Yes this thing is not a proper rock crawler, even if you lock the diff. But this thing is fun for bashing even slowly "crawl" In rocky road. I have this thing for 5 years and i still play with it. Only minor problem occur within 5 years like servo problem and broken diff gears a week ago so i replace it with metal gears
I totally agree with you. This is not suitable for rock crawlers. Everything you said happened to my RC too. The problem arises with the servo. I also replaced the servo with a metal servo. In addition, the battery's performance also begins to decrease due to prolonged use. Thanks for sharing, Brother 🖐😁
Thanks for sharing! This rock racer is absolutely amazing! I was looking if it would do good as a crawler before buying it so your video answers the question. I'm really impressed!
It can crawl all right ! Nice video. I changed the ESC/receiver stock combo on mine and put in a cheap Chinese 2-3s 60A brushed ESC and a receiver that matches my personal transmitter. To do that I had to change the steering servo as well, coz the stock one is a 5-wire. I can now run it on 2s and even on 3s for more speed if I want to, while using my favourite radio transmitter. I modified the rear battery compartment as well to fit a bigger battery, but not a 5000 mAH because that's overkill. A 2200mAH is just fine and fits nicer. I liked this video because it not all out bashing and full throttle driving like most of the others. Driving this desert truck scale is the best experience. Cheers!
Thanks for the information. Honestly, I am not someone who understands the ins and outs of rc, I just play my rc as is. I also didn't change anything except the battery. Thank you for this very useful information. Hopefully, I can learn to modify my rc. Cheers!
Many TH-cam channels have discussed the comparison between 12428 and 12429, adjust it to your liking. 1. 12428 is faster than 12429. 2. 12429's ground clearance is higher than 12428 due to bigger wheels. 3. the display 12429 is more manly than the 12428. 4. 12429 when starting can wheelie easily. 5. about performance I think it's the same. Sorry if my answer is not satisfactory 😭
I dont know, but so far, I have used the stock battery, it's quite satisfying. It can be used for about 10-15 minutes if used continuously. 🤭 Sorry for my bad english 🤪😳🤪🤔
A higher mah rating will be fine, its basically like a bigger fuel tank, just dont jump up to 3s, the higher voltage is what will kill it. Some can take 3s for a while, some fry instantly.. the electronics arent officially rated for it so its not worth the risk unless u plan to upgrade the electronics anyway.
I agree with you. Wltoys 12428 tends to be suitable for use on broad and flat ground, because wltoys has high speed. If used for crawling, the body often gets stuck. And it's hard to adjust the speed from the remote control.

Hehe 👍🤭
Thanks for watching this video 😭😭😭
Top video👍
Haaha 🤣😂 Thank you, Dude! 👍
Looks like the diff lock is doing it job, amazing for a budget rc to crawl on technical terrain
Very nice crawler 👍👍👍👍
Haaha! Thank you 🤭

Haahaha 😄 Hope you enjoy
Crawls pretty good for a smaller tired fast crawler.
Thanks for watching 👍
I don't know which one to buy 12428 or 12429? Any suggestions?
Many TH-cam channels have
discussed the comparison
between 12428 and 12429, adjust
it to your liking.
1. 12428 is faster than 12429.
2. 12429's ground clearance is
higher than 12428 due to bigger
wheels.
3. the display 12429 is more
manly than the 12428.
4. 12429 when starting can
wheelie easily.
5. about performance I think it's
the same.
Sorry if my answer is not
satisfactory 😭
@@ubedthchannels8400 brush less motor go brrr
maybe it does better with a locked rear diff?
Yeah! You're right 👍 I need to lock the diff. for better perform 👍
Can it run on higher cap li-on battery for extended run time? Whats the stock battery runt time?
I dont know, but so far, I have used the stock battery, it's quite satisfying. It can be used for about 10-15 minutes if used continuously. 🤭
Sorry for my bad english 🤪😳🤪🤔
Thanks thats awesome, also awesome video!

@@tranquil-eyez1561 Thank you for answering! It helps me, Dude 👍
@@ubedthchannels8400 no problem dude, nice cinematic video.
is this the original ESC? and radio? I can't have this slow speed control with mine, despite haviong already a "slower" motor (35T)! :o
Yeaahh 👍
I didnt replace with another esc 😄 play throttle slowly hahaha
Plz buy new remote from online store and test it can it work with wltoys 12428 i want new remote my remote was broked
Buy the same remote from wltoys is definitely suitable
Austar ax5 is good
I dont think its a crawler, its more of a desert buggy, but if you lock up those diffs then its easier to crawl
I agree with you.
Wltoys 12428 tends to be suitable for use on broad and flat ground, because wltoys has high speed. If used for crawling, the body often gets stuck. And it's hard to adjust the speed from the remote control.
It’s a cross country rc car
Yeah! 👊👍
