*Win the Truck here:* raffall.com/363508/enter-raffle-to-win-a-rlaarlo-omni-terminator-brushless-upgraded-hosted-by-beyondrc This is still one of the best RC cars under $200 and although its not a 'proper' 1/10th scale it still performs like one! Would you buy this or the MJX 10208?
I appreciate that you don’t take these things to skate parks. Channels like that have their audience, but personally it’s not for me either. I like the channels that show normal driving and bashing on surfaces most of us regular joes drive on. Pavement, gravel, dirt, grass, etc. Anyone can skate park them until they break. But I like seeing them being blasted around on multiple surface types. I liked this thing. Great video.
I love RC as a hobby. It's a great way of relaxing and getting about when I am not working. I do not understand why people want to destroy their cars at skate parks.😮
channels do it for views and kids who watch those channels enjoy the destruction. Also having lots of disposable income to fund that kind of behaviour helps.
@@KeithRichardson-n4x I've never had mine to a skate park but I've built Ramps here at home but never land it on concrete I'm like you in thinking off road should be off road. No disposable income but like seeing what the trucks capable of and stuff. I don't try n tear it up but if I do I don't really mind unless I'd total it. Lol
Im glad you hit a few jumps. I have a grass course with cones and a nice little ramp. Perfect for some awesome fun in the backyard. That i feel is what most of us do. If not play in the mud. But overall you did a good showing of the trucks real potential.
I'm with you bro. Skate parks are fine if you are happy smashing bits on your rc. I get that some love the jumps and stunts, but personally I don't have the time or money to keep replacing parts. I'm pleased you have gone against the 'grain' and run the truck as you would your own. Great vid and I appreciate it 👍
I specifically bought one (carbon version) just days ago BECAUSE it’s 1/12 sized, and based off your previous review on it 👌. It is a good size for my backyard track. It’s the only truck at this size (that I know of) with a center diff!! (Essential for proper track tuning) I’m very impressed with the build quality, components and handling. Love this truck!!! Thank you for your thorough and honest reviews.
Yeah I saw it was $212 again . I’ve had it a while and know it inside and out now . Center diff is a pain but not too bad , f and rear diffs are easy , order some diff outdrives right away though 👍. Prob 30-40 packs before you ll see wear getting bad
hbx 2996A IS. 12th brushless with centre diff. Its much cheaper then the Rlaarlo and very durable, we have both (well Terminator metal version) and performance wise they are close. So, if you like the 1/12th and want an additional basher i would reccommend the 2996a,, Beyond have a decent review of it.
For me, the only real durability test is not skateparks. It is the combination of everything. Off-road, concrete, tar, grass, dirt, sand, mud, etc... that's a real test because that is what people with Off-road rc will drive on, you can feel like you can go anywhere because it's Off-road!
Hey man I’m with you skateparks are a bit much if you care about the condition of your RC. I tried once with a V2 outcast 4s and wasn’t that good at air control yet so it ended badly Some dudes on TH-cam are really good so it looks really sweet!! But do what makes you enjoy the hobby! Always like your videos 👍
Love this type of bashing! Usually about all I do as well and I have just recently ordered a metal Terminator should be in soon can't wait 2nd RC car for me after my Valkyrie TR
To me this looks like a real test. I can see how it handles on dirt (its intended purpose). Skateparks don't seem to show anything other than how quickly you can break the car.
Thanks for comparing the metal one to the carbon. Been trying to decide between them. I like your channel precisely because you do the sort of driving I enjoy (ie not skate parks)
For a company to say violent test it means they stand by thier product. Not like another company not too long ago sending cars out with a email attached saying to go easy on it and not to run 4s or the tires will blow out and things will break, review it for us and we will make adjustments to the weak point but then turns out the tester cars was the finish product "MJX"
We believe in putting our products through rigorous testing to ensure they meet high standards and provide a quality experience for our customers. Your insight is appreciated!
I’m with you mate I do a bit of skate park myself but only the ramps that you can fly out of onto grass, the one near me has grass banks all around so you can jump out onto a grass down ramp with is very ideal. Other than that I have a few self built ramps to do more to scale type jump a real truck could do and I like sliding around in the dirt.
