Hey i want to also add and i don't think I've ever mentioned it but you seem like an awesome dad to your kids. Love how you combined the fun of the with them and spending a ton of quality time with them. They seem to always be having a blast with their pops and I'm sure they will never forget these memories when they're older. Definitely seem like the cool, fun dad lol. All dads should find a hobby both can enjoy and rc seems like the perfect one! 🍻🍻
Thanks so much dude!
Yes i definitely try to do right by them. RC is definitely one of the best hobbies for that! 😊
The HBX looks great but the RLAARLO is just next level design and quality. They killed it with this truck. I'm an Arrma and Traxxas guy but these look to be right up there in quality and performance, and I need a smaller basher to toss around. Kind of a mix between the XMaxx and the Big Rock. I think I'm gonna purchase the carbon version tonight. So much for the money!
Ya Rlaarlo did great with this one! If this video helped you, using the link I provided to purchase it helps us out, which we appreciate!
Thanks man and if you decide to get one, I agree, the carbon version has a lot for the extra $50 👍👍
I have the carbon version... it's really good. Exceptional build quality.
so you are aware it's China, so it's a metric 1:10 scale right? lolz. I know
@publicprofilename4273 lol!
Actually I have brought up a similar concept. I imagine China has fewer big diesel trucks running around and so on the non scale cars like monster trucks (the Omni terminator for example) this truly could be real. lol
This is my go to channel for RC bashing .
Thanks!! 😊
I agree with your conclusion, but I’d say there is a caveat.
The Rlaarlo, according to them, will be upped to $270 after pre-sales. Meanwhile, I’ve frequently seen the HBX go on sale for $150 since it was released. Once that price disparity kicks in, not sure the Rlaarlo will be worth the extra 💰
I agree! However I’m hoping the “crossed out” price is a gimmick. They raise it too much and they’re not gonna sell many. Hoping it stays where it’s at.
fully kicked.. is $270 now, I'm out on it. I can get a Redcat Blackout or Volcano Pro brushless or one of many Traxxas, Losi, Arrma etc in the 250 to 300 range, so I'm betting I'm not alone in noticing that. I bet it'll be back where I legit think it belongs, 200 sometime in the not too distant future.
@publicprofilename4273 I completely agree it belongs at $200 with the carbon version pretty reasonable still at $250. $270 makes it a hard bargain when not much more gets you a better and bigger truck.
It's still $200. I just checked
@joseCalderon1976 yup. Hasn’t changed yet.
The Rlaarlo suspension seems to be the cats ass. It ate up your little speed bump tester and seemed to be a lot smoother. Way netter brakes too. I gotta give it hands down to rlaarlo. Anyways it's my second time to the channel and I'm liking it. Hello from Canada 🇨🇦
Yes the Rlaarlo’s suspension is quite literally one of the best I’ve ever seen of any car. Welcome back my neighbor to the north!
Hi guy's I've bought the Raarlo carbon fiber model RZ001B-C just waiting on delivery. I needed a Skatepark basher I can't keep using my grandson's vorteks 4x4 3s. Thanks mate great video 👍🦘😁🤣🤣.
Awesome!!
Received my Terminator today. It's freaking awesome. Love it, best car I have so far. Control is smooth. It is built like a $500 truck. I recommend the aluminum model, the carbon model is sweet, but it's $50 that could be spent on a couple batteries for it as opposed to a bigger motor geared down to match the speed of the aluminum so you're not gaining speed. Love the Traxxas cars, but I would recommend this over just about anything out there for anyone getting into it and for those that want a full hobby grade truck without the 1/9 size. The response is instant, so theres no lag or cogging and the remote is pretty nice.
I agree man! It’s a super well built truck!
Great comparison video! I haven't driven the Rlaarlo, but just from the video you can tell the difference in handling. And the suspension test was a huge difference too! As always, well done!
Thanks! It’s clear in the video, but they have a pretty different feel while driving too. They nailed it!
How do you think the Terminator would hold up to some 2.8" tires? @DerbyCityRC do you have the itch/curiosity to try some proline badlands?
I don't like the Chinese cars creeping above the $200 price point, but great video. I particularly like when you do the comparison videos like this. Can't wait to see the mods that are upcoming and the comparison of modified versions.
