I Love this little car! Swapped the motor and esc, receiver and steering servo. OMG! 3s velineon system and mini e revo steering servo with dumbo transmitter.
Holy bejesus. I bet that thing rips
@Brandon S I did. Two broken traxxas. rustler 3s and 4x4 slash now 6s, rustler is for drag races and slash for road bashing and track-ish racing.
Might be cool to see this with drift tires on it. Surprising all of the metal/aluminum it comes with! Great job guys!
That’s a great idea! Why didn’t I think of that?
Goes to show the amount of mark up losi and the likes make when 99% of the car is plastic and three times the cost of one of these. Transmitter is also infinitely more pleasant to look at than the offerings of losi team associated and traxxas. Not sure why but those companies are incapable of making a non ugly transmitter. They are highly offensive lol. HPI makes the most handsome transmitter imo tho.
I just bought one because RUclips convinced me and I’m glad I did, as a starter R.C. it has blown me away!
Nice! Congrats!
@@10thScaleGarage Hey have you reviewed the DFR Blaze 1/10 drift rc kit? And if not, could you?
I started with a wltoys 12428 that i bought 2 years ago lol...
Im going to upgrade his diffs to metal this year btw
Waiting on one now can't wait to rip it up
@@brody1502 not yet bro!
This was my first hobby grade rc car. No regrets and seriously no complains! Only recommendation is to definitely use some thread locker on the nuts to keep the tires on as well as any other component that may come loose. Other than that, no issues.
And grease the diffs!
100% toy grade
is it pretty fast or a959b better overall?
@@louisabelhard9596 Its quite fast and enjoyable for a newbie. i think the a959b is harder to control though i have not owned it.
@@youronlycow ok thanks
Hi Guys, love all your rc car videos! I have heard that the wl toys 144001 comes from the factory with dry differentials, like many rc cars. I neglected to lube mine on a deerc 302e and when it started clicking it was too late. I lubed it and it locked up when I test drove it, thankfully it's only the rear one!!. I'm wondering if the noise you hears in yours is one of the diffs starting to go south. Just some friendly advise. Note, replacement diffs are availale for wl toys for about 15 - 20 bucks on amazon, but lube it when new, then it's no more worry and you save several bucks. Thanks and keep up the good videos!
Great video guys, yep I've been hearing a lot about these too. So I just ordered two, one for me and one for my mate. Ha, race then bragging rights. Lol. Thanks for sharing. John
Nice! That sounds like fun
Very cool! When the bring out this chassis as a truck I will go for it! Thanks for sharing!
Im already looking for truck bodies that will fit on it!
@@10thScaleGarage have you found one
@@10thScaleGarage have you found one?
@10thscalegarage it makes me so happy to see that pretty much every comment I see has a reply from you. This shows you really care about your audience. Keep it up man! 👍
Thanks! Yeah, I love chatting about RCs. Haha. I feel like my channel has a crazy loyal following and we all kinda support each other. I’m proud of it.
I would have died if this one didn’t get a response but he did so it’s still wholesome
Awesome vid guys, I just buy my first rc car and it was actually this from your link, excited to get those lipos with it lol thanks and keep doing what you’re doing 🙌🏻
such a cool laid back yet nice voice and speed, really cool channel
Thanks!
Awesome little car. Mine also stripped a diff gear but after about a month of regular use. From the factory it doesn't have enough grease in the diffs so popping them open and adding grease before you start riding is a good idea.
It’s a must!
Can I just use any grease from autozone?
@@lucasburke6099 for the ring and pinion gear you can use regular grease. For inside the diff you get specific silicone based grease for RCs that you put in the diff that is dense enough to give you limited slip type performance. I use Team Associated 3000cst but this is up to personal preference
I’ve had one of these since it came out, had mine before they became well known and popular, currently have £270 put into it on upgrade parts, maybe I went a bit over the top but it’s probably one of the nicest ones arouns
I have an RC Thad has way more in aftermarket parts than the original price. It happens. Haha.
10th Scale Garage yeah you don’t even realise when you buy a few parts but when you add it all up you realise how much you spent
@@AW-Luke let's see it I just subbed to you
That’s like putting $15,000 into a used Honda Civic.
@@soter305 the only thing used here is your last 300 brain cells.
