if i was religious, i'd be praising the gospels of WLToys. i bought one of their first FPV drones back in 2014 or somethin crazy. and a boat before that. LCRacing should keep a closer eye on these folks.
I’ve had the brushed one for over a year and it’s great fun. My advice (applies to the brushless too) is don’t bother with the metal / cnc ‘upgraded’ parts. Just leave it alone, with perhaps the exception of the rear hinge pin / swing arm bracket. Yeah the shock towers might bend a bit after a tumble but they are cheap and easy to replace. Once you fit the stronger ones all you end up with if the plastic diff casing being ripped apart. So upgrade that to metal too? Nope! Because the metal diff casings are total junk. The bearings don’t fit snugly and the diff gears rattle around. the rear hinge pin bracket gets bent easily if the rear wheels take a hit then the pin falls out, so upgrading that is a good move and doesn’t seem to cause anything else to fail.
Many thanks for the detailed advice on this car 👍 👍 super impressed with it for the price, loving the WLtoys cars we have obtained, bang for their buck cant be beaten
Them WLtoys buggies are some nice little rigs. I have the brushed version of 3 of them converted 2 of them to brushles and enjoy them very much in smaller areas.
I’ve still yet to pull the trigger on one of these cheaper brushless rc’s. This one definitely takes a beating and for what you get you can’t go wrong. Disappointed in the range but that was hard to tell how fast away it was. For me biggest thing is part supply. I love being able to drive 15 minutes and buy parts for all of my RC’s. That wouldn’t be the case with this. Great bash session guys 👊👊👍👍
They are great little buggies for the price, parts supply would have to be via the mail though, but normally ebay has most of the parts in stock in the UK so dont have to go to China and wait.
@@HardcoreRC well that's great about eBay for sure. I never thought about eBay for parts for these cheaper RC cars but that should parts easier to get here as well. 👊👊👍👍
Thanks, we try to give any new car we get a fair but hard test, we like to bash hard so need to see what a car can take 😂 this little car certainly impressed us
@@HardcoreRC I only have 5 RCs as of right now. I have the WideMaxx V2,Rustler 2wd VXL,RedCat Volcano XTE Pro,RedCat Blackout XBE Pro and The WLToys 124017 V2. Wltoys V2 is my favorite one of them all. The second I pulled the throttle I was in love. Lol. Love watching your videos. Longtime subscriber. Would love if you subscribed to my channel. I’m about to be doing some run and bash videos soon. Your support really matters by subscribing. Thanks Hardcore RC💯💯💯💯
Hello, I'm from Russia, we don't have a video about this car on TH-cam. Do you know if it is possible to put electronics and a motor from it on wltoys 144001 and do you need to change the control panel?
Thanks - we tried our best to break it in a fair way, really though one jump off the big ramp it would be toast, but it just kept taking it - very impressed
40mph not bad for a little car out the box, ok its not the advertised 75kph, but not far short of cars like the Arrma 3s range and the Rival MT10 and for a little car its got all the speed it needs. Will try it on 3s once i find a lipo the right size 😂😂
@@HardcoreRC idk. John Robinson channel showed it right out of the box and it was slower than his stock brushed 124019. I forget the other channels names I saw. But on 3s it came to life.
@@DeRock401 I have no answer for that, maybe he was doing the speed runs after the beach / sand run so battery was almost flat, i know ours was with fully charged lipo as was Claire's, likely Tomley did with fully charged lipo as well and we all hit 40mph
@@HardcoreRC i put 150k in all of my 1:12 brushless and smaller, anywhere from 100k to 200k works perfect [REDACTED] always waffles about anything >75k is too thick and too much work on the electronics. I have lossa footage to get to that shows how much fun 150k is. I run all of them on 3S and have only had one go 💩 on me.
@@HardcoreRC for me the secret is a smaller size battery like 650mah - 850mah 3s drone batteries. they use xt30 connectors and they're form factor usually a little longer n fatter batteries than the ones in the box. the smaller cell size prevents me from running too long so that it doesnt overwork the electronics. TATU, HRB, & BETAFPV are really good drone battery brands.
Motor is too small, cogging is worse then the brushed version. All round NOT the best one they've made. Should of put a 3650 motor I'm not that poxy mess 😂
There is some slight cogging at start out, but once its rolling you dont notice it at all, not temp issues and hits the speed it really needs to bash well, guess like all things its price to performance, it took everything we could throw at it fairly, really though going off the big ramp would kill it, but nope just took it again and again 👍
@@HardcoreRC I've always said these cars can take a beating, yes quality isn't the same a LC racing. Yet no one treats LC the same as wltoys so that's says it all. You'll eventually burn that motor out I guarantee it but it's a quick swap for a 3650. I bend parts again and again it's super fun and CHEAP! Best part about it.