I hear ya, but I like the option to have a good China car. If it’s made good, I don’t care where it comes from. I would say for its size, the $200-$250 price is pretty topped out though lol Much higher and might as well shell out for a 3s Arrma. In other words, I definitely see your point lol

AT LAST! I've been over here in St.Albans England, waiting for your next vid.
I can understand you must have time issues,what with the little people in your life(who are fantastic,by the way),and those bloody aliens getting in everywhere,but I have to say your content is worth waiting for. I like my RC reviews to be entertaining, informative,and fun....
That's you Buddy...Cheers.
Thanks man!! I shoot for a video a week, but comparisons take much longer to make lol
I’m pretty sure my kids are part of the alien clan so that doesn’t help either.
Thanks so much dude and super glad you’re enjoying the channel!!
The Alien dude cracks me up 😅🤣😂 Man the Rlarrlo drives like the ARRMA Big Rock. The way it handles from the look of it.
🤣🤣 Ya that alien just shows up from time to time. Such a nuisance!
It handles beautifully! 😃😃
The Rlaarlo sounds like a badass looks like a badass all the way around. Looks top quality.👍
It is! I like it a lot!!
It’s awesome get an actually tuff and fast rc for low price now. anything hobby grade at 200$ was not fast or durable surely not both. Awesome small ramp too. Love it. I want one of these smaller scale rockets but each one of ur vids i see the one i want more now. Lol. Looks too fun.
There’s alot of great choices!!
Hey man,
I absolutely love your channel. You are the reason my son and I have 5 Hbx cars today and absolutely love them. Also ordered the rlaarlo. I'm curious how the big upgrade tyres you have on your 2995 would do on the terminator. What do you think? Worth a try? Maybe you could test that. I also have them on my 2996a and they are really awesome.
Keep up the good work, dude. 👌🏻
Awesome man, thanks! I think you’ll love the terminator!
I may try those tires, but probably will need to do the motor upgrade first, which is in the plans!
Thanks again!!
Hey,
thanks for your reply. So you think the small motor won't handle the tyres well? You only plan upgrading the motor or also the ESC? Whatever you do with the terminator... Upload a video about it please! 😎 And try those awesome wheels. 👍🏻
Great vid, as always! In your opinion, what would be the best shocks, etc. upgrade for the 2997A to get it more on par with the Rlaarlo’s suspension? Thanks!
Thanks! I’m not sure yet. I’ve tried these, amzn.to/3PlR6wr and they’re great but the fluid is too thick. Thinning it down would probably make them almost perfect. I’m probably gonna try the rlaarlo terminator shocks on it soon honestly. Lol
I’d love to see the HBX 2997A with the larger tires. Another great review and a great video…
Yup I’ll be working on that!
Thanks!
Have you tried different oil in the shocks the hbx 2996/7 come with? I put 70wt in the 2997a, but didn't make as much difference as I thought. I might try 2500 diff fluid, or a mix of the two
I haven’t tried yet but I plan to. You might be onto something with that 2500.
I got my Rlaarlo Terminator in today, first run on it was great, it can run over everything and keep going, love it!!
It is great!! Glad you love it!!
Top notch video skillz! Always entertaining and informative. Awesomeness. Is that a word?
Thanks bro!!
That’s absolutely a word!! 😃😃
I use it all the time!!
I sure love my 1/16 HBX trucks! Would be sick to have either one of these!
Awesome comparison man! Being there makes a difference. Both are amazing machines! It was awesome seeing my crawler and desert truck on here!
Yes both awesome!!
Ya man it was fun!!
How would you feel the way it drives and handles between the rlaarlo vs the TEAM ASSO MT10? And speed wise? You think it would be comparable in the suspension too?
They drive and handle pretty similarly really.
Rival wins on speed and size. Suspension pretty comparable I’d say, maybe even tipped towards the rlaarlo in suspension especially being that it’s super tunable.
Great entertainment as always, Evan! Bit of a bummer with the HBX, lots of issues, I guess the Terminator didn't get terminated as I thought this time...
I'm looking forward to spring, maybe finally sometime maybe get my version of the HBX out for a run...
Yes the terminator was victorious and stayed in mostly one piece!
Thanks man!!
