- The new Rlaarlo Omni-Terminator is a little underpowered. Let's fix that and torture test bash it to see how it hold up. Is this the best small basher in the world? Is it better than Traxxas and Arrma for less money? Let's find out!

Damn, you beat the snot out of that thing and it came back for more! And the 4s setup is the way to go, especially with the motor mount and bigger can motor. This thing tore it up! 👍
Yeah there were quite a few hits that you didn't see too. It's pretty stout.
You turned that thing into a mini-missile. I'm not usually much for smaller RCs but this thing looks great & I'm all about supporting an up & coming company
This thing actually drives like a bigger car too. It's really good.
43 is a missile? The granite gets 50 mph from a stock 3s ESC
Tech / Stripped screw tip... Use a left handed drill bit. 99% of the time it will grab it as you start drilling and back it right out.
That definitely can work as long as there isn't thread lock on it. In this case I didn't have a left-handed bit that was small enough.
Great video ! I really liked how you shared tips, knowledge and experience that took me years to learn. LOL! Helps new and old people in the hobby!
Thanks I like sharing my knowledge and glad you enjoy!
@@DoRC yea thank you for showing us how to do stuff like change out the battery/motor.
Channel is growing fast, man. Keep up the awesome videos. They are fantastic!
Yeah it's pretty crazy. Thanks for watching!
Dude that thing looks amazing. Might have to get rid of my Haiboxing and MJX trucks just to have this thing instead. Looks like the best deal in RC since the MJX Hyper Go
I think it's the best small RC you can get. It's small enough to be really handy and still look like a toy to most people yet big enough to be able to bash just about anywhere.
This truck looks sick, I've been waiting for a review since I seen the announcement! Your reviews for this truck are so detailed, just worried my tool kit may not be up to par for the upgrades! 😉
All you really should need is a 1.5 mm 2 mm and 2.5 mm hex driver. Those tools are included in the kit for the car but it would be pretty annoying using an l wrench for all of that.
Just saw your gear mesh vid . I had it by feel and it was good but I had to keep messing with it and left it loose and destroyed the pinion and Probably the spur looks a little rounded so I had to order away . Glad Amazon had the parts . They didn’t have the upgraded parts though . I mean they had them but currently unavailable . So for the carbon fiber it’s a 24T 48P pinion and 65T (48P) spur . They do sell the spur alone but the whole center diff is double price . So hopefully I ll have one good one in and one back up in case I didn’t learn my lesson . I really like the channel and the RC hobby has kept me focused and it’s easy to stay busy after work when I’m doing the hobby . Sometimes I’d don’t do the hobby and fly drones or just play Xbox . I realize how other grown ups must see me with the toys and the tools and fun thjngs 😂. There’s 3 other kids on the street who are heavily into RC so it’s a good time around here . Good things 👍👍. We just run the 1/18- 1/12 size mostly but every now and again the nitros and Kraton 6s come out . My initial first month honeymoon phase impressions are very good . They had the mesh perfectly silent and zippy like a ninja . I ll get it right 🙏 and if I don’t I ll keep trying until I do . I remember how nice the black was coming off the steel of the teeth , nice and even near the tip .
Setting mesh definitely can be a bit of an art form. There's the paper method that works pretty well but I recommend just getting good at setting it by feel and sound. You'll definitely get it pretty quickly!
I ordered the carbon fiber one the second that clock hit 0:00:00 I was stoked for this one too!!
Nice! I think you'll be happy with it.
How is it ?
Pretty dang impressive, I was surprised it could handle the extra power that well, very nice 👌🏻
It handled it really well!
@@DoRC I could imagine with a slightly bigger set of tires that thing would really handle great, That's something I'd like to see in the future, Maybe even some paddle tire action 🤔😁
@EJ-74 I have some stock Traxxas rustler tires that I'm going to try. The only issue is that the suspension is already topped out so bigger tires might end up breaking shocks.
