Would love to hear your thoughts guys. Do you think WLtoys are coming to an end? Companies like Rlaarlo are doing everything right at the moment and are winning us RC fans over so lets hope they have a great new year and bring us more exciting products! The AM-X12 is currently selling for $180/£147 if you are interested just use my code: beyondRC for 30% Off and Free shipping! Check it out here: rlaarlo.com/?ref=9hkxRr9 😎👍
i totally agree with what your saying, ive bought a 144010 for 200 canadian dollars and it breaks almost every run, im not that hard on the car, Rlaarlo seems alot better
I went with the WL Toys 144010. Stock and upgraded parts available on Amazon for a low price and I can get them very quickly if needed in a day or so, I don't see hardly any Rlaarlo parts on Amazon. I have never even heard of them until today. I think FTX makes decent cheaper RC vehicles but again getting parts quickly seems to be a problem. I wanted something tough, fast and cheap to keep running.
I wouldn't say coming to an end but I think people are more willing to pay the extra money if they are buying a brushless model but not so much for a brushed.
Thank you so much for this video I was considering a Rlaarlo but they seemed too expensive but with this discount it feels more in reach. I've been watching lots of your videos lately and they are very well done. Keep up the good work. Extremely helpful.👍👍
I just got the 124019 wltoys. Axles snap like twigs on the front. Missing a diff. bearing and screws falling out. Shocks also leak like Niagara falls out of the box. Still fun to drive
One of my first purchases when I came back into the hobby was a 144001, and once I'd sorted out the issues it had, thanks to your video, it's an amazing little car. I love it, my son loves it, but why, after all this time, are cars still being delivered to customers with the same issues, 2 years on!! And with the other issues the bigger cars have had, I'm not sure I would spend nearly double the cash on one now!! Rlarrlo seem to be starting off the right way, listening to their customers from the start, and that can only be a good thing. The only issue is the rising cost of everything within the hobby. Added to the cost of living issues, my money has to go much further!! 😎👍🏻
They really need to work on fixing issues that have existed for ages now but they dont seem to care. Rlaarlo are listening and making changes all the time which is great! Excited to see what they bring us next year!
Great video!! I am an amateur rc car person. My first car was Wltoys a959b. Loved it. Have seen some issues with clogging, no grease on diffs etc.. very intrigued with rralarlo and think gonna get one next
About 4 months ago I got into the rc world and have maybe gone a little cra cra with it. I started watching you tube videos on budget rcs and how to fix and upgrade them. I came across your videos and wanted to say thank you for all you do and most importantly being honest. I'm very glad I came across this video and got to hear all about wltoys and how they are. My 2nd car I got was the amx-12. It was at that moment I picked rallarlo as my fav brand and in the process of collecting them all. As far as the haters go, well the truth hurts sometimes and a company that picks greed over customers is gonna fail. Now it's time to delete all wltoys from my "gotta get" list. Thanks again!
I received my rlaarlo pre-order on Monday. I’ve run 2 different battery packs thru it. And I have a problem with the car just shutting off when it hits any minor bump. It isn’t a battery problem since I used 2 different batteries. I think it’s an issue with the ESC being defective. However, rlaarlo haven’t responded to my request for help in 2 days. So I’m guessing they won’t make it right and I’m stuck with replacing the ESC of this brand new car. It seems fine when it works, but I’m really disappointed that I now need to spend $30 to fix a brand new buggy that hasn’t even flipped over yet.
I have two 124018 converted to brushless, three 124019 converted to brushless, one 124017, one eachine eat 14 rebuild to have no coggin issues and one lc racing based on this platform. Bought them all for 80$ or less... I'm pretty sure, that I won't get a rlaarlo version. Not because it's not good or something, but I already have like seven models based on this platform...
I have a few WLtoys models and recently purchased 2 AMX12s. I realized that... I should have been more patient. I mean, it's not like I knew rlaarlo existed. Lol but still... The difference between the 2 companies IMO is that.... -WLtoys: slaps on some of the most cheapest stuff to make their products and make them appear and function better than what you pay for them. Their electronics don't last long and it even looks very cheap. I ended up upgrading and replacing a lot of their components. -Rlaarlo: seems like they do their homework and their QC is no joke(for the price). They listen to their consumers/customers and they make changes accordingly. Starting from the small parts to their electronics, it shows quality and they work how they're supposed to... if not more. Absolutely love it. I mean, look at their transmitter alone lol I will be continuing to wait for Rlaarlo's future products and am excited about it. Well worth the extra money. Consumers don't always look for cheap stuff. If they think it's worth their money, they'll buy it. Rlaarlo clearly sees that.
