  • Today we take the Rlaarlo Omni Terminator and take do an ultimate upgrade to it. Will this make it the worlds best small RC basher? Is better than the 1/16 Traxxas VXL? Will it destroy all 1/10 scale Arrmas? Let's find out!

      Yeah it really is good. The only problem I have with it is landing big jumps it tends to bounce and flip over but to be fair it's not a very big truck and I'm not sure the suspension could ever be made to handle hitting the ground from 15 ft in the air.

    I usually skip straight to the drill and extractor set on stripped screws. Usually doing things the hardest way first saves time in the long run. What's the ballpark total on all those parts? Excluding electronics you have to be getting close to the original purchase price. As it sits you have a big brand 6s basher priced terminator. It sure looks good tho.

    Awesome video. My only complaints with mine are I wish Rlaarlo would make a better mounting option for relocating the ESC to run longer batteries. Zip tying it to the center brace just doesn’t seem very secure. Also the ability to tune the stock ESC would be nice. The brake force is way to high.

    • @DoRC
      @DoRC  Před měsícem +1

      Agreed. They wouldn't be too hard to design in 3D print something that would go on the rails and given that they include the ability to run longer batteries they definitely should have come up with something for the ESC. I'm honestly surprised they don't have an upgrade option for it.

      That I'm not sure. I haven't really done much experimentation with gearing on this truck. The best thing to do in most cases is just buy some gears and see what works best for you. You're bashing style will always affect what gearing is best so it works for one person might not work for another one anyway

    The spacers needed for the aluminum hubs are a cost saver for them and us. This design allows an easy way to adjust wheelbase using different spacers and washers.

    Mini blow torch works far better on thread locked screws, soldering iron just dosn't get the screws hot enough or heat penetrated deep enough. Especially on motor mount screws & diff mount screws, where some manufacturers go over the top on amount of thread lock used on screws. Also some factories use red or perminant thread locker, some even use ca glue instead of thread locker. Blow torch makes short work of undoing screws, obviously you have to be carefull of any plastic parts close to the area being heated.

    • @DoRC
      @DoRC  Před měsícem +2

      Maybe so but I've used both methods pretty extensively and I find that well the soldering iron method does take longer and you need a good iron in order for it to work in some cases it's still superior due to the fact that you really can't harm anything around it like you can with a torch.

But i also have a background in RMA electronics repair, and definitely noticed the difference between bad/good irons and lots of/little thermal mass on your workpiece. Thermal mass can be a beach. I'm a fan of the torch, where possible, because it's always powerful enough.

    The servo, the cvd and the ball bearing in the steering set are, in my opinion, the only upgrade needed. All that aluminium will notnimprove anything, high quality tough plastic is, in my opinion, a cheaper and better option than any metal. Also for a basher i would have loved an high torque servo saver, consideing the possible landing and the stress that servo will be througj. Still nice video!!

    • @DoRC

      I mostly agree. I even said as much at the end of the video:). A lot of these parts look good but especially on this car which is already so tough don't really add much.

    Can’t count how many bearing I have replaced in steering bell cranks. They do bushings cause they last longer with dirt and water VRs bearings. Not uncommon and more basher friendly. On big cars bearings are better being the size of them last longer.

    • @DoRC
      @DoRC  Před měsícem +2

      Maybe but you would think if that was the case then higher end bashers would use bushings instead of bearings. And my experience only cheap cars use bushings in the steering which leads me to believe it's a cost thing.
      Strangely I haven't really replaced any more bearings and steering than I have in anything else.

      It's usually happens when dirt gets in the pivot points and binds the suspension. Couple that with the really thick shock fluid and that might be your problem.