100% mate. And i have never had a problem other people running at them if that's what they are into. Just doesn't mean i have to do the same in regards to reviews/videos. I'm not here to copy other channels. I have one job. To review a new product presented to me. is a skatepark an accurate and fair test of a new RC car? Absolutely not. Does every person out there run at skateparks? Nope a very small amount in the hobby. The biggest issue i have is the image it shows the younger generation that its acceptable to smash RC cars up which mum and dad worked hard to pay for. I have spoken to numerous shop owners who have had so many kids come in with parents and ask the sales team which is best for a skatepark.. Some large channels have made skateparks so popular/appealing that kids are craving that kind of destruction as it looks fun compared to the softer touch i take on all of mine. Time for change IMO and time to bring some normality back to this fantastic hobby.
Yea not a skatepark guy myself. Have the carbon version my son drives, good truck so far. The S2 parts are a must do upgrade I do know that much. But as for the rest of the upgrades, haven’t had a need for any of those. Good video 🤘🏻
i love the unique locations and use of mountain bike and bmx dirt courses, great videos, big ups from the USA. I always like to use plastic parts on a basher because of the flex, that is a great thing to point out, i learned that one the hard way with my Slash
I like this truck , it s always fun to drive for a smaller RC . This in granite or big rock size would be phenomenal , it’s more big rock than granite imo with the length /size . I like how it stays down and smokes . The cf is a heck of a lot faster on 3s .
I wish the ESC was tunable because the breaks are too strong. Most ESC come set at 75% and I typically set brakes right to 37.5% for easier air control. Also, I’ve had mine for a few days and it is really confusing trying to set all 5 channels. I made a few adjustments and now can’t get the gyro to work. Almost a very amazing RC for the money but it needs a ESC swap at minimum. And I believe the metal upgrades are perfect for on road and adding a lot of power and running foam tires which they sell.
The whole skatepark thing to myself has always beena tad to extreme, he'll it was hard enough on the old DiamondbacK freestyle bike back in 82' let alone a plastic or aluminum rc car. To each their own my brother!!
Well said pal. You do you, i enjoy watching your posts, well done . Great clip. Looks a great car for the price. Also my jjrc c8803 still has not arrived after 34 days when I purchased 7 day 😢
@beyondRC it come yesterday and a friend broke it within 20 mins so now I have taken the esc, servo and shocks to put on my q13 and it's great but the controller is faulty, the steering was wired to the steering trim that's why u can curn more with the trim nob than u can with the wheel, nuts. I took the controller apart and swapped the ports around for the speed and steering trim and now I get full steering but no trim but get throttle trim lol.
Great video! I love how you stay true to your style and opinions. It's refreshing to see someone who isn't afraid to do things differently. Your detailed review of the Rlaarlo Omni-Terminator Metal version is insightful. Keep being yourself and sharing your honest thoughts-we appreciate it!
Thanks Rlaarlo! I am most certainly not afraid to do things differently. Too many people copy each other and have zero individuality. Thats not my style! Always true to myself :)
Very interested in this one for weeks, but the import tax in my country is crazy to get it. I was hoping for a test with the metal version upgrade, thanks for this video. Yes, it does look great with green metal parts, but I also agree this will make it breaks somewhere else and easier to change small parts than a full body.
Only thing I would say is the metal version is a great car except the body which shatters like glass. The carbon body is made of better material and i had to replace mine with that version.. the body was 35 pounds (50usd) so with hindsight may as well just buy the carbon version. Other then that its a great truck
Yes fantastic video I do like the Rlaarlo Omni-Terminator but like you said in the video mjx hyper 10208 is a best looking truck I'm ordering mine this month and should get it by September 😊😊😊😮
Good video mate, please dont get hung up about skateparks, that bashing spot in the woods is a stunning place, wish i had a spot like that near me, would i buy this over the MJX...no because im not taken with the body and have to buy direct from Rlaarlo and risk import fee, also im not in the market for a basher having blown a big pot on the Kyosho KB10L Tacoma
Agreed. I fairly soft on my trucks to keep costs down I can't destroy my trucks every outing. I'd also not have an issue with the size again lighter trucks do less damage when you get over confident in your ability. Also scales on these trucks are quite meaningless as there's nothing 1.1 to compare them to.
May I also say I 100% agree with you about seeing how much abuse the car/truck can take.. I have lots of money invested in all my arrmas and would rather not blow thousands of dollars out the window
You'd be correct I believe. I only do it for the sake of entertainment for my viewers, or to test a boastful basher to its limits. But generally, skateparks are nothing more than gratuitous destruction. Even the toughest RC bashers break. In my experience, light weight bashers with a lot of plastic perform the best at skateparks in terms of survivability.
