NEW 75mph/120kph SPEED Car!! Unboxing: Rlaarlo AK-917 High Speed Road Car

[@RazorRC]

Your channel is the only one that can get me to watch unboxings of cars I already own! Thanks for the shoutout, it's interesting to see the differences between the alloy and carbon cars. Also, is your servo horn composite? Looks like another difference (mine is alloy, but actually a little too long IMO).

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thanks Razor, that means a lot. And likewise with your channel, I've seen a lot of you vids about cars I also own. 😁 My servo horn is the plastic.

[@RazorRC]

@@AussieRCPlayground I appreciate it man!

[@andrewcaldrewood2387]

Love the color scheme on that body!

[@RCvapor]

Nice overview 👌 waiting for my roller to come, looking forward to adding the electronics

[@1521joe]

Can't wait till I get the carbon version sent to me .Great unboxing video. Thanks

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thanks for watching! 😎

Awesome review and video 👍🏾

[@Boogie_the_cat]

I know newbies like buying a car that comes with a battery and charger, it seems like a good value to them, but then what happens is two things: 1) the money that would go into the car parts is less, and you pay for a low mAh 2s battery And 2) the manufacturer feels the need to recoup more money from the new customers by having non-adjustable battery compartments, and you're forced into buying rlaarlo proprietary sized batteries at a premium cost And the you get a USB charger that takes 5 hours to charge a 3s 2000 mAh battery. That's not exaggerating, that's how long it took to charge for me.

[@gillian9178]

I understand you can unscrew the battery retainers from the chassis a put some spacer washer in to raise the retainers up to take larger batteries.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Maybe, but it would've been nice if they included that with the kit.

[@mavicmaltarc]

Nice review, mine is on order!

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Nice. Which one did you order?

[@mavicmaltarc]

@@AussieRCPlayground same as yours my friend! Lets see what she's got!

Fantastic video well done. I subscribed 👍

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Awesome, thank you! Welcome to the channel. 😎🤙

[@ReadySetRC]

Superb unboxing once again👍 Really getting in some great kits for 2023. Love the suggestion of ARTR. Really wish more manufacturers would offer that especially for RC's that are not geared to beginners.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thank you. 🤜🤛 HobbyKing used to offer a lot of their cars as ARTR without a radio many years ago, I don't see why other companies don't offer that option on some of their cars. A company like Rlaarlo who is still in its infancy compared to the rest, still need to sort out their radios and offering a car like this without one is not a carzy idea and could be a good temporary option until they can source a better radio. But it's just my opinion...

[@savagex466-qt1io]

What does ARTR stand for bud ?

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Almost Ready To Run.

[@alanshearing7515]

Nice looking car . Seems well made . Great unboxing, we will see if it lives up to claims on the box !. Gas it up Vas .

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thanks Alan. 🙂👍

[@terryrccrazy6993]

Excellent unboxing. I have seen about a dozen different unboxings and runs, yours is the best in my opinion. I have the CF rtr on pre-order here in Canada

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Much appreciated, thank you so much. 😊 I'm actually considering the CF Roller version myself, actually, just to have something different to tinker with when the mood takes me. 😁

[@davidboyes5360]

Nice unboxing buddy can't wait to see how it goes on the road as always buddy your videos are fantastic cheers buddy have a good one 👍👌🤙

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thank you very much David, appreciate that. 😊👍

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

These are such great looking cars. I will own the blue and orange one and put gulf stickers on it

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Right on! 😁👍

[@user-vb3dg3pb6s]

OMG = awesome looking car. I would have never thought that they would bring out a rc car like this. "I'm in" where to buy. Reccomdations on upgrades. 150 metre range is disappointing so a definite radio and receiver change out. This style of car is back in style now, very similar to a pan car/ xray. Definately agree to keep the manual and the original box. Fully engraved chassis plate, that is something special wich you should be very proud of them doing this for you 👏👏👏you deserve it bud. Shim the battery strap to fit a had case. Love it. Keep slapping that box mate.✅✅✅✅✅👍✌

I have really great 3s batts i use in my boats they are 4500mah 60c..they are pretty small actually...i wonder if they would fit..also have 2s 6500 mah batts 90c i use in my high performance boat..thanks for sharing.

