I just received my carbon fiber Rlaarlo AK 917 today (thanks to your original review). Last week I received my Rlaarlo AM-X12 (again thanks to your review and a very nice discount coupon) and I was completely blown away with the detail and craftmanship of both. The Am-X12 is a blast to drive, haven't driven the 917 yet but will tomorrow. I just want to say thankyou for your advice and
reviews and keep up the good work
Rlaarlo certainly has a hit on their hands with the 917! The carbon fiber model is a beauty. Enjoy!
I'm jealous of everyone who has a large smooth area to run these cars. 😕
Oh, it is road salt, gravel and ice on all my roads at this time of the year.
Excellent Tutorial Video. Beautiful. Looking Forward To Future Videos. Thank You Steve.
Many thanks for sharing Captain, cant wait to see the "Return of Jedi Steve vs The Captain" with both Cars!!!
The Force will be with us
Well done Capt'n you did it again!...Just placed my order on the brushless like yours.
Excellent car at an excellent price!
What a ripper !!! Looks like a really smooth street or parking lot is needed. Because it's so low. But for $200 I'm in. I'll find a big place to run it !!! 👍👍👍
I was just talking to Riarrio. Still not shipping... I wonder if that May contest will actually happen?
The Intro music remembers me of the old John Carpenter movies.
Can't wait to get mine, and hopefully under the first 200 to pull the trigger " bought as they launched in 5 minutes" .
Fun video ! 😃
Meanwhile, Jedi Steve eyes his own spinoff channel!! 🤣
Thanks Steve!
oh lord that car is so beautiful! i wont save money in time for this for sure, drones got me broke
HERE AT 1,200 VIEWS! LETS GO!!! CAPTAIN DRONE YOU ROCK BRO!!!
Hi Steve....That is just insanely fast.......👍
Wow this really awesome
Nice colors cool set up
Very cool car for a great price👍🏽
Great video once again!
RLAARLO is developing an ESC that supports 6s. Regarding linear acceleration and track operation, RLAARLO is developing an intelligent driving assistance system that is expected to be launched before the end of April. Regarding the intelligent driving assistance system, the gyroscope is the simplest function, and RLAARLO has conducted intelligent assistance research and development on the controller, adjusting it intelligently according to the angle of the curve, so that novices can also achieve good results! Coming soon!
awsome video captain.
that is awesome 😎👍👌
Hi, awesome video which 3s battery did you use?
Thank you!!
Thanks for the like!!please share which 3s battery you used! Thanks
So sorry about your camera, great video and a cool crash 👍🚗🏁🏁
Good evening captain really cool video nice car
I’m not getting one if it’s not a Captain Drone addition! 👍as always
Very nice! Might get the brushless carbon fiber. However, I could not find the 4s battery for it on the website. Would you be able to inform me of which 4s battery I need?
Go on AMAZON and get yourself a 4S 3000 mAh battery with XT60 connector
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you. Exactly the info I was looking for. However, even with the carbon fiber version, Rlaarlo told me I have to upgrade the motor to use a 4S battery, so I may just go for the 3s.
@@Binkoro The carbon version has a 120 amp ESC which is 4s. The version I used in this video is the 60 amp ESC which is 3S.
Good review again Steve.
Hi Steve.....Ordered the brushless red one. Is the charger supplied okay or do you recommend getting a better one. Thanks
USB charger is supplied, but yes, eventually get yourself a quality 3S lipo battery and a quality RC Hobby battery charger (I've reviewed many on this channel and even have videos showing how to use a charger).
Okay Steve I try to find it on the website but I cannot find it I like to get one but I cannot find the information how to get one could you put more information down on the website
Just click on the link I posted, then scroll down close to the bottom and you'll see each model listed.
Enjoy the weekend
Good price and quality
Great vídeo my friend 👍👌
Thank you 👍
Full power..
Then hits full power 😁
Knew you were gonna crash it then bro.. your concentration went 😬😬
Gutted for you..
Cool video though.. I've been thinking of buying this but I want a clear shell so I can paint it red.. not a big fan of the standard colours..
Hello captain drone. Can I ask you a question? When you buy from China directly do you pay customs in America and if so how much does it charge you? Regards Spyros
I live in CANADA. Customs works like this.... if you buy something from CHINA and you have it sent to you via POSTAL services (CHINA POST to your USPS) then 90% of the time you do not pay customs. If you have it sent via a COURRIER service like FEDEX, UPS, DHL, then you pay customs.
I bought the roller, and I checked the rollers had mid-motor, I see this video I'm anxious to have mine
Just checked the website still mounted at the back like the rtr
I need to correct the rtr or roller is on the back, if you see this is a mistake I made 😅
Cool Video again.
I preordered this car and still waiting. I hope to get it soon.
End of April you should have it
Only thing that got me about it is if it’s supposed to be a race car I guess basically a 24 hour why did they fit it with a spare wheel when race cars have pits?
Nobody knows, but I ain't complaining about a free wheel
@@Nathan-qt2zi so you can actually take that wheel out of the car and use it that’s not bad
Great video thank you can't wait to get mine hopefully by May 😢
They told me shipping begins mid April to end April
I ordered a in first minutes of pre-order interval and still no info about shipment, nothing. Its shame with this big propagation has no service which can inform customer by the mail approx date of delivery.
@@martins2657 In the vid I mentioned shipping begins April 20th and later. You’ll receive a notification at that time (when it ships). When I ordered mine, I didn’t receive a confirmation until it shipped. Not the best system, but that’s what they use.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Okay. Thank you so much for the reply. I must be patient.
Did I miss the carbon fiber wings in the parts, or they’re going to be a rare item?
The first few hundred orders will receive them as gifts, but there’s a price listed for them.
As well as the gold plated 52T spur gear necklace (according to the main site.)
Thought they’d be for sale; for those that don’t mind paying.
Apparently they are being shipped separately since the cars were shipping out quickly to the first 20 people. The other 200 will receive them in the box.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I got that part.
I was referring to them wings being available to the rest of the people, or not.
I didn’t see them in parts or upgrades, on their site.
I figured if they had a price to it ($29.99) the average customer can just buy them.
@@creativ3vision These ones? rlaarlo.com/products/tail-wing-ak-917
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 YES! : )
I couldn’t find them 🤦🏻♂️
Thank you for the link.
You’re the best.
This color is derived from the Lamborghini EVO
Very cool RC car...
Does this have a gyro?
Thanks for the review!
No, but you don't need a gyro.
It has a type of gyro to stay straight at speed
Sounds good
Can you do another fpv drone vid?
Yes, more on the way
Okay I'm spending way too much money on my drones. Now you're giving me the itch for cars again LOL I can't scratch that itch right now LOL I live in Florida and I went home from work yesterday to a Hot house. Thank God I know somebody in the AC industry that came out within the hour and five hundred bucks later I have a cool house again LOL. My fun money is getting blown
Great Video.
So nice😍😍😍
To be competitive in speed running, single motor class, you need to hit 200 MPH. NOT KPH.
Ummm… not for $200 😂
Yea, with a £1500 car, I don't expect this to be anywhere near my infraction, but for the money, even if it does 80, that's pretty good.
@@Nathan-qt2zi infraction is ARRMA quality BASHER and also super heavy on 6S or if you upgrade it to 8S so it requires more road to get up to speed. These new small size super cars hit top speed quicker and require less road… but they are not bashers, although this AK 917 is built extremely well to withstand most wipeouts.
@CAPTAIN DRONE yea, my infraction has a max 8 g2 and a 17 tooth pinion, so I can still slide mine around. I can't wait to get my ak917 just going to be a fun little car.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Lmao. That is true.
