Great run Phil! It’s epic little car! But I think the highlight of this video was you doing the tire thing. With that meaning you standing that tire up on its tread. That was entertainment at its best!!
Weird thing but I love how they're changing the color of the shock mounts from that ugly bronze to that nice gray. Nice review- as always. have a good one Tom!

Yes. It's definitely faster with the brushless setup but the most important thing is no cogging issue now. I'm looking forward for the 104002 video bro. 👍
Yes! Got mine! It came with a longer length 2s battery which I thought was cool. Charging as I type. Rear wheel camber and front wheel toe in needed a tweak. Haven't checked the diffs yet but they feel loose so I'll give them a grease.
loopy🍩's 🤣😂😁👍 great review pal was great meeting you today shame I missed seeing ur mog take on the trails will look forward to seeing the footage you got 😊🙋♂️
One of my favourite rc cars! The phat bodies mini shell and some 1/10th touring car wheels make this a great little mini stock and the longer chassis version makes an awesome budget friendly Rallycross car with the kamtec saxo body (only body I've found to fit perfectly so far with a bit of extra camber) but looks awesome and scale . Phat bodies also do a baja truck body to fit the 124018 chassis so the possibilities are endless with these great little cars 👍
Its a nice buggy but i already have one, its called the 124017. This is just smaller , less stable, and admittedly better looking. But its just a small 124017. To be fair though, im sure this is a blast to drive. It certainly is cheap. I would maybe get one for my kid.
Trigger lag is something that annoys with this unit but replacing the tx rx with dumborc will make it manageable. If you want to go away 100% then the esc's gotta go too.
The LC racing bumpers fit this perfectly and it really helps. I love it and will destroy my Reflex-14b around my tennis court track. I put on the anti roll bars and swapped the stock off road tires and it helps with flipping lol. For the money it’s awesome.
Bought my son 1/14 scale wltoys truck. That thing would back flip as soon as you pulled the trigger. Way over sized motor. Had a ton of fun until i decided to run it on our large deck in the snow. Fried the esc.
Fella got a ftx tracer on 3s but had too upgrade too all metal drive prop shaft and all metal bearings from a bezgar 6 oil shocks on standard electrics 390 motor its a point shoot car .
I think the motor problem at the end might be from that “metal” chassis flexing a bit too much. The metal chassis is right up there with their “metal” gears. Better than a sharp stick in the eye, but, ….
I like the fact you deliberately drive it into the curb to show any weak spots... I deliberately can't drive my RC's for toffee to make others around me look like better drivers...
Hi, I know I am late to the party, but I want to buy one of these. I have a charger and and I'd like to purchase the car and batteries separately. I would like to use all the space I can after moving that tray piece back. First of all I am a fan from the states (your channel rocks!) and I'd be buying on Amazon. I want it fast, reliable, lasts long, and has Dean's plug already on it (no soldering! ) and I don't want to smoke the esc anytime soon. That being said, what are your recommendations? 2s or 3s, brand, capacity ratings? I don't know enough about batteries yet! Thank you!
The newest version of this car (2024) comes besides the new (red) transmitter additionally with a new ESC. It looks almost identical like the one of 124017 (v2) but it has a black heatsink, a green board and a waterproof switch. It is not programmable with the grey or the black surpass card. Does anyone know which ESC this is? Unfortunately it brakes automatically after 3 seconds when coasting out with no throttle. Very annoying :-(
That tyre 🤣 Interestingly I have seen that motor do exactly the same for another reviewer who flipped and cart-wheeled. Hopefully not a new weakness although most things would break something
Hi would you recomend me buy this car for speedruns (im looking for the best one for under £150 so please let me know if there is any other car that you recommend under £150 that ship to uk? I live in uk)
