[@andrewbojanich8003]

Not happy about mine/kids melted and caught fire on the eighth drive hopefully well get a replacement not holding my breath

[@KAarnagemAmolgada]

love the video ...but going to have to desagree with you on the fact that these cars need lights!!! i like night runs and some of the spots i go to do not have suficient lights ands its a crap to lign up the car from a distance ...so just the fact the new 144011 has lights makes me want to buy it !

[@FeralRC]

I dig the lights. I'm a night shifter and sometimes spend my breaks bashing a RC in the dark. I've always had to add lights to them before. Equipped lights are a big perk for me.

[@Coyote.five.0]

the rear swing arms now have a screw that goes all the way to the end thus helping alleviate the problems with the rubber insert getting loose , they fixed that problem already, just make sure when you get it out of the box to flip them over because the inserts are installed backwards you will see your arms if you look from the bottom they are bent forward so remove the inserts flip them over and you will have a perfectly squared rear swing arm.

[@BrayyRC]

Love your reviews. Thanks to you and a couple others I have the MJX h14bm ordered and should be in my hands Friday. And I can not wait.

[@beyondRC]

MJX are a great cheap rc brand!

[@scaleworksRC]

I like the lights. It's fine as long as they aren't over done with police strobes or turn signals. Maybe as an upgrade option.

[@nokialover31]

We needed the lights.

[@electricnitrorc]

The 2 in 1 ESC made the bang for buck taking a huge dive. And some wltoys are a pain to work with thanks to red loctite/glue. Maybe that's not the case with later releases? I prefer the old looks. The new one looks to toyish for my taste.

[@rubenowitzv.3135]

Lights✨👍🏻

[@brianoliveira698]

I like it. Video and car. Lights, bulked up axles in and out

[@catcancrunch7260]

Totally agree with you, I gotta laugh mate, thanks for your upload 👍🙏🐱

[@luccrouset1675]

I just got the 144010 new for 95 euros. So yes, thius one is a no go. They opened the drawers of their unsold stock and came up with this.

[@beyondRC]

Think i have to agree. The leds are an attempt to spice things up.. to make it interesting. but no..

[@pureheroin9902]

WLToys seem to make silly decisions. The front end looks great on this car, beefier than my 144010. Then they add a brushed motor, dog ugly controller and LEDs lol I wish they would do a deal with Dumborc on controllers tbh I'm sure Dumborc would sell them 100 thousand controllers for £10 a piece.

[@christianrambissoon1141]

I like front and rear lights, good for night runs. Could do without the windscreen ones. Amazon has the 1/12 brushed for cheaper than this, new.

[@sofloflow]

The Arrma Gorgon is the nail in the coffin for these

[@beyondRC]

I think so.. but not for the people who have no arrma availability in their country.

[@Nicholas-im8bd]

How is a monster truck that in no way has thr same use as a buggy.. Going to take out the buggy? Seems like a odd parallel to draw

[@user-ls7fn6zb6d]

I'm still running the brushed system from the 124019 in the rllaro 14th scale because the rllaro caught on fire

[@johnwayne666]

I afraid this is not going to do so well.....as far as sales.

[@413RC]

WLToys is washed up. They just keep rebranding old designs with zero beneficial updates

[@trpugh9748]

In America where we race at times it's at night so those lights being on there would be a cool thing for night racing otherwise they're kind of cool

[@ksrnate]

The 144001 was 50 quid when it came out. I've actually still got the 1st one I bought and speed ran it to 112mph! So the only thing I'm interested in is the thicker drive shafts. The car... They're just getting rid of old stock. I doubt they'll sell many

[@beyondRC]

agreed

[@user-ls7fn6zb6d]

I love lights for night driving

[@qrisemrc]

It's small but performs well.👍👍👍

[@dava00007]

This seems to fix pretty much all the real problems I had with the OG (as a non-hardcore RC amateur). The more solid dog bones and lights are really great, I kept bending the shafts with last time around and with the lights I can easily see if its facing me when it gets darker.

[@RCZinc]

Unboxing and Sppedtest french on RC Zinc 🔥

[@wolfiecrawlsrc58]

Leds are catering for the 8-12 age bracket, IMHO. When I want leds on an RC I prefer to make my own. But obviously not everyone is that fortunate. I like the sticking a 550 can because it is easy to upgrade to a max 10 combo. But if honest you probably wouldn't. Currently I think mjx hyper go range is a better buy and similar price range. There's always a place for a cheap quality rc car with part support but I think you're correct that this price is not enticing for a brushed motor, throw away esc/rx combo and servo. Definitely time wltoys started to do something new and not just a rehash of a rehash.

