One thing with this buggy & the desert truck that people have recommended too fix is the shock oil is a bit overfilled on two shocks usually that are stiffer then the others. (gets a sort of hydro lock situation where its suddenly a very harsh stop in it's travel. It's an easy fix though, empty out a little bit of it & then press the shock about half way down as you fill it up again & seal it back up.) So it's really stiff & the diffs don't have enough or any grease in them. The wheelnut thing on the older 144001 was fixed already nearly the same month by getting longer shafts with more thread on them during production, so it actually goes through the wheelnut the same as this new version. And scale wise this is 1:14th scale still it's a longer chassis similar too the lc racing 1:14th scale short course truck & desert buggy.
Just a heads up. WLToys naming scheme uses the first two digits as the scale. 12428 is 1/12 scale, same as this one. 10428 is their 1/10 scale version of the 12428, etc... Great video guys! I get that feeling every time I bring out my 12428 that I've now upgraded to brushless. But this little buggy really screams for a brushed motor.
This car is the same as the 144001, just with an extended wheelbase-longer chassis, center driveshaft, and chassis brace. They share the majority of the other parts. They’re both wonderful cars!
That's pretty impressive! And you are right, it doesn't need any upgrades! I think that brushless upgrade would be way too much power, and you would just spin the wheels and be basically uncontrollable. Fun video!
Just bought this for my 9 year old kid. He loves jumping it. He broke the wing off within the second run, but it is built really strong. Love the aluminum shocks and chassis. FYI, if you look ahead of the car by about 10-15 ft you can do course corrections smoother, so that you can hit that ramp nice and fast. Also if you have a 3d printer or wish to buy one, I designed and printed a battery lock that gets locked into the chassis with dowels. Haven’t lost the battery since.
I have just ordered mine today, and can't wait to get it. My son and I used to run these rc cars, but then he discovered girls which was over 30 years ago. But after watching this video I just had to get back into this sport. Your excitement and enthusiasm is contagious!
My son and I have enjoyed this buggy so much. Such good quality for a cheaper RC. We have abused the poor thing also. Thanks so much for the recommendation. Only RC things I have bought are from your recommendations. Y'all have given us a hobby that my son and I can enjoy together.
I know you love your true to scale models, any chance you can do a series for scale boats, like the Titanic model you tested, but maybe some warships and motorised sail boats too? Would be very much appreciated Keep the good stuff coming
a comparison wit the losi 1/16 scale buggy be cool cuz really there not that far apat in price 115 vs 149 for the what extra 34 dollar differnce i think i just go with the losi
I’ve just purchased one , just got to wait for it to be delivered, until then I have to re-re-re-re watch this video and live vicariously through you 😂
AWESOME buggy and agree with most of what you said!! THIS buggy drives like on "controlled ice"! ! I DO have the 144001 & I have to say is most FUN RC of this type! Battery slings out often! I WOULD definitely get this buggy!! Abby, think of the RAMP as the only puddle around!! I have to think mine IS FLAT!! Thanks Saylors for introducing me a SUPER COOL buggy!! 💟👍😘
I asked for this for my birthday after watching this video. This is my first r/c since the 80s and the kid in me is loving it! I do find it runs quite warm but I have nothing to compare it to so that may be normal. I have been eyeing up brushless components to upgrade it but may just pick up a 124017 down the road.
Hi Guys. Just wanted to wish your family a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. By watching your channel this year, i have purchased 3 RC's. JJRC M02 VTOL, WLtoys WL915 Boat and the 124019 RC Buggy. Now my family are like the Navy, covering Air, Sea and Land. God Bless You, family of 3. Thanks for the reviews. Jose NYC
I just got the 124017v2 it is awesome! But does not Like the grass,Tires bite so well it will flip and popped the front end apart.Pops back together.Better suited for a dirt track.Great Buggie for the price.
Great video and you do compare it with the 144001. It did take a bashing and that is what people may like out of the box RTR. I got one. Far out you smashed it around off the ramp. I just got into RC cars. I'm not seeing much info on how to keep up the maintenance. I would like to find a forum for RC advice. Great videos thank you TheRCSaylors. I like your honesty. For a bash around it looks good as and a great review. Cheers from AU.
We usually sell them to local friends at about 50-60% retail value or donate them to local facilities that help the community like Police Stations, Fire Stations, EMS, and around this time of year we make donations to Giving Tree or Angel Tree organizations to help kids have a nicer Christmas 🎄😁⚓
Correction. The wife tried to take down a concrete wall with it and now I had to order new axles and shocks and replace the whole front end. Less than 2 hours of having it!!! Lmao
FYI!For the guys that have the 1/16th scale Axial CanAm the WL makes perfect brushless upgrade kit and is fast👍just add a Spectrum receiver and easy upgrade💪
Another good one for WLToys! We have a 12428 and it's great. They are edging more toward true hobby grade RC stuff, and their prices are very reasonable.
I said screw it and put a 3s in the stock electronics in a video. It survived. Now it's brushless. Foam tires came today. Speed test coming. It definitely handles better.
Nate, I thought Abby was gonna give ya a run for the money for the durability test but you bashed it and it took it...You win lol. Except for the battery being thrown out, I think 2 thumbs up is a fair call. Great vid as always 👍❤
Woot!! Yes!! I finally win at a ground vehicle 💥💯 Haha, thanks! Yeah this thing just felt like it was made for me or something. Really like this RC 👍😎⚓
