Abby and I are HUGE Fans of this style of RC truck, and now Virhuck has it's own version in a very nice looking red, but they've also gone the distance and upgraded the body to metal! If that's not enough reason to be excited, they've also added a speed switch to adjust high and low speeds. We learned while recording this video that you need to change that speed while the truck is completely off. What do you guys think? Which of the three would you rather have? If this video hits 700 likes, we'll do a comparison between the three, and on top of that, if you leave suggestions in the comments below, and we use yours, we'll give you a shout out!

Saylors: do you know if it comes in any other color since i dont like red?
Honest RC: Virhuck web site doesn't show any color options. Pull the body off, give it a very light sanding, and paint it whatever color you want :> At 45 bucks you could get two, paint them different colors, and have races!
Awesome! Good find, thanks guys!
Wow great deal, just picked it up. I alread have the JJRC version because of the Saylors!
So in the side-by-side-by-side Buggy Competition, maybe rather than call it a “Three-Way” challenge, you can just call it a “Menage a Track”... 🤔
Nope, on second thought, that’s simply too corny. 😋
So I've had mine for 2 days now, and love it! It came with 3 pinions, had a 22, 24, and a 26 installed. I changed to the 24 to reduce the speed a lil bit, and get more torque. The tool kit is nice to get, and overall I like the quality. The only weak spot will be the driveshafts, I have already ordered them. I am using 2000mah 2s drone lipos I got at Walmart, and it runs so long I get tired before the battery goes dead. I haven't timed it but it's almost an hour. They come with upgraded metal gear differentials, but there are some plastic gear in the transmission. I backed mine off a little as it was locked. Also it comes with aluminum 12mm hexes, and full ball bearings, which was nice, and fit and finish was good. I like the transmitter, and the wheel has velvety soft foam so it's comforting to drive lol one more thing, the shocks are just bouncy springs, I will be upgrading those to good oil units, aluminum driveshafts (all4)and a brushless 380 size setup. Otherwise I'm very happy, and I can't believe I got it for $40 it's a deal at $100. They are $45 on eBay so anyone thinking if one snap it up. I'm actually thinking of buying another one to keep new in the closet.
I have both the Wltoys and the JJRC, just ordered Virhuck today for $42 with free shipping on eBay after watching your video, can’t wait. The JJRC is all ball bearings slipper clutch and metal gears front and rear and metal 12mm hex hubs on my buggy and Wltoys is not. Both are great at a great price, I’m hoping the Virhuck will be the same if not better. I have modified the Wltoys because it was the first one I got, brushless is the way to go with after market servo. Have not touched the JJRC and may not it’s great for crawling and still fast. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK YOU GUYS!
Ps..... thank you to my wife for letting me get all three 😘
2 videos in 24 hours! Dang you guys are working really hard, love seeing the notification that a video has been uploaded from you guys!
Thanks a lot :-) Yeah we are just really enjoying the hobby and love making videos for everyone. Plus this truck is just so awesome!
Yeah I can tell, i've been practicing fpv lately and i can tell im getting better and more confident with everything i do :)
13:47 Definitely a video with all 3 variants of this truck would be very interesting! The coolest feature of this one is the metal body. I really liked how the paint sparkled in the sun.
Bryan BryanT do you know when thair going to do it
"do you know when thair going to do it" No, I don't.
I've had the 12428 since I first saw you guys review it. Got it upgraded with some metal parts and all metal gears and I am still loving it! The electronics are still alive after 2+ years except the battery so I got it upgraded..and here I am right now binge watching your reviews again..
Did you ever upgrade the servo?
I have a couple of ideas for a three way competition. 1. A smooth course to test for speed, like the one at RCS fest. 2. King of the hill competition, fastest up the big hill, you may have to pull some weeds. 3. Bricks stacked randomly for a crawl test. 4. Something to drag behind, small wagon, see how many water bottles each could pull.
thanks for all you do it does really help when you do these test. i llike that you keep it real and tell the truth about all the cars and trucks you test that means a lot to me
I just found this channel, it’s awesome. Good job guys
Thanks so much :-)
I have the Virhuck V01 as well. I have been running it here with a couple Floureon 7.4V 30C Lipo batteries...and it is *FAST* with a 30C battery!
