The $99 RC Car That Might Make You Unsubscribe!

When Wltoys released this New 124010, I made a post on my page about it. and I said to Unsubscribe if an KZbinr gave it a good review! They made some changes.... but it's still not perfect.

hi

[@rustytoolman4912]

"Durability", "stop breaking stuff" and "unsubscribe" all in the same video. Perfect! I say that because the abuse and deliberately breaking RC cars is what puts me off other channels (that and screaming at the camera). I really appreciate your video's Thank you !

[@jaytee8188]

Thanks, I couldn’t have put it better myself. 👍

[@TomleyRC]

Haha.. some keywords right there. I love the skate park, but it’s very rare I try to break stuff. The Brushless video got out of hand 😅

[@danglebals8432]

BOOM and the abuse is repaired! 🤦🏻

[@Frydo]

Yeah, like some of the channels, heres a 1400$ Rc-car, with 1500$ worth of upgrades, lets see if it can handle 100mph into a brick wall. It's stupid. and then they scream an laught of the crushed car.

[@oldman1944]

Yep, deliberate breaking of stuff is a massive turn off. Comes across as very immature and entitled.

[@needmoreboost6369]

The fact that they are willing to put real dampener’s on is commendable! It would make a good stocking stuffer for Christmas! and I think for an entry level car they look a whole lot better than a toy store option!

[@seanwilson9117]

I know it's brushed, but a 550 size in a 1/12 scale is PLENTY for a 8-13 year old kid to get into RC. Had the 124018 with the same electronics and my kid, and I honestly, loved it. That's why I ended up getting the 124016 and if I'm being honest, it's almost uncontrollable. The 124018 was about perfect for the scale, really. I just like the extra bit of insanity from the brushless system, but the 550 was adequate.

[@Nordlicht05]

I agree. But 99 is pretty good I think 🤔 I sometimes don't know what you get for nearly $500 or euros. I often don't see were these are worth the money.

[@TomleyRC]

Seems very reasonable for about 80 quid! Even back in the day when I was a kid a basic Tamiya kit was more than that with no radio gear etc. This is definitely great for youngsters to get started.

[@dualtrondreamteam6811]

The advantage of the 550 motor is... brushless motor options rather than the 390 can size if you are wanting to over power it or do speed runs

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, the black and red looks good 👌

[@michaeldorich4485]

This is an excellent review and I won't unsubscribe. It's a decent buggy, but the overheating while running it in grass could be a problem for younger driers who may want to take out in the yard to run it.

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, it’s cheap enough and performs well enough for kids 👌

[@ucitymetalhead]

These wltoys don't like 550 motors it seems, mine likes to cut out in grass when I put in a 550.

[@3Y3ECE]

I've been waiting for WLToys to do something great since I bought the 12428 all those years ago... I've dumped a lot of money into mine, and now it is a sweet rig... But I'd like to buy a sweet rig from WLToys, not something that needs an overhaul and 70% aftermarket parts... Great video, as always. Another car I will pass on, though. Make it brushless, ditch the crappy radios and electronics, and make something super dialed-in out of the box, and I will hop back on-board. Enjoy the rides, my friend.

[@Top-Jimmy]

Mate buy a WL 12016 desert buggy. It's the most fun on 4 wheels you will have in a 1/12, Have a look at Phil's review on that beast, Its off its chops!!.

[@d.r.4453]

I actually just subscribed LOL! Nice honest review. I think this would make a great entry RC for both kids and adults. Looks like great fun for the price. Goes to show that you don't need to spend a fortune on an RC to enjoy the hobby. Keep up the great work!

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude. Yeah it’s decent for kids or new people to the hobby

[@WCPRCModelsCraft]

Something perfect for the kids I reckon. Looks like a neat simple and enjoyable offroader.

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, and with todays prices, $99 doesn’t sound to bad (although the MJX would be my choice)

[@WoolstyRC]

This is why i stay subscribed to you, you're honest and not a rc snob you appreciate the cheaper range (my budget range 😂) i thank you for your channel been the way it is keep doing you we will still be watching 👊🏼🤙🏼💨💨💨

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude. I don’t even get the more affordable stuff in just for you guys tonearcj either…I actually prefer running them to the high end stuff most of the time. It annoys me that all the big companies are charging 500-1000 for their products, and a alot of them still break, or have quality issues etc. my XRT cracked all 4 wheels after the first run! The Losi SBR stickers looked like they had been put on by a 5yr old… they take us for fools! (Well.. they try to!). At least with the cheaper stuff, if it breaks or has a few quality issues, it’s not cost us a week or mores wages!