[@gerardscheffer8848]

That car looks stunning! And with the clear and functioning headlights even more. Did they send it to you for a review? Let’s see if it get’s the Aussie RC stamp of approval!

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thanks Gerard. Yes, they did send to to me for review. 😁

[@benabnjm4828]

Hi I ordered the CF RTRip in the first 500 than a few days ago ordered the CF roller .I will use my dumbro 6 ch radio ordered another receiver.The receiver wire should run along the top brace not the way it is ,

[@Nathan-qt2zi]

The top brace will cause interference should be straight up

[@benabnjm4828]

@@Nathan-qt2zi It works for me .

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Carbon Fibre will interfere with radio signals, however, this is usually only an issue with planes that have CF fuselages where the receiver is in an enclosed space made of CF. Now, I'm not saying you won't get some signal interference in a car with a lot of CF, but it's not classified as an enclosed space and the single will still get through quite easily even is the antenna is next to a CF top brace or whatever. If the body of the car was made of CF, then you'd have a major problem, and the car itself wouldn't even need be CF, just the body alone would have a major impact on the signal. But given the body is plastic, you'll have no issues.

[@benabnjm4828]

@@AussieRCPlayground Hi I agree I mentioned it as I have seen others lose signal with these cars because the antenna wire was tide together or raped up with the servo wires. It should be alone like it is in your next video .Cant wait for miine. .Pre sale price is great probably would not pay full price .

Hey, thanks. 🙂

[@babupranav]

How come they didn't send you the CF version Vas?? You have one of the largest rc KZbin channel in the world...

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Well, I'm not complaining. I'm sure they had their reasons. I know I don't do much onroad stuff, so maybe they sent the more expensive ones to channels that cater more to that genre. I don't know... Again, not complaining and I'm super wrapped to have the one I got with my channel name on there. 😊 I'm thankful for what I got.

[@RickyD1968]

Yeah Riaarlo customer service is Horrible !!! I purchased a AK-917 carbon fiber RTR on 4/29/23 I paid extra for expedited shipping ok on 5/6/23 I got a shipping email so about a week passes so I track it and it says waiting for carrier/DHL to pick up item. So I message DHL and they said Riaarlo only made a electronic email that they could not pick up item, So I message Riaarlo and again and again and again so on and no response nothing to this day about my order WTF Riaarlo??? I will never purchase anything from them again !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheoriginalRcRat]

Been waiting for you to review this one 👍

[@code3mobiledetailing190]

This car is a failure. No where near the speed it claims.

[@jbrc1322]

This model is clearly based off the Porsche 917k endurance race car that was developed in 1969 for races like the 24 hr or Le Mans. So yeah, not a super modern design. I will give credit where due and say it is a very nice looking reproduction. However, I would be surprised if they don't catch any flack from the Porsche given the stark similarities of this unlicenced rc. The irony is that Porsche developed the model so quickly and made it so light and powerful, that although it was the fastest car in the races, it was nearly uncontrollable and they had to re-design it the following season. Let's see if the same holds true for the 1/10 scale version.

[@grrfy]

The 917k was the modified version AFAIK

[@JimmyTontoeShreds]

It's a toy, not really a high end R/C on road car

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Well, they're all toys, Jimmy, just some cost more than others. No need to belittle the car with a condescending comment like that. 😳 Also, "high end RC on road car"? High end onroad RC cars will cost upwards of $800aud just for the kits and by the time you're all in with electronics, it can cost anywhere between $1500 to $2000aud depending on what you use in it. And you're comparing those cars with a $300aud RTR speed car? 🤔 I appreciate the view and the comment, but dude, come on, at least compare it to something in the same price category.

[@mitchellpeacock898]

Aussie you are right mate.

[@grrfy]

@@AussieRCPlayground compare to what you get with a Tamiya kit of a similar price.Wont see any bearings,let alone carbon fibre.
