Hey there Matt! Very Well done review brother and very well executed. Wicked little truck from Rlaarlo here in my opinion. Yes at first a bit disappointed to find out it’s not a true 1/10 scale, as I found out at the China rc expo about a month ago that it was really a 1/12 scale. I’m over it now LoL! The truck seems to run amazingly, with blazing but controllable speed and rock solid handling. Who wants an over powered rc that constantly flips on its back anyway? Not me. This has beautiful air control and seemed to handle anything you were throwing at it. Rlaarlo, if your reading Matt’s comments, this thing is really well done. It seemed like range was not an issue either! Man , I want one… really bad! 🤗👊🏼😝✌🏼
Oh you got to go to the expo? That's awesome!
It does handle a lot like a 1/10th scale, but is intead a 1/12th 🤔
I gotta agree it lands pretty damn nice for a small car! and maybe the shocktowers issue can be fixed by droop screws? Definitely psyched on this release, i own a D12 and i need a more durable replacement. Thats not 600 dollars lmao
@@MatthewSimm LoL ! No I didn’t, but China Expats did and he posted his video on UA-cam.
Oh right, yeah, seen that one!
I'd love to go one day though and blog it haha 😄
Nice video I enjoyed this! The car looks awesome also going to have to get myself one!
Thank you 😊 I look foward to your video if you're planning one!
Don't forget that the carbon fiber version comes with a gyroscope function!
Can't wait for that!
Amazining, first review up great job!
Thanks dude 😀
Pretty dang cool, I really wish they would've made it a true 1/10 scale though... I think it would've been much better but it looks like it rips and jumps nice so that's what counts at the end of the day....
That's it dude! It definitely performs well, hopefully they keep making bigger and better!
Great review! I been waiting on this one for a while now!
Thanks 😊
Wow impressive little unit looks great ran outstanding floats through the air incredibly well can't believe how fast it was lively little ripper great video Matty 👊
i really enjoyed it thanks bro! glad you liked the video :)
Yessss what a beast! For the price I think it’s great. Rlaarlo are innovating with these new designs and not just rebranding which is what we see a lot of cheaper Chinese companies doing. Great that you got this on early man it’s an impressive truck for sure. Also glad you are in the GPS Track, Start, Read gang with me hahaha love that! I love it when people stay strong and true to themselves and never let other peoples arrogance/opinions influence their decisions. Top man Mr Simm 20k is coming up man and you deserve it massively. #legend #startstopread
I did really have fun and it was a beast, but if you plan to bash it hard like I did, definitely take some extra screws haha 😄
Nah, I'm at 18m subs dude, didn't you see the sub animation 😂 jk
@MatthewSimm hahaha dint see that at first went back and see the 18 million!! 😆👍😎
Hahaha 😆 couldn't help myself
yes, I hope mjx also start their own designs because yeah... they take a lot of inspiration from the bigger companies (Traxxas, arrma)
Wow that's a great rc car. Well done rlarlo. Great vid Matt, that 4S testing is amazing👍🏼
Super fun! 4s was great but I'd drive it more with 3s haha
Just found my next best channel after Kevin talbot. Well done. Love your videos.
Thanks 😊
Been waiting to see this in action for a while now. Looks pretty nice for sure! Seems like brakes are set kinda high. Thanks for sharing Matthew! 👍🏻
Thanks for watching dude!
The brakes could definitely use some tuning haha or maybe I need more practice 😅
As always, great video Matty! Your vid's are some of the best on UA-cam and I really enjoy them. I have an AMD12 and found out the hard way that the rear dog bones are crap. They bend easily and the pins come loose and damage the cups. After ordering new ones and replacing hinge pins that the hex had been stripped during manufacture, I doubt I will invest in this brand again. Hopefully this new car will hold up because my AMD12 had a very short life, sadly.
I really appreciate that thanks dude! 😊
I haven't tested the D12 unfortunately, have you tried to fit any other brands? Maybe that could fix the issue.
Thank you very much for your past support! Two years ago, RLAARLO was still a beginner! I believe the Terminator will not disappoint you!
