A whole year later and I am not in the least bit disappointed that I finally got one of these, in fact I like it so much, I am ordering another one as soon as the price drops below R2000.00 again. Also glad I waited because mine came with the upgraded red black and silver controller.

Just got this beast the other day. Handles grass very well. If you gun the throttle, its popping a wheelie, and possibly flipping over if you don't ease off a bit. It handles crashes like a tank. I don't do crazy big jumps, but I use it for my dog. He loves chasing it out in the open field. Great exercise for him. As a noob to rc's, I don't notice the delay at all. For the price, this is a steal.

Still the best RC channel on KZfaq! I'm also very surprised that the metal bits almost entirely through the entire car didnt show any signs of bending or breaking after those surprisingly high/far launch ramp airs to flat!

Great Channel ! Funny and informative. And i love how you test these cars.

6:12 is awesome montage. Watched on slow mo and still couldn't figure out how you did this. Awesome!

Very cool! Awesome that its not cogging. For the delay try linking up the 144001 radio to it see if it helps 🙂

Good video mate! Was going to get this as my next RC............... and then the hbx hyper go brushless buggy came out 😂😂😂😂🙏💚👊

Hey man! about the throttle delay, unfortunately its not just the Transmitter Receiver its actually on the ESC as well, I had mine replaced to a RC6GS though it did lessen the delay it was still noticeable, I tried to switch the ESC with a cheap surpass hobby one and the delay was completely gone. The nice thing about the ESC change is it can now go to a super low speed and gracefully transition to higher speeds. I find that the stock ESC seems to "jump" around on the speed. What I mean about that is when you pull the trigger in about 1/4th and you pull it a little more it will go on full throttle as if it can't modulate the speeds properly (I mean its a very durable ESC, waterproof too but it feels like it was meant for speedruns), I hope this info helps! Anyways awesome videos as always!!! hope to see more of your stuff and maaaan, this channel is so underrated :( . Oh and by the way just a tidbit info here: Have you seen one of those HSP/Exceed/Redcat Volcano platform? the super old platform (so old in fact that UltimateRC reviewed it as the Exceed Dynamite from 9yrs ago!) I think Redcat refreshed it as the Redcat Volcano EXP. Now I've seen the kit version from aliexpress being sold as a no-name kit brand with no body shell, electronics and tires. Just search for HSP kit and look for the short course truck version as the monster truck version has some geometry issues with its dogbone. The reason why I'm telling you this is because I think its an extremely cheap RC kit for beginners and not everyone knew about it (because of it being a no name brand) it goes around for as little as 60usd, you can buy 2 of them and use the other one as a complete replacement. I did an estimate and found that I can build the whole kit for less than 130usd if I already have my own transmitter receiver and maybe 145usd if I buy a dumborc combo.

So cool, i ordered it yesterday

Ordered one yesterday...also ordered LC racing L6060 bumper set which is a perfect fit on this car.

It's the fastest rc there is under 200, it's the fastest rtr rc there is under 300 even. It's a good looking car too. For so cheap and so much speed I can't really hold its lack of durability against it ( you had much better luck there than I did) That blue steering wheel also indicates its longer range over the v1. It's basically exactly a shortened 124017 v2. It's good. I liked reviewing mine, but it was destroyed in a drag race with a senton hahahaha. Good work sir, awesome video as always.

Nice job on this vid, I ve been interested in this for a while

144001 In my experience, even if you fill the differentials with vaseline at the very beginning, they still don't last very long. Because it's not proper steel, the gear material, but some kind of zinc alloy. I believe this 144010 model uses same differential parts.. But you can buy stronger parts.

Definitely an entertaining video, cant wait to see it on 3s

Get some of the lc racing bumpers the short course and rally car bumpers work

I find cv joint grease to be the best diff crown wheel lube and I use nulon PTFE assembly lube in the diff .that helps it to bind up just a wee bit as well as it's the best possible lube

I don't know if those pins go all the way through the case. I've checked the old ones and the screws go into the case on one side bypassing the other side as there wider. All in all though the cars rock, great review and bash session.

8:01 awesome 360 (definitely!)

Wow Evan ! That was definitely a freakin great video and awesome bash session! I’ve got the 1/12 buggy that I’ve got to open and unleash soon with the same basic setup electronically speaking. Definitely can’t wait. They are definitely improving their products man! I’m definitely exited for your park test on this! So, most definitely take care brother! 🤣😝👍🏻🍻

I’m looking for a 1/14 buggy. I pretty much want the buggy version of the hbx 16889A pro. Do you think this is it?

Great content, you nearly killed that car with those head on crashes. It is tough until it starts falling apart all at once. I have the longer 1124017 and it’s a great dirt drifter\ racer which is on 3s unbelievably fast especially comparing to its size and price.

Controller upgrade fixed the delay issue. Thought id let u know Incase no1 else had. Love ur videos man. Whats the best site to get cheaper prices on rc's..?

Hey dude, is it possible to change the wheel on the wltoys 144010 to the Monster truck wheel in your other videos?

Evan buddy, the throttle delay is only caused by theis crappy esc. ive tried it with dumbo and flysky fs gt5 and it didn't make any difference. What help a tiny bit is changing neutral range to minimum value (you can use a standard surpass hobby program card to eo that) anyways good job with keeping us entertained frontlip lord ✌️

Man, josiah has completely taken over my 124017. He crashed into a rock and I told him that he can’t do that or things will break. He immediately did it again, but faster and broke the front driveshaft (a arms were upgraded to aluminum)… now he gets to wrench on it 😂. You guys look like you’re having as much fun as we do. I even got momma out there with an Arrma granite vortex and a ramp build underway!

