      @@wootwootjrYes, technically. But in actuality after driving it and trying the different settings over and over, the difference was hardly noticeable at best. The servo actuated wing isn’t a new concept. It’s been tried before in RC. It’s not used often because it’s not a monumental performance increase.

      Moving the shocks out alters the handling the car first and foremost. The better route would actually be to adjust the droop screws. The chassis sits too high from the factory. When the droop is adjusted the wheels will look higher in the wheel arches.

    Rlaarlo always sends there cars with TH. Dual rates down (every one I've gotten has been this way out of the box) most other reviewers are pullling nearer to 40 mph on 2s and 50 plus on 3s. Rlaarlo is one of the only Budget rc manufactures thats living up to its speed claims. just kinda surprized you didnt have the same experience as many others have.

    The car does do 75mph with a 3s and included speed gearing. It's an incredibly fast car for a 1/10th, drivetrain handles 4s no problems, I'm running a 3665 can and 4s and 100mph not even on speed gearing. The car is STOUT. just needs foam tires for 100+mph speeds. Radio is also compatible with dumbo RC. Probably the best speed car for the money ever sold

  • @chiccorocker
    @chiccorocker Рік тому +1

    I'm going to bet the ESC is from Surpass Hobby. They produce some motor and ESC with that same sensor cable and connector and it's a temperature sensor. If the motor gets too hot the ESC shuts down, but it's a normal sensorless brushless system otherwise. To be fair that car looks sick, might be very well worth it.

    Sooooooooo, thanks for vid however I do have some comments. The first is that this is not a "Prototype" body style. It is directly styled after the group D race car from Mazda, just like th elast car was styled after the Group D Porsche. Secondly, you complain about the handling and drive it like a car park basher. It's not design to do that. It is design to be like the race car, a race car. You never saw the group D cars driving like drifters or thieves. The car is designed for track racing or speed runs. The rear spoiler is most active at speed (see where this is going?) it will produce more downforce the faster you go. The idea is that on your speed runs you start with it up to help keep the rear wheels straight and gripping then as you reach higher speeds you lower the rear spoiler to allow both grip and slip. No point in sitting there hammering a car when you have not tested it as designed and honestly IMHO did a poor job of reviewing it for the purpose it is intended. I do enjoy this channel a lot but you missed the mark on this one brother by a good amount.