This looks perfect. I've been wanting a smallish truck to keep in the vehicle full time for times of emergency bashing. I've started to order a 14th scale MJX half a dozen times lately but been waiting to see this first.
Both are great rc cars! I love the mjx too but obviously this is better
Incredible video! After charging my battery for the second drive the esc + power button is blinking red and it's no longer making connection with the remote. Any ideas on what could be causing this and how to resolve it?
Hi Matthew. Thanks for the great review. I did receive mine just last week but your review was the first one I watched. One thing I noticed at 9:20 into the clip is the "self-righting" feature. Is that a pre-programmed button or did you have to do that manually by using the trigger? Cheers.
Thank you for actually driving it, bashing it, changing gearing and esc all in the same video. I was afraid they would unboxing, then driving in another video. Down the road different gearing
You're welcome 😊 thanks for watching!
Good review Matthew. I was looking at one of these myself. I have a 917 and a 787. Rlaarlo are really good value for the money. But always strip them down as they tend to arrive with little shock oil and a few other build issues that will not take you long to sort.
That's good information for people buying! Always check your rc cars haha I personally just test them how they come and leave the results to their QC team haha 😄
Good see matthew back
Thanks 😊
Cool video!! Im trying to get into the hobbie but just having issues deciding what to purchase since theres so much out there. What would you recommend me to start of with thanks????
Everything is nice besides the size of it, great review
Hopefully they make bigger models in the future! 😀
Love your videos bro...another good one. Thanks
Glad you like them!
Hey matt, could you tell me the battery size please, ive just ordered the metal version but wanna get some better 3s shortie packs
Cheers
Im hoping the zeee 3s 2200 mah 50c packs will fit
Was the carbon fiber chasis damaged? Any cracking or peeling?
Best review of this car online yet.... Watching over and over while waiting for mine. Did you set up the gyro before this video?
Did you get it and how was it ?
What a ripper! Shame it’s not bigger though, they’ve missed out on an opportunity to take on some of the big boys.
Top video as well dude. Fast paced and all the action 👌
It's average!! 🍆 😉
Jokes aside, I agree. Hopefully, this is just the beginning for Rlaarlo.
Thanks mate, appreciate it!
@@MatthewSimm I mean average is better than nothing right? 🤏
I'm still waiting on some of these companies like Raarlo and MJX to come with a 1/10th scale or even 1/9th-1/8th would be great to see what they could do. I bet it has to do with shipping costs and size and weight along with total price they can realistically charge.
I agree, this would be awesome, but they also need to compete with already well established brands with much better parts support etc..!
So I'm told 🤣
Great test/review. 👍👍👍👍
Thanks 😊
When you added the esc from the sketer, did you also switch to the motor from the sketer, or were you just running the stock motor? I only ask because i have a complete set of electronics from a sketer and this looks like a match made in heaven.
I used the stock motor. The skateboard I think is a 1/8 motor no? I'll have to check lol, if it fits, that would be a great pair with the roller model!
Beauty bro 🎉 Thought it a gonner with that headlong curb kiss 😅
Me too dude! I nearly called the 🚑 haha 😉
How do you install the speed pinion
Sick testing and great truck they are making great stuff rlaarlo
Definitely dude, and thanks for watching 😀
Hey matthew any chance you could tell us the size/length for those shock mounting screws?
I forgot this thing had self righting, now I want one!
What's a better buy in your opinipm this aluminum version or the hosim x07?
I know this is probably a funny question but could I run a li-lion battery in the Rlaarlo Terminator?
Hi Matthew a other question I do have a 3300kv motor on 3.175mm shaft 3650 plus a 60a or 45a on the roller will that be OK 👍
Should be fine dude 👌
Have you got a link for that ESC upgrade bro? Cheers!
Thoughts on this vs Maverick Quantum 2 Flux? Trying to decide between the two..
I haven't tried the hpi sorry dude 😐
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?
Yes, however you might need to buy a IC3 to xt60 adaptor for the spektrum
I just started getting into the hobby with my son and this is what I went with I enjoy it a lot! It rips!
