I appreciate you sharing my speedrun pass and channel in your video, thanks brother!! My fastest ak917 did 181, my new 3s one is up to 139mph, they are great cars capable of high speeds without changing any drivetrain. I plan to take the rtr dual motor to 150mph when it shows up
181mph is crazy! I’m interested to see what these will do at high speed. It’s really stable out the box, but I’ve heard the carbon one is still a little sketchy. Maybe it’s lighter 🤷🏼♂️..I’ve got both but not had a chance to run the carbon one yet. Anyway… look forward to seeing what you can achieve 🤘
@@TomleyRC thanks, plan to run out of the box baseline with the dual, then add onyx packs which may fry the stock esc’s 😂, then I’ll swap the esc’s. I believe the dual motor with the rlaarlo supplied motors will achieve 150+ mph
@@turboboostHoonicow honestly the diffs were never any issue or cause for the car being stable or driving straight for speedruns. I made a point to keep my fastest car with all stock components and stock unopened diffs
It looks like a great car. The one test where you drove it one hand and accelerated from a complete stop and it went straight says a lot. The slo mo of the jump was excellent.
I'm not usually drawn to on-road vehicles but Rlaarlo is making it very tempting. This thing looks like a lot of fun! Thanks for the review and I hope life is treating you well!
I really like the little details on the body including the entire presentation. It almost reminds me of a Kyosho with the finer details. Id just hope that replacement parts are easy to come by.
It’s sick the progress this company has made because we all remember that first model known for cogging and now here they are making out-of-the-box speed run cars💯🤙..
Was thinking of getting the dual motor one. But I live so far away from larger flats of asphalt so I bought a MT 1/8 scale instead. Might pick up the roller in future. It's looks like a great model to deck your shelf
Bit of ingenuity there with the spoiler at the end! Think the bigger manufacturers might need to pay attention to what Rlaarlo are doing as they are certainly churning out some good stuff
Nice looking car but I’d worry about mechanical longevity and parts availability a big issue-have to order from them and them only won’t find parts anywhere else so it’s a no go. Great review thanks.
I found a better use for the channel 5 dial, instead of using it for the rear wing which works better when connected to the throttle anyway! Buy yourself a Dumborc X6FG receiver with gyro!!!! now that dial is useful!!!! not sure why Rlaarlo didn't think of this but I know the Rlaarlo gyros aren't the best & they cost alot more than a Dumborc G6FG! p.s it binds up super easy to the Rlaarlo transmitter too😉
Not strictly true… you need downforce to keep the wheels on the ground. But yeah, it is used more for cornering, I didn’t know whether it would effect the handling… ie… lift the front wheels up a bit and make it unstable
Audi tt lifted and you crashed at high speed no spoiler and escort cosworth whale tail pushed the car into the road as intended. So even a really sleek design (the tt) without some help will lift at speed (and you will probably die). Real life.@@TomleyRC
Got my carbon version ordered right at 11 this morning with a couple of gyros. Going to be towing these around the track with the up comming Redcat COE hualer
Just rec'd mine....what a nice piece of kit. First impression is this is easily the nicest R/C I've ever owned. Haven't charged it or run it yet. The fit and finish right out of the box is head and shoulders above the tamiya's I've owned for double the price.
I messed with droop, other tires and tightened a few things on the 917, on 2s it was ok for going straight but 3s it was hard to keep straight, on 4s I never got to full throttle or speed without going all over. Maybe I should look at this new release as a street basher not a speed runner, keep my limitless v2 / castle 8s setup for that duty…