Great comparison Evan! I agree with you, both of these trucks are really amazing at their price points. Choosing the better between the two I’m sure was tough, but from what I can tell, your end call was the right one. Rlaarlo wins this one by the slimmest of margins! I’ve some videos where the metal chassis Rlaarlo got slightly faster speeds. Same with the 2997a. Both are winners in their own right! Enjoy the rest of your weekend buddy!👊🏼😎👍🏻
Thanks Robby!
Rlaarlo knocked this out of the park! Cant wait for the ultra-Terminator!
I made that up but hopefully a larger version soon!
another awesome comparison man! The HBX punches hard for what it is! But i'm sticking with this brand, guess i'm starting my Rlaarlo collection lmao.
Thanks! Ya dude the rlaarlo wins this. Excellent truck and can’t wait for their next releases!
Great vid. When they announced the Omni, I wondered how it would compare to the 2997. Now I know.
A ton of people asked about this comparison so here it is 🤣
I of course wondered myself!!
Rlaarlo certainly done a great job on that truck and those softer tyres and suspension setup makes its handling better than the hbx 👍, but it can be done to the hbx too and i realy like them both, great informative video thanx bro 👌
I agree!!
great video buddy, thank you! Very detailed and good comparison. I Have the HBX 2997A, can't wait for you upgrades video on this one!
Thanks man!!
Ya me too!! Got a few other awesome vids in the works first.
Excellent Review you do a really good job helping people decide. Thank you
Thanks man and you’re welcome!
Love it. Can't wait for my carbon to come. HBX is still top notch for budget cars, but Rlaarlo just set a new bar!
As always, thanks for the videos. Such a major help with purchases.
Yes rlaarlo did an amazing job!
Super glad I can help man, thanks!!
I bought the redcat ridge rock crawler maxx is playing with for my 14-year-old son. Now I'm waiting on the redcat Ridge Runner for myself not much into crawling but he likes it so I'm trying to get into it for him
Cool!
That’s actually not Max, it’s my friends son. But ya the Ridge Rock was cool. I actually really like crawling and hope to find a good spot. Have a crawler video coming up in probably two vids from now lol
always the best videos bro! wish i could control in the air like you
Thanks man! It’s just practice. Takes time and a lot of broken cars lol
Finally took out my new 2997a today The body cracked on the first flip, which is a bit silly, and the rear shocks are pretty slappy, so prob underfilled or underweight. Otherwise, digging it.
Yup definitely have glass like bodies, which stinks. In the video you saw this morning, I used these shocks for that HyperGo build and put 80wt fluid in them. Could try that!
My Rlaarlo sucks big time, and I only had it for a couple of months and didn't put it through your testing which is excellent well make video probably the best review video out there kudos. If I had to by my Omni over again I wouldn't its fast but runs crooked the motor shuts of when it feels like it and parts have fallen off of it anyway thanks for you video's I enjoy all of them you gots talent thats for sure, cheers.
I’m sorry to hear about your Omni 🤕.
Are you gonna fix it up? Sounds like something must have been defective.
I appreciate the comments on my videos. Thanks man!
Hey,
after tuning my 2996a on 3S i need definitely a wheelie bar! Do you have an idea for me which one would fit? Thank you very much and kind regards from germany! ✌🏻
I saw a post mentioning modifying the wheelie bar from a 903a to fit. Havent tried but seems like it could work and I will be trying! 🤘🤘
Thanks for doing the suggestion!
It was a good one!
I couldn’t help but notice you have the mjx hyper go tires on that hbx 16889 in the background. How did they work on there and are they smaller than the tires from the 903?
So that’s my HBX Frankenstein build. It’s a hybrid of a few different HBX cars basically making it a 1/14 scale but has the width of a 1/12 scale. Built it almost a year ago if you never saw that, but I’m working on a video giving it more power and a better servo (hopefully). I think they’re slightly taller than the 903 wheels. So far I like it but haven’t been able to run them much yet.
