You might be the only good thing coming out of Louisville! Your channel has been a steady growth. You were meant to do this ! Thanks, and the truck is a beast!
As an Omni owner, thank you for doing this, awesome video (even though i'm older, i really enjoy your editing style) and i couldn't be more excited to see those S2 driveline parts holding up well! I guess i'm ordering both a Kagama and some Rlaarlo parts this week lmao! Man... life is good sometimes.
You’re welcome man! And I appreciate the note on liking the editing! I get a few complaints on it being annoying but most people seem to like it and ya can’t please them all unfortunately. Keep in mind they’re have been complaints on the s2 parts still, just reduce that driveline angle maybe and it should help. Life is awesome for sure! (Oh and if you use my link when you order your parts, that helps us out!) thanks man!!
I had thought that Rlaarlo had nailed the motor from stock. Any upgrade there would just make the truck unmanageable. They did such a good job right out of the box... That's what's amazing.
They did do a good job! But I do think the motor was slightly underpowered. Maybe not in the carbon version, but this one definitely needed more. My motor took it over the top for sure though.

Happy father’s day 🎉 to the funniest dad on RUclips. Every video is better than the last video even if the car isn’t better. Secondly this is the BEST modified Omni Terminator out there. Hands down not even close tbh. This video was great you broke that car down in a jiffy. ❤. I’m an HVAC and plumbing and heating contractor. I’ve been working with small parts since I was 15 or so when I did my first boiler install. You would make a great mechanic😂 I’d love to employ you. 😅. All jokes aside this is the best Rlaarlo on the net. You should be proud dude. Oh yea go easy on that alien he’s a great security guard for your RC garage. 😂😂😂 Happy fathers 🎉🎉🎉
Awesome comment, bro. Thanks so much! I agree this turned out really awesome! I actually was an auto tech for about 10 years, then a small engine/power tool tech for 4 years, so that experience certainly helped 😆. I try not to get to upset with the alien, but then he goes and tries to take credit for all that work 😂. Thanks again man!
Happy Father's Day! You should try stiffer springs and thicker shock oil for jumping ramps. It is chassis slapping really hard which is why it bounces a lot. It's too plush out of the box. Never could get why they set them up with plush suspension when it is a basher and not a racer. I prefer to use progressive springs. They are plush up top and get stiffer at the bottom. You could also try some chassis bunions.
That would help, I don’t always jump it crazy like this. Was really for testing purposes. The progressive springs would be awesome, I haven’t tried them yet on anything. The chassis bunions may do the trick!!
Thanks and Happy Fathers day! I love my carbon Terminator. Got all the upgrades when I ordered it. Still need to install.😂 Evan ,thank you for all the work you do. Great Vid!
Thanks man!! I’d say keep the upgrades for if things break! Besides performance upgrades might as well wait or do it whenever you’re bored lol 😆 thanks and you’re welcome!!
Nice one. You totally rebuilt the truck. Excellent job keeping the rebuild quick and exciting. You actually showed everything quite well and just keep it moving along. I can tell you put tons of work into making this video. Great driving as well.
Thanks! Yes that was my goal (and usually is), to show enough so it can not only help people do the same stuff, but also to keep it exciting and give as much info as I can. This was a rather involved video 😆 Thanks so much!!
Yup I agree! The original body on mine broke on the very first crash on concrete lol this is the body that comes with the “higher end” Carbon fiber version. Different material. Thanks!!
@@DerbyCityRC I have one. Thanks to your earlier video! I don't beat on it quite as hard as you do so it is good to know it will take whatever I throw at it.
Great video! I have found out (when I wrecked mine) that tires over 4ish inch with the bigger pinion make this thing uncontrollable. Thats how I cartwheeled into a trailer hitch haha. Mine were 5 1/4 and 2 1/4 wide. I have some 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 wide roadies for it when the new hubs get here. Shipping time not too awesome yet. Hopefully then I can keep the front on the ground and hit full throttle. Oh yeah, 12mm extensions for that stance too LOL.
@@DerbyCityRC how do you feel about the legendary thunder 1/10 scale as far as a budget rig? I've heard it's pretty good for the price range but Amazon said it's had lots of return issues. Any thoughts? I'm trying to pull the trigger on either this or the 2997a. I'm sure the 2997 has got to be better quality the price for the thunder is $109 for 1/10. Your thoughts and opinion are valued.
@Brad-bb2io i get so many requests for that one, it’s unbelievable. I mean like three comments about it just from this video alone lol. I’m going to reach out to Laegendary soon and see if I can try one for them, but I have a feeling like the 2997a more. I don’t believe the Thunder has a center differential. Would still be a fun one to test though!
Happy father's day! This is the video I have been waiting on! Awesome build and bash. I have most of those upgrades on my cf terminator other than the servo and electronics and I don't plan on beating on it as bad as you. I think it's going to take my grass and dirt bashing just fine! I may have to steal the goblinator theme though!
Thanks and you too! Yup things will always happen but should take a standard bash easily! I thought about putting in there that I’ll mail out 2 stickers for $3 domestically and $4 internationally lol gonna have some higher quality ones made for that.
Awesome video!! Have the carbon edition on the way, I have two sets of those bigger tires I also love them! I use them on my granite and they are so much fun!! Keep up the good work man!!! 🤘🏻
I hear ya about the 1.5mm screws are no bueno to the max . Never again a truck with 1.5mm screws for me . I tried some 4.3” tall tires and they were awesome , gdool on Amazon . Yeah man , waiting on some outdrives . I’ve jumped this truck probably more than most , continually in a dbl sided . She does fly nice imo . I noticed it lost its soft landing and saw I had bent an arm pin . No problemo . Just need to replace the outdrives and check the the middle parts pieces . It’s a good truck for sure . I jumped the heck out of it . Pinions will go too . I like the 4.3” tires with the 27t pinion and turned it down to 75% because full throttle sounds damaging , even with the stock tires . Cool cod . Thanks for sharing .
