Rlaarlo sent me a new 8-ch radio to test and review. I've spent about 4 hours using it before I even started to make this video. I wanted to understand it well so there were no surprises later!
First, the radio looks familiar because it is already on the market as the HotRC CT-8a (gyro-enabled receiver not included but available separately). Buuut this one has Rlaarlo firmware and quite honestly, a very compelling feature set for a crazy price. Even the spare gyro-equipped receivers are roughly DumboRC money. That's rather impressive, yes?
So yes, Rlaarlo CT8a and HotRC CT-8a look the same because they're from the same company. But don't let this put you off; Rlaarlo is all about their cars - and what a year they've had! Their new CT-8a 8-ch radio system is running Rlaarlo firmware and is ready to install in your favorite RC model from any brand. Oh, it has a gyro AND mixing AND multiple power sources.
It looks great on paper! But I'm typing this with an injury after testing the system for about 24 hours now. So, let's see what it's actually like to use.
If you're convinced, buy one here:

Notes:
- I haven't been able to get the gyro to work correctly yet. Still working on it.
- not all 18650 batteries fit. I cover this in the video.
- make sure you don't buy their DumboRC receivers if you want extras, as they won't work with this radio.