The little buggy’s really impressed me Sunday. Was the only one of mine to make it home not broken 😆
I was amazed it kept taking the big boys jump, really thought it would be one jump off that and dead. It lasted longer than the TLR 😂😂

I have to say I thought that thing was going to bite the dust a lot sooner I’m impressed how well it held up
We also though one jump off the big ramp it would be toast, i even said to Callum come on break it, and we couldn't. very impressed with what it took
I find putting the lipo under both parts of the strap works a little better ,rather than sandwiched between them
Thanks, will give that a try, might also try to remove that little notch and see if it will sit down better
If you put a hole (the size of the wire) in the body then have the antenna sticking out the range does improve. Good testing.
Ok thanks we will give that a go 👍
@@HardcoreRC just keep in mind that these have the three wire servo so it's really easy to swap out receivers on them out of the box.
Sure took a good beating. The side by side air time was the best part
Yeah, having them go double bubble was great
This reminds me that I must get my 144001 repaired. Great little cars!
Glad i reminded you 😂😂 they really have impressed us
Great budgets choice for first car! Great footage and that thing jumps pretty decent too!
Agreed, these are great little budget RC's and a great starting car
Them WLtoys buggies are some nice little rigs. I have the brushed version of 3 of them converted 2 of them to brushles and enjoy them very much in smaller areas.
This is our second one, and they have both impressed us, bang for your buck they really are good. Might make this into a speed run car, not sure yet
That thing took a beating Cool little buggy for sure I'd love to see it on 3S it would really be a beast then
Nice vid mate 🔥👍✌️
Thanks - will try to get it on 3s once i find the time to source a lipo the right size 😂
I have the wltoys 140001 that I made brushless and it is deffently a tank, lots of fun and a good little basher buggy
Very nice, yep these things are very good, especially for the price

@@Addicted_2RC Im the same, rarely look at ebay for parts, but most parts for all cars are sold on Ebay
What is the range on that thing?
And could you increase the range or no?
Range is about 150m - yes you can increase the range by putting a different receiver in
@@HardcoreRC Appreciate it 👍
Looks really good and definitely took a bashing. 👍 You definitely give them a good test! 😂
Thanks, we try to give any new car we get a fair but hard test, we like to bash hard so need to see what a car can take 😂 this little car certainly impressed us
These little things look like great cheap fun, only thing is they need to revise their naming system 😂👍
Really impressed with these car, agree their naming system sucks, i can never remember the number
Such a class car guys love it awesome video big Dave as always love you guys ❤️❤️
Super impressed us this little car, we tried to break it in a fair way and just couldn't. Thanks for your support 👍👍
@@HardcoreRC it did take it really well me and my we girl had a ball watching the video thanks guys ❤️
The battery comes out with the brushed one aswell. It's the only thing that's a problem for me
Dont have the issue with the other one we have due to it having caged body, needs a side strap or something
What happened to the tlr typhon??
Still working on the edit, video is coming 👍
Enlighten us on how you get those side barrel rolls please 😀
Mainly the way it was coming off the ramp at a slight angle, then flips it on its side 😂
@@HardcoreRC awesome... got to try it! 😊 thanks
Thats a Little Ripper!! 🏋🏼♂️🤗
it sure is, cant wait to get it on 3s
Have you got the V2 yet?
We haven't as our one didnt really suffer bad from the cogging issues, and its certainly not stopped us having fun with this car

cool rc and review,nice run
Thanks 👍
great review and great clips 👍
Thank you 👍👍
good 1 lads.........and quite the beating that took pmsl
Thanks - we tried our best to break it in a fair way, really though one jump off the big ramp it would be toast, but it just kept taking it - very impressed
@@HardcoreRC definitely looks a good little rig for a tight budget, first rig etc thanks for the content :-)
😎Wltoys are tough! I really like mine.👍

Very nice, sorry i missed out playing with this and trying to break it 😂😂
Im sure you will get a chance to break it 😂
That is pretty awesome 40mph

Nice one 😁✌️
Thanks ✌️
Impressive!
Thanks 👍👍
Very nice air-control Calem (hope i wrote your name correct)
Thanks, dunno how he pulled off that front flip 😂😂 - its spelt Callum but there are many ways to spell it so dont worry 👍👍
The guy uses the same phrases as Kevin Talbot :P
What guy and what phrases? bearing in mind we are friends with Kev ?
Budget beast
These little things amaze me.
On 2s it’s slower than the brushed 124019
124019 on 2s only does 32mph and the 124018 we have only did 30mph - so this is faster at 40mph ??
@@HardcoreRC people have been getting such varying results. I’ve seen several videos where it’s slower… a couple people got your result.
@@DeRock401 All the ones i have seen have hit 40mph, not sure why others may be going slower, maybe they didn't calibrate their ESC ?

Tell Callum he needs a new pair of sneakers!Lol! Those poor things look wore out!
LOL, he has new ones, but doesnt wear them out doing RC stuff, ruined to many pairs of new ones and the ex gets annoyed 😂😂
Skate park let's try and kill it let's really c how much the car can take what u say like Kevin sis finish it lol to the 🌙 🌔
Its the only way to test them - if it can take what we give it then it should be great for your every day person 😂😂