Please can you give to me the measures of the battery tray or the 3s stock lipo? Thanks
Hey m8 ..Just checking if is it safe to run 4s battery since it's a 60 amp.. I'm pretty sure for 4s batteries it should be 120 amp esc ..thx
Yeah dude, like I mentioned in the video, you'll need to swap your esc 😀
Have you got suggestions on decent 3s batteries that'll fit? Is it an xt60 plug? I'm still waiting patiently on shipments to begin.
Did you get it and how was it out of the box ? Loose screws ? Gyro work , shaky wheels ?
@@Hungrybird474 yes. A week ago tomorrow. I've only ran 2 packs through it so far. I haven't tried to turn the gyro on. It didn't come activated. Looks pretty simple from the videos I watched. I haven't even installed the wheelie bar but it does have plenty of power for wheelies. Also haven't checked for loose screws but nothing fell off so far. Everyone who's seen it has been impressed with how sturdy it's built and surprised by how heavy it is. The body is thin and I somehow dented the tailgate but it didn't make a hole completely through. The suspension is great and tuned perfectly it just soaks up bumps and landings without drama. The brakes are very strong and I've front flipped several times just slowing down. It does traction roll pretty easy in grass but slides well on other surfaces.
I think it's a good little truck and I do like it. The radio has lots of buttons that I haven't bothered to look up what they do.
I cannot find a self righting button but I swear I saw that as a feature but it can be done manually if need to. I honestly can't say I like it more than my Gorgon for my favorite small cheap truck yet. The Gorgon is 3s brushless 4000kv 100amp Spektrum stuff with a Dumbo. It's the $139 blue one and by catching sales cost about $250 to build including the truck cost. I haven't heard anyone who owns either truck regret buying them.
It went hard !! Wicked little truck man , killer vid 🔥🤘🏻
It did bro! I had lots of fun 😁
Show de vídeo, ganhou um inscrito do Brazil !
Hey 👋 thanks 😊
Hi Matthew how are you keeping great video once again mate
I've just ordered mine but I have the roller one coming. Do you think a arrma Spektrum firma motor and esc would be OK 👍 😊
Hey I'm well thanks dude ☺️ yourself?
And yeah, that motor and esc should be fine. Just double check sizes
What voltage is the battery?
I say yes to everything in this vid...👍. I'm subscriber 18,000,001. Love it.
Great Review 👍 is it possible to Turn lights in the Front on/off ? Thanks
I couldn't work it out lol, but you can just unplug the cable haha
@@MatthewSimm please let Rlaarlo know to build this function 💪
Awesome review bud... man I wish traxxas or arrma put little flags and spare gaskets in their rtr kits. I mean you pay enough for them lol but you sold me on this truck I want one now
That would be nice man! Accessories definitely help the unboxing experience 😀
The angle of the drive shaft with the front diff is inefficient and will cause premature wear. It also means the torque to the front vs back is different.
You got a subscribe from me today because you was the was you reviews this car i was waiting for daaaays
Hey 👋 thanks for the sub 😀 welcome!!
Do you think the carbon fiber one would be better for bashing over a field or the aluminium one
Great review Matt! I won the 6 piece carbon fiber accessory prize during their event and wasn’t sure if I would be buying this or not because I have such a long wish list. After watching your video I definitely plan on it once I have the money!
Oh wow congratulations dude!
@@MatthewSimm thanks man! I’m jealous you already have yours lol such a fun looking truck!
Does it come with charger?
Hello what was the name and brand of that esc for 4 cell because the max 10 I looked up only went up to 3 cell
Max10 sct 120amp esc
HW30102601
Any feedback on what they are like to deal with when purchasing online?
Unfortunately I haven't used their website. Being a youtuber I don't know if that would change my experience, I think it's best to look at other people's experiences from groups like on Facebook. Sorry I couldn't help 🤔
Could you make a video of how a longer and larger battery is mounted than the? one the car comes with
Where can I get one of mini cordless hex drivers? Great vid too. Just got yourself another subscriber 👌🏻
That's a little beast mate 👍🦘😂😂
Definitely dude haha 😄
I just got the alloy version. Can i run a 5200mah 3s on it or is will it fry the esc?
