Why Do RC Car Manufacturers always Lie about the Top Speed? Team Corally Radix 6 

Just to clear up the 'speed claim' thing.... I love the Radix, it's an awesome buggy, and I'm using it as an example, but my statement is based on 'Most' Manufacturers' not directly pointing the finger at TC ;)

im so jealous of that runway!

to fair to the x01 comes with everything in the box to do 100mph

You crack me up RC cars so much fun I've had a RC track at every place I've lived since mid to late 90s awesome channel

Speaking for my self, I think as a consumer I would rather have the true “out of the box speed” printed on the box and maybe a small notation somewhere on the box showing what capable speeds can be attained if you change this and this and this and this...If we are all aware of their deceiving trickery when it comes to speed claims then why can’t they just be honest and print what it really does out of the box! Some people enjoy the hobby and don’t mod and just enjoy stock. They deserve to know the honest capable speed, as well as the enthusiasts who does do mods and tinkering deserves to know what it’s capable speeds are with stock motor and esc. Am I asking for too much!🤪 great video Phil!

Pretty impressive buggy, Tomley! 😃 Fantastic runs there!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Definitely agree with those points brought out finally been working on my project car a custom cncd machine drift car been busy am a under water welder so not much time for hobbys love your videos be well Sir

This is the spot I need!

Great vid man, some of the worst offenders for outright fibs are C ratings on a lot of batteries.

It might not be what they claim Phil , but I’m still impressed by it looks like a fun buggy to run with enough speed to get you into trouble. Good job on the video.

Great run! My ZD tc8 could only muster a 48mph on 6s on stock tires with one blowing on a 23t pinion. I lowered to 20t pinion. The big 4076 motors have a delicate balance of pinion and motor ramp up. Interesting smaller tires got you there. Big low Kv motors need high c rate and amps. Great runs.

Love the way the corally sounds.

She's a beastly machine that for sure! thanks for sharing 👍

Yea I noticed that as well. Mostly Traxxas does that. But Not arrma. Talion 6s, typhon 6s, Senton 3s, typhon 3s, kraton 6s, infraction, Felony.. They all achieve the advertised speed stock (with speed pinion)

That's awesome mate very nice run 👍 Never the less it's a awesome buggy for sure i definitely would like it 😆😁

It looks like a Le mans prototype with the aftermarket wheels and tires, awesome 👍👍

Love the Traxxas voodoo incantation! The other thing that annoys me is the fact that so many rc cars come with tyres that arent capable of the speeds the car is!

New sub, that crack at trx made me lol haha

@Tomley RC great vid as always!! How do you think the build quality ( for bashing ) compare to the Arrma Typhon ? Cheers 👍✌

I think u should get two or three camera tripods and set them at different points and heights on the track when doing speed runs , remember we the viewers enjoy being entertained, I enjoy your content.

Love it buddy tell it like it is , I hate these wizard of oz scarecrow speed claims ,should come with a warning as when box seals broken you are no longer in Kansas Dorthy

I have gotten 63 mph with a 6s battery with a bone stock everything, regular pinion with the Typhoon.

At least it's just a pinion needed and not an optional motor etc! Has that tyre proper had it or can it be reglued?

Love the videos, very nice runs. So jealous of that runway, such a perfect speed run location.

How should I gear a model car im making into a drift type car or a drag car? I'm using an scx24 motor if that matters. Also RGT Adventurer Axles if that matters either.

+10c lucky! We are getting Sheighlas' brush in St. John's. (late march snowstorm) Do you think this platform would do a rally conversion?

Spin round 4 times then turn the transmitter on 😭🤣😂

So much to be said about different size objects appearing faster or slower. When I was young I would race against my friends Blackfoot with my Midnight Pumpkin with me winning at the finish line. His reply was that my 1/12 scale appeared faster because it was smaller and I was like ooooooooh kaaaay.

Hi Tomley, great channel & vids. Please you post some links to those GRP slicks? I bought a Radix after wathcing this.

my stock Traxxas is spot on its speed at 60 mph

Arrma don't. Just put the speed pinion in. Got 69 mph from my Typhon V5 on a cold day. I ruined the tread with one battery though. 🙂 Shame the stock Radix 6 tyre's didn't hold up. I love the look of the Radix 6. You should give Team Corally Hardcase 4500 mah 6s lipos a go they are excellent!

We're do you get grp's in the uk?

What was that at the end!?.... nice one mate! 🍻from🇨🇦

Good test. GRP’s?

Very nice spot to stretch it out

Good stuff great runway. Where do you get your Grp's from

First off, love the channel, big supporter! I’ve had 2 typhon 6s’s, it looks like a toy grade in the video compared to the typhon. But, I haven’t seen it in person. May look solid. Ide like to see comparison video. I’m not sold on corally yet. I may get one eventually. Good job hitting 70!

My favourite car 🤩

WLtoys seems to provide truth in advertising. 35mph all day in the 124019

I love the runway, you have enough space to achieve the RC’s top speed. And yeah i agree, why do they have to lie about the top speed, like my wltoys 12428, they put in the box 95+ kmh, but i got 30ish kmh only on my speed test. I mean cmon, most of the ones who will buy these rcs are grown ups, not kids who will say, “wow 95 kmh, sheet i wanna buy one”

U should try those 1/5 grps on the radix that's probably y the mojave was faster and try one of the bigger batteries..I got some lectron pros and the run time on my x maxx is crazy kind of off subject just thought maybe you could try them or maybe u have some

I do wonder what the Radix 6 would do with those larger Mojave wheels on...... ???

Dunno if just me but sounded like all the rpms were used in the recording of this . Higher kv motor would actually make it scream speed i think . Listen to how flat the sound is when it passes

GOOD SHOW BRUH !!

