Nice review. I've owned this bad boy since its presage on Gearbest back in May 2016. I ran it pretty hard for about 4 months daily until I shred both differentials. Fixed that but still decommissioned until I get to fix the back shaft as it flew off some months back. The point I'm trying to make here it's a great runner for the money but stock up in parts so it keeps going
i have 2 of the 12428's and they are a lot of fun. You left out the biggest part which is that is has a 540 motor..... which gives it a decent amount of power and speed. unfortunately the plastic Dif gears are the weakness. oh and not waterproof. drove it in the rain, fried ESC and servo :( 2 weeks in and both are TKO 1 with the ESC/Servo the other with a stripped rear diff. Put about 30 packs though both rigs (about)
At 6:55 I mention it has a 540 motor. Haven't stripped the diff gears on this one yet and was just running it hard again today. I did mess up the gears on the 12404 which I think runs the same diff gears with a 550 motor. I'll have to look into upgrading the diffs.how many times have you mess up the diffs?
oh, sorry..... i watched but was playing RL some of the time and maybe i just wasn't listen closely 1st time with the difs..... but they are only 3 weeks old so. I'm okay replacing them, just waiting for my order from CN to come. :(
We can get a full compliment of metal upgrades for this in China. Alloy arms, shocks, links, upgraded gears etc. And since it's a 540 sized can, it's easy to upgrade the motor.
I wonder if you can make one of these into a small trail runner if it would handle some crawling and mud if you locked the diffs and used a slow motor in it.
Thanks I don't think it would need to be to strong for running at slow trail runner speeds though...but the drive train should be a able to take some stress though.
Do you think this would be good for a like first RC car, also, is it waterproof and is it actually 50km/hour? I'm ok if it's less though! It looks awesome!
+Brin it's a decent first. There are a lot of upgrade parts available and it can run in most terrain. Not a great jumper, but handles small jumps alright. Batteries are cheap for these as well. I need to check on waterproof. Can't remember specifically for this. I wouldn't run any of these through deep water even if they say they are waterproof. For the lesser price, you aren't getting the same quality or attention to detail as a Traxxas or similar.
How come this one is not that popular while the green buggy twin hammer one is really popular? I love short course trucks even though I don't have any!
1:18 is really small. The one shown here is 1:12 and comparable in size to other 1:12 vehicles like the WLTOYS 12428. Maybe the wrong one was delivered?
Yeah i dont know what happened , she ended up keeping it after i even checked the order receipt. Its still an amazing little truck and cant beat it for the price i paid.
Got this one on the way now as well bro haha how did this one hold up over time? I see loads of sparss for this as well. Hope it holds up like the lil guys 🙏🙏👊
As an estimate, how long did it take to ship to And to get to you cause this one if from China and I found one on eBay pretty close to me, I want to see if I should get this one or the eBay one. Thanks! And nice video, obviously I'm subscribed and I liked!
+Brin thanks man. I've found it takes anywhere from 10-21 days depending on the day of the week you order. Typically I pay the $15 extra for the express shipping and get it from 4-7 days. Just cause I'm impatient. If you can get it from eBay with faster shipping... then that is your call. I go from there and amazon for parts on them
+rc mustsee you know I'm going to try to destroy it. 😂 I think the tail up is due to them putting a body on the same chassis as their rock racer 12428.
This truck run normally a 2s li-ion battery pack with is 2 18650 batteries. The max I think this truck can run is 2s lipo battery and you might have to trim the tray. If you have a 6 cell nickel that should also work and be in the correct power range fro this esc and motor
Maybe stop charging it when it starts to get warm and it's weird because sometimes you get usb charger or a us charger but the most common one is eu charger.
+Brin it is labeled as waterproof. It's a brushed motor, so that is fine, it really comes down to to wax/receiver combo. I didn't tear it apart to see if they conformal coated them or not. You should be safe in the rain. I wouldn't submerse it in water though.
hi how long can you play it for and how long you have to chrage the battry and how farst is it and how big is it and the length and is it farst a bit and powerful to do off road and is it good.dose it has any problem at all.plz send backhow big is the motor and length in munber plz send back. the red car rc
+Smithesh N you can adjust the ring on the shock bodies, change the weight of the shock oil, or change the springs to stiffen the suspension. Usually in these trophy trucks you'll have somewhat soft suspension to allow them to soak up the bumps. For the height, you could adjust the ring on the shocks up to allow it to sit lower or get shorter springs, but it they may bottom out quicker.