Glad you like it! The worst screws of them all were on the upgraded center diff. They’re even smaller. My 1.27mm driver was even too big. The stock center diff was 1.5. Makes no sense lol I think I forgot to mention that. But ya I’m gonna replace those screws as I service this some more. It’s definitely a well planned at built RC!
Im luving running the Terminator carbon rtr, such a great performing truck. Also looking forward to getting the new MJX 1/10 monster truck when there released, I dare say you will be thrashing one of those as well soon.
Just imagine his neighbor looking out the window at that moment. All I know is there would be a second video of that dance on the internet from a different angle, lol.
Thanks! Yes they do seem good so far. I’ve definitely still heard complaints of the new s2 cups wearing also though, just takes longer I guess. I wouldn’t buy them all at the same time except maybe all the drivetrain parts. Then you don’t mix hardnesses and cause wearing on other components. Plus you will have the originals as spares. The other parts I would probably only replace as needed.
Cool project man that thing looks sweet 🤙. Happy Father’s Day! My oldest son has the rc bug now too since I got him a granite so now I have someone to play with 😂.
Sweet build. I've got a 11.4v 4200mah 120c lipo that fits perfectly in place without relocating the esc. Not sure if it was available at the time when this video was made.
Thanks! I’m not sure either but longer run times get me in trouble 😂😂 Poor esc was already hitting temp cutoff. This set of batteries is only $28 compared to the $68 I think it was for the Zeees if that’s what you’re talking about. That’s a good option I’ll have to share too. Thanks!
That wheel taking flight 😂 yo- just ordered mine. Did you sort out that bolt that always bends on the shock tower? Also- video recommendation- you should consider grabbing an ND filter for your GoPro. I don’t have a modern GoPro but I feel like it would make the visuals a little less crunchy. I could totally be wrong. I always enjoy the content.
They are damn tough but not fun to work on lol Try the zeee premium 4200mah 120c its shorter so it fits in but its a hair wider I took that side skirt off easily trimmed the plastic and put some foam mat in there wow what a difference the battery makes.
I probably will grab those batteries. A lot of people suggested them. Ya know I was worried but I actually enjoyed working on this. I have a mechanical background but it was pretty straightforward except for the poopy 1.5mm screws 😂
Hi dude great video love your alen it's great he helping out. On mine I'm running 33t pinion gear and 2600kv brushless motor 120a esc 😊😊but I've taking of my monster truck wheels because it started clogging but has soon has I changed it back to stock wheels it runs fine now no issues 😊😊😅
Ok ok ok… now… you have 2 choices and only one truck can go bashing…. Both mentioned here…. This upgraded Goblinator…. Or…. The AE Rival MT10 v2??? 🤔 What’s yer poison??? Thanks for another awesome vid bro. Your stuff is just GOLDEN!!! Happy Father’s Day brotha!
Read this yesterday and have been trying to decide 😂. I want to say for smaller jumps and ground control, the rlaarlo is more fun and has a more solid feel. The mt10 is bigger and still handles super good but probably would handle extra big jumps better but it still has its issues. I’ve broken the front chassis plate on my mt10 before and probably 3 bulk heads. The mt10 will usually be easier to get parts for, but I just waited about 5 weeks for my last set of bulkheads because they were back ordered. This is truly a hard decision lol Then the rlaarlo is cheaper too. Also there aren’t many upgrades for the mt10 yet. Theyre finally starting to roll some out though from 3rd parties, and rlaarlo seems to keep quite a few of their upgrades in stock most of the time. Ahhhhh!!!! By the way thanks for the awesome comment! 😊 I guess I would choose the MT10. It’s faster without having to upgrade, even though I still think the motor and esc are underpowered for its size. The motor mount is a weak point too but there are finally upgrades for that. I’d put some 500k in the center diff on that one too Seriously though, can’t go wrong either way. lol Thanks man!!!!
I currently have to replace the center differential due to a rock destroying the housing and diff fluid leaking out. I currently ordered the upgraded one like you installed and wanted to know if it’s recommended to add the thicker diff oil or will the one it comes with will suffice for normal runs and bashing ?
To me it’s recommended but it should operate very similarly to the old one if you don’t do any fluid service. The 500k gives it better handling in my opinion and helps keep the front tires from ballooning like crazy when wheely-ing and hard acceleration.
@@DerbyCityRC Thanks for the reply! Would also recommend changing out the oil to the front and rear def as well? Also It’s definitely appreciated the work you’ve been putting into this RC that not too many people are covering. Definitely gained a subscriber!
Believe me, me too lol. Lighter 1/14-1/16 scales don’t do well on grass, but anything bigger I do more in the grass these days lol had to test it though lol
That's a lot of teardown you did for those upgrades, very nice. You ever listen to Nekrogoblikon? Your dance moves would work nicely with their music 🤣
Srry about all the comments . I wanted to add that on my example the wires coming out of the receiver box were on the motor . Zipped to the cf chassis brace. Overall this truck has been a lot of fun for me to learn jumping . Nothjng ever failed in all my comments here , yet. When the wheels were wobbly is when I noticed the outdrive damage . Seems like one of the dogbone pins in the front went flat sided and shows zero wear on the cup so far compared to the other side . I may file a small flat sop on the next set of stocks until the s2 upgrades arrive . I ll report back in awhile
Bro I Fu!@#s your vids! Straight to the point 👉🏼 with a little humor between, good insight on a lot of the smaller trucks and truggies. In witch I started ASS BACKWARDS! LOL, Started with 1/8 scale, but I find smaller scale alot more fun easier and cheaper. Anyways, you're the only channel I'm subscribed to. And I watch them all. Kudos 👏🏼!!!
