This is why i love Phil channels, he lets you know you don’t have to spend $500 on RC’s to have fun. He always finds a way to make us all smile 😊👍🏼💯 Cheers 🍻 Mate!
I cant really afford the more expensive stuff like a max or a kraton, so these reviews on cheaper is what I'm looking for, Phil usually has what I'm looking for within my budget.
After finding this video, I'm buying a few of these for me and my kids. The beach will never be the same again. I cannot wait to have three of these ripping around on the sand!
For some reason, I love driving 2WD on the sand. Paddles on the rear and pie cutters on the front. i used to do it all the time with my Associated RC10 GT nitro to brushless conversion. So much fun drifting the dunes at Glamis or Pismo beach with it. I covered everything with nylon socks. This was great too. I'm going to have to get myself one. You were having a blast! lol.
Ive recently got back into the hobby restoring my original Tamiya Sand Rover and LunchBox and was sent your way from a guy at work. I have to say there are now 3 Wltoys i want (need) now lol... your videos are superb, im slowly making my way through them, and it just goes to show that , you dont have to spend mega money for a great bit of kit... Thank you.
Outta da Park , WLT. !! Loving the Dunes, lack of buildings, no crowds , a place to park , no traffic,or drunks , nobody breaking into your vehicle & no Shootings. I'll trade your Beach for mines , its World Famous ? & its in Miami.
that sure is a formidable little beast with the paddles! and an absolutely gorgeous sunny day at the beach for all the footage/glamour shots! sounds a bit of awesome, good on ya!
Absolutely epic rc and best bang for the buck too, I actually picked up one a few months ago cause one of your videos and then soon as I got it and drove it I instantly order the brushless one too lol! I was really surprised by the quality and speed for only around 100 - 140$ you can't beat that satisfaction 🤘🏽
Great video.. The beach is a good place for this car and the tires are a great addition. The 124016 is quite fast and on 2s but with 3s it's insane. Thanks for sharing the link to the paddle tires. Awesome. !!!
It's great they've sorted the issues from the V1 out, because that is now a little pocket rocket. And on those paddles!! Awesome. I'm in the middle of monsterising my Senton 550 Mega, with a brushless system, and some huge ZD Racing tyres and big bore shocks. I'm now thinking a beach run would be a great place to thrash it about. 🤘🏻
it is way more expensive to upgrade the brushed versions. You need to upgrade anything: motor, ESC, reciever, servo, transmitter.... it adds up to more than 100 €/$. I bought the 124019 but I consider to buy the 124016, too. :D
I've just ordered the HBX 16889A Pro, I want to take it to the beach when I go camping in the summer. Will I need these paddle tyres and if so will these fit it? (Sorry I'm very new to RC!)
It’s always surprising how impressive a small rc car like this for the price they are so cheap and every one I’ve seen has been super durable and a ton of fun and are super cheap too
It looks like a completely different little beast with those paddles. That's absolutely EPIC for a cheapO. I can't say that it's made cheap though those things are fast and take a hell of a beating as well. Couple upgrades like dog bones wouldn't hurt but other than that these things are really cool for the size and price. I'd love to get several of these on a track and battle it out 🔥 Awesome RC Tomley 🔥👍✌️
- Oh ya, for sure..... - I'm down with DOIN' that !!! 😉👍 Although, normally, I am not really into the "cheap-y" toy RC's, but looks really decent, for what it is, component-wise !!! 🤔.....
I’m looking for something fast and durable and this looks to fit the bill. I’ve asked TOMLEY what parts I should order with it as other upgrades or spares but haven’t heard back, you have any opinions or advice?
Ok I purchased it and it is so much fun I take it as a auxiliary car very dependable fast and fun .A winning product thx buddy for your time and effort to help our hobby .
I'm sold ! I'm buying one this weekend ! I live by Daytona Beach and I have only nitro .I have 2 jato and 2 tmaxx nitro vehicles totally built actually too shiny and expensive to run in the sand .I been looking at the electric vehicles and I think I found what I'm looking for in the wltoys .great video man !