@@DoRC Cool and yeah that could be an issue, only one way to find out though 😁
Awesome! Thanks a lot for that review. Really good to know that it appears to have no defect out of the box for a new model and it doesn't break, they're clearly stepping up their game! This will probably be my first rlaarlo model.
For that smaller motor at 3100kv, if I compare with charts from similar motors, some can even run on 5s at around the same kv so I wouldn't worry about it on 4s. One thing I'm not sure is the carbon fibre chassis, I don't have any experience or knowledge on these, like how it would hold up to bashing and long therm use. If I'm thinking about buying the roller, would it be better to get the aluminium one for more durability and spare parts for smaller rcs? If I get the rtr carbon i'll probably ditch that esc and battery before even trying it (knowing myself lol) so I'll be thinking about that.
Again awesome content and review, keep it up! 👍
I wouldn't worry too much about it. The chassis itself isn't carbon fiber on the carbon fiber version it's just the two little braces in the middle and then some reinforcement plates in the arms. I don't think it'll make much of any practical difference for bashing durability.
Oh ok! Thanks a lot for the clarification I didn't notice that 😁
Np
Looks perfect on 4S. Awesome job! 👍👍👍🤜
Yeah I think it's definitely the sweet spot!
Wow! What a mini beast!! Really impressed how well it took being both overvolted and a butt ton of bad landings!! Nice video! If I were able to make use of a mini, this would likely be it. Though I'd stick to the budget version. I have no need for 6 channels or carbon fiber. Keep up the great content brother!👍🍻
I've since found that the carbon version also has the machined front and rear differential gears. Not sure if it's actually necessary but that's another nice upgrade.
@@DoRCfrom the website should also mount a gyroscope! man you should definitely test also the carbon version! Great review by the way!
@@DoRCThat plus the radio may make it a better deal. I have tried comparing the 2 on their site, but honestly, the specs are not very clearly defined I feel. Regardless, there's alot to like for the money w/each version, including the kit. Bash on brother!!
@knowair6767 The carbon version radio is definitely better though other than the battery to lemetry practically speaking there won't be that much difference between them.
Fantastic video mate yeah mine on preorder now I've gone for the carbon fibre one the roller so I can stick my own electrics in plus I'm fitting a team corally esc 120a and a 3300kv 3650 brushless motor 3.175mm shaft hopefully that will be OK let me know 👍😊😊
Should be fine.
Oh boy, woke him right up! that lil dude is awesome!
Yeah it's a completely different animal on 4s
Been wanting to try a Rallarlo, this looks perfect for my daughter to learn on. I have a Granite but then we will have 4 Granites lol. 😅
I think this one's a good one to go for.
good tip abot the soldering iron I see too many using a mini torch sometimes thats not going to work.
Yeah the many torch can work but it's also a pretty blunt instrument for the job. The side area and gets the heat exactly where you can work but it's also a pretty blunt instrument for the job. The soldering iron gets the heat exactly where you need it and nowhere else.
You're working hard @Do-RC! Watching again both on phone and pc! 👋
Thanks! Yeah I had a bit of a issue with the ending of the video.
@@DoRC no worries man ive been binge watching your channel you're definitely hitting all the right marks 🥇
@insanebmxthomas thanks!
So on the carbon fiber version that comes with the 3650-2650KV motor, should that motor be able to handle the 27/28T speed pinion and a 4s esc? The motor seemed to be running a bit hot on 3s with the 24T pinion.
Also, any idea what the 'hybrid' mode on the HotRC remote does? Ive rebound mine to the CT8A remote and im wondering if I lost any functionality. Thanks!
If it's running hot on 3S with a 24 tooth pinion it's going to be really hot on 4S with a 27 tooth pinion. That being said what exactly are you considering hot? No unfortunately I don't know what hybrid mode on the transmitter is. I doubt the CT6A has any functionality that the CT8a doesn't though
@@DoRC By running hot I mean if you touch the motor it feels hot. Nothing crazy - maybe 120º. certainly not hot enough to burn, but I had also been trying the 'power flip' more than a handful of times. Im guessing that's what heated it up
@@Nutz_forRCs okay yeah 120 is basically ice cold for a brushless motor. I can't guarantee that on 4S with that higher gearing it won't overheat though. I would try the same gearing on 4S and see how that goes first
Did you run the servo at 6V or more? Website says it can handle 7.4V. Greets.
