CRAZY Hype Over This NEW Brushless RC Car! WLToys 124017

The Video is in my usual 4K 60.. KZbin is just taking hours to process it. So if you want to watch it on the big screen.... pop back later :) (on your phone will be fine) More info on the Buggy here: shop.makerfire.com/products/wltoys-124019-brushless-rc-car?aff=286

I think both this buggy and the eachine are both great entry level brushless rc's for someone who doesn't want to spend the money on a name brand. For $150 USD you can't beat either one of these, brushless, independent 2.4ghz radio/receiver and a three wire servo, lipo and charger and aluminum parts. Great buy 👍👍

[@dankforest]

Thanks thats what i wanted to know. I have been looking at these for exactly that. Im poor but want an entry level car i can upgrade later!

[@semperatis]

Certainly a much more stable platform than the e-chine Phil, I'd prefer this one.

[@moveyarcs2449]

Can I recommend the solid king pin holders rather than the stock. It's such a good cheap essential upgrade 🙂

[@GhostRyderFPV]

It's the Eachine EAT-14 for me: Not only is it _the cuter shorter sister,_ but it's an Eachine. I've got the EAT-04, (itself a rebranded Feiyue FY-03), and also a ton of quadcopter stuff with their name on it. They don't get it right 100% of the time, but they regularly put out quality hardware at great prices. Their big VTx's and Whoop Camera/VTx combos are epic value for money, and I'll tilt my decision based on the brand. (I know, it's likely made in the same place, but still).

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, sometimes it comes down to what brand you are more familiar with

[@GhostRyderFPV]

@@TomleyRC Thanks for putting up the comparison - it helped me pull the trigger on the Eachine this morning. If you have a recommendation for a proper battery, I'd love to hear it and get some on order! Cheers, and thank you!

[@RcOffroad9513]

I'm gonna have to pick one of these up soon! Wltoys was the first rc car I bought years after my only kinda hobby grade at the time (1994) Nikko Avenger 2wd monster truck. It had a 540 look and ran on 7.2 volt stick packs. Shoot it cost over $200 dollars 💵 from Walmart. The wltoys was way better it was a L959 buggy. It was quick and could jump, buy it broke the rear hub on a big jump and thats when it started... my chase to make it faster and more reliable... it is a solid 2wd 1/12 but the gear box has limits, being g made of all plastic parts and no beari gs on the reduction gear it fails at high power. Sorry for the long comment. 😅

[@peterpan726]

Hey! Could you please drop a link to the 1:14 competitor? Thx for the great video!

[@patmarcus172]

Really interesting to see this as our RC journey started with a 124019 but much tho we loved it, it didn’t stand up to repeated off road bashing, so rather than get this, our 1/12 fix is going to come from the LC Racing Embt you like so much. They’re only £160 at the moment which actually feels like a better deal than the £110 or so this “017” is running at.

[@TomleyRC]

The LC Racing is a very good choice 😎👌

[@andrzej812]

I was looking forward to this episode, I bought 124019 for my son (I think I'm more happy) and I am very positively surprised, this is my first such rc and it's great, suspension, steering, speed, we used to have a toy up to 15km / h but wltoys it some rocket😀

so what i noticed what have they done with the swing arms

[@gbraadnl]

7:20 signal not very good? Sounds like the old protocol which fits with the A929-124 receivers I mentioned. Use a lipo in the transmitter solves this for the most part. The old protocol is not very optimized as uses a nrf24 clone from Bekin. Curious to know what color the transmitter power led is. Tells if this is old (red) or new (white) protocol

[@POLITICALYCORRECTify]

I'm a 1/8th man I brought the tiny a959 n looked so fast. It was 40k but seemed just as fast as my 1/8 80kph. Scaled speed it is 👍👍. Getting a love for small cars now eym

[@TheScorpionRMA]

Great buggy, but like the brushed versions I prefer the Stadium Truck style. The looks and set up just does it more for me for a bashing budget toy. Hope to see a video on that soon as well!

I agree, they look nicer then the new ones. That and they are cheaper then the brushless version and not much of a power difference imo.

[@lifesasmith]

Are the shocks adjustable?

[@hakksaw]

I just received mine and had to grease the internal gear assemblies. There was grease on both diff pinions/rings inside the housings tho. All four shocks were full, but a little soft. Had wear on the driveshaft from rubbing on esc during testing. Nudged it over a couple mm. Body should be bigger, I agree. Front Alignment was way jacked, easy to adjust. Steering is extremely responsive and definitely plenty of power. Good, fast little buggy for the buck. Cheers!

There are two versions: from the a959 range and since 12428/124018 there has been a new protocol. The leds tell you what it is: red is old, white is new. There arent compatible. And for this, since they use the separate receiver (a929-124?) they might use the old site again. The radios look the same, but internally aren't. Would be great to hear from @tomleyrc what color the led is.
