They are both nice looking chassis's and bodyshells, and obviously both based on real racing cars. It'll definitely be interesting to see how they compare on the track though ;)

[@friktionrc]

I'm sure we'll get a review shortly😂

[@adlynazol412]

787 looks incredible!

[@PopalongRC]

Agreed Great looking car

[@TastierBackInThe80s]

The only channel with teleportation haxx! The banana phone is awesome. Put the 787 body on the best handling car. Good show lads!!

[@PopalongRC]

Ahead of the game

[@Hungrybird474]

Whichever one holds up the longest is the winner in my book 👍👍

[@robinpoulton3352]

Wonder if BRCA will ever have a class for them I would deffo buy one

[@jeremymiller2340]

I got to say I am digging the popalong rc shirt' definitely a great looking bit of gear!! The car looks great too lol!!! Grown men playing with toy cars LOL great line being 49 myself I got to say sometimes when you're out Putt-Putt and where the cars you do get older crowds looking at you like you're crazy so the analogy doesn't hold a bit of Truth great stuff as always guys!

@@PopalongRC I used talk to text I wont be using that again' my comment looked like gibberish 🤣

[@paulwells3271]

I find the 747 body makes the car unstable at high speed does run better with out it must be to much flexing but both are good looking and the metal wheels are to big

[@gillian9178]

At least you were lucky enough to own a carrot phone back in the day, imagine the shame & embarrasment I had only having a Leek phone. Reception was terrible, & to top it off I couldn't even hide it in my pocket.

[@PopalongRC]

Leak and potato range are not great

[@mikeymike3240]

Those circular lights you have going over the cars remind me of Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons lol 😮😊

[@PopalongRC]

Hahaha

[@paulrobinson9355]

Awesome!!

[@PopalongRC]

Cheers

[@coygtrc]

Both are awesome 🎉 There still this little detail on the 787 with the body sitting a little too high, but really a detail 😊

[@kitfrancek979]

I just got my 787 in the mail and after putting bumpers on the shock shaft to lower it and adjusting the body height it sits reallyyyy nice, that was the one thing that annoyed me with that car but it was an easy fix

[@IsaacSchultz-lz8jc]

Depending on the places you drive the higher suspension can be helpful.

[@PopalongRC]

@IsaacSchultz-lz8jc very true

[@scottblowers9592]

Like the look of both of these. Leighton buzzard this coming Tuesday is an open night so anything can race. Bring them both for a carpet race. Going to dust off my tt02 for a change. #bringbackthebanana

[@PopalongRC]

Hmmmm might be an option .

[@liv2runrun2liv]

I get that it's about making fun silly videos but the bare minimum research would have shown you were comparing different classes of car. The 917 is the $300 carbon version, and the 787 is the $200 metal version, which explains most of the differences.

[@PopalongRC]

Well done chap A+

[@Hungrybird474]

Good going bro 👍👍. Saved me from reading further . I believe the cf version has a better engine maybe

[@canuckchuck8836]

Does that new phone get as good reception even with the green antennas missing?

[@PopalongRC]

They don’t make I’m like they used tooo

[@JOMA7722]

Lads thanks, I was curious what the differences between the 2 cars were. Big fan of your content, I was wondering what your opinion was, looking at purchasing either a LD2 or B6.4 - I’ve heard the LD2 is fast but fragile. B6.4 is apparently tougher but suited to US tyres. What would you recommend for a novice racer, we have a great indoor track (Midlands Raceway) Thanks, Josh

[@PopalongRC]

B6.4 is a proven platform but you will be able to get cheaper 2nd hand LD2 as the LD 3 is due for release in the coming weeks

[@JOMA7722]

Ahhhh that may explain why a load of people are selling LD2’s currently. £200 for the built car with some upgrades and a lot of spares seems to hard to miss on. Plus a lot of people seem to run Schumacher I think at my club

[@carfixated]

How do these Rlaarlo cars do at the TRACK compared to other touring car chassis? Can they compete or are they only bashers and straight line cars? Thanks.

[@PopalongRC]

not fully hammered them yet but watch this space

[@Helghast73]

787 is gorgeous looking… tempting very tempting must resist but the price increases soon 😤😫🤣 Look forward to the Rlaarlo face off 👍 Enjoy the weather and have a great weekend all!

[@PopalongRC]

It is a tricky decision

[@chaosfruitbat5970]

787B for me, its a classic !

[@PopalongRC]

Stunning

[@IsaacSchultz-lz8jc]

I’m surprised the got it that close to the real Mazda without a license,

[@darthdamo3491]

Let me know when you go, I'll come and help you get footage and have a run round with you.

[@Marktravis356]

Oops just accidentally ordered one 😂

[@PopalongRC]

Awesome

[@dankforest]

I thought the bannana was classy.... 😢

[@PopalongRC]

Exactly what we thought too, maybe we’ll bring it back, the carrot had bad reception to be honest, but works better in the dark👍

[@RCKickschannel]

:)

[@PopalongRC]

Cheers Gav

[@James-bristol]

My wheels are better than your wheels 😂😂😂you can only say that to a rc. Mate with out getting laughed out the pub.

[@PopalongRC]

This RC is serious stuff hahahahaha

[@Nordlicht05]

Last year I saw someone with an older Passat Diesel. He had genuin Bugatti alloys on the car. He sure says this to people 😂. Because these rims are pricey. Maybe same price as his car at this moment or more.

[@Dabber422]

Your carrot triggered me...

[@flyingscottsman2608]

That's what she said 😂
