[@ReMz10184]

The more I see videos of this, the more I think I need to add one to my WLtoys arsenal. They just seem super durable. I have a two brushless converted 144001s (one for dirt track racing and one for speed runs) and a 124019 that is currently 90% of the way brushless. I would keep a 124018 stock and just basg it and let my dog chase it around 🐕 . Flimsy body shells don't last when he catches them, but that cage looks like it would survive a chomp.

[@rabblerob2757]

I still have my 12428. Your videos on that vehicle ultimately made my mind up on that. Still love it and bash it to no end. I can’t believe how that thing has held up. I also have Redcat gen 7. Those are my only two rc vehicles other than some random toy grades floating around the house for the kids. I’ve had a keen eye on the 124019 and the 018 but couldn’t decide which one to get being that I can’t afford both. I’m so glad y’all made this video. I figured I’d end up getting this one and you guys have pulled through for me again with this video. I’m ordering it now right after I finish this comment. Thank you, bless you and keep being awesome.

Well I relied on your review and you guys were spot on. Most if not all of my RC vehicles are name brand Traxxas and on and on including gas as well as electric. I really didn't expect too much buying this truck well I've got to tell you I was very pleasantly surprised I have bashed the heck out of it and it has been extremely resilient I haven't broke anything yet I can't say that about some of the name brand stuff I have purchased. Thank you for your honest and very accurate description. I can truthfully say the truck is worth the money and probably another 50 to 75 dollars.

Looks like a great beastie! You should also mention that it has a metal chassis! That will make it more durable than just about anything else out there. I also notice that it has independent suspension, unlike the 12428, which has a solid rear axel. Interesting...

[@chrisboone1973]

I just received the WLToys 124016 v2 today. Looks a lot like that desert buggy but it's brushless. I recently grabbed a Flywheeltoys ramp for the Axial SMT10. It works great with my other, smaller RCs, very much including this speedy desert buggy. Not so much the Grave Digger. It's a bit too small to accommodate 1/10 monster trucks very well. But that 124016 v2 is amazing. Stupid fast, gets major air, can take a beating. And did I mention it is fast? I debated the Indy car-looking one (124017), but went with the buggy because I mostly run in grass and dirt, not macadam or pavement. And also because of the canopy. That is as cool as the other side of the pillow, as y'all noted with this one.

You said it yourself. The Granite is twice the price, and it is probably twice the RC. But this is still an amazing RC! You can't go wrong with either one.