There is another "brother" in this family of trucks, the Feiyue FY03 Eagle 3. I *think* the original was the Feiyue, and they are all copies of the FY03. There is also the FY07, which is the *Brushless* version of the Feiyue FY03. And there are lots of replacement and upgrade parts available for them...including a complete metal replacement front end and rear end, along with full metal gears and shafts for the drive train. Of course, by the time you have done all that work, it has doubled the price of it...but if you do it incrementally, then it's not too bad for the wallet, I guess. :-)
Such a nice guy Nate😊 you didn't criticise when Abby kept falling but she was negative when you rolled once😊 as you said just having fun😊👌 Awesome guys thanks for all you hours of work/RC Fun😊😊😊
I bought that 12428 (only $52) for my son....and was so impressed I wanted another for me. lol. All 3 of those look great!
Where'd you find it for so cheap?
@@omicrondec I found a guy on eBay selling it new, still in box. Took a while to get it since he was in Vietnam.
I'm still impressed how tough it is for that price!
I know this video has been out for a while, but I think this calls for a vehicle ground combat session like those that they have in the rc airplane world!
Love the channel and the family friendly integrity. I can watch your channel with my 5year old.
13:47 Wiser words have never been spoken. Great work guys.
Yes a side by side comparison of all three.
Wow! That is a totally *AWESOME* R/C truck!!! :-)
Most definitely a home run -- and a good one! At least a three-run homer; possibly a grand freakin slam!!!
Yes, please do a vid featuring all three trucks.
1: The BIG hill climb challenge (not the little {mainly UK term for kitty cat; five letters, starts with P and ends with Y} hill).
2: Ramp challenge.
3: Speed challenge (just use a watch or clock with a second hand on it to calculate the winner -- GPS is not necessary. Watch holder stands at the "finish line" of course).
4: Grass & weed challenge (place all three trucks, one at a time, in such a position that they'll have to traverse progressively taller grass and possibly face off with dangerous weeds).
5: Doughnut challenge (place all three trucks, one at a time, in such a position that they'll have to do doughnuts on an asphalt or concrete surface). The truck that does doughnuts most easily and prolifically is declared the winner -- the doughnuts can be done in either forward or reverse -- whichever works out better for the individual truck).
Thank you guys for the great videos! This is a very cool RC! A 3-1 video would be awesome! Tug of war, speed test, drag race (both driving at the same time), speed hill climb, "which vehicle can drive with a raw egg on board w/o cracking it."
What a great video! I can’t imagine 3 people would give a thumbs down. They must be drone or plane lovers. Sign me up for the comparison video. I’d love to see the basics. As you said, speed for sure, but also acceleration. I think the only way to put those aspects in perspective is to put them on a scale as well.
I like it for the price. I have watched about 200 of your videos in the last few days and I’m overwhelmed by all the buggies and such but I do like this one.
3-way crawl-off! Consisting of several main events. Chalk lines at 0 and 100ft on that asphalt and drag race. Speed climb from road edge to the top of the hill at the big tree, up to 4 attempts, take best time. Kenevil-Ramp jump over your other RC trucks, start with two or three, add one each jump until you can't make it over any more.
I'm a bit late to this video but really enjoyed it. I have just treated myself to the newer upgraded Feiyue FY03H brushless version of this buggy. It's essentially the same but now has a better esc, tires and really cool black wheels. I probably won't receive it before Christmas, but it will be a great RC to start the new year with. Have a wonderful christmas and a fun packed RC new year 😊🎅👍👍
Jump test, speed test, crawling test, track test, traction test, reverse test, and lastly... Rollover test! Which one rolls over easiest and which one is best at maintaining CoG! Also, links to suspension/gearing upgrade kits? I have the original one, 12428, and it makes loud grind noise and doesn't go anywhere so I think it's trans gearing? Idk. I love it tho! (when it is operational lol)
Y'all should do all three, all very similar. Maybe get a stack of cups. Definitely do the ramp! Then have them land and plow through some packing peanuts - I think that'll be cool to see. I like the look of this truck, the shinny red. I have both Deadbolts and got a hitch receiver for one, plan on making a trailer to haul the Cajun Comander. Thought that'll be good enough for me, but I might have to get this one too.
If some one buys one of these, you better know kow to fix it. I own the green one and I had to replace most of the gears with aftermarket ones because they broke. Its an awesome truck and I love it but if youre not a handyman then this truck is not for you.
