- Here's the New WLToys 12402-A, now this could be another 'Best RC Car of 2019' contender! It’s another RC car under $100! In fact it’s under $90!
Buy it here: www.banggood.c...
Apart from the lack of Oil Shocks, this thing is really good fun! I'd say a good RC car for kids. Not the best kids RC car, but certainly one of the best cheap RCs for kids.
WLtoys keep giving us some cool RC cars, lets hope we get more new RCs for 2020!

Nice looking little car. Thanks for the rev. 👀🦻🏻👍🏻
No probs dude
I'm pretty impressed. Nice save towards the end when you had it up on 2 wheels. I laughed how the body clips broke first before the shock towers
yup, that was a bummer.
Yeah, looked more dramatic in slow motion :)
Been waiting for your review... Voice of reason! Looking forward to seeing the brushless upgrade performance
Cheers Mike 😎👌
I love the 2 wheel driving.
lol yup, they need SOME kind of damping, and we've seen friction damping that works too.
the A959-979 tiny stock shocks work excellent filled with light grease (I used WPL's stuff), beginning of a video you can see I plopped it down 3-4 times no bouncing. they're still unstable for being so small anyway, but the grease filled shocks helped a bunch.
Teach me about this grease inside wall toys oil shocks I want to learn I believe you
Is WPL, the name of the manufacturer of that shock oil? What other shock oil brands would you recommend?
@@bangurhead4027 if you do not find RC shock oil you can also use 2050 oil for a car or you can even use 5 weight oil from your car you don't need RC oil for the shocks
first tried 40w oil, just not thick enough for the tiny shocks. the light grease left over from building a WPL kit is what I packed the shocks with, and it works. its medium light as greases go, not like automotive high temperature wheel bearing grease... is heavy thick stuff
@@modelnutty6503 good to know thanks for the information
It looks pretty good but friction shocks! Hopefully its durable at least
Looks pretty tough...time will tell!
I like the rims ! Very lit😂
What an awesome little bug, dude! Really nice! 😃
I'm really impressed with its torque! Fantastic! 😮
for sure rather have snappy acceleration than top speed, it gets it around a smaller track much quicker
@@modelnutty6503 That's true!
Yes, gearing is pretty much spot on
Ha ha a mini Kyosho Foxx! LOL!!!
Shen RC, hey man search the Wltoys a979-3 and you will find their 1/18th “clone” of the Kyosho fox complete with paddle tires. My son and I have one and it’s pretty cool.
put a piece if memory foam inside each shock cartiage to control bounce. oil free cheap.
Hi Jon Gone Gone. Can you share any photos of the foam inserts? Simon
hi gone, would like to see this also
now that looks quite a good truck, great video as always bud 😀👍
Cheers dude
I think this is a good looking vehicle. I was chuffed to see the 550 motor but frustrated to see pogo shocks (copyright Rob Brennan RC) still being fitted to trucks like this.
If the drivetrain can take brushless, this would still be worth buying even by an adult - and if I´d owned this as a child I´d have been the happiest kid on my street...
I love that Pogo sticks I think I'm going to steal that
@@MightyistheRCGamer Ha ha! It deserves wider use - it´s the perfect description for Tamiya´s "friction damped" shocks... : )
Yes, I'd have loved this as a kid!
Sweet!! Looking forward to.... NC❤ back yard RC.AND MORE. 🏞🖒🖒💯✔
Hello. Which is your favorite price & performance RC car
Looks good Phil, seen these about on the BG website thanks for sharing mate
No worries mate
The WLToys 104009 is what has sparked my interest in this RC car. I think this will be my next RC!! It's either this, or a Hosim 9156.
At least you didn't break the pin holder 3 minutes into the first run which I did, great vid btw 😂
Oops! Lol
Looks like water can’t get inside near the esc,enjoyed 👍🏻
Pretty nice one Gov, that bloke from OMG RC, has one of these and he put, I think it was a brushless motor and a 3S Lipo and bashed this thing around in a vid he posted couple weeks ago. Holy crappoly, that thing was BASHING!!👍💯, if you do the shocks up I bet you this'll be another carnage stepson for ya Gov! Love that ramp you got, is it one of them expensive all metal diamond plate ones? Just wondering, keep ROCKIN' it mate!!...🤪💥
Cheers dude... the ramp is just a normal plastic one. Got it very cheap off a neighbour 😎👌
I think it's customisable. You can put oil in the stock shocks or install new oil filled shocks and brushless motor to convert it to a hobby grade.
