[@Mini-z1994]

One thing with this buggy & the desert truck that people have recommended too fix is the shock oil is a bit overfilled on two shocks usually that are stiffer then the others. (gets a sort of hydro lock situation where its suddenly a very harsh stop in it's travel. It's an easy fix though, empty out a little bit of it & then press the shock about half way down as you fill it up again & seal it back up.) So it's really stiff & the diffs don't have enough or any grease in them. The wheelnut thing on the older 144001 was fixed already nearly the same month by getting longer shafts with more thread on them during production, so it actually goes through the wheelnut the same as this new version. And scale wise this is 1:14th scale still it's a longer chassis similar too the lc racing 1:14th scale short course truck & desert buggy.

[@SuperSport1966]

Just a heads up. WLToys naming scheme uses the first two digits as the scale. 12428 is 1/12 scale, same as this one. 10428 is their 1/10 scale version of the 12428, etc... Great video guys! I get that feeling every time I bring out my 12428 that I've now upgraded to brushless. But this little buggy really screams for a brushed motor.

[@matthewcopeland4441]

This car is the same as the 144001, just with an extended wheelbase-longer chassis, center driveshaft, and chassis brace. They share the majority of the other parts. They’re both wonderful cars!

[@FarrellMcGovern]

That's pretty impressive! And you are right, it doesn't need any upgrades! I think that brushless upgrade would be way too much power, and you would just spin the wheels and be basically uncontrollable. Fun video!

[@3dprintinglibrary335]

Just bought this for my 9 year old kid. He loves jumping it. He broke the wing off within the second run, but it is built really strong. Love the aluminum shocks and chassis. FYI, if you look ahead of the car by about 10-15 ft you can do course corrections smoother, so that you can hit that ramp nice and fast. Also if you have a 3d printer or wish to buy one, I designed and printed a battery lock that gets locked into the chassis with dowels. Haven’t lost the battery since.

[@SlussmanSr]

I have just ordered mine today, and can't wait to get it. My son and I used to run these rc cars, but then he discovered girls which was over 30 years ago. But after watching this video I just had to get back into this sport. Your excitement and enthusiasm is contagious!

Are you happy with your RC?

[@PhiferFishing]

My son and I have enjoyed this buggy so much. Such good quality for a cheaper RC. We have abused the poor thing also. Thanks so much for the recommendation. Only RC things I have bought are from your recommendations. Y'all have given us a hobby that my son and I can enjoy together.

I asked for this for my birthday after watching this video. This is my first r/c since the 80s and the kid in me is loving it! I do find it runs quite warm but I have nothing to compare it to so that may be normal. I have been eyeing up brushless components to upgrade it but may just pick up a 124017 down the road.

Great video and you do compare it with the 144001. It did take a bashing and that is what people may like out of the box RTR. I got one. Far out you smashed it around off the ramp. I just got into RC cars. I'm not seeing much info on how to keep up the maintenance. I would like to find a forum for RC advice. Great videos thank you TheRCSaylors. I like your honesty. For a bash around it looks good as and a great review. Cheers from AU.

We have both! Love them! Prefer the buggy, such a nice colour 😍 great vid Saylors!

[@jjtsht]

Nate! Do you “really like it?!?!?” 😂😂👍🏻. Just to be clear, it’s the same as the 144001 except it’s longer. Same diffs , suspension, shock towers, etc. the chassis, drive shaft and upper brace is longer. That’s all. And these diffs are shimmed to help prevent them from stripping , which was a problem with the 144001. If you keep it, I highly recommend you open both diffs and grease them. Have fun!!!

[@svvitch9104]

So amazing! I will be getting one of these in the future

[@rcmakingtracks18]

@@TheRcSaylors Maybe you just had a bad one. I jump mine in my garden landing on grass, I've not bent anything yet. Both cars have jumped hundreds of six foot plus jumps. Only thing I've done is soften the suspension a little. Be safe and well guys. John

[@nicolasdemichieli]

So Nice!!!!! You should use this ramp more times! I have the same ramp and a big one (same style, plastic, but wider and higher by kryptonite). The small one is almost impossible to hit if you do not behind the ramp (with 1/14 or 1/12 scale), but the big one is easier and much more funny!

I think people are actually missing the whole point of this video and the hobby completely. I’m subscribed and followed the Rc Saylors on Instagram, they put a good amount of effort to make videos so people don’t buy something that’s not worth your hard-earned-money. It’s great that a company or brand made a hobby more affordable as well as it being fun, you’ll be more happy knowing that you have spent a small amount of money for this much fun as you would with rc car that was two or three times more of that amount. I hope you, Nate and Abby, keep on making amazing content like this. :) -Alpha Studio Production

Bro dont lose her, she really loves you, is hard to find someone who cares your hobbues 🥺

[@smith41978]

I have the 144001 and it has so many problems, it's the same vehicle with a shorter chassis making it 1/14 😢 I'm actually scrapping them for repairing my LC Racing vehicles for whatever parts fit like the suspension parts and wheels and the bodies and wing if I convert any of the trucks to a buggy. I would be tempted to get this RC, it looks really nice but amongst my 3 WL and my 5 LC RCs my WLToys RCs all have gear issues, they were very fast at first but now grind like crazy which is a real bummer. I hope that they will make some improvements as they have a lot of potential so do the LC cars.

[@RileyBanksWho]

Some advice for all 144 and 124 owners: - Check diffs and put differential grease in them - Refill shocks with 1000cps (60 weight shock oil). I used Traxxas brand - Buy 2 spare diffs (trust me, you wanna do this) -Buy metal wheel nuts -Buy offroad tires from aliexpress for more grip (they cost about $10 for a set) A CHEAP 2600mAh battery will run for about 5~8 minutes. An A brand 5000-5500mAh battery will run for about 25~30 minutes. Also, if you currently own a 144001, you can convert it to a 124019 once the spare chassis, center driveshaft and chassis bridge go online ;) Have fun!

Nice video! Impressive car! This might be my next car. I have a 144001 and wouldn’t consider jumping it more than a couple feet on asphalt. After changing the wheel nuts and greasing the differentials, It’s a great inexpensive, fast car for concrete or asphalt. I stopped running it off road as it needed repair after every couple runs.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Maybe I just got lucky with all of the abuse we threw at this RC, but in my experience it would have broken something after just a couple ramps if it was going to break. I love this buggy! Kicking out an older RC from my collection to keep this one 😁 If you plan on ordering it, please consider doing so through our link. It helps us keep the lights on at no extra cost to you. Thanks for watching 👍⚓😎

[@chrshndsh]

@@TheRcSaylors I watched that landing a couple times at .25 speed. Freeze framed it on impact. Lol. That wheel is bent out about 45 degrees in the front. Hard impact. I’m by no means experienced at jumps, but observant. From watching videos and the limited jumping I have done, I’m convinced it’s all in the landing. When I first got my 144001, I watched two videos from a guy in an RC Facebook group complaining that every time out he was replacing the front swing arm or C hub. He was landing heavily throttle on the front wheels. Often wedging into a rock or ditch while still powering the drive train. I’ve replaced mine once after hitting a steel lamp post cruise around 3/4 speed at the Port of Ashland.
