An update from a longtime owner of this truck. Parts availability has grown. You can literally search Amazon for "wltoys 12428 upgrade parts" and find shock upgrades, tire upgrades, differential upgrades, metal body parts, everything. You could easily put $300+ into this inexpensive little truck. So I'm going to help guide you through what I consider essential upgrades. > Metal gear differentials are *mandatory.* If you bash this truck and slam the power and skid and jump and do all the stuff Nate and Abby do with it, you're going to strip both differentials. I wrecked mine inside of 6 months. Upgrading them to metal gears is an affordable piece that'll dramatically improve your beloved truck. > If the bouncy, bouncy shocks aren't to your liking, you can drop some oil-filled shocks in there for a perfectly reasonable price and end up with a far more "planted" truck. Personally I enjoy the bounciness, makes it feel just more lively. > The stock tires aren't great. You can dramatically improve its grippiness in hill climbs and general off-road performance by installing larger, wider tires. Seriously, never underestimate the effect good tires can have in off-roading.
Kristjan Kalda This is a common issue with these buggies; the ESC/Rx isn’t quite up to the performance demands put upon it, and can indeed overheat. Unfortunately, beyond replacing it with an upgraded unit, there’s not much you can do other than reduce the load on it. Frequent high-throttle Fwd/Rev direction changes put stress on the entire drivetrain, from ESC, all the way through to the tires; it even makes the battery drain quicker. So minimizing this type of operation should help the ESC stay cooler. Also, weight-reduction is always helpful. My biggest recommendation with these buggies is to remove that silly spare tire from the back of the rollcage! It makes the buggy much more prone to rollovers, and adds unnecessary weight. And removing the body panels could provide more airflow to the electronic components, although it would also expose them to more contaminants, if you drive in dirt, sand, water or mud.
This is the most favourite clip. I showed my wife a week or two ago about this car and she was hooked. . Great to have my wife involved in my hobby. Thanx Abbey.
I love you guys! I have a great wife, but she is not into rc anything.😢 i wish she shared my passion for fun! Keep io the good work, both you guys! I enjoyed this video, the best part is seeing your wife share in the excitement. Rock On Brother!
Hi there guys Rob again. You were saying how good the wl toys buggy in blue was and that it was almost the same as the 12428. I agree so much I have one and can't fault it in any way. It's fast it looks good and if you turn down the throttle you can then use it as a Crawler with ease. I've given mine to Lisa my wife for her to learn with an she's like me, she absolutely loves it. It makes a fantastic drifter and basher when on full power. Yet makes a brilliant crawler when turned down. On the trail on an evening with all the LEDs on it looks absolutely brilliant and its faultless. Plus it's unbreakable too. I've tried and tried to break it. But how ever hard I try I never seem to be able too. I totally love to play with this buggy and love jumping it off ramps all the time. With it doing between 43 and 45 miles an hour fairly it's great even off road too. I do like the fact you can bash it by The way but I wont ever be doing that ever. I haven't ever done it though and I never would. I think it would be very interesting on the short course, especially as it's so fast I'd give the buggy 11 out of ten every day of the week with out fail. To sum it up for you in three words brilliant, absolutely, brilliant. Best regards Rob Sanderson from Doncaster, England.
I love this video because this was my first rc car. The sheer speed and ruggedness makes it a must buy. One time I drove this thing up a ramp and it flew up three feet and landed on its back, and it still works perfectly today. Thank you so much for creating this channel! Without you, I’d probably end up spending 100 bucks on the dreaded “Walmart drone”, thanks again! 👍
I have this truck and its amazing. modified the battery tray, change the rear differential and converted to brushless due to burned ESC. this is always in the back of my car during my RC itch. it just put smile in my face every flip-over.
This is my favorite video because my son and I are new to the hobby. I would have never new that cheaper rc cars could be worth getting. Now because of this video and this channel I have found rc cars that would be a great buy for my kids and i. Thank you TheRcSaylors.
I like the RC trucks the best. My husband loves flying the drones but I am better on land. He recently introduced me to your channel and now I am hooked.
