[@skylar1112]

The center driveshaft on the CF is different than the metal. CF is a split 2 piece, where as the metal is a one piece design. I think that could affect the potential rubbing of the driveshaft.

[@JohnRobinsonRC]

Ah that makes a lot more sense then. Thank you so much for that info! 😊👌

[@JeepITguy]

They removed the front film to apply stickers. Jesus, think it through.

[@CrazyQuadBrothersP3]

The clear chassis shaped plastic is a protector to protect underneath chassis from getting scratched up.

[@JohnRobinsonRC]

Yeah found that out afterwards. Not sure how effective it will be though. Saying that I am going to install it. 😂😂

[@CrazyQuadBrothersP3]

@@JohnRobinsonRC Yeah I’m sure after a few bottoming outs it’ll rip off or scratch threw it but well… 😃

Just finished the video and it's more than I was expecting. I'll just change the radio because I have a Radiolink RC6GS that I already use with my AM-X12. Can't say too much... it's BEAUTIFUL! Also, GREAT idea about the stickers, I think I'll do the same. Thank you for the amaizing content, mate!

attention to details and its look owesome....the brake calipper what impressed me most...love the design and the stickers....look really2 nice....surely gonna have spare tires....it worn out fast if u wanna reach 200kmh mark...

[@JohnRobinsonRC]

Hi and yes I agree with you for sure. The tires have a carbon belt to help the tire at top speed. But for wear i thought the same. I should order a spare set or two now. 😂👌😊

[@sbass32]

So jealous you have yours lol. Mine will arrive someday soon.

[@JohnRobinsonRC]

Well I had a small crash and suddenly its not a runner anymore... 😂 You will have to wait until the video release to know what happened. 😂😂😁👌😎😎😎

[@aaronboulton4896]

Awsome unboxing! I think this may be the best new car for 2023. We shall see. I bought the same carbon fiber as you. I think the gulf livery looks awsome! Can't wait to see the speed runs.

[@scottyahol]

Great video. Thanks for the info. Could you please make a video on how to change the spur gear since most will be doing this. Keep up the great work 👍🏻👍🏻

[@JohnRobinsonRC]

I will as soon as possible. It's a bit of a pain apparently as the rear differential casing has to be opened unfortunately. I will get to it ASAP as soon as I have learnt it. 😂😂👍🏼

[@austinscars8588]

Congrats on being the first to un-box this. Looks great but limited opportunities to use. ❤

Yeah Tomley beat me by 30 minutes. 😁😁 Agreed considering the onroad however now I have seen it I think it will be fine on any roads.

I have the metal roller arriving and was amongst the first 200 orders ! but Iwish I could have got the carbon fibre,but with additional import duties and taxes I couldnt risk it...but I am so tempted !

Awesome congrats I’d like to see how it would go with 6s dare 8s esc motor combo

[@sch0neDK]

So nice . I was able to order one 🙂

[@gantry289]

First off that you for the helpful email for my 124017. This looks like a super car but a tad out of my price range. Speaking of that I was curious if Rlaarlo sent you that car as a review model or if you outright bought it? Don't remember you saying...

[@benabnjm4828]

Hi john I ordered the 129 $ roller than look at what it would cost to upgrade it .I changed order too the 299$ RTR now I will try one of my castle motors 5700 kv or 7700 kv .Cant wait should fly and they make metal up grade parts .

@@JohnRobinsonRC haha

[@letzvisit1661]

Such a lovely looking car John! All that beautiful carbon looks fantastic and well made. I can’t wait to see how this car performs out the box. I wonder what speeds it will achieve. Will you be doing a video where you fit different motors that are available for it for the ultimate top speed ?

[@R-EVLMNKY]

The insert is blocking the shot John, we know it’s you😅

[@gerardosoler8935]

The car looks amazing 🔥🔥🔥

[@kimranlawrence8034]

Nice rig John. Keep on doing your rc vids . Even if it's Chinese models I love it .

[@alans4281]

I am old enough to remember associated RC 1/12 scale and Pro 10 from early 1980 . This thing has lots of unnecessary extra scale equipment. Not sure why it has a spare tire, tail lights etc etc . To my eyes it’s confused because it claims a high top speed but also tries to look scale.

[@JohnRobinsonRC]

Hi there and I see your point. However I think what they have done is made it look good for those that want that. And for those wanting speed runs then they can remove the unnecessary weight if they like. So catering for both basically. 😊👌 Speed ran it today on a drag strip and it wasn't slow even with the spare wheel. 😊😊

[@hovan2yourjunk]

Can you PLEASE link the Gulf stickers?

[@andrataylor6070]

Nice!!! Im waiting for mine to come...the blue and red carbon fiber i order..is esc 120 or 160? Thanks!!💪🏿

Thats a beautifull car John. I love Porsches! 🎉 im out of my road car phase, but would love to have that car as a shelf queen! Cant wait to see it run. They clame 120 mph? Cant wait to see that.

[@JohnRobinsonRC]

Yeah the Porsche 917 was beautiful. Especially for it's time. 125 MPH top speed. We have been given permission to run at the drag racing track so hopefully we can get near that. I am a little sceptical but even 160-180 for 299 usd isn't a bad deal. Have a lovely evening. 😊👌

It's nice and all, but not terribly different than a pan car. I just don't see it going 130mph/200kph. Surely it will be fast, but are the tires up to those kind of speeds?

[@ramonmerayonunez6097]

I am going to tell you about my experience with this garbage car and this garbage brand, I bought the Rlaarlo ak 917 carbon fiber version, and the first thing when making the purchase I bought it with fast shipping paying 19 euros more for said shipping, supposedly it arrived in a week, well, lie, it took me 20 days to arrive, when it arrived it arrived with the steering out of adjustment, with one wheel facing one side and the other facing the opposite side, after looking closely at the car I realized that the screw that The connection between the servo arm and the servo horn was loose, and then I realized that one of the two small screws that the servo horn has is missing. In addition, this car has a serious signal loss problem. I am writing to the support. technician of this garbage brand, and until today they have been giving me my time, they say that the missing screw is too small to send it, anyone who buys this car forgets to be able to return it is impossible, they brag that they have good technical support and it is a garbage, just like the customer treatment, I do not recommend products from this brand, it is a waste of money

[@lucionjay5376]

Is nice but dont think its worth that

[@JohnRobinsonRC]

It's worth as much as people feel they want to pay my friend. I am still surprised the price people pay for Traxxas and Arrma to name a few. But of course it will be down to how good it really is. Have a lovely evening and stay safe. 😊👌

If it had the word "Traxxas" on it you would have no problem dishing out $600, then dumping another $300 into it to make it work like Traxxas promises.