[@s.o.sSavage]

It looks like it drives ok but I would not spend that money on this one I don’t think. Thanks for the video!👍

[@todd5060]

Great video per usual.. I have several of their cars but it’s a hard pass on this one. Thanks

[@FZERO20]

I'm definitely upgrading my current older 124016 to those CVD'S and Differentials! I have my car built and its excellent on the street, but the skinny CVD's suck!!

[@spazza71]

Looks like the 14011 has swing arm screws (bolts?). The original swing arm pins on the 144001 were a massive failue point (especially the rear).

[@rctaz990]

I'm a fan of the lights

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

I do like it with the lights in, but like you I feel it’s just a bit pricey. Maybe $90 would be more justifiable! With daylight getting shorter here, those lights come in handy. Glad to see they’ve beefed up those cvd’s . I think that wing should be a shatter proof plastic instead of those polycarbonate ones. 32mph is impressive with a brushed set up! They probably achieved their speed Claims with a 3s lipo. Still looks great, but ready for a different look! Cheers 🍻 Ricky, have an awesome week!

[@beyondRC]

I agree. Yeah maybe it was 3s then they need to state that on the site. For example *Speed achieved with 3s battery. Most buyers (especially beginner buyers) will think it does the claimed speed on the site with included battery as they probably wont know the difference between 2s/3s as a 100% complete beginner. Its been going on for years. cheers

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

@@beyondRC Yes your absolutely right Ricky! The guilty companies that do this should disclose how they’ve achieved that speed. For example: Advertised top speed were attained by using a higher voltage lipo pack. **This is not recommended in actual product due to burn and fire Hazzard risk. Or ** 3s lipo/li-ion batteries can be used to achieve our advertised top speeds. Approved 3s lipo/li-ion batteries can be purchased here:(company link) I’ve been telling them since I’ve started to either do this or make it so the esc’s are compatible so 3s can can sustained more than a couple of runs. Rlaarlo, was the first to actually reply and make a change. Consumers like you and myself would rather have honesty than falsely inflated speeds or speeds that may have been achieved but with hazards or fire risks which should be noted. There are some companies now this , but still many falsely advertise.

[@laggibricks]

I would guess that this buggy is aimed at people who will put in their own electronics and customize it, meaning that a brushless system would be a little bit wasted.

[@d.r.4453]

Competition is tough right now for entry level RC's. Each to their own, but I wouldn't drop the money they are asking for this (...and the lights aren't a seller for me personally). Great review!

[@beyondRC]

Personally i think it should have been £70 / $85

[@joeyjojojunior4886]

WlToys just keeps releasing the same thing over and over again. They really need to come up with something other than a buggy. HyperGo has become my favorite RC.

[@beyondRC]

exactly. nothing innovative or new. Thats where mjx and rlaarlo come to the rescue!

[@ohhi5237]

i think people love wltoys BECAUSE they make buggy's, u can find trucks everywhere

[@andrew4403]

It's nice to have lights on all RC cars that way when you drive it at night you know which way you're going Plus you can drive it at night. We don't need all the flashing red and blue cop lights and stuff like that but nice headlights and LED bar light is good Just don't go overboard.😮😮😮

[@BuzzinRCz]

Im doing a conversation soon on mine to brushless ive got the 12th scale 124019 and adding metal parts too. I like these buggys cool video ❤

[@Sharki33]

I like light

[@ThompsonRc]

I agree with you on this one

[@beyondRC]

I appreciate that :)

[@icabodpsillycyberman414]

Need the lights? Nope, but thats the same as NEED another wltoys-nope, but its still nice to have if its something you like🤔🤷‍♂

[@JohnDoe-ss8ec]

I get your point but for me the more lights the better 😅

[@Xbot4Life]

They use those new Radios because the older better looking ones were causing the throttle delay