This is one of my favorite videos of yours, partially because of the RC, and mostly because of the joy in this! I just purchased one myself- largely because of this video, and because you explicitly mention it as a must-buy in your 2019 recommendations (over three years later!!) Also - this thing has a high load cutoff, so it's possible that when it gave up on the hill, the load limit kicked in, in which case you just turn it off and on again. But 12 minutes of hard bashing on a Li-ion is not bad. What a great little RC!
Awesome sauce, this buggy truck is pretty awesome. And for the price?!?😨 Pretty awesome.😍 I love it. Descent fast and quick. Another $75 out of pocket, thanks guys......
+TheRcSaylors You guys never stop to amaze. That price is awesome, thank you again for supporting us fans. I try to return the favor. Truly thanks' ;) 😂
One of my favorite reviews. I bought this for my nephew now I'm jealous that I didn't buy one for myself. Best budget friendly rc trucks you can buy. Well worth the money. Great review guys! I need one of these trucks!
Thank you for your honesty. I just bought the 12428. Am new RCing. A silver VW Rabbit was my childhood RC car. Went in the forward direction, and left in reverse. This car is seemingly way far advanced than that... LOL.
This video, your recommendations, and a few other "top ten best rc cars under $100" lists influenced my purchasing this WLtoys 12428, 1:12 scale buggy. I did it via your hyperlink to Gearbest's flash sale. I've used it only 2 days so far but so far so good. It comes with a EU-US adaptor and is completely RTR ready to run. The six LEDs are awesome in the evening or at night. I also purchased and am waiting on a Feiyou-03 Desert Eagle, which is the 12824's competition. It is red, around the same price and has a 390 brushless motor. They say they drive very similar to each other. Always good to have or purchase an extra battery or two, which are compatible for the two models I mentioned, it's a 7.4V 1500 mAh. I will update this post. Thanks Sailors for your videos and the quality, unbiased recommendations.
Hey guys, this has to be my favorite video because it's the first one that introduced me to y'all's channel. I love the way you guys review and test the rc vehicles. I'm glad i found this. This is certainly one rc I've always wanted.
Aw man good for you! mine won't arrive for another 2 weeks I think. It was shipped out last december 8, but man I am so excited after looking at this vid.
OK... you were right. You said we'd thank you for ordering the 12428 so..... THANK YOU! I've had the buggy for a week now and it's brought out the kid in this old man. I love this thing, inside or out it's a blast. I put an all-in-one camera/transmitter on the hood and WOOT-WOOT! It's the most fun I've had in a long time so once again.... thank you.... for the recommendation and all the great videos you both do. *Dance the Skies*
I love this video because of the simplicity of review. Nailed it on the kind of terrain it handles, cons.. . and the logs. ☺ thats exactly the kind of info i need. Simple and efficient.
allenm00 yes this is the main reason i bought two of these last Christmas. However nothing has broken yet apart from a small bodywork chip from one of the car when my son drove it at full speed against a rock. Amazing RC car. Quality / Price is off the scale.
I can honestly say I didn't expect how well it handles and the speed for that price!!! This is going to be perfect for my 6 year old son. Thanks for this review!
I just ordered 2 of the WLToys 12423 SCT versions of this along with an extra Blue Feiyue version body shell! :D And, 2 Orange FuriBee F36 Quads along with an extra Blue JJRC body shell and Blue Blades! :D
Cool! Can't wait to get ours. I plan on installing an outrunner BL. (I use outrunners for EVERYTHING! So much lighter, more efficient, and more torque than inrunners). ;) BTW: Do you know what pitch or Mod the spur/pinion gears are for these?
Colby Erwin definitely, I started with ground and moved to air. Both amazing hobbies. Extremely recommend the traxxas stampede or slash as starter trucks! Good luck and hope you have fun!!
I like this one the most because I want it for my wife. I'm into flying but she's not very good at it but she loves the cars and this would be her first.
This is my favourite video because it was the first one I watched from your channel in my search for a great RC car for my son. Your enthusiasm and honesty caught me immediately so I'm hooked up and subscribed. Watched over 40 video's now in last week and yes this WL 12428 is already ordered and on it's way. Keep up the good work, really love it.