I'm a Rlaarlo fan, but wouldn't take them to the skate park either. Metal chasis especially. Got $100 cars for that. Plus, you don't get the awesome dirt chem trails on concrete. Great vids,thanks 👍
Not everyone goes to a skate park. Yes it's fun to watch, but personally my kind of running is what your doing. Nothing like big dirt jumps. Or your place.
If this truck was a proper 10th scale this thing would have been hard to beat. There wouldn't be anything out there that handled as well as this truck. It handles good at 1/12 scale could you imagine bigger tires a little bit more power to it this truck would have been unstoppable. I think it would have been the top dog.
@@beyondRC im not so sure, 1/10 means more weight as well which means it will break easier. May be sacficing some durability and nimble handling making it bigger.,just my opinion. If you want 1/10 there are loads of options..
It has problems. Specifically the drive cups wear out 2-4 batteries in, even on stock and even with S2 Upgrades. The wheelie bar keeps bending and so do the rear shock screws. You don't need any of the metal upgrades, the plastics on it are actually really good. Only S2 CVDs dogbones and diff and drive cups. But even on that it's proving otherwise for many
Carbon all day long over the metal version, faster and looks so much better. Would definitely buy over the MJX. Everyone moans about the slightly smaller size but i think it's perfect and makes it more nimble and enjoyable to control.
Especially trucks with a metal chassis. That's great for durability, but landing on concrete with a flat metal chassis transfers the shock load to the ESC and motor. Bad stuff happens. I only take a plastic chassis beater to the skate park, and only with the full knowledge that I may be carrying it back to my car, broken. I might do this twice a year. I prefer to run on dirt, and sliding around dirt is more fun than wearing my tires out on concrete and breaking shocks or arms.
Hey! I somewhat agree with you on the skate park crap! I know people do it and people love to watch it...including myself! But! The whole time i watch it i am thinking what a dumb ass and i would never do that to my trucks. Dont get me wrong though certsin channels will take them to skate parks but they dont do insane things that we all know are going to break part and just swoop around the jumps in a nice calm fashion not just beating the shit out of their trucks abd i do enjoy that. Personally i envy your bashing area since its closer to my driving style! Great video! Sorry for the long comment!
My problem isn't with people running RC cars at skateparks because admittedly its quite fun. The problem i have is the torture/extreme tests which dont prove a lot. There are so many factors to consider as a reviewer not just durability. Some channels have such a huge influence and IMO they forget that and portray the wrong image. Especially for the younger generation getting into the hobby,
I love my aluminum edition and I do drive mine violently and have only broken 1 front cvd and a tiered end. Just the plastic end not entire tie rod. The body is total crap tho. I've put 20+ packs thru it. I haven't done the metal upgrades. I believe that will make it less durable
yes! Stick to the plastic! Apart from looking cool metal on RC cars unless shock towers, hubs, driveshafts and diffs anything else is a waste of time and adds weight for no reason!
i agree the metal body is crap, ours lasted about 4 packs before bits of plastic were hanging off the car,, the clear body replacement though is made of tougher stuff, we sprayed ours up a few months ago and no problems at all.
@@beyondRC proline body for the mx10 I believe fits but it's longer n a Lil wider. But you can see it over on my channel. It's done for now but it lasted 4 times longer than the stock "green" looks yellow to me body. I did bend my front shock tower n it being 7075 I was worried it might break when I bent it back but didn't. But like I said front cvd and front tierod end is all I've broken the cvd was just an odd landing hard of course but the rod end I ran it into my neighbors driveway drain. Head on. N that's all it did was broke the plastic rod end lol. I put the 19 tooth on mine and I'm getting over 43mph n it'll double back flip.
I personally dont really like skatepark for another reason: most often, they have not enough space to drive properly. Only getting up to speed an turning around is just not fun. But to be honest, maybe I will be used an Arrma grom as a dedicated skate park basher for space reasons.
Already got the MJX 10208 real 1/10, dont need this small 1/10 anymore. And Rlaarlo can forget about coming out with another real 1/10 monster truck. Your next monster truck must at least be a real 1/8 or bigger..
