    Thank you for the honest review. I concur completely. I haven't personally had a problem with the shocks. I hope this car stays around for a long time and more parts come out for it

    I've ran 10-15 battery packs thru my CF rtr version. I haven't as much as changed the shock preload. It's straight out the box. No issues at all so far aside from the gyro going nuts when i did turn it on.
    I ordered a HW 10bl combo with it but haven't had a reason to put it in yet.
    It's far from my favorite rig but I'm in no way disappointed in it. I've only jumped it off my small ramp so jumps have been limited to 10-12 ft high but it's taken it like a champ so far. If it breaks today it doesn't owe me anything. I do hope the aftermarket will get behind it for parts support. I'm not crazy about only having 1 place to get stuff from forever.

    Luv running this awesome little truck, 200 Quid for the carbon rtr version is a steal in my opion. The smaller Rlaarlo Desert Buggy is also a hoot to drive as well, fast but cheap.

    Nice! thanks for the detailed review. I also set the droop before running it and no trouble with the diff cups wearing.
    Actually no trouble at all apart from one failure: one CVD ball broke at the pin and i'm in Rear wheel drive for a while 😅
    I have the Carbon RTR, electronics are good so far, only the brakes are too strong (front flips a lot) and not waterproof i've been told

    Great information video mate. Your luck you didn't get it with electronics. I've changed all the electronics and controller too. And yeap the small screws are a pain. I'm in the process of changing a lot of the screws to 3 mm. And putting battery brackets out wider.

    • @RCvapor
      @RCvapor  3 місяці тому +1

      Thank you 👍🏻, yes the 1.5mm screws are a pain 😢, would be interested to see what you do with the battery tray, yeah i always buy rollers if i can, i like to add my own electronics, and always use the same transmitter, i just buy extra recievers 😁

    • @Hungrybird474

      The 1.5mm screws are not good for sure .

  • @bradcarpenter1881
    @bradcarpenter1881 2 місяці тому +2

    The stock differential drive cups are the biggest weakness on these trucks. Completely destroyed mine after only 2 weeks and 6-7 packs. Never ran more than 3S and stock gearing. Thankfully rlaarlo offer upgraded differentials that have stronger drive cups, but that's the biggest issue imo and as of now no one is mentioning or talking about it.

    • @bradcarpenter1881
      @bradcarpenter1881 2 місяці тому +2

  • @philote09
    @philote09 3 місяці тому +1

    Thanks for the great honest review! I have the Carbon Fiber RTR version and haven't really changed anything yet. The only issues I have so far is that the car is pretty nose-heavy and that the brakes are waaaay too strong (and the ESC is non-programmable). Obviously, you wouldn't have the second issue in your roller setup, but how about the first? Did you notice that, too?

    • @RCvapor
      @RCvapor  3 місяці тому +2

      Thank you very much 😊👍🏻
      Yes your correct im able to adjust the esc so the braking is not an issue, yes the car is a little front heavy, so when jumping i tend to give a little more throttle just before it takes to the air, also if you thicken up the centre diff fluid that should give you a little more air control, but mainly its adapting your driving to the car imo, hope that helps 👍🏻

    you cold try to make the shocks more durable adding o-rings or fuel tube around the rods to act as bump stops. I did this to the AK917 shocks to stop the e-clips from popping off

    • @RCvapor
      @RCvapor  3 місяці тому

      I did that with my 917 too 👍🏻 yes i may try on the omni, although it will be good to see if there are any shocks that will work as spares too 😀

    Okay so... I waited 2 months for mine, and i cannot say, that it was worthless wait BUT the car has some issues. I have carbon rtr version, but i already changed the radio and esc because they kinda suck. That esc is really smooth, kinda like sensored esc, but the 200% brakes sucks :D so i changed the esc to hobbywing 10bl120 g2 (too :D). The radio is kinda good, but is really not any better than that dumborc which metal version have(dumborc have better gyro with supported transmitter tho). Gyro wasn't working properly(servo wobble) and the reverse was just weird so i changed that to radiolink rc6gsv3. I changed the diff fluids to 100K rear/front and 1mill middle, topped shock oil with 400cst oil and i've ran around 6 packs thru mine. I've broke rear body skid plate, stripped few screws (few 1.5mm ones and one 2mm below motor mount), all shock stand screws bend, lower rear bumper screw was bend (dont know how) and i bend wheelie bar screws :D As for another modifications i build some protection around middle diff so the gunk cant get inside, after watching this video i removed sway bars :D, installed big battery kit, i vented the tires from outside and patched the rim, and i set the droop screws and that's about it. I like this car a lot, but in my opinion, the center diff "cover" is major flaw on its own and the weak standoffs and wheelie bar too. Maybe ill order some titanium screws or S2 standoffs in the future. Im still running stock pinion on 3s, but i definitely will run that thing on 4s sometime. Overall really decent car. I've had a lot of rcs (including kraton 6s and traxxas udr) and this little basher is the overall toughest one!!!
    Nice vid, and nice car :D !

    What can be done about the chassis slap if I adjust the droop screws ? My Chassis is already showing some wear from jumping.

    • @RCvapor
      @RCvapor  3 місяці тому

      If you want to prevent chassis slsp, stiffer springs in the shocks will help, i will be doing a video soon on different shock setups and options 👍🏻

      @@RCvapor Very nice - thanks! I've also experimented with using the Gens Ace 60c 3600 mAh "shorty" packs. If you put in the vertical strap mounts, you can still keep the ESC in the factory location but put the shorty pack vertically and gain some extra mAh run time. I put a castle sidewider system in my Terminator roller and it's just insane on 3s! love it