You two make the perfect couple! I enjoy your guys page and I've Benny getting back into the rc hobby more because of you guys. Just wish my love was more into rcs. Thanks for doing what y'all do keep it up
This is the my favorite video for your contest because the RC truck is actually pretty cool compared to the 2 drones. I watch your videos a lot however I rarely comment. I mostly watch for your drone videos I feel you give an honest opinion on your reviews. Also you don't only do videos on high dollar RC's, I have watched way more affordable RC video's on your channel then on most of the others I've watched. Keep up the good work.
Seth Haughian NO NO NO DONT TRUST CHINESE BRANDS WHEN THEY SAY WATER PROOF it will only last for a while in water then it will fail but after it dries it should be working fine again
Based on my research, I'd say that it's "Weather Resistant". Since that is what the advertisement on Gearbest emphasizes, "play with it no matter what weather". In short - it can handle being splashed through shallow puddles, bashed over muddy terrain, or run during a modest rainstorm. I wouldn't plow it through deep water, immerse it, or take it out during monsoon season though, even though it can probably take such once or twice.
Hi Abby and Nate, I have been an avid follower of your channel for about a year now and mainly followed for the aeroplanes, I bought a XK A800 because Abby said it was a good plane for beginners and it is awesome. Just got one of these now due to how you rave about it and I am very glad to say another great recommendation from the legendary Saylor family. All the best from the UK.
Oh man.. you guys convinced me and just bought one. It is 65 dolls flash sale.. so... I could not resist! Thanks Rc saylors!!! I am sure I will have tons of fun with it!
This video is my favorite because it made me realize there are decent toy grade RC trucks out there for my son. Buying one of these for my son for xmas because of this video. Maybe now he will stay off my Traxxas Stamped. Lol Thanks guys!!
This is video was one of my favorite videos because I was looking for a budget friendly beginner R/C for my three boys for Christmas. I had never heard of this particular vehicle thank god I subscribed to your channel or else I might not have heard of it. Really do appreciate the effort you both put into your videos. Entertaining yet informative. Great channel.
This is my favorite review of all time on your channel. There were so many good ones but this one inspired to ask for this RC truck for my birthday, which I received and I love it. Thanks for the fun, informative and entertaining review.
This is my favourite video because wltoys are amazing, I had a Cessna From these guys and it got me into flying. Its great to see this thing handles as good as it looks, just more proof you don't need to spend crazy to get into the hobby and have fun. Keep up the good work guy, all the way from Australia
I'm 3 years behind so that one's probably not available anymore but that is a great little truck and what a bargain. Bulletproof and excellent run time. Thank for that great rescue.😎
This is my favorite video from you guys! I have been looking for affordable options to get my kids into rc. Love the real reviews! Keep up the good work!
I purchased one of these about month ago (and use it almost everyday!) and it is definitely a blast to drive, it's my favorite r/c I've ever owned so far. At the time of purchase I paid $55 (free shipping) for mine from a site called tomtop and it only took about a week to arrive due to them having a US warehouse ^^ I hear a lot of people complain about it not having a throttle trim, but my transmitter has it and I can confirm it works so there may be slight variations between models? I dunno my biggest recommendation for anyone about to buy one is to invest in either a few new OEM diffs, or look into metal diff gears. There's a forum post (on rcforums I believe?) where someone found and linked where to get metal gears (I believe they're from Remo). FYI, my truck is currently rwd because of a worn out front diff....though on the bright side, I can say it still handles pretty well on only 2 wheel drive, lol Also, if you're like me and can only primarily drive on the street, you'll want a few sets of extra tires, or at least a separate set of street only tires because these knubbies wear down really quickly on the street...constantly doing burnouts and wheelies doesn't help either, lol
"vehicles that come with "ligth buckets"" Just wanted to alert you to this typo in case you want to fix it. I was happy to see the flash sale on this, and I submitted my order today!
hello there i have this buggy already 7months. running once a week. one issue only the propshaft got. broken and replaced with a metallic one. rear oil shocks KYX for 1/10 scale installed in this buggy 😂 whole painted now in matt black: looks like a little Mad Max car so cool enjoy!
I can't wait till you guys hit the 100K subscribers, I know you will have a big party and a well deserved one too. Of all the channels I have subscribed to, none are growing no where close to your channel's growth. Keep up the hard work and in no time you guys will hit that 100K mark.
This is my favorite video because I was looking for an “above toy grade” 4x4 RC vehicle and came across this video which led to me doing lots of research on it and subscribing to your page. I’ve watched several of your videos and keep up to date with new ones. Thanks guys! -A fellow Kentuckian!
Mine finally arrived. A few comments: 1> They revised the controller. The new transmitter now includes a throttle trim, to turn down the sensitivity of the throttle trigger. It's also a little bigger, and takes 4 AA batteries. 2> This thing is SO MUCH FUN. 3> Put an FPV camera on it. Seriously. Go do that now. You will have all the fun. What I did was put a rubber band around the top lid, then pin the micro AIO camera against the top of that front V strut and the top lid with the rubber band. Run a wire to the back of the truck, then put a small battery in the extra space in the battery compartment to power it. This combination will outmatch the Ratings King!
finally you get it on your channel. the only thing I didn't like on these RC are the not oilfield shocks! but for this price it is awesome! and if you want you can upgrade it too! nice
Stumbled upon your channel while looking at drone videos. Immediately subscribed. Love it. My kind of videos. Really great recommendations and reviews for the average consumer.
AWESOME BTW thank you guys so much for the dromida twin explorer. it's my first plane ever and I took it for my first flight it was awesome thank so much. BIG FAN!!!
I love this video because this was the first video of yours that I ever came across and now I am totally hooked! Thought I'd have a fight on my hands when I told my wife I wanted to buy an RC car but she told me that SHE WANTS ONE TOO!!! Subscribed!!!
This is my favorite video because it was such an awesome video and it convinced me to purchase this rc. It’s an awesome little truck and I have so much fun every time I use it.
This is my favorite video because i love seeing you two have fun and enjoying great rc. I also love this viseo because i loved this rc when i bought i had to save up for 2 weeks to get it i had to do all of chores and watch her blind cat. But i also love how u two dont spare us details u will tell us if you dont think we should get the rc at the time. #favoriteyoutubers
Buy this RC here - tinyurl.com/y5fqy77k

An update from a longtime owner of this truck.
Parts availability has grown. You can literally search Amazon for "wltoys 12428 upgrade parts" and find shock upgrades, tire upgrades, differential upgrades, metal body parts, everything.
You could easily put $300+ into this inexpensive little truck.
So I'm going to help guide you through what I consider essential upgrades.
> Metal gear differentials are *mandatory.* If you bash this truck and slam the power and skid and jump and do all the stuff Nate and Abby do with it, you're going to strip both differentials. I wrecked mine inside of 6 months. Upgrading them to metal gears is an affordable piece that'll dramatically improve your beloved truck.
> If the bouncy, bouncy shocks aren't to your liking, you can drop some oil-filled shocks in there for a perfectly reasonable price and end up with a far more "planted" truck. Personally I enjoy the bounciness, makes it feel just more lively.
> The stock tires aren't great. You can dramatically improve its grippiness in hill climbs and general off-road performance by installing larger, wider tires. Seriously, never underestimate the effect good tires can have in off-roading.
Which tires would you recommend?
Do you have any tips against overheating? Atleast that's why I think it keeps cutting out when there's still battery left.
Can you post some links to Amazon products for the upgrades you mentioned above? Thanks!
@@victorandrewlopez3879 banggood sell spares also
Kristjan Kalda This is a common issue with these buggies; the ESC/Rx isn’t quite up to the performance demands put upon it, and can indeed overheat. Unfortunately, beyond replacing it with an upgraded unit, there’s not much you can do other than reduce the load on it. Frequent high-throttle Fwd/Rev direction changes put stress on the entire drivetrain, from ESC, all the way through to the tires; it even makes the battery drain quicker. So minimizing this type of operation should help the ESC stay cooler.
Also, weight-reduction is always helpful. My biggest recommendation with these buggies is to remove that silly spare tire from the back of the rollcage! It makes the buggy much more prone to rollovers, and adds unnecessary weight. And removing the body panels could provide more airflow to the electronic components, although it would also expose them to more contaminants, if you drive in dirt, sand, water or mud.

Samuel Girouard not always true, especially in the rc plane industry. they rarely come with transmitters.
