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

Some helpful quick MK07 mods and tips there, thanks for sharing and have a good weekend! 👍🏻

[@rcexpatshk]

Cheers Dave! Have a great weekend. Stay safe . 👍🏼

thanks for sharing

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.

Nice..!

[@AllInRc1971]

Very cool sir. Driving 300 miles today to pick up my first of five I bought.

[@rcexpatshk]

5? I had to re-read that 😂. I hope the other 4 arrive together then to save you more trips . Hope you enjoy them

[@AllInRc1971]

@@rcexpatshk , the first one is going to be a speed build. Hoping for 120kmh on 6s.

[@rcexpatshk]

@AllInRc1971 that’ll be epic !

Hi, may i know where can i get the Pinion Gear to increase the speed of my MK07? Thanks!

[@rcexpatshk]

@@chileungchow125 you should be able to get one from any of your local hobby store or online. You will need Mod 1 8mm bore pinion with whatever tooth count you want.

[@ChrisDavis-eq9lj]

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.

[@rcexpatshk]

@@ChrisDavis-eq9lj hopefully the last of your issues with it. The shocks are an easy fix at least.

[@aknmtbr]

Thoughts on putting in a 4s brushed esc on this? Exocagged made it look like 4s was a sweet spot

[@rcexpatshk]

That would be a more expensive and advanced mod yes. I was looking at cheap and easy mods… Thanks for the suggestion though . Appreciated 👍🏼

[@shuster1921]

Sorry about your eye, but like she said, No means No!😅😂🤣

[@rcexpatshk]

Still no need for violence ! 😜

[@jfbaro2]

Is there any sound kit to be added to it? So It can simulate the engine sound?

[@rcexpatshk]

The ess one or ess dual can be fitted. There is space to mount it and make it work.

[@jfbaro2]

What can I do to make its center of gravity even close to the ground? I want it to be used for rock crawling

[@rcexpatshk]

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 .

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.

[@rcexpatshk]

@@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.

[@just.jose.youtube]

@@rcexpatshk (about the grill: Yikong (whose models are rebranded by Absima here in Europe) has a similar Jeep model on a 1/10 and 1/8 scale (Yikong 4102 and 4082 I believe) with the same ugly angry faces. 😛 I have the 1/10 version and, under the angry grill mask, which is supported from the back by two screws, the lexan body has a vertically slotted, beautiful, Jeep-like grill. 😁)

[@aknmtbr]

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

[@rcexpatshk]

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: www.amainhobbies.com/hb-racing-oring-p5-black-4-hbs66595/p6805

[@aknmtbr]

Thanks! It’ll prob be forever before my rig shows up but it’ll be worth it!

[@rcexpatshk]

@@aknmtbr 😞 yeah sea freight takes forever. You’re gonna love it when you receive though. It’s love at first sight.

[@aknmtbr]

@@rcexpatshkmine will take even longer because they won’t ship sea to Alaska. Going to ship to Washington and then have a freight forwarder ship to me.

[@rcexpatshk]

@@aknmtbr ouch!
