I’m back to give my honeymoon phase opinion of the carbon fiber version . I learned how to do a mesh right by feel and not paper and keep it squared and go around the whole wheel in case of intolerances . I must have had it cok eyed a little because that’s how it wore . I did it more than a few times too checking the two pinions . Hardly noticed a difference so leave it alone ! There s a turbo boost button on the side of the controller ch4 , it has its own spot in the reciever too ch4 , whatever button to hood when turning on and doing the gyro has a 30% increase to top speed , some new turbo thing nobody mentioned . It’s in the manual . And that extra little wire is to stick in the balance and back into the receiver box to get battery voltage . That’s all that’s been new around here and work and the rlaarlo 1/14 brushless truggy . I was going to get the 11/2 desert buggy . What do you think for $160 ? Something else ?

I love that Rlaarlo went with their own design on this and didn’t copy WLtoys or XD. Which is where they usually start their designs from and then improve them. I think that 45amp esc should of a 50-60 amp which is probably why a lower c rated battery doesn’t last long. It seems like the esc is made to draw lots of hi capacity juice. I really like this . Wish that blacked out body would an option with the metal version. The carbon version is already special enough.LoL! Love that idea the young minion gave you! That was awesome!

I've seen the entry rug covering on your workbench in a few videos. How do you like it? I imagine you chose that material for low cost, reduction of scratches on workpieces, and because it looks like it might do a good job of "catching" small screws so they don't bounce off the bench and onto the floor. Does that work out to be true? I screw around with 3D printers in my basement and a work surface that could catch screws could be really nice if it works.

Thanks! Ya no discount code but I do think they’re reasonably priced on this presale. I hope they stay around that price!

What stronger batteries can I use with out moving the transmiter

@DerbyCityRC

2 ай бұрын

I’m not sure. The only other one I’ve tried was a Hosim battery, but those really aren’t any good. Just fake measurements of the battery tray and find a battery that fits. I personally like CNHL, Zeee, Gens Ace, and Hoovo for budget friendly batteries, but Ovonics are good too.

Thanks my friend! Really appreciate you saying that!

Does your's drive straight? Mine doesn't, it veers to the right. Is it damaged out of the box, or can I make some adjustments?

Yes mine drives straight. There is a ST Trim knob on the controller you can adjust for straightness.

What do I need to look for when buying a biger battery how high of a c rating and a mh rating can the metal omni terminator handle I know it can only go as high as 3s

@DerbyCityRC

Ай бұрын

The mah and c rating are not necessarily a rating that can be too high. I’d shoot for atleast 50c and with mah, that’s just relevant to the running time of the battery, so if it’s high, just periodically make sure you don’t have any electronics overheating from overuse.

wow Im surprised by the size comparison, I was sure its close to a 1/10 scale. with the high pinion it has good performance but for this price I want a bigger car. rival mt10 is 320$ and is a better deal.200$ for this size is a bit high. great video and review.

Yup if you’re in the market for an actual 1/10, there is definitely better. I personally do feel it’s priced well for a 1/12. They definitely put the work in on this one, just weird they oversold the size. Doesn’t seem like that would work in their favor. Thanks!

@@DerbyCityRC maybe it's more of an Outcast if you put some larger tires on the terminator? I bet you'll have a good assortment of tires by now lol!

Maybe lol. Probably really needs the bigger motor first lol

Could you recommend new tires other than the ralarlo tires that would bolt on without an adapter the stock ones don't have much traction on an limerock road

@DerbyCityRC

Ай бұрын

I’m not sure which tires would be best for limerock unfortunately

Cannot wait to see you put a more powerful motor in it. Will it be from the Carbon Fiber version 3650-2650kv motor?

@DerbyCityRC

I’m excited too! Might be roughly that size, but it won’t be that motor.

Thanks for all your help I have one more question can the omni terminator run on an off road track or is it just strictly a basher I would like to race my brothers on the local rc track they have traxxas slashes 1/10 scale ,also how do I get the omni rc to handle better ? At higher speeds

@DerbyCityRC

You’re welcome! Ya this car could definitely do well on the track. You would want to tune the suspension but absolutely! Rlaarlo even has paddle tires along with many upgrades available. Including adjustable upper control arms for changing the camber angle: rlaarlo.com/collections/rlaarlo-rz001-parts?ref=ml6gV9o7

I was worried about the lower region where the shock is mounted. The little plastic between each of rhe 4 holes looked sus But nvm it looks good. Def a little underpowered this version, but eh I wish it stayed at the current price though

@DerbyCityRC

Ya those are pretty solid arms, I think it would be a while before that was an issue. Slight underpowered so for alot of people the roller option might be best.

It was so cute that your daughter was sorry cuz you flipped your RC then fixed it by giving it the Kevin Talbot "Footage". I'm thinking of getting the roller version of this truck. Is the servo a normal tenth scale size?

@DerbyCityRC

4 ай бұрын

lol She is ADORABLE, thanks!! I glanced at the servo, it’s under the esc (wow it wasn’t long ago I was looking, but I think that’s where it was. I forgot). I don’t believe it was full size. I’ll try to update again here soon but servo is darn strong and fast for an RTR.

On Rlaarlo's website they listed the amount they have in stock. I always get that fear of missing out but yet I don't want to over pay either. They have the Omni Termination Carbon Fiber version from $330 to now $250 (sure I know it is a marketing gimmick); but do think we will see this cheaper by the time it hit Amazon? Or buying the pre-sale is the better bargain? Your thoughts.

I really don’t know. Hopefully it doesn’t go up, as I feel they’re priced well. I wouldn’t be surprised if they go cheaper but I just have no clue. If they did it would likely be a while.

Any recommendations on were to get a new body for the holyton 920se after.my upgrade. I destroyed it. Gona try the shoegu tip on a new one

Ok 3 trucks on my radar WOV racing 1/9, Arrma Big rock 3s 1/10, Rlarrlo Omni terminator carbon fiber . Which is y’all favorite from these options?

@DerbyCityRC

4 ай бұрын

Don’t have a big rock, but the granite being somewhat similar, I’ll go off that. Granite is the craziest out of them all for sure and I’d say I prefer the WOV over the Omni, mainly for the size and power, but of course it’s a good bit more money. Big rock is the only one of those without a center diff and the wov is bigger, almost as fast, and seems like even over time, its durability should be similar. Parts ship from the US. The Omni is still great for the money, it’s just smaller than I hoped. I think I’m going for the wov. Whichever you decide, it helps us out if I can give you an affiliate link if you don’t mind. Feel free to ask more questions 👍

I was strongly considering the carbon version of this but horizon is having a sale on the brushless granite for $260!
