This was a wonderful video for someone like me who wants to get into RC cars but with a smaller budget and no place to start! Thank you

[@TomleyRC]

You’re welcome mate

[@discman66]

Awesome video perspective!! Excellent slow-mo!! I watch other reviewers and you are one of my favorites. Keep up the work. Again, really cool to watch and you are kicking A** with those demo video clips. Thanks 👍

[@richiebricker]

Yeah, thisdude is more a cinematic film maker than a reviewer. Id like to see more behind the scenes stuff on how he captures it all

[@chowettgoes]

Really great to see these in a line up like this. The 144001 just looks like it’s a no brainer- what a package for the price.

[@ianmangham4570]

All I hear is greatness about that wltoys beast 💯 🤟🤠⚡

Nice top 10 video! How about top 10 crawlers under $100? Love this channel, more power! :)

[@AshishAmatya]

under 100 crawler has to be hbx 2098b, MN99s and RGT 136240 v2

[@UnderInternetNew]

Nah only bashers he did buggys and drifters

[@jeffg7044]

WPL makes some great crawlers with toyota inspired bodies

[@PeteWylieRC]

Useful list Phil. Amazing what you can get for not very much money. Haven't really got into the cheaper ones but I'm tempted!

[@TomleyRC]

Yes crazy isn’t it. Especially when you look at what Argos has to offer for £75!

Thanks dude. I agree... both awesome Trucks

[@rcmakingtracks18]

Some lovely camera work, with skillful editing. Great job. Well done that man. Oh and agree the 144001 is a awesome rc. Thanks for sharing. John

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks dude. Just putting another top 10 together... something a little different!

[@tooleyzrc1973]

I know I'm a little late to chime in on this but the HBX 16889 should have been your number 1. Throw some buggy tires on it and a 3s battery... this thing wakes right up. The servo is lightning fast and like you said..NOTHING BREAKS! If they would just translate this to 1/10th scale we would be giving the big boys a run for their money. Big win for anyone who buys this little beast! GREAT VIDEO, my man! You are indeed the Martin Scorsese of RC car videos.

[@matthiassamuel4397]

you should do a rc crawler version

[@jonoedwards4195]

Stick RC Crawler bodies on the 14001 and then You have a show Matt!

I have the brushed version the HBX 16889, takes an absolute beating. 70 pounds here, I got it for 50 on sale. Love it.

Very well sorted list! I can agree to a lot of them. I still don’t own a WL toys 14001, from what I’ve seen it’s amazing! Great job on this list. It must of been hard to narrow down 10! Mad props to ya Phil! And I know... cheers to me🍻 for watching!👊🏼👍🏻🤣😎

Yes took me a while. I had enough to do a top 20 lol

[@ACeperienceRC]

Good video friend 💪💪. Urna selection always to the last 👏👏👏👍

[@mnakash77]

great list, I did not know about the HBX 12815, looks like a crazy basher!

[@oipearman]

I managed to snag a never run DT02 for 50 on gumtree, and a never run XB DT03 for 45 on ebay. Always worth checking the "used" market for a hobby where so many people don't even run their cars.

[@philthyco1]

SCORE!!

[@modelnutty6503]

yup, found one eBay a while back, near roller for 40 bucks 10 bucks shipping, needed some gears and a couple tidbits but still a nice deal.

[@panzadeviborarc9613]

Great list; I can imagine how difficilt to choice everyone. Amazing video, very nice. Yeaaah!!

That's a good list! I haven't heard of a few of them.

[@speedsparks257]

I agree with you they are amazing for their price

[@jimmyhaase]

Prime Day has deals on HBX, picked up the 16889 for $70, the brushless is on sale too for $85 but I wanted to build mine myself, so I'll upgrade it little by little. Thanks for your content!!

[@luissimoes8106]

99% Agree 👌👌👌 Awesome work you do man👌👌👌👌👌 PS: that 144001 beating on the skate park was Epic. Probably it should be the ultimate resistance test for the reviews but probably you would be without cars 😆

[@Lee.gRC27]

Excellent information again , im in the market looking for a good strong cheap basher atm. I want them all !

[@wordreet]

That Feiyue FY03H brushless seems to have different tires to the brushed version. They're fatter for a start. But I love the long travel suspension style of the desert racer/buggy type machines.

