They are awesome!

Thanks mate. Appreciate the support 😎👌

I really like how it drives! Would love to get it to a track

@@TomleyRC -yeah, some track time would be awesome. I’m building a speed run car out of the buggy.

They are certainly very tuneable! Love the 144 platform

Yes, it's an absolute pleasure to drive! I've stuck some foams on, geared it up a little and will give it a good run 'on road'... love it!

I'm sure you know this Phil, but you can install droop screws on the arms to lower it for speed runs, the holes are already there😎

@@ResurrectionRC Yes, already have them in my 144001 :)

@@TomleyRC -don’t know if you can get them in England, but I’ve just ordered some SpeedTreads Antic Foam SC (DTXC2923) tires. They list as 3 inch OD so your can keep a bigger diameter foam and still gear up.

Thanks mate

I ordered a 1/10 buggy from nitrorcx,its brushed but I don't have tracks or skate parks near me to run on so brushed works for me. It is a fantastic buggy for only like $135. I wrecked it last weekend and there are loads of spare parts that are cheap

@@dennisnothstein1311 nitrorcx, warrenrc, riptiderc all carry parts. Check out RED ROX RC channel. Tacon Bulwalk is one of my favorites.... mine has aluminum hop ups and T bone bumper, wife's is stock and 6yr olds brushed Soar is stock

Warren Rc in Michigan is the main seller for the lc racing version state side. Great people to deal with and they sell it kit version as well with electrics or without

The LC Racing quality is amazing. Enjoy your kit :)

Yes it looks really nice doesn't it :)

@@TomleyRC yh

if you like pug nosed looking trucks its a winner! the handling is REALLY nice tho, and that's what matters. such a short stubby nose like it got smacked with a frying pan lol.

Yes, 3s coming soon!

I don't recommend 3s.... drive train doesn't hold up well. Stripped spur gears, drive cups, diff ring & crown gears strip fairly quickly on 3s... 2s has best speed/torque in my opinion. Front cvds also bend or break under 3s. Granted I was bashing & speed running like a maniac, using proper throttle control goes into account too.....

Lucky Nephew!

@NOTREALLY HANKAARON I can't figure out anywhere what the connector is. It's killing me lol. Ill probably just solder on deans.

@NOTREALLY HANKAARON no way, that's awesome! Thanks for letting me know.

haha...yeah I always jinx it!

@@TomleyRC 🤣🤣🤣🤦

Both really good trucks. The ‘T’ is certainly the better handling, but the MT is more controllable when jumping etc...

Cheers dude

Thanks dude

It's a good little car.... and track!

@@TomleyRC ye I love going there on my mountain bike

@@ethankey5805 it is northhykem Lincoln bmx Park it not for rc cars but I still use it

Yes, these are something else!

My personal favorate is emb-dth the caged buggy/desert truck

haha

I thought the clips were narrow, I had to clip a bit off the side to get the 2s in (A 1500mah ZD Racing one)! Good shout on changing them to WLtoys ones ;) I have a 1800mah Nano tech 3s, and a 1500 40c Zop one... going to see which fits the best.

@@TomleyRC Cheers for that! Im using Zop power 2s 2200mah 35c (well will do when the rain stops) but want to suss out whats the best i can fit! Gotta say thats the one bit of design im not impressed with. Its 2s/3s capable and you cant even fit a std sized 2s without modding it-doh!

I think they are HXT. I made an adaptor as I had 2 of the LC Racing batteries. So sacrificed one for the connector

@@TomleyRC I found one of these on ebay....should do the trick "3.5MM HXT Bullets to T-plug Deans No Wire adapter" just in case anyone else is also trying to figure out which connector will work....

@@andylillicrap9521 Hello, could you pass me the address of the ebay store because I also need that adapter. Thank you

This has much better electronics

2200 would be ideal. This was just a 1500mah one

I managed to fit in a 4500mah shorty pack. Just lay it on its side, raise the front body posts and force the body down in the rear and you're good to go. With 1500mah, I can only get around 8 min. With 4500mah, 15-20 min.

@@Diamondbac Hello, what battery of 4500 do you use in the truggy?

@@virginiahidalgolinan9692 the 4500 is a 60/120c 2s shorty pack with an external case where you plug 5mm wires into. It's actually a bit too big and I have to force the body down. I also run 4200 shorty pack 25c 2s and 2700 short pack 25c 3s both are around the same size fit nicely on their side under the body.

Hello, I understand that if you use LIPO 2S / 3S batteries you have to program the ESC, as you did if you say that it is not programmable, I am worried about that because I buy one of these cars and I want to use it with LIPO 2S batteries

@@WidmanEncarnacionArellano Actually, on closer inspection I think it is programmable as it says so on the box and on the website. It's just I got thrown off because the ESC manual it came with is for another ESC model. I have a Hobbywing program card but just haven't got around to doing it yet. Even with the program card, I'm not sure if you can program it to accept NiMh or LiPo or if you even need to. I run mine as is with 2S Lipo and even LiHv and there has been no problem so far. The only thing is you'll need to change the battery connector on the esc to fit regular lipo packs. In fact, I am able to fit in a shorty 4500mah HiHv pack no problem and get 15-20 min continuous run time. You just need to sit the pack on its side, raise the front body posts and force the body down in the rear. If you wanted to, there is even space to run a regular sized 2s Lipo pack. But then, your left side will be too heavy. That's the advantage of the truggy over the other models: bigger motor and more space.

@@WidmanEncarnacionArellano After taking it to an asphalt track five times, the servo suddenly died for no reason. Maybe i got lemon. Hope others fare better.