It is running 2s LiPo already. 3s will burn it up. You could try to find a batter with a higher C rating, but that will only be a small bump. Best bet is to change the pinion gear to get more speed.
Thank you for your response & insight. I do have a question for another rc I have. I have a Feiyue Fy06 6x6 112 2.4gHz 6wd would a 5000 amp battery be too much of an upgrade for the battery for this RC because it comes with a 3000 amp factory battery. Please let me know.
any car will roll over if driven improperly. Just don't drive like my 7 year old son who is full on throttle at all times. Watch me drive it in this video... ruclips.net/video/nZTsVJytx4Q/видео.html
Hey tony thought you should know this guy stole part of your unboxing of this and part of your run footage and mixed it with his footage ExpertTuNa is the channel go check it out thought you might like to know
I was really looking something at least this big in this price range.. and I am ready to wait for your review on both of this and will decide which one to buy.. I really liked the other one (12404).
Maybe so whoever is putting it together doesn't forget and mess it up lol. j/k, I don't know why they would print it on the motor except for reference perhaps. One way to tell is if you are ever really bored...count the teeth :)

The point I'm trying to make here it's a great runner for the money but stock up in parts so it keeps going
I have the green buggy version of this and I love having a metal skid plate for hard impacts, and no bumper with the lights mounted to the hood
I get that...but this is way easier to access the internals. No screws involved.
I saw that if you don't do it at full speed the whole time, let lasts like 20mins!
looks like a great rc ! can you tell if its like a glass filled plastic composet or regular plastic parts. is it full parts supported
Just purchased this from GearBest (on sale). Can not wait to get it, I do have mod plans in the works. Thanks for the review.
Cool! What mods do you have planned?
Metal upgrades, wheels/tires, motor and most likely electronics. So many affordable parts out there.
i have 2 of the 12428's and they are a lot of fun. You left out the biggest part which is that is has a 540 motor..... which gives it a decent amount of power and speed.

Any actual oil filled shocks available for this
perfect scale for my Lil backyard track!...let's plan a beach bash in the near future.
Vaughan Heilman that sounds cool! Haven't done a beach run before.
oh, and dont try 3s...destroyed my drivetrain. Also the upgrade shocks for these (and Feiyue) are better, but recommend finding another option.
Did the video repeat at like 1:55
Yeah i noticed that
Take 2...
Yes it did
Yea it did. Lol
You may have traveled in time. I know all about that
Will the wltoys a979-b Aluminum shock towers fit on the sort corse truck
Can it run in sand? When I drove the gp toys rirder 5, it broke but Idk if it was cause wet sand or sand.
What is better, the short corce truck or the other car
Those would be fun to upgrade with some better Dampers, ESC and Motor and Servo 😁
What model is that 1/18th wl truck? also at 10:34 it looks like the 1/18 truck has the same size width tires as the 1/12?
decent little cars they do have 1 8th scale but they are hard to find and usually run 180
Excellent , very good rc , nice look !!
Very good 👍
I wonder if you can make one of these into a small trail runner if it would handle some crawling and mud if you locked the diffs and used a slow motor in it.
shenlonco That's a cool idea! I'm really excited on how durable it is!😀
Thanks I don't think it would need to be to strong for running at slow trail runner speeds though...but the drive train should be a able to take some stress though.
that is a good question. I see a lot of people using the Rock Racer version of this on trails like a Twin Hammer
wonder if you can put some 1.9 size tires on it? how tall are the stock tires?
CCxRC can you make it like a prerunner / trophy truck version that does wheelies? lol
I am at now waiting this cool car.
Can I use 2-3s lipo for this sct?