How was it ?
@@Hungrybird474 when I said got I meant ordered. It was pre order so it took almost 2 months but it arrives Saturday
What is the actual size of the stock battery? I was going to try and find a 3000mah the same size so I wouldn’t have to move the esc. Their website doesn’t show or even offer the stock battery
Also can you run the bigger gear all the time or just on high speed runs? Thank you! I ordered one based on your review
I have arranged for an engineer to replace the screws of the bracket with higher strength, without threads in the middle to enhance thickness and strength! Thank you very much for testing!
Good idea 💡
Yeah that is a deferent weak point eh' I've also noticed a couple of other weak points in reviews 1 is the rear skid falling off the other being the centre diff leaking because the srcrews weren't tight enough!!!! I hope Rlaarlo sort the issues before production
Thank you for raising the question! We are optimizing!
@@jimiwith2eyes
@@EdisonRCWorkshop I've ordered a carbon fiber one anyway just hoping they put some better shock mounting screws in the box if not on the car? I'll be checking the centre diff to make sure it's not leaking also!!!! Overall it seems like a great little car!!!!🙂
Hi Matt. What is the maximum length battery that will fit, straight out of the box with no modifications? Thanks. Jack
I think it's about 110mm in length. My 4s battery is 105mm.
@@MatthewSimm sweet. Thanks mate
This truck does feel like it drives itself also the distance is amazing
I've been thinking about getting this one, would be my second Rlaarlo and I think for what your paying they are great..!
Definitely a great rc dude!
58 mph . Holy smokey and the bandit . My little 2s hbx 16980SA is slow compared to this . Some 3s batteries on the way though . And it’s an east on 3s . Loads of fun . Waiting in this
I don't know why reviewers keep trying to pass it off as a 1/11'th scale - its small, 1/12th scale that's it. Probably going to buy one.
It looks like 3s power is enough for this cool little truck.
I totally agree! 4s is fun though haha 😄
Good video btw!!
Thanks dude 😀
Hey Matthew! Great video, thanks so much! One question: could you put the Terminator on a scale and write here its weight (without battery)? Weight is always a very good indicator of the 'actual' size.
I don't even have a scale sorry 😐
Man this thing lands nice on those high speed jumps, even the slower higher drops it lands really well! Probably also the driver but man it seems like a fun truck! I suspect, looking at the way the shock towers bent, that probably the droop screws can help not wrecking the shock towers?
I was fairly impressed with how it handles! Hmm, maybe I need to adjust the droop screws 🤔
@MatthewSimm maybe! 🤷♂️ It's just that one sheared off landing upside down (i think?) which may just be a separate thing. But the 'bent down' shock mounts may be prevented by limiting the arm extension through those droop screws! (If they're not caused by upside down landings! 😆)
Anyway you bashed it real good. That's what we were all hoping for. Awesome review! 👌
Two broke off, but I just replaced them all, but even my replacement bent (noticed after editing, lol), so it's not the quality of screw.
@MatthewSimm .. yikes! Im sure we can come up with mods 😂
Great video Matt , I’m a kiwi and me and my wife are looking at moving to Adelaide or possibly Darwin , it’s good because rc is much cheaper in Aussie and we could get our channel pumping over there , love your work anyway bro
I'm your 100th subscriber now haha 😄
Good luck with the move!
@@MatthewSimm thanks man I’ve been stuck on 99 subs for ages , I’m learning a lot from your videos me and wifey are big fans
Doing the maths on speed with the supplied pinions, you should have gotten 48 and 68 km/h with the standard 24t pinion. As you had swapped in the 27t pinion, it should have been 52 and 77 which is close to the claimed 80 km/h.
I'd prefer the smaller 2200 mAh battery too, but I haven't seen them selling spare batteries (I know you can use any small size standard battery, but still).
Hmm, I guess we will see with other reviews and what they get 🤔
Seems to be a really well built basher! And great value for money as well?
