It has been A LONG TIME since we have found a budget rc car that we LOVE! Here it is: the WLtoys 124919 rc car buggy! This is a ready to run rc car with 4wd. Our only issue we had while running was a bad battery strap that is easily fixable. We LOVED everything else and cannot wait to run this more! Let us know your thoughts on this rc car in the comments!

One thing with this buggy & the desert truck that people have recommended too fix is the shock oil is a bit overfilled on two shocks usually that are stiffer then the others. (gets a sort of hydro lock situation where its suddenly a very harsh stop in it's travel. It's an easy fix though, empty out a little bit of it & then press the shock about half way down as you fill it up again & seal it back up.) So it's really stiff & the diffs don't have enough or any grease in them. The wheelnut thing on the older 144001 was fixed already nearly the same month by getting longer shafts with more thread on them during production, so it actually goes through the wheelnut the same as this new version. And scale wise this is 1:14th scale still it's a longer chassis similar too the lc racing 1:14th scale short course truck & desert buggy.

Just a heads up. WLToys naming scheme uses the first two digits as the scale. 12428 is 1/12 scale, same as this one. 10428 is their 1/10 scale version of the 12428, etc... Great video guys! I get that feeling every time I bring out my 12428 that I've now upgraded to brushless. But this little buggy really screams for a brushed motor.

@matthewcopeland4441 3 жыл бұрын

This car is the same as the 144001, just with an extended wheelbase-longer chassis, center driveshaft, and chassis brace. They share the majority of the other parts. They’re both wonderful cars!

@FarrellMcGovern 3 жыл бұрын

Just bought this for my 9 year old kid. He loves jumping it. He broke the wing off within the second run, but it is built really strong. Love the aluminum shocks and chassis. FYI, if you look ahead of the car by about 10-15 ft you can do course corrections smoother, so that you can hit that ramp nice and fast. Also if you have a 3d printer or wish to buy one, I designed and printed a battery lock that gets locked into the chassis with dowels. Haven’t lost the battery since.

Nate! Do you “really like it?!?!?” 😂😂👍🏻. Just to be clear, it’s the same as the 144001 except it’s longer. Same diffs , suspension, shock towers, etc. the chassis, drive shaft and upper brace is longer. That’s all. And these diffs are shimmed to help prevent them from stripping , which was a problem with the 144001. If you keep it, I highly recommend you open both diffs and grease them. Have fun!!!

@@TheRcSaylors I watched that landing a couple times at .25 speed. Freeze framed it on impact. Lol. That wheel is bent out about 45 degrees in the front. Hard impact. I’m by no means experienced at jumps, but observant. From watching videos and the limited jumping I have done, I’m convinced it’s all in the landing. When I first got my 144001, I watched two videos from a guy in an RC Facebook group complaining that every time out he was replacing the front swing arm or C hub. He was landing heavily throttle on the front wheels. Often wedging into a rock or ditch while still powering the drive train. I’ve replaced mine once after hitting a steel lamp post cruise around 3/4 speed at the Port of Ashland.
