This thing is so cool! RC 3 Wheeler! Really cool and funny RC Tricycle from X-Rider.
This RC Tricycle is really good fun! It drives a little sketchy, but that adds to the entertainment value! I'd like to make this a Brushless Trike, but not sure it'll take the power! It's a 'racing' Italian APE Rally car and it's pretty awesome!
Not sure how it compares to a Tamiya Dancing Rider or Dual rider, but either way, it's a Fun RC Trike! - บันเทิง
The bobble-head driver IS adorable! 🤣
every rc should have a bobblehead 🤘🤘🤘
Yes haha
What a brilliant little RC model!
Now this is the coolest RC I've ever seen. Original. Would love to see a slightly later scale with a front wheel the same size as the rears
Dan J I agree about the From wheel But seems to drive great
That bobble head is hilarious!
wobbly wobbly wobbly
Kind of weird looking.. would be sweet if somebody made a old school 3 wheel ATV, 👍Nice test.
Yes, a Honda :)
Love this one Phil! As you say, it's all about the fun factor with this little trike. The detailing with the wobbly head and the motorbike engine is great, looks like a souped-up Tuk-Tuk! The on-boards were awesome. Cool video as per, mate - always a thumbs up! 👍🇬🇧
Cheers Mark. Currently painting the engine and exhaust, give it a more scale look hopefully! Oh...and some bigger wider rear wheels/tyres! Thanks for watching 🇬🇧👍
@@TomleyRC Yeah, the engine could do with a lick of paint - should look awesome. Looking forward to the results! 🇬🇧👍
Very cool👍 love how it moves😁 great stuff
That thing is awesome!! I'm loving the on-board footage, you can really see how fast to scale it is :)
Thank you
That little bugger looks like a blast. This is what RC is about smiles . Thanks for the awesome entertainment .👍👍🏁🏁
No problem 👍
Just saw this on Banggood, and I wondered.. and then yes, tomley rc did a review. Was wanting to ask, now I need not worry. Lol. Thanks.
Haha… yeah, it’s a fun trike.. it’s now Brushless 👌
@@TomleyRC excellent
That little thing is awesome.
That jump up the curb reminded me of Mario Karts, if you got few of them together you could have a Mario Kart style race!
haha yeah, I have a Mario figure that will probably fit!
This looks so damn cool, would love to see a comparison to a Tamiya dancing rider.
The suspension damping is REALLY good in this
Hat thing looks like fun!
I'm glad I had issues on the first run, gave me an excuse to take it out again! lol
@@TomleyRC hell yes!🤘
Lol...nice. made me laugh watching in fly around. Pretty cool little rc
Looool yea
Looks great, bro. Love the wobbly head and the way you say ‘charger’ ☺️
Us English have some funny accents.... mines not as bad as some haha
hoi bro im a fan wandering xd
I have never seen anything like this before but dam i love it
Finally something unique and odd but yet awesome
I love the camera angles, that’s a cool model👍🏻
Cheers dude
Super cool trike awesome review great video thanks
Cheers Patrick 👍
That’s really cool I love it 😊👊🏻
I've been wanting to pick one of these up from RCMart for a while now. Great review! Had no idea Banggood is starting to carry higher grade hobby brands now like this and MST.
Yes, they do have a few. Usually rebranded....but just the same!
wow. that's pretty fast 👍
I used to drive one of these sometimes, we used them to collect customers cars for service or repair, then we would leave the sign-written Ape outside the house as advertising for the company. Two amazing things about them, if you put enough weight in the pick up bed they wheelie like all fuck. Secondly the reverse is an 'idler' type, which reverses the differential not the gearbox, meaning four forward gears..... and four reverse gears, on three wheels, with a porta-loo as your rollcage, bloody great fun.
haha, sounds awesome... flat out in reverse!
I've seen a few these knocking around it looks awesome I want one😊😎😊😎👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
🇬🇧👍
Wow, dude... Pretty amazing little thing!!! 😃
It certainly looks the part! Need a few to race!