Man I’m super impressed Phil! I’ve got this car coming in really soon and I already have these tires too👍🏻🤩! I was already excited, but now you got me even more so. Wltoys out did themselves with this one I think. Just imagine if they did that with most of their model line up! Watch out Arrma and Traxxas!😆💥👊🏼
Damn!!!! That thing screams!! I absolutely love it!!! I never knew i needed an rc dune buggy but now i do. I think that if it actually gets traction it can go about 70. To me it seems thag on 3s it was just spinning the whole time
That looks absolutely crazy with those sand tyres. The speed it gets is crazy!. It’s sounds great and handles really well. Great vid on the beach.🏝🏝👍🏼🚗
I popped a 3s in mine and the receiver was blinking red.. 🤔 popped the 2s in and worked no problem.. same exact one that you have.. or at least I think
@@Top-Jimmy man am I late.. like a whole year late. I took out the stock receiver and motor. A popped in a hobby wing combo receiver and motor. And I'm using a dumborc radio. This little thing rips 3s like crazy.
@@TomleyRC That's soooooo nice and fast! I would have also liked to see the other WL model with those tires to see how fast and the handling. Again, wow. ..I think I need to buy one. ☺
To me it looks like all these WLToys trucks and buggies are identical to cars that have been around for years from other manufacturers. I mean, not just copies, but identical. The 124016 looks exactly like the Tacon Cavalry Desert Buggy, which has been around as brushless version for roughly 5 years, but at double the price. The other WLToys 1:12 chassis look exactly like what Tacon sells as 1/14 Thriller Short Course Truck. I think I bought the brushless version of that truck from Tacon for 185 USD five years ago. Actually this is reslly good to know, as spare parts for Tacon where kind of difficult and expensive to get to, but with all the stuff being available for WLToys from Banggood and even Amazon with one day shipping now it is super easy! I just ordered this 124016 from Banggood. Free three day shipping from Czeck Republic is awesome, too!
@Tomley RC I bought the cnhl batteries and put them in my stock ftx carnage brushed, it backfilps from standstill now and its only 2s 1300mah and they where £20 for 4. They out perform my friends 2s 2200mah in the same car. Thanks for letting us know about the batteries, cheap cars and budget bashers much appreciated also love the videos too.
Had a Traxxas Revo nitro with paddle tyres that I used to run at a sand pit near my house. Seeing those waves of sand get chucked into the air is just super cool :)
I recently threw all of my WLToys cars in the trash after purchasing a Kraton 6S and a Felony 6S. I liked the WLToys cars and built several, but there is no substitute for Arrma tough baby! The WLToys were all built and very fast, but could not handle the power and would break about every time I ran them. The Felony will do 80mph all day and does not break easily! I will admit that both cars will relieve you of over $500.00 in a hurry! LOL
You must have read my mind! I have those exact tyres in my Ali basket. They are a little smaller than the usual so perfect for this WLtoys and I think a lot of other stuff too like tamiya buggies etc. As soon as I saw them on the WLToys it made me wonder how great it would be on sand, especially with that new V2. Pretty sure I will grab one soon and I'm getting the tyres either way.
Only problem I've had is with the dog bones bending from hard crashes which is expected but if there was a way to make just slightly thicker ones I think it wouldn't ever bend, also got the 22$ all metal upgrade great buy as well
Thing with paddle tyres is that I think they work equally well on stuff like wet grass / mud and snow….so basically you’ve just made this an all year round rig hahahaha awesome 🤟👏👏
I have the 124018 I put a 5300kv motor in, and just ordered a 3000mah 40 or 50c battery for lastnight. What would be a good 3s battery you think would fit perfectly in these?
I was actually going to order these tyres for my hbx16889 that's on a crazy brushless system, but went for some larger off/on road tyres for now, I may have to get me a set of these for down at the beach though, do kinda wish I'd ordered these instead, do you think they work better on the softer or more compacted sand?
@@TomleyRC thanks foe the response, I always assumed they'd work better in the soft stuff, as they'd scoop it easier, would you say they were an improvement over the stock tyres all round on sand though?
This is why i love Phil channels, he lets you know you don’t have to spend $500 on RC’s to have fun. He always finds a way to make us all smile 😊👍🏼💯 Cheers 🍻 Mate!
Most of my expensive stuff stays on the shelf… it’s way more satisfying doing videos like this 😎🤟

Yes, they are pretty soft. Luckily you can easily bend them back 👌
Hmm maybe try a carbon fibre sleeve
I like the softer dog bones, really easy to bend back, if they didn't bend something else would surely take the hit and break
LC Racing’s dog bones are thicker
I wish I lived somewhere near a beach… looks like fun
It was.. although it’s over an hrs drive for me

What did they do that improved the v2 transmitter range so much? Is it something i can DIY my v1 transmitter to work the same?
I think you’ll need to e new V2 transmitter and possibly receiver
I already own a k989, and a 12428. I'm quite happy with both. I'd like another one from this company. Will this be the one? Let's see.
It would be a good choice