Good stuff brotha! Love that lil thing too. I also got into the Tacon line, which is just like these but brushless out da box! Would be great to see a truggy version.
I will check it out
@@williamperri3437 It is very cool, called the tacon Bulwark, super cool truggy.
Why haven't I come across your channel before??!!? Sweet videos brother.
I’m still new to the RUclips game.
I have seen this rc everywhere. Upgraded to the gills..seen channels just dedicated to getting this little buggy to fly (like over 100mph). Crazy stuff! I like your review, It was real and let us hear the clicking. You guys have a really cool channel so I subbed and 👍
Yup. No BS from us. We wouldn’t lie to you, cause we hate it when people do that stuff to us.
Yeah man great review, these things rip for very little cost. Got two last year, me and my son attach a Gopro hero7 to one, go to the park and have a great time racing and making movies. My kid is only 6 and can keep this RC moving with bumps, jumps and turns. The 144001 is a nice easy way to bash RCs. Take Care👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Nice! I’d like to get a few more for mini races
That would be cool to see a few of these on a track. This is the first time your channel popped up on my homepage, I subbed👍🏾👍🏾
Bought this on Amazon. Can't wait to have it delivered in the next few days.
Nice!! Congrats.
I've got one and I Love it 😀 think its a fantastic Buggy for the Money. Great testing and a great video Guys 👍🇬🇧🥰🇺🇲👍
Awesome! Thank you!!
Looks cool, I'm sold, thanks bro !
No problemo
Yo 10th scale!! I've had two of them, ran them into the ground. The A959 was the first "star" of WLToys company. Primarily sold thru Banggood and Amazon, then in September last year the 144001 came out, I bought one of the 1st issued. Solid vehicle, I personally had alot of probs and just ran out of 💰 money!! I sold both off them a couple months ago, AND I'm kicking myself for it. Might have to go round 3, but, SO MANY cars.... so little cash and time..... 😲☑️💯
I know exactly what you mean!
Whats up my dude! That thing looks awesome!
Thanks! It’s super fun!
looks an upgraded version of the 959 the only problem I have had with mine is dirt getting into the spur gear via the open chassis slot underneath you may just need to clean off the motor and spur gear to get rid of the crunching a piece of tape to cover the slot will help keep dirt and sand out
Good idea!
I got this for 99€ In my country when it went on discount, and my god it was the most worth it purchase I have ever done! This little thing has given me so much Joy :D
Great video! I need to get one of those. My yard is too small for my brushless HSP.
I feel your pain. It does good donuts in my kitchen. Haha.
@@10thScaleGarage I only recently got back into RC after a long hiatus. I was a fairly competitive racer in the 80s and 90s. It boggles my mind how fast and durable some of the cheap stuff is now.
Right? Well said.
Love mine just keep it off large gravel the stuff shreds the soft aluminum
We’re taking to a dirt track soon.
Already got one and another on the way. They are great upgraded to brushless
Pocket rockets for sure!
Do the batteries last longer than standard when upgraded? Cheers
Yes brushless runs longer and with more power
Darren Race - thank you, brushless upgrade it is!
Update: It arrived yesterday. I took it out to the park today and ran it on the concrete and the grass and this little car RIPS!!! Gosh I didn't know what I was getting. This thing is a blast. A buddy of mine and I do our park runs with my cars and we drive them around out there and my little WL144001 outruns my old Associated RC10. Not by much but it does. It is really impressive!
Can it drive on dirt or sand? And I luv your videos guys. Im watching this channel for 5h, very good content!! :)
That's actually a 550 brushed motor... Awesome litte big car. We been running one for a year, can't complain... Have 5T brushless system and new radio waiting but the thing hasn't broken yet. I've had to tighten turnbuckles for alignment. It's a favorite in our pack. We dismantled and lubed pre-use.
You’re right. Haha. I’d say a good 10% of the comments are people correcting me on that. My bad!
@@10thScaleGarage lol that thing is awesome, love your review!
Nice one guys, subscribing greetings from northern Germany
Thanks for the sub!
That WLtoys was so much fun
heck yeah it was!
@@10thScaleGarage is it normal that its very VERY hot?
That little bugger is awesome I ordered the 12 scale version but I may have to get this little thing and race it against my team associated 14/B.
Yes! I’d like to see that, too.
Great car!
