Great video! My favorite part of this hobby is the building. Taking an old model and re imagining it and just rebuilding it is the most fun of all. Easily one of my favorite channels. Great work!

[@pixieh.9302]

Love your work! Keep it up! You inspire me regularly to keep tinkering. Thank you, Phil!

[@bradleycoleman1837]

Good job, mate. I keep seeing you innovate while staying in the limits of reality and without being overly dramatic. Thanks for efforts to provide quality content.

[@viniciusbrito7512]

Super cool! Great build!

[@davidhiscock1969]

Definitely like the idea of sand paddles. Next time you go beach it would be cool to see how it runs

[@TomleyRC]

Yes definitely 👍

[@lincs_rc1902]

Love it mate, looks mega!

[@phantom246]

hay bud, little tip for removing frozen screws. put a fillips bit on a soldering iron, hold it in place for a few seconds and heat the screw really hot then use a regular screwdriver to remove it. similar to what you did with lower risk.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes that’s another way 👌

[@zZwellZz]

The best good looking wltoys I've ever seen.

[@TomleyRC]

I agree… looks even better up close

[@HenryCalderonJr]

Awesome 😎 thank you I just ordered mine too! So your links are great! Wow that is slower then usual! Glad you figured it out! Should run about 20+ mine arrives on Feb 2nd

[@basementracer7622]

Excellent stuff! LOve it Mr Tomley sir, the driver MUST be a smurf! Pappa Smurf preferably.

[@TomleyRC]

Papa Smurf for sure 😎👌

Looks awesome

[@bigdadgigachad3042]

Love this build Phil. Came out fantastic. Was also great to see you repurpose all those parts and not just buy new stuff. I add 5+ points on for cutting down on waste, 5+ points keeping it budget friendly and 10+ points for how well it came out. 🔥🔥🔥 120/100 A++

[@bdates1111]

Enjoyed very much! Thanks

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude

[@Fleecewy]

I'm so glad to see a video of one of these. I got one a few years ago from my dad, and he and i used to make a bunch of courses for it. I got it out this year and the poor thing needs a refresh, so I'm gonna take some of your recommendations ❤❤

[@fernandomartin624]

These things are amazing I have the 12428s and love them.

[@Paul0088]

Came out nice 🎉

[@reyesgonzalez1816]

Es muy refrescante volver a ver viejos coches por el canal y más si es para hacer una mejora del coche de stock. Recuerdo que dediqué bastante tiempo en transformar el 12429 a crawler, y lo cierto es que se manejaba muy bien entre los rastreadores verdaderos. Te propongo esa nueva transformación, que será muy divertida de ver. Un placer darte un gran like Phil.

[@TheUnknown714]

Awesome looking rc. You did a fantastic job with the turn around.

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks mate

I got the 12429 as my first rc car recently, totally stock but oh so much fun!!

[@user-jv3ev3ct1d]

And the car look very beautiful the wheel are looking very and sporty the coolest car of wltoys thank you

[@rcplaytime]

Looks great,surprised how slow it is stock,you did a great job improving it 😀👍👍👍

[@NordicRC]

Good job. Looks good☺️

[@MyNameIsTimIThink]

I just got the brushed senton. It handles so well. It's getting a brushless today. Such a nice platform

[@TomleyRC]

Noice 👌

The 10428 was killer!

[@HenryCalderonJr]

I wish I could upgrade like yours in the future. My summer goal hopefully

[@chevyb0195]

Such a good build.

That's one of the things I love about the hobby. Take a car that not great, add another that's not great, have a bit of a tinker, and make something better. Awesome. 😎👍🏻

[@mosrcz]

Love the build Phil. 😊

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude

[@HenryCalderonJr]

I did get mine and for now stock but glad I was able to afford it and bought this week a general balanced lipo multi chemistry charger. Cool 😎

[@ponyexpressrc]

Great build! Good luck with that drive shaft on brushless 😁

[@MichaelSmith-ew1ws]

Bro I'm just letting you know I'm a big fan of your channel you have really good content and a lot of it keep it up man definently my number one channel for rc!!! #usa

[@Top-Jimmy]

Really like this one Tomley... Nice build man. As you said, Would be good to see it with paddles.. Take care mate, MQ4

[@grrfy]

these remind me of a 2 seater fireteam .this always seemed a bit slower than the 428 replacing the lower front suspension damper links with extra internal spring dampers(thoose cheap blue ones like use on wpl ,works well on front suspension and i think looks cool (the main thing)

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, a 2 seater Fireteam for sure! I love the look of the front in this

[@ckakka2]

Sway bar would do wonders, added one to my 10428 brushless conversion

[@dexterbeattie7884]

Awesome build Phil! I love the way it look’s. Please throw some paddle’s on it and take it to the beach 🏝️

[@TomleyRC]

Yes… maybe a revisit in the Summer 🤘

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

I ❤ the look of this Phil. Great wheel/ tire selection. I’ve always said wheels and tires can can totally transform any car!😀 I really thought you were going to put a 2845 mor in it . This 3650 still did an except job! Nice running car!👍🏻👊🏼😀

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah a little big in the motor… but plenty of torque 😅

[@brandondecker1881]

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude. Yeah, never easy taking these things apart!