Really appreciate that man! I definitely like having all the sizes but I’m right there with ya. When I get a 1/10 scale or higher out, it’s like a “treat.” Typically run 1/16-1/12 because I can worry less about breaking. Super cool man I appreciate that 🤜💥🤛
How do get the front end to stop nose diving when jumping it jumps funny I have the aluminum green version I tried ramping it but it always nose dives almost instantly and lands badly
Ya I think I mentioned that in my review video or the comparison video against the hbx 2997a. I didn’t notice it doing that with these upgrades so it could be a small amount of drag brake in the esc. You can counteract it by blipping the trigger in mid air. Just learning to time that throttle blip. All cars feel different.
That wheel taking flight 😂 yo- just ordered mine. Did you sort out that bolt that always bends on the shock tower? Also- video recommendation- you should consider grabbing an ND filter for your GoPro for broad daylight- your shaded backyard clips look great). I don’t have a modern GoPro but I feel like it would make the visuals a little less crunchy. I could totally be wrong. I always enjoy the content.
Haha, right!? Yes I put another new bolt in it. Worked well just took a big hit in that corner. That’s good info as I know nothing about filters and such. Where does the video look crunchy? Like always or in certain areas? I do my best to stay away from the shadows. Where I really need help is close up shots. They’re so blurry. Like when less than a foot away. Maybe it’s just the camera but it’s the DJI Osmo Action 4. Surely that can be better. Lol
@@DerbyCityRC crunchy in the broad daylight (to my eye at least) it has to do with the shutter speed- the camera opens and closes the shutter very very fast to compensate for so much light to not overexpose the frames. When you add an ND filter it’s kind of like putting sunglasses on the camera allowing the shutter to stay open a bit longer. Technically it makes it a little blurrier (most ion blur) but it also looks more natural when you get the number right. The general rule of thumb is 2x your frame rate for shutter speed- looks like you shoot 60fps so your shutter speed should be 1/120th of a second to get “natural” or “cinematic” looking video. These are guidelines- and the videos aren’t bad looking- just a bit crucnchy. lol. A 32 or 64 would probably work in that sunlight (I’m guessing- I don’t have that camera but my magic air 2s needs a 64 in broad daylight but I don’t shoot 60fps so 32 probably would do). Sorry for the info dump. You don’t need to do anything. Only a suggestion.
@@DerbyCityRC that’s largely personal preference. You’ve got the right order down- your content is compelling so anything further is icing on the cake. 24fps is traditionally what movies are shot in so if you ever wanted to do some cinematic sequences that’s the spot - but you have to nail down the shutter speed like I said before or it won’t turn out right(I’m not familiar with using DJI action cams so I’m not sure if there is a manual mode. If there is you’d want to set it to 100 ISO, 60 fps and 1/120 shutter speed, or 30fls 1/60 shutter speed or 24 fps 1/50 shutter speed and then get an ND filter that lowers the exposure enough where nothing is peaking, meaning getting it dark enough so that the image isn’t all white and over exposed). 30fps is traditionally used in tv shows, specifically soaps, and 60 (or more) is what sports are shot in. I’d say 60fps suits your content, but like some of your shots for your RLAARLO Jurassic video would have looked sick in 24fps. Bottom line and for simplicity sake I think your style suits 60 fps.
Unfortunately it’s obsolete now. Even on the Hobbywing website the exact kit is not listed. The esc looks physically bigger on the newer version. It’s the Max10 EZRun system.
When I did this, I remember noticing how close the motor shaft was able to get to the spur gear without a pinion gear installed. I think a 19 will work.
do you reccomend this as a good first 1/10 scale basher? i have a smaller wltoys and want a bigger basher, would you recommend this over something like a rival mt10 or arrma granite?
It’s a good choice, but it’s not truly a 1/10 scale. It’s excellent quality in my opinion but with a few wear points like I mentioned in this video. The granite is the fastest of those options, and the Omni is the slowest but also has alot of upgrade potential. For size and speed, the granite. For size and handling, rival. For smoothest driving and the most adjustability and less cost, the Omni. That’s one way to try to describe it. They’re all quite different and it’s hard to say which is better. Also the bigger two will have better parts availability for now.
@@DerbyCityRC yea honestly I don’t care too much about it being smaller, I honestly think it looks cooler than the granite and mt10 but only thing I’m worried about is spare parts shipping time, I’ll probably go with the mt10 first then get this after, I do like how you can buy so many upgrades for it
Yup! Some of the parts for the terminator are showing up on Amazon so might be better availability real soon. Mt10 and Omni are awesome cars to get so I like your thinking!
Thanks! You too, if applicable! Thanks! No he’s never introduced himself. He’s like the odd neighbor that just pulls up a lawn chair to watch you cut your grass and gives unwelcome commentary about the weird fungus in his nostrils. No name, just a nuisance!

Super glad you like the Channel! 😊 I’m going to try to get my hands on that car soon. One of my most common RCs I get requested to review lol Thanks! 😊
Gotta find a way to fix the cvd cups from wearing out, ive almost completely ate through them and my kids are having the same issue with theirs, if only we could put the H14BM cvd's on the terminator,,,, they are too short, I've tried.
@davidkanoff110 gotcha. When it’s time to replace, be sure to use the upgraded ones. Still reports of those wearing too but not as quickly. Hopefully they make more changes. It’s definitely the biggest complaint.
