Just a few weeks in the past we had been shipped Rlaarlo’s XTS-S10 4WD Brushless RTR Rally Automobile to see what we considered it. The XTS-S10 is a tenth scaled rally automotive that has a practical physique, to go together with its potent brushless energy system. Is the XTS-S10 simple to drive? Does it maintain as much as onerous bashing? Learn on for all the good things…

What’s In The Field: Contained in the field you get the automotive, full sized radio, LiPo battery, charger, house owners guide, and a few mild instruments to work on the automotive with.
Construct High quality: The construct high quality seemed good after we cracked open the field. The shocks had been nicely constructed and never leaking, the diffs labored nicely, the physique seemed immaculate, and the radio and ESC had been all able to go.
Check Drivers: Nicely, we had myself, our resident professional driver T-$$$, Iron Mikeee, plus we had the RC Child readily available to assist out.
Check Venues: We ran the brand new Rlaarlo at two totally different parks. Our climate has not been good the final month, so we principally face chilly, moist situations wherever we ran.
Set-up Notes: Like at all times, we ran the Rlaarlo bone inventory, principally. We used the included 3S battery pack, however used a tried and true Hitec battery charger on it, plus we tried to scale back the journey top a bit by decreasing pre-load on the shocks.
Turning: Total, the XTS-S10 turned rather well. We felt prefer it turned greatest on packed dust, the place it simply appeared dialed out of the field. The automotive at all times tended to have a whole lot of steering, however on packed dust, it simply felt good. On packed dust, the Rlaarlo had simply the correct amount of turn-in at nook entry, then we felt like we might drift all of it day after smashing the throttle on the nook apex. It additionally comes with a gyro to assist on slick surfaces, however we solely tried it for a bit bit because the automotive felt actually good with out it. On pavement the automotive nonetheless had quantity of turn-in at nook entry, however it wasn’t as planted because it felt on dust. Additionally of be aware, we hardly ever obtained the automotive to traction roll, regardless of it’s comparatively excessive journey top, which was very nice. This allowed us to actually drive the automotive like we stole it, with out a lot concern of getting to make a protracted stroll to proper the automotive after a traction roll. Does it nook completely? No, however it corners rather well, and that’s bone inventory. And don’t neglect, the XTS-S10 is very adjustable, so you possibly can dial it in to no matter floor or situations you’re driving on.
Leaping: Because the XTS-S10 is a legit rally automotive, after all we needed to send-it a number of occasions on jumps. The three differential drivetrain made the Rlaarlo very easy to maintain stage within the air, and we felt prefer it tended to leap pretty flat and straight. Now, as it’s a rally automotive, it doesn’t have a bunch of suspension journey like a monster truck would, however for a rally automotive, it is perhaps the perfect jumper that we’ve examined.
Bumps/Whoops: Out of the field, the XTS-S10 sits pretty excessive. The inventory suspension is ready up that means as a result of it’s a rally automotive supposed for each off, and on-road driving. That additional suspension journey and taller journey top allowed our check automotive to actually blast by means of the tough sections. At average speeds the automotive would deal with bumps exceptionally nicely for a rally automotive, and when pushed to absolutely the restrict, it will maintain its personal till issues obtained too gnarly. When taken previous its restrict within the tough, the automotive would both have the rear finish step out, or the entrance would dig in. Total, the XTS-S10 rocked within the tough stuff for a rally automotive.
On-Street: The comparatively tall journey top and softness of the suspension for off-road did make it attention-grabbing to drive WFO on pavement. Whereas it hardly ever traction rolled, it did have a good bit of chassis roll which saved the nook speeds cheap. Sure, it’s actually enjoyable to drive on-road, particularly when pounding the gasoline at a nook apex and simply letting the 3S brushless system eat. Drifting is pretty simple on pavement, and much more so, whenever you dial the gyro in.
Grass: In shorter grass the XTS-S10 had zero issues getting round. In actual fact, it turned out to be a whole lot of enjoyable driving in grass. The ability system simply saved pumping out large energy and the inventory tires did their greatest to place it to the bottom. If the one space you need to drive is grass, if it’s saved pretty brief, you’ll love the XTS-S10.
Tires: Ya, so what about these inventory tires? We had been large followers truly. They’re created from pretty delicate rubber and the inventory tread labored decently on all kinds of surfaces. They give the impression of being good, they carried out good, not unhealthy for a RTR.
Energy: So about that 3,300kV brushless energy system- it labored nicely for us. It felt just like the inventory gearing was proper within the ballpark, we didn’t really feel any cogging or something bizarre whereas driving it. All we appeared to get was fixed unrelenting energy. Should you punch it from a useless cease, all 4 tires will immediately begin throwing roost, and we by no means felt like we wanted extra energy throughout our check interval. The automotive tops out at 34 mph on the included battery and it will get there quick.
Radio: Oh sure, thanks Rlaarlo for the total sized transmitter that labored nicely for us throughout out testing. We just about didn’t even discover it in any respect, which is an efficient signal.
Damaged Elements: Did I point out simply how unhealthy our climate has been? Throughout our check interval, the warmest day we had was 50 levels Fahrenheit, with our coldest check day being 22 levels. All you very long time hobbyists know that chilly temps equal damaged components, however that’s not what we noticed with the Rlaarlo. Initially we took it very easy because the temps had been so chilly, however on the finish of the evaluation we simply drove it like we stole it. The top consequence? The Rlaarlo held up like a real basher, it simply saved on going. We by no means needed to cease and repair one thing small, or large, it simply saved going. We needed to take the automotive to the intense stage to bust it, with a 30 mph slam to a curb lastly taking out a entrance c-hub. If you’re apprehensive that the Rlaarlo is just a few low-cost automotive that gained’t maintain up, that’s not what we noticed throughout out testing. Positive, you possibly can break any automotive should you ship it onerous sufficient, however for regular bashing, we had zero points.
Misc Notes:
The automotive comes inventory with 4mm thick aluminum shock towers. They give the impression of being lovely and by no means bent throughout out evaluation.
The XTS-S10 comes with a hidden physique clip system that labored high-quality for us. As we saved sending the automotive. cinching up with the physique grew to become a bit more durable, however the system at all times labored.
The automotive has a whole lot of bump steer up entrance. We didn’t discover it a lot whereas driving, however you hardcore guys who may race it, most likely will.
Entrance toe-in is well adjusted by way of turnbuckles, however the camber, not a lot.
That aluminum chassis and motor mount? Oh sure, additionally very strong and labored completely.
How about that large mild system? We actually favored it. The lights had been kinda like a cherry on prime as they added realism and bling issue.
Abstract: If you’re in search of an inexpensive, scorching trying rally automotive for bashing, the Rlaarlo XTS-S10 labored rather well for our bash crew.