New Follower, long time RC enthusiast. I think that the comparison of the Metal to the Carbon is an unfair comparison if you are looking at speed as it has a lower KV. Also are you sure you aren't running with the throttle reduced? Looks awfully slow in comparison to my Carbon. I do not like the total destruction videos at skate parks either. Size? I think that a lot of companies are close when determining scale and its not that much smaller than an MT10. This one has a lexan not poly carb body so that is a negative. I think you would have better control if you turned on the gyro.
Personally i hate watching others abusing and not respecting their rc's yes it may help with future builds but most rcers don't want to break them it can get expensive. I have one that looks the same as thatand goes upto 70kmh but it didn't steer properly from the 1st run and after many messages i realised the seller was just giving me lip service and then ebay wouldn't help as they said its been too long. Although they say you should give the seller the chance to redeem then selves which i did. Now it won't even connect to the controller 😢 don't know what to do ?? 😢
absolutely. not everyone has the unlimited funds that some people have who can throw endless amounts of cash on a smashed up RC car. Also some channels forget how influential they are and showing the younger generation of today that this kind of destruction is normal is so damaging. I am a parent myself and my 6 year old drives the same way as me as i have taught him to respect his stuff not go out of his way to destroy it! Have you tried contacting Rlaarlo directly?
@beyondRC no I didn't as I purchased from ebay seller I sent them the all the proof they requested but they went quiet on me. I couldn't even find the seller to warn others and add a bad review. Annoying! Thanks for the reply btw always nice to be acknowledged:)
Skate parks are the most fun spots to drive if you have some self control. I rarely ever break anything when I go. And when I do, it's quite minor. But it's honorable to avoid them. No need to risk it if you don't want to!
I dont have an issue with people running their cars at skateparks but i do have an issue with fellow reviewers doing those durability type tests which are so pointless and just done for views and destruction. So many cars have been labelled as bad this way which is not acceptable. As reviewers we have to look at a product from every angle not just durability. I have driven RC cars in the past which are not durable at all but super fun and enjoyable. More to an RC car than all out durability. So many factors to consider which always get missed in the interest of 'getting views'
@beyondRC yeah 100%. But when done right, they are a great test. On an even playing field for sure. And not "Talbot" style lol. Stuff just breaks no matter what when you full send every jump
I share your point of view on skate parks, to me its just silly.. You wouldnt review a new Tesla, say its great on road intended use but it was a crap off road rally car so its scores badly,. RC cars are for fun, some on road, some better off road but everything will break when you crash it high speed at a concrete skate park so whats the point and what is it proving? Its just click bait for other you tube channels. We have a Corally Sketer which is a great off road car, its very durable and we have never had a problem with it, my 6 year old son loves it but I know we would smash it at a skate park no matter how durable it is. Anyway, we have an omni terminator and its a great car, very durable and super reliable, I personally dont mind its slightly smaller size, its a bit lighter which just adds to the durability and it fits in my back pack when we go to the park. We also like the HBX 2996a which we have, same again easy to take out when we go to the park. As I said we love the Sketer but its pretty big and hefty and when we take a few 4s batteries along its considerably more to carry when we go out. So, for me the size is not a problem, its only a bit smaller and it makes all the difference as the car and a few smaller 2700 mah 3s batteries are pretty light. Good video as always. 😁
Fuck the wankers! You do what you want to do on your channel. If companies choose to send you free cars to test that's on them. I've always found your content, top-notch and honest what's the point of taking a car to skate park just to absolutely destroy it as quick as possible, don't know about everyone else but that's not how I drive my RC
Man, you got to stop banging on about the scale size, it's all subjective. Put the typhon grom 1/18 along side most 1/14 and 1/16 scale buggies and it's longer than them. If they aren't directly saying which full size vehicle they are modelling off, just go by dimensions.
i literally did a comparison against all the popular 1/10 trucks (clip in video) and its the smallest in class... I will bang on for good reason. Oh and BTW im fully aware of how scale is determined. 40k channel and been in the hobby for 20+ Years i would be worried for everyone who follows me if i didn't..
Makes it hard to not bang on about it when every other comment on my videos is asking the same damn question “where’s the skatepark test?” I wouldn’t have to repeat myself 😂 it’s not my fault people have been so influenced by others it’s now an expectation
So a company sent you a free car with free parts and you won’t do a hardcore bash?, then why take the car and resell it for profit?. Very bad look for you good sir. You should have denied the car
i stand by my decisions and thoughts on skateparks. I'm not here to please an individual company. If they want to send me a product i do things my way or not at all. Not a bad look at all i have a great friendship with rlaarlo with respect both ways. They appreciate my thoughts on the subject.
