1/10 Car Gets 1/5 Power, Attempts Speed Run

Rlaarlo had their challenges this year with shipping and so the AK-917 lost its shine for some. But the CF roller in particular is just FANTASTIC. I paid full price at the start of May and it only arrived mid July, but oh boy, was this car worth the wait!

So, now its time for Rlaarlo's 2023 Speed Run! How fast can we go with sub-optimal parts? One way to find out! We need 80MPH for round 1, and then to beat everyone else in our second round to get to finals. We likely need 150MPH+

Here's a sneak peek at what I've been up to this past hectic week since my parts arrived!
(And Rlaarlo are now on top of shipping times, they tell me. I've just tested this with another order. Will report back in a future video).

This is Part 1:    • 1/10 Car Gets 1/5 Power, Attempts Spe...   (Prep)
Next is Part 2:    • I Try for 160mph+ on a Goat Track   (1st Day)
Finally, Part 3:    • Speed Runs Are EASY (Trust Me I'm a Pro)   (2nd Day)