The Frankenstein build was awesome. I have a stock 16889 with the 903 tires on it. It wants to flip backwards way too quick for my son to handle. Any chance u can measure the height of the MJX wheel u have on there? The 903 is 3.77 in. tall. The MJX look shorter than that. Thanks
for 200€ you can built a bigger and more powerful rc car, maybe not as durable, but which you can bash. there is the vrx racing cobra chassis kit, the remohobby hq727 chassis kit (exactly like atraxxas slash), the hsp brontosaurus kit, the zdracing dbx10 rtr (for 220€)
There’s absolutely some great build options out there 👍👍
Great video! I am looking to get into the hobby. What would you recommend as a first truck? I am considering the omni terminator, arrma granite and rival mt10. What do you think would be the best all around experience? Or would you recommend another truck?
All of those are great options. The Omni is almost a perfect truck for its class, and the other two you mentioned are pretty awesome as well. Granite would be the biggest and the fastest, then the rival, then the Omni. The granite can be turned down to 50% power while you learn if you need it, and the other two can be turned down to almost a crawl. The HBX in this video is still a great option, especially being its only $165 with the coupon on Amazon, but it would be my least favorite out of all the options you mentioned. If you haven’t seen it, I actually have a comparison video between the rival and the granite from about a year ago that would help if you haven’t seen it. Here it is: czcams.com/video/iCBEA0wPSLo/video.htmlsi=hgVg9ScqNCyuIMU9
The Terminator is new, and Rlaarlo is slow in shipping them out, I've ordered one 3 weeks ago and just got an email that it's shipped, will probably be a couple more weeks. You have been warned!
Yes they’re a newer company, maybe 2 years now. The Omni is awesome and while the shipping times are pretty standard for getting goods from China, they overpromised which is the main issue lol. It’s worth the wait if that’s the size and class of truck you want.
What's you ultimate dream truck? Buy the blue Arrma Gorgon for $139 and a couple Amazon 2s 5000 + or - mah batteries for $20- $25. Learn to drive by trying to break the Gorgon. (You can't) All that time save money for your dream truck. If you get bored with the Gorgon get a Amazon 3s esc/ motor combo and a dumbo rc tx/rx combo and upgrade it until rest of money is saved. It'll ultimately be easier to buy your dream/ most expensive rig first. You'll spend more working your way up than just jumping in with both feet. After you've dropped a grand or more on a truck is easier to spend $500 on another. There will be more, lol
Other than 3s is there much difference between the 2996a and the 2997a? Would it make more sense to upgrade the esc to run 3s on the 2996a. Seems I remember some dude on CZcams tried 3s in the 2996a and it didn't go so great. 😂
Guess I should have mentioned I have the 2996a
Who was it that tried 3s on the 2996a? 🤣🤣🤣 oh ya…
So yes that should work perfectly. Same motor, just do yourself a favor and get a 60 amp. A good 45 would work but 60 would be better!
Had my first real break on the hbx not sure which diff is bad yet working on it now
I think I have still never broken one on any of those but it definitely happens!
Easy fix woohoo!
This is an excellent comparison and I appreciate all the details you covered. Watch out for those trees.
Thanks man! Ya that tree is an RC magnet!! lol
Ive got the am-d12 and i like it a lot. The Terminator is very tempting but man..those gears sound ROUGH.. still a good sub 200 car though. If i had an excuse to get one..like you, who will profit from the purchase, then of course.. keeping my current fleet going is hard enough.. without adding the Terminator..which requires its own parts, which most likely are not fully compatible with 12 scale
The AM-D12 is a good car too but doesn’t quite compare. They really did good on this one. The gears don’t sound bad at all. Could be the way the camera picks it up? Loud yes because they’re metal but very smooth.
Is it possible to turn down the power on it? Cause I'm thinking of getting either this or an Arrma Gorgon for my 7 year old. What do you guys think. Gorgon is about 40 dollars cheaper than alu terminator.
Yes the terminator can be turned down to practically a crawl. The 2997a cannot. I don’t have a Gorgon. It looks cool, but I believe my style would lead me towards wanting the terminator over the Gorgon.
Cool to see you bring out the JJRC q130a still rocking my q130a but im about tired of it. The front knuckles are a massive weak point on it. Im trying to find a once piece set of front knuckles for it may just take the motor and ESC out and put it in my sons brushed truck and get my self some better.
That was actually my friend’s brushed q130, but we love ours! In fact, the ONLY thing we’ve ever broken on it with tons of abuse is one of the front knuckles. Did you know there are metal ones available for it?