    Thanks for doing this, as nobody else, not even the company is doing this.
    The Omni is getting great love everywhere, but i'm missing one thing in this video: the car seems to have lots of wear (comparatively speaking) on the diffcups/outdrives. Lots of us were wondering how the full S2 dogbone+drivecups/CVD's and diffcups would perform in terms of wear. Obviously driving style is a factor, but it'd been really nice to see how the S2 driveline upgrade, which has to be near half or one-third the car's value, would hold up!
    I did notice you may have kept the standard diffcups in the rear, with the s2 dogbones, so you may be up to something already, i'm not sure :) Oh and thank you for just doing this channel for the love of it.

      I don't have a ton of packs through it yet but so far I haven't really noticed anywhere on the cups. I actually ended up leaving the stock front differential in because I only ended up getting one differential in my order. I guess we'll see how it goes long-term though.

    • @insanebmxthomas
      @insanebmxthomas Před měsícem +1

      @@DoRC ahh, okay! What i thought, is maybe you were testing the combination of S2 upgrades with standard parts. People have been saying their S2 diffcups are eating their standard dogbone's pins (shaving them off, not breaking) and the S2 dogbones are eating the standard diffcups jn the same fashion. Not many reports on the latter but in theory that makes sense; rlaarlo has stated that the comparative hardnesses of standard/S2 parts makes them incompatable with each other. They were comments on FB groups; they haven't released any actual statements afaik.
      What also makes it tough to get a good reading in those groups; not everyone mentions if stock/4s. But lots of complaints about the wear, just very little reports of how a pure S2 drivetrain on stock power performs in terms of wear.. I, for one, really wonder. It's a good sign already from what you did in the video, no wear is present. 👍

    • @DoRC
      @DoRC  Před měsícem +1

      @insanebmxthomas interesting because it seems like the pins are the same material on both the S2 and the standard dog bones. I'm probably not the best person to test long-term wear because I have several different vehicles I'm usually driving at any given time so none of them get a ton of use.

    • @insanebmxthomas
      @insanebmxthomas Před měsícem

      @DoRC i figured, but it would be telling if there was already some wear on your parts. Since you ran it on 4s from the start, i would argue that the upgrade S2 parts are probably stronger, although probably not wear-resistant. Which is normal, but until now excessive wear was the big issue according to the community :)

    Got the roller and a lot of the same upgrades. Using similar low profile servo on upgraded mount. That mount doesn’t work with 40 series motor, fyi. Motor too long so using kingval 3660 2600kv instead running on 4s.
    Ran into same problem with stripped 1.5 screw but on the pinion set screw. Stuck with the 27t pinion now and the motor runs HOT on 4s.
    Any advice on removing the pinion without a bearing puller? Tried a butane torch but I couldn’t break the thread lock I used. Tried your other tricks without luck. Worried the 27t is gonna blow it. Was at 170° after one pack.
    Also what double sided tape do you use? My esc won’t stay stuck with all the abuse. Think the heat caused the tape to release.
    Great video. Great basher. Btw the upgraded shock screws are a must. The stock ones bend at the offset.

    • @DoRC
      @DoRC  Před měsícem

      The two options I would try for the pinion would be to put the gear in a vise and try to use a punch to hammer the motor out from it or just drill out the grub screw. Either one is likely to damage the gear though so you might want to just buy a new gear. They're not terribly expensive.
      That being said 170 is warm but not dangerously hot.

    I have a question for you.. i noticed on my sledge the stock servo held the line leading up to the ramp much better than my 70kg brushless servo , i noticed while they are off rge stock servo is also much harder to turn than the brushless servo which is supposedly alot more powerful, so is this just how brushless servos are compared to simple digital or coreless servos ?

    • @DoRC
      @DoRC  Před měsícem

      If you're having problems with the new servo staying straight it's possible that It has a pretty large mechanical deadband which basically means that the servo horn doesn't always end up pointing in the same direction. You can test this by holding the truck still turning to the left noting where the wheels end up then turning the right and noting where the wheels end up. If it's two different places then there's definitely a problem. As far as ease to move by hand the higher end servos usually have higher quality gear trains in them which makes them easier to move. The highest quality servos can actually be moved by just grabbing the output with your hand and turning it. You'll never be able to do that with lower quality ones.
