Rlaarlo XTS F10 Is The BEST RC Rally Car I've EVER Driven!

[@ellc.6143]

I trust your opinion, you haven't steered me wrong yet. You do have a lot of knowledge on the subject. If you say it's a beast I want one. I can afford a roller. I have plenty of electronics laying around. Thanks again

I'm not the most experience with rally cars but I've driven 1/10 scale monster trucks that handled off-road worse than this. It's pretty good

One of the main actually the reason I prefer your channel over everyone else's is because of that full breakdown! You let us see EVERYTHING FROM STYLE OF BUILD DOWN TO QUALITY OF CONPONENTS AND THAT TO ME IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF PURCHASING AN RC!!! KNOWING WHAT YOUR GETTING INSIDE OUT!!!

Your reviews are always thorough and informative. I appreciate the amount of information you weave into your narration. Thank you! This looks like another great release from RLAARLO. I figured it would handle well given its Omni Terminator roots. These vehicles are both fairly heavy for their size, and in the case of this one, results in a low slung and small wheeled rally car that can actually handle grass and uneven dirt. Impressive!

Yeah it's crazy that even thick grass doesn't stop thing thing. The lcg definitely helps!

@@DoRC question is to get the carbon version or the roller and put a budget 4s system? Like a Surpass combo.

[@Emicu420]

I own the omni terminator carbon edition since 1st batch delivery and I can tell that is the best rc that I own. I own an xmaxx upgraded, kraton 6s exb, outcast 4sv2 and some wtltoys ofc and an ftx dr8 heavily modified also. so far the little monster truck did everything for me, i run in the forest and at the beach sometimes it performs amazingly. I think I runed over 100 packs nothing ever broke. I did maintenance once in 8 months witch was some cleaning and the fluids in the diffs. so related to that I believe that this XTS it will make a difference in the rc community specially for the price. I hope rlaarlo keeps developing and listening to the community because they are riding the wave for a while and its AMAZING!! big fan here Keep it up

Yeah this is a pretty good platform.

Not a big rally car fan/driver, but this thing looks solid!! First thing Rlaarlo has done that really catches my attention!! I like bashers, and they have decent bashers, but they are all a bit small, and I personally like the 1/8 size bashers, bigger, someday! But the market is saturated with 1/12 and 1/14 sized vehicles, and they are fun, but I do like seeing a 1/10 or larger sized rig. Still, for what this is, it looks bulletproof, and has awesome room for options!!! Great video!

[@DoRC]

Yeah it's definitely an awesome car!

[@rickrussell]

I didn't think I'd care for on-road either until I got the MJX Hyper Go Lancia rally car. Taking it out on a dirt trail is shockingly fun and provides a range of "realistic rally car moments" (e.g. flying off the track and rolling into a ditch). I've now got an Arrma Vendetta and an MJX Citroen and they are all crazy fun.

Great video - How do the Rlaarlo batteries "dyno" with that battery tester you have? I've seen other videos where some have noticed considerable performance upgrade with "better" batteries.

Lipo dyno shows about 50 amps max. That's pretty reasonable for a small battery like this. There's definitely some performance to be gained from something like an SMC though.

[@thunderbomb515]

Liked and subscribed. That car looks pretty damn cool. I am re-entering the RC world after a few years retirement. So I have a important question to you or anyone who reads this. Just ordered two new vehicles that both require lipo batteries. My question is I need a charger. What what charger you guys use or recommend? I've read multiple articles saying the higher the watt charger the better. Then I look at top selling chargers and most of the are about 50 to 65 watt. I'm in no huge hurry to charge batteries I'm basically just running them for enjoyment and with my daughter. So any recommendations would be awesome and very much appreciate it! I got to show my daughter this video when she gets home from school. I like the performance of it and she will be the one that likes the body! Lol

[@DoRC]

Hota s6. 400 watts total 200 w per channel.

[@thunderbomb515]

@DoRC So the wattage output is beneficial for how fast it can charge a lipo or is there other benefits to a higher wattage output as well? Sorry for my ignorance pertaining to lipos. I am just trying to learn at 49 years old. Thank you

[@DoRC]

@thunderbomb515 It really only increases how fast you can charge a battery. If you're only using small batteries you don't really need to worry about it but I always recommend people oversize their charger because you're almost certainly going to end up buying something bigger down the road and then you're going to be unhappy when you have to wait 3 hours for your battery to charge

[@NoodlesNJ1]

Did you re-use the battery hold downs for the bigger battery? I have the Rally Car but didn't fig into yet.

[@DoRC]

It comes with straps for the larger batteries but in my experience the straps are too long so you might have to get your own

[@thischildishlifestyle]

Cool looking RC.... may have to pick one of those up towards the spring time. 👍

[@DoRC]

It's definitely an awesome car!

[@but531]

I like when you unscrew the differentials to see from what materials they are made. This shiny metal drive cups things reminds me cheap low quality metal that you see it in a lot of rc cars but we can't judge yet if we don't see how they hold up. When i had a wltoys 144001 this shiny metal always was breaking or bending easily but in Rlaarlo i don't how will go.

