mine upward of 90 and it's a little sketchy and I got to do mine on a two-lane road so yeah it's a little sketchy. We're going to get her up there though. Waiting on some motor today and some new gears whenever rlaarlo decides to send them out. You know a different place. You can order gears for that or a link to them that'll fit that car
@@rccrazy Oh yeah, I took my Vendetta out to a new estate where Amazon is here in Western Sydney Great stretch but full of brand new Reflectors. I haven't bothered taking the AK out there. I love how your doing those speeds with relatively cheep motor & ECU
Yeah a bunch of new reflectors is like a speedrun car nightmare😖 And yes I just use whatever seems good and cheap, the ESC was actually half price so even cheaper than it should've be👌 I love using low kv and high gearing aswell, almost everyone is running like 4000kv or higher, I'm running 2300kv😅
@@rccrazy y My run was on 2200KV I think i can gear up quite easy, just don't know the best balance, KV to Gearing options... I'm tossing up getting a higher KV motor as I might run out of gearing options. I had a 39T on the motor & it only just fit... But I could raise the mount up... 🤔
Oh your still running Rlaarlo gears on a 1/8 motor, that's why mate. I only got 131kph with a 41t pinion so I changed to mod1 as soon as I put my biggest motor in it. If you got the steel spur then just run them the opposite way around, your motor has a 5mm shaft so you can run the 52t pinion with the adapter thing on the motor and the 39t pinion on the centre shaft, that will definitely raise the top speed by quite a bit👌
Go back and watch i think my second video on the 917, was so unstable😵 It's still very hard to keep straight upto about 70mph but after that it gets a little easier.
Toe out helps me with stability absolutely but there are many factors at play, the balance could be one thing causing instability but there are many fast builds 917s and other cars that are well and truly unbalanced including mine, so much heavier on the lipo side but it still pulls both ways under like 60-70mph. Honestly I don't know what makes some of these 917s so hard to drive🤔
No I'm running mod one gears now, no need to modify having such big gears to choose from. But if you want to stick to 48p gears and not want to mod your mount you just need a 43t 48p pinion and it will mesh up with the Rlaarlo 52t spur gear
Nice job! I actually have grown to dislike RLAARLO as a company with regard to several issues I had early on with them…the quality of their hex screws & delivery times were at the forefront. Mine is finally ready to run…CASTLE 1515, MAMBA MONSTER ESC (used a HoBao motor mount), dual cooling fans for motor & CapPack, 40T spur & 34T pinion…6S POWERHOBBY LiPo…custom carbon fiber LiPo mount, rear wing & front splitter. Now I am just worried about wrecking it! Good luck…!
Thanks heaps! No I will no longer support Rlaarlo as they failed to provide any service really until a LOT of people complain. In my opinion they only have one car, the AK-917 as the rest are just copies of copies of copies😴 I was having issues with them well before the AK was announced. Then there is the whole speedrun rules controversy, changing rules so people can crash but still claim their runs and the "groups" slow speeds beat faster speeds?😵💫 The AK is a great car but the company behind it is not!

Great great great result, mate so happy for you. Well done.. 👍🏼👍🏼🚗🚗. Absolutely killed it.🚗💨💨💨
Mate I had my doubts on this road but managed to zigzag enough to avoid the reflectors and curbs🤣
Thanks man👊
@@rccrazy well. We know what to do. ⚒️🤣
🤫🤣
Wow man. I know that was a roller coaster of a day. Very impressed it held up after those crashes too. Darn reflectors!
Always thrilling doing speedruns😅
Yeah it definitely has some strength, not a weak car.
Thanks for checking it out mate👍
Epic run brother‼️ I was screaming at the phone- don't crash, don't crash!!- I'm glad you got that speed!! Keep it going ‼️👍👍🦾🦾😎
Enthusiasm from afar, DON'T CRASH😆
Yes it was hard going but I reached my goal finally🥹
Thanks so much Dome🤝👍
@RC crazy 🤣 exactly! The times you did crash, my friends were like-why do you keep screaming "oh shit!! " !? 🤣🤣 can't wait to see the next run‼️👍👍🦾🦾😎
Funny as😂
Round of applause 👏🏾 Nice runs!
Much appreciated thank you!🙏👍
Epic runs mate, keep doing what your doing.
Thanks so much Gillian😁
Can't wait to crack the 150mph😅
Nice one there.😃 Thank goodness it did not crash, amazing that you got it at 200km/h. 😅👍
Thanks Li🤪
Yeah im so happy I could get at least one clean run over 200kph🥳

Hat's off 🎩 what an incredible run 👏
Good stuff bro.
Thanks mate😁
It was nerve racking that's for sure😵💫
Nice work
Awesome run, well.done 👊🏼
Thanks mate👊
Can't wait to go again😅
That's awesome!!! Great stuff 👍
Thanks Rob😁
Thanks for checking out the video👍

What a bloody legend your dad is too going back home to grab the gps got a good father there mate 👍🏻😎
Well I could drive back I got no licence🤭
Yeah dad is a bit of a legend, he does too much for me actually.
And YES we definitely need to find a better road!
Thanks heaps Michael👍
GROUP 3! NOICE! CHEERS MATE!
Congrats dude! Awesome speeds!
Thanks man🤪🤘
Lucky I didn't get any damage before that 200+ run😆
Awesome runs mate, well done! Surprised how tough the car is after those high speed crashes!
Thanks heaps Paul!
I was also very surprised it had no damage aswell, super tough!
Congrats on the pb! Thats some crazy speeds
Thanks very much Oscar😁
Yes quite a bit of adrenaline pushing such a small car that fast, full throttle will be interesting😬
Great job, it's a small wiggly car and 126mph is legit!

