A/C?

Autonomous Control?

A/C?

Autonomous Control?

I believe so - "follow" mode and voice commands.

[WRM]

I'll be ordering the Silver Brushless tomorrow morning when they go on sale - definitely seems worth the upgrade for the steel gears. And, 6S?!!!

 

[9x19]

I look forward to your report on it!

 

[Chubaka]

You had me until voice control. Guess my times limited on buying new rcs if this is the direction we're going.

I still don't understand self-driving cars.
Why the hell would I want a self-driving R/C?
If you don't want to drive, don't buy the damn thing!

That aside, it is pretty cool...

 

[WRM]

You don't have to use the autonomous controls and believe the "follow" function requires purchase of an additional "transmitter" (that you keep on your person), but we'll find out because I ordered the Black Brushless today when they finally went live. $99 air ship from China, expected in 7-10 days.

Pics and thoughts when it's in my hands....

AI integrated toy trucks are the start of the downfall of humanity!!

And I can’t wait to see it in action!

 

[jjbigfly]

WAIT UP! Did I see that it avoids "obstacles"? Is this a NON- crawler?
I do like it though...

 

[CertifiedMike]

Is this a NON- crawler?

 

[RudyF6]

Is this a NON- crawler?

Like a dog that won't go out in the rain - point it at a rock and it will just hunker down and slowly back away....

I liked getting an update E-mail from RLAARLO but didn't like that I was in the "To" line (vs. "BCC") along with 43 others!!!!

Dear Valued Customer,




I’m Andy Rlaarlo, the Customer Success Manager at Rlaarlo.

First of all, we would like to sincerely thank you for your trust and support in choosing our Mercedes-Benz Unimog U4000. We deeply appreciate your trust, which continuously drives our commitment to delivering exceptional models.




I am writing to provide a personal update regarding your order. Due to the complex craftsmanship of this model and our rigorous quality control standards, your unit is currently undergoing final multi-stage inspections. We are taking the necessary time to ensure every detail meets our highest standards before it reaches your hands.




This meticulous process, combined with our production scheduling, has delayed our shipping timeline. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this extended wait may cause.




As a token of our appreciation for your patience, and to apologize for the delay, we will be including a complimentary set of hydraulic shock absorbers with your shipment.




We have confirmed that final shipping will commence on June 22. Please be assured that all orders will be dispatched strictly in the sequence they were placed.

I really love my Rlaarlo products but I think they need to slow down a bit to avoid issues like this and their rushed release of not-quite-ready for final sale XTS-S10 cars to YouTube reviewers.

I currently have three parts orders not yet shipped at Rlaarlo, one of which is from May 11.

Here's the latest on the Unimog, at least he had me on "BCC" so he didn't "share" everyone's E-mail addresses this time!...

Dear Customer,

I’m Andy, Customer Success Manager at RLAARLO.

First of all, I would like to sincerely and deeply apologize for the delay in the Unimog shipments.

During our recent quality inspection process, we identified issues in a randomly sampled batch that did not meet our standards. After careful internal review, we made the difficult decision to scrap the affected batch and restart production, as we do not want any unit delivered to you unless it fully meets our quality expectations.

We fully understand how frustrating and disappointing this delay may be, and we take full responsibility for the situation.

As a result, the updated estimated shipping schedule has been adjusted to early July.

To express our sincere apology and appreciation for your patience and understanding, we will also include a 5000mAh 3S battery as a complimentary gift with your order.

We know this does not fully make up for the delay, but please be assured that our decision is guided by one principle only: we would rather delay delivery than compromise on quality.

Thank you for your trust, patience, and continued support. We truly value every Unimog customer and remain fully committed to delivering a product that meets—and exceeds—your expectations.



Best regards,
Andy
Customer Success Manager
RLAARLO

Delays s@ck!!!

I hope the battery is a decent one.

At least they are contacting ppl. Some effort made to show gratitude to loyal customers.

That goes a long way with me. How about you?

Are you still ok with waiting out the order?

 

[Ritz413]

I have a strong dislike for waiting ...delays mean extra waiting ...discounts/some money back help with my patience for waiting.

I guess the free battery helps? I doubt I'll try to cancel and get a refund, as they've already charged my CC and I paid the CC bill this morning.

I do hope it's worth the wait!

Thanks,
