 Welcome to what is to be something of a mass unboxing of several products from Arctic Cooling, well Arctic Hobby, Arctic Hobby, 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 had 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 neat 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 flip 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. All right. 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 chrome rim looking thingamabob are going on here. There's your power. Powered by 100 billion AA batteries. Okay. Actually, not 100 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 this show. There you go. So it works like that. Uh oh, you better make sure you put that back in carefully because all of those seem to have to go back into the... There we go. Okay. So that's the controller that comes with any one of these 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 truggy. And I think what they mean is truck slash 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 row. 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 truggy or, you know, truck buggy, whatever you want to call it. We also have the T01 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 as, 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 the weight is on it. These wheels compress a little bit. So this is an on-road sort of race car-y type thing. Shockwise... Oh yeah, 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 heat sink on the motor. There's your crystal. So you can actually change out the crystals not only in the car 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. Just not to say that all of them are like that. Pretty good on the back. There is your battery here. The 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 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. Pretty neat. 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. All of this stuff looks pretty darn similar. There's your on switch. Okay. But look at how built the shocks are on this guy. So you've got a lot of give there. Basically tires are like beast. Lots of traction. All that good stuff. You got your front grill. You got your back grill. 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 interchangeable. 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 and first look at the Land Rider car series from Arctic Hobby. Don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech Tips for more unboxings, reviews and other computer videos. So it's breakfast time and trying out the Land Rider's 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 309 out there. So I've got it in my backyard. I am actually super impressed with the performance of this thing. So for one thing, the throttle is not just on off. It's whatever the word is for that. You can adjust all the trims on the controller. The whole setup process takes only a couple of minutes. Your wheels are not just straight on off too, 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 gusto. You can see that my lawn is very uneven. 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 as well. I can go over the rocks in the middle. Can you see? Here we go. Can get a fair bit of speed going. It can obviously go faster if you bring it out onto the concrete. You can see it speeds up quite a bit on the concrete. But yeah, the off-road RC vehicles when I was a kid certainly did not handle off-road... 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.