Oh and all the wheels lol. Those stock wheels were garbage 🤣
@DerbyCityRC yea mine came with metal front knuckles. But the ball joint keep ripping put of the knuckle
@ECGxSilvernexon dang. Hmmm. I haven’t had that happen yet. Maybe when you get a new one, put some super glue on the threads first and tighten it back up real fast. Not too much or it will stop you from being able to tighten all the way. Those ball joints unscrew with an allen key if I remember right.
So i just realized today that the oil filled shocks i bought for my q130a didn't come with oil in them.
@@DerbyCityRC
Hey Evan, psyched for the next video to come out, whatever it may be. I just bought and then traded a Redcat Rampage XT two-stroke 1/5th scale truck that was literally brand new. I got the truck so cheap for what it was, had a terrible time starting and tuning it, it never worked for more than 3 mins so I traded with a guy for an Outcast 6S which is what I wanted all along and couldn't afford. Anyhow, I noticed that Redcat put out a brand new 1/5th Electric called the Vigilante. I haven't been the biggest Redcat fan but this one might be worth a look and so I am asking (begging) that you review this one for us. I think the 1/5 scale would be such a cool shake up from your regular stuff and this one is red hot new. I would really love to see how it holds up to your technics. Thanks!!
Thanks!
I’d like to review it too, but not sure I’ll be able to just yet. Finances are a bit tight at the moment.
I'm going to build a 3d printed car (robak2.2). I like the design because it uses the drive train of hsp cars (they are pretty cheap (6bucks for a diff for example)). Printing small gears just wont last long. From the video's I have seen it very durable.
3d printing is a great asset for our hobby, I already design and print parts when stock parts fail. The material TPU is very flexible but when used with 100% infill it becomes strong and indestructible.
I plan to get into 3D printing eventually. Would certainly be helpful!
seminar comparison! i thought that you would flip the tyres between these cars..
Thanks! Probably will, but not for this comparison. This video ended up being long enough lol
Put the battery under both layers of strap. Should stop the battery from coming out.
I will try this!
Amazing comparison!
I think I would give it to the Rlaarlo too based on your review but isn't there a pretty big price difference? The HBX typically goes for $165 and at times $150 but what price is the Rlaarlo typically at ($200)? Granted, a 3s LIPO and charger would add say $30 if you went with a 3s USB charger for the HBX. I am not sure what kind of charger the Rlaarlo comes with? But it seems that Rlaarlo is just much more substantial so it is worth a premium... hmmm, if my numbers above are right it seems the Rlaarlo is at least as good of a value if not better.
I have my HBX up to 60 mph on the stock LIPOs (in series) and the stock motor on a 120A ESC. I would love to see you slap a 120A ESC in both and see how they handle 4s power compared to each other!
Thanks man! Ya that rlaarlo is currently $200 making it, in my opinion, a similar or better value like you said. Actually I forgot to mention, the rlaarlo doesn’t come with a charger at all lol. So weird.
I don’t know if I’ll go 4s, but a high quality 3s system would be plenty!
Yes I’m going to watch your 60mph video just haven’t yet!
@@DerbyCityRC No worries, you may also enjoy the 65 mph one.... it was great until the motor ceased up and took at the pinion and spur gear!!!!! The inside of the motor was comical when I took it apart!
@BriansRCStuff lol I knew you messed it up lol. I think I saw the thumbnail or you posting about it. Literally was gonna watch it last night but I got this video done around 2AM 😂
I’ll be watching tonight for sure!! 😃
The whole series! Lol
@@DerbyCityRC thanks for the interest. I have a lot of videos to catch up with on your channel! I just haven’t been watching many RC videos… I spend so much time making content. It’s hard to keep up with all the good content out there!

Man I love your videos. 😂. You’re a funny dude. Hey for that body try painters mesh tape and shoe glue. Awesome video. I ordered the Rlaarlo yesterday.
Thanks!! 🤣
Yes I need to reinforce more bodies. I’ve done it a few times, but I don’t want to do it for a review because it can hide weaknesses. You’ll love the rlaarlo!!
Yea I’m looking forward to it for sure 👍🏻
Good old danchee ran it over I bought that the ridge rock cuz I had to have the upgraded brother then they have to come out with a combo of both for the steering options and metal upgrades
My esc burned out playing in snow on my 2997a. Motor seemed fine but i swapped it with a 3650 4300kv motor and 45a esc due to bullet connectors being different sizes.
