Dude these 124017 buggy's are fast, got mine 2 days ago and didn't get to drive it, the esc let out the magic smoke, I'm glad I ordered a special esc with my order, mine does 49 mph at almost half throttle no joke, I was at a school parking lot did not have enough room to open up the full can of beans, the parking lot was not long enough and it was dark, I used my skyrc reader to check the speed
Seus videos são muito bons, mano, consigo tirar muitas dúvidas. Tenho alguns rc e meu 124017 e alguns combos de motor, esc e baterias (2 e 3s) estão chegando, estou ansioso para fazer várias modificações acompanhando seus vídeos...valeu, amigo, até mais💥💯🇧🇷
I’m running 3s on my stock wltoys k989 with stock electronics. I run a 180mah 3s or a 300mah 2s in loop with a 300mah 1s and haven’t had any problems. I have ran 2 stock 2s lipos seeing if it would pop but it didn’t and it wasn’t any faster then the 3s that little motor can only handle but so much. It’s a lot faster on 3s. I would say it’s about as fast as my 5500kv brushless motor on 2s. I also have a mini q 95000kv on 3s and that thing will fly for a 1/28 scale.
Good speed!!! If i put a ESC Hobbywing Ezrun Wp SC8 120A on the stock motor with 3S, will it make it more stable for 3S? And if i want it a little more speed, how many T, metal, spur gear do i need? Thanks in advance.
Good speed and can't wait for the upgrade video ❤ , but I want more time while playing this buggy , 2S battery is fast enough for me 😂 , does it work with 2S 5200mAh battery ?
@@Sam-nz2zs I doubt that the 3000 mAh will fit inside the body shell ... there is no issue about C -rating, only the battery size and voltage must be 7.4v or 2s lipo
I have the 124016 version. Wondering what to do with the electronics to reduce cogging. Probably going to fit an 80 amp esc first. What are you upgrading?
@@RcModwerks23 got any good priced motor and ESC to recommend? To run with 3s and get 90+ km/h and no clogging? Want to be able to use it a lot offroad as well.
Dude believe me no lie. get you a hyper go h16bm esc, that's what I put in mine, it does 49 mph at half throttle I checked my speed with my skyrc reader 49 mph half throttle, parking lot was not long enough to give it the full can of beans
Good speed for a cheap buggy, even though we know about the cogging issues. Probably a bit more speed with 144001 wheels fitted with there smoother tread tires.
It has big problems with clogging, but will mostly be a problem when running on other surfaces than asphalt. It can be solved by changing the motor and ESC.
@RcModwerks23 just got my 124009 on Friday and tore it down to add grease to the differentials. Had 3s 50c 2200s ordered. Going to go play around here in about an hour for the first time at our lil sports center. When you have time I have a question or 2 about durability and the front end.
Only the manufacturer can tell if it is safe to use 3s or not , but specs did not mention anything. I tried to run 3s at my own risk, just like other owners have done ... and did not smoke it so far. If you want to stay on the safe side, just run 2s but not 3s lipo. 👍
@@m.fikrianuar6457 Both ESC & Motor are still Stock version .... 60 Amp ESC & 3400 kv - 2845 Brushless motor . In the next videos it will have some upgrades 👍
Wich esc do u use i need a better one
Upgrade the ESC with Hobbywing 10BL120

bisakah hanya dengan upgrade esc di 124017 v2 untuk aman menjalankan 3s? dan apakah ada rekomendasi esc apa yg bisa saya gunakan?
Yes you can upgrade ESC only ... get a Hobbywing, they are cheap and reliable... See my other videos where I used Hobbywiong ESCs

Yes it will because that ESC is also good for 4s. If you have the 19t pinion, you ca nupgrade to the 27t pinion gear
@@RcModwerks23 Thanks!! How much km will it run on a single 4S, not dubble?
@@t.d.j.dejong6285 It will be faster, but not double the speed. Better change the pinion first
@@RcModwerks23 Thanks for the answer. So the 19th as motor pinion and 27T as a spur, right?
Nope, 27t pinion & 42t spur
Hello, over time, this 124017 with the 3S 25C lipo has worked correctly, has it not presented damage or overheating ? Thank you for your reply
This video was for Speed Test only on 3s ..,.. I prefer to run it with 2s regularly
@@RcModwerks23 Hello, with 2s of 2200 25c or which ones ?
@@eduardomalcom2228 I use the stock 2s lipo battery
What’s the link for the 3s battery for the 124017 ? No battery tray modifications are needed ??
The link was provided in the Description , no modification done
which battery do you have exactly? can you link it? thanks. I wanna make sure I buy one that fits
Link for the battery is in the Description. Thanks for watching! 👍
Good speed and can't wait for the upgrade video ❤ , but I want more time while playing this buggy , 2S battery is fast enough for me 😂 , does it work with 2S 5200mAh battery ?
Thanks for watching ... 5200 mAh 2s lipo does not fit coz it is too big , better get some extra 2200 mAh batteries
Please help. I put my 3s battery in that came with car and wont move. The red led livht is blinking on fan.
I think the newer ones are now having the ESC programmed for 2s lipo only that is why you cannot run it with 3s
Request wltoys 124007 with Lippo 3s
This rc car is already fast with 2s lipo, but you can upgrade the ESC if you want to always run them on 3s lipo
I’m new to rc hobby’s but what 3000mah battery would you say to buy? As they all have different (C) to them?
If you are using the stock ESC, then you dont need a very high C-Rating , you can get 30C which is similar to the stock 2s lipo battery
Thank you mate
Do you think a 35c 3000mah would be fine? 7.4v?
I heard you can use 60c with 2200mah 7.4?
@@Sam-nz2zs I doubt that the 3000 mAh will fit inside the body shell ... there is no issue about C -rating, only the battery size and voltage must be 7.4v or 2s lipo
When I put in 3s battery, my ESC light blinks, steering works, but wheels won’t turn. Do you know why?
Sorry cant tell, cause it never happened to me. Thanks for watching 👍
Well, I'm buying a 5200kv esc 60a to run my 124017, because I have 5 2s battery. If I had known, I would priority buying 3s
Hope your new upgrade work well
Great job brother 👏 👍
Thanks 👍
What model of 3s did you use? And have you noticed cogging?
Please check the link of the 3s Lipo in the Description ... cogging was reduced on 3s but not completely eliminated

Good speed for a cheap buggy, even though we know about the cogging issues. Probably a bit more speed with 144001 wheels fitted with there smoother tread tires.
Yes, maybe a few km/h faster . Thanks for watching! 👍
Did you only switch to 3S Lipo without switching any other components?
Yes, only changed the lipo battery ... everything else are stock
There is a delay in the throttle? Other reviewers say so.
There was a lag when using the stock 2s lipo, but it was reduced when using 3s lipo. Thanks for watching! 👍
It has big problems with clogging, but will mostly be a problem when running on other surfaces than asphalt. It can be solved by changing the motor and ESC.

Not sure of you can because the newer ones are now having the ESC programmed for 2s lipo only and you cannot run it with 3s