Too funny the tire blew. Even if you have to gear the vehicle up a bit to get to the advertised speed, you would expect the stock tires to at least hold up. Man, that little car at the end just screams!

cars aside, i can't get my head around you getting that lovely tarmac to yourself. You must have pulled strings galore to get clearance for it !!

There's a partly commercialised old airfield just 15 miles from me. I will make an effort to get permission to fly or drive RC stuff there this year.

I have the TC Punisher doing 86 mph with a 21 tooth pinion lol

I will always be calling it the Radish. As you were.

I'm good with 50mph!!!

Because they take their lead from real car manufacturers lying about MPG 🤣 Still looks a nice buggy 👍

I think the arrma Typhon is probably better as it goes to 70 mph out of the box

For starters putting on smaller wheels is going to dramatically decrease overall speed

Omg, you hit 90 with a wltoys? Wow!

ive seen a stock typhon with bigger pinion and a tire change do 100 so

would this be ok for my first rc? i’m 41

Hello could you please help me, I have HPS XSTR BUGGY MODEL NUMBER 94107 PRO. I am having problems getting a metal front shock tower, my one bent after just hitting a parked car wheel at about 12mph. Also I need a set of front wheels and tyres. I've tried Amazon from shock tower 4weeks ago they said they sent it but I never got ?? So they are given me a refund. Many thanks Alan, PS I am new to R/C CARS , after many years.

It’s either the gearing is too low or the motor Kv is too low

Thats some bullshit that the stock tires cant handle the speed they put on the box. I bet they claim those tires can handle that speed but they clearly do not.

I miss you playing the rockcrawler computer game 😦

Why does it take 6s to do the same speed as a rustler 3s. Looks awesome though

This or the arrma typhon?

You're not supposed to measure it! You're supposed to accept it at face value! It does make an awesome sound passing by though!

Yeaah! Nice lies!! Have a great day Bro! Nice test.

Plain and simple, it's a sales gimmick. Every company on the planet does it in some way, shape or form.

*nice car speed*

Nice buggy

because the 1:1 scale car Manufacturerrerereerererrs do it too.

probably to get consumer attention :D

They do it to get more money.

Arrma doesn't lie about their top speeds. Usually all that's required is a swap to the included pinion.

We love the truth 🫡💯🔥.

Hi

I think you already know the answer to your question. Lol

hello new friend RC 🚂🚂🙏😍

Wheels to small for 50 mph

Not sure your title matches the content... 🤔 Box says 70mph and you hit 70mph, so I don't see the "lie". Only thing I wish TC would do is include the speed pinion as do ARRMA. And I do remember on my very first Kraton review the truck came with a optional pinion included but you still had to buy another to reach the claimed speed. I mentioned that if any company was going to claim a speed on the box (to lure in buyers), then it should do that out of the box. From V2 onwards, speed pinions have been included in ARRMA cars and they reach or exceed the claimed speeds. In your case, you blew the tyre, but this was done after a bash video that may have damaged it and caused it blow during your run. Not just that, but I see the wheels are also muddy and that may have also unbalanced the wheels potentially causing the tyre to blow out. Had you done this test prior to bashing the car, I don't know if the same thing would've happened. Furthermore, you have changed tyres on a lot of cars to achieve certain speeds, including the Mojave in this video, yet I don't see you complaining about those changes. 🤔 With all that said, my tyres on the Radix6 blew out also during my bash video, so I'd more upset that in today's market RC car companies still can't use a decent glue on tyres, especially on fast cars like this. It's been an issue across various RC brands for years and very few have got it right. But to complain you had to use different tyres after you belted the car at you bash spot and had dirty and possibly damaged & unbalanced wheels as a result... I don't think you have much of a case there. 😏 Anyway, super jealous of your runway there and I'm surprised you're not using it to do massive 150mph passes with a Limitless or Infraction. Wish I had a runway like that near me. 😁

So lazy Phil. Them tyres off the Mojave would have fit 😂

Beasty animal, did it come unglued? Atb /Per Fb: Team corally bashers

Does 130 on 8s for sure

Wowww better than the typhon 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yo ski

Those street tires hampered the top speed. You effectively lowered the gear ratio. With the stock tires and a true 100c battery it will hit 69mph. Not CNHL or Ovonic, or power hobby. They are cheap lipos. They have very low C ratings. Cheap Chinese lipo companies over inflate their batteries amp rating. They are to blame for most RC cars not hitting their box speeds. Using Reedy or my MAX amps lipos almost every RC I have purchased hit their claimed speed. A good lipo will cost you $180 to $250

👍😎90 😀

Offcourse your buggy will run slower when you put smaller tires !

Hehe, like Jaguar did about their original E-type in 1961when they only achieved their claimed 😎😎😎 150mph 😎😎😎, using a somewhat altered car. (no bumpers and some body smoothing tape over door closures and other malarkey.) LoL! So cheeky claims are nowt new my dude! 😁

😁😁👍👍

Corally sicks in 1/10, all they can offer are lame 2wd monster trucks which main dufference is... motor and body. Brushed or Brushless. Kinda like, wtf... I expect them to release some damn decent 1/10 rc car, not some boring orange copy paste 3diff chassis. And why Manufactures lies about speed? Small ding dong complex? Just because it's FAST, doesn't mean it can steer with ease at higg speeds. And THAT should be selling point, durability, steering, not speed. The declared speed MUST BE ACHIEVABLE ON: *STOCK MOTOR, ESC and GEARING *STOCK TIRES, SERVO AND AERO SETUP This or they should simply gtfo with "speed resched in test conditions", my ass.

My 6s typhon mega eats radix for breakfast lunch and dinner Lmfao seriously soooook light evan with home made metal chassis protector

Typhoon is poo