I don't think I changed it from the default 6 volts.
Great video as always bro
Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching!
Got a roller version with the bigger motor mount. Have a Hobbywing 10BL120 G2 that should fit rlaarlo esc mount. What motor would you recommend? Per HW the 3652 should only run 2-3s but I want to run 4s. Will it be ok 2600 kv? Seems dumb to put a 4268 in a 1/12 truck…
I think you'll be fine on 4S with a 2600 KV motor. Technically if you hold it up in the air and mash the throttle you'll probably over rev the motor but Don't do that :-)
wife-ordered moratorium on RC purchases still in effect over here. lol #notificationSquad
is that latin for buying spree ?
That's a bummer. This is a good one!
I'm pretty sure it is.
I'm offloading older hobbies to try and make the preorder deadline 😂
@@bongofury3176 HAHA
Thanks for another video before the presale. Do you know if the self righting feature is something that is programmed in to the carbon fiber version transmitter only?
Entirely possible. I really don't know how that would work as I haven't really heard much about it
@@DoRC mystery... big selling point for higher end Traxxas cars
@@GemFarmer76 honestly it's not a future I've really used much on the Traxxas cars. Any of the Traxxas cars that can do that automatically and also do it manually and I think that doing it manually is better and safer. The automatic system can get in a situation where one of the tires catches the ground which is how things get broken. I've been manually self righting pretty much any RC that'll do it for years with no issues.
Dude! Waiting for a brand new upgrade! You can install 1/8 of the tires!
With the 17 mm hex adapters you could but unless it was just buggy tires I think they would be way too big.
Great review! It looks pretty small I was picturing it being a bit bigger. Your right though it wants 4s! Was that the new castle cobra 6s esc?
No it's the Castle Copperhead. The Cobra 6s would be way too much
Lol yeah it would but sometimes you put a lot of power to them so I wasn't sure lol.
Stay tuned. I might just be doing that with this one :-)
I think this could be my next true 4wd monster truck!
So far I'm really happy with mine. I don't think you'll be disappointed!
How did you bind(set throttle end points) the rlaarlo radio to the corally esc?
Hold down the set button while you turn on the ESC. It'll start beeping. With throttle and neutral hit the button again it'll be once pull full throttle hit it again it'll be twice full reverse hit it again it'll be three times.
I love all the tips you give
Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching!
You strip the factory pinion, it certainly because of the small pitch gear 48p. They should install 32p gear from the start.
Haven't stripped it yet.
@@DoRC Thank you for your review, I finally ordered the carbon version with aluminum servo mount :)
@samintrepid awesome let me know how you like it!
The esc that you mentioned. Should I get the sensorless version or the sensored ?
I think the ESC only comes in one version but sensorless is fine for this particular application as far as the motor is concerned.
Thank you for the fast response. I think that I see two versions on Amazon.
Awesome video as always
@peteralbury7724 can you tell me exactly what you're looking at? Brand and model?
Hobbywing quicrun 10bl 120 g2
@peteralbury7724 ah. The original 10 BL120 is censored the G2 is sensorless
Just wondering, what exact 4s battery were you using?
It was just a random old FPV quad battery that I had. Definitely not ideal
i feel like i seen a video review of a carbon fiber model doing 40mph on 3s, is the motor set up that much of a difference between the two?
Was it off-road?
Thanks for doing this rig. Man, you put a beating into this sucker. sub!
Thanks for the sub!
They are sure really making Rlaarlo better. And making it compatible with Arrma and traxxas.
Yeah the quality on this is a huge step up
I hope mine and everyone’s comes with no issues out of the box 🙏😊
I'm sure there will be some issues but hopefully they will be few and far between.
Can you tell me please the exactly dimensions from the 3s Lipo, which is coming with the truck?
