    Only 1 O-ring ? No wonder the socks are leaking. A few other reviewers had the same leaks. Glad you found the issue though.

    Thanks for the tip on the shocks. Only about 30 minutes of run time total on mine and 3 out 4 shocks have leaked down. Also had the joy of rear end locking up and back half of drive shaft falling out. No parts were lost or damaged and Loctite is now on the pinion gear retaining screw.

    Great little tips! This car's a beautiful beast!
    Now there's a mod I'm dying to find if it's "possible" or not... Do you know if, like other brands, Rlaarlo has hidden a regular Jeep grill under that ugly angry face?? That would make this rig even more interesting!
    I really enjoyed your running video, driving and filming up that mountain must have been a handful!! Big effort! 💪👏👏👏
    I'm rooting for Rlaarlo, they've been releasing some very interesting RCs. I do hope they overcome the problems they had in the past and conquer a spot in the market.

      @@just.jose.youtube that’s again! I really think Rlaarlo are taken in all the comments and suggestions received and will continue to improve.
      As for the grill of the Mk07 i think it’s a single piece, so unsure of any removal pieces to reduce the angry eyes.
      Yes that mountain was indeed tough on the mk07 and myself.
      Thank you so much for watching and supporting.
      I really appreciate it.

    Most shocks especially crawler have 2 o-rings. A single o-ring is going to leak very easily. Not surprising at all that your shocks leaked.

      There’s plenty of brass weight options that can be added. Wheel weights, portal covers , bumper mounts etc. All will add weight low down improving handling and lowering c.o.g.
      They can be purchased on the Rlaarlo website .

    What weight shock oil did ya end up using? AlSo link to orings?

    • @rcexpatshk
      @rcexpatshk  4 месяца назад

      I ended up using a 400 shock oil.
      Any P5 o ring will work. You will find you can only fit one into the space. X-ring although technically better is too small and there’s no compression to fill the gap. Hence leaks.
      Try this one:
