What an epic buggy! It was so close to being Flawless if it had the original transmitter and featured a normal battery instead of the low capacity proprietary battery. I am glad WLTOYS have finally given us a decent release! What do you think? See you on the next one! 💯😎👍

I don't mind that they included the battery that way. The plastic casing makes the battery more impact resistant, and it's very easy to convert it to allow for standard LiPos.

I’m thinking the battery is designed like that for the less experienced users, a normal lipo you need to check all wires are secured whereas this battery design solves this issue. No balance lead getting rubbed by the drive shaft or anything. Obviously they catered for the more experienced users by making it compatible with non modular batteries. In fact, my complaint on this one is still using Deans connectors, xt60 would imho be a better choice.

Supposedly, that new transmitter is backward compatible and will bind to all WLToys vehicles. They finally got it through their heads that the 1420XX models needed to be 1/12 wide was well as the length. The added ground clearance is nice too.

Compatible batteries: I am using the original and aftermarket batteries from 2 of my boats. The Feilun ft012 original batteries which are 1800 mah and Wltoys wl916 original and aftermarket 2200mah batteries. These batteries are the perfect width and you will have room to spare in both length and height. Just use velcro and a bit of packing foam to make it snug. Easy to connect after you you take off the connector casing. PS. I’m using 2200mah 35c batteries I bought for the wl916 boat. Watch out because if you drive all out the motor gets very hot ( as does the battery).

I have been using my 124017 as a speed run car and I am really happy with it. The transmitter for me isn’t a big deal because the first thing I change out of them is the receiver and transmitter because I have all my cars on 1 transmitter for ease. The One thing I would like to see WL toys change is to go to a more readily available gear pitch on their cars. Something like a standard 32 pitch or 48 pitch. It would also be really nice to have an adjustable motor mount standard in the cars

Alright. I'm impressed. They did really good with this. Transmitter sucks ofc. But i dont think someone just getting in would care, most of us watching this video likely already have a Dumbo/Flysky.

bought two for christmas have aready broken both shock towers on one of them which are not very shock resilient after one roll over it split both of them, the stockist doesnt even stock the repolacement shock towers for it, so had to adapt a pair from 140007 the previous model to make them fit. the gear boxes are also devoid of grease on arrival so its a pretty big job to strip them down and put in some lithium grease, not the most impressive RTR car out there in terms of durabili8ty, id keep your money and look for so9mething a bit more bash proof.

Encantado con tu canal y espero que hagas más modificaciones y mejoras de estos modelos baratos, que es lo que la mayoría de nosotros espera y desea, y que al final, es lo más divertido y útil de este hobby.

Does it use M3 or M4 axles? That was my big problem with other WLToys models, the 3mm axles and smaller hexes and pins bend and break too easily. The M4 axles on the MJX Hyper Gos are far tougher, and 4mm ID hexes and chunkier 2mm pins are more common and easy to replace.

I used to race RC's so maybe my view is a little askew, but I don't understand why WLToys is getting heat at all. At this price point you can't beat what they offer, proprietary battery or not. You're absolutely correct on the reasoning, batteries have a HUGE profit margin which is exactly why Traxxas went proprietary. Is their stuff perfect, nah, but you should know that going in. I don't care about a couple of claimed mph when you're paying this little for this quality. WLToys is hardly the only offender here and some of the other brands have bigger names and cost 3 times as much. The controller is hideous, but probably how they kept the cost down. Looks like I'm adding another WLToys vehicle to the inventory.

I just received this car I bought after looking at all the enthusiastic reviews. Sadly the first impressions are not in line with the expectations. In particular I find the throttle response incredibly bad with huge deadzone in both driving and braking directions. Around 50% of the full stroke has no effect and the torque modulation happens in a short amount of travel making fine control impossible. All my other RC cars are brushed so maybe I'm expecting too much from a cheap brushless esc, but at the moment I'm pretty disappointed. It's a shame as in every other aspect the car is magnificent and overall quality is better than expected.