105x35x23
@@DoRCthanks for your support 👍
What was the ESC you recommended I couldn’t hear it toward the end
I would go with the hobby wing 10 BL120 G2. Cheap and should fit right where the stock one was with possibly very minor trimming of the side pod. You will have to replace the ends on the motor wires though as it also takes 4 mm bullets.
What motor would be the perfect drop in from hobby wing? I bought the roller version and I'm curious what a good but budget friendly motor/esc combo would be for a straight drop in. Thanks!@@DoRC
@@SixIXMX The 3652 would fit but the minimum KV appears to be 3,250 which would be fine for 3S but isn't technically compatible with 4S.
@@DoRC thanks for the quick reply! What servo do you recommend? I found a smaller sized 15 kg on Amazon but not sure if it drop in or not. I'm probably going to go the hobbywing route because the combo is cheap haha
@SixIXMX it appears as though it's set up for what's known as a mini size servo but mini and micro tend to be used interchangeably and I'm not sure exactly what servos are going to fit this. I found a couple that look like they might but I really haven't dug into it too far.
Question, I have the Spektrum S2200 charger and the Supulse B3 V2 10W charger. Will I be able to charge the LIPO battery that comes with this OMNI Terminator truck?
Both of those can technically charge it though I would recommend using the spectrum charger as it is a better unit. You'll need to get XT60 to whatever the main input connector on the spectrum charger is probably EC3 or EC5.
@@DoRC Oh I see, I need an adaptor! Thank you for your help DoRC!
@@aliasangelalias You're welcome!
Subbed 👍! Any specs on those tires? They look like great tires for a rig i have. Are they like smaller than 100mm or more like 125mm u think? Im assuming a 12mm hub. And what a little monster. Cant believe it took that power, self righting or crashes. Im VERY impressed.
Its on the rlaarlo website iirc but afaik theyre 104mm
@@insanebmxthomas thanx for info! Im trying to find a similar tread in about 125mm that arent as heavy as a Proline. The HPI bullets “maze” pattern were my fav but they quit making them.
@cds1223 i think Ali has some trophy truck tire/wheels around the 112/130mm range. Personally i feel like this car could do with slightly larger tires. As long as they're squishy. The hbx 2997a tires look like they might be a good match? Otherwise i have no suggestions (im also new to rc, probably ask a veteran!)
Nothing wrong putting on receiver box way better than on the brace . Idk where you live but if it’s cold out the fans really keeps the motor cool , you can go crazy with gearing/voltage . A kid in otherside pond has carbon one he did 50 mph and beat the snot out of it
I'm in Florida so never really gets that cold here. Yeah seems like everybody's having a pretty good time with them! I don't generally go for absolute top speed and the power that I'm getting with this setup is more than adequate.
I think I know which one I’m leaning towards but which one would you recommend this rlaarlo or the WOV you reviewed the other day?
Both good cars but at this time the Terminator takes the win for both durability and bash ability. I'd go with this one at the moment
This rlaarlo seems like a no brainer. I also seen on the website that the aluminum version body is made of pvc and the carbon fiber body is a Polycarbonate but in your review you had the pvc and it seemed to of done great. Kinda of curious on how much durable the polycarbonate is if any.
@@assjack1124 I don't think that The body I got is PVC. Feels just like regular polycarbonate to me.
There's an ESC mount in the accessory bag so you can mount it to the arm.
Hmm. I didn't get one. Maybe it only comes with the carbon version?
@@DoRC Discipline RC got one in his and his was the same as yours. That's the only reason I know it comes with one. It should be in with the manual.
@Rockatha does he show it in his video? I just watched it and didn't see any mention of an ESC mount. If he does can you tell me exactly at what point in the video he shows it?
@@DoRC sorry it was Mathew Simms video for the carbon edition. It was at 7.20 so maybe it's only the carbon you can move the esc on.
@Rockatha okay. I just watched it. He was actually mistaken. Those are the parts that allow you to run the larger battery but they don't include a tray for the ESC to mount. You can see me install those parts in this video.
