This $60 RC Crawler WAS the Best Money Could Buy!

This is the NEW Fayee FY003-5A. I loved the FY0003A, it was the Best Cheap RC Crawler Money could buy. Is the New Version any better? A Murdered out RC Land Rover!

you know what you have to do now don't you? Take the nice body and put it on the nicer chassis and you're GOLD jerry GOLD!!!

Hey what is the name of the rc car?

[@justinmoate3143]

Glad to see you're still featuring the budget models, that's what brought me to your channel originally. Good stuff Phil!

[@TomleyRC]

No matter how big my channel gets, I’ll always cover the cheaper stuff. It’s what the channel is built on 👌

@@TomleyRC Could you please give me some info on a 3s lipo that will fit in the wltoys 144001. I've watched your videos and the links no longer go to a working page. Around the $30 range. Thank you so much!!

[@rhynecars]

I bought the orange one earlier this year and it had the same problem, weak, then jumpy throttle when under load. Reverse worked great though, so I reversed the motor wires and the soldered. Works fine now.

[@hunainyounas5678]

Thank you for reviewing this car and listening to my recommendation

[@hadynmcloughlin4661]

Love the budget series - took my daughter to her first drift day yesterday and she ran the WPL12 truck with drift tyres and she had fun all for $85. Crawling together next. Keep up the great content.

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

The thing I didn’t like about the OG FY003a was the non-proportional motor steering. Mine still had the while plastic adjustment underneath. I ended up harvesting the body and mounting it on an RGT 13161 chassis. Mine was also only $40 and probably had not been upgraded like your original one. Satin black looks decent. Looks exactly like my RC4WD 1:18 D90 I ended up installing on an SCX24 chassis a couple of years ago. I wonder if MN will update their version now.

[@UnboxRacing]

I'm loving these crawler videos, slow motion and close ups.

[@eltrocp9256]

Is it 1/16 or 1/12?

[@fire_invader8433]

If i change my circuit board how i can reconnect my remote control with the new one (stock transmiter)

[@DustyFingersRC]

I remember the first video, what a shame they changed the electronics, frustrating. Body looks awesome. Great video 👍🏼

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah.. disappointing isn’t it

[@clancy2277]

Your sense of humor is hilarious. Hahaha. Doing great on these videos.

[@TomleyRC]

Haha thank you. A lot don’t get my humour, but I’m slowly introducing it to the videos 😅

[@mikemangiameli561]

That's cool looks great 👍 do what I always do with crappy electronics get a furitek and it will be better. I bought two rgt 136161 because I saw you reviewed them and thought it would be cool to have matching rc to get my wife into Rcs. Put the furitek in and wow what a fun rc. Wife says it is way better and I agree much better with good ESC. Just wish I knew what brushless motor I could put in it. Keep up the good work. Love ya

[@GCGarage1]

You got a budget crawler run down? Or can you do one chap 👍

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

This is a real steal ! Would love to see them come out with a new or old Bronco version! Great review Phil!

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah that would be cool!

[@givman2004]

Please do a video on the best £250 RC you can buy. Has to be battery and as big as poss. Got some cash saved for a woods/ quarry basher and Arrma Boost Vorteks currently top of my list.

[@mzmhrc1274]

Mine just received yesterday. Idk why reverse power is stronger and faster than forward is that same to you? And fyi my stock esc not produce sound like yours, just quiet.

[@jasondessin8962]

Sounds like the old mosfett Novak speed controllers from the 1990s my RC10 T sounded like that and It was a 150 dollar speed control. Great video.

[@gabrielpichardo1492]

I hate that whine ! Some of my rcs do that and i dont know if its the motor or the esc making that sound !! Someone please enlighten me. How do you fix that sound?

[@Atmotom1]

So is the orange still available to buy anywhere and are the parts upgradable?

[@HappyWheelFan2013]

If you're able, you should check out one of the short wheelbase Corally 1/8 6s (dementor xp, jambo xp, etc.) They're on sale pretty much everywhere on and offline for $430-$440 USD. A great bargain at that price point I reckon. My chassis isn't even bent (yet) after I pulled a 35ft jump with a flat landing. They're probably more rigid than the long wheelbase counterpart Kronos many reviewers ran in the past. I used a full size front diffuser support to make a steel center chassis brace because I wasn't sure about the angled plastic ones from factory. But it looks like in some markets, like France, it actually comes with a center metal brace AND a GPS holder

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic and honest review, Phil! Thanks! 😃 But yeah... Pretty weird. Instead of making it better... They make this. 😕 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@mikeymike3240]

Loved the Scoobie Doo twisted snigger lol 😝, niiiiiiiiiiice video.

[@tomjohns8498]

Simple question will you be contacting them as to the changes?

[@basementracer]

I see a Spectre Land Rover build coming!

[@alantaylor353]

Those electronics seem like a perfect job for Scooby & the gang.!! Unfortunately Velma can't call them for help because her phone was tucked inside her knee sock & we all know what Phil did to her with his Dremel don't we...... So I suppose we'll never know....

[@TomleyRC]

Hahahaha

[@erood6190]

I like the reviews of these cheap rc cars. It will stop me from ever waisting money on these. Better save up for a nice Traxxas or Axial or a slightly more affordable FTX.

[@calumfleming3617]

Awesome video almost 100k subs!

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers Calum. Yeah, only a few thousand to go!