Ya seems like “splash proof” is all it’s good for. Definitely not a good esc to get too wet 😢 this car takes upgrades very well! You like it with your new combo?
@@DerbyCityRC Its faster then stock but a little less wheel pop on a flatout takeoff. Still 3S and tons of fun
Yeah here it is like you said lol. Guess i missed this upload. Great comparison and answered all my questions 🍻🍻
Click that notification bell for my channel! 😄
Super glad this helped!! 😃

How do you install the speed gear
I show it in my actual Omni review video. It’s in there if you haven’t seen it. Not really instructional, but it may help.
czcams.com/video/1rPEqOk0n74/video.htmlsi=CSv_bAs_j0TrrK-U
Great video bro!! I just got ready to pull the trigger on the HBX. Everything they got is pretty good. Where is Derby City?
go for the blackzon turbo 1/12. Exactly the same as the hbx but 160eur and hpi parts support.
No, don’t do that lol. Not yet!
That Smyter is based off the HbX 903, not the 2997. They’re quite different and no center differential. Not as durable. I’m trying to look out for when they do have a version of this though.
Thanks! Yes HBX has some of the best cheap cars!
Derby City is a nickname for Louisville Kentucky.
Heyy very good videos!!
What about a comparison between the Omni Terminator and Granite??
Thanks! Possibly one day, but I’ll likely wait til rlaarlo comes out with a bigger terminator 😃
Definitely gotta go with Rlaarlo on this one 🔥
Oh ya it’s the clear winner here!
Hello, always good videos with good advice for affordable rc
You are a fan of rc with 3 differentials, a fan of the fc610, the HBX 2996a, the mt10, now the terminator
If I understand correctly the terminator is now the best compromise, but is the mt10 still worth adding a ticket to have the top?
I am a fan of center diffs! Yes the MT10 is still an incredible choice!
Thank you for the answer @DerbyCityRC
I didn't want to miss the "launch promotion" on the Terminator so I ordered the Carbon yesterday, it still makes a lot of difference with the mt10
I know this is probably a funny question but could I run a li-lion battery in the Rlaarlo Terminator?
I would think so, but I don’t want to say for sure.
This is a great rc comparison video👏
Thanks!
Incrível a suspensão e força do Rlaarlo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🚀🚀🚀🚀 porém não vi muita segurança p compra ou posso estar enganado?

Would love to see you review the newer rlaarlo brushless monster truck that looks kraton ish. I bought one thinking it was the omni lol and love it very happy mistake 😂
Haha, nice! Lol
So I reviewed the older version of that truck. The brushed one. It’s probably close to two years old. Here it is if you want to see it: czcams.com/video/Yud3FHJpua8/video.htmlsi=EtW_-nwVmXNVWvjr
Not really sure if there are other differences or not.
The Rlaarlo Terminator win hands down.!!!💯💯😎😎💪🏿💪🏿🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yup! Its awesome!! 😃
Ok... that was a gentle nudge towards the Rlarrlo. Still can't decide lol... may just have to get both
That’s my type of answer 🤣🤣
It really is close, but the rlaarlo wind slightly on almost every category.
“wind” 😂😂😂
🤣🤣
Great vid man! I need to try that new HBX asap!
Thanks man! Ya it’s a good one. Similar to the 2996a but setup slightly different and 3s capable!
They're both awesome but I think I like the rlaarlo just a little bit more. I think the suspension is just a little bit better.😊
Agree with this, I do!
Hosim Power, Hosim Speed, Hosim Tough ,Hosim Fun !!!
😃😃🤣
Excellent video dude
Thanks bro!!
How tall and big are the Omni Terminator Shocks? I want to out them on my MjX H14BM
Not sure of the exact measurement right now, but almost definitely too tall for the H14BM. Just uploaded a video yesterday putting them on that HBX 2997a and it lifts it way up. I don’t think the control arms or axles will be able to take that angle. If you widen your H14BM like I did, then you could lol
@@DerbyCityRC What upgrades shocks shouldI use for the MJX H14BM? I will do a lot of jumping off ramps.