Does the auto flip over function work well
Wasn't aware it existed and didn't try it. It wasn't capable of self righting stock but it does it just fine now.
Absolutely awesome channel, new subscriber here, great job
Thanks!
Thanks for a great review! I think I'm going to go for the carbon version, but just to be clear: if i did go for the Carbon version the max would be 3s? 4s would need a 120A ESC? Sorry for noob question - just getting into the sport after decades out. This seems a good way to get back in :)
The ESC that comes with both versions is 3S maximum. If you want to do 4S you'll need a 4S ESC. Maximum voltage and the maximum amperage of the motor aren't inherently related though the one I would recommend would be the 10 BL120G2 which is 120 amps.
@@DoRC the stock motor on the version carbon kan take 4s?
@RoyaumeDesIX I can't say for sure that it will because I haven't actually tested it but given that the smaller higher KV one on the aluminum version does I'd imagine it'll be fine.
can a normal servo fit? I'm thinking about the roller
No. It looks like it takes the mini servo standard which they don't seem to be too many options for. It's about a 36 mm width.
Can I use a 3660 motor in the carbon fiber one? With the mount in that
Should be able to with the mount but I don't think it'll fit lengthwise without removing the receiver box and using the aluminum standalone servo mount.
Hi bro so if i want to upgrade 2852 motor to 3650 motor ,what should i do? Thanks!😮
You'll need to get the motor mount that originally comes with the carbon version. I can't remember what part number it is but you should be able to look it up on their website.
Ok! Really appreciated i will!
@user-ys5of3fq3f You're welcome :-)
On Carbon vs Standard: Carbon oddly comes with 2650kv motor vs the Standard's 3100kv. The car's limitation is top speed, not torque so the Standard may be preferred. The Carbons motor does dissipate heat better, but that is not needed even at 4s as seen in this video.
Well you can always make up for the KV with gearing though and The carbon does have a more powerful motor and ESC.
Where did you find a 4s small enough to fit??
You can get them on Amazon. They make them for FPV drones.
How did you get the truck to self right itself?
I didn't. I did it manually with the transmitter
@@DoRC Ok so dumb question how do you manually do it? Just press forward and backwards?
@@Gamebit450 pretty much. Not all vehicles can do it due to their shape and power capabilities but that's really all the automatic system is doing. If you get the timing right as long as the car is capable of doing it it can be done. Of course there are those that will say that it's bad for the drivetrain but I don't actually believe that. As long as you don't do something like stay jammed on the throttle when one wheel hits the ground or keep on the throttle as it actually flips over it's fine.
@@DoRC ty
If the $200 aluminum version came with the 3650 motor, it would be the best bargain basher in RC right now. The $250 carbon fiber version seems to be the one to get. One thing I don't get is if the receiver box isn't water tight, why even bother to put it in a box?
Part of it is just because people expect to see a receiver in a receiver box but it does offer some protection.
I srill dont understand why rlaarlo went with a totally different radio manufacturer/protoco from dumborc to hotrcfor their upgraded cars. The ddf350 would have been a much better option...
Probably cost.
@@DoRCtrue im enjoying my rally with the gyro receivers it works really well.
@babupranav nice.
I plan to use my ddf350 from the start. I've got a handful of transmitters brand new in the bubble wrap.
Does a normal full size battery fit
Depends on what you mean. The battery tray dimensions are listed on the website. I think it's designed to fit a normal 2S sized hard case but a normal like 5,000 milliamp hour 4S is not going to fit.
The stock motor can run 4s ?? And what size esc is that
Well technically it's not rated for it but I've got a few packs through mine now without issue. I suspect if you just jammed on the throttle and left it there with the wheels off the ground the motor would blow up but as long as you're a little careful with it it should be fine. That is a castle copperhead but I'd recommend getting a hobbywing 10 BL 120. It'll be cheaper and should work just as well.
@@DoRC really a 120a esc for 4s
@Sam-nz2zs yeah it's a good ESC. Don't forget the motor will only draw what it's capable of drawing regardless of how powerful your ESC is.
