Excellent Vid Kev! One of the best Cheap, Off brand, Off road "basher" RC cars ever!! ... had mine for the last 18 months and love it dearly. Only issue I ever had was the forward diff drive shaft (From the centre drive) came loose and lost drive to the front...easy fix and no harm done... It's cheap, Parts are easy to get and really cheap... it's easy to modify.. and to clean lol... though... Word of warning...IT'S NOT WATERPROOF!!! don't go dunking this little guy in deep puddles...! Two "Must Do" mods: Oil filled shocks!!!!.. and a ZOP Power 2200mah 35C LiPo.. gives a lot more run time and a LOT more speed! Wicked little car that takes an absolute beating! on a budget!!!
@@Aarons14bugs Yes you are right, the ones that come with non window box have metal diffs. I ordered 12429 some days ago, really hope it has metal diffs, as it is advertised as the newer version.
@@viko207 Dont forget to order a metal Drive shaft though! That's been the only break I've had with mine. Original broke running 2s but the metal upgrade replacement is doing fine.
Ur the reason I got the wltoys 12428. Since then I've had to replace the combo esc receiver 3 times so then i put a axial esc a flysky receiver an a 27t servo and a all metal rear differential.
Thanks to this review that you posted a couple of months ago I ordered one of these and got it just last week. I have to say, I love it. One good thing about it is that you can adjust the power from the controller so I could turn it down to teach my 4yo daughter how to control it without it going crazy.
I bought my son one of those and the remote is funny you can push the steering wheel to the other side of the remote to make it right or left handed its funky never seen another one like it
Hi Kevin, may you disassemble the rear axle of Wltoys 12428 and watch there, if it has metal gears or not? A few guys from discussions claim, that the latest versions od Wltoys 12428 have metal gears in diffs. Many of us are curious about that. Maybe you could make video. Thanks
Hi I know this is an old post but mine came with metal diffs from the factory. I was curious too so I disassembled the diffs to look and to my great delight they were metal !!!
This is the first rc car I have bought and it's because of your channel! It arrived today and its weird you have uploaded this video today! I love it so much! If you could upload more on the lwtoys I would love it! Good video! Thanks alot
Another great vid Kev. My son and I each own a 12428 from watching your channel. When he drives his into things he yells "what happened?" and Ooooohhhhooooo and tumble-wumble! He starts all his bash sessions with " WLToys versus staircase"... Keep the content coming we love it Mate!! Cheers from Boston!
Dear kevin, im a 13 year old kid looking for a good traxxas car for a good price, i want to buy the traxxas slash 2wd do you think that is a good idea? And do you think that i should buy extra parts, if yes what parts, greetings Julian
I don't think Kevin will see this so I'll reply for him. Firstly, though I only have the Skully and slash 4x4 I think that the 2wd slash is a great choice. It is simpler and lighter than a 4x4 and will still perform well on road and off road. As for upgrades if you want to save some money get the brushed version and buy a 60 amp goolrc esc and 4300kv motor combo. It's the same as the one I use in my Traxxas Skully and only costs about £25. If you upgrade to brushless or buy a brushless version get some metal drive shafts. GPM racing steel drive shafts have worked well for me in my Traxxas Skully. Some aluminium parts like stub axle carriers may be needed if you crash a lot. I have videos of my Skully on my channel if you want to see how the Goolrc motor and esc performs. Hope this helps!
@@KevinTalbotTV No I bought them from the UK! 😉 Now he isn't that bouncy like before and take jumps better! Got it 1year and only 1 led in the front broke!
hey kev! thanks for the content again! it's so much fun to watch you guys!! Over here, there is not much people bashing. Maybe i come over to great brittain to bash there :) cheers!
pat ist a vaper - thats ultracool ! i had buy the 911 of course your video - the car is amazing - antill 2 mounths the steering servo gives up bud is order an new for 5 bugs ..... im waiting still
What I really like about your videos is that you remind us that RC cars are just made to give us joy. It's all about having fun
@@firstnamebunchofnumbers not fun

You should make a series about upgrading the hell out of that dirt cheap rc
Yeah thats a good idea
I'm running brushless set up and 3s 1300 Lipo.locked rear metal diff.waiting on metal front diff.locking it to..stock plastic stuff is junk..
@@billwiththeb
I believe the latest ones come with front and rear metal gears. I can confirm the rear diff is metal!
Came in a windowless box.

Yay, the retern of the wltoys 12428
Id say its more of a rock racer, they usually have a solid rear axle & independent front suspension & geared for speed more then a crawler.
Ohhh, the unbeatable and reliable 12428, amazing.
You the RC car and truck man Kev I'll give you that !
Hi Kevin Your Vids Are The Best
I do enjoy using mine a lot. I am now going to get another crawler this week. Thanks!