@@TomleyRC That should be funny! 😂
Love it love it !!
Wow.....love it.
Hola Amigo muy buenas noches , es un video viejo pero el auto es muy bonito , tiene muxhos detalles llamativos , tienes muchos modelos raros en tu coleccion felicitaciones Amigo saludos
Awesome. Was waiting for this for a long time.
It's good fun!
Cooles Teil 💪😁👍
Thanks for the nice vid. Looks fun but the Tamiya Trike leans inward making it Looks far better. I really like he xrider ..but I d put some more hop ups on my Dancing Rider before I invest otherwise.
Yeah, different to the Tamiya.
Awesome cool!! I want it🤩👍👍
Cool 👊. I checked out you link. Cool.. NC MOUNTAINS ❤
UK gets all the good stuff
This is form China haha. RCMart have them 👍
Dude I want one! It reminds me of my Tamiya Dancing Riders, thats it im getting one of these!
Be good to see one against the Dancing Rider 👍
sweet!😎!...looks a bigger faster version of the tamiya 3 wheeler👍
Yes, not seen a Tamiya close up, but does look bigger and faster.
@@TomleyRC and its a lot more robust!!!
Very funny truck 😁😁
I saw these a bit ago..Really cool!
Yes, a lot of fun :)
This thing is freaking hilarious. Gonna have to save up for this one. I would like to experiment with some kind of sway bar just for fun. Though the handling looks pretty good while being comedic at the same time.
I think a bit of weight shifted rearward will help as well, the chassis design makes it easy to tip forward on a turn. I'm sure there is some improvement to be made though.
@@TomleyRC Yeah, I can see that. A bit larger wheel on the front would transfer some weight bias to the rear. Looks like plenty of room in the fork to try some stuff out. Looks neat!
And imagine what it can do on a 2s lipo!
We shall see!
@@TomleyRC The Wltoys A9x9 1100mah stock batteries should be a fit with a plug modification or an adapter
@@redditchrc960 Yes ideal size. I have a few small lipos to try 👍
Lol at 2s it will eat the gears & diff for breakfast !!!
@@h-jg7730 Nah it should give it another 4-5km speed boost
Very cool - ordering now!
Was it the diff or pinion that was clicking towards the end? Worth getting a backup or 2 from Bangood?
Mike Petersen It was the diff, it comes with a spare anyway. I’ve replaced it and greased it, running on a Lipo now (rapid!) and had no issues yet. 👍🏻
Just ordered mine, thanks for the unboxing and review. So the clicking sound, were you able to see what was wrong with it?🤘🏻😎
I think the diff needs greasing, not had a proper look yet. You get a full spare one anyway. I've not worked out what parts it uses, but i think there will be options to upgrade or mod metal stuff to fit off some of these cheap 1/18 things as it looks similar.
So good!! looks cute and fan!!
It looks like a Mario cart.
I also want to buy this
Would look good with Mario driving 👍
awesome review. looks sick! just noticed a possible missing spring on one of the front shocks?
Thanks. No, only 1 spring needed 👍
You said brother this thing is AWESOME, what a fun lik trike. From your ml observation would it fare on a baseball field. With the dirt being all manicured? Thx for this review it came outreally well!!👌👍👍👍
I think a Baseball field would be ideal for this! Would love to have a go on one with it! Not much Baseball in the UK sadly 🇬🇧
Lol that does look and drive pretty cool, I like it.. But dam that's a hell if a lot mire expensive then I thought it would be, nearly £140 🤔
Yeah, like I said, not all that cheap!
@@TomleyRC yeah definitely not, lol but very cool. Happy rc-ing 👍
Thank you for this video have you make this video with the original motor or you change it?
This is all stock
It looks epic and if it were super cheap then I would get it
Yeah, not 'Dirt Cheap' unfortunately
I've REALLY been wanting one of these
Get a few mates to get them... lots of fun!
@@TomleyRC I have bad habits of throwing brushless motors in things the day I get them. Think that diff can handle some power?