@@DoRC yeah but what about the battery being 4s too
The 4S battery is going to put more energy through the motor and more importantly will allow it to spin more quickly. It definitely could kill the motor. Mine's been fine but no guarantees.
Wait I forgot this thing had self righting (does it?), now for sure am gonna get one 👍
Also, would the carbon fiber version be more fragile than the normal?
My version didn't and I haven't really seen anything about it so I'm not sure if it does or not.
I don't think the carbon fiber version will be any more fragile. The only parts on it that are carbon fiber are the two little center embraces and then some carbon fiber panels on top of the arms. Everything else is the same material. The carbon fiberone also has upgraded ring and pinions on the front and rear differentials.
@@DoRC at 8:05 you werent using the self righting on this version?
I remember now in the advertisement, that it mentions self righting.
The carbon fiber version has the self righting for sure
What combo do you put on it?
Stock motor with a castle copperhead ESC.
@@DoRC You can link to the product?
@@DoRC Looks good the car I'm looking forward to buying it
What a mini beast 😂
Agreed!
I’m gonna put a 10bl120a esc with 3600kv 3650. Motor. Stock gearing on the carbon fiber version
Should be a beast!
@@DoRC hopefully don’t over heat
You want to tape up all the screw holes in the motor before you drill or the shavings could get stuck inside the motor and that could destroy the motor.
I completely agree. That's definitely the safe way to go especially if you're grinding. With the drill it's not quite as big of a deal because it makes much larger shavings but covering things up is definitely the right way to do it.
Hmmm should i take a extra 5 mins and get my iron to heat this or risk stripping it...strips it
Yep. Took me longer to fix the problem than it would have taken to just avoid it in the first place! Thanks for watching :-)
How can I turn light on/off ?
As it comes from the factory you'll need to just unplug it to turn it off. If you want to be able to control it you'll have to buy an RC receiver light controller that can actually power the channel on and off.
@@DoRCthanks for your useful answer👍✌️I thought this is a normal function in 2024😮 is the port a Futaba or JR/JST ?
@santommaso6740 they are standard JST receiver ports. Unfortunately no they're the power rails are the same as they've always been where it just passes the power directly through. I believe there are some receivers out there for some brands that might allow light control in one or two channels but I don't know specifically which ones they are.
You might want to wait till you get the truck before worrying about it though because these lights really aren't that bright and you might not even find that you need to turn them on and off.
@@DoRCthanks a lot for your help 👍😌
@@santommaso6740 You're welcome :-)
I've been saying for And that's how the A long time everyone kept giving me shit about you can't run a 4S on that you're gonna blow things up blah blah blah period But I'm glad you made a video about it
To be fair the people that say you'll blow up the motor are technically correct. When you go over the voltage recommendation you will over rev the motor at times and whereas usually it's not a problem that doesn't mean it's guaranteed to not be a problem :-)
That transmitter is a rebranded Dumbo rc transmtter
Yep and the one on the carbon version is a rebranded hot RC transmitter
I hope they have enough stock...
Hope so too. I think this thing's going to be pretty popular
I hoping you'll be able to answer this question . Between this truck and the Aarma 3S BLX Vortex/Granite... which would you consider the better basher?
I'm torn between the two options.
Your thoughts?
That's really tough to say and it depends on what your priorities are. This truck seems fun and durable but really hasn't been around long enough to know how it will survive long-term. The granite is a known quantity with plenty of upgrades and spare parts available but it is larger and More expensive.
I say if you want to play it safe get the granite but if you want to try something different go with one of these
We can’t order it till the 18th when they have pre sale how tf ya get it already
I'm special :-)
@@DoRC nah it’s cause you a TH-camr and probably been loyal to them so they sent u a free one to bash around on your channel to promote their brand
@NeighberhoodRC well that's kind of what I meant :-)
@@DoRC yea lucky 🍀
I agree. I am very fortunate. Don't get me wrong though. This channel is a lot of work and I pay for the vast majority of things out of my own pocket.
