I bought the Cheapest Traxxas 'on road' RC Car in the UK and put it up against one of the cheapest Chinese branded RC Car's you can buy, the Rlaarlo AK-917.

I’ve had several traxxas hot rods. Never broke em. They handle well. Super easy to change to brushless if ya want. Of the two rlaarlo I’ve had so far - both had multiple issues. If we’re talking about sale prices - I just got two traxxas hot rods for $300 new. Rlaarlo isn’t that cheap when it isn’t running a sale. Heck it’s barely that cheap ON sale ha.

I even bought a fast lane rc trike to try my skill on making hobby grade...bit i just found Redcat has a rc trike just like it already hobby grade rtr. So i think it will be less money to buy that bc i already paid 40.00 for the toysrus rc trike and knowing it will require all new electronics plus the crazy things id have to do to overcome the toy grade engineering...i reckon ill throw it in gutter or ebay and buy the redcat rc trike 4 a bill.

Hi, Vermont USA here and I'm a big fan. Thanks for you no BS reviews. This comparison is especially great for me because I was on the edge of buying the Rlaarlo but decided to take advantage of the Traxxas sale of 2 of these Traxxas Hot Rods for $299.99. So glad I did. I put the power from an Arrma 3s I had upgraded into the Traxxas Hot Rod and its like magic. Tons of fun. BTW, I own 6 Rlaarlo/Amoril vehicles.

It was an interesting and fair comparison. I was surprised that the Rlaarlo wasn't faster. I anticipated that it would be closer to 30 mph. I have Traxxas cars and trucks and their basic transmitter is terrible. The hot rod is basically a 4-Tec and it weighs a lot. When considering price right now in the U.S. you can buy two hot rods for $300, which is good deal in my opinion. I like this format where you take two cars and compare them side-by-side. I am looking forward to future comparisons.

I dislike having to rely on the trim on the controller to make the vehicle go straight. I much prefer the adjustability that the Rlarlo provides. This is a tough one for me though as I really appreciate how readily available replacement parts are for the Traxxas 4-tec is. I suppose, you could always buy the adjustable links for tye Traxxas, but then again the Rlarlo comes with a better transmitter. Suffice it to say, I'm a bit split on this one...

That was a very considered, honest comparison between the 2 cars. Out of the 2, I might be more inclined to get the Traxxas, purely because of the looks and parts availability. The Rlaarlo seems to be more aimed at speed runs, and the Traxxas at just messing about in car parks. Nice video, and thanks for the laughs when you realised the GPS was in the other car!! 😆👍🏻

Enjoyed the comparison video. Just a few points I'd like to make - I wonder if the Traxxas would be quicker using their own brand lipo or even nimh battery? Also, an important thing to me is the durability factor. Which one of these cars will still be running in six or twelve months time? I totally agree the 'larlo is better VFM out of the box but will it still be going without any issues in a few months time? That's not to say that the Traxxas wouldn't develop any problems, of course! All things being equal I would go with the Traxxas. It's just a shame that here in the UK they're so expensive.

I think the higher expectations are normal for things that cost a lot more money? Unfortunately because Traxxas is so highly priced for everything & really not that much better than it’s competitors. Traxxas kinda deserves the hate from a lot of the disappointed people they create. There’s a reason they can afford a team of lawyers to issue all those cease & assist letters so fast (another reason to hate that company.). If Traxxas stoped paying & worrying so much about legal nonsense? They could afford to make their pricing more competitive. Then invest & understand the importance of P.R. With the Hobby community, would make them unstoppable? They’d be way bigger then they even are today. So I totally get anyone who is a little harder on their products in any review. Thanks for sharing Phil. 👊

The thing for me, they both look cool, but, most of my hobby shops have never even heard of rlaarlo, much less would have any replacement parts if something broke. But every single hobby shop I’ve ever been to has traxxas, and always have anything you need for them on hand. And at least in my experience, traxxas parts are pretty cheap compared to some of these other manufacturers. At any rate Phil, I loved the video, and although I personally prefer traxxas, I was really digging on that rlaarlo. It is pretty awesome.

I would say, that's extremely compelling. You and a friend could go halfsies and get each car for $150 ... I think that deal claims back one point on your competition. -- Also, I've yet to see a Traxxas sale ... not turn into the normal price in the future.

Nice comparison video, however I would would debate if alloy (specially chinesium) parts are better than quality plastic - if you have a fat crash (let's face it, when bashing hard it is not a matter of if but when), the plastic parts will bend and if to the breaking point - only the weakest part fails. If alloy part is hit hard it will twist/break, and the next weak part will follow, dealing way more interior damage. Also metal chassis tend to bend during failed jumps. Just my 2 cents.

If you became Project Farm, but for RC. I'd bet your channel would grow even more. It'd be really cool to see similar products at similar prices being compared. You'd have to purposely break parts with tools and have measuring devices, which would be quite a time consuming investment for you.

Not a traxxas fan in the slightest but I just can't bring myself to invest a couple hundred quid in a chinese model with no real uk spares support which will be long forgotten about 3 years from now while people can still get parts for their 15 year old traxxas.

That rlarlo looks awesome and seems like a great car I’d love to have, but the chances of me seeing that in my local hobby shop here in the states are slim to none! And as you mentioned the slow china shipping really puts a damper on the fun for me. Traxxas stuff here in the states also seems a bit more affordable overall than what you all pay in the UK.

On the back of the Traxxas box, in fine print, it actually does say with high speed, gearing, and 3S battery It also stated in the manual, but I would take the other car any day 🙏

The real problem with the factory five traxxas cars is almost 0 parts support. It's so bad you have to go a fishing exciting to find the parts on their website. Good luck getting the parts at your hobby shop. Sure they can order them in but you can too, and straight to the house at that. So sweet that Traxxas abandoned those cars.

I started r/c with shopping at my local store and they had only traxxas, team associated and duratrax. Traxass had almost every part available on the shelf so it wasn't much option. Going online is killing the store in my area. Still trying to support my store which has Traxxas and Arma, Traxxas still has the upper hand with more spare parts and upgrdes.

Bet none of Rlaarlo cars last as well as my slash 4x4 which i got 2014 young me put it through hell with not lubricating bearings and running it through water, washed it once with a dishwasher and it still runs pretty damn well the electronics are original and survived a few dives into rivers even tho the receiver got wet. I have no bad things to say about traxxas.

Tipp: I wouldnt reccomend using batteries from factories you dont know to be trustworthy. Just get some or a big one rightaway. (Most batteries included in Sets that i bought arent that good, usually they dont last as long and have limited power output.)

The hot rods are on sale right now for 300 euros or less, and the Rlaarlo is 220+tax+shipping. Taking into account parts support... not sure the Rlaarlo is worth it. Also, the name. That name takes 10% of value off immediately.

Can't help myself, but why did i have to think about Mr Talbot's comparison Video about the Infractions? Quote: "This one is a lot cheaper than the other one(s), so obviously it's gonna be worse. The question is, how much worse..." The funny thing here is, that obviously the cheaper one will be extremely better and not worse!😂😂😂
