For the people that dont like the connect rods on the front and back suspension because it's impossible to set the camber with it: The rods are replacable with the older type of rods that you can adjust, so with that you can still adjust the camber. Just a little more spendings thats all.
seen tomleyrc's video and ordered one, still waiting for it from makerfire, didnt have the options for batterys or anything when i ordered it. great review thanks
Hello, nice video.. A consultation.. I have one and I have only used it 4 times, I have not crashed it, nor have I jumped, but the dogbone came out of the cap and also wore out its mouth, and consulted in other groups and some have the same thing happened, apparently the dogbone comes a little short and that would be the problem, In your case, hasn't this happened to you? And what you could do to avoid that ? in your car is the Dogbone a good size ?... Thank you
Hi, mine popped out once in a crash, but I didn't had anh problems other than that case. Perhars you can find some longer ones, line 2mm longer on AliExpress: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_EuYBDO5 I by a lot of parts there
Looks to be a nice little car but i absolutely do not like the battery system. Okay its simple just click, slide and remove but the long wires that go to the esc really arent necessary. Causing just a loss of power and looking ugly. Me (as a racer), i need short wires.
Hi mate, I recently got one from aliexpress. I ordered 2x 2000mah batteries with it but they sent me a 1200mah and a 1300mah. So I got ripped off. My esc has like a black casing all around it, all pictures I’ve seen of the 124008 have a blue metal piece with the fan on top.. would it still be the same esc? It just looks different. I know very little about rc cars 😂. Also what about charging these 3s lipos with the charger they supply. Can I just run the battery down and then fully charge? Do I have to charge them straight away after I use car or can they be left a while, or do I have to get them to a certain level of charge. I only have the charger they supplied atm.
Hi, from your description I can't tell if it's different. Regarding the lipo's, myself I have almost no problem buying on AliExpress, and I spent thousands there. Charging, yes, use the provided, but it charges very slow. If you don't use it for a long time, charge it a little, likw 25% or so
@@hofsplace ok thanks mate. Did you notice the 124008 lags when you reverse? As in if you accelerate and then push the trigger straight to reverse it just won’t work, you have to let go and then reverse. Unless it’s an issue with mine. Also any tips to stop surface rust on the metal parts? I took it out in wet grass earlier and it has surface rust on the cbds even though I got all the grass off and wiped it down not long after I got home.
@@stevew329 hi, the rust is indeed a problem, perhaps a clear coat of paint can help? It's the 'brake' function I think you mean, that's not a bad thing, more a positive one
hello do you know what charger I could find to replace the original one (it seems that it is not optimal and damages the battery)? AliExpress link? for original battery 2000mah 3s
@@michaelfear4801 thanks for that. If I jump my buggy the dog bones bend. But they wear out so quickly it’s not that bad I have to replace them 5 times a year. However a bent dog bone will destroy a bearing very quickly. The small battery tray is an issue. On my 124019 the small battery mounts had to be removed and the side guard so I could mount a proper battery tray that can take a 2S shorty or a full stick pack
@@michaelfear4801 so for no problem with dog bones, these are much thicker. Battery, I use a OVONIC AIR 2200mAh 35C 3S, the hight and width are perfect. Only you need some foam in the length
Hell yeah - ordered one last week; can’t wait for it to arrive! Seems like a pretty great car for the money. 👍
Nice car, some things to adjust, but for the money it's okay

Ok. Do you have a link? Which exactly. Sorry iam newbie.

Whats the biggest 3S battery the 124008 can take?
If it wil fit in the tray, thats your max. I used a 3s short pack
Looks to be a nice little car but i absolutely do not like the battery system. Okay its simple just click, slide and remove but the long wires that go to the esc really arent necessary. Causing just a loss of power and looking ugly. Me (as a racer), i need short wires.
For simplicity the battery choice is obvious, for hobbyists it's not preferred.
Adjustable mesh motor mount or fixed?
Not sure yet, ill make another video

Hi, you can use any good balance charger. You will need a extension cord for the balance port, otherwise you cannot connect it.
@@hofsplace ok thank you !
Is it geared to the moon causing insane motor overheating like usual?
mine should be in tomorrow ill let you know,
Until now no, i run a couple batteries and all seems fine
mine seems fine the mesh is perfect, absolutely hate the battery though and I've been searching on Amazon for something that will fit into the tray,

To say it is lighter you must weigh it and compare
I have had them all and it's definitely lighter than the 124018, and I think slightly than the 124017
@@hofsplace definetly that can say only scales
