Rlaarlo XDX First Impressions Are In!
I'm still waiting on tracking for my own Rlaarlo XDX, but the first batch of trackside unboxings and running videos just hit YouTube. Here is what drivers and reviewers are seeing out of the box.
Like a lot of you, I have an order in for the new Rlaarlo XDX and I'm currently waiting on shipping updates for mine to land. While waiting for the box to show up so I can tear into it on the bench and get it on track, I've been watching and ingesting every first impression, unboxing, and shakedown clip hitting YouTube. There's real curiosity about whether a ready-to-run drift car with this level of scale detail can actually hold angle against dedicated kits, so here are the standout initial impressions from around the community worth checking out.
