I like that the wing has a backing for the screws. Less worry of ripping wing off on flips.

[@theminiatureconstructionco4556]

This is true.

[@MrJaxco]

Looks like the 16207 wheelie bar (part 16120s) will also fit this 1:12 scale MJX/WLToys buggy.

[@theminiatureconstructionco4556]

There does look like a decent amount of commonality.

[@grrfy]

Those driveshafts are chunky Bois!

[@theminiatureconstructionco4556]

Mahoosive! Compared to the 144001's! 😮

[@scaleworksRC]

Looks like they are trying to step their game up 👍 Nice showcase and breakdown as usual!

[@theminiatureconstructionco4556]

Ta very much! Yes certainly taking the buggy's in a new direction! 👍

[@MrJaxco]

Now for the MJX elephant in the room... Will the taller battery hold down bolt onto the 16207 buggy too??? Might be a cheaper upgrade for that buggy than the angry snail combo upgrade battery+modified hold down. 🤔

[@theminiatureconstructionco4556]

Sounds like a plan!

[@MrJaxco]

@@theminiatureconstructionco4556 on the 16207 buggy, the rotating lock portion of the battery hold down assembly seems to be screwed into the center brace. Perhaps someone more talented than me could make an adapter to raise it up a half an inch or so with a 3D printer or something. 🤔 Then someone with the smaller buggy could fit some seriously bigger batteries in there 👀

Hello, I loved this model, for its electronics, its cleaning of the wiring and the reinforcement of some of its parts and especially the playtime that with a 2,200 is 20 min approx. or more-. I have one and I'm waiting for another one, but it has some defects, the front shocks rub against the dogbones, the Servo is of low quality and does not respond as it should over time and in the rear the dogbones are a little short, They do not fit as they should to the cups in my case they have come out and have devastated the cups and even that's why they have broken the shock tower when they came out. I love the model and I think it's the best in WL, you just have to take care of these aspects.

[@theminiatureconstructionco4556]

Very good advice. 👍

[@MrJaxco]

@@eduardomalcom2228 of course now I can't find what I was reading earlier this morning about this very issue... Someone in one of the wltoys groups mentioned using LCR shock o rings to get rid of driveline slop on both the differential end of the diff cups and on the wheel end cups. Supposed to get rid of the dog bone and CV rods ability to wander in the cups.

[@ohhi5237]

if you order the bigger 2000? battery version, does it still come with the extra stock battery?

[@theminiatureconstructionco4556]

@ohhi5237 that's a good question. Normally, there's an option for multiples of the same type. 👍