@davidkanoff110 this is what I use for the FPV. Just need a better way to mount it more securely. amzn.to/4baPTQk I don’t care much for that gps even though it’s done well with all the crashes it’s survived-ish, but I just for this one I’ll be testing in the next video or two. This one gets the most praise for accuracy: amzn.to/4ba4XxF
Awesome video and upgrades! I really like this car and was thinking about getting one, but their "marketing" and customer care really turns me off. Right now they have "Anniversary sale" but they just increased the prices so the "discounted" ones are they same as before the sale. E.g. terminator metal version is now advertised with "original price" of 269.99, discounted to 199.99, which is what it always was!!! I emailed them about this and they kept insisting that it was always 269.99, even when I sent them screenshots with 199.99 price from before the sale. Really not cool... :(
Thanks man!! I know…that’s why I chose not to share this sale. Now they have always shown a “regular” price of 269, but it’s never actually been that price. It’s always marked out and has been either 199 or 219 pretty much all the time, so I agree their marketing tactics definitely blow. It seriously is an awesome car and in my opinion and from what else I’ve driven, nothing else compares in that size group. (1/12). The closest would probably be an HPI SX flux but I just didn’t care for mine too much and it’s quite a bit more money if I remember correctly. The amount of complaints rlaarlo gets on this stuff you’d think they’d stop but maybe they know something we don’t?… lol
@@DerbyCityRC Thanks man, I really appreciate your honest and thorough reviews! I will probably get over their "tactics" and order one anyway. I might need to stop watching your videos for a while though! I just ordered MJX 14210 (I got a $85 deal on aliexpress with 3s battery included, so couldn't really pass on that) and I am already thinking about Terminator. Good thing HBX 2997a is not available in EU yet! lol
@bodom321 you’re welcome!! Nooooo! 😂 just lock up your wallet lol The terminator is on Amazon by the way: amzn.to/45S7Z95 Though it’s not quite $199. I’d say if you get the terminator, you don’t need the 2997a anyway 😅 lol
@@DerbyCityRC when MJX arrives my wife will lock up my wallet for me lol! You sold me on terminator though, might need to wait a moment, but definitely will get one!

If you can't get to the screw head you can heat the metal the screw threads into.
Also, a good set of hex or Allen bits/drivers/wrenches is a must.!
The cheap ones that come with your RC are usually junk.
I use a Bondhus "Gorilla Grip" fold up hex tool to loosen my screws before using my electric screwdriver.
I've tried so many over the years & these are up there with the best, if you want better you need to be prepared to pay.!!

Never use your electric screwdriver to tighten or when you first break a screw loose, always do it by hand with your best tool & make sure the hex head is free from dirt in the head so your tool seats all the way in.!

Happy Father’s Day man! Glad I could help make it a good one! 😊
Happy Father's Day! You should try stiffer springs and thicker shock oil for jumping ramps. It is chassis slapping really hard which is why it bounces a lot. It's too plush out of the box. Never could get why they set them up with plush suspension when it is a basher and not a racer. I prefer to use progressive springs. They are plush up top and get stiffer at the bottom. You could also try some chassis bunions.
That would help, I don’t always jump it crazy like this. Was really for testing purposes. The progressive springs would be awesome, I haven’t tried them yet on anything. The chassis bunions may do the trick!!
Thanks and Happy Fathers day! I love my carbon Terminator. Got all the upgrades when I ordered it. Still need to install.😂 Evan ,thank you for all the work you do. Great Vid!
Thanks man!! I’d say keep the upgrades for if things break! Besides performance upgrades might as well wait or do it whenever you’re bored lol 😆 thanks and you’re welcome!!
I love it! “Goblinator”, customization at its finest! Love those steer /paddle tires. Very Noyce! Have a great-abulous fathers Day Evan!
Thanks Robby!! Happy Father’s Day to you!!!
Woow! Fantastic!
Thanks!!!
Great way to start a Saturday afternoon. Lets go!
🔥🔥🤜💥🤛😃
Nice one. You totally rebuilt the truck. Excellent job keeping the rebuild quick and exciting. You actually showed everything quite well and just keep it moving along. I can tell you put tons of work into making this video. Great driving as well.
Thanks! Yes that was my goal (and usually is), to show enough so it can not only help people do the same stuff, but also to keep it exciting and give as much info as I can. This was a rather involved video 😆
Thanks so much!!
wasn't trying to be negative really like your work keep it up 😊
No you’re good!! Glad you liked the project, man!!
Happy Father's Day. thanks for the video!
Thanks and you’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Not very often a body shell makes it without getting broken and damaged from your testing. Looks very durable. Nice work on this video!
Yup I agree! The original body on mine broke on the very first crash on concrete lol this is the body that comes with the “higher end” Carbon fiber version. Different material. Thanks!!
@@DerbyCityRC I have one. Thanks to your earlier video! I don't beat on it quite as hard as you do so it is good to know it will take whatever I throw at it.
Sweet! Exactly why I do what I do.
Thanks again!! 😃
@@DerbyCityRC Yeah, the polycarbonate body of the CF edition is extremely durable!
@user-yl6bh1xi8l I love it!!
Nice job ! That thing is a goblin monster, you nailed it again , thanks for the great entertainment !
Thanks! Yes it is and you’re so welcome! Thanks for being here!!
Great video!
I have found out (when I wrecked mine) that tires over 4ish inch with the bigger pinion make this thing uncontrollable.
Thats how I cartwheeled into a trailer hitch haha. Mine were 5 1/4 and 2 1/4 wide.
I have some 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 wide roadies for it when the new hubs get here. Shipping time not too awesome yet.
Hopefully then I can keep the front on the ground and hit full throttle. Oh yeah, 12mm extensions for that stance too LOL.
Thanks!! Haha ya bigger tires aren’t always better lol
Yup they’re shipping not so fast. I know it’s one of the things they hope to improve. 😃
Great video as always Evan! 🤘🤘 Lots of good info and entertainment. Happy Father's Day!
Thanks Ben! You too man!
Happy Dad's Day, Evan!!! Thanks for keeping us entertained!!
