    Man out of a 12th scale that result is awesome that's actually a credit to the manufacturer I like to see companies producing rc cars cheap with a goal of producing quality rc cars that's definitely a win for them 👊

    Nice air . That takes practice as I’m learning lately . So I built this ramp today out of a 4x8 and used a piano hinge , beveled the corners at the peak so I can fly both ways but one side is shorter . I used the steel strip with the holes to hold the sides and made them both equal so I can adjust equally . The last thing I did was coat the wood red guard . Everything I used I had laying around and didn’t spend so I got lucky . The red guard stuff is for rolling over new shower board (concrete or green board ) to make a waterproof membrane . It’s grippy too . Works great so far but since I can get more air I have to practice and build a correct ski ramp . You know , build it the right way . This was just a fast one to lose the drywall board and brick . Nice thjng is it folds up and can be tucked away . It’s going to work for now . I failed my first flips and got scairt . I ll try again tomorrow . I can see how it works becasue when I hit them brakes in the air the car started front flipping .

    I just recently bought two wltoys remotes the 124016 and 124017. I think they're both built pretty well and are very fast for 1/12 scales. I like the way that one that you had was running that was pretty impressive. I was just looking at that the other day but since I already bought two brand new ones I just did not want to spend the money right now on a third one. Also wanted to let you know you're driving skills are insane man!

    Hey dude! 👋 Wltoys are amazing rc cars, their value for money is hard to beat! I'd say this is definitely a car for someone looking for all the bells and whistles. Alot of the parts on the rlaarlo can be used on the wltoys for upgrades if you choose to later on 😀

    @@MatthewSimm yep; gotta use droop screws to give it a low front for aero. The X-12 should be easier to mod; can’t wait for it to arrive. I hope the steering can be tightened up - in most of the vids they look a little wobbly like the 184016, which after some use is actually pretty severe, but the servo saver is super tiny and the belly pan curves up right there and WL have actually cnc’d a clearance just enough for the stock pos SS. Anyway, great vid thanks again👏👏

    BTW it's NOT CHEAP for a 250-280 1:12 rc car, but it does come with everything you want and some spare parts, I recommend putting the lower gear pinion because it leads to power issues with the esc, it cogs (shaking effect on full throttle but no moving) so lower gearing is better.

    FIRST MAKE SURE YOU LOCTITE BOTH GRUB SCREWS ON THE CENTER DRIVE SHAFT AND ALL OTHERS ON THE ENTIRE CAR!!!This is an insane lil car I'm not gonna lie and on 3s it's insane! However....it isn't very durable at all after a couple crashes I bent the center driveshaft and broke a front dogbone smh and I recommend upgrading the shocks or at least putting some better oil in them maybe thicker I got tired of the chassis smacking the ground after every jump....

    @@MatthewSimm But i love this desing. Lot better than original Dumbo RC. Better when touch, little bit smaller. I unpacked my Rlaarlo today :-) Its nice small buggy. Only cons for me are screws. They has hex 1.5mm, but thread is not corespond to hex standard. It should have M2,5 or M3 standard hex screws for 2mm wrench which are used in every better RC car. Also changing of pinion seems to me complicated when half of buggy has to be dismounted. But all other features and global quality seems to me okay. Carbon is real, not only plastic part which looks like carbon. But in price 150$ it was very good choice. But standard price 250$, there can someone hesitate. Because it is not far from for example TRX Bandit or some HPI or Corally small cars and there customer can pick easily something different. I will go with it tomorrow and im looking forward to see riding it on the street :-)