@feverexplosion1968 shocks alone I have not tried any. The arms on that truck just don’t have much sway in them. Too short.
The best thing I ever did to mine was this: czcams.com/video/HE4qzl-nBao/video.htmlsi=Yy5yacmoXgaFlMih
It’s a bit involved, but it may even just give you an idea of what might help.
Does anyone know how the parts availability is with Rlaarlo ?
Besides being in China and needing to wait for shipping times, availability hasn’t been an issue for me. Same story for the HBX. I believe some of the parts are also available on Amazon for Rlaarlo, as well as HBX.
I would like to share my story . I ordered this cf version and paid for 3-5 day shipping . 2 weeks later , no car but an email from rlaarlo asking for another $50 on top of the $259 for shipping saying my address is in a remote area . I’m totally not in a remote area living in a suburb of Ohio . This whole ordeal has been bs and after watching so many vids of issues with the cars I can’t say I feel confident enough to keep going with this let alone pay more . I cancelled and will go with an arrma granite or vorteks . Man , what a crock of 💩. Has this happened to anyone else ? I can guarantee I’m not in a remote area . What a bummer but I’m kind of glad since there’s a lot of issues with these
Thanks for sharing. I’ve heard of other people saying that same thing about the “remote area.” That makes no sense and is definitely disappointing being inside the US.
I think the amount of problems we are seeing is probably due to the fact that people are already upset about the bad shipping process and sharing it more often, but hard to say for sure. I see “issues” in the Arrma pages a lot too, but I definitely understand your concerns and Rlaarlo needs to make some major changes next time around. They have disappointed a ton of their customers. 🥺
They seem to be atleast trying to respond to everyone now, and most likely the extra shipping charge didn’t turn out how they meant it to. I’d do the same thing as you. It’s an awesome car for $200-$250, but that extra shipping charge puts it near the same price as a 3s Arrma and is so the same thing you did. Sorry about your experience, man! Have you decided between your Arrma choices yet?
Its only apples to apples at the Rlaarlo pre sale price. Excellent video as always!
I agree, but I’m hoping it stays at that price. Lol.
Thanks!!
@@DerbyCityRC If they can make a profit at the current price HBX needs to drop theirs. The 2997 definitely is cheaper to make, like you said simplier.
Well they have actually had a $35 coupon on Amazon for the hbx for like 3 months lol went even cheaper for a few days. It’s definitely worth those prices I think, but the Rlaarlo is still a better car.
Has anyone received any updates on the whereabouts of their Omni order?
They’ve recently said there has been some maritime issues, but still expect them to arrive soon. They’ve been shipped out already.
That Rlaarlo has to be one of the best handling RC's of this price / size... #waitingondelivery
It really is!! I know man, can’t wait for everyone to get them!!
Please,can you give me the dimensions of the Omni-Terminator's battery tray(or the 3s stock battery)? Thanks in advance and keep up the good work,ciao
The battery it comes with is about 105mm long by 34mm wide. It’s 23 mm tall but there’s room for plenty more height. 👍👍
Rlaarlo was $240 shipped with no ship date in sight, HBX 2997a was $165 delivered in under a week to Hawaii. $75 difference, and the cheaper one is actually available.
Yes. Shipping from China definitely takes longer and they fumbled the preorder process pretty badly. But both should be available on Amazon now or soon so hopefully that won’t be an issue. Some places don’t have access to this HBX model at all or shipping is very high.
To your point, that quick shipping is definitely valuable!
@@DerbyCityRC been playing with the 2997a for a week, tons of fun and plenty fast for me with the 2s, just wish it had more room for a longer lasting battery.
Got a deerc 9206e for my 4 year old as well, my 11 year old niece promptly sent it down a storm drain after using it for 5 minutes (and being warned about the storm drain lol 🤦♂️)
@jimbob9086 yes the battery is the biggest complaint for most HBXs lol
Dang! Is it long gone or any way to fish it out? Lol
@@DerbyCityRCit gone 😂 😢
It rained a bunch that night anyway so it would been drenched and ruined
😆😢😢😢 that stinks lol
Don’t let that happen to the other car!! Lol
Did you build or buy that ramp? I’m having a tough time finding one to buy that affordable and portable…
This ramp is available to buy. I specifically chose this one because it’s one of the cheapest I could find for being 4ft wide plus it’s adjustable and foldable. Still not cheap though.