Im glad you agree when it comes to quality. It is noticeable and when the lower end 144001 is costing up to $120 at the moment and the AMX-12 is $180 at the moment with all the carbon and goodies i think its worth it.
Nice video my friend. My opinion is that wltoys saw the popularity of 144001 and didn't want to be copied. So it made 2 or 3 smaller companies to compete his own product. So no one can do this. Many big industries have done that in the past. Just a thought.
I got mine and it is a great build for $150. Mine was missing a shock mount spacer so they didn't QC it that well. So after noticing that, I inspected it some more. Looking at the front sway bar fitment, I noticed it touches the front driveshafts when the suspension is compressed. Other than that, it runs good and will run 3S soon.
Our family owns 4 different WLToys based on that same or similar chassis. They were fast and the kids drove them hard, they would break at least one of them if not more than that everytime they were driven. Durability was lacking and I quickly realized they are for adults. We have switched to other more durable RCs in the same price range, but also just as fast if not faster. I really like how Rlaarlo has stirred the pot, they have great designers and marketing people, but I'm still not convinced on their price strategy, IMO those cars are $150 cars at the most. The market moves fast, for instance, Arrma 3s Typhon Christmas deals were $239 this year, now that didn't include a battery, carrying case, and spare parts....but even with the included extras a Rlaarlo at $225 is a tough sell. Also, once people see the Rlaarlo was sold for $150 on special, it's really hard to pay more than that.
I agree and I do think even at $180 its still a fairly decent deal considering the carbon fiber components and much better quality all round. But that said there are some very good branded options from Arrma (voltage, 4x2 range), HPI Jumpshot range, Maverick etc all within the same price range!
@@beyondRC can you still get it for 180? I see codes in some videos but it only ever shows 200 for me. Probably a mute point given under 200 they charge shipping. Or am I missing a trick?
Hello i leave in UK too, and i want to get one rc to me and share with my 8 year old have some fun, what you recommend in maximum 140 pounds range we are total beginners, wltoys seems really good but what rc or brand would you get in my place?
I'm big fan of wltoys, ( I got fifteen of them) it's cheap, i like to play with upgrading, but yes, You absolutely right about wltoys company. They just don't care about customer, that's why I'll never buy any wltoys anymore... Time to think about Rlaarlo , maybe little bit more expensive, but it's seems to be worth of that price ... Sorry for my English, take care😉
I have and they are not as good as I would have liked. Size is incredibly limiting as is power and for the money there are better options out there even if they are not big branded.. Parts/upgrades are also stupidly expensive,
Wife and I are starting up an rc hobby center with tracks, and we have found that Rlaarlo and LcRacing are topnotch quality. It's up to me to stay on top of parts for our customers. I'm looking forward to stocking Rlaarlo and LcRacing. The LcRacing 12B1 and the 10B5 are fantastic buggys that, if outfitted properly, could easily contend with top tier brands. Rlaarlo should release a pro build kit.
You hit the nail on the head perfectly friend. Although I really like a lot of WLtoys Rc’s, there vehicles are recycled through there production for many years. They’d don’t seem to care about what the consumer is asking for. Therefore their vehicles don’t seem to evolve . It’s their lossI! If Rlaarlo doesnt get too crazy with their prices , they and MjX will be the New Rc leaders in the Chinese rc market
***If you are new and looking to get into the hobby... THIS IS THE CAR I WISH I KNEW ABOUT WHEN I STARTED. If you’re on the fence about Rilallo/Amoril... I’m here to tell you, pull the trigger. You won’t regret it. Looking into getting something bigger than my 1/16 Mini B and I found the Amoril 1/12 brushless. Wanting to get into racing. But I had to order one of these after watching you videos on it! It’s an AWESOME car for the $220 price point!
I feel like wltoys knows that most people buying them are only buying them because they are so cheap and because they are going to mod the hell out of them anyways so no point in fixing the issues and raising the price.
I have 144001 but the engine has already broken down and the speed control gets too hot, the plastic melts, and the promises of speed are too big. Sure, the price is low. The differential wears out quickly, even if you add grease.
To be honest, I prefer the RIAARLO. Not because of its brand, but its looks, and for racing, hands down the RIAALO is going to do better. The Wltoys have bits of issues here and there which is a bit annoying. Great Vid dude! I like the blue and red colour scheme a bit more. The orange is still cool though!!