[@petrospan5056]

I have both 12428 and 12429, the 12429 is indeed a lot slower than the old 12428. My son and me drag race them, all stock ESC and motor. I think the ESC set up is different.

[@jayfarthing]

Fun looking buggy to drive from the looks of things. I like the mix of independent front suspension and then the solid axle at the back. Would be great fun with the stock tyres just bashing about in some woods and over some rocks I imagine! Looks a bit of a pain to work on with all those screws and plastic mind.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes these are pretty fun off road in stock form

[@utoob047]

Yo Tomley!! 2 times in a row! Cheers for the latest vid 😀💯👍

That's one looks alot better than the older one...I noticed from your clip back in 2017 you shown that was mod housing if not I am shocked haha 😂

[@machoman5356]

Looks like a capo ace

[@Mr4fksake]

Looks like the forerunner to the fire team, nice little conversion

[@NBC_NCO]

I had a Fayee that looked like that chassis design. 1/12 scale. Very very slow. Broke in less than 10 minutes of use. I've since used the suspension and transmission on different custom builds. What you have done here looks amazing.

[@MauzyrockRC]

Nice one mate! I have the same makita electric driver, quality! Definitely a fan of the Dumbo gear too. Cheers

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, I have a lot of Makita stuff, never had any issues with it 👌

[@sharksrcbash]

I had just finished saying out loud, that would look great with paddle tires and then you said it. Great minds think alike.

[@chrislang7460]

Great video. I'd be interested to see the speedrun potential with some castle electronics. You know you've got some, The cat is called Sox

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, not sure Sox would survive a Castle set up 😂

[@thelonewolf3515]

I´ve got the amewi desert eagle brushed and this buggy was the introduction for me to the rc world. still got it, but don´t use it anymore :D

[@LukazRC]

I've built a VRX Octane/FTX outlaw similar to this it's my on road track monster an handles so good around the track

[@jayhow997]

Chuck a sensored system in there and I bet that would crawl well, tyres obviously. But the ground clearance is good the articulation is good might be a tiny bit top heavy but I reckon it'd do well.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes they do crawl pretty good with the diffs locked up 👌

[@django2467]

I wish they made 1/8th scale truggy specific hoons to fit the kraton 6s the Team corally line up and also the fireteam The only options out there is the sweep racing road crushers and the jetko tyres which I don't mind but we need more options in the hobby But I like the look of the build The hobao caged buggy or truggy street build would be awesome

[@TomleyRC]

Truggy Hoons would be awesome 👌

[@009ADVENTURES]

that looks awesome bud, can't work out how it was so slow to start with but sure did ok after 👍

[@TomleyRC]

It was so slow 😅

[@FarmerFpv]

How dare you! 😂😂 That thing is awesome, BTW!

[@TomleyRC]

Haha. Cheers dude

[@frednel4326]

Yeah awesome buggy bro, i got one of these a week ago and its so good that im getting a 2nd one end of this month,im in South Africa and i cant seem to find a full 12 scale driver to put in it online lol, but i think on the 2nd one ill put wider wheels on and upgrade the shocks and ajustible steering rods on both, but the brushed motors will remain, brushless is too fast because i want to crawl with them also and only in and around my yard and i hate crashing and rolling them so not too much speed for me thanks, i treat them like i treat my real car 😜, btw i enjoy ur rc videos thanks bro, peace from South Africa ✌

[@mnakash77]

This is one of the best looking cars from wltoys and it demands a brushless conversion but with the original tires.Excited to see your video but wish you'd take it to the rough terrain. It could be an interesting rift like rock bouncer. The price however can be high for this conversion... Maybe if they wltoys do it.

[@TomleyRC]

Maybe a bit of crawling and off road next time 👌

[@andreRC88]

Thank you buddy to bring my old model 12423 want to see what can you do to faster ,my still original just 550 motor lost alote power and not been doing much about,bit you'r one come out nice 🙂👌

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, was a good little project for me… the original one was really good when it came out

[@flat-out]

This chassis set up reminds me of the Vaterra Twin Hammers.

[@kashmurray1199]

Definitely better. That screw was a "B". Lol good job.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes… got the little ‘B’ out 👌

I’m surprised it’s not a Barbie car… Just kidding friend. 😂 We are all in it for the fun of toys. Good day then.

If I recall correctly, with the 'reverse' issue on the WLTOYS receiver, you use the other pair of pins on the receiver, so instead of CH1 and CH2, use CH3 or HC4