A good basher indeed. Is it worth it? I think it's priced maybe a bit high, the aluminium model is probably better value imo
Better value than Traxxas or Arrma i would recommend a beginner to start with Rlaarlo instead
Id say yes and no. It depends. If you're a true beginner who is buying their very first rc id say no as each time it breaks you'll be waiting weeks to get parts each time and that can be frustrating. But if you're a beginner who has at least one back up rc then it's great. But for a very first rc id say getting a entry level arrma like a Gorgon or their other brushed or 3s brushless models is a better choice for a very first rc.
We have prepared the parts and upgraded parts in advance! Everything will get better, we won't sell it too expensive!
@@cwatson42785
Just put my 120amp esc on 4s baby. Awesome beast now
Great vid. 1 possible complaint though. I believe I can hear a very annoying full throttle click coming through. Picky I know.
Yes you can hear that 😀 My bad haha
You reckon 3650/3100kv on 3s will be fine with this car? And the gearing
You think abit more kv on the carbon fiber one would be good? What about maybe even 120a eac
Is it waterproof or resistant?
This thing looks insane! Did you adjust the ESC brakes/throttle to get such good air control or is that out the box?
That is out of the box dude 😀 it can be a little nose heavy though.
@@MatthewSimm is it super fun otherwise? Suspension looks awesome
Love that black version! Is that stock ESC programmable?
I'm not sure sorry dude!
@@MatthewSimm it would help with that insane brake force if you could tune that way down
Ordered the carbon version 😅
Nice dude!
Be good to see a head to head between this and the Rival MT10, love the 1/8th style motor mount all cars should use this
I do need to buy a mt10 one day haha 😄
@@MatthewSimmthe brushed version is on sale for $179 right now. I ordered one and a 10BL combo for it today.
MT10 is on sale? Where?
@@boduke9428 if you get this let me know where the sale is!
@@richardulrich9001 Tower Hobbies. The MT10 and SC10 brushed models are both $179 and both were still in stock a few hours ago.
But rlaarlo advertises that it is 4s capable on the stock esc they ship with the 3650 version. I was hoping to see that claim actually tested.
That is quite the weapon on 3s...Insane on 4s. Think the carbon eddition with the 540 size motor is the one to get for me.
Great air control and for the size handles rather well... Broken screws...Meh..easy fix.
Epic review Matty!!
the motor is rated for 4s?
@@hby7768 KV rating says yes. Stock esc is a no for 4s. Always watch temps though.
Thanks a million dude! 😊 a great little rc indeed!
Electric motors are (mostly) limited by heat and rpm. Is 4s okay? Sure, as long as it's cool enough, could you run it on 6s? Yeah but probably not long before it over heats lol. I'd suggest just using its recommended voltage unless you know what you're doing 😀
@@steveblackbird5174 do you have a recommendation for a budget 4s rated esc for this car's setup? and a cheap fan/heat sink for the motor? im new to customizing RTR.
What’s the upgraded gear you installed?!
its the one that come with the rc car
@@MatthewSimm oh awesome! I bought this truck last night! Any idea what the lead time is? Super pumped! I am new to the hobby first truck. Any suggestions on battery chargers for this?
Its a nice looking truck for sure, not sure Im going to bother getting one now though. Bit disappointed in how small it is for a supposidly 1/10, more 1/12 scale. Also not close to 80kph on 3s.
Hopefully they release something bigger in the future! But this is a good start 👌
What was the gyro setting in %?
0% I forgot to put it on
@@MatthewSimm even more impressive 👍🏻
My roller just did 72mph on 4s on my Termi roller with Traxxas electronics.
That's crazy dude!
You can't even buy these yet! Kinda puts me off of the company when you see them being reviewed before you can even buy them. Good review but you should a waited till Friday February 16th when presale starts.
I can understand the frustration but because shipping times are different for everyone, some of us will recieve them earlier and to be transparent with you, the earlier I can get a video out, the better it is for views for my channel etc.. 😀
@@MatthewSimm I didn't know presale started at different times in other countries. It's scheduled for the 16th here in the states. Thanks for being transparent.👍
Where screwdriver is that you’re using??
That is what I want to know too. That thing looks really nice.