[@shadyhazza]

the lights don't look like they have parabolic reflectors, do they actually work? the new part numbers start with 27xx, you need to fit the newer 27xx diff cups to fit the new 27xx CVDs and dogbones (and 27xx rear wheel axle cup if you're not going to run CVD), the pin and ball at the end of the dogbone is larger so doesn't fit the old cups. last few wltoys diffs i've looked inside of had a smidge of white lithium grease, ya basically can't tell they're greased even when they are I'd like to see them do more with that new 1/12 tub - monster trucks etc. They're good at the small cars, The larger cars need better bracing etc which wltoys lacks, their 1/10 folds up the front, and even team associated didn't get it right with the MT8. They have a fresh new 1/12 platform, they should use it. Another thing that wltoys got right with the 124008 was the gearing, they changed to a 15T pinion. If you see QuadifyRC's "The Ultimate guide to wltoys pinions", he complains about their long gearing to get max speeds, they changed from 23T to 19T to in the 144010 which improved the gear ratio, but you could bore out a 17T from an A959 for a lower gear ratio, and then his "Unicorn" gear ratio was 15T, much better for racing, but a unicorn in mod 0.7. Well wltoys chose 15T for the 124008, and changed to mod 0.6, a much more available tooth pitch (although the fixed motor mount only permits 15T or 20T reversed) - It would be interesting to see if the new 1/14 adopted the new mod 0.6 gearing (you can check if the part numbers start with 27xx)

[@FZERO20]

those bigger cvds are definitely the only good thing i see out of this updated version tbh

[@RACEABLE]

The older one was waaaaay more snazzy! I think wltoys will vanise if they do not offer something innovative..

[@kylekallies3381]

Lights just cost more if you ask me I would rather have no lights and a cheaper car then have lights I think they need to start putting the bigger diff cups and dog bones in all of there models

[@overfly_pt]

My first car rc 144001 😊

[@s.h.5726]

Got a amoril 1/14 and two rlaarlo am-x12 that I like a lot more than my 124019 and 124017 v1. Pros of the rlaarlo and Amoril... So many more spares parts in the box. Less wobble in the wheels. Better wheel nut setup (no pins to lose). They look alot better as well. My negatives about the amoril 1/14 is the arms don't have holes for the roll bar kit. The brushed motor needs some thermal paste between the chassis. The esc gets super hot.

[@RedLionRC]

Hi ✋🏼🤠 I own 2 wltoys buggys an they came both with dry diffs. How about the new one? Nice video 👍🏼

[@d.r.4453]

Good question! I to have found the Wltoys diffs pretty dry. My 124019 had no greese at all! I wouldn't risk running one without checking them myself. Have they improved?

[@beyondRC]

@@d.r.4453 i haven't opened them up yet but the diffs actually felt okay. Would suggest checking to anyone who does buy any wltoys!

[@cristian1552]

They cost me almost the same, which is better, 144001 or 144011?

[@andrew4403]

If they say it does 40 miles per hour It better do freaking 40 mph.

[@GrimReaper9980]

So I’ve never really understood, is a brushed or brushless motor better for a RC car?

[@FZERO20]

Its a personal preference... I like "sensored brushless". Offers way more power and tuneability. Also less maintenance. Brushed is slower good with throttle control but less efficient, gets hot, and slow. also way less tuneability

[@ohhi5237]

brushed is old brushed is new modern efficient tech its also more expensive

[@deanopud69]

Hopefully it lives up to the legend

[@beyondRC]

hmmmmmmmmm.... 😆

[@deanopud69]

@@beyondRC I almost feel sorry for Wltoys now. They really have fallen off so badly. They have spent the last year raiding their parts bin to jumble stuff together. A shame really

[@beyondRC]

@@deanopud69 exactly that. its lazy. Do they really think people are that silly? They need to up their game fast before they go out of business. MJX, HBX and Rlaarlo are the new kings.

[@deanopud69]

@@beyondRC there’s so much competition in that price range now. Especially given that Arrma have now dropped the Arrma gorgon 1/10and Arrma granite grom 1/18 both budget minded RC cars. That budget space is now getting very crowded and Wltoys are falling further behind

Why not just sell a roller where there's no motor or electronics?? This would be great for those that likes to soupe up their RC. I think there's a market for that

[@ninthislandrc]

144001 to 144011 seems to be "2 steps forward, 1.5 steps back". Hate to have to say it, but I'm in agreement with luccrouset1675...I think WLToys went through their "unsold parts bins", and pieced this together. Sorry, WLToys...but, to me, this a a MAJOR "FAIL".