One of my favorite reviews. I bought this for my nephew now I'm jealous that I didn't buy one for myself. Best budget friendly rc trucks you can buy. Well worth the money. Great review guys! I need one of these trucks!
Thanks for the great video RcSaylors! Now because of you guy's I own this awesome car! :D

Thank you for your honesty. I just bought the 12428. Am new RCing. A silver VW Rabbit was my childhood RC car. Went in the forward direction, and left in reverse. This car is seemingly way far advanced than that... LOL.
The truck was awesome, but the question is... Was the box any good? ;)
This is my favorite video of yours. It is because it made me recommend this truck to my brother and he loves it.
Just ordered one of these for my son as a present for good grades. :)
He is going to Love it!
Hello friend. How long it last ?
my daughter loves watching Abby navigate cars/plans keep it going saylors
Thank you very much!
Hi guys! It really is a nice truck! I see it can be loads of fun! And you’re a very lucky guy to have a girl that’s into rc stuff 😃
It is a blast, and we are lucky to have each other :)
We got this for my son a couple months back. And he loves it. Been working well with no problems.
That's great to hear! Sounds like a lot of people are having awesome experiences with this. Really glad we picked one up!

You should review the RC 12423!
I love this video because of the simplicity of review. Nailed it on the kind of terrain it handles, cons.. . and the logs. ☺ thats exactly the kind of info i need. Simple and efficient.
can you get replacement parts for this like rear axle gears, shocks, front gears, axle shafts, etc?
allenm00 Try Banggood.com plenty of parts also some Feiyue FY01 parts are interchangeable with the Wltoys 12428 and 12423
allenm00 yes this is the main reason i bought two of these last Christmas. However nothing has broken yet apart from a small bodywork chip from one of the car when my son drove it at full speed against a rock. Amazing RC car. Quality / Price is off the scale.
Where do you go to get them
Yes, I have bought quite a few already just in case
@@JtfHaddock go to the gearbest site or banggood
This is my favorite video because for the price I believe it good value for the money.Its a great little truck.I'm a big fan of your youtube channel.
Guys you have to get the wltoys a959-b best and has more power than arc car that cost 80$+
I already have a 12428, it works great, it's durable and super fun to drive
Does it lasted a while or breaks easily?
Waterproof? oiled filled shocks? do some crawling with it. do a vid where it goes over everything,run time, everything
This is a very good idea!!
I think it's only splash proof
I can honestly say I didn't expect how well it handles and the speed for that price!!! This is going to be perfect for my 6 year old son. Thanks for this review!
You are very welcome! I know you'll be very happy with your purchase :) You'll probably end up wanting one for yourself to drive around with him!
I just ordered 2 of the WLToys 12423 SCT versions of this along with an extra Blue Feiyue version body shell! :D
And, 2 Orange FuriBee F36 Quads along with an extra Blue JJRC body shell and Blue Blades! :D
You are about to have some SERIOUS FUN!! Woot!!
GITech I've owned the 12423 for around 9 months and it's my favourite Rc car
Cool! Can't wait to get ours. I plan on installing an outrunner BL. (I use outrunners for EVERYTHING! So much lighter, more efficient, and more torque than inrunners). ;)
BTW: Do you know what pitch or Mod the spur/pinion gears are for these?
I love this video because you guys really capture the capabilities of this R/C car!!!
I've only ever flown before. should I get into ground vehicles or not?
Definitely! If you want to get into ground vehicles, this would be an amazing first one to give it a shot!
alright! I might just have to get one!
Colby Erwin I would get a traxxas rustler it 200 dollars and can do 30 mph right out of the box
Yeah but not this, get a losi or arrma, just not this
Colby Erwin definitely, I started with ground and moved to air. Both amazing hobbies. Extremely recommend the traxxas stampede or slash as starter trucks! Good luck and hope you have fun!!
I like this one the most because I want it for my wife. I'm into flying but she's not very good at it but she loves the cars and this would be her first.
looks like a vaterra twin hammers

I want one
Awesome :-) Linked in the description box.