Yes, I have the parts on order already
You can put oil in the stock shocks?
@@Woolsupgamers5 No. I have been trying putting oil in those stock shocks, but it's made of plastic and oil just leaks out instantly after filling up. So I purchased & installed metal shocks separately which is oil filled already.
Very cool my friend I would definitely Extra Cool with some upgrades😎🇬🇧👍😊👊
Cheers dude
Hi there can the battery be upgraded for longer run times, cheers mate.
The issue with this is the size of the battery box. It would be worth measuring it and getting the biggest battery you can
In my opinion the little 112 scale rampage 4 wheel drive truck is the best kids RC car for the price. It is a Bang good special as well. The little rampage truck is nearly indestructable
Who makes that truck?
The HBX stuff is good yes. I have a 1/16 Brushless one on the way
I'm going get this car after crimbo thanks Phil. 😁
Looks like it has loads of potential mate.
Yes, pretty good...more to come
nice review and i like it
Cheers dude
Hi, Thanks for your video ! Can you have change for 3000mah battery ? This is safe ? If yes can you have Banggood link please ?
Great video .. thanks.. what type of battery can I buy for this car? 15C?
Great video! - where did you get the black ramp from and how much was it?
Thanks Simon, it was being sold locally second hand
Great video 👍👍
Look cute and nice!
nice vid.. I have this truck on order , should be with me by 2nd dec ish .. what oil shocks would you recommend to fit this truck ? . Also i dont think it needs extra speed as i think it will ruin the speed to scale look if you know what i mean.. needs to look realistic for me.. so ill not be going to brushless but will be using lipo packs that i already have from a boat..
I'm waiting on 2 different sets of shocks. Once I find the right ones I'll share. You are right about the speed.... but I like the higher efficiency and run times of brushless.
doesnt looks too bad but imo that shell is ghastly haha great review though pal :)
I like the body :)
Haha each to their own 😀😀👍👍 on a other note though them gold rims look beautiful
Great video as always. I am going to order one. Can you tell me the dimenions "length" in mm of the stock shocks over all and from hole to hole so I can order oil filled shocks at the same time. I know you put big bore shocks on it in your other video, I think I will use standard ones...what do you think? I just need the size so I can order them at the same time as the truck. Thanks!
Decent truck " it heavy ?
Nice bro " Friction dampers 😅
Looks good
I really like mine
It is not bad, but bearings in the differentials are not sitted very well. I disassembeled them and improved with an isolation band. Much better now ;)
please do give us some details...what have you improved exactly ?
@@Ris-v4w each shaft which transfers torque to a wheel has a bearing inside of the differential. This bearing does not sit tight in the differential's case. This is bad as this allows sand to get inside of it. I disassembled each differential and added small pieces of the isolation band around bearings so they all are now sat well.
Fast rock crawler
Yes lol
Very nice! Cool car and it has beautiful colors! I'm inclined to buy this one but I want to upgrade it with oil shocks and brushless system. I Don't know exactly what motor, esc and servo I can Buy and I don't find anyone doing the upgrade just recommending.
I'll be upgrading very soon. And will show parts that I use
is the 144001 worth buying? i am considering it
Richard Pfeifer, yes buy it now
Richard Pfeifer buy it at bangood and use a coupon code you can get one for 66 euros if you have the right code
Yes, buy it! Best value/toughest small RC at the moment
I may get one for me
What is that tan beauty back there!!
HG P602
What are friction dampers? I honestly have never heard of this term used in RC
It means they have no oil in them.... so lots of bounce
Okay thanks
Friction dampers bummer!
Yeah... hopefully oil ones will sort it out!
hi mate, do you know if you can install the car engine speakers onto this rc?
Dear @Tomleys Garage. What would be you best suggestions to match the following needs: two different cars (a least in colors) which can set at different sanity ma speed which can be driven by me and my little son (almost 5yo). The need to be crashproof water proof or splash proof with lights and strong metal transmission. I would like to stay in a whole buget of about 100€ and the more lights they have, the better is.
I'm oriented btw 12428 (but how recognize updated version?) with or withou metal transmission?
