I have 5 wltoys buggys including a brushless version and I love em all. All have been bashed back flipped etc. Brilliant value for money. Oh all have slightly bigger wheels, for garden grass and all have better spoilers. Great when you have mates around or the kids... brilliant. John
Those driveshafts, rear bulkhead, hinge pin holder, front bumper, battery holder, battery hard case style, body holders on the side of the chassis, etc. are all from the MJX Hyper Go series, specifically the 1/16 buggy.
That took way more abuse to break then I ever thought it would. I'm not easy to impress, and I'm surely impressed. And great video shots man!!! Them slide and close calls were sick!!
That's because it's mostly MJX hyper go parts all over it chassis and all All it is a WL Toys body. Other than that it's a good old MJX hyper go. If you have an MJX with a plastic chassis you would agree. Then you can do the comparison.😮😊
Just got mine great little buggy but no grease in the diffs !!!! Few more screws to remove than most other WLToys, the diff cover bottom is metal top is plastic. Smooth as butter now the diffs have been greased !! Highly recommend you grease the diffs !! The servo wire is really short so I can see how it broke that easy. I swapped out the tx and rx for Dumbo X6 with giro receiver.
broke both my shock towers on first run flipped the car and they shattered so easily, cannot find spare shock tower upgrades to alloy even in Jan 2024 so I have fitted 124007 shock towers after trimming 2mm off the bottom of the front alloy shock tower to prevent it hitting the diff driveshaft cups on the front.
I have just bought this but also bought a DumboRC controller with giro reciever for 22 quid 😁 they should just sell the car without receiver now the servo is non proprietary 3 wire 👍 or provide the Dumbo as an optional upgrade 👌
They just should learn and listen more from users/customers and also other makers like MJX/HBX/rlaarlo if they don’t own any of these company (this one has some MJX genes on it though😊)
Phil, those cvd shafts looks beefy as opposed to 124017 ones which are the week point. If you can check whether they fit to 124017/16, that would be a nice information for us that do plan to upgrade the cvd.
Dang. That Buggy took a beating. There seems to be a lot of buggys of this style/scale out there now. It's making it difficult to think of new adjectives for them. That terrain you were on was possibly a bit rough for a 1/12 scale.
I've always been interested in RC's but have never took the dive on a really good car, however I can genuinely watch your videos all day long! Such a good easy watch while learning all the RC lingo. Amazing work! Sub'd!
The wltoys 122019 (same as that other buggy In video except looks like a baby dbxl got me hooked on rc kept seeing videos about how this Cheap buggy was fast durable upgrade able at the time was $70
It's great to see a WL Toys car, going to the speed on the box, and that they've actually improved it over the previous cars, and not just made it longer, etc. I'm still hooning about my 144001, so I suppose this will be the test for this! Will it still be being talked about, 3 years after it's released?! I'd buy one of these to replace the 144001, if and when it ever breaks!! 😎👍🏻
This car will be good for Wltoys. Finally they seem to see the value in durability and truth in advertising. Im on board, ordering one for my next review. Nice job as always Tomley!
With the recent BG sale... it was tough to choose between this 124008 and a 124017 V2. I had a $12 off so went with the 124017 V2... but think I'll end up with one of these as well in a few months maybe 😂
Tomley, Mate I just watched this vid on Roku(Ya ya..) And I like both options, both really nice and good $ for spending. Good platform for kids to learn, And the King of....wait for it, Kevin Tolbert! 😁, Yes,No &Maybe I might be a Fan boy. Cheers Phil, Troy 😎
i had my wltoys pathfinder for about 4 years now i only have broken some suspension parts but the engine and everything else last a long time , yesturday i placed an order for a 124007 im starting to get addicted again to cheap underdog rc's
Fantastic little buggy, Phil! Awesome bashing and review!!! 😃 They usually make those in 2 versions, right? This kind of buggy and a desert one I guess... Anyway, looking forward to this one! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
It's a nice car cuz more than half of it is MJX hyper go. Now that I see that I just might have to get me one. Because I am an MJX fan. Looks like it's pretty stable off-road too. Pretty cool video Keep up the good work and I'll keep watching.😊😊😊. I just wish WL toys would it get better bodies not liking the bodies of them very much. Besides the purple and the blue buggies basically all of them look the same little minor details here and there and that's it. This looks like a really solid buggy so I'm going to get one just because of the MJX parts on it which makes me feel that it's going to be a solid basher.😊
I love your channel and learned so much from your videos as a newbie. May I ask what is the wheelbase of wltoys 124008 or 124017 and can I use a Tamiya rally car body on it's chassis. More power !
Are the shock towers the same in the 124008 as in the 124019? I just broke the plastic shock tower on my 008 and I dont know whether a metal replacement will work? Thanks
nice video, just curious, for the module battery, so we still need to keep the battery in the storage voltage by our own when not using? or the modulized battery can auto keep its voltage between over charged or lower voltage?
Back from the family walk now. That car is really cheap for what you get and those MJX style chassis are indestructible. Couple of little mods and it's a winner.
Hello, good video.. Thank you... For this model, which battery do you recommend to have more life and power without damaging the equipment? Thank you, pending your reply.
@@me.6737 You won't regret it it's a great buggy I took it out for a rip last night but make sure you grease the diffs they were bone dry in mine inside, there was grease outside I can recommend Putoline White Grease with PTFE 👍
I'm new to RC, I bought this car but I'd like to buy more street oriented tyres. How do I look for them in terms of hubs width, hub size, wheel and tyres size please?
Yes, that's important. It would be nice if this is a true 1/12 scale all the way through as opposed to the stretched 1/14 scale ones. Maybe this will lead to a series that will replace the 1242x ones that have gotten old and need the updated features = bell crank steering, vertical shocks, metal gears, oil filled metal bodied shocks, BRUSHLESS, etc. If they did a 12428/ 12427 style of buggy, maybe the silly thing can come apart without 57 screws!!