You two make the perfect couple! I enjoy your guys page and I've Benny getting back into the rc hobby more because of you guys. Just wish my love was more into rcs. Thanks for doing what y'all do keep it up
We love sharing a hobby together :) Thanks josh! Happy driving and flying!
I've got it too... I plan to change the battery too! Have you found any suitable battery for it? (sry for the probably bad English, I'm german :P)
missing.no_ I'm American English is my first language. Know some Spanish but it's terrible tbh
This is the my favorite video for your contest because the RC truck is actually pretty cool compared to the 2 drones. I watch your videos a lot however I rarely comment. I mostly watch for your drone videos I feel you give an honest opinion on your reviews. Also you don't only do videos on high dollar RC's, I have watched way more affordable RC video's on your channel then on most of the others I've watched. Keep up the good work.
Is it waterproof
Seth Haughian I don't think so but I don't know it
It says it's waterproof on the box...not sure to what extent though.
I expect splash proof.
Seth Haughian NO NO NO DONT TRUST CHINESE BRANDS WHEN THEY SAY WATER PROOF it will only last for a while in water then it will fail but after it dries it should be working fine again
Based on my research, I'd say that it's "Weather Resistant".
Since that is what the advertisement on Gearbest emphasizes, "play with it no matter what weather".
In short - it can handle being splashed through shallow puddles, bashed over muddy terrain, or run during a modest rainstorm.
I wouldn't plow it through deep water, immerse it, or take it out during monsoon season though, even though it can probably take such once or twice.
Hi Abby and Nate, I have been an avid follower of your channel for about a year now and mainly followed for the aeroplanes, I bought a XK A800 because Abby said it was a good plane for beginners and it is awesome. Just got one of these now due to how you rave about it and I am very glad to say another great recommendation from the legendary Saylor family. All the best from the UK.
I must unsubscribe Lol I just bought the 1/10 scale version of this and thinking of getting this now.
OH MYY!!!!
Lol, don't do that!! :) You really NEED to add this to your collection. You can thank us later, haha!

This is my favorite video because it was one of the first videos I watched and I just love that truck
This video is my favorite because it made me realize there are decent toy grade RC trucks out there for my son. Buying one of these for my son for xmas because of this video. Maybe now he will stay off my Traxxas Stamped. Lol Thanks guys!!
This is video was one of my favorite videos because I was looking for a budget friendly beginner R/C for my three boys for Christmas. I had never heard of this particular vehicle thank god I subscribed to your channel or else I might not have heard of it. Really do appreciate the effort you both put into your videos. Entertaining yet informative. Great channel.
This is my favorite video because you guys are as awesome as the truck which is just awesome !

*Dance the Skies*
Woot! It's on sale!!! That's a steal for sure :-D
This is my favorite review of all time on your channel. There were so many good ones but this one inspired to ask for this RC truck for my birthday, which I received and I love it. Thanks for the fun, informative and entertaining review.
This is my favourite video because wltoys are amazing, I had a Cessna
From these guys and it got me into flying. Its great to see this thing handles as good as it looks, just more proof you don't need to spend crazy to get into the hobby and have fun. Keep up the good work guy, all the way from Australia
I love this video because it looks like such a fun RC vehicle. You guys seem really genuinely surprised by it's performance.
This is only the second vid of you guys I've watched and I love it! I like how you review it while driving it it's so fun!
Thanks a lot :) Appreciate the feedback!
I'm 3 years behind so that one's probably not available anymore but that is a great little truck and what a bargain. Bulletproof and excellent run time. Thank for that great rescue.😎
Recur. Sorry😎
Revue. Does anyone make a cheap smartphone.with larger keys?😎
This is my favorite video.. cause made me go and buy one right then and I still love it. Thanks guys... you kick ass! thanks for all the videos!!!!!
This is my favorite video because it enticed my purchase of this alsome vehicle. A great well made product. A lot of fun.
Wow! A killer rc for a super price. So fast. Your passion is catchy!!!!
Great model. I love the locations you use to test these models.
Thanks Paul! 👍😎⚓
Bought one of these and drove it for the first time today. It was a lot of fun! I'm currently charging the battery again for hopefully two runs today.
That is so awesome Bryan!! Have fun my friend :-)
This is my favorite video from you guys! I have been looking for affordable options to get my kids into rc. Love the real reviews! Keep up the good work!