Hello. I currently have the wl 144001, I want to level up,. I have a very large garden where I run it since there are no tracks nearby and I was thinking of buying the 144010 or 124007 or 124017 or 124019, which would be in my case the best option, I appreciate your comment. Thank you
Hello. I have just bought one of these but it only comes with 1 battery and instructions say it only lasts 8 mins. Any advice on buying spare batteries? And which to buy that would fit and could maybe last a little longer?
Hi everyone - i just got a brand new WLTOYS 144010 and stupidly when wanting to start it I plugged in the white battery connector cable (used to charge battery) instead of the deans cable (red). Some cables started smoking right after and melted. The car starts, engine runs but steering does not work. Would appreciate any support here 🙏🏻 do i need to replace the servo, the mother board or something else?
I can't figure out what the mode button on the transmitter does. There is no change to anything when I push it. There is nothing about it in the manual.
@@TomleyRC okay thank you my friend. Cool so maybe if I plug something into the third channel on the receiver, this button will do something. Like maybe lights
Still got the brushless one, it’s great fun and very lively, have thought about upgrading it to brushless but it’s been so reliable I’m still holding off. Good to see them developing the cars they make and still relatively budget friendly .
Wow a nice fast little buggy, the shocks look amazing, but it’ll be cool if WL tech make some bigger ones, since their 1/10 scale is still a bit small 😅
That TA car seems pretty decent, but the LC racing ones are probably better. Love to see a very detailed 14th scale buggy comparison... and a 12th scale one too. Need some lap times and which parts are interchangeable.
@@RickOAA I used to fly the bigger helicopters (600 and 700 size.). but the costs of the crashes are just way to high. I only fly smaller helicopters now 250 size and smaller and they are so much fun to fly, and pretty fast too. Gonna pick up a M2 Explorer next month.. can't wait heard so much good things about them. You fly?
@Boy-Named-Zoen Yeah, man, just the little guys. I started with a coaxial Walkera 4G6 years ago. Current using an Eachine E119. Also have a Hubsan X4C quadcopter, an XK J-11 3CH fighter, and a 4CH Volantex T-28 Trojan. They're all cheap, but tough and highly entertaining.
Will the 144001 body fit on it? There's something about that color scheme that I love. It's like the rc car from the movie toys that i always wanted as a kid except it's a real life grown up version that you imagined it to be. Or maybe im just crazy 🤪
@@TomleyRC hell it's cool enough as it is. After much indecision I think this is the buggy for me. Thanks for your reviews! Really helps making a choice much easier
@bcaapower lol. You can disassemble and reassemble the WLToys cars for a fraction of the cost of Tamiya if that's what floats your boat. Plus you can get spare or upgrade parts easily and very cheap.
@@stevelampard I want to build them , not disassemble. But I agree, Tamiya is overpriced and I think it is riding on a wave of nostalgia, as many companies in Japan (I live there). I started RC last month with Tamiya kit, but seeing you can get much better performance for cheaper, I'll switch to other brands. Anyway, now I im interested in crawlers and found that WPL sells crawler kits. Do you happen to know any other brands with crowler kits?
Only problem is I'm in the us, I brake this thing and it will take FOREVER to get the replacement parts... I like it though... id love to race this thing with my dynamite 2s brushless mini that would be fun....
The tire loops had me 😁 Glad to see this back to form. Great shots too!
I’ve watched several of your videos now but just so you know it was the little hand pointer that pushed me over the edge to push the subscribe button.
haha... I'm hoping to sell some custom ones in the future 😅
Great run Phil! It’s epic little car! But I think the highlight of this video was you doing the tire thing. With that meaning you standing that tire up on its tread. That was entertainment at its best!!
It's very refreshing to see a cheaper RC get close to the manufacturers quoted top speed! 👍
Haha cause lord knows Traxxas doesn't lol. U need 3s geared to the moon down hill with the wind behind it lol
Hi. I hope you see this message. Can i use a hobby wing 60A Esc with the stock motor?