@@OmniMan_Racing Me too haha. Not sure this will take brushless out the box dude. I'm gonna get the diff out and see if I can find a metal replacement.
@@TomleyRC update us on the project that car is awesome
The Ape Proto became to Rc.
ive always wondered why they didnt make any r/c 3 wheelers or 4 wheelers
Nifty, probsk could benefit a slightly wider wheel base and even I can see that rear wing is a bit weak on down force (aint pasting much wallpaper on that!) needs a mahoosive Endgame spoiler... er, imo.
A massive Wang haha.... I may try and put slightly wider wheels on, or spacers
Banggood what crooks.
Not sure what you mean. They don't force anyone to buy their stuff.... and I've not ahd a problem with anything I've ordered from them in the last 2 yrs?
It looks awesome and is definitely a nice shelf queen but I don't know if it's worth the £130 price point..
Yeah, quite expensive. Just fitting a Brushless in now with metal diff.
Looks like you need adjustable rods for camber. You're getting a lot of positive camber under load.
Yeah, needs a few adjustments. I've now got LaTrax Teton wheels on it and have adjusted the droop screws, handles a bit better now!
Good grief! A racing tuk-tuk .....sorry... APE trike with a bobble head driver!!
I wonder who designed that. They definitely have a sense of humour :D
But is has a good runtime and is very different. It's not for me but lots of people are going to get one just for the fun :)
Yes, unique! And lots of fun 👍
Looks like a 1/12 scale tiny
Scale is measured against the real thing. The Piaggio APE is tiny in real life 👍...it's 1/8 to 1/9 scale
I was wondering that thanks
I actually want one
Really good fun 👍
They are trippen for $400 usd
Hello friend. can you please tell me the size of the rear wheels?
i like to order x-rider and replace the front wheel to a similar size like the rear one's.
thanks
3:08 the engine could be painted to make it more realistic, as well as the exhaust
About 1 min in to the video... ;) th-cam.com/video/v7Pd4aRPRVY/w-d-xo.html
😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃👍🏻
hello how many minutes can we ride with this flamingo
If i build one with SC10th scale parts , wich scale will be?
Good question! Dunno!
First maybe
I think so 🏆
how many minutes can you drive with the original battery ?, how long to charge in usb ?
About 10-15
@@TomleyRC ok thanks
🤣🤣🤣🤘✌
Cool stickers grow up dude
So what is this thing based off of and can I can the real deal not the rc scale model imported into the USA .
It's a Piaggio APE, they are Italian. 👍
1 front spring missing?
Nah, designed like that. No need for 2 springs.
Does this have full ball bearings?
Yes 👍🏻
full propor?
Yes 👍
Hey Tomley! You SHOULDNT have put oil in the shocks and tightened them up because mine does NOT go up on one wheel when cornering with the standard setup! You ruined it!!
It was the same without oil, you are probably a bit more controlled on the corners than me lol
i have buy x-rider flamingo
Sucks they took this off bangood I was about to order one 😅
Banggood**
Its back brotha
Not even a 1/8 scale , still cool but not hobby grade
The actual APE cars this is based on are tiny 👍
A trike with the one wheel in the front is the worst mechanical driving system ever conceived in an RC or actual vehicle. You do have to give it credit for how much abuse it can take.
Honda ATV, that proved that 3 wheels are not good....as did the Reliant Robin haha (I have an RC Robin, may get it out)
Cute.But made for a 7yr old.
JJ Festa I think a 7 year old would destroy his shins with it.
haha, they'll heal :)
I'm 7 in my head! Good for me lol
Not 1/8 th scale
Scale is done on how big it is compared to the real thing, and these Piaggio APE's are pretty small 🤘
not 1/8 scale
Kevin Bosworth It’s actually about 1/9th scale.... give or take
Honestly just looks unstable as shit to me
It’s a tricycle… they are not stable 😅
@@TomleyRC Have you tried a Tamiya Dancing Rider/T3-01? They handle really well for a trike :)