Two things to be careful with:
1. The ESC goes into Low Volt Cutoff very low at about 6.3v.
2. The thermal cutoff does not seem to work. During hard grass bashing, I heard a "pop" and the ESC let it's smoke out. The plastic was melted and the heatsink was hot enough to fry a pork chop. The temp cutoff should have not let it get hot enough to melt.
Your editing kicks so much ass bro you’re gonna be one of the biggest R/C channels on RUclips if you keep this up.
Wow! Thank you! That would be sweet!
10th Scale Garage You got the personality for it man I’m so glad youtube recommended me your vids!
Wynrotar thanks!
Wynrotar does not compute! Error! Error!
Average editing, average channel. Nothing special here, really.
Ive got an old system from a mini 8 build that will be perfect for this.
I’m assuming the mini 8 is brushless?
I swear u pick great music bruh👍👍
Thanks!
Fun little guy for sure and nice specs too! 😁👍🏼
I was surprised! I need like 2-3 more!
Just finished the all metal upgrade and installed brushless also. Speed test hit 45mph. Want to make it faster!!! Great starter hobby car.
Awesome! That’s bookin it for 14th scale.
Just got mine and really like it 👍
Nice. Congrats!
550 motor my only complaint with the car was the range. Great value for $90 I run my in drive way perfect for it!
yeah, we ran out of range once, but we were wayyyy out there.
There are some pretty decent upgrade parts available for them too....metal diff and stuff like that...kind of like to see if it would be worth upgrading to brushless
I’ve got something epic coming for it….
Cool little RC 👍🏼
For sure.
There is a speed trim next to the third trim on the controller sometimes they don’t have the speed all the way up😊
bought one for myself, ad one for my brother. They are a blast! Jump really good!!
You’re the coolest brother!
@@10thScaleGarage It was the least I could do, as I got him back into rc's. It is a LOT more fun driving/flying with other people. (and laughing at their crashes ) haha..
Liked and subbed, I am trying to get in to RC cars and this looks a great place to start, I am interested in upgrading but I dont think I'm smart enough. I got nervous when I saw people mentioning 'add more grease' i have no idea what grease or how to add it and how much is enough lol. Great video though and lots of love to the commentors
Don’t be scared. There is a big community around this vehicle and lots of “how to” videos for just about everything on this rig. You can ask 100 people whats the right kind of grease to use, and you’ll get 50 different answers. I use waterproof marine grease. You can buy it at any auto parts store for a few bucks and you’ll have enough to last for years. As for how much? Enough to provide lubrication for the gears, but not so much that it’s stuffed clear full. Let’s call it, “a dollop.”
I'm sold!! Delivery to uk is like 20 business days on your link though 😳😳.
Yeah, shipping is a killer for everyone everywhere these days.
The first one i got lasted 2 batteries and motor burned out, the one i got now has lasted 2 months, only one bent driveshaft, but they are so soft i could bend it back by hand. Fun little backyard basher and really alot of car for the money 🙂
I had a 12428 that did the same thing... I was bummed.
Good buy for the price just need to look at the diffs and check nothing is going to come loose
Exactly
I got a X-Max I might get this for some fun back yard bashing, You need a open field for the X
For real. I have the outcast 8S and you need a biiigg empty space for it.
Heavy grease the diffs 👍 mine was as dry as a nuns naff.
Yup. Mine was, too. They’re greased now!
Funny mine came mega greased but this car goes through diffs like it drains 2s 1500 mah batteries honestly every run I need a new diff or main gear
@@eggsoticsdragons5750 They all need the upgraded, Diffs & Spur & Pinion gear. Wltoys has on offer, especially if you going Brushless.
Mine has grease on both diffs!I put some more.
Whats a naff?😐
I never got one because I have a Losi Mini-8ight. But for how cheap it is I might just check it out! Thanks for the video!
Ohhhh! I want one of those, too.
It’s name is Z06 Evolution, 144001 is the part number. Cheers
The whole internet is wrong!
@@10thScaleGarage For some reason, it has been the trend. Keep up the good work, awesome video 👍🏻
THATS PERTY SIC! I BOUGHT MY DAUGHTER THE REMO ROCKET, BUT THAT LOOKS A STEP ABOVE. I LIKE IT I DO. THANKS FOR NUTHER GR8 VIDEO!!!