That was a great review. I always enjoy watching it. thank you👍👍
Great backflip action! Love the fact that it's 3s straight away and got up to speed stated. Great video ‼️👍👍🦾🦾
Thanks for the review.
Ive found the plastic shock tower weak and needed to replace within a few runs
broke both my shock towers on first run flipped the car and they shattered so easily, cannot find spare shock tower upgrades to alloy even in Jan 2024 so I have fitted 124007 shock towers after trimming 2mm off the bottom of the front alloy shock tower to prevent it hitting the diff driveshaft cups on the front.
That’s beyond crazy fast. And those tires have excellent grip!
Man finally found you . I love you bro. Thank you for the inspiration and knowledge
calm down
That sounded so nice on the speed runs. Cheers
Yeah… it’s a little ripper
I have just bought this but also bought a DumboRC controller with giro reciever for 22 quid 😁 they should just sell the car without receiver now the servo is non proprietary 3 wire 👍 or provide the Dumbo as an optional upgrade 👌
That little buggy looks like a tiny shredder! Little sender! Love it looks like it could handle a bit of a beating too!
At least as a brand they’re always trying.

Yes I would love to know the answer too!
I'll have a look when I fix it
0:02 i doubt they would fit seeing as it is "apparently" an all new platform and completely different to all there other buggies
Pretty sure i have LC racing ones in one of my wl toys.
@@TomleyRCits been 2 months now, have you tried it yet?
Thank you for bringing this to my attention Phil. I will have to look for one.
No probs dude
Nice video Phil!
Do you know if those cvd shafts would fit older buggies? Like the 144001 or 124016? Thanks

7:13 Pow! In the kisser!!! 😅😂🤣
(family guy reference)
although maybe should be change to Kicker for RC purposes? 😅
It bruised my nail 😅
I thought they went with a proprietary battery like T..raxxas, until I saw the deans connector fixed into a bracket, what a scare
Yeah, at least you can fit normal batteries
a 1/10 scale with a rigid body like this will be sweet. Those cvds must be compatible with the old 124017 for an upgrade.
Thanks for the review! I'm hesitating between the 124016 and the 124008. Which car would you recommend if they were available for the same price?
Same here, would love the answer! Maybe with 144010 in comparison too
This is probably better for durability. Although the I prefer the look of the 124016. And it’s got better electronics

Not bad especially for the price and they actually put a honest top speed on the box - tin finally 😂
Yes… decent price in todays market!
I think I’d be inclined to bend the servo posts on the esc, but that said I’d probably upgrade to dumborc receiver. Otherwise a great little rig

Adding good diff fluid to the F/R difs and shock oil is a must for all WLtoys before running.
But WLtoys diffs are not sealed, wouldn't they leak?

I may give one of those a try.
Hello, good video.. Thank you... For this model, which battery do you recommend to have more life and power without damaging the equipment? Thank you, pending your reply.
Looks like a winner. Is the gear mesh adjustable?
Looks like a rebranded rlaarlo? 😊
Underneath the chassis, the battery shape....
Could be, the 1/14 version of this WL Toys was basically a near carbon copy of the LC Racing EMB-1H series.
MJX… Rlaarlo have a different chassis

What’s the app for the phone for the rc car remote
The chassis design and color reminds me of mjx chassis. The cvds too
Yes 👍

Is the transmitter and receiver better than of MJX? If yes this would be a good alternative for hypergo 16207. MJX has crappy remote and receiver.

As previous brushless Wltoys?

124017 if you can. Thats a LC Racing clone, more metal and more upgrades available.