Great video! I love it. Unfortunately this one wont be one I will be getting because I just got a trx 4.
Definitely need all 33 in a video. Tests could be speed, stability (flip resistence), ramp jumping, hill climbing and of course, best dust storm.
Hi my friends! Here's my crazy idea - How about setting up a launching ramp on cement or smooth pavement, determine a distance away that each truck reaches top speed when it reaches the ramp. Of course, to measure the top height that each truck achieves, a hovering drone (like your Spark) off to the side could document it - and would be really cool to do some slow-mo of the lauch, etc. Then for landing area, probably an area like tallish grass to soften it somewhat. Take good care! JP
I just ordered the 12428 the day before you put this video out, what a coincidence.
Um... yes, please! That is a spiffy one, indeed! I love the metal body, I love the look, I love the detail, I love its ambidextrous transmitter. Tool kit is nice, but they should change that out for lights! This is a grand slam! 😀
You should check out our Pinned comment before you pull the trigger on this ;)
70/30 trigger throw is what most racers prefer and what you'd find on high end transmitters. It allows much finer control over the throttle range, as such precision is less critical for braking. You would need to recalibrate the ESC if you're switching between 50/50 and 70/30 modes.
Love that aluminum truck and all the goodies it comes with. Wow! Needs oil filled shocks for more stability and less rollovers. That would make it closer to hobby grade. Great find!
Great review fantastic buggy but everywhere is sold out I'm proper gutted I can't get it must have flew off the shelves when everyone's seen this video 😭😭😭😭 great video guys 👍👍👍👍
I know.
When I first saw it on amazon they did not record this video yet.
I did not get it because I did not see the potential of this
I regret it
Keeping me occupied during lockdown 💯👌 " wicked job ✌️ nice truck 🤠 all the best 👌
Use a ramp to determine which vehicle jumps the farthest and which truck jumps the highest !! Love your videos and I miss Popeye a lot!!!
Just purchased one, they look like fun! Hopefully it’ll prove to be a fun little buggy, it reminds me of a Twin Hammers but it seems a bit smaller. Do you know if the electronics are standard size or proprietary to this buggy?
We are excited to see the 3 truck challenge. Have fun yall......😎Ashmee
Love to see you guys back in business 😍😍😍😍😍
Seems like a great RC truck for the price. Problem tho. The site you gave no longer carries it and I can't find these anywhere else?
Yeah we believe there is a rather "large" RC company that has been attacking smaller companies for the IP of specific things and this is one of their current targets. I challenge you to find this anywhere in the world, NEW online as we can't find it. Sad really. Sorry about that preston, we'd love to update our link if you can find anything. Thanks for tuning in to our video!
I like. I will be buying the red one, for sure . Thxs
My personal opinion The Wltoy 12428 is the best of the three RC Cars.
Wonderful video congratulations.
Just ordered from Walmart. Thanks for that link!! Are the batteries the same as the WL Toys buggy?
We put some 20mm hub extenders on my brother's WL Toys version. Gave it a wider stance and it is even more fun. Flips a lot less.
I didn't even know the V01 had a metal body when I ordered mine! I was so surprised and happy! They all have different motors in them though! I think the 12428 has a 540, the jjrc has a 390, the Virhuck has a 380.
Awesome, thanks for the motor size tips!
theonly benreese uh ya it does has a 390 motor
I just got this truck and it’s a blast, put in FPV
Definitely have to do a video of the 3 but you should definitely do a 3-way drag race a hill climb a bash session and maybe a crawling competition to see which one can crawl and articulate better
I love lights. . Play time in the dark . Worth it . All cars should have lights standard . . It's a car
Hi Nate and Abbey! Can you comment on the material used in the drive train? Are the gears plastic or metal? My son and I managed to strip out both the forward and rear differential gears in our WL Toys 12428. Metal replacements are on the way so we'll fix it eventually. :)
Hill climb Challenge /Tug Of War Let’s go RED METAL
You guys are killing it with the videos. I just ordered this one. I was planning to buy one of the other two next week but when I just checked this one Amazon had 16 left so I just jumped on it.
It would be nice to see stability test after a jump at a angle. Not on the hill just a flat ground ,board and cinder block. Just want to see if it flys right for center of gravity. High speed drifts on dirt. Not gravel. To see if it will dig and flip or have the nice slide l. Are any of them able to be put in 2×4 or are they full time 4×4. Thanks Abby and Nate. And. The bun in the oven.