Glad you like it! i had the Remo SMAX back in the day. Loved it.
Enjoyed the video. Thanks. A couple suggestions not mentioned so far... Fix the toe-out. I gave mine a slight bit of toe-in for better stability. Check the tightness of ALL the screws. Found a couple that needed snugging down. I did put a heat sink on my motor. They get HOT.
Then enjoy one of, if not the best, values in RC cars!
And grease the diffs!
@@10thScaleGarage True. (as mentioned below several times)
I packed Moly grease in the front & rear diffs before the first run.
Ever figure out the clicking? Cool video.
Wow, i would love to get the Electronic Speed Shinanigan buggy!
Do it!
could you do a video on what to buy like what would break first please? and maybe how to fix them?
I’ve done a bunch of videos like that! If you have a specific question, maybe I can answer you.
Hi. Incase a part breaks, like maybe shocks or whatever, are there spare parts that fits and compatible in the market? And are they easy to get?
Yup!
Sweet video had to subscribe
Thanks! Welcome to the 10th scale squad!
I got one it is coming on the 16 so exited I will update wen it comes and I got a lipo battery and an upgraded motor
Awesome! Congrats dude.
30 mph with 2s and brushed out of the box is amazing!
That’s what I thought
Definitely and that to the collection have you checked out the 9125 xinlehong my first rc . Fun little cheap dual motor RC. Then went to the arrma Granite then the arrma kraton. And I have the big rock on order. Can't have just one LOL
Nice collection!
I have four 144001 and I want more. Totally addict. Made more than 130 batteries runs and differentials are like brand new but greased before using and doing maintenance every 20/30 runs. Only things that are taking punishments are the tires but still alive.
Nice! That’s awesome!
If I have to put up that buggy to go up against another 1/14 4wd buggy, it would be the 1/14 Tacon Soar Buggy 4WD from NitroRcx. They both look very identical
Yeah! Super similar
The Tacon Soar is a rebranded LC Racing emb-1. The 144001 is a knock off of those cars. I had a 144001 for a few months. It was fun at first but then the rear diff went and then the arms and spindles kept breaking. Got tired of waiting forever for replacement parts so I eventually sold it. BTW lots of the LC Racing replacement parts fit the 144001. But I'd definitely buy an actual lc racing or tacon soar before I buy a other 144001.
Can I know the type of battery connector used in this car? Can you recommend a battery for longer running time.
Deans connectors. The stock battery tray is pretty small, so I’d recommend just getting a few more 1500 mah 2S lipos.
YEAH this thing is so great i bought my second one in different color lol, I love them
I’m thinking about getting another one.
How much? Did you get it for
@@larrytorres2148 I think they were around $150 including shipping
@@9feetfrog in aliaexpress are for $70
@@sebasyara2901 I wouldn't shop with them!
This drivetrain has been made into a hundred different cars...Helion Dominus, FS Maruader 53910 and several more. It is SOLID AS A ROCK !! With a brushless system they are bad ass !!
So I’ve seen!
Great video can you do more rustler vids
Yes! Recently filmed with a rustler 4x4. That video should be up later this week.
I'm so hyped to try this little beast out i bought one from aliexpress for 84$ what a steal
Nice!!congrats dude.
I just bought one today, can’t believe theres an entire community to this little buggy
It’s massive!
I ordered one of these off of Amazon over 4 months ago i was so hyped and it still hasn't arrived yet I keep getting excuses from seller I'm so pissed
That sucks. I hate it when that happens. We’ve all been there.
Yea im gonna need one because as soon as I typed in wltoys i saw it. also subscribing too
Haha. Awesome! Thanks for watching. Welcome to the 10th scale squad
I just bought one. It is arriving tomorrow
That looks exactly like my LC Racing EMB 01, though I never had problems with the diff on it. And I ran like 50 batteries through it.
Yeah, there are a ton of clones.
@@10thScaleGarage As Far as I know, LC Racing are the original designers.
Diff dont last more than two good use days and are a lil hard to get from china , best thing to do is put some ticker diff oil when they are brand new. Mine melted the plastic fan inside the motor from running too long on grass , replaced it with Arrma 550 , metal gears , etc.
Yeah. We greased the diffs after the first three battery packs.
