Loved the video. Thanks for making it man

[@Rek_Rc]

Thanks for watching it.

[@RCRoads]

It looks like a real winner. Drive shafts look real beefy and the plastic / composite is much better than the aluminum. Great car for sure.

[@Rek_Rc]

I really hope they keep going this way, maybe even add the speed back in, but since they are noticeably lighter weight, they might be a handful going much over 50, but I intend to find out hahahaha.

[@mikegreen2214]

Cool! Great to see another positive report on one these little rippers as I wait for mine to finally arrive; it really seems like the buggy to have at that price.

[@Rek_Rc]

It's THE budget buggy to have PERIOD! WLtoys really impressed me with this one and I hope this is their new direction. Maybe they'll even make them into 60 MPH speed demons again. But even if they don't, the car is great and you can always make them faster yourself if you like.

[@ChannelClosed1346]

Looks awesome!👌

[@Rek_Rc]

It's the best buggy WLtoys has made. Very impressed with it!

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

I love the red white and blue paint on these. They made an Rlaarlo killer

[@Rek_Rc]

This is the car I've always wanted from WLtoys. Something cheap, tough, that drives and handles well, and even though it isn't as fast as the old buggies, I don't care, it really is a great all-round RC. I haven't had that much fun with a review in a while!

[@UrbanLegendRC]

That’s one good looking buggy

[@Rek_Rc]

I still can't believe WLtoys made a buggy you can actually bash a bit, and it's actually good.

[@Jokerbatmansupermanspidermant]

Best driver and reviewer

[@Rek_Rc]

I really appreciate you saying that, and I really wish it were true. I might be the worst driver actually hahahahaha. But it makes me good at testing durability, so being a bad driver has some value of sorts.

[@Jokerbatmansupermanspidermant]

Honestly that was true, I hope I can get that this month, and upgrade the motor to 5900kv premium and 22t pinion

[@Rek_Rc]

@@Jokerbatmansupermanspidermant that's going to be crazy fast

[@OCTEXRC]

Got myself one of these as well. Absolutely rips and run time is fairly long! Only problem I've had was my right rear wheel axle got messed up on the 4th run. There was so much movement to where the dogbones are placed. Rookie mistake by me however, I should've checked it first beforehand 😅 Got the parts I needed, otherwise this is by far my favorite rc car from Wltoys

[@Rek_Rc]

I'm so happy WLtoys has realized cheap speed just isn't as important as fast enough and durable is .

[@Rek_Rc]

You should see how well it did at the SKATEPARK. That thing took a beating

[@OCTEXRC]

@Rek RC Same here dude. If Wltoys keeps making them like this in the future, then they're definitely stepping in the right direction 👍 Awesome video by the way, keep it up 🔥

[@OCTEXRC]

@Rek RC Oh dude I just watched that today actually, thing took one hell of a beating and I'm impressed! The build quality is great for this buggy as you've mentioned. For the price of it, it's definitely worth it

[@Rek_Rc]

@@OCTEXRC yep it's hard to top at the price with that durability.

[@stevearmett1565]

I have one, the rear wing ws bent in shipping so I put an LC racing white wing which is much better and I run it on the CNHL 3s 2200mah 30c black batteries bought 4 for £45 almost an houra worth of bashing on the 4 batteries 😁👍 great little basher buggy

[@Rek_Rc]

I hope WLtoys keeps it up with this new direction

@@reitplace4765 I'm totally blown away by how good this car is. I've always wanted WLtoys to make a car like this, what a breath of fresh air. I hope they stay on this new path!

[@reitplace4765]

@@Rek_Rc agree completely. I have some Basher upgrades coming for mine. It's great how many 144001 parts work.

[@Rek_Rc]

@@reitplace4765 hahahah yep I have the 144010 and some left over parts from my 124017 and they fit! So WLtoys thought ahead enough to not change the car so much they make their existing parts obsolete.

Hi men. I thinking buy one wltoys, what did you recommed? 124007 or the 124008

[@Rek_Rc]

124008

[@eduardomalcom2228]

Hello, great video.... where can I get the adapter to charge the battery with balancer plug, with IMAX B6 charger, thank you for your support

[@Rek_Rc]

You can usually fine multi cell and multi connector adapters on Amazon pretty easily

[@eduardomalcom2228]

@@Rek_Rc do you have a link ? help me

[@Rek_Rc]

@@eduardomalcom2228 actually with that particular car you be better off just getting another 3s lipo as long as you don't mind just taking the battery case apart, which is what I did, but then I still got another 3s lipo for it.

