This is fun content, I'm a speed run noob myself and it's definitely a learning process. The way it wanders around makes me think the toe settings might be off.
I'm late to the party but the comment about gluing the servo saver solid is going in the right direction. The servo itself centers fine but the servo saver gets sticky. I over tightened mine when it started to act up and has been fine since.
You need to heat up almost every screw but its better than the alternative when $hit starts shaking off your car at 100mph. Nice to see they took the time to lock tight.
Turn your dual rate down to 30% Have a slight toe out on the front wheels. Use the throttle speed on the controller at 7 - 10 seconds. Change the pinion gears back over and get some passes in as you might be over-geared now.
I have my dual rate turned down to 7% now.. at least on my car even 10% was too much and it would snap left or right to fast. 7 at least for me seems to work on my tiny skinny road,…..lol
I had a similar problem with my tt02 car. Steering would not re center. I found that the servo arm (the stock servo saver) is quite long which gives a lot of swing with very little servo travel causing me to have my endpoints around 50 percent until the steering reached full lock. I removed the stock arm and swapped it for one about half as long. This acts as a force multiplier and gives the servo increased leverage against the steering rack effectively makng more torque. Now with the shorter arm, I needed more travel at the servo to lock out the steering. So my endpoints are now around 75%. The steering now recenters perfect without any other modifications. Something to try perhaps. Also, use about 50% expo on the steering channel so you can make tiny adjustments at high speed without twitching the car out. Cheers. Car looks great. I hope all that blingy aluminum doesn't bend into a pretzel in a crash though.
Your brave war exactly the opposite of mine. On yours, it's like they used red Loctite, whereas mine didn't have any Loctite. Regarding upgrade parts, is highly recommend NOT using the aluminum lower arms (front, or rear)...stick with the stock plastic part arms. The aluminum Rlaarlo is using is only 6061, not 7075. As for the other aluminum upgrades, go for it...but, at the same time, you're going to want to get the aluminum lower bulkheads for the front (should use them front & rear, not just rear). Something I'm trying to come up with is an alternate way for mounting the battery. The stock mount limits the dimensions too much, and using the straps through the chassis is NOT good (they will, sooner or later, fray when dragging on the ground). Other than that, good job. Maybe a quality servo should be the next upgrade. 🤙🏼
The same thing happens to me with the servo. I put low profile servo is more precise, the standard servo is more for bashing around. Low-profile servos have more precision, but you need to check the steering more adjustments to check how much play has that way you can make the play even for both sides. Believe me, the AK 917 has play on the steering
Nothing to do with the size of servo, but the motor and gearing contained within. a cheap poor low profile will be just as bad as a cheap standard sized servo. the car probably needs a better servo saver or even better a horn and a proper setup with the correct toe settings, as well as droop settings as a car with no upwards travel on the suspension can never settle properly and will just bobble along making it even twichier as wheels become unloaded much faster when an input is made. So Gav will be better off running a higher ride height with some droop than a lower one with none.
Great vid mate. There was so much hype for this and I cant help but feel Rlaarlo haven't delivered 100%. We were promised an out the box 100mph+ machine with little to no effort to make that happen. Sort of like every RC hobbyists dream. They sold it to us early on and unfortunately its not quite doing as promised. I had range issues resulting in a crash in march and like you I received my bag of shiny metal goodies but not the actual spares I needed (Which I ordered with my own money and was promised they would be sent alongside the bling) this didn't happen. They are going ahead with the speed event even though a huge amount of people dont even have the car yet.. What Rlaarlo? Their logistics department have crippled themselves and this was all down to the intense hype/promises of this chassis. Parts are there and in stock but not being shipped and neither are the rollers/Ready to runs. Shame as I have supported them since they started but I do feel let down this time. No amount of metal bling will change my mind unfortunately. Hopefully you smash that 110mph you want to achieve but judging by other vids and what people are saying its not as easy to achieve as we were all lead to believe. Good luck with it mate!
Yep, I hear shipping logistics has been a real issue for people. I'm even sending out one of my AK parts to someone who broke an upright as his car has been down for ages now.
If u have a soldering gun get it hot and hold it to heads of those 4 screws for a few mins that has the Loctite on them that ur having trouble getting out or if they strip on you. Then take ur Dremel tool with a thin cutting disk and cut a single line across and deep enough than each side levels off with the crabon then u can take a flat head or flat blade screw driver and that should back it off. Which normally just doing that will get them off but thats only if u dont have more screws to replace it with. But im sure u already know all of this idk why i even mentioned it
Yes! She is Pretty😂 And NO! Ur not going to break it, from what ive seen ur a pretty good driver. I know that u have came a long way in RC. I remember back when u first started ur channel u was all about stick lever Radios and Nickel Metal Batteries.
Gav, I'd say that's not necessarily the servo, but geometry. With the right caster and camber the steering should be self centring as it is in a real car to some extent.
I'm doing the exact same upgrades you did , only I haven't gotten them from Rlarrlo yet. I have gotten my foam tires for it, as well as a really nice quality servo along with a better reciever for range and a gyro so I can keep it straight. I got the bigger 6s motor that they offer as well and am planning on running it with a Hobbywing Max 6. Going to have to make alot of adjustments to get it straight as an arrow before I even think of putting in a 6s battery. It's going to be a slow methodical process for sure. But thats half the fun. Love watching your videos and always look forward to them when a new one comes out. Keep up the great work Gavin. 👍
like the bling been waiting over two weeks for mine to arrive so far I've seen this car crash more times than a speed run begining to think this car is more hype than it has speed
@@RCKickschannel have seen quite a few with modified front IE little wings home made splitters might be too much air lifting will try that on mine soon
Yes all free. You can see the servo is on the way out when you move the steering around on the table. It doesn't have enough power to return to the centre like it did in the beginning. It's taken a few hits so I'm sure that didn't help lol.
Can anyone help me I order my Rlarrlo on 4th April and I still had no delivery turn up. I message them a few times and you get no reply. What can I do please?
I apologize for so many comments😂this is my last one. And u probably wont read any of them anyways.😂 But thats just how I do it. When i get to a part of a video where i want to make a comment I pause it say what im going to say them continue with the video. Thats so i can remember instead of waiting until the end. And also the first thing i do when i start to watch any video is hit the like button for 2 reasons 1 thats so i will see right away that ive watched that video already and 2 its only right! If yall take the time to make a video and do everything thats involved with that. Rather if i liked what the video was about or not. I still hit the like button. And as far as the power switch goes just take the switch out and solder those two wires together then it will turn off and on when pluging the battery up. Which is alot better for the car and battery. Because then u don't forget to unplug the battery when ur done running it. Like we all do from time to time😂
Turn down the steering. I need a two lane road to be able to turn the RC around. Find a better road that’s at least two lanes with no curbs. Good luck brother
I tried that and it didn't stop the wondering, if anything it made things worse. Like you say, you don't want much from the steering when you are moving that fast.
I thought that car came with a gyro already installed on it? if not that's all you need is a cheap gyro it doesn't need to be anything expensive if she's going to pull the wheels back true and also correct itself if it starts to spin out as long as you don't set it to high. Then it will overcorrect too fast and u will wreck on the opposite side u thought u was going to wreck on😂😂
Can I have your chain not that I really want it but I really do know I could wear a necklace everyday I say it's very special to me I lost my chain Erica's Mom and Dad threw it away I had a little man on it your choice
You could say that about most upgrades for RC LOL. FYI RUclipsrs get products sent to them, but don't think two days of your time is free, as thats what it takes to film, edit and release a video. Let's not forget all the studio equipment, editing software, computers to name just a few expenses.
I have never seen so many people that have bad input give such an experienced hobbiest suggestions. Its like one lecture after another with horrible information. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
This is fun content, I'm a speed run noob myself and it's definitely a learning process. The way it wanders around makes me think the toe settings might be off.
Currently front toe out is 1.5 deg