Hi, i would like to ask you, does this car has thermal protection? Im really afraid of overheating.
the brushless one is faster than the HYPERGO brushless 4x4 truck. I own both using 3S lipo 2200mah. I clocked the HYPERGO on my GNSS GPS ran 42mph on 3S. The WLTOYS have not gps yet but it will walk by the HYPERGO side by side!
I love my 1440019021072745! I'm glad you finally got one! 👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾
Let’s race em!
\(o.0)/
Think I might order one after watching this I’ve got the purple one can’t remember the number but it’s great for the price.
124016?
@@10thScaleGarage 124017 just getting back into the RC’s had a a few years go but sold them now I’ve only got two but planning on starting a collection.
I might have to pick one up and do a brushless conversion and a drive train upgrade and see if it does well against my 1/14th tacon soar and bulwark
There are people that get 70+mph out of them after brushless swapping them.
@@10thScaleGarage jeez 70 mph.. I'm gonna have to build an all steel front end 😂
Sounds like a sweet video!!
Looks cool, do they come in bigger scaales ???
Yup. They come in 12th scale also. Check out my video.
Ouch that diff doesn't sound good. I bet a small brushless setup would work great in that thing, 24xx series with an 850mah 2s.
Plus it's less stress on the drivetrain and suspension, weight wise.
Thanks for the review. Just subbed 👍
Hey thanks! Yeah, brushless systems seem to be a popular upgrade.
Would it be worth buying this car or a brushless for my bandit and upgrade it to being a 60/70mph+ build?
Thats up to you!
I also own 2 of these. Can't beat it for the price.
I need a few more!
Is this a good first car for a beginner like myself
Is it suitable to use on the beach? Or is it more of a tarmac car? I have absolutely no idea about RC cars and I might buy this one as my first excursion into RC world
sand is hard on RCs. i have one that i strictly use for sand.
How long did it take to arrive for you?
I have this car great little thing. Lots of upgrades available
Nice!
Yea. Only prob I have with low budget rc’s like this is they have no slipper or center diff. So you can forget bashing. All that shock and sudden acceleration off the jumps go straight to the spur and strip it out and likely is a pain to access to remove. Like who really wants to drive a buggy or monster truck in the parking lot
Yeah. I haven’t driven it in a parking lot since. The thing is less than $150. You gotta save money somewhere. I have yet to strip a spurr. Not landing on throttle helps a lot.
My friend bought me this for my bday ( he lives across the country) and I had no idea what I was walking into since I've been out of the RC car game for aaaages. I had a RC10 B3 that had some slight upgrades, so some pre-assembled thing? Expected it to be just ok.
Uhh, this thing is better built, faster has 4W drive and I'm blown away.
My old car cost something like ...$150 just for the frame which didn't come assembled, I think it had the motor? But no servo or speed control, receiver, controller, etc. So it was another $70 for an electronic speed control and IDK how much for the servos since I think I just used one my brother had from the early 90s that he had in his King Cab.
So for $130 for something that's this fast and ...pretty damn durable? I'm blown away. My first crash with the old B3 destroyed the shocktower because- naturally they made it out of graphite for some bloody reason. My first crash with this car broke 1 of the arm joints that took 5 minutes to replace.
I am buying an R/C car! It is between this one or the Traxxas 1/18 teton because I want to keep the car small so I can fit it in a backpack. Which one is better? This video was very informative. If I buy the WLTOYS 144001 it will be because of this video.
144001 is faster and has wayyyy more metal bits and upgrades available. The tenton has better OEM support. I personally prefer the 144001. I have the LaTrax Rally and I drive the 144001 more.
I just ordered one but im gonna upgrade all the electronics in it when i get it...
I know its been a year now, how's the RC? Still running good?
Yup! We run it quite a bit. Had to replace the drive shaft a few months ago but it was super easy.
Welcome to the club. And that's a 550 motor.
Nice catch! Apparently I’m the last one in the club!
So what was the grinding? Might want to put that in your review, your basically saying it blew up after an hour of use 🤦🏻♂️
Who cares how good and cheap it is, when something breaks you have to wait several weeks for the parts, no hobby store in this country carries parts for these things...
Ha! You know, I used to think the same thing, but more and more hobby shops are starting to sell these things, and there are tons of Ebay sellers that buy them and part them out. Just something to consider.

@@Professor-Scientist Sound like a lazy douch...I'll say it since he cant.