Damn that fast
Woah thats fast
Very cool
Great video...very informative. Personally, I'm looking forward to receiving the CF RTR I ordered (I know that, all but a few of those who received review units received the brushless aluminum versions...only a few received the CF version). Regarding the damaged camera, thankfully, if it ceases to function properly, that particular camera is relatively inexpensive to replace....think of all those who've lost/damaged their GoPro cameras.
At the same time, there are a few things I wish you had pointed out (things that other RC TH-camrs who received these pointed out) - that the unit you received is not a 'production' unit, but is actually a 'pre-production' unit; that reviewers received items that aren't actually included with the production units (such as the chassis protector); or that the "personalization" of the chassis is not something you requested, or even something that can be ordered (essentially, Rlaarlo did this to help prevent TH-cam reviewers from selling their AK-917s, which would violate the review unit agreement). I am also aware of some other 'differences' between the review units, and the actual production units that will start shipping soon, but I will refrain from going into them here.
Note that, while I do have an RC TH-cam channel, I am not one who received a review unit (my channel is far too new, not so I have a large subscribe base, so I don't receive such benefits)...I had to purchase mine with my own money, like almost everyone else. However, I can confirm that I am among the first 500 pre-orders (those who know about the pre-order "bonus" items will understand). To anyone interested in the AK-917, I HIGHLY recommend getting your orders in ASAP...as I understand it, once the pre-orders start shipping (which should be in approx 1-2 weeks), the price will increase to the 'regular' price. Don't quote me on that...as I said, that's just from what I understand, and comes from another TH-camr. 🤙🏼
I do have the Carbon unit ordered as well as I'm curious as to how I can make it something of interest.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I know RC Kicks & Tomley RC, both, received CF review units, and both ordered the brushless aluminum version. I've already started putting together a list of optional parts...but, I'm holding off placing the order until I receive my car, and determine what (if anything) else might be needed. I'm not expecting the AK-917 to be the same quality of the XO-1, or Limitless...but, Rlaarlo could surprise me (and others).
@@ninthislandrc I have the XO-1 and limitless (actually I have pretty much all the fast Traxxas/Arrma/Losi vehicles). The quality of the AK917 is outstanding for a 1/10th scale at the price point (nothing even comes close at the price).
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 'Interesting' wording...I'm not referring to quality "at the price point", but to quality in-general. That's the type of comment that typically requires "reading between the lines". I don't expect the AL-917 to be equal to Traxxas & Arrma quality, but (hopefully) at least close to Losi quality...and, better than Tamiya quality.
Getting back to your wording, I completely understand that, sometimes, reviewers who received products for free feel 'obligated' to not say anything bad about the product their reviewing. As such, I also understand that, IF there is anything "not good" about a promotionally-received product, said reviewers who received the product might elect to not point these things out (for obvious reasons, doing so could lead said reviewers to not receiving free products from manufacturers in the future).
In dating that, I am, in NO way, indicating that you are doing what I described above...obviously, viewers have no way of actually knowing which reviewers are being 100% honest, and which are "pandering to the manufacturers". However, I can say that, when I receive my AK-917, having purchased it myself, and not being bound by any "constraints", I will be "open" about everything I believe is 'good', as well as 'bad', in my video. Although there are some TH-camrs I question the degree of "honesty" in their review videos...and, I am NOT saying you are one of them...I continue to watch videos from all channels I am subscribed to, as even the "not completely honest" ones still provide valuable information.
Speaking of "valuable information", thanks to you, I now know there's a super-cool Airwolf fuselage available. I luv your videos...but, my bank account hates you. Keep doing a great job. 🤙🏼
Arrma Vendetta 70mph+ for $400 USD
Wow its so unstable and uncontrollably wobbles even at slow speed
Hillarious!
I like it maybe later
The problems start when you need parts.
That would be incorrect with this baby... Check the website, selling parts is their business.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798
Do they ship from America? If not, that’s a deal breaker for me. Every thing I run, I can go to five different shops all within 10 miles and they have what I need on the wall. I’m not interested in anything I can’t get parts for within a couple days, and for which I can’t speak to a real person about when there’s a problem with the product. To me, it negates the savings of a cheaper product.