Beautiful car!! If that was tamiya . It would cost almost $2000!! I tried to make a short video of my Vorteks and a DHK Zombie that I put a beetle body with lights on both. I could not do it. Have no idea how you drive and take a video with your phone. I was all confused. Lol. I have been driving RC Cars for over 30 years. Started out racing indoors. Then crawlers and everything else RC, Do you have your phone mounted on some sort of rod or something. Probably still couldn’t do it!! I was trying to do a simple speed run. But was forgetting to follow the car. It’s amazing how you make all these great videos 👍👍👍👍
great review! and also, might i add that you learned your lesson and didn't run it down a dead end road with a "OH S#$T" moment..but with saying that, i did miss that reaction. keep up the great vids!
I hope they fixed the weak rear upper arms. The connecting bolts on the 917 keep shearing off near the bolt threads on both plastic and aluminum units. Also, the rear exhaust light housing breaks on any rear impact. Good car for the money.
Wow. This is quite the dream rc car I’ve been looking for since the Tamiya Group C chassis cars which I actually have one that was a re-release version last year of 2022. This might be my second rc car I might just have in the collection. 👀
my metal ak917 kind of did 120km/h "out of box". I used included 40 tooth pinion and 63 tooth spur. And with aliexpress 3300 30c 3s battery i got 114km/h. Better battery and smoother tarmac would maybe propel it up to 120.
I have the metal version and the lights don't operate the same as the CF version (signals,brakes). Well, the radio system is DumboRC and they have the receiver that has the LED ports. Will have to rewire the individual lights to get it to work right though.
Ha! Someone made a production adjustable wing. I played around with my xo1 with one hooked to a gyro and an rpm sensor so at speed and angle of attack, it would auto adjust. O could not get consistent resutls and i gave up. But im sure it would work. Also, true antilock brakes and tacktions control is completely possible as well.
Toe in, body height can really effect straight line stability. Do you have a watt meter, or esc with data so you can check actual power level? Wonder how it would compete with the top touring car brands on a prepped track or carpet?
Great video on RC cars. You're so thorough with explaining & detailing these RC cars I had to subscribe & like. @Tomley RC, Do they have an RC car/truck that's good for street & trail with switchable tires & ability to raise & lower the suspension?
Some of the speed run cars could do with that rear wing, and if it can act as a break it would definitely help. 🤔 The only issue is that small servo probably won't do anything above 150mph. 🥴
That white looks freakin awesome.. I know the "real" 1-1 has those wheels but my ocd(or autism) can't except they don't match... At all , Drove me nuts on the original car , lol 😂
But how does it handle on a track? Can you track it or is it a straight line runner and basher? My Xray TC14 clone cannot do speed runs, it handles great!
Not sure about the first 1/10 dual motor rc. I think that prize went to the Tamiya Clod Buster back in the late 80's which was closely followed by the Kyosho Double Dare - but of course their version had a completely different purpose in and effort to incorporate 4wd without the need for a center prop shaft, chain, or belt drive.
First on road RTR was the 1987 TAIYO/TYCO LAMBORGHINI COUNTACH LP500S. First off road car was the 1987 TAIYO AERO JET FIGHTER/Tyco turbo hopper 1988 name change for the world wide release. All of these cars had dual Dual Mabuchi 280 motors, and hit 20 mph on 9.6 volts.
Will the stock transmitter work with a dumbo RC receiver? I've got a couple of dumbo RC receivers with gyro I would like to use with the standard transmitter.
Since you have both now. Could you do me a favour and see if the ak787 shell will go onto the ak917 chassis? I already have 2 917 but like the Mazda body way more. Don't want a whole nother chassis though.

