It is a shared chassis platform with ZD racing (mt-16) and jsi (mt14r pt14r) except he Rlaarlo comes with a 45a ESC instead of 35a. Hopefully just means more parts availability from places other than just the Rlaarlo website.
It looks like great value. I, however, am wary of Rlaarlo and their "customer service" because my new CT8A (75 days old) is useless because it puts phantom reverse inputs as soon as i turn it on. Channel two just has input of 600-1200 (which is reverse) as soon as it turns on. Waste of 50 USD.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're genuinely sorry to hear about the issues you're experiencing with your CT8A. This is not the level of quality we aim to provide, and we understand your frustration.
I don't know, I'd have to have both to see who did it better. 🤷 I'm not even sure who the OEM is... But it is interesting that Rlaarlo release this truck and the ZD version pops up around the same time.
@@AussieRCPlayground well I saw first on AliExpress the zd Racing one before you guys started to release videos about the rlaarlo one so thats why I dare to say Its a zd Racing mt16
Yeah, it's possible ZD Racing is the OEM, but who really knows. I only spotted the ZD version on Banggood literally the day before I released my video, so I didn't even know there was another version out there until recently. Not sure how long the MT16 has been out for, but it's definitely the same platform with a few differences. This might sound a bit biased, but I think the Rlaarlo version looks better. 😎
Broke the end of a hinge pin off and they Wouldn't Warranty it 😠 had 2 buy a 4 pk for like $17 after shipping charges....pretty WEAK RLAARLO, NOW PROBABLY A 2 WEAK WAIT 😕🤨😠
Crash damage is not covered by warranty. Standard policy across all brands with some, very, very specific exceptions. So much so that if I break anything on this car, even I have to buy the parts myself. I may have gotten the car for nothing, but no special treatment otherwise. This rule also applies with the other brands I deal with, not just Rlaarlo. Sorry your car broke, but $17 is a small price to pay for a repair.
Did you miss the part where I said there are some "very, very specific exceptions"? Just because one company did this for you doesn't mean it's now blanket rule for all other companies to follow suit regardless of the circumstances. If you're going to expect a new truck every time you break something you're going to be very disappointed with this hobby, my guy.
I can't believe you're back that's sweet, your videos were huge to me back in the day!!
I'm back?!? I never left. 😁
Nice , looks to be a better package all round. Looking forward to the first bash . Great unboxing Vas 👍
Thanks Alan. Just waiting for good weather at the moment. I haven't been out now for weeks...
Same here , really unsettled weather . Haven’t flown helicopter for three weeks. 😒

Charge tjme ?
that's some cheezy drop test! :)
I want to ask, what RC is behind that? the red one??
That's the Maverick Q2 ST.
Thankyou man
They installed some of the stickers because a few had to be put on prior to the body plastic parts and the replica stuff in the back.
We've got different colours! That'll make driving together a bit easier ;)
If we ever get a decent day to drive the things. I've had this truck for a few weeks now and still haven't been able to drive it.
@@AussieRCPlayground you're in for a treat. I've used it 3 days in a row and I've had it for 3 days, lol!
@@RCTNT its got hyrax like tyres and scale accessories in the back, but does it crawl? XD
@@Baker_7498 haha yes, they're interesting little details hey.
The problem with the ROG-1 is the short wheelbase.
It looks like great value.

Already available on Aliexpress for $167. IMO way too expensive compared to Terminator metal version.
Nice truck got my attention but it will prove to be no king of anything but just a good rc like every thing else
Hey man this Is a zd Racing mt16!!!
Well, it's not, but it is a shared platform. There are a number of differences between this truck and the MT16.
@@AussieRCPlayground so, in your book, wich one Is better Man?
