No way! I'm not an ambi-turner either!! 😮 Must be a Canadian thing. That park is sick, love that kicker 👍
Hahaha! Hansel, he's so horst right now. Hansel. 😂😂😂
I've watched all of the videos with the X12S, and this is the one that finally made the decision for me - I'm buying it. I grew up in the 80s with those AA buggies, and they were a blast. I left one buggy out in the rain and it died, and the other one was 4wd, but I disconnected the front wheels because it was underpowered. But this thing is just amazing.
You won't regret it, this buggy is so wicked! I've got an affiliate link in the description box, too. If you don't mind using that, it'll help support the channel and help bring more reviews like this one to TH-cam. 👍🏻
Your video is absolutely amazing! The cinematography and editing are top-notch, making the whole experience so enjoyable to watch. It's clear that you have a true passion for RC, and your excitement shines through whether you're at the skatepark, hitting the ramps, or drifting.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! It's all about the RC love! 😁
Very good Fil! Looks like they are doing a great job over at Rlaaaaaaaarrerrllllooo! You were cooking about in the bowl there pal 🔥😎
@theoagrc it's my RC wok and I'm cooking up a storm, baby!!! 😀
Wow. That is one of the best looking buggies I have seen in years. I will have one soon. Thanks for the video! ❤
It's a beast! And a great value! Thanks for watching! 👊🏼
Hi Fil - man, now you've got me excited! Mine is still in the post though! 😓 It looks and goes every bit as good as I was hoping! Man that skatepark footage was bloody awesome, those backflips! 😮😮 I don't think I've ever heard you laughing so much when testing an RC, and that says something! Awesome review as always, bro! 😎👊👍
Mark, I don't think I've ever laughed so hard while testing a new RC. Honestly, I did not expect this buggy to do what it did. It just kinda kept asking for more, lol! And before you know it, we're back flipping at 40 mph! It was insane!!! 😳
Hope you get your soon, pal! Looking forward to seeing your review on it. 🍻👊🏼👍🏻
Nice RC plane Fil!!!
😂😅🤣
Loving the skate park footage dude!
👍 👍
Haha, thanks pal! She loves to fly! 😂
Mine is on the way!!! Good content big dawg!
Excellent! You're gonna love it! 😁👊🏼
Iol l never thought l would say this ever!!! I say put that RTR on the shelf to admire it's too pretty to run and mess up!🤣
Man these RTR are so advanced nowadays and l get that but man at last this one has the looks too!
But hell bash it man and it sure goes some and as another YT guy says send it too the moon and Fil you friggin did! That was high bud. Those shocks are not just about good looks they work superbly! Tough as nails too! Fun vid you definitely had fun with that little sucker!
I will always be a kit guy and joined at the hip with Tamiya but respect has to be given to these rtr buggies and especially this one they nailed it and as a customer can we ask more??
Cheers buddy.
You said it, pal! There's an undeniable excellence about some of these little RTR's. We'll be die-hard Tamiya guys for life, no doubt about that. But there is something awesome about the new RC technology that is a lot of fun to play around with! 👊🏼🍻
Great video! Ours is still in the box on the shelf, waiting to do some speedrun test with it. This will be our next over 70mph project!
Excellent! You're gonna love it! 🤩
Oh, the times have changed. The little kits are just wild now.
Right?!?! I would never dream of taking a Tamiya Hornet to the park! 😂
It's a great time to be involved. 👍🏻
Great review, looks awesome! 👍
Excellent, thanks for the feedback! 😀👊🏼
This video is so good buddy. I've been wanting one of these since I saw the advertisements for them. Ordered one the day after they were available. Hope I get it soon. Still says order unfulfilled, but I trust this company to get it out as soon as possible. At least I hope! Dying to give it a bash nice job, buddy.
Thanks for watching! You're gonna love your X12S! 😊
you really need to take it out in the springtime when it's not raining and warmer and then you can truly enjoy the full potential of that little buggy..cheers bud! time to go xmas shopping. and no..not for myself..family members..how i wish i could buy one of them, but alas, times have been changing..
@@garykee1 Merry Christmas, my friend! Have an excellent weekend! 👊🏼
That skate park is awesome.
Yeah, dude! It's non-stop entertainment! 😁
Awesome video! Mine arrives Tuesday (Dec. 17th) 😃
Thanks for watching! Enjoy your X12S! 🤩
I got mine a few days ago same color. I have not ran a battery through it yet. Matter fact I have about eight new RC‘s. I have not run a battery through yet. In the last week I must’ve had six or seven delivered and I’ve had crappy weather. Hopefully, I can get a few of them outside tomorrow & on a lighter note. At least I got a few shorts up of all the new cars and trucks that came this week.
Too many RC's and not enough charged batteries. A good problem to have. 😁😢🍻
Can't wait for mine
Youre gonna love it. 👍🏻
@@poorboysrc I'm going to swap the stock pinion for the upgraded one when it comes, I think it will be easier to remove before using it
Bro I want that buggy, It's got all kinds of good upgrade parts. Hope Larlo come out with a crawler .