[@WoolstyRC]

@@TomleyRC ye that's it and with the cheaper stuff you kind of expect them to be abit pants but then when there good you feel good about your purchase 🙂

[@shadyhazza]

the motor mount in the brushless version is reversible. And they geared it LOW, not high, and you can put the higher gear pinion in it. 50kph is low, the old ones used to do 70mph out of the box? also the brushless version has a fan on the ESC

[@whitecompany18]

Been through 4 batteries today with my wltoys 204018 still loving it two years later... Still not broken

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, they are decent 🤘

[@franshaan7388]

I might have over looked it, do you need to buy the batterie seperate? Or is it included to the 100 quid? I really like the video!!

[@MostlyRCSlovakia]

Hello, what WL Toys buggy would you recommend for Dad and Son for some light bashing on grass or gravel or easy surfaces ? Top speed is not at all important. Mostly the durability, spare parts availability and reliability. Also battery runtime might be important, will for sure buy at least 2 batteries. Oil shocks is a must. I was checking the 124008 amongst others and do not have a clear picture what is a sweetspot there.. Thanks in advance for an advice.

I own a 124017 for around two years now, I run it on 3s. It's stupidly quick, electronics never failed on me, took it to the skatepark quite some times, only thing I ever broke was a single link. I do own some 8th scale stuff but I always bring my good old WLToys and I'm still so happy with it! Best rc cars ever

[@IRONCaptainPanic]

I had a Wltoys 1/18 A959-B as my first hobbygrade RC car in 2019, and it sure did me justice because with that 540 Brushed motor I didn't need to upgrade to brushless, I worked so hard mowing lawns earning money over the summer for upgrades and spare parts it made it so much more worth it because I worked hard and earned it like everything should be, and as 15yo who wasn't liked by people and was often lazy that buggy helped me work on myself and my knowledge and it kept me busy and happy despite all the other highly overwhelming negative bs in my life

[@semperatis]

Apart from the 2-in-1, the platform seems to be pretty decent Phil.

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah… I mean for $99 it’s not that bad

[@masjuggalo]

From what I can see outside of the elimination of the metal chassis from the other 12 scale buggy, my only real issue is the five wire servo. I mean I'd really like it if they just put a separate ESC and receiver in it but a three wire servo would be great

[@MCsCreations]

I guess one good thing is that it makes a nice change to see a body shell without all the poofter drag color schemes. Some of them these days are really bad, they look like Christmas paper or a lost poofters sock. One big company is renowned for it. I think we can all work out who that is.

I think it’s a missed opportunity they didn’t make it slower. 19 tooth pinion and 20-25 mph would be perfect for the kids, and then the brushed setup would be fine and last a long time.

[@muskokamike127]

1:27 Ok, KT wouldn't listen to me but maybe you will? When you've got a ripper from WLtoys, how about playing around with some aerodynamics? adding on some "wings" and that would a) increase your jump distance AND soften your landings. I bet the addition of a little bit of wing area on the sides and you could get some serious distance out of your jumps.

[@UnrivaledPiercer]

I wont unsubscribe because I do genuinely enjoy your content. However I still consider an RC like this basically ewaste. The overly simplistic electronics while great for keeping the costs down, also are in a bad place for being easily replaceable by anyone who would likely buy this model to begin with. The end result is the entire thing ends up in the trash when it breaks. The battery being an odd shape would unlikely be easily recognized by someone new to the hobby as usable anywhere else. The fact it uses a 5 wire servo is also not a good thing, as buying replacements is not straight forward. I'm all for budget RC to get as many people into the hobby as possible don't get me wrong. However I feel like basic standards should be met in that regard. Modular setups with easy to find parts that can be easily understood by someone new to the concepts. This is close, but the electronics used really ruin it for me as something I would ever recommend.

[@dougs2k808]

I was hoping they would have used this chassis and stuck the electronics from the 124017 in it. All my batteries are 2s while the 124010 and the 124008 would be terribly slow on 2s with their smaller motors. Give us this chassis with better electronics and it will sell better.

[@RCRoads]

WL toys actually makes some decent cars. For the price of this car it's a great value. I just wonder how easy they are to get parts for. I have a 124016 and it's still alive after tons of abuse. I would say that WLtoys are good for learning to drive and take risks with. They are sacrificial and if you break one just hang on to it for parts and buy another one.
