WLTOYS 124019 First Drive Test Review & Speed Run on 2S Lipo

[@druscanam]

Respect to Wltoys for making accurate claims 👍🏻

[@PERTHWESTOZRC]

Hey Andrew i agree man, good to see a true speed that's advertised in the specs for a change hey! usually companies exaggerate it by about 10+kph

[@druscanam]

@@PERTHWESTOZRC I always like the attitude of if it's 10-15k/k shy of its top speed with the provided 2S battery, the manufacturer "must" mean you need a 3S to achieve its claimed top speed therefore if the motor burns up on 3S hitting those speeds then its the manufacturs fault for claiming those speeds only achievable on 3S 😂😂😂😂😂

[@sbrc8725]

Great idea sticking the antenna out of the top👍👍

Cheers mate, and thanks for watching👍🍻

[@PERTHWESTOZRC]

Yeah its awesome,I've converted it to brushless now and it flies 👍😎, cheers for watching Jorge

[@andrataylor6070]

Very fast, now I got the bigger brother to 124019...124017 is brushless, and lot faster, plus I pus a 3s lipo battery on the 124017

TC 6:15 Scooter tries to regain manhood lost the the WLTOYS 124019 on the first go ... sadly a toss for the hometeam.

[@tomw5573]

Awesome, that longer wheelbase looks like it makes a big difference to how it handles compared to the 144001. Good speed too, but no surprises there. Great work getting these vids out quick, yours is the first content I've seen on this model.

[@PERTHWESTOZRC]

Yeah its slightly heaver weight and long wheel base over the 144001 sure makes a different in handling bro, cheers for your support mate 👍🍻🇦🇺

[@alanawth]

Still no drop test and didn’t comment on how much play in the arms, anyway it looks quite bouncy off-road

[@tomw5573]

@@alanawth I wouldn't expect it to be much less bouncy off-road than the 144001, the size and weight difference doesn't look to be enough to improve off road handling that much.

Thanks very much for tuning in and commenting Mike, I appreciate it my friend! Have a good day brother👍😎🍻

[@RileyBanksWho]

Some advice for all 144 and 124 owners: - Check diffs and put differential grease in them - Refill shocks with 1000cps (60 weight shock oil). I used Traxxas brand - Buy 2 spare diffs (trust me, you wanna do this) -Buy metal wheel nuts -Buy offroad tires from aliexpress for more grip (they cost about $10 for a set) A CHEAP 2600mAh battery will run for about 5~8 minutes. An A brand 5000-5500mAh battery will run for about 25~30 minutes. Also, if you currently own a 144001, you can convert it to a 124019 once the spare chassis, center driveshaft and chassis bridge go online ;) Have fun!

[@darkki94]

OMG , thank you , i was looking online what oil to put into the shocks of my 124018 since mine are too soft ( my first RC ever ) , about the off-road tires i was thinking about putting tires from 12428 model on it, would you recommend ?

[@radiocontrolled9181]

Nice video mate :-) Regarding the antenna hack, it is already in an almost vertical position in the handle and remember that plastic is invisible to 2.4GHz radio waves, so it is like there is no plastic. I don't think it makes a big difference. If it were placed horizontally in the transmitter from the factory and you changed it to vertical, then yes you would see the difference. But as I said, the antenna is already almost verical in the handle. The most important thing for maximum range is to position BOTH the transmitter antenna and the car antenna as vertically as possible, so they will be omnidirectional and not depending on where they are pointing at. Cheers and stay safe mate!

[@PERTHWESTOZRC]

Cheers for watching mate, I just always expose the antennas anyways so its higher on the tx, no harm in trying to get more range especially since it takes no time to do it.. Its helped me get better range on other RC's in the past on drones etc when antennas are tucked well inside the tx 👍 have a good weekend mate

[@jonoedwards4195]

Stick a WRX shell on it! Oh Yeeaaa! WLtoys are like the Kid in junior high selling Leaf , gettin Us hooked on dis Sheeee,,,

i wanted to order the 124018 because of the cooler body but 23 were preordered on banggood and it says they are sold out, meanwhile there is over 100 preorders for this one and they arent out of stock, kinda mad at that, glad that even though these look to have the same electronics as the 12428 it has different gearing to actually go the claimed speed

I like the layout of all the stuff on the chassis. It looks like aside from the layout the ESC and chassis length everything else is the same. It will be interesting to see what it’s running for a spur and pinion. Thanks buddy! Have a great day and be safe out there!

[@RDsRCReviews]

So refurbishing to see a manufacturer being honest about the top speed! This one looks great. You think we can go brushless with it? It seems better than the 144001. I'm getting it from BG though I doubt it'll bet here until December.

[@PERTHWESTOZRC]

Yeah WLtoys was correct on the 144001 top speed as well as I just got under 60kph when I tested it last year. Yeah you can go brushless on this Ryan, I will be once I receive some servos and receivers in the mail, thanks for watching

Can it handle off-road & jumps❓

[@philipgrobler7253]

Do you have the plastic chassis, because the complaint from Tomley RC is that the links in the driveshaft of the 104002 pops out very easily if the chassis flexes just a little bit ...

[@PERTHWESTOZRC]

This 124019 doesn’t flex like the larger 104002

Hi Jessica, I was going to try 3s on it the other day but I been hearing this esc is the same as the series 3 esc as that of the 144001 that is being produced now and apparently they pop as soon as you connect a 3s to them. As far as the diffs they are the exact same as the 144001

It came with the same ESC which is branded with a XK 60amp silver label. I had not seen this ESC on any previous videos of the 144001 but I have seen it on the newly released 124019.