Thanks Fred, I don’t make them as long anymore as a lot of people click off before e end.. but glad you enjoy them 😎
Ordered! Cannot wait for this. Loved the original
Just ordered one yesterday after watching this video. Thanks for the review Tomley RC

Yes. It's definitely faster with the brushless setup but the most important thing is no cogging issue now. I'm looking forward for the 104002 video bro. 👍
Yes… seems all good 👌
Theres a lit of good upgrade parts. Id recommend changing the shocks to all metal. The tops are plastic and can break easy

Was John Robinson RC . His motor came apart
That's the second video I've seen where the motor has came apart. 👍👍
Yes… just seen that
Much better than a Kevin Talbot review.
awesome vid. Just won this car on temu so looking forward to giving it a run....
Pretty impressive bug indeed, Tomley! 😃
But damn... That knock hurts! 😬
Did the motor mount brake?
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Looks like just the can on the motor came off 👌
The car comes with 1 1500mah battery....ive seen 3800mah batterys...will they run ok in this car without any issues....
Great job Tomley. This car is awesome and the price is too. 👍
I've heard that the lcracing 14 scale axle shafts fit the wltoys(hardened steel), should be alot stronger.
They do. Not all parts fit, but most of them can or after some small adjustment.
Yes, some parts are interchangeable some not… as I found out with the EMB-T
@@TomleyRC its a xk not wltoys
@@G-DAC XK is WL Toys
@@skree_fpv436 oh I didn't know that
The pointing hand prop is SOOO hilarious :)
Haha… I still laugh when I’m editing it
This, the larger version 124017 or the mtx hyper go brushless on 3s? 🤔 Any ideas
That handy hand , made my day.
Hahahah
It drifts really well, in the dirt with stock tires
Whats the black truck in the background at 3:52? what became of that?
My son's had so much fun with the original car, this would be a good upgrade, as and when it expires! Nice colour, too. 👍🏻
The LC racing bumpers fit this perfectly and it really helps. I love it and will destroy my Reflex-14b around my tennis court track. I put on the anti roll bars and swapped the stock off road tires and it helps with flipping lol. For the money it’s awesome.
Nice 🤘
Weird. Mine is cogging... Not as much as the V1 did, but certainly noticeable.
I didn’t notice any at all? Not even in the grass… just a slight delay on the throttle
So are these cheaper chinese products not durable enough then? Was it a motor replacement..and anything else thanks
Wltoys nailed it with this basher!
Bought my son 1/14 scale wltoys truck. That thing would back flip as soon as you pulled the trigger. Way over sized motor. Had a ton of fun until i decided to run it on our large deck in the snow. Fried the esc.
Love mine I'm not even gonna modify it as I think it's pretty much perfect . Also seems stronger than the old one
Yeah, fine straight out the box 👌
Have u noticed the bodyshell is just an eshine but put on the other way arround
Btw that battery charger... Mine that came with a EAT14 charged like 15% per hour or something.
Yeah, not the quickest. Best to get a proper charger
Great video. Sorry, do you know if it has water proof electronics? I need one for my kid', and he plays in a park with water. Thank you a lot. :D
I wonder why they don't grease it already 🤔
Hi! What app are you using to measure the speed? Great video btw 😃
The 124017 I bought this week has that transmitter as well.
what about the traxxas e revo 1/16?
idk if that counts cause its smaller
Not sure how fast that is out the box… but yeah, 1/16 👍
Can you post a video with an esc programme card plugged into this car to see if you can tweak the throttle response?
Did. you find out of the throttle Delay can be fixed? Thinking if this or the brushed Version
Ive had some hard landings with this rc car. It holds up well. Its tough and durable.
Fella got a ftx tracer on 3s but had too upgrade too all metal drive prop shaft and all metal bearings from a bezgar 6 oil shocks on standard electrics 390 motor its a point shoot car .
I think the motor problem at the end might be from that “metal” chassis flexing a bit too much. The metal chassis is right up there with their “metal” gears. Better than a sharp stick in the eye, but, ….
Possibly… although the chassis is still straight 👌
On 3S? Definitely would require a car gyro for me to keep it in anything like a straight line!
Keep the great content coming Mr T.
Thanks
Yes… will be crazy on 3s!
Cracking view lifting the tyre 😂
Haha.. poor angle… just a shadow. Completely family friendly 😅
I like the fact you deliberately drive it into the curb to show any weak spots... I deliberately can't drive my RC's for toffee to make others around me look like better drivers...
HI Phil I can't wait until I get myself and my sister's son ours. LOADS of cheep fun🇬🇧✌🏼👍🏼

looks like 32p gears?

What is the motor you used in your speedrun wltoys 144001,is it brushless?

I can't decide between this, the 124016 v2 or the 124017 v2??? Please help me decide lol
Hey nice video, was wondering if it's controller has throttle D/R and if it can bind with the 1/28 truck they put out...!
What battery did u use would like to upgrade mine. Great video
1500 mah CNHL (link in description)
hey is there anyone who has tips on how to minimize throttle delay, can i do anything with esc setting I have surpass programming card ??
I can’t see anyway to calibrate the ESC, which is annoying. I did try adjusting the punch but it made no difference
What aspect makes a battery higher or lower quality?
Had real bad delay on my throttle, (fixed by changing to a different rx and radio). My servo isn't the best at centering either.
This guy an Kevin Tolbert are the best RC you Tubers bye far 😎
Thanks dude… appreciate it
Agreed, love watching both!
Detailed damage report would be interesting.
man which is better this model or 124016 v2 ?
I can't figure out what the mode button on the transmitter does. There is no change to anything when I push it. There is nothing about it in the manual.
They do nothing on this one. They are for their old 4WS Mini Crawler.... it was the 4WS modes

I’m undecided to take these 2 cars
How long does the battery last 1500,2600 ?

That's a hell of a note when a buggy needs a wheely bar. And since it doesn't it uses it's wing as if its a wheely bar lol . Cool video 👍
Wow a nice fast little buggy, the shocks look amazing, but it’ll be cool if WL tech make some bigger ones, since their 1/10 scale is still a bit small 😅