[@DoRC]

I agree that the shiny metal looks cheap but I've had multiple people say that these are also the updated cups for the OT and they're working really well.

[@QWERTY_0824]

Honestly, rally cars are really fun to drive on gravel and maybe some dirt. I didn't expect this car to run so well in sand! (I had a MJX 14303 that I converted to 4s and its a ripper)

[@DoRC]

The biggest thing I was surprised about was grass. I expected it to get in the grass and just stop but it didn't seem to care at all.

[@samintrepid]

Beautiful car with real light, it remind me the traxxas rally car but better with center diff :)

[@DoRC]

Yeah it definitely has some advantages over the Traxxas

[@FatherandSon_RC]

We've got a Traxxas Ford Fiesta ST Rally Gen 1 modded with the vxl system and all kinds of goodies, and it performs just like this thing. It is by no means a basher, but super fun on relatively smooth surfaces. It is one of the most fun cars on a baseball diamond! It drifts the whole way around! This Rlaarlo looks great. We will hold off because of our ROG1 experience, but despite the lack of durability, that ROG1 is super fun! Its like a bad habit! 😅

Awesome! I had a Ford rally a while ago and wasn't too impressed but I think it was brushed.

Definitely interested in trying this out. I have a bunch of rally cars-1/10 LC Racing PGT2R, 1/10 Kyosho MK2 Fazer Subaru, 1/8 HPI WR8 Flux Subaru, 1/8 CEN Racing Subaru, 1/8 Maverick QuantumRX Flux, 1/10 Traxxas Ford Fiesta, 1/7 King Motors Citroen, and a Carten T410 kit that I haven't built yet. Rally cars are definitely not as versatile as you said, but I really love the larger-scale rally cars. My favorite is the HPI WR8 Flux-even on 3s it's an absolute animal and takes a beating with zero upgrades. My second favorite (believe it or not) has to be the 1/8 Maverick. For the price, the value is off the charts, and with a reinforced body, it can also take a beating bone stock. Third favorite might just be the King Motors 1/8 Citroen, albeit, it needs some tuning, especially to the rear shock springs if you're going to run it on 4s. Tires get caught up in the wheel wheels. It's 1/7 scale, so it really should be a 4s rig at a minimum.

[@DoRC]

Sounds like you have a lot more experience with me. I've usually shied away from them just because everyone I've had felt so so at everything. This thing is super stable on road always lands on its wheels and handles off-road better than some 1/10 scale monster trucks I've driven. Definitely a cool car

Those are their new diff cups to replace the ones that came on the terminator. They do have the S2 diff cups, but these are a step up from the ones that come on the Terminator. I actually replaced my cups a few weeks ago on my terminator so I ordered two sets of cups. I got one silver and one black set of cups to find out the silver ones are the updated ones so I had to order another set of diff cups and hope they were silver which they were. Because right now they are still selling the black ones and the warehouse gives you what they have available so you could end up getting black or silver. It’s a crap shoot unfortunately but so far they have held up extremely well.

[@DoRC]

Yeah I have several packs on the rally car and so far no visible wear. Of course smaller tires are going to put less stress on them but it's definitely a good sign!

I don't think you'll be disappointed. This thing has changed my view of rally cars. I have always kind of been down on them but this one's something different

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

@ there giving you so much in a small package, at least rally cars are scale , a lot details

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

@@DoRC you doing good with these informative breakdowns. Even on other side of the pond you’re being recommended. Guy had this on a speed way , you can hear that machined spiral 🌀 ring gear ⚙️. I just think of all the noise I made past years always trying to go fast , now sky’s the limit but with a catch , no noise from the engine , idk still weird to me , all this speed performance with electric ⚡️ motors , we’re living in the future my friend.

[@DoRC]

@RcPlayer-tt2vw Yeah I know the sound and smell of a nitro engine is hard to let go of but electric really does have pretty much every advantage.

[@gm11906]

Ok, if you’re going to disassemble an entire RC to review, I have to subscribe.

[@DoRC]

If you enjoyed it stay tuned I do it all the times :-)

[@gamedogrc]

This Rally Car Is Top Tier in the rally class esp. with the exhaust flash.

[@DoRC]

The exhaust light is a nice touch

[@gamedogrc]

@@DoRC yes it is. those are the small things that count to me. the realism. i wouldnt even wanna drive mine if i got 1 simple because of how good they look. great video.

[@DoRC]

@gamedogrc nah you want to drive it! That's the best part :-)

[@gamedogrc]

@@DoRC yea i know but im a sucker for a sexy show shelf queen. after i bash it i would want to restore it. they really did fantastic with this vehicle.

[@BellaT-nu4vv]

As a feedback I tell if you drive cars better places - especially bashers - that would contribute the channel very positively... It is still not bad for sure; however, your extensive technical approach to rigs overpowers driving parts too much in this way, and that makes the videos kind of like 'incomplete', in my opinion. For example, for this rally car a driving footage on an outdoor gravel buggy or stadium truck track would be perfect fit, which would make the whole video 'an excellent review'. Hopefully you'll take it like constructive criticism because this is how I intended. I am not into rally rcs btw, but this looks like a nice rig, thx for the video!