The chassis a little longer and all the parts for the 144001 are interchangeable so if you. Own 144001 you might just want to buy the chassis and body. me personally I'm going to get the buggy ☝
Very eager to hear how the Desert Buggy version compares to this. I’m sure the differences will be small but the aesthetics on the desert buggy appeal more to me. Does the roll cage push up the CG drastically and cause it to roll easier?
Nate! Do you “really like it?!?!?” 😂😂👍🏻. Just to be clear, it’s the same as the 144001 except it’s longer. Same diffs , suspension, shock towers, etc. the chassis, drive shaft and upper brace is longer. That’s all. And these diffs are shimmed to help prevent them from stripping , which was a problem with the 144001. If you keep it, I highly recommend you open both diffs and grease them. Have fun!!!
I have the 144001 and it has so many problems, it's the same vehicle with a shorter chassis making it 1/14 😢 I'm actually scrapping them for repairing my LC Racing vehicles for whatever parts fit like the suspension parts and wheels and the bodies and wing if I convert any of the trucks to a buggy. I would be tempted to get this RC, it looks really nice but amongst my 3 WL and my 5 LC RCs my WLToys RCs all have gear issues, they were very fast at first but now grind like crazy which is a real bummer. I hope that they will make some improvements as they have a lot of potential so do the LC cars.
@M J I've noticed this as well, it's still a great channel though and they do awesome reviews. I think some people have just had better luck with certain products than others.
I think people are actually missing the whole point of this video and the hobby completely. I’m subscribed and followed the Rc Saylors on Instagram, they put a good amount of effort to make videos so people don’t buy something that’s not worth your hard-earned-money. It’s great that a company or brand made a hobby more affordable as well as it being fun, you’ll be more happy knowing that you have spent a small amount of money for this much fun as you would with rc car that was two or three times more of that amount. I hope you, Nate and Abby, keep on making amazing content like this. :) -Alpha Studio Production
Not seen a review yet that doesn't heap praise and that colour scheme just looks amazing for the "cheap" cars. These clones keep improving but the extra room will keep you busy with those upgrades 😀
Hey Nate and Abby, I’ve seen some other videos on this rc and they have had troubles with the esc overheating when running on a softer surface like grass or sand. Have you heard of this or had any issues after filming of this video? Just value you opinion, thanks.
No problems from this specific site that we have linked. Expect slow shipping (three weeks average) but don't be surprised if it takes one week. Always get what we order! Hope this helps! Have an awesome day 😁👍😎⚓
Just love wltoys buggies, they are just awesome RC's. I'm lucky enough to have two 144001s and I run them every chance I can. I'll be adding more to my colection soon. Great video, thanks for sharing. John
Very cool John! We've had that buggy before and never have good luck with it. Soft metal almost always bends on the shock tower. Any advice? BTW, we think you'll love what we have planned for our channel very soon! 👍😁😎⚓
@@TheRcSaylors Maybe you just had a bad one. I jump mine in my garden landing on grass, I've not bent anything yet. Both cars have jumped hundreds of six foot plus jumps. Only thing I've done is soften the suspension a little. Be safe and well guys. John
Some advice for all 144 and 124 owners: - Check diffs and put differential grease in them - Refill shocks with 1000cps (60 weight shock oil). I used Traxxas brand - Buy 2 spare diffs (trust me, you wanna do this) -Buy metal wheel nuts -Buy offroad tires from aliexpress for more grip (they cost about $10 for a set) A CHEAP 2600mAh battery will run for about 5~8 minutes. An A brand 5000-5500mAh battery will run for about 25~30 minutes. Also, if you currently own a 144001, you can convert it to a 124019 once the spare chassis, center driveshaft and chassis bridge go online ;) Have fun!
So Nice!!!!! You should use this ramp more times! I have the same ramp and a big one (same style, plastic, but wider and higher by kryptonite). The small one is almost impossible to hit if you do not behind the ramp (with 1/14 or 1/12 scale), but the big one is easier and much more funny!
I am new at this hobby I want to upgrade my 124019 to brushless... So that’s maybe 80kmh fast what do I need? Engine... 3S oder 2S??? Servo?? What’s this??? New tires?
@@TheRcSaylors Yay! I'm looking for an entry level rc that can do a little off road like grass and gravel for around $100. Would this be your choice for that or do you have any other suggestions? I've been binging your videos haha
theres also a Comunity on FaceBook called "WLToys RC Mexico" where we share pictures, experiences and upgrades about the Wltoys cars , most populars by now 144001, 12428, 12429 and A979B un that order
Well if you got a class that runs the same specs maybe, it's a bit unbalanced on one side due too the motor weight but the longer chassis does improve the handling a bit.
I got one and i was wondering if it is waterproof and if it can drive in the snow and be fine. Also if it is not waterproof is there a way you dry it out to make it not rust.
I have these seen these things run in slush and ice. I have seen the internals packed with ice. Just remove the body, shake out the ice and let it dry out indoors. You can use a blow dryer as well. Rust isn’t really an issue. Everything is aluminum.
Did you guys do a speed test I’m thinking of getting it if it goes 31 mph like it says. Also awesome video keep up the good work can’t wait for another video
Newly subscribed and great full !!! I have purchased 4 rc’s that you have thrashed and convinced me with the information you presented!! I can say because if you both I now have been bitten by the rc bug and probably need counseling!!! Jk !! I now have 8 rc’s like the typhon 3s , Granite , 2 boats etc etc. thank you for your great videos . Oh btw , just received my 124019 and a959 !!!