How is it a bad look for him? That's kind of a stupid comment. He has said a million times how he feels about skatepark bashing and if anything him standing by that is a good look because he stood by his word and didn't just do what a big company wanted him to do.

exactly that. There is more to an RC car than durability at a skatepark. Not a good indicator and not a good way to review/judge an RC car

awesome!
Good video mate, please dont get hung up about skateparks, that bashing spot in the woods is a stunning place, wish i had a spot like that near me, would i buy this over the MJX...no because im not taken with the body and have to buy direct from Rlaarlo and risk import fee, also im not in the market for a basher having blown a big pot on the Kyosho KB10L Tacoma
Agreed. I fairly soft on my trucks to keep costs down I can't destroy my trucks every outing. I'd also not have an issue with the size again lighter trucks do less damage when you get over confident in your ability. Also scales on these trucks are quite meaningless as there's nothing 1.1 to compare them to.
its certainly not a bad size just smallest compared to the competition. But not necessarily a bad thing as you say lighter = less damage :/
May I also say I 100% agree with you about seeing how much abuse the car/truck can take.. I have lots of money invested in all my arrmas and would rather not blow thousands of dollars out the window
I’d be willing to bet that fewer than 5% of rc owners take their’s to a skate park.
for sure!
You'd be correct I believe. I only do it for the sake of entertainment for my viewers, or to test a boastful basher to its limits. But generally, skateparks are nothing more than gratuitous destruction. Even the toughest RC bashers break. In my experience, light weight bashers with a lot of plastic perform the best at skateparks in terms of survivability.
I'm a Rlaarlo fan, but wouldn't take them to the skate park either. Metal chasis especially. Got $100 cars for that. Plus, you don't get the awesome dirt chem trails on concrete. Great vids,thanks 👍
Not everyone goes to a skate park. Yes it's fun to watch, but personally my kind of running is what your doing. Nothing like big dirt jumps. Or your place.
Class mate, that place looks unreal for bashing around
It’s epic mate
Completely agree with you on the "durability tests." We don't need to see every RC channel bash at a skate park.
It does seems like a better truck than MJX because of the clearance that it have and ability to stay planted
Another downside is that parts take 2 weeks to arrive from China. Wish Amazon prime carried replacement/hopup parts.
The car that I got is a 1/14 scale rc car and came with 7.4V 2200mAh Lithium Battery what is the best battery I can get
I'd say it's overall a good buy for the money from what I've seen
If this truck was a proper 10th scale this thing would have been hard to beat. There wouldn't be anything out there that handled as well as this truck. It handles good at 1/12 scale could you imagine bigger tires a little bit more power to it this truck would have been unstoppable. I think it would have been the top dog.
100% agree they really missed a massive opportunity with this one!
@@beyondRC im not so sure, 1/10 means more weight as well which means it will break easier. May be sacficing some durability and nimble handling making it bigger.,just my opinion. If you want 1/10 there are loads of options..
It has problems. Specifically the drive cups wear out 2-4 batteries in, even on stock and even with S2 Upgrades. The wheelie bar keeps bending and so do the rear shock screws. You don't need any of the metal upgrades, the plastics on it are actually really good. Only S2 CVDs dogbones and diff and drive cups. But even on that it's proving otherwise for many
Carbon all day long over the metal version, faster and looks so much better. Would definitely buy over the MJX. Everyone moans about the slightly smaller size but i think it's perfect and makes it more nimble and enjoyable to control.
Me eithier, probably 99% of rc car guys don't go to a skatepark n break it to pieces
Especially trucks with a metal chassis. That's great for durability, but landing on concrete with a flat metal chassis transfers the shock load to the ESC and motor. Bad stuff happens.
I only take a plastic chassis beater to the skate park, and only with the full knowledge that I may be carrying it back to my car, broken. I might do this twice a year.
I prefer to run on dirt, and sliding around dirt is more fun than wearing my tires out on concrete and breaking shocks or arms.
@Boogie_the_cat hell hard as I run my slashes ill take plastic chassis
Hey! I somewhat agree with you on the skate park crap! I know people do it and people love to watch it...including myself! But! The whole time i watch it i am thinking what a dumb ass and i would never do that to my trucks. Dont get me wrong though certsin channels will take them to skate parks but they dont do insane things that we all know are going to break part and just swoop around the jumps in a nice calm fashion not just beating the shit out of their trucks abd i do enjoy that. Personally i envy your bashing area since its closer to my driving style! Great video! Sorry for the long comment!