[@DoRC]

Trust me I wish I had More places I could bash but I'm just really limited. I'm disabled and mostly homebound so I have to stick to areas around where I live and they're just aren't that many options.

[@BellaT-nu4vv]

@DoRC oh ok it is sorry to hear that... Maybe I should have guessed there is a reason since you already have an excellent command of the RC thing therefore you know that there are better places, so it is my bad and I apoligize for this. Videos are still very cool anyway, so no worries of them! 😎

[@DoRC]

@BellaT-nu4vv All good. We all have limitations that we have to work around. To be fair I like pushing vehicles into terrain that they're not really supposed to be in just to see what they can handle. Most modern cars can handle normal bashing but it's when things get rough that you start to find the weaknesses.

[@BellaT-nu4vv]

@@DoRC yeah on the point of testing the endurance your videos are really helpful. Looking forward to next ones! :)

[@WowoodogPlays]

good how rlaarlo have made the car usable with aftermarket stuff

[@DoRC]

Yeah they definitely do seem to be putting a lot of thought into their vehicles.

[@aknmtbr]

well dude unfortunately I think I got mine with all bad shocks! They seemed decent at first and after a short drive I now have no rebound in the rear despite adjusting preload as much as possible.

[@DoRC]

Lack of rebound usually isn't due to the shock. It's usually due to binding in the suspension. Try taking the shock off of the arm and see if the arms move freely.

[@aknmtbr]

@@DoRC thanks! Yesterday it wasn't rebounding well at all, even though everything felt smooth. Today its doing better, so may have had some little ice chunks or rocks bound up somewhere. There really isn't much protection. The rear however is super squishy compared to the front. Took on shock apart and it had tons of air, so may just replace the oil and bleed. Any idea what oil they use stock? I can't find much online.

[@DoRC]

@aknmtbr no sorry I don't. If I had to guess it'd probably like 30 or 40 wait but I'm not certain.

[@aknmtbr]

@@DoRC roger I found a random comment on an omni terminator short saying it uses 500 cst so that tracks. Kinda a bummer they came needing service but guess that can happen with shipping especially to Alaska

[@DoRC]

@aknmtbr Yeah unfortunately the shock bleeding thing is kind of a crap shoot no matter what brand you get.

[@cborel83]

did they give you this for review? im super hesitant on ordering from a chinese company

[@DoRC]

They did but in general they do have a good reputation. For a while their customer service was kind of hit or miss but even that seems to have gotten better. If you're hesitant generally not long after release the rlaaelo cars become available on places like Amazon

[@cborel83]

Thanks I was wondering that. I bought the terminator and love it but got it from Amazon.

[@skyhawk21]

Where do we purchase early

[@DoRC]

I got this for review.

[@ujlj9602]

Were do you purchase this car

[@DoRC]

It was provided for the purpose of review.

[@RCvapor]

Awesome👌

[@DoRC]

It's a cool car! Thanks for watching :-)

[@bbeckers24]

Pretty funny that it says rlaarlo in the tire tread.

[@DoRC]

:)

[@skyhawk21]

The center diff cups and axle are thick on new car better than s2 upgrades on terminator

[@DoRC]

Nice!

[@JanuszKowalski-md3vd]

New cups is in new OT V2

[@skyhawk21]

@ there’s a version two how can you tell and where to buy

[@JanuszKowalski-md3vd]

@@skyhawk21 I bought my unit about 3 months ago on Aliexpress from a specific seller. I have a Green Terminator from the early production batch. The cups are indeed too weak. After about 6 months of weekend off-road madness, they gave out. The Black Terminator, used reasonably for 3 months with three 5500mAh LiPo batteries in a row per session in the city (in hilly terrain), has no issues with the cups. They are clearly of stronger construction. The V2 is what you should look for and ask sellers about.

[@lyricofwise6894]

am surprised a practically on road car could even move in that much thick grass

[@DoRC]

Yeah I was surprised too!

[@rcjoe406]

Kool 😊

[@DoRC]

Agreed :-) thanks for watching!

[@rickrussell]

We clearly need a head-to-head with the HPI WR8 Flux and the Traxxas Ford Fiesta. What do you lose (if anything) by spending $250 instead of $329 or $499?

[@DoRC]

I've owned both and other than size I don't think you lose much. I really never been that impressed with rally cars in the past as they kind of always seem like the worst of all worlds but this car just isn't that. It's a better basher than it should be

[@2down4up]

I just hate the Integy pea green soup color! Other than that, I’m all about it!

[@DoRC]

Yeah the color is definitely a subjective thing.

[@toolbaggers]

A baseball diamond (no grass) would be perfect for this.

[@DoRC]

It absolutely would. I have a few around me but I couldn't figure out how to get someone's permission to run on them and I really didn't feel good about putting a bunch of tire tracks and dirt all over something that someone would probably have to come behind me and fix before they played