i grabbed one of these 124019 cars, i love it! learned how to drift it and its awesome. had to rebuild it a few times though
Nate can hit that ramp very good considering i seen many guys that RC everyday and can't hit the ramp like that. Nice Ramping Skills
Thanks brother 🤜💥🤛
7:45 "if you hit right, it'll get the job done"
Awesomely fast little Buggy! And it's standing up to the beating! Now all you need is a indestructible fpv cam to go with it!
I have an A959B that is all metal that is the same motor, and stability control that is a beast!
I come for the RC, I stay for the cute chemistry between u 2 ❤
My favorite wl toys is the 12428 across 4wd. That things is so flexible it doesnt break.
I'd say that this is right up there to the performance of the Traxxas 1/10 scale 2wd drive brushless rustler. I'm very impressed
Based on video or do you have one
The purple coulor looks awesome

Cool little car! And that Desert Buggy looks SWEEEET!

Where would you suggest to get ramps
The chassis a little longer and all the parts for the 144001 are interchangeable so if you. Own 144001 you might just want to buy the chassis and body. me personally I'm going to get the buggy ☝
The description mentions a wrong product ID as 124919. It should be 124019.
The desert buggy is 124018 for those interested
Very eager to hear how the Desert Buggy version compares to this. I’m sure the differences will be small but the aesthetics on the desert buggy appeal more to me. Does the roll cage push up the CG drastically and cause it to roll easier?
Any chance you will get the Desert Buggy soon? I’d like to order it for Christmas but would like your opinion/review first.
Check out the review on the 124018 Desert Buggy on RUclips by Micko RC or by Tomley RC. It rocks!

How do you know if the voltage of the lipo is getting to low? Or the ESC knows and stop on 3.5v or so?
Holy $hit what a speed demon! In fact I don't thing I ever seen a brushed rc vehicle with that kind of speed. Heck I'm sold.
Wl toys and wpl always have really good cars for the money
how long does it run on full charge? and hows the range? how long it take to charge

Do you know if they fixed the grease on differential issues from the 1/14 version? Thanks!
From the sounds of it, no they have not. We will keep running ours stock to see how it holds up over time though. 👍😎⚓
CAN u buy that in Canada that buggy ur driving thst very fast buggy
As someone who bought the 144001, I was very dissapointed for 100 dollars. Bought two of them and the both differentials fell apart.
Adding to the fact I own a949 chassis. Besides not having bearings and a way to keep rocks out of the spur gears. They are great rc cars from wltoys.
Hey Nate and Abby, I’ve seen some other videos on this rc and they have had troubles with the esc overheating when running on a softer surface like grass or sand. Have you heard of this or had any issues after filming of this video? Just value you opinion, thanks.
They were suspecting a faulty esc. For a cheap rc these run amazing.
I love my losi mini 8t but I swear I'm always breaking rear diff covers.
That things quick I ve been upgrading my barrage gen 2 and traxxas rustler. Brushless is the way to go.
You guys are real rough on these things but I guess its a good way to test durability.
Why not use a corn toss as an ramp
You have any problems ordering from China? How long does it take to get the package?
No problems from this specific site that we have linked. Expect slow shipping (three weeks average) but don't be surprised if it takes one week. Always get what we order! Hope this helps! Have an awesome day 😁👍😎⚓

