Of all the bajillion videos that are about to drop of this rc, Derby City’s was my most anticipated!! I doubt I’ll pick one up, but just watching Evan work over a newly released rc is something special to behold 🤣 Best mix of info, entertainment, and durability testing on the internet 👍

[@DerbyCityRC]

Dude I appreciate that! I make reviews and videos the way I’d want to see them so I’m just glad that others agree! Thanks a ton for the awesome comment! 🔥

I agree with this one. I love your content man. Your kids always around makes it super relatable to me with my kids always hanging around too. I’m new to the hobby and your channel is the best one I’ve found. Keep up the good work!!

You did an excellent review. It was thorough and it was a great durability test. It's an impressive truck. The way. it absorbed the landings off a jump is great. It handled very well.

Good test Evan, i found it interesting you got under 60kph with the 19t pinion changed over when i ended up getting just over 60kph with the already installed 16t when i speed tested mine. I agree the shocks are tuned perfect on this rig and overall quality is great for an under $200 basher👍

I wouldn’t choose this over the granite or the vorteks or the MT10, but this and the HBX 2997a, there’s nothing that comes to mind that I’ve got that is better up until you hit $330. Pretty awesome!

I love that Rlaarlo went with their own design on this and didn’t copy WLtoys or XD. Which is where they usually start their designs from and then improve them. I think that 45amp esc should of a 50-60 amp which is probably why a lower c rated battery doesn’t last long. It seems like the esc is made to draw lots of hi capacity juice. I really like this . Wish that blacked out body would an option with the metal version. The carbon version is already special enough.LoL! Love that idea the young minion gave you! That was awesome! As alway Even, it’s fun, entertaining and great to get your honest perspective . Take it easy brother!

[@DerbyCityRC]

You’re welcome! For a controlled power slide, the HNR Panther!! lol I don’t have any of the Corallys, but my favorite from these is the WOV, mainly for the size and power. This little guy here will definitely get plenty of run time too. For you doing epic power slides, which both of those trucks do well at, and no big jumps, I would lower the suspension on this one. You shouldn’t be disappointed with either one.

[@treowayne]

I've seen the entry rug covering on your workbench in a few videos. How do you like it? I imagine you chose that material for low cost, reduction of scratches on workpieces, and because it looks like it might do a good job of "catching" small screws so they don't bounce off the bench and onto the floor. Does that work out to be true? I screw around with 3D printers in my basement and a work surface that could catch screws could be really nice if it works.

[@DerbyCityRC]

It’s not bad. It does have some “rubbery” grip to it, but kinda hard to brush off. I usually vacuum it when it gets dirty because it holds dirt and debris. I kinda think I’d like diamond plate metal more, but this material is pretty good for the application.

I’m back to give my honeymoon phase opinion of the carbon fiber version . I learned how to do a mesh right by feel and not paper and keep it squared and go around the whole wheel in case of intolerances . I must have had it cok eyed a little because that’s how it wore . I did it more than a few times too checking the two pinions . Hardly noticed a difference so leave it alone ! There s a turbo boost button on the side of the controller ch4 , it has its own spot in the reciever too ch4 , whatever button to hood when turning on and doing the gyro has a 30% increase to top speed , some new turbo thing nobody mentioned . It’s in the manual . And that extra little wire is to stick in the balance and back into the receiver box to get battery voltage . That’s all that’s been new around here and work and the rlaarlo 1/14 brushless truggy . I was going to get the 11/2 desert buggy . What do you think for $160 ? Something else ?

Cannot wait to see you put a more powerful motor in it. Will it be from the Carbon Fiber version 3650-2650kv motor?

[@DerbyCityRC]

I’m excited too! Might be roughly that size, but it won’t be that motor.

[@joeytravis1953]

What size it the Alan driver you use to remove the lock screw in the 16 t gear to install the speed gear the one included just spins wont back the screw out

[@DerbyCityRC]

It was either a 2mm or 2.5mm if my memory is correct.

[@EJ-74]

Pretty cool, I really wish they would've made it a true 1/10 scale though, it would've been so much better imo, it's still a cool little truck though. and yeah you will tend to hit the brake when its coming right at your face 😂🤣

[@DerbyCityRC]

I agree! What’s funny is when they first sent me info about it, they said it would be a 1/13 scale (undersized). Then all of a sudden it was a small 1/10 lol. Just call it what it is, but yes still a good truck! Haha, ya a truck with a metal chassis called the terminator, you do not want near your face! Lol

I am super interested in the raffle for the black hbx 🤩 my son loves the look of it!

Good luck dude! I’ll definitely have more raffles, but ya it’s good car worth having.

[@aimbob115]

@@DerbyCityRC I am looking for 1:10 scale for me and before doing any quick moves with the omni terminator a wonder what MJX is going to deliver with the 10208. Have you heard about that one?

[@DerbyCityRC]

@aimbob115 I have not!! Holy smokes, I gotta look that up! Figured it was coming.

[@KahnabusX420]

Awesome Vid. Got one question, you said it's your favorite under 250, but how does it compare in general to the 2997a or any of your other favorite cars?

[@DerbyCityRC]

It’s very similar to the 2997a. Performance is really close, though I think the hbx might have been slightly faster. I have a feeling the rlaarlo may have a slight upper hand in durability but time will tell that. Rlaarlo also wins in other places like a more adjustable motor mount, heavier chassis bracing, sealed diffs. They both took some gnarly crashes and it was much colder out when I ran the HBX and broke it (If I remember right anyway). Might do a comparison video between them. My favorites above these two are all bigger like the outcast and Mojave, that new WOV, so totally different trucks. Then close runner up to the 2997 and terminator would be the Suchiyu models.

[@KahnabusX420]

@@DerbyCityRC Excellent. I just ordered the carbon fiber model. Supposes to come with a bigger motor.

