The Epic 'Cheap' 50MPH Sand Basher Everyone Needs!

This is why i love Phil channels, he lets you know you don’t have to spend $500 on RC’s to have fun. He always finds a way to make us all smile 😊👍🏼💯 Cheers 🍻 Mate!

Most of my expensive stuff stays on the shelf… it’s way more satisfying doing videos like this 😎🤟

I cant really afford the more expensive stuff like a max or a kraton, so these reviews on cheaper is what I'm looking for, Phil usually has what I'm looking for within my budget.

For some reason, I love driving 2WD on the sand. Paddles on the rear and pie cutters on the front. i used to do it all the time with my Associated RC10 GT nitro to brushless conversion. So much fun drifting the dunes at Glamis or Pismo beach with it. I covered everything with nylon socks. This was great too. I'm going to have to get myself one. You were having a blast! lol.

it is way more expensive to upgrade the brushed versions. You need to upgrade anything: motor, ESC, reciever, servo, transmitter.... it adds up to more than 100 €/$. I bought the 124019 but I consider to buy the 124016, too. :D

I recently threw all of my WLToys cars in the trash after purchasing a Kraton 6S and a Felony 6S. I liked the WLToys cars and built several, but there is no substitute for Arrma tough baby! The WLToys were all built and very fast, but could not handle the power and would break about every time I ran them. The Felony will do 80mph all day and does not break easily! I will admit that both cars will relieve you of over $500.00 in a hurry! LOL

I was actually going to order these tyres for my hbx16889 that's on a crazy brushless system, but went for some larger off/on road tyres for now, I may have to get me a set of these for down at the beach though, do kinda wish I'd ordered these instead, do you think they work better on the softer or more compacted sand?

[@TomleyRC]

They seem to work very well in the soft stuff. The harder stuff they kinda skipped along.. but still decent

[@Koskiusko]

@@TomleyRC thanks foe the response, I always assumed they'd work better in the soft stuff, as they'd scoop it easier, would you say they were an improvement over the stock tyres all round on sand though?

[@stormycannon8904]

I really like the car with sandy tires probably my next purchase

[@TR850]

To me it looks like all these WLToys trucks and buggies are identical to cars that have been around for years from other manufacturers. I mean, not just copies, but identical. The 124016 looks exactly like the Tacon Cavalry Desert Buggy, which has been around as brushless version for roughly 5 years, but at double the price. The other WLToys 1:12 chassis look exactly like what Tacon sells as 1/14 Thriller Short Course Truck. I think I bought the brushless version of that truck from Tacon for 185 USD five years ago. Actually this is reslly good to know, as spare parts for Tacon where kind of difficult and expensive to get to, but with all the stuff being available for WLToys from Banggood and even Amazon with one day shipping now it is super easy! I just ordered this 124016 from Banggood. Free three day shipping from Czeck Republic is awesome, too!

[@TomleyRC]

Yes they are. Same as the LC Racing, although the LC Racing has better hardware and built better

It looks like a completely different little beast with those paddles. That's absolutely EPIC for a cheapO.