Thanks dude and you’re welcome!!
keep up the great work
Thanks!
Great ideea with that Hyper Go wheelie in middle , i will do that also , Love you man❤
Glad I can help! 😊🤜💥🤛😃❤️
Happy Father's Day

Very cool upgrades!! Love the Goblinator!! One of your best builds yet and wicked fun video!! Happy Fathers day 😁
This was tons of fun for sure! Thanks Brad! Happy Father’s Day to you too!
Nice! I've done the same thing with the LAEGENDARY Thunder & starting to get there with the 2997A!
Great build & video 👍
Sweet!! Thanks!!
Awesome build! Happy Father's Day
Thanks and you too!!
@@DerbyCityRC how do you feel about the legendary thunder 1/10 scale as far as a budget rig? I've heard it's pretty good for the price range but Amazon said it's had lots of return issues. Any thoughts? I'm trying to pull the trigger on either this or the 2997a. I'm sure the 2997 has got to be better quality the price for the thunder is $109 for 1/10. Your thoughts and opinion are valued.
@Brad-bb2io i get so many requests for that one, it’s unbelievable. I mean like three comments about it just from this video alone lol. I’m going to reach out to Laegendary soon and see if I can try one for them, but I have a feeling like the 2997a more. I don’t believe the Thunder has a center differential. Would still be a fun one to test though!
Thank you. Whadda champ!!
Thanks dude!
Happy father's day! This is the video I have been waiting on! Awesome build and bash. I have most of those upgrades on my cf terminator other than the servo and electronics and I don't plan on beating on it as bad as you. I think it's going to take my grass and dirt bashing just fine! I may have to steal the goblinator theme though!
Thanks and you too!
Yup things will always happen but should take a standard bash easily! I thought about putting in there that I’ll mail out 2 stickers for $3 domestically and $4 internationally lol gonna have some higher quality ones made for that.
@DerbyCityRC hell yeah! I need goblinatator stickers for mine!
@Nerm78 sweet! Send me an email! derbycityrc@yahoo.com
Happy Father’s Day derby rc
Thanks a ton man!!
Yes these are my favorite type of videos 1/10th scale basher videos those are also my favorite rcs as lways thanks for another great video and
👍
Nice!! Glad you like it man! Thanks and you’re welcome!!
Awesome video!! Have the carbon edition on the way, I have two sets of those bigger tires I also love them! I use them on my granite and they are so much fun!! Keep up the good work man!!! 🤘🏻
Awesome, yes these are good tires! Thanks!! 😊
As always, I love your content-it's clear you put a lot of effort into making your videos. 😍❤
Thanks! 😊
Damn, that's sweet! Good vid :D
Thanks dude!!
I hear ya about the 1.5mm screws are no bueno to the max . Never again a truck with 1.5mm screws for me . I tried some 4.3” tall tires and they were awesome , gdool on Amazon . Yeah man , waiting on some outdrives . I’ve jumped this truck probably more than most , continually in a dbl sided . She does fly nice imo . I noticed it lost its soft landing and saw I had bent an arm pin . No problemo . Just need to replace the outdrives and check the the middle parts pieces . It’s a good truck for sure . I jumped the heck out of it . Pinions will go too . I like the 4.3” tires with the 27t pinion and turned it down to 75% because full throttle sounds damaging , even with the stock tires . Cool cod . Thanks for sharing .
Glad you like it! The worst screws of them all were on the upgraded center diff. They’re even smaller. My 1.27mm driver was even too big. The stock center diff was 1.5. Makes no sense lol I think I forgot to mention that. But ya I’m gonna replace those screws as I service this some more. It’s definitely a well planned at built RC!
lol same here . I thought the comment got deleted . Have a great day .
WE HAGE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VOD FOR AGES ❤ LEZZ GOOO ITS FINNALLY HERE 🎉🎉🎉🎉
BOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!
Happy Father’s Day DUDE!!
Thanks MAN!!!! 😃😊😊
Im luving running the Terminator carbon rtr, such a great performing truck. Also looking forward to getting the new MJX 1/10 monster truck when there released, I dare say you will be thrashing one of those as well soon.
Me too it’s so good! Yes I should have two 1/10 MJXs on the way. No indication they’ve shipped yet!
I'm just laughing at the fact that at some point you walked into you garden put on a goblin mask and started dancing..while filming yourself 😅
🤣🤣 whaaaaaaaat? That’s a real goblin! They seem to be taking over!
Just imagine his neighbor looking out the window at that moment. All I know is there would be a second video of that dance on the internet from a different angle, lol.
@boduke9428 haha, if you find it, be sure to tag me…I mean Mr. Goblin! 😝
Great video as always.
So you feel like all the upgrades are good? Do you need them all?
Thanks! Yes they do seem good so far. I’ve definitely still heard complaints of the new s2 cups wearing also though, just takes longer I guess. I wouldn’t buy them all at the same time except maybe all the drivetrain parts. Then you don’t mix hardnesses and cause wearing on other components. Plus you will have the originals as spares. The other parts I would probably only replace as needed.
Nice Gobllinator dance dude!😂
Thanks man! 😂
Cool project man that thing looks sweet 🤙. Happy Father’s Day! My oldest son has the rc bug now too since I got him a granite so now I have someone to play with 😂.
Thanks and you too!!
Haha, nice that’s awesome! Cant wait until Max can fix them on his own. Atleast minor stuff. Super cool!
@@DerbyCityRC yes! lol out of my 3 arrmas one is always broken so there’s always repairs and upgrades
Oh ya. They all break 😅
Sweet build. I've got a 11.4v 4200mah 120c lipo that fits perfectly in place without relocating the esc. Not sure if it was available at the time when this video was made.
Thanks! I’m not sure either but longer run times get me in trouble 😂😂
Poor esc was already hitting temp cutoff.
