WLTOYS Buggies Compared! Which is BEST for you?

[@beyondRC]

So which is your favorite? You really cant go wrong with any of these buggies but there are definitely some things to consider before buying! The build quality on the new 104001 is much better compared to the others but its slower.. Decisions to be made 😅😎👍

[@Storyracing387]

Being new to the hobby, I think it's pretty cool a company is taking a chance putting out a few "less expensive" models out there. I for one am into racing and 1/10 scale is for me. However, seeing a handful reviews of the 104001 ( they really should come up with names lol) I've seen the weaknesses of the 1/10 and would have to upgrade a few things to make it better. I'm new to your channel and what I've seen is really good so far, keep up the good work and 🍻 cheers from USA 👍

[@sushenpeiris4986]

My favourite is the Wltoys 124019 I think I am correct

[@mgscheue]

My 124019 came today and I just did a run with it. Really fun, especially for the price. I’m impressed.

[@tomasrussell6594]

I realize it's kinda off topic but do anyone know of a good site to watch new series online?

[@raybronson5539]

@Tomas Russell meh I would suggest flixportal. Just search on google for it =) -ray

[@NeoIsrafil]

Wltoys names are easy, 124019, 12th scale, 4wd, model 019, 104001, 10th scale, 4wd, model 001. Getting it? Theyre very descriptive. (And no, I dont work for them, ive just figured out their naming after looking at a bunch of their models.)

[@helmydewa]

Between 1:14 and 1:12 which one do you feel easier to handle (handling really good)...?

[@wilsrecreations450]

.My friend, the 144001 is a fiddly little thing but once you make those wheels align all hell brakes loose. Brushed 540 can in 2S lipo is more than enough to keep up with huge and more powerful Traxxas. Mine, sort of "out of the box", and with this I mean that I did have to fill the diffs and align the wheels, on stock 2s went over 33mph... Love my little WLToys...

[@KS-wt9gj]

Agree totally. I’ve run mine on a 100’ skidpad on 2S and was 90-100% throttle. Very controllable super mild drift. I have others that are 4 times the cost that don’t do that.

[@rickrogers2649]

Great video. I'm super impressed that you could keep all those numbers straight. Well done. I don't have any of them but I think the 144001 would be my choice. Small car with a big motor at a budget price. Cheers.

I have a 124017 V2 coming. I've had 1/8, 1/10, and 1/16th cars of various types. I think a 1/12 brushless should be the sweet spot. I plan on putting alloy steering knuckles on it and leaving it be.

[@bigbeardrc4145]

Love it mate very informative and to the point a good honest review

[@beyondRC]

Cheers mate! Can't wait to see what you do with the 104001 😁😁

[@The_RC_Dude]

I have a 144001 myself, and I really like it. I think that the 144001 is very durable, partly because of its low weight, especially when compared to the 104001. The lower the weight of your car, the less inertia it will carry, thus is a crash, less broken parts because there is less force in the crash (brief middle school physics explanation ends). I haven't broken any parts in more than a year of owning my 144001 besides the stripping the stock servo (I replaced the servo with a 3 wore drop in servo, I also changed the ESC to a brushed Hobbywing ESC, and upgraded the radio/receiver to a DumboRC set).

[@beyondRC]

The 144001 is one of my all time favorites it just offers so much for the price! Nice to see you stayed brushed most people go brushless. Have always found even with a brushed setup they are great!

[@louisabelhard9596]

Whatll i be doing with the 104001? Easy. Track, possibly racing. Shes gonna get a new servo, brushless motor, esc, and a dumborc gyro included radio system as soon as she arrives (whenever they get around to shipping her T.T I want so bad...) also, as was pointed out on another channel, this buggy NEEDS a slipper clutch, so I will be rigging one to fit because otherwise she will destroy the pinion gear off jumps. Sadly the pinion is crappy metal, and the driveline shock from landing is too much for it.

I will explain the names well numbers the first number is the scale the 4 is for four wheel drive and the rest are the model number like 001 is the first model.