Does this truck have proportional steering? I know the 6 wheel WL toys doesn't
Nice unboxing, Tony 👍
Do you think this would be good for a like first RC car, also, is it waterproof and is it actually 50km/hour? I'm ok if it's less though! It looks awesome!

How come this one is not that popular while the green buggy twin hammer one is really popular? I love short course trucks even though I don't have any!
Brin I don't know why the other one is more popular. I prefer the short course look
I found a upgrade lipo battery for $30 and it was 3000 mah, other better batteries can fit right? It was for the 12423 and it is a dean style plug.
Brin I'm not sure if that will fit. The compartment isn't very big.
Nice review! The body looks similar to the "Rayline Funrace 03 Short Course truck"! :)
+RC Showdown haven't heard of that truck. I do dig the look of this.
CCxRC I think it looks pretty cool, too! =) When you do a running video, could you may show thew sound of the car in a scene (gearbox and Motor)? :)
I got one and it was 1/18th scale , i was not happy. Advertised as a 1/12.
1:18 is really small. The one shown here is 1:12 and comparable in size to other 1:12 vehicles like the WLTOYS 12428. Maybe the wrong one was delivered?
Yeah i dont know what happened , she ended up keeping it after i even checked the order receipt. Its still an amazing little truck and cant beat it for the price i paid.
Looks pretty good. mini Twin Hammers :)
Would a titan 12t motor give this thing a lot more power?
Got this one on the way now as well bro haha how did this one hold up over time? I see loads of sparss for this as well. Hope it holds up like the lil guys 🙏🙏👊
Hi friend, are the 12423 parts compatible with 12404?
I am confusing about the mode on controller what was the function if it?
Looks sweet, nice little rig.
definitely looks cool. Hoping it performs well
I have a question, can fit in 12423 the body of the 12428?
Yes. need to buy the post's
Is the esc waterprof?

nice review!
thanks for sharing
+RC Team Austria thanks buddy
looks like you got what you paid for. not bad for the $ but i don't see it lasting through a bash. plus whats up with that tail-up stance?
+rc mustsee you know I'm going to try to destroy it. 😂 I think the tail up is due to them putting a body on the same chassis as their rock racer 12428.
Will this battery tray accommodate a 6 cell nickel metal hydride pack? Looks like there might be room.
This truck run normally a 2s li-ion battery pack with is 2 18650 batteries. The max I think this truck can run is 2s lipo battery and you might have to trim the tray. If you have a 6 cell nickel that should also work and be in the correct power range fro this esc and motor
It it fully waterproof
that's pretty cool Tony not bad all man
+Roy Nelson it looks very cool. Runs pretty good too. I think I need to tune the shocks a bit so the backend doesn't kick so much off jumps
Oh yeah brother I totally agree and I think that thing is going to be pretty damn cool can't wait to see you get it out and do some jumps and speed
Is it water proof??
can you review wltoys 12428?
Do a review on the feiyue 6x6
Hi friend, which of these is faster, the wltoys model 12404 or the wltoys 12423?
I would say the 12423...but I would also steer clear of the 12404. The diffs blow out way too fast
Help i got the USB charger and how do i see its fully loaded the akku
Maybe stop charging it when it starts to get warm and it's weird because sometimes you get usb charger or a us charger but the most common one is eu charger.
Is it actually water proof? can i drive it around when its raining?
+Brin it is labeled as waterproof. It's a brushed motor, so that is fine, it really comes down to to wax/receiver combo. I didn't tear it apart to see if they conformal coated them or not. You should be safe in the rain. I wouldn't submerse it in water though.
Is the 12428 parts fit for this module too? All of them?
+Eran Rotman I don’t know. Most should
hi how long can you play it for and how long you have to chrage the battry and how farst is it and how big is it and the length and is it farst a bit and powerful to do off road and is it good.dose it has any problem at all.plz send backhow big is the motor and length in munber plz send back. the red car rc
What is the type of the biggest car?
I tripped at 1:56👾
Can we adjust the rear suspension stiffness and height in this car?