I have the WLToys and the Virhuck is on the way, I think the metal Virhuck is cheaper on sale and its a has good upgrades. Thanks, to race them together and add better batteries!
Please do a shootout between all 3 cars . I just bought a 12427/8. Great truck . Thanks for the great reviews guys
My Traxxas VXL transmitter has that 70 30 switch you have to program it in the ESC i guess because it will go into reverse as well for me when switching the switch
Im thinking of either getting the green 12428 with the 540 size motor, or the red one here, and then upgrading the motor/esc with a goolrc brushless kit. But for basically the same money i can get the 2 speed 1:10 one. Idk. Too many choices...but sometimes a little bugger is fun.
I love that metal look.
It's a good truck with a better controller than the 12428 but I don't see any advantage of having the metal body. Tool kit is nice though
Not being a basher, I'm not that bothered by relative top speeds and the speed switch has little relevance for me.
The shocks _look_ exactly the same which means it will need oil filled ones fitted and probably, long-term, will need transmission fixes and replacements.
I use my 12428 as a light trail truck and at walking pace, with the throttle trim turned way down, get 30+ minutes from the stock li-ion battery which equates to about a mile of fairly easy trailing. If this or any of the other similar trucks can beat that I'd be interested.....
However, in your current circumstances, I don't suggest and would not advise that such a test is carried out for a while yet :)
didactylos4 diddy4 it wont brake as easy
I like all you guys's videos
Amazing.. Can you replace the plastic parts with metal parts as well to make it better each time you break something?
U guys are hilarious, with the my truck, my truck, you got the other one routine. On a side note, how are the plastic driveshafts holding up? Im thinking a drop of CA glue on the outside end of each pin should help them stay together for a month or two, until the all metal ones come in with the rest of the aluminum hoard.
You guys are my heroes! Can't wait to get my first hobby level truggy. I have the 1st wl toys model that y'all showed and it is still fun! I am thinking 2-300 for a good traxxas or similar starting level digger. I will be reviewing your reviews to help me choose. :) It sure is nice to be back out side and I am going to break out some crazy drones soon. Thanks again .Cyber Hug!
How far can they go across water before sinking? Will you do that
This is like the 12428, love the aluminum
Can’t find this version anywhere. Only shows on Walmart but out of stock. Damn. Any idea where I can find one
Good job on trying to compare model clones. More of this plz. But one complaint on Nate.. i dont see 2 speed setups. As far as the car reacts in the video the switch just resets the "Zero on Bind" so u can get more precision in the 70/30 on the throttle uphill
Ordering now looks nice!!
Good luck my friend, this is sold out just about everywhere. I'd love it if you stopped by to check out some of our newer videos! 👍⚓😃
Mital 4/4 39
WOW, fast,rugged,climbs,great color, love the metal. Abby quad's do flips on purpose, buggies not so much. 😁😁😆😆. Way fun review, definitely a race off, and climbing. Prime had a meltdown. Fun-fun-fun. 😊got one
Awesome! Love the aluminum!
We are huge fans of this truck :-) Definitely check out our Pinned comment for an amazing deal!
Hi nat and Abby congratulations on the baby Cool truck look like lot s fun. I think it would be awesome to do a three truck drag race Or I three truck hill climb to see who got to the top first
Wow. I just might get one of these wonderful off-road RC trucks. Last time I had an RC truck was a 1980 Radio Shack special. The torque/power was pathetic (NiCad battery). These newer RC trucks can throw some dirt!
Isn’t it brushless?
You guys should visit a track and try driving around a track. So much more fun than driving around randomly.
Ordered! Can’t wait. Love y’all reviews. Keep it up!!
great video. how long dose I take for the battery to run out?
Is the diff the same as 12428? I haven't had the best of luck with that one. The plastic diff stripped out and hope it's better on the v01.
That’s what I’m talking about I like that one especially it having metal on it, I think differently a speed test and and see which one could make it up the hill the fastest, great job guys I probably going try to pick that one up but I have too let a light bar for it LoL 👍👍
Nice truck but the spring suspension just bounces all over and rolls over.. wonder if you can upgrade shocks? GREAT to be in the park with you guys feels like im there!