Excellent video Fil!
You'd love it, pal! They're on sale ATM, too. They do have a crawler, but it's big! Haha. 1/7 scale!
Great footage. Amazing driving skills 👍🏻
Thanks, dude! 😁👊🏼
Nice buggy and excellent skate park session 👍🤝
Yeah, dude! Non-stop entertainment! 😁
Awesome video! 👍🏻💯
Thanks, dude! 😁
Yeah mine arrives Tuesday! 👍🏻
Awesome! Let me know what you think! 😁
Awesome stuff Fil. Looks like great fun 👍
Absolutely! Thanks for watching! 👊🏼
Awesome review makes me want to order one great job 🤘
Thanks for watching! I think this little buggy will put a big smile on your face. It's awesome! 🤘
That is a hot buggy. 🔥
can't wait for mine to come in
Man id love to fpv this and long range explore with it.
Ooooh, that's a great idea! 🤔
@poorboysrc yea I just did it to henglong tank. But I done it to a DIY tank and a wltoys 124016.. funny when people want tp follow them to show their friends haha
@divingfalconfpv4602 I'm actually working on an FPV video as we speak! Radiolink sent me their FPV system to try out. I've got it set up on my new Tamiya Hornet EVO. Lol!
@poorboysrc if u like it. Look into akk 3w or higher vtx for long range thru buildings. If u want digital there is dji and walksnail .. I'm using walksnail moonlight on m1a2. Trying to do video on tank but I forgot to record working on it. There's just some random clips 🤣 🤣 🤣
That thing looks awesome. I looked over their website, and I kinda wish they made an 1/8 scale GT class car. I'm going to need one soon anyway. Or really, any of the bigger scale stuff.
They're still a very young company, so hopefully we'll see some larger scale stuff in their lineup soon. 👍🏻😉
15:07 bringing us footage from 2022? 😂😂❤❤
Lol! Totally! 😂
Awesome car. First well constructed, and then came the run. Right out of the box it comes pretty close to my PBRC SRC results😂. But the price relly pushed me away😮. Very budget.
Out of the box, it's sooo nice! You'd love it, Dirk. 😁
It's a great price. Cheap even.
Racing car Video 🔥👍♥️👑👏
Yeah, baby! 😁
Traxxas need to start getting thier act together after this little thing!! It's time for the takeover!!
Rlaarlo is bringing their A-Game!
The one thing I wish Rlaarlo would do is have RTR kits with unpainted bodies so that you can just skip the trademark skirting liveries without having to drop the cash on an extra shell. At least they are making clear bodies easier to get now.
Good feedback, brother! They need to hear this from customers. The rollers are coming out now, which checks a lot of these boxes. 👍🏻
I might just have to start owing Rlarrlos now... That thing is sick! 🤒
Haha, honestly, man! They're so good! They have their pros and cons, like any RC does, but overall bang for the buck is outta this world! And the performance... Well, watch the video! Haha! 👊🏼🍻🤣
@@poorboysrcI just do what you tell me too! 😂 Lol
Right now, I got a HRN Wearwolf in the mail, and I'm also waiting on a CEN Sicario.
This one is definitely next on my list tho!
@Hillbillypunk follow my advice, I'd never steer you wrong! Oh, wait, isn't this how cults start? Are there any RC cults yet? Can we become RC cult pioneers??? 🤣
@@poorboysrchey, I'm down as long as I'm on the winning side of whatever the "agenda" is hahaha
@Hillbillypunk i think it starts with buying a small Island in Croatia, dressing in cool white robes, and kinda going from there.
We can build a sick RC track, that's a given! 🤣
Too many options. lol. I will definitely have to decide what I will be added to my collection in 2025. I have many RC plane projects next year as well but I’m saving space and budget for at least 1 additional Rlaarlo! Great vid as always.
It's hard to pick one, Alton. Haha. A good problem to have, right?! 😁
Keep your excellent content coming, my man! Always nice to hear from you. 👊🏼🍻
Just ordered mine
Excellent! 🎸 🎸 🎸
The one
My man! 😁🍻
Thanks for the review on confirming this little buggy isn't worth the buy! Hoping rlaarlo can stop making junk cars one day.
It's by far the wildest performing 1/12 buggy I've ever seen in my 40 years in the hobby. But hey, to each their own. 🤷♂️😁
I would love to see a 1/10 scale
Man, me too!!! 🤩🤩🤩
@poorboysrc I have noticed a significant emphasis on 1/12 scale recently....
@rocpile for sure. I think a lot of these young RC companies need to start small and work their way up. Smaller cars are tougher, and I think that helps these new companies establish some brand recognition, and get their revenue to a point where they can start experimenting with new designs. 👍🏻
How do you program the Rlaarlo esc's? Great lookin buggy, looking forward to the beach run!
No programming required. Just plug and play. 😁
where to grab those shock tower covers?
rlaarlo.com/?ref=qewvzrsp - Search "RZ001" and they'll pop up!
