welcome to what is to be something of a mass unboxing of several products from Arctic cooling well Arctic hobby Arctic convey sorry sorry sorry so we have okay we've got a few things let's get the quick ones out of the way really quick here so we have a charger for batteries okay we also have the controller that we have we have three of these controllers but I only felt it necessary to grab one of them for the sake of this unboxing so the controller allows you to control any one of these particular land riders okay so we've had a look at a few Arctic hobby products so far we have a look at their tank their fire engine as well as their boat and I'm sure there's one more right there was an excavator so so far the overall prevailing opinion from us and our viewers is that these are actually a surprisingly good value and kind of beat for the price so we've got a few more things to check out so here's the remote we haven't actually looked at this remote up close yet so fairly straightforward you've got your cardboard that is apparently too complicated for me ah staples that's what was going on okay let's look lip it over and I will use the knife to cut the incredibly thick zip tie that was deemed necessary by somebody to put on there take another crack at it there we go alright now the controller comes out so these controllers there's your throttle there's your other stuff it has multiple channels that are supported up to two channels so you can race oh that's kind of nice actually it's got like a foamy outside on the sort of chromey rim looking thingamabob or going on here here's your power powered by 100-billion double-a batteries okay actually not one hundred billion eight but those numbers are very similar okay and the functionality changes depending on what you're using ah this is interesting so this is the Crystal module so you'll use that to make sure that you're on the same frequency as whatever particular car that you are using so you can pop that whole thing out should you so desire although I really don't see the point but I'm going to do it anyway just because it's pointless doesn't mean I'm not going to do it on the show there you go so it works like that oh oh you better make sure you put that back in carefully because all of those seem to have to go back in there we go okay so that's the controller that comes with anyone who's given RC vehicles now let's have a look at the vehicles themselves so we have the land Rider 305 on Road racing car we have the land rider 307 off-road truck and we have the land rider 309 off-road truck II and I think what they mean is truck / buggy so let's get these all opened up I'm not actually going to do the unboxing for them so we can show you the features of them because it's going to take way too long to do three unboxings in a rebel so we've got them opened up now it was a bit of a headache to get all the antennas in and all that kind of stuff but we're pretty much done so we've got the land Rider 305 307 and 309 so this is the car the truck and the truck year you know truck buggy whatever you want to call it we also have the to1 digital transmitter now this can be used to control a number of different models and you can save different profiles in it it's actually got a fairly complicated menu structure but the documentation that comes with it sorry spells everything out like this in little diagram trees so you can follow along for whatever it is that you need to do you can adjust all kinds of neat stuff like exponential steering and reversing your channels and anything like that that you would want to do you use the crystal so we've installed the number two band crystal in the back this is an AM transmitter so this is the same crystal that came with all of these different trucks but if you wanted to race them you need to make sure that you have two separate crystals for the two vehicles that you want to race at the same time you know your friend or whoever else okay so let's talk a little bit about the various differences between these models so this guy has very very low clearance to the ground especially once once the weight is on it these wheels compress a little bit so this is an on-road sort of race car II type thing chalk wise uh oh yeah you go oh yeah yeah yeah slick wants me to mention that see how these posts have lots of different holes you can actually use those to raise it up a little bit if you want so I'll show you guys how easy that is to do removing the top plastic covers is also the way that you access the internals of the vehicle itself so there's the heatsink on the motor there's your crystal so you can actually change out the crystals not only in the car and the but also in the transmitter or not only in the transmitter but also in the car there's your on switch there's your front shocks fairly meager on this model but you guys will see on the other ones that's not to say that all of them are like that pretty good on the back there is your battery here a battery pack includes six cells so in order to charge it all you do is unplug it from here run it out from under the plastic cover or not under the plastic cover whatever else and you charge the battery up without actually removing it from the car at all you can see here is the receiver so we've only got a couple of different channels that we're using on that so basically throttle and then this guy right here seems actually fairly well built and just like the just like some of the other ones we've looked at like you can see it's got like real tires on it and all that kind of stuff it's pretty deep okay so let's go ahead and put that one aside for now so that's the on-road racing car next we have the off-road truck and this one is actually my personal favorite based on our limited experience with these vehicles so far because check this out this one just looks absolutely built inside looks like the same actual motor okay the same receiver same number of channels being used but all of this stuff looks pretty darn similar there's your on switch okay but look at how built the shocks are on this I so you've got a lot of give they're actually tires are like beasts lots of traction all that good stuff your front grille you got your back grille rear tires are just as built and what I like about the shocks on this guy is check this out they've got a lot of here there's a bit of a delay before they come up so they're very very cushiony even if it's bouncing around out there you're going to retain whatever traction you happen to need so that's I think that's pretty cool so there's that one and then finally we've got the truggy and this one is once again more built than the on-road car because it's meant for more like an off-road type scenario once again fairly similar internals but only one set of shocks and using a significantly wider spacing of spring so they're more bouncy and less cushiony so depending on the scenario you have this one is probably going to protect you from a fall a little bit better but not necessarily as good for keeping all the tires on the road at any given time because there's a little bit more bounce to it a little bit less stability going on there so they all use the same cells inside right here so the parts are very interchangeably you can see once you look at the internal guts they are very very similar in terms of the platforms that they're built on much like a Toyota versus a Lexus but it's just in the detailing where the differences really come out so thank you for checking out my unboxing your first look at the Land Rider car series from Arctic hobby don't forget to subscribe for his tech tips from unboxings reviews and other computer videos so it's breakfast time and trying out the land riders time this is the 309 right here so the one that we're actually going to be testing in the video here is the 307 they're all built on the same platform it's just varying shocks anyway right guys so there's the three own three oh shoot into that no sorry that's a 309 out there so I've got it in my backyard I am actually super impressed with the performance in this thing so for one thing the throttle is is not just on Offutt saw whatever the word is for that you can adjust all the trims on the controller the whole setup process takes only a couple minutes your wheels are not just the straight on/off - so you have a lot of granularity in terms of your steering control you can turn a little bit you can turn a lot okay so here we go check this out and this is not just the burst of energy it gets when you first power it on this has been going for about five minutes already and it's still got a fair amount of augusto you can see that my lawn is very uneven um but in spite of that it still performs admirably just climbing over everything here I'm going to head out into the other part of the yard it's a little sea I can go like over the rocks in the middle Jacy there we go can get a fair bit of speed going it can obviously go fast if you bring it out onto the concrete you can see it speeds up quite a bit on the concrete but yeah the the offroad I mean off-road RC vehicles when I was a kid certainly did not handle offroad did you lose it certainly did not handle off-road scenarios very well but it looks like that has changed so thank you for checking out this video of the performance and the unboxing I guess I'll just amend this to the end of the unboxing don't forget to subscribe
