    I bought the Omni-Terminator Carbon Fiber and it quickly became my favorite RC for a quick bash on road or off. All the components seem high quality, in 3 weeks of bashing I've only replaced the wheelie bar screws. BTW the Carbon fiber Edition has a stronger body, the Metal Edition has a PVC body and the Carbon one has a PC body. I reinforced mine and it has held up so far.

    As some other people have commented, the company itself isn't great. IF you decide to buy it get it from Amazon or another middleman company, that way you have some form of protection. My experience their warranty or anything they say isn't worth the paper it's written on. I'd be very careful with this company. Great looking rc from a shady company, it's a shame.
  • @FarmerFpv
    Mine lasted 3 weeks before the cheap bearings, CVDs, & dog bones bent and diffs exploded, just like the Rlaarlo Dessert buggy. They are great with first impressions then it all goes downhill, especially for a basher. I have better luck with the MJX Hyper Go vehicles. Have better luck with longevity with them. I would also save you money and get the Team Associated Rival MT10. It's bigger and tougher. and not much more for a proven platform. Rlarrlo also has a habit of blaming the customer for their own defects. They have a good marketing team because 30 reviews come out simultaneously from the same channels. lol

    Rlaarlo are killing it with their releases. I have the same version. CF version does have a lexan body however. I Loved it as you did. Great vid 👍🏼
  • @joeymendoza3859
    Like others have mentioned, the carbon fiber version has the better more durable body. It also comes with spiral cut gears compared to the aluminum that has regular diff gears. Great video as always, as soon as I got the notification for this I had to watch it!
  • @Nerm78
    I have been bashing mine for a few weeks now and all I have done so far was bent a shock screw but like you said easy fix and the bend was my fault. I have the cf version and with a bigger battery and higher speed gear I was able to get 46...not bad for a small basher! Great review and video!
  • @RC-Closer1313
    You must put shock stand offs on it… and the wheelie bar screws need a bigger better screw. I drilled mine out and used bigger steel screws. I’m going to order an upgraded wheelie bar as soon as I can. I get 44 mph on the speed pinion (carbon fiber edition) and it’s on rails with the gyro on 30%

    Nice review, Greg! I have had my Omni Terminator Carbon for about a week now, and I really like it. The build quality is impressive, and it is super fun to bash. I never would have considered a Rlaarlo product in the past, but I happened to watch some reviews from other YouTube channels when it first came out, and I came away very impressed. I held off on getting one until I could order from Amazon since I had heard Rlaarlo customer service isn't great. The only thing that surprised me when I first tried it out is that it does traction roll pretty easily on high grip surfaces. I hadn't seen that mentioned anywhere. But other than that, I really like the truck. I hope the long-term durability and parts availability are there. I'll definitely be keeping a closer eye on their new releases.
  • @traxxasfans
    Great video nice to see you go round the track
  • @lyricofwise6894
    Good mention about the body, now Im gonna shoe goo and dry wall tape it when I get mines
  • @BigKidsRC
    Cool little truck another really good review Greg !!👊
  • @Competitionx
    New company, yes, but I think they're doing a good job including alot of stuff in the box that people might need. Plus, they cars work pretty good! Nice vid buddy!
  • @morganyoung2302
    Agree on body issues—lost a piece of the rear on day 1. Would love some body options or compatible bodies that could be adapted. Great truck otherwise! 😎
  • @jaceSHO
    I have the Carbon version. I love it. One thing about the size saying 1/10 LOL - They are coming out with a 1/7 scale crawler too which I imagine should be really closer a real 1/10 size.
  • @gillian9178
    The green body is only pvc, the black body a polycarbonate, the shock stand off bolts need replacing with tougher 12.9 hex Allen bolts. Common failure is the stock stand off bolts breaking or bending.
  • @MrDavee1
    Great cars. Shitty business practices... I had one experience with them, which was more than enough.
  • @Casitascrawlers
    I have the Carbon version I never even used the stock battery I’ve been using batteries with a higher cell count & it’ll wheelie but overall it’s been fun to drive & although I haven’t had it on any bigger jumps the smaller ones so far have shown it has jumping skills.
  • @boduke9428
    I'd recommend the cf roller and a cheap 4s capable 10BL Hobbywing combo with a Dumbo tx/rx. The truck is great, suspension is awesome but the electronics are undersized for 3s.