This set of batteries is only $28 compared to the $68 I think it was for the Zeees if that’s what you’re talking about. That’s a good option I’ll have to share too. Thanks!
Happy father's day!
Thanks man, you too!! 😃
Happy fathers day LEZZ A GOOD
Thanks!! 😃😊🔥
That wheel taking flight 😂 yo- just ordered mine. Did you sort out that bolt that always bends on the shock tower?
Also- video recommendation- you should consider grabbing an ND filter for your GoPro. I don’t have a modern GoPro but I feel like it would make the visuals a little less crunchy. I could totally be wrong. I always enjoy the content.
They are damn tough but not fun to work on lol Try the zeee premium 4200mah 120c its shorter so it fits in but its a hair wider I took that side skirt off easily trimmed the plastic and put some foam mat in there wow what a difference the battery makes.
I probably will grab those batteries. A lot of people suggested them. Ya know I was worried but I actually enjoyed working on this. I have a mechanical background but it was pretty straightforward except for the poopy 1.5mm screws 😂
Hi dude great video love your alen it's great he helping out. On mine I'm running 33t pinion gear and 2600kv brushless motor 120a esc 😊😊but I've taking of my monster truck wheels because it started clogging but has soon has I changed it back to stock wheels it runs fine now no issues 😊😊😅
Thanks!!😊 ya those big wheels can do that 😅
OHHHH YEAH.!! 👍 👍 👍
😃🤜💥🤛😃
Ok ok ok… now… you have 2 choices and only one truck can go bashing…. Both mentioned here…. This upgraded Goblinator…. Or…. The AE Rival MT10 v2??? 🤔
What’s yer poison???
Thanks for another awesome vid bro. Your stuff is just GOLDEN!!! Happy Father’s Day brotha!
Read this yesterday and have been trying to decide 😂. I want to say for smaller jumps and ground control, the rlaarlo is more fun and has a more solid feel. The mt10 is bigger and still handles super good but probably would handle extra big jumps better but it still has its issues. I’ve broken the front chassis plate on my mt10 before and probably 3 bulk heads. The mt10 will usually be easier to get parts for, but I just waited about 5 weeks for my last set of bulkheads because they were back ordered. This is truly a hard decision lol Then the rlaarlo is cheaper too. Also there aren’t many upgrades for the mt10 yet. Theyre finally starting to roll some out though from 3rd parties, and rlaarlo seems to keep quite a few of their upgrades in stock most of the time. Ahhhhh!!!! By the way thanks for the awesome comment! 😊
I guess I would choose the MT10. It’s faster without having to upgrade, even though I still think the motor and esc are underpowered for its size. The motor mount is a weak point too but there are finally upgrades for that. I’d put some 500k in the center diff on that one too Seriously though, can’t go wrong either way. lol
Thanks man!!!!
That goblin Sure knows how to dance
That’s just a well known fact about goblins. They’re elegant dancers!
I currently have to replace the center differential due to a rock destroying the housing and diff fluid leaking out. I currently ordered the upgraded one like you installed and wanted to know if it’s recommended to add the thicker diff oil or will the one it comes with will suffice for normal runs and bashing ?
To me it’s recommended but it should operate very similarly to the old one if you don’t do any fluid service. The 500k gives it better handling in my opinion and helps keep the front tires from ballooning like crazy when wheely-ing and hard acceleration.
@@DerbyCityRC Thanks for the reply! Would also recommend changing out the oil to the front and rear def as well? Also It’s definitely appreciated the work you’ve been putting into this RC that not too many people are covering. Definitely gained a subscriber!
Spaceship agitated my bunions 😂 thumbs up Brud👍
😂😂 ya he’s a goofy little alien 😆
Thanks dude!!
I just watched a RC ad using your video clips
Who was it an ad for? Rlaarlo has asked permission.
You can fit shorty 4300mah batteries, using the stock esc position and add tne extra handkes for the big battery conversion.
Sweet! What brand battery?
@@DerbyCityRC Zeee
@user-yl6bh1xi8l gotcha, ya I’ve seen those!
Man she took a beating - I cringe on those concrete landings even when it's not my truck. lol
Believe me, me too lol. Lighter 1/14-1/16 scales don’t do well on grass, but anything bigger I do more in the grass these days lol had to test it though lol
Also the steering upgrade is angled cause the rim rubs on the stock... If you have to much stering...
Gotcha, that makes sense.
That's a lot of teardown you did for those upgrades, very nice. You ever listen to Nekrogoblikon? Your dance moves would work nicely with their music 🤣
Thanks!! I had never heard of them until I watched his interview on “Rock Feed” a few months ago. Thanks for reminding me I need to check them out 😂😂
Srry about all the comments . I wanted to add that on my example the wires coming out of the receiver box were on the motor . Zipped to the cf chassis brace. Overall this truck has been a lot of fun for me to learn jumping . Nothjng ever failed in all my comments here , yet. When the wheels were wobbly is when I noticed the outdrive damage . Seems like one of the dogbone pins in the front went flat sided and shows zero wear on the cup so far compared to the other side . I may file a small flat sop on the next set of stocks until the s2 upgrades arrive . I ll report back in awhile
I don’t mind the comments!
Ya keep me posted how it goes!
For sure 👍.
Pushin' cushion lmao! I'm all about that cushion for the pushin' 😂
Haha! I was wondering when someone would comment about that 😂
@DerbyCityRC wasn't going to get by me, that's for sure lol 😆
@NathanStorer-RC 😅😂😂
Get belted tires. You will still wheelie with that much power but more stability.
I agree!
Thanks!
Thanks Mike! Always appreciate this more than you know!! 😊
@@DerbyCityRC Hell I figure you earned the 2$ just dancing for us lol! Always happy to show my support!