+Smithesh N you can adjust the ring on the shock bodies, change the weight of the shock oil, or change the springs to stiffen the suspension. Usually in these trophy trucks you'll have somewhat soft suspension to allow them to soak up the bumps. For the height, you could adjust the ring on the shocks up to allow it to sit lower or get shorter springs, but it they may bottom out quicker.
Quick question for anybody out there, Would these tyres work well on my Wltoys a969 1/18 rc car?
flamehawk189 these tires would be big on the a969.
nice it really good!😀
Cant the shock be filled oil?
I was wondering what size of battery I would need to upgrade the speed without burning out engine
It is running 2s LiPo already. 3s will burn it up. You could try to find a batter with a higher C rating, but that will only be a small bump. Best bet is to change the pinion gear to get more speed.
Thank you for your response & insight. I do have a question for another rc I have. I have a Feiyue Fy06 6x6 112 2.4gHz 6wd would a 5000 amp battery be too much of an upgrade for the battery for this RC because it comes with a 3000 amp factory battery. Please let me know.
Is this upgradable ?
Wait are the shocks really oil filled?
No they are not they don't have rubber o rings to stop the oil leaking. Eady fix to add o rings or loads of upgrades available 😎
Should i buy this ( the 12423 trophy truck ) or the 12428 buggy?
You should get the 12423
Please do a review on the L939 by WLtoys
cheers bro....👍
I'm going to get one of these things so that I don't have to bash up and destroy my slash
+Anthony Dwyer they are fun, but a lot different handling than you slash
Is it water rsest?
can you upgrade it to stop rolling over?
any car will roll over if driven improperly. Just don't drive like my 7 year old son who is full on throttle at all times. Watch me drive it in this video... ruclips.net/video/nZTsVJytx4Q/видео.html
wait that is waterproof?
Just incase you were wondering, this is NOT faster than the traxxas slash!
It’s definitely smaller and slower.
I had a few 1:12 scale truck I loved it........till I broke it by jumping a curb
+RCMUSCLE 1 ouch. Curbs and RC cars is not a good mix
I wish I could get one:(
Hey tony thought you should know this guy stole part of your unboxing of this and part of your run footage and mixed it with his footage ExpertTuNa is the channel go check it out thought you might like to know
why u not posting vids of this car now
I'm not posting videos anymore because I gave it away. It's a great truck and still running strong for the family I gave it to.
Not a LiPO Battery LITHIUM ION
Dont think he knows the real terms but nice truck
This can take lot of abuse and it wont broke easily. but gears are plastic and the rear drive shaft. those are the weak points
Can you or someone give me a link to these upgrade parts or any upgrade parts for this 12423 truck?
ishanka tharika P
Sishanka tharika
That is not a lipo battery that is a Lithium-Ion
looking for a 1:12 4WD something in this price range...
+Smithesh N if it rides like the popular WLTOYS 12428, it should be a tough little rig.
I was really looking something at least this big in this price range.. and I am ready to wait for your review on both of this and will decide which one to buy.. I really liked the other one (12404).
top speed?
drewchef bout 25-30 I think
2:01 ummmm are my eyes going crazy or did you unbox 2?
Brin actually. It is an editing mistake. Somehow I had it restart again during the video edit
CCxRC ok lol
Blame Vicodin!
Am I the only one who seen two unboxing?
뭐라고하시는지 모르겠다 영어를 잘 몰라서
looks a lot like a traxxas slash
The body does, but the rear suspension is way different
18/72 sounds like a gear ratio
Or rather a pinion and spur tooth count..not a ratio.
+Ryan Smith interesting. Wonder why they would print that on the motor can?
Maybe so whoever is putting it together doesn't forget and mess it up lol. j/k, I don't know why they would print it on the motor except for reference perhaps. One way to tell is if you are ever really bored...count the teeth :)
I'KOREAN GOOD☺
No u mean udr
It wasn’t out when this video was released.
@@CCxRC i know
@@CCxRC so its more like the axial yetI
Haha. Yup. Or twin hammers
@@CCxRC phh i forgot about the twin hammers
junk
+Mac Mccartney depends what you are comparing it to. I thought it ran pretty well today. Especially if it is entry level into the RC hobby.