There’s no need to take the 8 top screws off. 4 underneath that screw into plastic makes it way easier
I use a lighter and it works well aswell
Yes! She is Pretty😂 And NO! Ur not going to break it, from what ive seen ur a pretty good driver. I know that u have came a long way in RC. I remember back when u first started ur channel u was all about stick lever Radios and Nickel Metal Batteries.
Put a AGFRC programmable servo in it Gav, You can then true it up via a computer.
1:03 knuckle or steering spindle
1:22 rear uprights or uprights
2:01 rear bulkhead
😅
Awesome vid, can’t wait for more power, servo replacement and foams!
You need a nice big car park to run it in, that road is just to narrow.
the road might not be flat the country lanes usually dip at the sides only a bit but your car will follow the dip
I hate that when servos dont center when you let go of steering.did you replace with a better quality metal servo?
Yep
Gav, I'd say that's not necessarily the servo, but geometry. With the right caster and camber the steering should be self centring as it is in a real car to some extent.
If you turn the steering to one side and release it, the wheels don't return to the middle.
@@RCKickschannel with no load on it? Wow yeah that’s not good.
Brilliant channel
Did you use loctite on the front steering HUBS?
I know this is a 1 year old video. It seems like i have been waiting that long for my parts to upgrade my 787 and 917
kindly sent you some upgrades lol all the stuff i have in my cart but my wife wont let me get because i just got the roller
A sale is currently on for parts, so you could save a few $$. I picked up the missing front diff supports as I only received one set.

what foams did you go for?
@@RCKickschannel I went with BSR Racing purple foams. They should more than handle the speeds I'm planning on giving them.
like the bling been waiting over two weeks for mine to arrive so far I've seen this car crash more times than a speed run begining to think this car is more hype than it has speed
It’s a 1/10th so not as easy to speed run as the bigger cars due to the wheelbase
@@RCKickschannel have seen quite a few with modified front IE little wings home made splitters might be too much air lifting will try that on mine soon
Do you checked the steering moves freely? You should put in a better servo and maybe a gyro. Keep it up
Yes all free. You can see the servo is on the way out when you move the steering around on the table. It doesn't have enough power to return to the centre like it did in the beginning. It's taken a few hits so I'm sure that didn't help lol.
The road isn't wide enough, have you got an athletics track near you.
glue your servo saver solid
I will just remove it
Can anyone help me I order my Rlarrlo on 4th April and I still had no delivery turn up. I message them a few times and you get no reply. What can I do please?
I ordered mine on the first an I'm still waitin too. So ya aint alone i assure ya . I cant wait to get my mits on this thing.

lol gold's pretty soft, don't think I'd use that gear in the car ;)
LOL
Did you adjust your dual rate
Yep
try turning down the steering rate for high speed runs
Yep did that on day one 👍🏻
Turn down the steering. I need a two lane road to be able to turn the RC around. Find a better road that’s at least two lanes with no curbs. Good luck brother
I tried that and it didn't stop the wondering, if anything it made things worse. Like you say, you don't want much from the steering when you are moving that fast.
Whats your target speed?
110mph
I thought that car came with a gyro already installed on it? if not that's all you need is a cheap gyro it doesn't need to be anything expensive if she's going to pull the wheels back true and also correct itself if it starts to spin out as long as you don't set it to high. Then it will overcorrect too fast and u will wreck on the opposite side u thought u was going to wreck on😂😂
Stop. Fix the servo/stering
