    Already got my order (for the CF RTR) in last night (I'm 100% certain that my order was among the first 200). Personally, I feel that Rlaarlo is producing outstanding quality vehicles. The quality of the great majority of their parts is equal to, if not better than, Traxxas & Arrma. Yes, there was a short-term problem with some of the hardened steel parts when the AK-917 was initially released, but that was due to the hardening process they were using, which they had adjusted/corrected within a few months after the problem was discovered. As for using 190mm bodies, the body posts is not the only upgrade that will be needed. Because the current body is slightly wider than traditional 190mm bodies, people will also need the 190mm Conversion Kit, which includes slightly shorter upper & lower suspension arms, as well as slightly shorter links & driveshafts. Without the conversion kit, the wheels/tires will be sticking out from both sides, front & rear. Speaking of upgrade parts, all currently announced parts are already available. But, be aware that several of them are already close to being sold out (at least, for the first production run). My collection of 'Phase 1' upgrade parts (I tend to group my upgrades in "phases") shipped last night (late morning China time).

    • @johnrobinsonrcessentials
      @johnrobinsonrcessentials 16 днів тому

      I have to agree with Rlaarlos progress into the RC market. They are doing well, with a few issues along the way. But all RC manufacturers have those problems. Concerning the body shells, you are right. I found that out after the video was released and I am a bit confused as to why Rlaarlo were advertising "standard 1:10th" sizes. Clearly not if you have to change parts. But for those wishing to then it is at least possible. Thanks for highlighting that fact! Strangely I converted the AK-787 easily to my Petter Solberg Subaru Impreza shell and it fitted without swapping out anything..... So the larger width is confusing to me. But again, at least people get to tinker and learn their cars. And Rlaarlo have worked hard on their parts problems and issues and have understood that they need them at the same time of launch which again is all about the learning process. And again my friend, thanks for pointing that out. I will highlight your post so much appreciated. Have the most awesome of weekends1111 😊

    • @CJ-xn5ur
      @CJ-xn5ur 9 днів тому

      @@johnrobinsonrcessentials Because 1/10 bodies come in 2 'standard' widths, 190mm and 200mm. Any 200mm body will fit just not 190mm although there are many more 190mm bodies available than 200mm. It would have been better for body options if the out of the box setup was 190mm body friendly but the performance/handling would be better with the setup they went with imo.

  • @i4nic256
    @i4nic256 17 днів тому

    You can ditch the front receiver box and install a standard size servo.....the standard servo mount will be on the Rlaarlo upgrades catalog eventually. Then you can relocate the receiver to the 2nd box in the back.

    • @ninthislandrc
      @ninthislandrc 17 днів тому

      The 'standard' size aluminum servo mount is already available, as are all the other upgrade parts. However, it should be known that you won't find ALL of the XTS-F10 upgrade parts by going to the "XTS-F10 Parts" page on the Rlaarlo website. For some (currently unknown) reason, many of the XTS-F10 upgrade parts are found by by going to the "RZ001 Parts" page (that would be the Omni Terminator, for those not familiar with Rlaarlo's model numbers). In going to the RZ001 Parts page, parts that are compatible with the XTS-F10 area clearly labeled as such.

      Thank you buddy. Been in the hobby for years but every day is a learning experience. Which I love. Of course my thoughts at the time were, why would you need two receivers, rather than, what a great idea having two options for receiver placement. Old man brain conquers again. 🙂 Thank you. @ninthislandrc again a good point my friend. I said the chassis and some of the parts were the same, but not having the parts under the actual model number is a mistake @rlaarlo for those wishing to find the parts they want. I will send them a whatsapp now mate. Thank you again!

      The motor itself generates heat so having a bit of heat touching it wouldn’t be a problem. Now you can trust this or you can also do further reasearch because im just answering with my kind of logic.

    I have thousands of dollars worth of RC Car stuff from Racing the Bloody Things for decades. 1/8 scale mostly. but I have to say that these little rippers are great value for money. absolute junk in a sense, but good junk. cheap junk that works and highly upgradeable junk. It's good junk for the whole family. seriously, buy like 5 or 6 of these for the whole family. My Wife loves them, we race around the lounge room floor LOL with the exact one you are reviewing here. the 284131. the LED's are crazy bright. I can not find the Body Pin Holes when the lights are on because they are so bright. with a little TLC, you can make a really good but cheap hobby with these little cars. There also buggy versions, drift and race. great for keeping that muscle memory alive mid-week when theres no racing.

      Hello. Yes it does have a seperate receiver. And unfortunately I cannot suggest getting the other one as I don't own one. However I can say we beat this one up and it took it. It's an awesome piece of kit and my current favourite. Especially the price. 😊👍

      It was.............. :-) Not so much now after the handling test video was completed. However after we beat the crap out of it, it is still in perfect working order! Cannot wait to test the top speeds and skate park. :-) Have a great day buddy.

    Is they adjustable on the 124019? Was looking at it and and looks like there's rubber bushings not bolts?

      @@JohnRobinsonRCShorts steering fixed. while being "in", I checked the differentials as you suggested in another video. this was a wltoys 2023 model. and yes, the grease was applied on wrong spots, so all the gears were running dry. good that I checked and packed it with fresh grease. thanks again for great instructions!

      @@nesertema4583 Oh and still WLToys disappoint. I wish they could do the basics correctly.... Thanks for the update though and yes very happy you checked. I think they just want to sell spare parts but it results in people throwing the car in the back of the garage and leaving the hobby... 😞

    If you put a dab of greese between the shims and pinions they will stay on better while you're trying to reassemble.

    Love the commitment to testing of the bumpers....straight into wall testing and jumping into cement wall with a drop...ya literally drove the wheels off what more can we ask. Awesome job im 100% considering these for the wifes 124017 and teens 124019 my only hesitation is that the bumpers might catch each other while racing each other...instead of cars just bouncing off each other and still running having the bumpers tangle up would suck.

    Currently there is a metal reinforcement for the chassis that is 8usd and another at 15usd that look good. Maybe they'll solve that problem, I've already bought it and someday I'll asamble it 😂

    Wow that's great battery life. My bicycle gps speedometer has to be charged right before I use it or it won't connect to satellites. Wonder how long the battery lasts on standby. Hah I just saw we have the same bicycle gps, it sucks.

    Thank you for the advice.! The rationale for using extenders with larger wheels is that they can sometimes cause steering issues. Extenders are designed to provide extra space so the wheel can turn without contacting the shell.
