[@sheiladavis2304]

It's a blast eh? I ordered one the day it was released and haven't regretted it for a minute. It's got more bang for the buck that anything else in its price range. I love their suspension too. It's a very dialed truck for the buck. I just wish it was a proper 1/10 scale. I dont know why the didn't. Just would have been more plastic. A quality truck for the money like this shows how much of the cost on the bigger names is sheer profit. On to something else,full congrats to Kev for his deal with primal! I was blown away the other night when I saw primal promo for the "game over" limited edition. Then watched Kevs latest video yesterday where he introduced and demo'ed it. That's a sick truck.

[@insanebmxthomas]

how'd you get it this quick? all i know is they start shipping the 18th?

If I'm not mistaken, they did a limited run of "pre-sale" units a month or so ago, @@insanebmxthomas

[@philote09]

@@peterschart no that pre-sale is still ongoing and all shipment only begins on March 18th. Afaik, only KZbinrs etc got theirs, and typically without even ordering.

[@angkorpeck]

I just ordered mine, carbon fiber and extra upgraded shock tower screws, i see that its the first thing that breaks. Being smaller then a true 1/10 is perfect for me, itll fit in my gym bag nicely.

[@michaeldorich4485]

This is an excellent review. The diff issue is almost funny. The little truck looked great on the off road track and seem to land very well. The battery damage is an example why it's best to have a hard case lipo.

[@insanebmxthomas]

sticky velcro in the battery tray and on the battery works for my 2s 2800mah! alongside battery straps of course. but since most batteries including mine are softshells, i figured making sure it doesn't get dinged is a good priority. still looks factory!

[@davidm8584]

The big nose comparison bit caught me off guard and I spit out some coffee 😂😂😂. Well done 👍🏼

Been waiting for this review. Seems like a good buy! I like that it's on the smaller side, that works better for me and the areas I actually get to run my RC cars.

The handling on that truck was really quite impressive.

[@extec101]

and the skill of tomley to drive the car one handed 🤘

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, it was very good. The little montage of it jumping (where I wasn’t talking) was all one handed. The rest… 2 hands 🫡

[@scaleworksRC]

Nice one Tomley! I'll chalk that backwards diff business up to a FNG mistake. Every time I see a video on this truck though, it impresses me even more. Good job Rlaarlo!

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, shame it was not working out the box. Although plenty of mistakes from all manufacturers from time to time. Hopefully it’s a 1 off

[@scaleworksRC]

@@TomleyRC yup 👍

[@rab..]

Is mini 1/10 scale the same as mega 1/14 scale ? 😂 Think they'd have sounded more impressive marketing it as 1/12 scale with a beefy 1/10 scale drivetrain.

Brake test or break test

[@rcfools]

I like Rlaarlo. I have a 917 and a 787. The quality control is a little suspect but you get a lot of RC for your money. I learnt from my experience with the 917 to go completely through my 787 when it arrived. Usually not enough oil in the shocks or some small parts missing. But don't let that put you off. They will get better at it and the cars are fantastic for the price.

[@SiRTHiZZL3]

Add the AM -D12. It's also AWESOME!!! Handles great!

[@user-yl6bh1xi8l]

what kind of oil do you use for the shocks?

[@rcfools]

@@user-yl6bh1xi8l 30wt.

[@GadgetFreekRC]

Looks like a cool little truck, have one on order. As for the diffs, I had a similar issue on my AK-787. Not reversed, just they had the front diff filled with lighter oil than the rear. Made it a pain to keep in a stright line under hard acceleration. switched them around now dives like a dream. Did a vid not great but its there :)

[@MatthewSimm]

It's definitely a solid little unit! I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one to bend the shock standoff 😅

[@Nerm78]

I expect to see those shock mount screws bent on every review since your video came out. I was hoping it was just a really bad unlucky landing.

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah… and then I snapped it yesterday making another (random) video with it. I’ve ordered the upgraded ones, so should expect them in about 3yrs 😅

[@cooperbrown4510]

@@TomleyRC which ones did you order? Can you share a link?

[@richardhutchinson9646]

Seen those screws bend on other videos, it seems like they used soft metal screws, I'd change the one on the shocks straight out the box and put some foam on the bottom of the battery tray to stop the battery sliding.

[@noahblanco677]

Which screws just ordered one and would like to know

[@richardhutchinson9646]

@noahblanco677 on the upper shocks, but I'd just replace all the screws. It's no good having soft metal screws. The heads can strip easily, so can the threads or if over tightened they the heads can twist off leaving the screw stuck in, and then you need a screw extractor. It's like when companies use cheap gun metal diffs. Hence, personally, I'd just replace all the screws.

[@noahblanco677]

@@richardhutchinson9646 thx man great info

[@kelly00000111111]

after watching this thing jump, it handles like a car much bigger than its size. rlarrlo hit the nail on the head with this one. i agree that it is more along the lines of a "1/11" scale than 1/10, but 1/10th sizing seems to just be a ballpark figure with some of the smaller company offerings

[@trefaie]

Looks like it handles the jumps like a champ. Im thinkin bout getting one. Thanks for the review!!

Hi mate there is Gyro steering but you have to open the receive a box press a button and do something with the controller..I've ordered one 😊. Great video mate 👍 😅

[@meltdown78]

This would be a serious next step up from the 1/16th stuff out there, not only in terms of size, but also quality as it seems. Don't me wrong, the HBX, MJX, etc. 1/16 stuff is great, but this seems to be a far more serious car before switching to "big boy" stuff like the bigger Traxxas, Arrma or Rival cars. Will put that on my "to consider" list :)

@TomleyRC I think it will give traxxas a run for there money. The thing is I'd never heard for the brand until I saw it on your channel. I'm quite new to the hobby. And think people just think it's traxxas or not good enough. Which isn't the case. But I do own a traxxas stampede 4x4 vxl which has been modified. And I like the way you put an element of fun in your videos, makes you want to go and bash your car afterwards.😀

Great vid! I have ordered the carbon version too, but now we non-KZbinr all need patience. I am a little concerned about the strong nose-heaviness. I am yet a noob in driving and I guess I will produce lots of nose landings. Maybe in the end I will have to put some additional weight in the back...

Would guess you could get rid of the nose heaviness by adjusting the shocks. Adding weight will increase the risk of breaking the car.

You said it well Phil. The biggest “fopar” of this particular truck to me is Rlaarlo’s QC dept. letting letting this one get away with a diff installed backwards, Especially when it was being sent out to a channel as big as yours for review!😝 Aside from that, this thing seems to do everything well. All the materials seem robust and hold up very well to all the abuse you could dish out in a single lipo pack. I’m not going to say it’s indestructible, as everything has it’s breaking point. To me it definitely can hang with those “Brandyer”brands when comparing performance and toughness. That’s saying a lot for this new and upcoming company! One thing they do that the others don’t is consider and factor in consumer concerns, needs,and wants in their future line ups. The big 3 don’t do so well at that. I dig your review on this. Well done Phil and very well done Rlaarlo! 👊🏼💯‼️