@Gamebit450 😆 and now all my neighbors put “for sale” signs out in their front yard 😂😂
Bro I Fu!@#s your vids! Straight to the point 👉🏼 with a little humor between, good insight on a lot of the smaller trucks and truggies. In witch I started ASS BACKWARDS! LOL, Started with 1/8 scale, but I find smaller scale alot more fun easier and cheaper. Anyways, you're the only channel I'm subscribed to. And I watch them all. Kudos 👏🏼!!!
Evan is the dude .
Really appreciate that man! I definitely like having all the sizes but I’m right there with ya. When I get a 1/10 scale or higher out, it’s like a “treat.” Typically run 1/16-1/12 because I can worry less about breaking. Super cool man I appreciate that 🤜💥🤛
Thanks dude! 😊
How do get the front end to stop nose diving when jumping it jumps funny I have the aluminum green version I tried ramping it but it always nose dives almost instantly and lands badly
Ya I think I mentioned that in my review video or the comparison video against the hbx 2997a. I didn’t notice it doing that with these upgrades so it could be a small amount of drag brake in the esc. You can counteract it by blipping the trigger in mid air. Just learning to time that throttle blip. All cars feel different.
*attenborough voice: here we see the goblinator majestically soaring through the open skies
😆🤣 Not as majestic once it hits the ground form those heights 😂
Happy Father’s Day all 😊
Thanks and you too!! 😃
Any recommendation on a shorty pack that fits in the stock spot? I NEED another battery. Me and my son crush the one pack too quick.
What about the ones I showed in this video? They worked perfectly. I have the direct Amazon link in the description
@@DerbyCityRCoh my gosh 🤦🏼♂️ I guess I didn’t pay attention. Haha.
@chrisperrywv 😂😂 Saul Goodman!
That wheel taking flight 😂 yo- just ordered mine. Did you sort out that bolt that always bends on the shock tower?
Also- video recommendation- you should consider grabbing an ND filter for your GoPro for broad daylight- your shaded backyard clips look great). I don’t have a modern GoPro but I feel like it would make the visuals a little less crunchy. I could totally be wrong. I always enjoy the content.
Haha, right!? Yes I put another new bolt in it. Worked well just took a big hit in that corner.
That’s good info as I know nothing about filters and such. Where does the video look crunchy? Like always or in certain areas? I do my best to stay away from the shadows. Where I really need help is close up shots. They’re so blurry. Like when less than a foot away. Maybe it’s just the camera but it’s the DJI Osmo Action 4. Surely that can be better. Lol
@@DerbyCityRC crunchy in the broad daylight (to my eye at least) it has to do with the shutter speed- the camera opens and closes the shutter very very fast to compensate for so much light to not overexpose the frames. When you add an ND filter it’s kind of like putting sunglasses on the camera allowing the shutter to stay open a bit longer. Technically it makes it a little blurrier (most ion blur) but it also looks more natural when you get the number right. The general rule of thumb is 2x your frame rate for shutter speed- looks like you shoot 60fps so your shutter speed should be 1/120th of a second to get “natural” or “cinematic” looking video. These are guidelines- and the videos aren’t bad looking- just a bit crucnchy. lol. A 32 or 64 would probably work in that sunlight (I’m guessing- I don’t have that camera but my magic air 2s needs a 64 in broad daylight but I don’t shoot 60fps so 32 probably would do).
Sorry for the info dump. You don’t need to do anything. Only a suggestion.
@chrisperrywv Thanks for the good info man. I’ve been considering shooting 30fps. Would that help anything or be worse in some ways?
@@DerbyCityRC that’s largely personal preference. You’ve got the right order down- your content is compelling so anything further is icing on the cake. 24fps is traditionally what movies are shot in so if you ever wanted to do some cinematic sequences that’s the spot - but you have to nail down the shutter speed like I said before or it won’t turn out right(I’m not familiar with using DJI action cams so I’m not sure if there is a manual mode. If there is you’d want to set it to 100 ISO, 60 fps and 1/120 shutter speed, or 30fls 1/60 shutter speed or 24 fps 1/50 shutter speed and then get an ND filter that lowers the exposure enough where nothing is peaking, meaning getting it dark enough so that the image isn’t all white and over exposed).
30fps is traditionally used in tv shows, specifically soaps, and 60 (or more) is what sports are shot in. I’d say 60fps suits your content, but like some of your shots for your RLAARLO Jurassic video would have looked sick in 24fps.
Bottom line and for simplicity sake I think your style suits 60 fps.
@chrisperrywv awesome info, thanks again and I will try to find that filter 😃
Real dads wear vintage Beavis n’ Butthead t shirts. Happy Father’s Day !!! Stay cool!!
Absolutely they do! I need to catch up on the newest episodes 😂
Thanks dude!!
What drill is that?
I have this kit. This is the brushless one, I don’t think mine is brushless but it’s on sale for less than the brushed! amzn.to/3Vr0UHy
Do you have the link for the exact combo or esc atleast that you used? Thanks
Unfortunately it’s obsolete now. Even on the Hobbywing website the exact kit is not listed. The esc looks physically bigger on the newer version. It’s the Max10 EZRun system.
@@DerbyCityRC oh okay, I’m new to the electronic stuff but is 120 amps enough for 4s? I seen some guy only change the esc to run 4s and he went 58 mph
Oh yeah , I bent my chassis too 😂and a front arm pin
Ouch! Dang ! 😂😂 were you able to bend back?
Guys , does anybody knows whats the lowest teeth pinion which can fit to carbon edition motor mount ? The stock is 24T will 19T fit ?
When I did this, I remember noticing how close the motor shaft was able to get to the spur gear without a pinion gear installed. I think a 19 will work.
do you reccomend this as a good first 1/10 scale basher? i have a smaller wltoys and want a bigger basher, would you recommend this over something like a rival mt10 or arrma granite?