Decent price
Yeah Riaarlo customer service is Horrible !!! I purchased a AK-917 carbon fiber RTR on 4/29/23 I paid extra for expedited shipping ok on 5/6/23 I got a shipping email so about a week passes so I track it and it says waiting for carrier/DHL to pick up item. So I message DHL and they said Riaarlo only made a electronic email that they could not pick up item, So I message Riaarlo and again and again and again so on and no response nothing to this day about my order WTF Riaarlo??? I will never purchase anything from them again !!!!!!!!!!!!
Rlarrrlo has indicated (last month) that the response for their product was much greater than expected. This means they have to book time at the factory along with parts/assembly to make the additional product. Everyone who ordered the first batch of 500 items received theirs quick.... everyone else, well when the product is ready, it will ship.
When they start selling it for regular price, I think it’s too expensive.
The company has reported that they have sold more than expected, so now production needs to ramp up again. They will still sell at the full price, but now it the time to get in on the savings as the prices are at the COST point for the company, so very little profit. If you think prices are high, go visit Traxxas, Losi or Arrma.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 traxxas, losi and arrma…Who doesn’t know them? My opinion is at full price from them and that’s only my opinion. I hope I didn’t hurt your feelings and your Rlaarlo company. Sorry.
I have one if any on wants to buy it
please change your name for captain RC lol
The 3 battery looked like it ran exceptionally well I think you talked me in to ordering one it only money 👍 great crash on the ice
Comment #4 POG

USB battery lipo charger is so horrible
Not
I am going to tell you about my experience with this garbage car and this garbage brand, I bought the Rlaarlo ak 917 carbon fiber version, and the first thing when making the purchase I bought it with fast shipping paying 19 euros more for said shipping, supposedly it arrived in a week, well, lie, it took me 20 days to arrive, when it arrived it arrived with the steering out of adjustment, with one wheel facing one side and the other facing the opposite side, after looking closely at the car I realized that the screw that The connection between the servo arm and the servo horn was loose, and then I realized that one of the two small screws that the servo horn has is missing. In addition, this car has a serious signal loss problem. I am writing to the support. technician of this garbage brand, and until today they have been giving me my time, they say that the missing screw is too small to send it, anyone who buys this car forgets to be able to return it is impossible, they brag that they have good technical support and it is a garbage, just like the customer treatment, I do not recommend products from this brand, it is a waste of money
Niceeeee rig!!! Hey @CaptainDrone can you find your own logo times 12 on your video here at 1:00 to 1:15?? I found all 12 and it's pretty cool and pretty kinda of secret to find these x12 Capitan drone logo, let's see if you can find it too, and anybody else if you find 12, please like it here! 👍🏼😁
i love that car
And me
Hey bud I'm trying to get ahold of that company that made that car I ordered mine on the 28th of April I've sent them dozens of emails I haven't got a tracking number my car hasn't shown up and I paid for spee-dee delivery and still haven't gotten the car are you able to help with find more contact info other than a email
I still have not received my tracking number and rc anyone else having this problem
Don't fret, your car is coming. The issue is there was way more demand than supply ordered, so the factory is off building other things before it returns to this model of car. When you get a notice it is on its way, it then takes a little less than a week before it arrives at your door. Everyone who was part of the first 500 (I believe that was the number) ordered, has received theirs. You must have ordered at the end of this. The company usually responds but I'm guessing they are overwhelmed.
Ok thx 🙏 how long do you think I should wait
@@JohnShaw-h4v not sure. Keep emailing them. Hopefully they put out another update. I have a friend who order parts weeks ago for his car and nothing has arrived yet, but he does have his car.
@@JohnShaw-h4v Also when you email them, write in clear proper English, then translate it to Chinese in Google Translate. Send the translated version and you may receive a response faster in Chinese, which you then translate at your end.
Arrma Vendetta is faster out the box and less than a hundred more.....