@@DerbyCityRC I guess how many ramps can a company sell? They have to price it to make something…at least it’s made in NA! Thanks for the help buddy! BTW…my 7 y/o Alex LOVES your channel!
@hovan2yourjunk yup I own a business myself, so I get it. I think this dude designs and makes them himself so it’s gotta be worth it for him!
Thanks man and tell Alex I say hi!
@@DerbyCityRC Me too. All things considered…the price actually seems reasonable. All the best!
@hovan2yourjunk I agree.
Thanks bro you too!
I’m waiting on my carbon terminator. It’s taking so long I bought a WLtoys 124008. Awesome buggy, get one for review 😁
I think they just started shipping woohoo!
It’s cool but I’m just not a WL toys fan lol
@@DerbyCityRC I urge you to try it. I don’t do wltoys either and i feel they have been over taken by HBX/Haibox, but I challenge any buggy to drive this well and be this durable at 12th scale. Also 2200 3s lasted 34-40 mins of being spanked hard. I have been thinking about upgrades for it, but quite frankly I would be wasting time and money, it’s that good out of the box.
My 2997a acts up sometimes and have no throttle when first turn on unless swtich remote switch over and back with steering reverse and throttle reverse. Kinda bugging me.
That’s weird and definitely frustrating. Has it always done it?
@@DerbyCityRC no just started doing that.
2:48 we don't allow sheeping on my sheep farm, so no prize for me, even If I'd won 🤣😅🤪
🤣🤣
Tough call I’ll probably with with the HBX if I had to pick
Oh ya? What makes you choose the HBX?
another awesome video bro... i just edited my kagama vid wait til you see it lol
Why can I not find 2997a anywhere in ali or banggood?
Looking to buy something new, Terminator would be my first choice but with taxes and all it would be something like double the price as is it... 2998a... The one in banggood 😮
For some reason they haven’t made it available anywhere else.
The 2996a is definitely still a decent option. Could always swap the esc to make it 3s capable.
@@DerbyCityRC Still want that central deifferential tough 😞
Like how it looks and the price compared to the Terminator. Since I would have to pay VAT and taxes for Terminator it would be quite expensive. Still thinking about getting the rolling chassie and get a cheap esc/motor combo.
Got my first MJX yesterday btw, really impressed 👍
But a car with a little more clearance would be awesome and the handling and craftsmanship of Terminator looks fantastic.
The 2996a does have the center differential also!😃
The mix is pretty sweet. I’ve got a really cool mod video for that coming up in a week or two!
That Rlaarlo is FAR superior… period! In every way except looking cheap… the HBX has that covered.
The hbx is still a good car, but yes the rlaarlo is superior. Actually this car had the bar set in this class (imo), until now!! I love when the bar gets raised!!
Por que não tem este modelo disponível na Bangood e ou Ali
I’m not sure why the HBX isn’t. It’s only available on Amazon for now.
The Rlaarlo is only available on their own website and Amazon as well.
I bought carbon-fiber terminator, can't wait to receive it!
Cool man! It’s one of a kind!
sweet! they ripppp.
can you get a Redcat ascent next for a budget crawler reveiw
Thanks!
Possibly, I’ve got 4 FMS budget crawlers I’m reviewing currently 😃
All that’s left now is how the Rlaarlo compares to the Granite
Granite wins against the rlaarlo except for ground handling lol
Hey man did you try those bigger tires on the HBX yet?
I have not yet. Hoping to get to that soon lol
I'd like to see you put bigger tires on the omni as well.
@peteralbury7724 I’m sure I will 😃
Hpi savage xs comparison would be a true test
I might try that. The savage needs a few upgrades to make it enjoyable for me lol
@@DerbyCityRC if you do I'll definitely buy raffle tickets to win the Savage 👍
Ok ok, it’s time for the Rlaarlo to go against the Hpi Savage XS!
Haha, we will see! 😃
Im gonna Get the Rlaarlo Terminator. :D
Good choice! 😃
Great vid man!
Thanks bro!!
Rlaarlo Omni-Terminator seems to handle FAR better like WOW !!!!
Yup!
