Hey Tomley, Another great video buddy, Always look forward to watching your reviews & content, Everytime you do a review on a model your content of technical explanations & demonstrations are brilliant. You have the gift of producing brilliant such videos & myself like other RC family members really appreciate everything you do for this great hobby. Problem is your videos are that good that they nearly always make me want to go out & buy the RC you are reviewing at the time. Keep up your brilliant reviews & work. 👌🏼👍🏼
Haha… I get that a lot. I try to e as thorough as possible on the reviews but not drag them out to much. But there are some really nice affordable stuff options out there now 👍
Ordered based on this vid as a second to my kraton... bought the 144 for my bro for Xmas aswell, cheers tomley- clear concise recommendations as always
I bought this and spend more on repairs than the actual car itself. After doing some bashing, a few pieces of plastic broke. Within the first week the esc and receiver broke after running it on sand. I managed to get it all repaired but it ended up costing me $200
@@benstotil9677 I was actually thinking about it, but buying a new one would just cause the same parts to break again so I decided to get higher quality parts in order to stop it from breaking
If anyone wants proof of how these new Series 3 Wltoys brushed ESC's do not handle 3s, go check out my video on it from last week, I sacrificed one deliberately for the purpose of making a video to show how they fail regardless of some that have shown it run on 3s, it's very hit and miss!
Yeah... the C hubs are a chronicle problem since the LC Racing and Tacon ones🙈 i think though that submerging them in WD40 for 24 hours it would be enough. Still, very happy and can't wait to see the skate park beating; not because i'm sadistic but because it's an amazing way to see in fact what kind of platform we have in hands, with the particularly of seeing if this stretched chassis will bend or not. Thank You Phil👌🙂 Just one last note: Regarding the 124018, i think it's less probably that the chassis bends (because of the upper structure), and if the 124019 chassi doesn't bend in the skate park, there's no need to take the 124018 to it. One thing nobody did so far was approaching the 124018 upper structure; nobody disassemble it completely and it is a pertinent issue once the shocks mounts are linked to it.
Man that body and colour scheme is crazy nice, looks soooo goood.. Phil stop showing me nice stuff mate I have to save for that TRX4 so I’m not even going to check the price of this 😂
Thats no Cow for being Purple , its dope. Great place too , like to send up a quad & get some shots. I believe youve been only one to really bash one so far. Very nice, TY.
Are you able to get replacement parts for these yet? Those battery retainers look wider than the ones in my LC. I'd bet they'd bolt right into the LC chassis.
A lot of the 144001 parts fit. Apart from the chassis and centre shaft. The battery holder is wider, not tried it on my LC yet to see if it fits, but I’m sure they will 👍
The parts should be available now. I just bought the bottom plate, driveshaft with spur gear and bearings (one assembly), the middle brace and the side skirts for the bottom plate. They didn't have the body of the desert buggy or the spring mounts on the back arms (glad I got this instead).
Love your channel. You're my go to guy when I hear of a new wltoys car. You seem to know them well and cover their pros/cons well so I know what to expect. Just curious. Would you sign the body of my 124019 if I mailed it to you with return postage enclosed? I live in Missouri, USA but it'd be worth the postage cost if you would. Just a thought.
My wife gifted me the 124018 and I am pretty happy with it. I am bloody new to RC. What I have learned and read so far is, that I need a better charger and a lipo warner. Do you or the community have any suggestions here? Plus I thought, that it might be good to buy the "usual" spare parts upfront so that in case of a damage, I have them already. Which should I buy?
I also drove with my Wltoys 124019 yesterday and then hit my bag with the right side and it is broken in exactly the same place above and below the steering cup I think that is the weak point in this car now has to wait for the spare parts in aluminum . Lg
how long did the motor last my friend, I worried cos it is brushless - but I guess a heatsink would help dissapate the heat :¬) It looks nice I really like the look of it, if it was brushless it would be super cool, probably the best r/c car inda woefull world, Hehehehehe!!!!
@@gbraadnl The motor mount and pin wheel screws are super glued in. He is referring that trying to swap a motor with the stock motor mount is a nightmare (on the 144001 at least). As far as I know, all 144001 aftermarket motor swaps should work for this.
..anywho, now that I've watched the video, nice work as usual Phil, looks quick and fun. Do like the purple, but still prefer the overall style of the 018.
Why WL ? I understand the price point vs other models but how about parts support ? Aftermarket ? I have a good collection but all I hear about on the tube these days is WL .... why ?
Because WLtoys are more affordable for a lot of people. They can spend a hundred dollars or so on upgrades and have a 100mph RC Car. Or if you are not in to speed runs you can have a decent buggy for not much money. The only down side is you can’t go to your local hobby shop for spares. But you can get spares, you just have to deal with waiting a few weeks for some stuff if it’s not on eBay.
Hey Phil, if you changed your camera audio to mono on purpose, thank you. It's refreshing not to have the narrator's voice jumping from left to right to center during each clip. Especially with headphones on :-)
@@TomleyRC How audio sounds in headphones is my biggest complaint about youtube producers. Audio is so largely ignored, and often the narrator's voice does as I mentioned above. Very irritating & so easy to fix - if the editing software provides a 'mono' audio mod. The effect is lasting, too, b/c when you switch to a montage & the music is in stereo, it's very refreshing. Just my 2 cents (sorry, just my 2-pence)
@@aljensen7779 Audio is the biggest thing I've been trying to sort out. Some channels are terrible!