North Hykeham mate, probably about an hr or so from you.

@@TomleyRC Cool, I'm sure I've driven either close or through on my many trips to Skegvegas over the years 🤣

MT10 :)

Just like i thought

Its not even bad

Usually just jealous people mate. no other reason to put a dislike really.

I was told by my LBS to not run tires larger than the stock (which are already pretty big!) Anything the same size or smaller should fit since they use standard size hex. I run touring car wheels and this things just grips so much.

@@Diamondbac I'll keep that in mind. Thank you.

A good 20mins on a 1500mah Lipo

@@TomleyRC Thanks so much. That is a great run time. Looks like a good buggy.

I'm not sure. The new 124019 is very similar to this, so it is possible

Usually 1 handed with a GoPro.

@@TomleyRC I'm trying to find my GoPro...used it in quadcopters and then gave them a break...rc cars are expensive, but drones are worse. Now I can't find the bloody thing. I've been using my phone, but trying to figure out how to get good shots like you, as you gave really nice footage. I've thought of wearing the GoPro with a head mount, but that'll make the footage boring, unless I start crouching and laying on the ground, putting my face in front of a vehicle going 30mph.

No, still got more stuff to come from the WLtoys. Have both the new ones coming as well

Yes that looks really good!

They are extremely well built. My friend resurrected a rally version and gave it to me. He had all the parts to build off of a really bashed up chassis that I still use to this day. The differentials still have not been opened, drained, cleaned or anything and this thing has alot of hours on it, despite it being about 5 years old! I only broke the front and rear hub carriers, and have crashed hard into curbs, and walls. The plastics used in these cars are really plyable and have a nylon, but flexible feel to where it absorbs impacts making it superior for r/c. I would rate it close to how rpm products are preferred over aluminum products on certain applications, like control arms. Tacon is my favorite R/C brand and 1/14 scale is very fun. I came from 1/18 scale losi Mini T, mini LST, micro R/C as well. My friend said that him and another friend literally tried destroying the donor rally car which I now own, and they couldn't break it on 2s. 3s was too much for gravel bashing and axles began to break from the tight slipper, so just 2s was perfect. The only piece that broke was the servo. I replaced it with a digital metal gear Savox, custom made mounts, works nice. Highly recommend this brand, I'm thinking about getting the Valor, but I'm liking the EMB-T as well!

@@TomleyRC is a shame they cant put window frame decals on straight.

yes, same battery. I'm guessing it's geared differently. Although I've since seen someone get 30mph on the Nimh?... so not sure if my ESC needed calibrating or not.

The bigger diameter wheels on the monster truck allow for the higher top speeds. Put the monster truck wheels and tires on the truggy and it'll be just as if not faster.

@@drewnewcomb2909 the mt tires are similar size to truggy

@@brandon6984 no they are bigger man, that added diameter makes the difference of 2-3 mph.

@@drewnewcomb2909 What about the size difference of the motor on MT (2838) vs Truggy (2850)? How does that affect top speed?

haha..no worries mate. Lincoln

@@TomleyRC thanks for reply, thats a shame, too far for me, I'm Northampton.

Yes seen that 👌

Made, Losi discontinued the entire 1/14 line.

@@williamperri3437 yup sadly they are all discontinued now 😔 I use a lot of Mini 8ight parts for my Vaterra Kalahari so I have kept an eye on them, first the Mini 8ight was discontinued then they discontinued the Mini 8ight T and I just noticed last month that the Mini 8ight DB was also discontinued. A lot of the guys on Rctech have high hopes that they are just revamping them. But at this point in time it is anyone's guess.

@@williamperri3437 so weird thing the Losi website doesn't show the Mini 8ight T or Mini Eight DB as discontinued but Horizon Hobby does.

I would think so yes 👍

@@TomleyRC i gonna try it i have the mt at the moment and the truggy is on his way hehe

Saving that for a speed run on foams ;)

@@TomleyRC does the system support 3S? How’s the radio and servo?

Decent ;)

@@TomleyRC which do you prefer more, the buggy or the truck?

Yes, it's been out for a few years

Lincoln

@NOTREALLY HANKAARON HXT 3.5mm iirc.

@NOTREALLY HANKAARON no.

Over 50mph on 3s.....I got Tacon version and it's a little monster

@@ricksprings hello, what LIPO battery and what capacity do you use in the heel value

@@virginiahidalgolinan9692 Gens Ace 2s 2200mah 50c & Gens Ace 3s 2200mah 50c batteries. They're on larger side, but fit fine👍🏾

Either, but the Truggy gets my vote

It reminds me of a water-skiing boat. I actually don't mind it.

Yeah, a little, but plenty of punch. I've geared it up now, so should be a little better

@@TomleyRC great stuff we will all be looking forward to seeing that. Keep up with the great reviews.👍

on a shorter track quickness can beat top speed too tho.

Look out for black Friday deals. I picked one up in kit form on the 11/11 sale aliexpress. Got it for £102.00. No electronics though, but who needs another transmitter!!!!

Yeah possibly. Banggood told me the next batch will have Lipos.. so fingers crossed!

Yep...the quality is awesome!

You have to upgrade everything on that this is basically one and done. $200 is hard to beat.

Yeah it’s not expensive when you look at the stock equipment

And still after all that it still won't perform as good as an lc ...the wl wl is a tribute band alright but not as good as the real thing!

Well Mr Holt, it's actually 'Lithium-ion Polymer', So the correct term is 'Lye-po'... as the 'i' is for 'ion' and not the 'i' in Lithium 😜