I don't regret the 2 144001s I bought. I got them for $80 each and learned a lot about the hobby upgrading them. That said, it's doubtful I'll buy another. Bottom line is they're just too low quality for me. When half the parts on your wltoys were made by Rlaarlo and LC Racing, it's time to just buy a Rlaarlo or LC racing
yes relarlo did some great things like up the price to twice the price of wltoys , given the carbon fiber parts cost about 20 dollars extra only if you want to upgrade yourself. i would much much rather spend my hard earn money on a wl toys and if it only lasted me about a week of use then f*** it it was cheap , if i go the relarlo route i would have to spend more up front the down the road i would probably sell it on ebay or marketplace because the price was too high and i want to get some of my money back were as the wl toys i can gladly keep it for the rest of my life and if i decide down the road to fix some of its problems then i can fix them cheap . its a matter of preference and personal decisions
One of the things WLToys did NOT do when going to the stretched (1/12 scale) versions of their 1/14 scale cars was make the width the same scale. That resulted in cars that are a PITA as far as internal components and batteries go. The flip top of the 124018 and 124016 along with having to take out too many screws AND the rear shocks makes it a dud to own and work on. Snow in the UK! Time to move, mate.
I think the best way to put it with WL toys is that they are resting on their laurels they have a successful product and are just raking in money unfortunately
For a while and I know people will argue this but wltoys had an opportunity to take the market by storm with any product they put out as long as it was good but they failed super hard and now they're almost irrelevant to anyone who likes hobby grade RC
Rlaarlo is the best cars you can get wltoys is cheapest made so Rlaarlo is good over all and speed and packing in the box what it comes wltoys no you don't pay for what you get mate 😉💯
In the past I asked "imagine a car with the gearing of wltoys, durability of haiboxing, thick shafts of mjx with the premium feel of losi" Rlaarlo be like: Hold my rc
I’ve been down the China brand road. It was great for me to get into the hobby with my enoze9200 and my wltoys 124019. The enoze I sold, and the 124019 gathers dust as I’m afraid of what will break next(it’s built for speed runs) I’m only a name brand guy. I know they are made in China but it’s not just the Band your paying for. It’s the materials and product support.
Is this really a fair comparison. For WL124017 V2 Brushless is $175 shipped, The Rlaarlo is $414. Not trying to troll, I'm with you i'de rather Rlaarlo all day for multiple reasons. Might be that i missed all the sales i keep seeing in review vids?
@@beyondRC Should of stated that's in Aussie dollars shipped sorry. Been looking for a cheaper basher, wl vs rlaarlo keeps coming up. Seems you can pick up team associated 14b and other similar smaller rtr buggies from reputable brands cheaper than the rlaarlo's. Just trying to figure out what im missing.
I wouldn't go WLToys, and whilst I like this Rlaarlo, just feel the carbon fibre chassis seems like a poorly thought out choice that's more vanity than practicality. Carbon fibre is needlessly expensive, especially when particular plastic type chassis are plenty strong enough anyway (see MJX Hyper Go Brushless, which has a near bullet proof chassis), and when the weight difference is negligible too. They should do a non carbon version that comes in at a much more sensible price.
When I first got into this hobby of ours, I bought a Hosim x07 and it was fast but it wasn't very durable. That's why I went for a ARRMA granite v3 3s 4x4 blx and it's fast and durable for me. Although a lot of the parts r made in China. So ya I do think that these little budget bashers r worth the cost. But like u said the spare parts availability is not there.
Just because you don't like the body shell don't claim nobody does. I do and I've seen many others that like it. I actually prefer it over Rlaaro. Try to be objective.
Wltoys bodies suck.. it’s called an opinion. People can make their own mind up. Won’t be taking Channel advice from someone with 0 subs and 0 vids.. haha have a good day 😂👍
If they maintain current progress then the Rlaarlo brand is to be taken seriously. We may well see them producing larger RCs in the not too distant future that challenge the supremacy of Horizon Hobby and Traxxas.
@@beyondRC Deservedly so in that instance. The irony of a Chinese brand using high quality components sold at a fair price versus Western companies using relatively low quality components in products sold at high prices. Rlaarlo using carbon fibre in reasonably priced RCs vs Traxxas still using super-cheap monkey metal gears in their $1000+ RCs that are made in China anyway!