My problem isn't with people running RC cars at skateparks because admittedly its quite fun. The problem i have is the torture/extreme tests which dont prove a lot. There are so many factors to consider as a reviewer not just durability. Some channels have such a huge influence and IMO they forget that and portray the wrong image. Especially for the younger generation getting into the hobby,
I love mine!!
I love my aluminum edition and I do drive mine violently and have only broken 1 front cvd and a tiered end. Just the plastic end not entire tie rod. The body is total crap tho. I've put 20+ packs thru it. I haven't done the metal upgrades. I believe that will make it less durable
yes! Stick to the plastic! Apart from looking cool metal on RC cars unless shock towers, hubs, driveshafts and diffs anything else is a waste of time and adds weight for no reason!
i agree the metal body is crap, ours lasted about 4 packs before bits of plastic were hanging off the car,, the clear body replacement though is made of tougher stuff, we sprayed ours up a few months ago and no problems at all.
@@beyondRC proline body for the mx10 I believe fits but it's longer n a Lil wider. But you can see it over on my channel. It's done for now but it lasted 4 times longer than the stock "green" looks yellow to me body. I did bend my front shock tower n it being 7075 I was worried it might break when I bent it back but didn't. But like I said front cvd and front tierod end is all I've broken the cvd was just an odd landing hard of course but the rod end I ran it into my neighbors driveway drain. Head on. N that's all it did was broke the plastic rod end lol. I put the 19 tooth on mine and I'm getting over 43mph n it'll double back flip.
Great message @2:40
Brutally honest at all times! Never changing.. haha
I personally dont really like skatepark for another reason: most often, they have not enough space to drive properly.
Only getting up to speed an turning around is just not fun.
But to be honest, maybe I will be used an Arrma grom as a dedicated skate park basher for space reasons.
Already got the MJX 10208 real 1/10, dont need this small 1/10 anymore. And Rlaarlo can forget about coming out with another real 1/10 monster truck. Your next monster truck must at least be a real 1/8 or bigger..
a 1/8 would be cool!
@@ocelee7794 market demand is through smaller avenues, doesnt compare to say, in China
I would not buy one I would buy mjx
Mjx have a 10th scale?
Random reply, You remind me a lot of Bear Grylls when you talk.Lol
hahaha love that! He is a legend! Major compliment! Yes! !
Look so much nicer and tidy them the mjx (internal).
i have to agree! Quality and finish of the components is also so much nicer!
I got a message for you! 😅😅
Love the channel and the brutal honesty. Im straight forward on my channel as well. It's the only way to go.
Thanks Bro! Best way to be. 100% straight talking and genuine. People will always appreciate it more when its brutally honest!
I’ve done the first comment👍👍👍
🎉
@@beyondRC I just got a reply from the creator himself =D
New Follower, long time RC enthusiast. I think that the comparison of the Metal to the Carbon is an unfair comparison if you are looking at speed as it has a lower KV. Also are you sure you aren't running with the throttle reduced? Looks awfully slow in comparison to my Carbon. I do not like the total destruction videos at skate parks either. Size? I think that a lot of companies are close when determining scale and its not that much smaller than an MT10. This one has a lexan not poly carb body so that is a negative. I think you would have better control if you turned on the gyro.
Skateparks are terrible, unless you are flying out of the bowl into grass.
Yes mate for sure 👌
Traxxas gets alot of hates but pushing ppl to go in skateparks with their cars is a money move lol
Just seen an RC channel destroy an expensive, one of a kind F1 RC car. Ah well, easy come, easy go. 😢
Idiotic behaviour 😂
I love the truck.
Personally i hate watching others abusing and not respecting their rc's yes it may help with future builds but most rcers don't want to break them it can get expensive. I have one that looks the same as thatand goes upto 70kmh but it didn't steer properly from the 1st run and after many messages i realised the seller was just giving me lip service and then ebay wouldn't help as they said its been too long. Although they say you should give the seller the chance to redeem then selves which i did. Now it won't even connect to the controller 😢 don't know what to do ?? 😢
absolutely. not everyone has the unlimited funds that some people have who can throw endless amounts of cash on a smashed up RC car. Also some channels forget how influential they are and showing the younger generation of today that this kind of destruction is normal is so damaging. I am a parent myself and my 6 year old drives the same way as me as i have taught him to respect his stuff not go out of his way to destroy it! Have you tried contacting Rlaarlo directly?