[@DerbyCityRC]

@KahnabusX420 yup it’s the 3650 motor 👍👍

[@benlandrum75]

Hey Evan. I always look forward to your reviews. You rock man! I'm definitely interested in the raffle. I ordered this Terminator and I had a question. I was going to order the 17mm hex upgrade and 2.8 badlands. What do you think?

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks, really appreciate that! That sounds like it would be super cool. I’d definitely say bigger motor though if you got the aluminum unit, but ya I bet it would be epic!

[@benlandrum75]

@DerbyCityRC Thanks man. What size motor would work well and would I need to upgrade the esc?

[@DerbyCityRC]

If you got the carbon fiber version, it comes with the 60 amp, so I would try it first as it should be able to handle a great motor on 3s. If you went with the aluminum version, id probably upgrade the esc too. I’d likely still go with a 3652 ish size, but probably more like a 3300 kv. Oh and the raffle is live!

[@benlandrum75]

@DerbyCityRC Thanks man. I got the aluminum version so what size esc should I go with you think?

[@DerbyCityRC]

@benlandrum75 I’d say no less than 60 amps. This one looks pretty good, but there’s two things I don’t know. One is if this esc will fit in the stock location, and also if the motor mount on the aluminum version will take a 36xx motor. I’m not sure if they’re different mounts to the CF version. amzn.to/3woFDWg

[@joeytravis1953]

Thanks for all your help I have one more question can the omni terminator run on an off road track or is it just strictly a basher I would like to race my brothers on the local rc track they have traxxas slashes 1/10 scale ,also how do I get the omni rc to handle better ? At higher speeds

[@DerbyCityRC]

You’re welcome! Ya this car could definitely do well on the track. You would want to tune the suspension but absolutely! Rlaarlo even has paddle tires along with many upgrades available. Including adjustable upper control arms for changing the camber angle: rlaarlo.com/collections/rlaarlo-rz001-parts?ref=ml6gV9o7

[@codiekennedy-lt2kz]

i believe you have had the 917/787 and the terminator. Which would you say is the best value for money? I know it comes down to bashing vs on road as per preference. Ive done both just curious on the value for money bc i only have money for one atm.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Actually I have not had either of those. I was hoping to get one before this speed competition that Rlaarlo is putting on but I just won’t have time, so I can’t say so for sure. However my guess would be the Omni. It’s really well done for the most part. Just cant say for sure.

[@joshuafreeman9792]

Any recommendations on were to get a new body for the holyton 920se after.my upgrade. I destroyed it. Gona try the shoegu tip on a new one

[@DerbyCityRC]

I’ve always gotten parts from pxtoysrc.com. They have most of the bodies and all the parts. Some of the bodies I’ve found on Amazon before too.

[@aliasangelalias]

Question, I have the Spektrum S2200 charger and the Supulse B3 V2 10W charger. Will I be able to charge the LIPO battery that comes with this OMNI Terminator truck?

[@DerbyCityRC]

It should. Just need to have an xt60 adapter and adjust it to 2.2 charging amps. 👍

[@joeytravis1953]

What stronger batteries can I use with out moving the transmiter

[@DerbyCityRC]

I’m not sure. The only other one I’ve tried was a Hosim battery, but those really aren’t any good. Just fake measurements of the battery tray and find a battery that fits. I personally like CNHL, Zeee, Gens Ace, and Hoovo for budget friendly batteries, but Ovonics are good too.

[@joeytravis1953]

Could you recommend new tires other than the ralarlo tires that would bolt on without an adapter the stock ones don't have much traction on an limerock road

[@DerbyCityRC]

I’m not sure which tires would be best for limerock unfortunately

[@woutervanwijk4369]

Is that ESC programmable? Seems to brake a bit on the..... aggressive side 🤷🏻

[@DerbyCityRC]

I don’t know honestly. I like the aggressive brakes but wouldn’t be opposed to turning them down a notch or two myself Lol

[@joeytravis1953]

What do I need to look for when buying a biger battery how high of a c rating and a mh rating can the metal omni terminator handle I know it can only go as high as 3s

[@DerbyCityRC]

The mah and c rating are not necessarily a rating that can be too high. I’d shoot for atleast 50c and with mah, that’s just relevant to the running time of the battery, so if it’s high, just periodically make sure you don’t have any electronics overheating from overuse.

[@MrShaw83]

Does your's drive straight? Mine doesn't, it veers to the right. Is it damaged out of the box, or can I make some adjustments?

[@DerbyCityRC]

Yes mine drives straight. There is a ST Trim knob on the controller you can adjust for straightness.

[@aliasangelalias]

On Rlaarlo's website they listed the amount they have in stock. I always get that fear of missing out but yet I don't want to over pay either. They have the Omni Termination Carbon Fiber version from $330 to now $250 (sure I know it is a marketing gimmick); but do think we will see this cheaper by the time it hit Amazon? Or buying the pre-sale is the better bargain? Your thoughts.

[@DerbyCityRC]

I really don’t know. Hopefully it doesn’t go up, as I feel they’re priced well. I wouldn’t be surprised if they go cheaper but I just have no clue. If they did it would likely be a while.

[@andrewstuart6885]

would love to get one. how well does it work as a crawler?

[@DerbyCityRC]

Well it’s not really designed that way, but with how high up it sits, it has decent ground clearance and you can turn the speed down to really slow so it might not be too bad at it.

[@andrewstuart6885]

@@DerbyCityRC thank you

[@mrzionist]

Surprised the body broke that easily.... Still looks like a fantastic car!

[@DerbyCityRC]

Ya I know lol. However they just recently informed me that the carbon fiber version uses a better material for the body. That version has a lot of extras this one doesn’t actually lol