Why not go straight for the roller? Rlaarlo has an even better 8 channel remote with gyro for 40 bucks. Then you just need a motor and esc combo.
That's definitely an option and it's really good to depend on what you already have and what your goals are. I think that the motor that comes in the carbon fiber version is going to be enough for pretty much anybody given that the smaller motor works really well already and even if you don't end up using this transmitter on this truck you could just keep it as a spare for something else so with the RTR you could just get a cheap ESC and that's it. I think overall that would be less money than buying the roller a combo transmitter receiver. You also get the battery which I probably won't end up using in this car but it's still a decent battery for something else.
Ultimately though I don't think you can go wrong either way.
@@DoRC I personally would never get a roller, I am just not that much into the hobby. It just appeared to me that buying the carbon version and then swapping motor and ESC may not make too much sense.
I am very much on the edge of getting the carbon version. Any maybe a larger pinion to get the car to 80-85 kpm. It's really a shame that in neither config it reaches the 80kpm, must be the limited C-value of the battery.
@philote09 it's possible it's the battery but it also could be the ESC. These ESCs aren't the best.
@@DoRC That obviously deserves being tested! If you are back to stock config, do you have a better battery to try? Because, if it is the ESC, getting the carbon version and using a bigger pinion won't make the car any faster I guess.
@@philote09 I don't have anything better on hand and I think even with a better battery you probably won't get impressive performance at the 45 amp ESC. I think I'll have to leave that testing for people that have the 60 amp version.
The carbon version is def the one to go for for the reasons you mention, plus the larger more powerfull motor. The carbon version also comes with spiral cut steel gears, whilst the cheaper Aluminum version has straight cut alloy gears. Matt Simm tested the carbon version & got 30mph on 2s, 42mph on 3s & 58mph on 4s ( 120a esc fitted for 4s ). He did use the supplied high speed pinion on all runs.
I wasn't aware of the better gears. Yeah the carbon version is definitely the way to go!
There customer service is absolutely shit. They will never respond and do not care one bit. I purchased one of these the carbon fiber edition over a week ago when their website clearly said they had 19 in stock pay 20 extra buck for express shipping 3-5 days and and my order is still unfulfilled after a week I'll send email after email with no reply and also their help chat online yeah good luck getting ahold of someone on their. This is ridiculous I've even been trying to get a refund for the last week and no one will answer back. Horrible, be careful with this company fell as if I have been robbed
You probably haven't been robbed. They are pretty slow with shipping though so whereas I'm sure you'll get it eventually it might take more time than they promised. I have heard some pretty mixed reviews about their customer support unfortunately.
@@DoRC I wouldn't care to wait more time I wouldn't care to wait a month if they would just say so. After spending $300 and not even getting a response it makes it feel like a situation is not good. I feel as if it's in stock it should be shipped out immediately it's not that hard to grab it ship it. And especially do not have Express 3 to 5 day shipping for 20 additional dollars if it's going to take forever to even filll the item.
@s33m3shine3FPV Yeah I totally get it. That's a bummer. I do know that they've been way behind on shipping these from what I've heard from other people though. The car itself is definitely worth the wait but they need to tighten up there public relations for sure.
@@DoRC I would just like them to reach out and give me the insurance that is coming that's all I'm asking I understand there company is starting and their products are great so they probably are not but be real with your cousin and don't charge extra for something that's not going to happen. Thanks man
100% agree with you! My order was from April in stock. Still waiting, tracking don’t move! Customer service is terrible 😣 I go for PayPal dispute and do no not recommend this company. This company spent a lot of money in marketing, but nothing in good experience. I hope big influencers like you tell them. Normal people have no influence.
Traxxas sucks!! I have had bad luck with three of their chargers and felt cheated by them, but I should have reacted differently. I enjoy their rcs a lot and feel bad for bashing them as a company.
What don't you like about them?
@@DoRCthey don't honor their quality or respect customers/me that have spent thousands with them. ( just spent $500 last week.