The thing is junk defect out of box, breaks at aluminum tower via four small mount screws into plastic where it cracks and snaps with no extra center support or any support at frame posts because frame is extended. They even knew about issue and fixed it out of box on ROG1 model but did not fix it on this model
Did you watch my video?
th-cam.com/video/YBE0xmsyK6M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=IyTb8XXouMfh3S_P
How does this compare to the size of the Typhon Grom?
I don't have a Typhon Grom for reference, but the Groms are more 1/16 scale, where the X12S is an authentic 1/12. 👊🏼
@@poorboysrc ok, I couldn’t remember if you had a Grom or not.
How does it make you feel when a relatively new company makes a buggy like this for a price like that and then you compare it with a recent Tamiya or Kyosho product?
Oooh, it was only a matter of time until someone asked that....
It's a sign of the times, is all I can say. Customers are asking for more, and want to pay less. And Rlaarlo is giving it to them. Good looks, good speed, extreme durability, and low price point = successful business strategy. I can not deny the value or fun for my money factor with this brand. It simply can not be beat.
You and I have been watching each other's channels for a lot of years. We're both huge Tamiya and Kyosho fans. All I can say is at this point we're comparing apples to oranges.
Tamiya is and always will be my happy place and true love of RC. The excitement of a kit arriving and having to build it is still there after nearly 40 years in the hobby. The box art, the tire smell, the decision of which motor to use. And then.... the build! Aaahhhh, Tamiya therapy, I call it. I love building up a fresh Tamiya. ❤️❤️❤️
But there's no way I'm going to take my new Hornet EVO and back flip it 16 feet in the air over and over again and expect it to survive. It's just not built to do that.
So to answer your question, I'd say that at this point, the hobby has changed. A lot! The unreal value of a Rlaarlo is out there, and there's a huge market for them. But the die-hard Tam/Kyo crew is still alive and kickin', and will always love their kits builds. It's just two very different market segments in the same hobby and I want to enjoy them both. 😁
Great question! 😉👊🏼🍻
@@poorboysrc Very interesting to read your opinions and I agree with much that you say.
My first RC vehicle in the early 1980's was a Tamiya buggy and their products captured my imagination for decades. I don't think any other RC manufacturer has given us so many iconic names that are instantly recognisable - Rough Rider, Sand Scorcher, Blazing Blazer, The Grasshopper, Clod Buster, Lunchbox, Wild Willy, etc. For this, I feel a certain degree of loyalty to the Tamiya brand.
But as the years have turned into decades, my collection has expanded and many other brands have tempted me to part with my hard-earned cash. The Tamiya kit build has always been a huge part of the pleasure of the RC hobby but over the last decade or so, I felt that their new products didn't capture my attention like they used to. Of course, the BBX was a great release that really brought the joy of Tamiya back for me. I hope Tamiya will give us some other products like this in the coming years. Re-releases are nice but I feel a little bit swamped by them. The problem is that there are so many great alternatives nowadays and the younger generations of RC enthusiasts do not feel the nostalgic connection to Tamiya and Kyosho that we do.
Then there is the pricing. In UK, the BBX is well over 500 GBP to get up and running. I have bought some fantastic kits from China that give equally good quality, a much higher specification, but are significantly cheaper. I have seen quite a lot of negative comments about Chinese products saying they are all junk but this is simply not true. They are changing the industry and they have some amazing products. It is certainly an interesting time for RC enthusiasts.
P.S. I am hoping for a re-release of the Tamiya Honda City Turbo/Willy's Wheeler in 2025, so forget what I said about re-releases above!
cant go back to body clips after arrma
Celebrate with a PEZ 😐🤸🏼♂️🤸🏼♂️🤸🏼♂️
Pez is life. Without it, we're just a bunch of empty flapping heads. 🤣
@@poorboysrc now that, is some flat out wisdom.
Anyone know if that 169 comes with a 3s Battery? Box contents shows a charger but no battery.. just curious.
Yep, that's with battery! 👍🏻
The F1 themes look good! Too bad they are not licensed liveries. Then again, I bet the buggies would cost 4x more if they were licensed.
@canuckchuck8836 yeah, that's always the trade-off, right? 🤔
@@poorboysrc Yeah...don't get me wrong...I think the Red Bull and RB inspired colourways look awesome on those buggies!
1/10th scale or nope!
@@phoneuser3569 fingers crossed they come out with more 1/10 releases in 2025. 👍🏻
I love that typhon body....ummm rrrr uhh rlarrlo body...ya definitely an original rlarrlo designed shape. Definitely not a rip off of the typhon. Everyone is going to say, " it's a buggy body they didn't rip off anyone"... cmon.
🤣
It's not on 100% it's faster than 40mph
For sure had it at 100%, just running the smaller pinion. 👊🏼
Rlaarlo Certainly gets one excited with their latest releases🫡
Yeah, their marketing team is on point!
I think the saying is:
"It EASIER to ask for forgiveness than permission." 😅
I learned that one from my ex girlfriend 😅😅😅🫤😒
Bwahahahaha!!! Stay tuned for more life tips, kids! 🤣🤣🤣
