I think you should name it the Tomley's Rlaarlo Acceleration Xtremely Xtra Assist for Straightness!

[@ruuster83]

Legendary Smash! Im starting to wonder if Rlaarlo did this speed challenge to sell spare parts ! LOL! I just got my carbon brushless and its beautiful. Every car i've run over 80mph has destroyed lipos, arms, chassis, turnbuckles, you name it. There is no "durable" car that can withstand an impact that you demonstrated. people who blame the car have never speed run, this is just a normal weekend a speed runner.

[@catshotfourone7951]

Throttle pulse reminds me of the late great F1 driver Ayrton Senna's unusual driving style using a pulse or feathering throttle technique of up to several times per second I believe, for traction control, nobody knew he was doing that until a team member keyed in on subtle sound difference, so they wired Senna up for some data and a graph of his pedal action, very unusual and innovative driving style.

[@anthroism26mc]

there's a video of senna in an NSX, the way he maintains the revs is so captivating to watch

[@DanjaBis]

Have you checked the diffs? I've found diffs that are too open really aren't ideal when trying to put power down, they usually open up and spin one wheel way faster which just makes the car really unstable.

[@MatthewSimm]

I think the servo may be the issue (twitching at low speeds) i dont think its returning properly/ very accurate, until its forced to at higher speeds. Ill be trying a new servo soon and hopefully that fixes the issue, because when i got mine straight, it held really well!

[@DoubleDownDBo]

Great video!I purchased a Rlaarlo buggy when they first came out and was pleasantly surprised in the quality and fun factor of Rlaarlo. Customer support is very good as well.

[@adamwolfy4826]

I think youll find senna was the master of the "blip for grip" technique 🤣 in all seriousnes though, if you havnt seen it, thats how senna kept grip in the corner exits

[@Kazairl666]

Pretty cool looking car! I do have one small question though; why do you keep the spare wheel on the car during runs? it's just extra weight, isn't it? cheers and keep up the good work!

[@extec101]

extra weight can most of the time be good in a top speed run as aero is more of a factor then more mass in the car to make the suspension work rather then the car bouncing on the springs and it gives a initial downwards force making the tyres gripp that gains as downforce start to work. look att a bugatti veyron heavy car it seems compared to an ariel atom that is light for turns and acceleration but the bugatti is more for top speed and at 400km/h aerodynamic drag is a major factor more then what more mass does to initial acceleration in the start of the runn.

[@JohnRobinsonRC]

Well, that crash looks *very familiar* mate. And the same front right wheel hub that I broke twice. 😂 And my receiver also pulled out exactly the same... Hmmm.. Good luck with the speed run buddy. Talk later. EDIT: Just noticed the speed was the same as mine. Becomes unstable at 70 mph, 121 kph... Wow.

@TomleyRC have you had any further success or failure may I ask?

[@terryhoward7074]

Question - where what number do I plug the lights into my headlights are not working also my body fan does not come on at what point does it run, all the time or when hot?

[@dankforest]

Use a spider phone mount on top of your remote so you can use two hands and still drive. It helps alot. And you can pull it off and throw it on the ground and get some good shots there too

[@TomleyRC]

You can't get the low down shots I get without driving 1 handed. I use a mount for the remote for the normal running footage

[@stuartmcnamara9610]

I have heard a few folk on youtube recently saying droop screws are not for adjusting ride height. What in the hell are they for then?

[@darrenconway8117]

Have you considered extending the floor forward ahead of the body and bumper to create a air splitter? This will reduce the air flow under the car. Reducing that flow will reduce air pressure under the car. That will improve down force, grip and stability.

Looks great, can’t wait for mine to come it’s on its way have not had one for more than 20 years

My aarma vendetta will do 70mph out of the box with the included high speed pinion gear on 3s. I actually got 72mph out of it one morning. No aero problems drives straight and is super tough. I got it on a sale for 199 usd. Hard to beat that.

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, I got a similar speed with my Vendetta. Unfortunately they are no longer 199…. that was a crazy deal 👌

[@but531]

Very normal damages after this high speed crash, none should complain. It's very beautiful, i like that has lights, and i like that it look like a 70's LeMans car. Also it's fast just need tuning for the guys that know how to do this, and generally is a nice model. For me is one of the most cool looking rc cars.

Love mine, it’s not the speed run version. I have the AM-X12 with the carbon effect carry case it’s a great looking car and seems well made, only issue I have is when you attach the wing to the car it won’t fit back in the case without squishing it in

@@EdisonRCWorkshop what's changed? Rlaaro charged me $9.99 for shipping and 2 months later asks for more shipping fees after the bill has already been processed. In rlaarlo's email link in description it doesn't even explain how to pay the additional fees. You first have to email rlaarlo in order to get an explanation how to pay the fee. Nowhere in their link doesn't say to push the link button 25 times in order to pay the additional fee.

You sure were a lot more forgiving to this about it not meeting its marks then you were to the Traxxas VXL Bandit.

[@TomleyRC]

I've always been open on Chinese manufacturers speed claims being way over the top, it's old news now I think. The Bandit story was more about not even providing the correct gearing... and requiring you to get an aftermarket pinion.. and that's its Traxxas.... the fastest name in radio control :)

[@channonsmith3157]

That's the problem with 1/10 speed cars. My Xray TC is theoretically as fast with my 4.5T 3S setup but it it just too light and the footprint is too small to be controllable

[@RCBirds]

Thanks for the test. And seeing how much efforts, material and money Raz Shifrin puts into his projects, I highly doubted that a mass produced car would reach that announced speed. It's a nice model with many details and functions, and that should it be. I drove often over 120 mph over the Autobahn and I can assure you it's more stress than fun, even in an E-class. So in my mind a model hasn't to be so fast.

[@patricksimon6385]

I ordered mine back in early March and still have not received it, 26 days ago I received an email from Rlaarlo that it's been shipped but the tracking number still shows waiting to be picked up by the carrier, I've contacted Rlaarlo twice and have got no response, has anyone else have this problem?

[@robertkenney7122]

I cannot understand how many people into RC cars do not do a little homework and realize they basically function mechanically like their full size counter parts. Use a ruler or a tape.. You can then guarantee that your settings are equal side to side as well as corner to corner. That alone will tighten up handling characteristics. Toe in rear slightly for more forward bite. Front start slightly out, you will find more control if it does start to wave around... Look up what kind of specs full size cars are using for the application and go from there....