They definitely looked at the MJX Hyper Go for sure. It looks similar.

How's the delay problem with that one? Disregard... Answered at 2:40

Yep, it's the best WLtoys has ever made in this size

[@bernardedouardlebois6202]

😃

[@eliobakhos8740]

what do you think man this car is really durable or not ? i am thinking between this one or the mjx 1/16 !

[@Rek_Rc]

I'd say check out the skatepark video and see what you think. Personally I think it's a very durable car especially for the price, but someone else might think it's not. I can say it survived several 30 foot high launches.

[@eliobakhos8740]

@@Rek_Rc wow okay thanks for your reply

@@eliobakhos8740 Thank you for dropping a comment, I really appreciate it.

should i get this or the 124017? i want to mod the car with iron parts so i dont know even if the alluminium frame of the 124017 is better maybe? i dont care abt batteries id put a 3s on both anyway

[@Rek_Rc]

The 124017 is probably more easily modified if I'm being honest. They make great speed run platforms for cheap if you're into that.

[@darider8069]

@@Rek_Rc i dont want it to be fast as hell i need it reliable so that it will hardly break and driving good so idk whick one to go with

[@Youboyg]

i cant decide what will i choose, this wltoys or the hbx 2996a? Thanks mate

[@darider8069]

@@Youboyg take the 124008 its an easy and great started buggy has power drives good and if you get 2x 2000mha batteries you will have a lot of fun for a long time

[@trayburnett2690]

Do you think it will beat the yellow car you have

[@Rek_Rc]

When the yellow car was stock, maybe, but now the yellow can can do on 2s what this car does on 3s, and can do over 60 MPH on 3s now.

[@trayburnett2690]

@@Rek_Rc dang that’s crazy

[@gatotjakatimur3518]

but the chassis is made of plastic. thee older model made of metal

[@Rek_Rc]

The plastic is actually better for bashing. Less breakage or bending

[@murraymadness4674]

@@Rek_Rc Plastic will wear out from scrapes quicker than the aluminum, and you scrap the ground a lot when bashing/jumping.

[@michaelfear4801]

lmao i guess were the fanboys eh,

[@Rek_Rc]

I really didn't like WLtoys for a long time, almost a year, but this car changed my outlook on them.

[@michaelfear4801]

@Rek_Rc this one is my first and I love it, although my spoiler and now stock tower are busted, I got a really early one with no grease, but I guess that's common

[@Rek_Rc]

​@@michaelfear4801 I hope they keep making cars this way. Parts should be pretty easy to find as well, I think many MJX parts would probably fit

[@michaelfear4801]

@Rek_Rc most likely, for my first Wltoys im happy i got this one @reitplace4765 has been a great help with the parts we/i will need forsure pretty sure most of the buggy parts are interchangeable

[@chrisspearline767]

I just ordered the 124007 faster

[@howintesting940]

what's the point using 3s but only achieve such low speed. 124017 uses 2s able to run faster.

[@Rek_Rc]

Yes but if you crash the 124017 at nearly any speed it will break. This one won't. There is more to it than speed.

[@howintesting940]

@@Rek_Rc so better material used? Nothing related to 3s though. Thanks!

[@Rek_Rc]

@@howintesting940 oh it's much slower for sure, but it's also generally cheaper and far more durable, and you can always pop a faster system into the new buggy if you like, especially if you already have one with the faster system in it. Then you'd have satisfying speed, AND reliable durability to go with it.

[@howintesting940]

@@Rek_Rc I have read 10+ reviews of it but no one ever talked about why to use 3s to get a slow speed... what's the point here. No negative comments on your video, but just cannot understand WLtoys 's logic here

[@Rek_Rc]

@@howintesting940 I totally understand, I hadn't taken any offense and I'm thrilled that you watched and commented. I think maybe the 3s battery being included was to help sell the car maybe even market like a hyper go without saying hyper go lol, also I think the lower geared, lower Kv motor eliminates cogging .
