    Thats a impressive little car. Wonder how it would do in the summer when it's nice and dry. Are parts easy to get?

    • @HardcoreRC
      @HardcoreRC  Год назад +2

      Think it would do well in the summer and be a good little basher, not really a skate park car to be honest. But they need to get that price down to maximum of $175 parts are all available from Rlaarlo website direct, I'm going to order the bits i need and see how long they take to arrive, plus the WLtoys parts should fit unless its a Rlaarlo specific part like the carbon chassis etc

    I bought 2 of these and both had the same issue. It's the same issue that the WL-toys buggies have. The front wheels are so loose that its almost impossible to launch the buggy and for it to go straight under full power. The durability is way stronger than the WL-toys versions but if it doesnt go straight, there is no point. Spend the extra $100 and get a quality brand.

      Yes its a good little buggy, just the full price is a bit to much in our opinion

    It held up at the skatepark longer than any wltoys I've ever taken to one. I've taken two wltoys to the skatepark, jumped one ramp with each car, broke both cars on the first jump. Not sure if 250 USD is quite worth it for the rlaarlo, but it's not far off. It really got some serious sir though and took the landings pretty well. Rlaarlo is improving fast as a brand.

    • @HardcoreRC
      @HardcoreRC  Год назад +1

      Interesting as the 124016 and 124018 we have both held up really well at the skate park, didn't break either of them. Do love this little buggy and love what Rlaarlo are doing and how they listen and improve the cars etc, just the price comes out too high for what is in essence a budget RC, in the UK by the time import VAT is paid this would be $300

    • @Rek_Rc
      @Rek_Rc Год назад

      @@HardcoreRC OMG 300? You're right, that is just way too much for that buggy, but as you said, rlaarlo does seem to put effort into improving based on consumer reviews which is great to see. As far as wltoys, they give the most bang for buck as far as speed, I just have bad luck with them, either that or I just can't drive. I do love them though. Happy Holidays to you!

      @HardcoreRC  Год назад +2

      As a racing buggy it will likely do well, Unfortunately we don't have any carpet race tracks near me to try, my biggest issue with the car is the full price - at $249 its just to expensive as its up in the range of the LC racing price, HardcoreRC discount code will give you 20% off but you may get hit with import tax. Think a fair price for the car would be somewhere around the $175 mark

    If you’re going to stick with that motor with such low kv you’re going to have to gear up as much as you can and if that’s not enough try taller road tyres to get the extra gearing out of them. Also the biggest mah battery possible helps . I went from 7000 to 15000 on 3s and gained 7km top end on grass. Good luck you’re learning a lot

      Skate Parks are a good test of what a car will and wont be able to do, we could drive the car round a field all day but that wouldn't really test it and would be pretty boring to watch, didn't say it wasn't durable enough I said it could be more durable, didn't expect an outdrive to sheer in half, have tested a number of budget RC cars the same way and never broken an outdrive.
