I put a 17 tooth pinion on mine also and I think that the tooth spacing is just a tad different between the stock gear and a MOD1 gear that I put in it, mine is fairly loud as well. I also didn't like how loose the suspension was so I put 70 weight shock oil in the shocks and it still flexes great put seems much more planted and doesn't rock side to side as bad. I had no screws that are rusty and I have no complaints on how it performs. I did do the steering mod as well, much better steering throw.

Mate, I have the carbon fibre AK787 as well as the carbon fibre Omni Terminator (both great cars), and was just about to drop the hammer on an MK-07, until I saw your video. I think I'll give it a miss for now. Appreciate the heads-up.

Great review!! I expects some these thing to be present as it is cheaply made to get to the price point. We can’t have SCX6 expectations for under half the price imo but it should not have all that noise and and stuff out the box. I bet there’s zero grease I that gearbox. Love your videos brother! I got the green one too!!!! Rlaarlo should definitely replace the parts.

Thanks for that review, good to see before buying

Bummer it has so many issues it really looked like it would of been a great crawler. I really was looking to get one now idk.

I'm mixed on this. Part of me likes the fancy, flashy options and think it's a great value. The other part of me paid $1200 for a SCX6 without all that stuff but it hasn't missed a beat in a year now. Realistically you can't expect premium quality at bargain prices. I've always heard you can have cheap or good. Not both. I still think this rig is a decent deal with a lot of potential. I'm not gonna get to excited over a few issues in the first run batch. People are paying $700 for a Traxxas truck with a plastic geared servo and horrible suspension.

$500 is a lot of money for a fancy light kit . I made a comment about the quality of this rig on rc review KZfaq channel and he almost got offended.

We are very sorry about your disappointing experience. 😢 We have reviewed your video and forwarded it to our engineering, support, and factory teams, so we can collectively address the issues and make improvements. We are happy to send you replacement parts for the rusty ones. Our engineers have found that your gear is broken after use, but we still need to check other positions so we can fix it perfectly. Our support team is waiting for your reply to our email.🙌

After watching this, I will be tearing mine down before doing any runtime

Any further updates from your conversation with Rlaarlo?? I see their comment/ your response below but I'm super curious to see if they replaced any (or all) of the truck for you? You're completely right, there are too many other Tubers making videos of them throwing OP systems in there and this truck handling it just fine... Sucks to say but I'm really hoping you just got a melon and they send you a new one!

What a let down! “I don’t see any broken teeeet…aahhhh” 😂

Mine does not roll with the power off either, I think its the way the transmission is and the big motor.

PS: I have a spare diff set if u need it😊

Just got brand new from Amazon Omni terminator and although truck drives ok first time, center drive shaft is bent and wobbles from center diff to front diff? How is that possible? Wheels wobble like center punched hole for mount axle to go through is too wide not snug fit so tires wobble when spinning and weird not loud light grinding noise.. diffs so far seem ok, maybe vibration from bent center shaft.. front shocks absorb and re center, rear shocks go down but not re center. No leaks from diffs or shocks yet, battery connector on first connect made spark pop sound when plugged into esc.. thought sumthin shorted… If they send me new warranty part asap I’ll be happy I gUEss for since truck cost 233 bucks out the door. Also they don’t even put the stickers on body any more.. ugh….

Kind of concerning. I have three more on the way.

I JUST SUBBED YOUR CHANNEL IM NOW WORRIED I HAVE ONE ON THE WAY

That gearbox is wayyy to loud and probably rusty

I ordered in first batch and mine hasn’t arrived, did yours just randomly show up?

i think the company should replace the whole unit , get it back and study and learn from it, it's a recent product, it can have issues, and obviously there is much wrong in that particular unit from the start. what would be good too is an honest feedback from them after they reviewed it.

I have one of these in coming, now I wish I had of waited till non influencers had them in hand! I hope I didn't just throw a bunch of cash out the window🤬

any news from rlaarlo ?

CHINESE RCS SUCK! YOU GET WHAT YOU'VE PAID FOR! And a lot of people don't think about the fact that you're not going to be able to find spare parts after a year... learned my lesson long time ago... I have about 40 trucks in my collection, and after buying all the popular US brands, also tried a few of the chinese ones... and they all sucked. Same problem with the aftermarket updrades... I spent $300 on a set of GRC axles, which I think are very cool, but within a year all the spare parts for those have been discontinued, and the manufacturer doesn't give a shit... To all those who bought the MK-07 (were fooled by fancy lights - superficial), good luck finding spare parts next year, or in 5 years... A lot of my models are over 15 years old, and I take comfort in that fact that I can still find spare parts today - not that they break easily, they're nearly indistructible (Traxxas). I bought a Traction Hobby T300, which is the best looking truck I've ever seen... but under the body is the same garbage as this one... and that's appaling considering the brand has been on the market for over 10 years... their website sucks and you can't find spare parts anywhere... By comparison, Rlaarlo put some effort in and made a decent website, with spare-parts featured, but I doubt you'll be able to find those in a few years... Personally, when I spend more than $400 on a RC, I expect it to last me 10 years (serviceablity wise, being able to find and change parts every year). I abused a TRX4 for years, over 3000h, and only broke 2 portal gears on it, and disintegrated a transmission bearing (worn 7 titan motors - due to mud/sand, and burned 20 average servos - using it as a submersible every single time)... I love the TRX, and bought 4 more. Anyway... I was expecting this to suck when I first saw the fancy promo video, and a few reviews later, my suspicions were confirmed. I feel sorry for those who'll be fooled by it... not realising they're limited in terms of aftermarket upgrades, tires, wheels, bodies... and will have a hard time finding spares in the long run. Just buy a TRX-4... or SCX10, Element... and if you can't afford an SCX6 yet, just save up because it'll worth it.... by that time maybe Traxxas will release their 1/7 crawler, and will be infinitely better than Axial's.

I have mixed feelings about this company. It's not a well known name like traxxas,hpi, team associated, etc. etc. The price is comparable to well known hobby grade rc's but the quality just doesn't seem to be that great.

That thing should have a flood title, lol. Actually none of this is funny. You got a rusty, not built well flood truck! You can complain but good luck