Io ho una 144001, la seconda volta che siamo usciti si è rotta nella stessa maniera, cambiato tutti i pezzi in plastica con quelli in alluminio e non si è più rotta. Questa versione più lunga bellissima.
No, no it isn't😒 Maybe with exeption of the x maxx, but otherwise traxxas is overpriced and not very though. I've sold my traxxas stuff and am just running chinese brands now. Cheaper AND more durable.
This is the problem with these cheaply china made banggood crap. When u break like you did because u will now you have to order from a china then it takes several weeks for ur cheap part to arrive and then it breaks again amd u repeat the process. This 1/12 scale car is a 130 dollars. Why on earth would anyone buy this piece of shit when they can spend 20 bucks more and get Traxxas bandit that is 1/10scale has every aftermarket upgrade known to man and every local hobby shop carries there parts in stock so no need to get it shipped on a slow boat from China. Blows my mind. U think u got a great deal when really u just got a cheaply made rc. These are just Chinese knock off like anything else you buy. U buy i iPhone because there good u don't go buy a Chinese knock off version of a iPhone instead because its cheaper? Wtf would u do that with a rc car lol

How do these WL models compare to the LC Racing and Tacon versions?
LC Racing are better quality, but these are good for the money
Love both 018 and 019 i want both lol to run with my old 12428 😁
I love my Xinlehong Toys Q901 Brushless :'-D
Yes, me too
Will you convert it to brushless? It's an amazing car also stock, but brushless is perfect.
Yes :)
what other bodyshells would fit this? i'm thinking something like a mini, 2cv, or a honda city might be cool
Not sure, but for reference the Honda City Turbo is the same wheel base as the 144001, so shorter than this
@@TomleyRC ah that's right
Love mine as well ,nice video !
God bless take care & stay safe.
Hi there, can you fit a standard size 2s lipo in these things? Or are you stuck using the battery that comes with it? Cheers
🤠 wicked bro
it's still a nice car! will the electronics be reliable?
They don't have the best track record with electronics, but it's cheap and easy to upgrade

Not had any issues with the motors on these, or the smaller 144... they are pretty good
Do you need to supply double a batery
Do they have upgrade on this yet??
If you could only have 1, this or the 144001 ???
Probably this, longer chassis mean more space
What is the total wheelbase and trackwidth of it?