It’s a good choice, but it’s not truly a 1/10 scale. It’s excellent quality in my opinion but with a few wear points like I mentioned in this video. The granite is the fastest of those options, and the Omni is the slowest but also has alot of upgrade potential. For size and speed, the granite. For size and handling, rival. For smoothest driving and the most adjustability and less cost, the Omni. That’s one way to try to describe it. They’re all quite different and it’s hard to say which is better. Also the bigger two will have better parts availability for now.
@@DerbyCityRC yea honestly I don’t care too much about it being smaller, I honestly think it looks cooler than the granite and mt10 but only thing I’m worried about is spare parts shipping time, I’ll probably go with the mt10 first then get this after, I do like how you can buy so many upgrades for it
Yup! Some of the parts for the terminator are showing up on Amazon so might be better availability real soon. Mt10 and Omni are awesome cars to get so I like your thinking!
@@DerbyCityRC yea I seen that, I’ll keep my eye on it, thanks again man I subbed
somethings you can't unsee, and I think goblin style is one for sure 😢
Sometimes things you can’t unsee are good things you’ve seen. Goblin dancing is definitely a scene that’s good to be seen!
Haha yeah that's a great way to take that comment, love the positivity, not so much the dance moves. 😂
@Andykb-nz 😂😂 No one said goblins can dance. Its probably a distraction while the others work their diabolical plan.
Happy Father's Day! Another awesome video. Does your alien friend have a name?
Thanks! You too, if applicable! Thanks!
No he’s never introduced himself. He’s like the odd neighbor that just pulls up a lawn chair to watch you cut your grass and gives unwelcome commentary about the weird fungus in his nostrils. No name, just a nuisance! Try to start a normal conversation, and he backs away slowly likes he’s trying not to awaken a sleeping bear.
I have those bigger tires on my traxxas hoss and they spun the hex they look so good but don't hold up to powerr
I’ve run these quite a bit but always on 1/12 scales. I can see them not holding up to anything with a lot of power.
Hosim Power, Hosim Speed, Hosim Tough, Hosim Fun !!!
😆😂🤣 I was wondering where my Hosim Bro went. You missed a few 😂
I have the same awesome issue of not being able to give it full power, 60 mph was the highest I could get so far
Definitely difficult on a monster truck style vehicle that air can get under easily. Lol 60 is awesome. What setup do you have in it?
I have a hobbywing 120 w the 3660 4000 kv combo, it can do 4s but run times are shorter
@bronxsavage1641 sweet. The 3300 hw I put in is obsolete now. About 3 years old and been in like 3 other projects now lol.

I’m going to try to get my hands on that car soon. One of my most common RCs I get requested to review lol
Thanks! 😊
Gotta find a way to fix the cvd cups from wearing out, ive almost completely ate through them and my kids are having the same issue with theirs,
if only we could put the H14BM cvd's on the terminator,,,, they are too short, I've tried.
Does yours have the new S2 units installed or still stock?
@@DerbyCityRC they are still stock.
@davidkanoff110 gotcha. When it’s time to replace, be sure to use the upgraded ones. Still reports of those wearing too but not as quickly. Hopefully they make more changes. It’s definitely the biggest complaint.
@@DerbyCityRC what camera and GPS do you use for FPV on your rc cars? Been looking for something but the ones I've found just look to bulky. Thanks!
@davidkanoff110 this is what I use for the FPV. Just need a better way to mount it more securely. amzn.to/4baPTQk
I don’t care much for that gps even though it’s done well with all the crashes it’s survived-ish, but I just for this one I’ll be testing in the next video or two. This one gets the most praise for accuracy: amzn.to/4ba4XxF
It’s got to be the tires bro… I run mine on 4s with the stock motor. But I jump mine and I don’t get bounce
Yup! The tires were a big part of it!
Awesome video and upgrades!
I really like this car and was thinking about getting one, but their "marketing" and customer care really turns me off. Right now they have "Anniversary sale" but they just increased the prices so the "discounted" ones are they same as before the sale. E.g. terminator metal version is now advertised with "original price" of 269.99, discounted to 199.99, which is what it always was!!!
I emailed them about this and they kept insisting that it was always 269.99, even when I sent them screenshots with 199.99 price from before the sale. Really not cool... :(
Thanks man!! I know…that’s why I chose not to share this sale. Now they have always shown a “regular” price of 269, but it’s never actually been that price. It’s always marked out and has been either 199 or 219 pretty much all the time, so I agree their marketing tactics definitely blow. It seriously is an awesome car and in my opinion and from what else I’ve driven, nothing else compares in that size group. (1/12). The closest would probably be an HPI SX flux but I just didn’t care for mine too much and it’s quite a bit more money if I remember correctly. The amount of complaints rlaarlo gets on this stuff you’d think they’d stop but maybe they know something we don’t?… lol
@@DerbyCityRC Thanks man, I really appreciate your honest and thorough reviews! I will probably get over their "tactics" and order one anyway.
I might need to stop watching your videos for a while though! I just ordered MJX 14210 (I got a $85 deal on aliexpress with 3s battery included, so couldn't really pass on that) and I am already thinking about Terminator. Good thing HBX 2997a is not available in EU yet! lol
@bodom321 you’re welcome!! Nooooo! 😂 just lock up your wallet lol
The terminator is on Amazon by the way: amzn.to/45S7Z95
Though it’s not quite $199.
I’d say if you get the terminator, you don’t need the 2997a anyway 😅 lol
@@DerbyCityRC when MJX arrives my wife will lock up my wallet for me lol!
You sold me on terminator though, might need to wait a moment, but definitely will get one!
@bodom321 😂!
Ya and hopefully it will go all the way back to $199!!
