[@sheiladavis2304]

It's a blast eh? I ordered one the day it was released and haven't regretted it for a minute. It's got more bang for the buck that anything else in its price range. I love their suspension too. It's a very dialed truck for the buck. I just wish it was a proper 1/10 scale. I dont know why the didn't. Just would have been more plastic. A quality truck for the money like this shows how much of the cost on the bigger names is sheer profit. On to something else,full congrats to Kev for his deal with primal! I was blown away the other night when I saw primal promo for the "game over" limited edition. Then watched Kevs latest video yesterday where he introduced and demo'ed it. That's a sick truck.

Seen those screws bend on other videos, it seems like they used soft metal screws, I'd change the one on the shocks straight out the box and put some foam on the bottom of the battery tray to stop the battery sliding.

[@noahblanco677]

Which screws just ordered one and would like to know

[@richardhutchinson9646]

@noahblanco677 on the upper shocks, but I'd just replace all the screws. It's no good having soft metal screws. The heads can strip easily, so can the threads or if over tightened they the heads can twist off leaving the screw stuck in, and then you need a screw extractor. It's like when companies use cheap gun metal diffs. Hence, personally, I'd just replace all the screws.

I like Rlaarlo. I have a 917 and a 787. The quality control is a little suspect but you get a lot of RC for your money. I learnt from my experience with the 917 to go completely through my 787 when it arrived. Usually not enough oil in the shocks or some small parts missing. But don't let that put you off. They will get better at it and the cars are fantastic for the price.

Looks like a cool little truck, have one on order. As for the diffs, I had a similar issue on my AK-787. Not reversed, just they had the front diff filled with lighter oil than the rear.

This would be a serious next step up from the 1/16th stuff out there, not only in terms of size, but also quality as it seems. Don't me wrong, the HBX, MJX, etc. 1/16 stuff is great, but this seems to be a far more serious car before switching to "big boy" stuff like the bigger Traxxas, Arrma or Rival cars. Will put that on my "to consider" list :)

[@LEF3133]

I have 2 hyper go trucks for my kids and this just looks like a bigger version.

[@kelly00000111111]

after watching this thing jump, it handles like a car much bigger than its size. rlarrlo hit the nail on the head with this one. i agree that it is more along the lines of a "1/11" scale than 1/10, but 1/10th sizing seems to just be a ballpark figure with some of the smaller company offerings

@TomleyRC I think it will give traxxas a run for there money. The thing is I'd never heard for the brand until I saw it on your channel. I'm quite new to the hobby.

Great vid! I have ordered the carbon version too, but now we non-KZbinr all need patience. I am a little concerned about the strong nose-heaviness. I am yet a noob in driving and I guess I will produce lots of nose landings. Maybe in the end I will have to put some additional weight in the back...

Would guess you could get rid of the nose heaviness by adjusting the shocks. Adding weight will increase the risk of breaking the car.

Common complaint. Apparently it's not programmable, or at least there are no instructions for it. I hope it will be similar to the gyro, so that the release cars get instructions with them on how to program it. Can't imagine there are non-programmable ESCs in this price range.

[@gbraadnl]

5:50 Are the gears and gearbox cover not similar to those on the previous Rlaarlo and WLToys?

[@insanebmxthomas]

would be fun if they had the same fit but i don't think we're getting that lucky. the ABCD blocks look different on this, for starters. Maybe the screw holes and locator pins end up the same but i doubt it. If you're interested in getting a center diff into your older rlaarlo; if you take out the slipper assembly, a factory diff (i own a D12) will just fit in there. You'll need to butcher the outer driveshaft-bearing-seat off a diffcase, but it *could* work. Diff seems to line up perfectly with the motor mount (same size bearing) and the diffcase 2nd bearing seat(also same bearing as diff bearing). It could work, at least for a couple minutes. Fairly easy and cheap mod; plastic diffcase is a couple dollars. But theyre unsealed diffs so its just asking for problems that are then impossible to solve.

It's really cool that it's got a centre differential, they make so much difference to the handling. I believe that the Team Associated Reflex 1/14 scale Buggy, Truggy & MT (not sure about the Hoonigan truck & Mustang, I don't think they do)? have a centre diff fitted too, but apart from those I can't think of any others off the top of my noggin..