The screw driver I'm just testing. It's nice, but maybe a bit to weak. Good for smaller than 1/12th haha
Thank you for this video! Ive been waiting for a review of this truck! It looks awesome for sure, but its not blowing away the other trucks I'm considering, so I still have a tough decisionm. Should I go for the cheaper Haiboxing 2997a or go bigger with the Maverick Quantum 2 which is around the same price as the Omni. Tough to decide. Omni looks amazing, though
Be prepared to spend a lot more in repairs with the Quantum. From the looks I like all the cars from that series, but go watch a few vids, apparently their parts are breaking easily.
@@philote09 I've heard that with the old model. The vids I've seen on the Quantum 2 seem to say it's very durable. Have you heard differently about the new one?
That's a tough decision dude! 😳 unfortunately I do not have an experience with the Maverick. Hpi will have better parts support, but I cannot attest to its durability.
Thank you for your thoughts
@@richardulrich9001 I'm late, yes... No, I guess my information related to the old model, too.
Has anyone received any updates on the whereabouts of their Omni order?
I just got my shipping confirmation, mine is being shipped directly from China DHL got my tracking # today, it should be delivered in a week or so for me
Web site never loads and i can never find the carbon fiber one. Any help?
Did you try my link? If that doesn't work, try google
@@MatthewSimm The crazy thing is i have tried yours and multiple other links from streamers and have not found it online . Amazon lists the normal version but not the Carbon one. and i have tried Google?
Do you think the extra $50 for the carbon version is worth it over the regular rtr?
I do, mainly for the bigger motor and steel gears, but you could also buy a bigger motor for less than $50. I guess it's up to the individual 🤔
It's not just the motor you'll have to buy, though. You also have to buy the motor mount of the carbon version if you want to fit a bigger can into the regular rtr.
Oh right, I was not aware of this, thanks!
Stop 👏 Saying 👏 "Aluminium" 😂 Otherwise, fantastic video my man! 😎🤙
Dude!!! What is that electric driver kit. Looks perfect for rc. I want one! Link please 🙏 great review, I have been waiting for this. Not sure if I’m getting this or a 1:8ty h buggy, but I’m glad to see what Rlaarlo are doing. Arrma and Traxas have had it to easy for to long. Looking at the Rlaarlo buggies if they made a 1:8 at £350 I would be all over it. It’s a subscribe from me.
I'm just testing atm, but I'd say this is okay for smaller 1/14, 1/16 and smaller cars etc.. it's not very powerful.
I'm currently looking for the perfect electric screwdriver haha.
sequremall.com/products/electric-screwdriver?ref=MATTHEWSIMM&variant=43267637248188
@@MatthewSimm I imagined not to powerful, but in small scale you would donintial losen by hand anyway so not to strip, this just looks like it take the work out of it. Stick a couple of small hand drivers and wheel hex in the bag and you have a great field kit.
@@MatthewSimm ps looks like you were first on with the terminator. Have you done a naughty lol, thought release was 18th
Haha, nah, I'm not under any kind of NDA with Rlaarlo. Some will just get it earlier due to shipping times, maybe because I'm in Australia and that's closer to China, haha 😄
@@MatthewSimmwell I chucked the video on the FB group. I’m sure you will get some more views from it
I'm so gutted about its size, why call it a 1/10? it clearly isn't in fact its closer to a 1/14 than 1/10
I really was looking forward to this truck, it just my personal preference, I only like 1/10 and bigger
oh and nice video/review
I understand dude! If it's 1/10th scale you're looking for, this probably won't be it but it's definitely fun haha 😆 thanks for watching bro!!
Hiho, what will be the price for?
$249 USD I believe 😀
What speeds does the car get with the 3S battery?
It's in the video dude 😀 2s, 3s and a 4s speed run 🏃♂️
Admite 4s?
Worth the car?
You can see the telemetry, speed on the controller?
When you use 4S, please turn on the electronic turbine to perform somersaults!
Is the stock (60a) ESC compatible with 4s? With both standard and high speed pinion gear?
Also what do mean "electric turbine"? Can you explain more what the "hyrbrid button" does?