Some advice for all 144 and 124 owners:
- Check diffs and put differential grease in them
- Refill shocks with 1000cps (60 weight shock oil). I used Traxxas brand
- Buy 2 spare diffs (trust me, you wanna do this)
-Buy metal wheel nuts
-Buy offroad tires from aliexpress for more grip (they cost about $10 for a set)
A CHEAP 2600mAh battery will run for about 5~8 minutes. An A brand 5000-5500mAh battery will run for about 25~30 minutes.
Also, if you currently own a 144001, you can convert it to a 124019 once the spare chassis, center driveshaft and chassis bridge go online ;)
Have fun!
So Nice!!!!! You should use this ramp more times! I have the same ramp and a big one (same style, plastic, but wider and higher by kryptonite). The small one is almost impossible to hit if you do not behind the ramp (with 1/14 or 1/12 scale), but the big one is easier and much more funny!
I believe that's 1/12 scale, but Losi is better. Good vehicle and video.
Looks like a great buggy. You know im going to get one and rig it up with a brushless system :)
I am new at this hobby I want to upgrade my 124019 to brushless... So that’s maybe 80kmh fast what do I need? Engine... 3S oder 2S??? Servo?? What’s this??? New tires?
I want to order one but I don't want to wait weeks for it to arrive. I'll wait till they're fully stocked and ready to ship.
So amazing! I will be getting one of these in the future
This looks like a good buggy. This could be my first wltoys rc.
Nate, you need to revisit the 1/8 scale crawler and show the difflocks and the 2nd gear too.
Is it working till now
does this model have the delay
Wow! That looks so fun! And Abby's last ramp had me full belly laughing. 😂❤️⚓
Is it true that one battery last for 9 mins because I'm thinking about buying this.
The gold chassis reminds me of my Gold pan team associates rc10 from the mid late 80’s.
🤜💥🤛
Very cool 👍😎
Are you going to do a video on the desert buggy version too??
Yes, we placed an order for it the day after we drove this one 😁👍⚓😎
@@TheRcSaylors Yay! I'm looking for an entry level rc that can do a little off road like grass and gravel for around $100. Would this be your choice for that or do you have any other suggestions? I've been binging your videos haha
Near hobby grade at the $100 price point?!?!?! Fantastic!!! I’m grabbing one
Do you think you will get the new brushless version in for review?
Absolutely 💯 It is on preorder right now 👍😎⚓
@@TheRcSaylors wooooo! Can't wait to watch that vid. I also have it on pre order. Looking forward to hearing more info about shipping dates.
What’s the model number for the new brushless version?
@@vortkes4684 124017 👍
Turn the battery around maybe?
That might do the trick, but I have no problem with adding a little more velcro. I'll try your idea before I go adding velcro 🤜💥🤛
I never liked the wires sticking out the side either. Usually worked for me pulling it nice and tight too. Keep up the great content!! 🤘🤘
I would love to see some slo-mo's on the ramp runs.
Yeah, we need to do more slow motion for sure 😁👍⚓😎
Pound for Pound the best feel good vid!!
Thank you!! 👍😁😎⚓
theres also a Comunity on FaceBook called "WLToys RC Mexico" where we share pictures, experiences and upgrades about the Wltoys cars , most populars by now 144001, 12428, 12429 and A979B un that order
Would you use it for like carpet racing? Like stock buggy class
Yeah, this would be great for that 👍😎⚓
Well if you got a class that runs the same specs maybe, it's a bit unbalanced on one side due too the motor weight but the longer chassis does improve the handling a bit.
Ok. Now I gotta get one
Besides thd 12428 is a very different car from WL with a solid rear axle, which is also available as a clone by Feiyue, the FY-03.
I got one and i was wondering if it is waterproof and if it can drive in the snow and be fine. Also if it is not waterproof is there a way you dry it out to make it not rust.
I have these seen these things run in slush and ice. I have seen the internals packed with ice. Just remove the body, shake out the ice and let it dry out indoors. You can use a blow dryer as well. Rust isn’t really an issue. Everything is aluminum.
are parts easy to find?
Check on banggood I got one there and they have every single part
@@rchobbyenthusiast2151 how fast is it?

Did you guys do a speed test I’m thinking of getting it if it goes 31 mph like it says. Also awesome video keep up the good work can’t wait for another video
It will break 31mph with ease. Except 34 mph or even more.