[@ericbattley_og]

SG103 has got to be my favorite. You should do a under $200

[@user-qz6ix7od3b]

yeah i would like that also. and maybe go by category: basher/drift/etc ?

[@SURCs]

I love the fy03. Got the brushed one. Stable and easy to work on. Upgrades are extremely cheap. Just wanted to start the hobby with that car, but at the moment I sticking with it, because it is so cool. I ‚ll go on and put some more upgrades in to it. Do you know a bigger brushed motor that will easily fit??

[@Marino_RC]

Always interested looking at your channel Tom... thx for the info... #respect

I have half of these. Good video.

[@edsoutlet5257]

I was looking for a hobby and I just think I found one . Thanks

You may want to check out rc fpv drones too.. that is also a great hobby.

[@Viberfell]

Bit new to this hobby, I have an FTX Ravine. Love it. But I couldn’t help but notice the MCM poster in the background. Fellow fan. 🤘

[@sparkyclark8267]

Very useful, thank you

[@dennisnothstein1311]

Once again an awesome video,I love the budget rc cars. I would like to get another traxxas or my first arrma but for the price of one of those I could get 2 or 3 of the ones on your list and have just as much fun plus if a friend wants to drive one I won't freak out when he crashes into a curb,which he did and broke a front a arm,but the replacement was $7. Looks like I have to add another car or two to my "must have" list. Thank you again for entertaining and informing. Stay safe

[@modelnutty6503]

its always nice to have a couple good cheap bashers along for a newbie to play with, same for a good cheap crawler that you don't have to worry about other than telling them "if the wheels are STUCK don't push it". Redcat/Danchee "Trail Hunter" is good, their "Ravine" even better.

[@lprc7196]

Nice work mate 👍👍😎

[@shred__dad]

[@PJzLTM]

Hi, nice video. I have a Maverick Quantum XT Flux myself, but I choose just under 99 for my son. HBX 16889 came out to me the best so far. You could compare the pros and cons among other monsters in your TOP10. Thanks from the Czech Republic

144001 is a nice fast little rc car BUT the differentials have gears from butter..with my personal driving style stripped them twice (were greased) having less than 5 batteries and sold it.. next station will be the 16889a pro (the upgraded). Nice video for sure!

[@dez1969]

I can see where my money has gone after watching this! Great list Phil... would have put the Q901 higher though 🤣😉!

[@russkiebetta]

@@TomleyRC man thanks for such a great video as always! May i ask a technical question, regarding the remo hoby smax and hbx 16889 has the same ground clearance? I feel the remo hobby is much lower than the other competitors, or i am wrong?

Recent owner of the 16889 and love it! Already looking to step up to something under £200, there not many vids on the £100-200 bracket

[@TomleyRC]

Maybe a under 200 list is needed

[@kodak_jack]

A warning, the FY-03H comes both brushed and brushless with the same H designation. Be careful which one you order. The price, obviously, is the tell. Go right for the brushless one and be done with it.

[@SashvonR]

Great video dude, the only issue is that Wltoys don't seem to ship to the UK. How to you get around this?

[@evanwillard2811]

I have the wltoys k989 I’m loving the little beast so much fun in a small package

[@alexanderrobbie2554]

number 10 is also sold as the ftx tracer (monster truck version) but its brushed although you can upgrade it to brushless with the motor listed in the parts list

[@danne77sthlm]

I still cant get over those 2 as your nr 2, I am still wanting to buy 2 each of those, and have a race with my best buddy and his kids, they look so cool and they are affordable And, the nr 1 is a well deserved winner as nr 1, really, you beat the snot out of it, bent it back together and kept on going :D

[@TomleyRC]

The 144 is very good!

[@wendyon4517]

The Smax comes in brushless as well (Remo 1635). Which do you recommend?

[@RCManiacs]

Really nice video, great editing! I really like how cheap it is to get in to the hobby these days. Def agree that 144001 is the best option, personally I prefer the HBX 16889 over the S-Max. Better handling and overall feel to it IMO

Thanks amte. Yeah...so cheap to get started!

I kind of want to get the 14001 but its hard when the LC racing truggy exists.. i feel like i should just dosh out on two of them instead (one for me and one for the miss). do you think the cost is justifiable? i do love me some quality stuff