Yeah you could add some grease or something to slow it down a bit, or just new shocks all together. With our Pinned comment price though, how can you go wrong :-)
Of the 3 is the green one the only one with a 540 size motor. And are these like the 10428 with 2 speed transmissions?
great video guys.
as this rig been discontinued ?
thanks
So im in the market to buy something, havent baught since the ole nitro days darn near 15 years ago. did yall ever make a video with the 3 buggies ? cause I cant find it. and if not which one is recomended
Thanks for another great review, guys!
I have 2 of the 12428s and have had trouble with a weak little pin in the steering control breaking. Also blown differentials and frequent (apparently low voltage) shut downs, particularly in cool weather. Aside from these issues and some self-inflicted suspension breakage, they have been pretty good. Does anyone know if these differentials are any better? Maybe a better esc? I wonder if the smaller motor will help with the shutting down?
Thanks!
I want to own one of these. It's crazy awesome. Thnx for doing this video. Love you so much. 💓💓
Hey guys looks fun, like the Red aluminum, definitely do a ramp test, great video.
I believe the hill climbs are the best on ur truck reviews.
I'm poor but I enjoy the heck out of watching your videos your a very cute couple keep rcing
Just subscribed to you guys a week ago, been loving your vids as I catch up lol. You guys do an awesome job! Big hi from Australia ☺️
Where can I find the red one ? It’s out of stock basically every where I check
Does this have metal diff gears or are they also nylon
Now the metal truck is $20 LESS than the other ones! I don’t want summer to end, I want to play with RCS!
We are sad it's coming to an end too!!!
i wonder if i got the same car i wonder if i can make it run off solar pannels and make the solar pannels charge the battery also ?
That sounds like a fun challenge. If you give it a shot, let us know how it turns out!
I have a wltoys 12428, and a hbx spectre. Both, even though they are brushed for me atm, still provide nice cheap fun. I've got metal upgrades for the wltoys, and hopefully some for the hbx. Will the car in this review be my next desert racer? Hmmm.
Sadly, they stopped manufacturing this one right after our video. Turns out big bad Traxxas caught on to their cantilever shocks and nailed them. They dumped a massive sale on these on Walmart for like $35 and a day later it was like they never existed….
I have been in rc truck's car's buggy's for 22 years and i haven't seen a toy grade rc buggy like that one i think jump test wil be best and what ever happened to the little s max truck?
is it possible to order ONLY the metal plates? because I'm pretty much satisfied with my q39 and i'm not going to buy the same rc just for the plates.
Sadly no I do not think so. This truck has recently been discontinued. Be sure to check out more content on our channel for more up to date models my friend. Happy Driving!
what's your pick, 12428 or axial yeti jr canam?
I remember using a transmitter with a similar throttle adjustment. It gives you more throttle sensitivity range. I used it to limit the reverse range as I was racing back then
Love your channel. I know I'm late to the game, but did you ever did that 1x1x1 challenge with these cars.
Thanks! No we did not because Traxxas ended up filing a lawsuit against this company because of their radio looking too much like theirs.. Traxxas has sued a lot of companies since weve been in the hobby ☹
TheRcSaylors Wow, that kinda suck, was looking forward to it. Keep up the great work though. I saw your channel about a year back when y’all were covering the drones and I thought I hit the subscription button. Made sure I did it now though. Thanks again.
Dang,could not pass up on this one after seeing it on the Wal-Mart link you posted,almost seems too good a deal to be real at that price.I shall see,thanks for the share of this one,looks great😎
I sort of thought the same thing but it looks like they are just trying to get it out of stock. Probably just don't realize the true gem that they have. I think I'll be ordering a back up as well at that price ;-)
Thanks for sharing the great find 🙌
You took my idea! Ramp test! Also a side by side speed test. Again Thanks I just bought one.
Cool video and cool truck! I like this style too but they tend to flip over a lot! You guys have one more to get.. Feiyue has a red brushless version!
May be a obstacle trail course (like in the WL toys video you did). this seams to becoming a popular sector of the rtr side of the hobby
Oh I'm liking that, I'm looking forward to watching the rest of this video 👍
:-)
Great video. Try running a 5200 High Discharge Lipo in any one of those, my wl12428 electronics and motor lasted over a year, before a friend ran I’d wide open for 45 min.
Totally melted the motor and esc.
Make a video of modifying the wl12 or others with scale bodies...
Great show love the family theme..