Nice!! I really love rock crawlers
I love all your videos 😍😍
Did you ever make that video about the oil in the stock shock absorbers?
amazing vid kev we love it keep it up
Great bash as always I have the wl toys cars and I love it I just put metal diff gears in mine and bigger tires
Nice little rig. Flexable and durable. Have a great one kev.
YOU ARE ⚡BEST⚡
You should do nitro speed vs x max speed and max for both of them
I like your rc cars and your videos

@@radiocontrolled9181 Yes mine were metal too, but now they are worn
@@chrastitko Hi buy them from banggood, they are cheap, and change them. Car will run like new again.
Do a test between the wltoys a959 and this rc car
Sorry so late... can a brushless motor be put in this rc?
Fun dune buggy... not much of a crawler. Looking forward to a diff lock and oil filled shocks video! Perhaps a 3S brushless conversion as well... :)
Glad to see your channel growing more and more each day kev you deserve the followers👍
Thanks dude :)

nice dude, I hope you enjoy it! just dont land jumps with the power on!
the expensive rc car has metal chassis and the metal are not flexible but the wltoys 12428 has the most bending flexibleity and strong
Nice one kev 👍
Friend, I find your channel on RUclips much of the time but I really like the videos of Automodelo nitro.
When is the monster trucks going to be done
i just ordered my trx 4 chassis kit. im so excited for it!
AvHsA buy tools, I just built a Stampede 4X4 Kit and that sucked.
Clark McKinnon Don’t worry I have a full set of mip’s. 👍
I bought those too, they are amazing and worth the price tag, I didn’t have finger tips after I was done with the kit tho. Just so many screws.
Must remember axiel scx10.. I think he said.
WLtoys across
I know it topped out at 24.7 mph. But it might do 30 mph if you try it on a full charge
10428 or 12428 which is better
Also where can you get metal trans gears for the 10428

I got one but the drive shaft bended but other than that it's pretty good
“Who’s farted “ i am dying😂😂😂
arent we all???
You should make a company the produces parts for rc's that ran out of business
Make parts for rc's that arent getting new parts made?
@@deanbruh5686 yea
“It even makes tire noises”🤣🤣🤣
Loving the vids Kev and thumbs upping everyone of them
Make video of upgrading cheap rc car
Soooo flexible......Did RMP make it?
Looks like a nice rig
Great video,love my wltoys a979b,tuff little truck.
a cheap car is actually a fast car

I've got the same cheap RC and upgraded it with new shocks. Now it's 2 times better than before!!! Can't beat it for the price!!!
can you fill the stock shocks with oil?
@@KevinTalbotTV No I bought them from the UK! 😉 Now he isn't that bouncy like before and take jumps better! Got it 1year and only 1 led in the front broke!
@@tonil6604 You can, you need to add o-ring. There is info online.
Certainly got loads of torque twist
A how do you bind a 4 ch swrpass receiver to the wl toys rock crawler in your video
Nothing can keep up with the Kev-Style-TRX4!!!
Nice video Kev keep it up mate 👍🙂
I have a KTM 85

@@joegatehouse5939 wtf really they are a good bike

Steve’s crawler has a pair of balls on the back hahaha!
Wich shock oil is best for the across?
Hey Kev, i live in the United States, and i cant find any of those WLtoys for under a hundred bucks! I have looked!
Dale Tyler I live in the Uk and there all up for about £60
Great👌🏼

Best RUclipsr
Have U ever seen rc sparks? Aussie rc playground, rich duperbash or rc tanks and trucks? Check out rc dude 81.
Expensive vs cheap cheaps always win
Weird, but there's a wrong radio remote on the link... The car is the same but the radio isn't.
Key can you please do the redcat volcano EPX
95 WOOHOO FROM TEXAS, COMMENT 35, LOVE THE VIDEOS. WISH YOU AND PAT AND STEMP WOULD COME TO THE STATES.

Good job Kevin
Drive your first rc car for offroading

Good one.
Hello Kevin
Looks good mate i like it
Kevin you should see how my upgraded ACROSS RC handles and drives. So much more power and longer run times.
love your vids
Have you reviewed the redcat gen 7 or the gen 8 crawlers?
i havent dude
Always excited for another vid, you ever gonna try using the inflatable tires over water?
it sounds really good but wont work . if the car floats it will be too top heavy so it will just flip over
Mount them really wide
Nice
Best video keep it up
Key Kev, I know you’ve shown the 12428 a lot. My question is if you’ve ever added shock fluid. Cause it still looks bouncy stock.
Can you please buy the hpi trophy flux s
Good non-Traxxas brushless motors and esc’s that will fit a slash 4x4?
mamba x
it's challenge not challange. Please correct your thumbnail |Kev
Did you run out of money to build your monster truck?
He makes about 12 million dollars a year he just needs time to order parts and put it together
Try it in water
Did you ever fit the bigger wheels/tyres to this or the 1/10 version?
I love these no worries rc's
I love your vids
2 years ago 50$ now 100$ the price jump is so steep.
Looks like a pretty good buggy for the price for sure! FIRST
Not first
My front shaft things constantly are breaking lol
Man really you need to drop the whole over obsessive American thing.
Greetings 🙂, is this wltoys (12427) still worth it in 2023 ?
Great montage music
ask for one of the traxxas sir?😁
smoaking kills
im gonna get this car
Kev plz move to New Bedford, Massachusetts so I can hug you. You inspire me to be a better person. Thank you.
thanks dude
I like rc car super