Then the 124889/12491 or clones Q39 FY03.
not totally satisfied and woul like to a more Dakarian style what or monster truck style too. My son enjoy mud and high jumps so much
I would say the WLtoys 144001 is best for the money. No lights, but fast and very tough!
I have 2 12428s and 2 12423s I beat on them all the time and shoved brushless into them. Is it even worth it for me to get this like build wise will it take a beating like the 12428? N is it worth it after the brushless swap bc I have a whole setup just begging to go in something lol
J'ai ce modèle là et ben franchement il est rapide. J'ai juste changé les amortisseurs par des amortisseurs ZD Racing pour voiture 1/10 et la stabilité du véhicule est bien meilleure
Which one do you think is better, the 144001 buggy or this?
144001 out the box is the best there is for the money at the moment
If I didn't know any better I would say you're running you on lithium ion battery because I do not hear the motor screaming like the way it would if there was a lipo battery in there but I could be wrong
Yeah comes with a 1500mah Li-ion
hi, thinking of getting into the hobby. but don't want to spend too much for my first rc.. I can't decide between the wltoys 12402a and the wltoys a959b. which in your opinion is better of the two? thanks :)
I like this one more. But also look at the 144001, that is very good
@@TomleyRC thanks for your reply sir. Appreciate your input. Great videos, keep up the grear work!
Are the gold wheels chrome or plastic, also the suspension seems good canu explain why friction ones are bad, (from this u can tell im new ish to this hobby)
Plastic. Friction is more bouncy as there is no oil in them to absorb the shock.
Thank you very much! Have a greta day!
Sorry for the late reply didn't get notified I'm just rewatching
It seems that my standards are not high enough, as this seems fine for me as it is (shocks included) :-D
do a little racing you'll get it really quick, all the moments tires aren't in contact is less control and speed you have.
It's actually pretty good out the box. But I like my stuff to absorb the bumps a little better.
Did you have to pay any customs charges into the U.K. Never bought from Banggood.
Never had to pay any customs on Banggood stuff. I get all mine delivered EU Priority (Not sure whats gonna happen after Brexit though)
Where could you find a spare driveshaft if anyone's knows please comment
Do they sell spare parts? (I ordered it and the shocks you recommended in the link)
Edit: link of the upgrade vid! Lol I'm on the wrong upload!
Looks like Aliexpress has parts... www.aliexpress.com/item/32851899575.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.3e6c358cbOaqzB&algo_pvid=38dad04d-3020-486c-8a9d-fd83360f4642&algo_expid=38dad04d-3020-486c-8a9d-fd83360f4642-43&btsid=e9784789-9c16-49b5-b048-4ec9225c6a92&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_7,searchweb201603_55
I had just said the hard landing will break something and a few moments later you tell and show us that it did. I can't believe they would sell such a poor shock set-up. If I get it I hope they have parts for that model otherwise I won't know what to get.
Don't Worry Most of the drive train is based on the wl 12428.drive shaft,diff's .and the brushed model wl 12402
WLtoys are usually pretty good with parts supplies. i've fixed this with a little bit of glue
How fast is it? I can't find a speed test on this thing anywhere.
Jason Giles 2:22
It's quick
Hi, I love the look of the truck, a channel called " the RC saylors" killed one by running it through a puddle!!!!. Steve M/ CR
Yes, I talk to Nate now and again via email. Good channel.... lots of nice stuff they review
you should do a giveaway
I've just done 2 ;)
At least this time they put a realistic 40 kph normally they put like 90 miles an hour with nitro included
Chinese kilometer is shorter and they count downhill with a tailwind too,
full speed launch off a 50 foot drop, COUNTS!!
Yeah lol.... it was not far off this time!
@@modelnutty6503 I think you also forgot tgst the testers can't read either so it mostly just delusional answers
What do u expect for 100$?. They dont last long. You also have to pray on getting parts
There are lots of RC's under $100 that have oil shocks ;)
i sell in about 50usd .
the title says best kids rc.. is this for kids? toy grade rc?
Kids can have hobby grade RC's like this now that there is so much choice. Although, I've seen kids with Traxxas and Arrma RC's, so I guess it depends how good they are with RC's
@@TomleyRC thanks, thinking of getting one of this for my first rc to get me started with the hobby. don't want to spend too much in case I woh't be able to persue it. :)
90$ , 1yrs later 120$ Sad
