I'd absolutely take the Toyota over the Tesla!

Me too 😎

Hell Yeah, love that body style 👍😎🔥

Hello from Germany Your videos are the reason for starting the RC hobby. I ordered the MJX Hyper Go brushless with 2 Batteries ;-) Hope for much more videos 🙂

[@rcjunior888]

Woke Up to a Beautiful Morning. Had Breakfest. And the Cherry On Top Is this Video! Thanks for making my Morning! I will definitely use your list!

Good Morning 😎🤘

Solid list my man. RC's for all 👍👍

[@rctraildriversuk-lone-wolfvide]

good video and some great cars on parade, i have the MJX hyper go brushless and yep its a beast

[@electricnitrorc]

Amazing 144001 still in the top. It stood the test of time. Great list of small rcs 👍🙂

[@joonyoungie]

Loving the SportsCenter Top10 segues great list too!👍

[@SharkysGarageRCandMore]

Nice list, i have several of these, in fact i have speed run the pinecone models ones, and the wltoys (buggy version) recently. Have to agree that the brushed version of the pinecone is way smoother to drive.

[@Breakaway_RC]

Oooh something to watch on the lunch break 👍🏻

[@TomleyRC]

Enjoy your lunch 👌

[@adrianpilbeam7403]

Great list mate. The FTX Tracer brushless for the UK folks is awesome and I know Rochester RC had them in stock not long ago. Even the brushed ones are good fun. As for the 144001... Awesome little buggy. It got me into the hobby and it's how I found your channel mate...

the hbx clone is better because has all metal parts

No probs dude

[@AandB1998]

The Toyota would be my choice hands down. If the choice was a free Tesla or buy a Toyota. I’d take the free Tesla of course, and then sell it and buy the Toyota 😊 As always, love your reviews. I wasn’t expecting the 144001 to be your #2. I love mine though so, makes sense. Have a great day!

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, I’d keep the Hilux over the Tesla any day 👌

Jus t got the hyper go H16GT. I love the smaller 1 16 stuff... They're the perfect yard basher. Don't need alot of space for full-speed and if you hit a jump they fly fairly well. I really enjoy them their lil cars..

[@gordousmaximus]

Cant wait to jump into the world of WLToys small scale RC’s…..I dont think anyone else on YT gives them the attention you do ! Thx for that great vid

[@Pholiage]

I bought a 144001 for $100. It was fast out the box but I put a 4300kv brushless motor in it and it's absolutely mental. I ordered a full set of aluminum parts from amazon for about $30 and it's very strong and durable. Gave it a tumble at 60mph. Only thing was some scrapes on the wing and body. Do recommend the car.

[@TomleyRC]

Welcome 🙏

Im almost 40... I've had an amazing career. Ive worked for famous people and have seen some awesome stuff but talk to me about Aliens, dioramas, trains and Rc cars bro and you'll really get to see what i really like. As I near retirement have made it my mission is to be that adult i wish to be as a child. Im glad I came across this channel as my obsession with rcs has recently been awoken back. I forgot how fun they were. Thanks for your expertise!

What a huge wpl c-24 you have there!

[@andrew4403]

Well you're a smart guy I have five of them and I love them better than the big name brands also. That's why I watch your channel and I'm subscribed to it because you know what you're talking about. Sometimes. Lol just kidding. MJX hyper go brand is top in my eyes like you said very fast they look good and they're durable and cheap. Can't get much better than that. Keep up the good videos and I'll keep watching. God bless

[@mivecsi]

Great vid!! If you had to pick one, which one would you go for? Thanks.

[@Krapper515]

On Amazon right now, they have a brushed Hyper Go buggy for $60 USD. I bought 3 of them for my nieces and nephew for Christmas time. And they're just as good as my brushless MT other than speed of course. $60 for a Hyper Go is absolutely mental

[@MCsCreations]

Excellent list, Phil! Thanks a bunch! 😃 But you know, I have a crazy idea lately... I've seen some toy cars, not even rc, that are REALLY cheap and beautiful. Like a Mustang, Challenger and so on... And I'm thinking about getting a good rc car which the chassis would fit underneath. So I could modify it and use as a hard body, let's say. 😬 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@jayhow997]

Cant go wrong with a 144. I bought one in lockdown and a load of spares like arms diffs diff housing's expecting them to break and 2 years later still on same arms same diff housings same diffs. But i do put some of it down to having a car shell on it that takes most of the hit during an impact so the arms dont. Mines the blue mighty car mods chopped mk2 escort i posted on your Facebook page last week .

[@TomleyRC]

The 144 is certainly a bit of a classic now

Hey there tomley rc...have u or can you do a reveiw of the MN128 1/12 rubicon jeep. Are you a fan...know you liked mn86 merc wagon. Could you do an upgraded version...to make it better n see if it can compete with higher priced trail trucks and crawlers. Peace.

To be fair that Toyota Hilux looks freaking amazing, so good thing you show it off. And yes the 144001 is definitely worthy.

Thanks

[@juddvansickle]

I'd add the Hosim Brushless RC Car, 1:16 to that list. Great cheap little 2s truck. Love my Wltoys 144, but it breaks every time I drive it...

[@christinafinley9254]

damn💀

[@oBsRVr666]

The Hosim Brushed 1:16 Truck for under 100$ looks like a 1:1 rebrand of the first Hyper Go iteration from MJX. Down to the included GPS device.

[@thewizardjohn]

just going with the attempt to satisfy curiosity - I am intrigued by what these particular manufacturers are actually measuring out to be, "1:16" "1:14" "1:18" - When Tamiya put out the M-Chassis stuff (mine is a m03 mini cooper) it was said that those were "1:14" scale in actuality, as compared to the 10th scale touring cars at the time. I'm sure you've got a Tamiya Mini body, can you please see how the wheel placement compares to those rc cars mentioned in this video? The goal would be to make a "more scale" off road mini cooper (or similar m-chassis body) - and I would very likely mod it to stay FWD by the way. Cheers! Keep the great channel going!

[@TomleyRC]

I don’t think anyone really does proper scale

[@eabradley1108]

The way your videos always have some savage rap track inspires such cognitive dissonance. I love it.

[@TomleyRC]

It's interesting to read the comments on my music choices. Especially those that tell me the music was crap... I always wonder what music they would have chose. With any fast paced montage, Rap/Hip-hop or similar is usually the only one that works. I'm glad you agree... well, 'cognitive dissonance' is not a term I've ever heard in the comments before, but I think I understand what you mean ;)