If you need to lower the ride height, you can just open the shock and put some nitro tubing on the shaft below the piston.
Yes, that’s what I did with a lot of my speed cars. But to do that straight out the box is not ideal
@@TomleyRC agreed

Yes, that would be awesome

What a awesome body and a great price for sweet 1/10scale rc👌
Agree 👌
Yes! The finger sound effect is back!

The notchy diff feeling/other wheel turning the same way is just the motor being easier to turn the the other wheel due to the diff grease.
It would be interesting to see this on a track
I hope they fixed the weak rear upper arms. The connecting bolts on the 917 keep shearing off near the bolt threads on both plastic and aluminum units. Also, the rear exhaust light housing breaks on any rear impact. Good car for the money.

😅
That cool Tomley its perfect RC 👍😎👍
I THINK THE SEMI-LOCKED FRONT DIFF HELPS IT GO STRAIGHT AT HIGHER SPEED
Yeah could be 👌
So many channels think the company is called laarlo (silent R) glad you pronounce it the right way like very few of us 😂
I mean who even invented ‘silent’ letters… makes no sense to me. It’s the same as blank pages in a book that say ‘intentionally blank’
I have the metal version and the lights don't operate the same as the CF version (signals,brakes). Well, the radio system is DumboRC and they have the receiver that has the LED ports. Will have to rewire the individual lights to get it to work right though.
Actually, I'm quite impressed.
Well done
If you had your choice which would you choose? This or the ftx stinger?
Ha! Someone made a production adjustable wing. I played around with my xo1 with one hooked to a gyro and an rpm sensor so at speed and angle of attack, it would auto adjust.
O could not get consistent resutls and i gave up. But im sure it would work.
Also, true antilock brakes and tacktions control is completely possible as well.
Hi Allen.. awesome appreciate the effort
This is exactly what I was looking for.
Is there a spare part number for the wingmirrors? I have a Tamiya 787B which is wanting some! I can't see anything on Rlaarlo's website...
Hmm.. doesn’t look like it at the moment
Toe in, body height can really effect straight line stability. Do you have a watt meter, or esc with data so you can check actual power level? Wonder how it would compete with the top touring car brands on a prepped track or carpet?
Yeah, lots of tweaking can make a big difference. I’ve not got anything to test the ESC
That would beat my personal Best out of the box. Of course I am a beginner. I'm going to add this one to my wish list.
You sold me on the fcx24, now this! 😂 definitely will be a birthday gift to myself soon 🍻
Great video on RC cars. You're so thorough with explaining & detailing these RC cars I had to subscribe & like. @Tomley RC, Do they have an RC car/truck that's good for street & trail with switchable tires & ability to raise & lower the suspension?

Great video.
"NICE" i like that and stock on 3S would work well for a lot of RC drivers
Yeah, 50 mph is plenty for most people
A new benchmark has been set !
Great video. Good heads up for anyone wanting that good deal 👍🏻
Yes. Great deal 👌
Some of the speed run cars could do with that rear wing, and if it can act as a break it would definitely help. 🤔
The only issue is that small servo probably won't do anything above 150mph. 🥴
Yeah, I can’t see the top speed runners using that stock wing
That white looks freakin awesome.. I know the "real" 1-1 has those wheels but my ocd(or autism) can't except they don't match... At all ,
Drove me nuts on the original car , lol 😂
But how does it handle on a track? Can you track it or is it a straight line runner and basher? My Xray TC14 clone cannot do speed runs, it handles great!

You drive & film better with one hand than I using both hands 😅
70% off sale currently I took advantage and got myself the brushless rtr!

That is a proper christmas gift
After seeing what you did with the rear wing & throttle, I'm thinking about changing my mind, and ordering one.
Decisions, decisions...hmmm.
i wonder how it really handle on a track vs previous version
Not sure about the first 1/10 dual motor rc. I think that prize went to the Tamiya Clod Buster back in the late 80's which was closely followed by the Kyosho Double Dare - but of course their version had a completely different purpose in and effort to incorporate 4wd without the need for a center prop shaft, chain, or belt drive.
The first one to my knowledge was a Robbe Audi Quattro with a 4WD dual motor (380 size) setup in the early 80s.

Hope all is well, love your videos 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾. Would love to see you review the Team Corally Kagama XP 😎
Thanks dude. Corally have been pretty quiet recently 🤷🏼♂️
if you're wondering about the stiff front diff, take a look at your 14301/14302, that runs 50k in the front
if you're right about the lifting front wheel, it would reduce that effect since the wheel on the ground would still have drive
Will the stock transmitter work with a dumbo RC receiver? I've got a couple of dumbo RC receivers with gyro I would like to use with the standard transmitter.
It needs wider wheels with a lit more offset to improve the look and a bi more grip maybe
nice, I had to do this manually on my aarma limitless
The battery lead is an XT60? I want to order some adapters for my EC5 batteries before ths AK-787 arrives!
I'll wait for a dual motor. That would be awesome.
Every time I watch these I feel like prepping my batteries for going for a spin. Then I always forget... 😢

I love it! Hot on the Heels of Traxxas!
That's some mclaren shit with the wing. Awesome!
hi, really awsome video mate just wanted to know what camera you used for the car POV please.
How did you get the wing to match the throttle pull
You could build a house under that wheel gap, That's crazy
Thanks for not saying "stop, read" Everytime you check the speed.
Haha… I stopped doing that a couple of year back. So many people still do it though… 😅
I’d love one but skint at the moment! So 🤷♂️ looks cool nice video