[@radiovlogi]

6:16 something is wrong with the black one. Like something binding in the powetrain. Look at the body rolling from the motor torque before the car moves at all. Maybe not the electronics at fault?

[@shaneblangsted6705]

Looks great but let down by the electronics I'd just swop the bodies over the saying if it's not broke don't fix it to comes mind here great review as usual Phil

[@Xionmass]

Thank you for still making cheap RC car videos.. a lot has sorta stoped doing this . Tony for example .

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, I prefer the cheaper stuff. You get more fun when you know it’s not cost you a fortune 👌

[@mdgiebel]

So as of this video what budget crawler would you recommend for a novice with a budget under $100 US?

[@RCModSquad]

That little whine is in fact a bit annoying but I do like the drag brake. 👍

[@michaeldorich4485]

It's a great looking crawler. May be the the electronics are different because they wanted to save money and keep the price down. For a lot of people they may buy it just based on its appearance. Your video work and review were great.

[@DroneMee]

100% Seems like an anti-consumer thing to do. Hopefully this review lowers the potential sales.

[@SamSitar99]

The electronics was one of it's best features.

[@3Y3ECE]

Lolz i got a fayee for the body then i put it on a wpl setup so it worked right!! Great, honest vid! That sound is 100% annoying!!

What scale is it & is it worth it to replace the esc & motor & if so what is available for it

Looks great,definitely needs upgrades, think some people will turn it into something awesome 👌 😀👍

Yes, lots of potential

Looks awesome but shame about the performance. You should swap the black body onto the orange chassis and make the ultimate version!

What scale is this? Thanks

[@shsammii93]

you have a link for the old version?

[@seanw4558]

at 0:41 you were pointing at the box of the new Fayee and the photo shows the crawler with tracks instead of tires, is their any way to buy the tracked variant?

[@demonstructie]

Love how utterly un-snobbish you are Phil. You still call a spade a spade if a car is rubbish at the price, but you're not shitting on a car just because a car that's 5x the price is a bit better in some areas.

[@TomleyRC]

Thank you. I actually prefer to look at the cheaper stuff. Far more rewarding when you find a Diamond in the rough (which unfortunately this is not!)

[@rcworldKenya]

Nice Land Rover Defender

[@ucitymetalhead]

Is there enough space between the underside of the body and the chassis to extend the foot space so it can fit a figure without removing the legs?

[@ChiefRickyRC]

Hey TomleyRC great rig there I love all the MN's and WPLs! Gotta question, so I hear you turn down lots of rc reviews. Could you forward them to me possibly? 🍻 Allgood

Is that waterproof?

[@bishopscastlerc]

I've just brought one an I think it's really good an I will be putting videos of it on my KZbin channel Bishops Castle RC

[@TomleyRC]

Nice 👌

[@PhilipBallGarry]

Why do they do that? 😩. Take a perfectly decent product and "upgrade" it - making it better to look at potentially, but ruining functionality 🙄. Then, of course there's a clamour for the '"mk1" which results in inflated prices and ultimately poor value 🙁. Love the channel - just discovered it. Thinking of getting another crawler myself. My last one was a Tamiya CR01 (SJ) which was a kit in those days (10 years ago). RC Crawling was unknown where I lived at the time. People who saw me out with mine were curious - but the inevitable first question from Muggles was always, "How fast does it go?" 🤔😂😂

[@TomleyRC]

‘How fast is it’… the most common question with all RCs 😅

[@Tamichtube]

Looks like a JY66 with an added drag break, I got the JY66 and even on sale I was really disappointed.

[@modelnutty6503]

looks to me like they're getting rid of older #316 gearboxes, I know I did! budget fix = MN's 260 gearbox with a 280 motor swapped in, is very "crawly". my original MN D-90: #316 was BAD, tan B36 gearbox with 180 wasn't enough power for all the NEEDED wheel weighting. 260 gearbox with 280 in it, really just about right.

[@TomleyRC]

This has a 180 by the looks of it. I’m gonna try a different ESC

[@trashtoter]

what kind of battery connector is it

[@hellofromsoutheastalaskarc7517]

Hello from southeast alaska sweet looking truck bro

[@imjangsuk]

What is the size of the tire wheel?

[@itsopea5525]

it looks really good for $60! but it was worse than the FY0003A in many aspects and i agree the indicators are annoying and would piss me off. when i saw the FY003-5A just by looking at it without the title of the video i would think it was $100 i would like to see some more drift rc cars and even for fun modifying toy grade rc cars.

[@TomleyRC]

Got some Toy grade upgrade videos in the pipeline 👍

[@MrEnglischjules]

cool..totally new here... watched a couple of videos so far. I seem to go for the crawling stuff rather than the speed ones. I only found out about these RC things cos i was looking on ebay for something for my real 4x4... and it took me to a 1/10 scale set lol. I own a mid 90s Pajero gen 2 (Shogun in UK spec). which i am modding, so i can drive back to Ukraine in it.. i was there in March helping animals.. Story short i like these, i make plastic models, Airfix etc people think of first... planes, tanks, soldiers.. and the odd US cop car. But i would love to buy one of these RC things, find a body shell and then add all the detail sets i saw, like shovels, hi lift jacks etc.. but also detail with the airbrush and by hand small stuff.. Would love to make a roof back to match mine, and the other bits added. I must watch more videos when i get time (i trap and rescue feral cats and kittens here in Sheffield and around for charities) Nice to find a UK channel as all others were US based. i still dont understand half you are on about... but seems fun.... and i need more fun in my life.