Are these hobby grade like losi, traxxas etc? Those are cars you can own for 20 years (and have) and you can still get replacement parts for them

Whats the import tax situation like when buying these cars? I am in the uk
Is it worth going for the FTX Vantage brushless? It’s around the same price as the Rlaarlo, 1/10 scale too.
The ftx vantage, zorro, maverick quantum range, arrma mega 4x2 are all good options over this.

Do you need some modification?

I love my 144010 and it was only $120. The new Rlaarlo is great but it is pretty expensive all things considered. Competition is a good thing.
Yeah price comparison
Exactly. For what I spend on the rlaaro, I could have my 144001, go twice as fast, and handle better. And massive aftermarket support.
I have 144001 but the engine has already broken down and the speed control gets too hot, the plastic melts, and the promises of speed are too big. Sure, the price is low. The differential wears out quickly, even if you add grease.

You are 100% right WLTOY customer service it very bad. They does call back not even a message.
Yes exactly. Terrible service and it seems they are only interested in making quick money!
In the past I asked "imagine a car with the gearing of wltoys, durability of haiboxing, thick shafts of mjx with the premium feel of losi"
Rlaarlo be like: Hold my rc
This is it 😎👍
I’ve been down the China brand road. It was great for me to get into the hobby with my enoze9200 and my wltoys 124019. The enoze I sold, and the 124019 gathers dust as I’m afraid of what will break next(it’s built for speed runs)
I’m only a name brand guy. I know they are made in China but it’s not just the Band your paying for. It’s the materials and product support.
The lack of hex screws and weird size bearings.. not doing that again!
Is this really a fair comparison. For WL124017 V2 Brushless is $175 shipped, The Rlaarlo is $414. Not trying to troll, I'm with you i'de rather Rlaarlo all day for multiple reasons. Might be that i missed all the sales i keep seeing in review vids?
Not sure where your looking? The amx12 is 249.99 rlaarlo.com/products/rlaarlo-amx12
@@beyondRC Should of stated that's in Aussie dollars shipped sorry. Been looking for a cheaper basher, wl vs rlaarlo keeps coming up. Seems you can pick up team associated 14b and other similar smaller rtr buggies from reputable brands cheaper than the rlaarlo's. Just trying to figure out what im missing.
I wouldn't go WLToys, and whilst I like this Rlaarlo, just feel the carbon fibre chassis seems like a poorly thought out choice that's more vanity than practicality. Carbon fibre is needlessly expensive, especially when particular plastic type chassis are plenty strong enough anyway (see MJX Hyper Go Brushless, which has a near bullet proof chassis), and when the weight difference is negligible too. They should do a non carbon version that comes in at a much more sensible price.
I hope rlaarlo will come with something bit more realistic looking. I dont like these buggys, I'd like something RZR-ish or some desert truck...
Let's hope so. I have a feeling 2023 will be a good year for them!
take a look at my collection
When I first got into this hobby of ours, I bought a Hosim x07 and it was fast but it wasn't very durable. That's why I went for a ARRMA granite v3 3s 4x4 blx and it's fast and durable for me. Although a lot of the parts r made in China. So ya I do think that these little budget bashers r worth the cost. But like u said the spare parts availability is not there.
Just because you don't like the body shell don't claim nobody does. I do and I've seen many others that like it. I actually prefer it over Rlaaro. Try to be objective.
Wltoys bodies suck.. it’s called an opinion. People can make their own mind up. Won’t be taking Channel advice from someone with 0 subs and 0 vids.. haha have a good day 😂👍
yeah a TRUE 1/8 wltoys..
TRUE is exactly right! Not a 1/10 being sold as a 1/8!
Both are Chinese copys of somthing? Goos for straight toygrade that is better than toy u carnt get parts for.

If they maintain current progress then the Rlaarlo brand is to be taken seriously. We may well see them producing larger RCs in the not too distant future that challenge the supremacy of Horizon Hobby and Traxxas.
They could very well become a market leader if the quality stays the same! 😎👍
Honestly if they come out with a 1/10 scale in 2023 at a decent price, I would get it. Be nice to move away from these small scale cars.
@@beyondRC Deservedly so in that instance. The irony of a Chinese brand using high quality components sold at a fair price versus Western companies using relatively low quality components in products sold at high prices. Rlaarlo using carbon fibre in reasonably priced RCs vs Traxxas still using super-cheap monkey metal gears in their $1000+ RCs that are made in China anyway!
WL toys does cost less. MUCH MUCH less. so yeah. Id rather spend 130 dollars less for more or less the same car.