@beyondRC no I didn't as I purchased from ebay seller I sent them the all the proof they requested but they went quiet on me. I couldn't even find the seller to warn others and add a bad review. Annoying! Thanks for the reply btw always nice to be acknowledged:)
Skate parks are the most fun spots to drive if you have some self control. I rarely ever break anything when I go. And when I do, it's quite minor. But it's honorable to avoid them. No need to risk it if you don't want to!
I dont have an issue with people running their cars at skateparks but i do have an issue with fellow reviewers doing those durability type tests which are so pointless and just done for views and destruction. So many cars have been labelled as bad this way which is not acceptable. As reviewers we have to look at a product from every angle not just durability. I have driven RC cars in the past which are not durable at all but super fun and enjoyable. More to an RC car than all out durability. So many factors to consider which always get missed in the interest of 'getting views'
@beyondRC yeah 100%. But when done right, they are a great test. On an even playing field for sure. And not "Talbot" style lol. Stuff just breaks no matter what when you full send every jump
I share your point of view on skate parks, to me its just silly.. You wouldnt review a new Tesla, say its great on road intended use but it was a crap off road rally car so its scores badly,. RC cars are for fun, some on road, some better off road but everything will break when you crash it high speed at a concrete skate park so whats the point and what is it proving? Its just click bait for other you tube channels. We have a Corally Sketer which is a great off road car, its very durable and we have never had a problem with it, my 6 year old son loves it but I know we would smash it at a skate park no matter how durable it is. Anyway, we have an omni terminator and its a great car, very durable and super reliable, I personally dont mind its slightly smaller size, its a bit lighter which just adds to the durability and it fits in my back pack when we go to the park. We also like the HBX 2996a which we have, same again easy to take out when we go to the park. As I said we love the Sketer but its pretty big and hefty and when we take a few 4s batteries along its considerably more to carry when we go out. So, for me the size is not a problem, its only a bit smaller and it makes all the difference as the car and a few smaller 2700 mah 3s batteries are pretty light. Good video as always. 😁
Very good example there!
Under $250 Whitch one is best rc car
Nice
Bashing = breaking!
First
😊
None of rc trucks will never ever see a skate park ever but if that's your thing and you can afford it and have the time for repairs
You do you
exactly
Fuck the wankers! You do what you want to do on your channel. If companies choose to send you free cars to test that's on them. I've always found your content, top-notch and honest what's the point of taking a car to skate park just to absolutely destroy it as quick as possible, don't know about everyone else but that's not how I drive my RC
It's because it has some faults. So Rlaarlo wants to prove otherwise...
3 views in 43s, nice!
Economics forces me to just watch & don't care what # I am. 😂
Man, you got to stop banging on about the scale size, it's all subjective. Put the typhon grom 1/18 along side most 1/14 and 1/16 scale buggies and it's longer than them. If they aren't directly saying which full size vehicle they are modelling off, just go by dimensions.
i literally did a comparison against all the popular 1/10 trucks (clip in video) and its the smallest in class... I will bang on for good reason. Oh and BTW im fully aware of how scale is determined. 40k channel and been in the hobby for 20+ Years i would be worried for everyone who follows me if i didn't..

Stop banging on about what other channels are doing.
Like you said, you do your own thing. F**k the others..
Makes it hard to not bang on about it when every other comment on my videos is asking the same damn question “where’s the skatepark test?” I wouldn’t have to repeat myself 😂 it’s not my fault people have been so influenced by others it’s now an expectation
So a company sent you a free car with free parts and you won’t do a hardcore bash?, then why take the car and resell it for profit?. Very bad look for you good sir. You should have denied the car
i stand by my decisions and thoughts on skateparks. I'm not here to please an individual company. If they want to send me a product i do things my way or not at all. Not a bad look at all i have a great friendship with rlaarlo with respect both ways. They appreciate my thoughts on the subject.
How is it a bad look for him? That's kind of a stupid comment. He has said a million times how he feels about skatepark bashing and if anything him standing by that is a good look because he stood by his word and didn't just do what a big company wanted him to do.
@@Nerm78 then don’t take the car. Plain and simple lol