I bought a flysky fsgt5 remote with a $12 3 channel fa-a3 reciever (i used the bs6 reciever that came with it on my embt) and it removed about 90% of the throttle delay...much beter than the stock remote. Im still learning the remote, there may be throttle options to tweak it and make it 0% throttle delay, havnt had much play time because of work but i can guarantee that the throttle delay is minimized with my new remote. This little car is awesome, i lowered it with droop screws, swapped the tires for slightly bigger fc600 tires, lc racing plastic wing, lc racing MT front bumper, Zeee 2s 2200mah and Goldbat 3s 2200mah batteries, greased the diffs with white lithium grease and this little thing flies!

I have this RC and you can fix the delay with the wltoys 124017 v2 remote. I say buy the car as well you'll enjoy that one as well.

laughed so hard i fell off my chair🤣 8:55

Awesome video sir, definitely

I'm convinced. I need one. And will no doubt completely rebuild it with aftermarket crap. But that's what we do. Cheers my friends. Bash on

You guys are great. 👍

Kindly would you help us by letting us know how to switch this WLToys 144010 to 3S. I just got mine based on your video and it works flawlessly on 2S. However, as soon as I put the 3S in it, only the ESC/Fan and steering that work and no throttle or wheel rotation. How do we get it to work on 3S please? Thank you for any feedback and Marry Christmas sir.

man i am so confused if i buy this car Wl 144010 brushless or the Wl habile 124016 brushless what do you advise me wich one is better and durableee !!

Yep you're right they're independent, thanks for sharing Bro ✌️👍

Brilliant video!!! Hope you gave your son some KZfaq money for his staring roll 😆

Hi great video. What kind of grease do you use normally use? Thx!!

mate, why didn't you check the internals of the diffs?i was 1000% that your engineering mastery would check that!!! ( like your son alot!!!he has definitely sense of humor!!) 🙂

Yet to test them out but Rlaarlo seems to wanna grab a piece of their pie. Nice one bro 👌🏾

Hi Evan I’m back to comment on ur vids

New Derby City video, Hell yes!!

That seems pretty darn durable.😊👍👍🤔

They need to make a good 1:8 and 1:10 competitive race buggy, truggy and truck. Id think about switching to them

DEFINITELY! 👊👍💯

My pinon gear keeps coming loose. any advice? Every time I try and tighten it, it seems fine, but then when I run my car it doesn't last more than a min or so before I hear the motor screaming at me!

Hay mate, if you have the wltoys 124016 or the 124017 V2's... Bind that controller with the 010 and it gets rid of the delay !! ) happy rcing buddy !! )

What charger do u use for ur 3s ovonic air batteries

That's bashing and it rips really nice🤙

Are the sand tyres larger height then the ones fitted on these shame about the esc

F….. Sweet!!! Cool jumpin! 😬

Hello. I currently have the wl 144001, I want to level up,. I have a very large garden where I run it since there are no tracks nearby and I was thinking of buying the 144010 or 124007 or 124017 or 124019, which would be in my case the best option, I appreciate your comment. Thank you

I got all the metal upgrades. I've heard the thi g breaks because of the speed

Hey dude, I notice you said you can use an s3 battery. I tied one but didn't work. It's the same brand and 2200mah but my says 50c and is longer. Does 35c and 50c make a difference?

when they say grease the diff they mean take the differental apart to grease the spider gears inside

I have always been curious about those WL Toys RC’s … but I saw them on Temu and thought that they must be shitty… so, I’m going to watch your videos on them and make a better informed decision on those rigs

Love WLtoys! 😄

The car has NO delay the delay is the remote ..pair to a different remote the issue goes away ...if sumbody can send me that delay remote I will be able to work out what's causing the delay

Ah man I love mine but the throttle delay does ruin it a little 😞… I changed the receiver and transmitter and that helped a lot but there’s still something there

Just a heads up. You didnt even grease the diffs brother! The whole point of greasing the WLToys diffs is because they dont ever add any grease INSIDE the diffs. They always grease the outside for the diff/drive shaft gears but that isnt as important as the actual whole point of checking the diffs. The diffs HAVE to be unscrewed and opened up themselves so you can clean and disassemble them because your car wont last and the diffs will grind to hell if you dont pack the inside of the diff casing with grease. Just a heads up.

hello, you put grease in the gear box, but you didn't open the differential and put grease in it.

3s baby,,, yes sir 💯👍

ive got a 144001 for £30 and an a959 for £25, cannot complain

I replaced my Receiver and DEFINITELY cured the throttle delay.

Hook up a hobby wing esc card and change the neutral range

She's a jumper cool

That's what she said 😄

Wltoys Are toys. They could be hobby grade if it wasn't for the crap electronics and subpar metal and plastic which cause too many issues.

10:34 you sure its not cause you wanted another 2,000 views? lol

Looks like it’s a controller issue according to this guys kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aahgjJedp5bUfKM.html

Stop breaking your kids toys

These RC cars have to be the worst ever made you buy it brand new and then you've got to spend 60 on it just to get it to work properly