Price and quality makes this an awesome truck, I'm so pleased I've got one, and I used to have a Traxxas nitro truck, give me this one all day long 😎😎
yall are cute together and enjoyed watching yalls channel for the 1st time
Thank you very much!
I purchased one of these about month ago (and use it almost everyday!) and it is definitely a blast to drive, it's my favorite r/c I've ever owned so far. At the time of purchase I paid $55 (free shipping) for mine from a site called tomtop and it only took about a week to arrive due to them having a US warehouse ^^ I hear a lot of people complain about it not having a throttle trim, but my transmitter has it and I can confirm it works so there may be slight variations between models? I dunno
my biggest recommendation for anyone about to buy one is to invest in either a few new OEM diffs, or look into metal diff gears. There's a forum post (on rcforums I believe?) where someone found and linked where to get metal gears (I believe they're from Remo). FYI, my truck is currently rwd because of a worn out front diff....though on the bright side, I can say it still handles pretty well on only 2 wheel drive, lol
Also, if you're like me and can only primarily drive on the street, you'll want a few sets of extra tires, or at least a separate set of street only tires because these knubbies wear down really quickly on the street...constantly doing burnouts and wheelies doesn't help either, lol
"vehicles that come with "ligth buckets"" Just wanted to alert you to this typo in case you want to fix it. I was happy to see the flash sale on this, and I submitted my order today!
Thanks for this Bryan, I'll be sure to correct that ;) You are going to have a blast with this RC! Woot! Excited for you my friend :)
I like this video because I really like the truck and you do a awesome job doing the review. I love watching your videos.
Missed this video 2 months ago, just bought it for $66. Thanks again guys!!
Glad we mentioned it again :) Happy driving!

Nice review!!
Megaglow Z with a fpv cam on it.
Thanks for the review, I have been eyeballing this for a couple weeks and now I want one more than ever
Wow the 1/12 scale 4wd was totally cool. Love your channel.
Thanks a lot Mike! You should definitely grab one of these :)
I can't wait till you guys hit the 100K subscribers, I know you will have a big party and a well deserved one too. Of all the channels I have subscribed to, none are growing no where close to your channel's growth. Keep up the hard work and in no time you guys will hit that 100K mark.
Thank you so much! It's been pretty wild lately but we are loving all the new friends from around the world :)
This is my favorite video because I was looking for an “above toy grade” 4x4 RC vehicle and came across this video which led to me doing lots of research on it and subscribing to your page. I’ve watched several of your videos and keep up to date with new ones. Thanks guys! -A fellow Kentuckian!
Mine finally arrived.
A few comments:
1> They revised the controller. The new transmitter now includes a throttle trim, to turn down the sensitivity of the throttle trigger. It's also a little bigger, and takes 4 AA batteries.
2> This thing is SO MUCH FUN.
3> Put an FPV camera on it. Seriously. Go do that now. You will have all the fun.
What I did was put a rubber band around the top lid, then pin the micro AIO camera against the top of that front V strut and the top lid with the rubber band.
Run a wire to the back of the truck, then put a small battery in the extra space in the battery compartment to power it.
This combination will outmatch the Ratings King!
finally you get it on your channel. the only thing I didn't like on these RC are the not oilfield shocks! but for this price it is awesome! and if you want you can upgrade it too! nice
Stumbled upon your channel while looking at drone videos. Immediately subscribed. Love it. My kind of videos. Really great recommendations and reviews for the average consumer.
I can't believe it IM ABOUT TO GET THIS RC
AWESOME BTW thank you guys so much for the dromida twin explorer. it's my first plane ever and I took it for my first flight it was awesome thank so much. BIG FAN!!!
I love this video because this was the first video of yours that I ever came across and now I am totally hooked! Thought I'd have a fight on my hands when I told my wife I wanted to buy an RC car but she told me that SHE WANTS ONE TOO!!! Subscribed!!!
Wonderful review, you guys had a lot of fun. I just got this for my birthday, I'll report back when I can put it through it paces.
This is my favorite video because it was such an awesome video and it convinced me to purchase this rc. It’s an awesome little truck and I have so much fun every time I use it.