Sweet speed run bro!!
Very happy to get 200+
Thanks heaps mate!👍
Awesome run brother! Awesome set up,
Thanks mate🙏
It's been a mission so far🥵
Looking forward to your next runs, loving your Typhon aswell, make me want to get my limitless out.
@@rccrazy thank you brother! I had them both out yesterday!… hit 108 with the Typhon and crashed the 917 again. Learning from each crash, hopefully I can fix it my parts car is about tapped out… lol
108mph is AWESOME mate🤘
And that's no good your almost out of spare bits for the AK, it can be brutal doing speedruns
@@rccrazy right. It’s a ton of fun though. Can get a little expensive! Thinking about investing in a 3d printer lol
Oh mate expensive, tell me about it😅
The 3d printer isn't a dumb idea, even if your just using it to make temporary parts for when your waiting on factory parts👌
My young mate Lennart does a lot of 3d printing, he designed and made me a nosecone for the first Rlaarlo Challenge.
Awesome job brother 👏
Thanks Speedster👍
So happy I broke that 200kph mark😁
Good video. Awesome speed runs. I did cringe a bit when you hit that reflector.
Thank you so much Tim😁
Oh mate I was cringing hitting those reflectors, don't know how it survived to be honest😅
@rccrazy It seems to be a pretty tough car, chassis, and body both.
Just out of curiosity, which transmitter are you using?
It has proven itself to be very resilient absolutely!
I am using my Spektrum DX4C transmitter, I love Spektrum radio systems.
@@rccrazy okay. I thought it looked like a Spektrum transmitter. But I wasn't positive.
Well dun
Thanks Mitchell👍
Congratulations 👏🎉
Thank you Gary👍
I got mine up to 116mph on 4s
Very nice!
Yeah I think I'd need a higher kv motor for 4s but I love low kv and high voltage for some reason🤔
Current setup should get around 140mph at full throttle but I got one more motor I can install for 140mph+ if needed👌

Bit scary the first few runs😬
@@rccrazy yeah I've only had mine upward of 90 and it's a little sketchy and I got to do mine on a two-lane road so yeah it's a little sketchy. We're going to get her up there though. Waiting on some motor today and some new gears whenever rlaarlo decides to send them out. You know a different place. You can order gears for that or a link to them that'll fit that car
I just went straight to mod1 gears, the spur gear shaft is 5mm so you can just use a large pinion as a spur👌
Awesome Stuff mate leading the Aussie Assault!
Thanks mate👍
Yes I'm doing my best while trying to avoid those reflectors anyway😬
@@rccrazy Oh yeah, I took my Vendetta out to a new estate where Amazon is here in Western Sydney Great stretch but full of brand new Reflectors.

Hi what Size Tooth Pinion Gear ⚙️ are you using it’s 48p
And what Size Spur Gear are you using is that the standard one on the AK-917
I did mention gearing in the video, 30t pinion 25t spur mod1.
@@rccrazy ok so you changed the Spur to Mod 1
Both Mod 1

How does ur car run in a straight line mine is just awfulll
Go back and watch i think my second video on the 917, was so unstable😵
It's still very hard to keep straight upto about 70mph but after that it gets a little easier.
@@rccrazy hey man the toe out helped a bit yeah. Im running a big 5600mah 120c 4s battery so maybe the car is also to unbalanced?

Did u mod ur motor mount to get the gearing to fit ?
No I'm running mod one gears now, no need to modify having such big gears to choose from.
But if you want to stick to 48p gears and not want to mod your mount you just need a 43t 48p pinion and it will mesh up with the Rlaarlo 52t spur gear
@@rccrazy yeah right I thought the mod1 stuff would be smaller and would need work to make it fit
No mod1 has much larger teeth, so imagine you had a 48p and mod1 gear with the same number of teeth, the mod1 would be significantly larger diameter.
@@rccrazy perfect thanks mate 🤟🏻
IT'S THAT "SHEET ROCK" YOU HAVE AGAINST YOUR BATTERY?
Sheet rock?🤔
Why would I put rock in my car?🤣
Oh you mean the yoga mat foam😂
@@rccrazy oh ok. Lol.. Gotta admit, partner, it kinda looks like it. Lol
Yeah kinda😅
sory but the motor and esc is garbege put castle or tp
Don't tell me what's to do with my cars🤣
Nice job! I actually have grown to dislike RLAARLO as a company with regard to several issues I had early on with them…the quality of their hex screws & delivery times were at the forefront.

No I will no longer support Rlaarlo as they failed to provide any service really until a LOT of people complain.
In my opinion they only have one car, the AK-917 as the rest are just copies of copies of copies😴
I was having issues with them well before the AK was announced.
Then there is the whole speedrun rules controversy, changing rules so people can crash but still claim their runs and the "groups" slow speeds beat faster speeds?😵💫
The AK is a great car but the company behind it is not!
I am thinking of selling my AK and the car I won in the first competition as I don't think I want them on my channel anymore😓
