Love ya T-shirt!!

I pre-ordered this buggy about 2 weeks back. I can’t wait to try it out. Looks awesome. There are rumors that later in the year they may release a brushless version but I can’t wait that long. Stay safe out there. 🏎

Love seeing you guys hit the track! Looks like it was pretty good out of the box. Awesome that you guys got it sent to you. Can't wait for more!

I love the fact that your wife is just as into RC's as you. It's always cool to see a couple doing things together. Keep up the good work.

I love how they're driving it on the dirt track when the car comes with carpet tires. Dude's not doing half bad, either! Smooth and patient!

The second time Joe picked up the car it was absolute carnage on that track, those guys are nuts 😂😂

Fantastic video you two. It sounds like it could be a great budget base to start with. Looking forward to getting mine soon. 👍🏻👍🏻 Keep up the great vids

Awesome video guys! very entertaining 👌 thanks for clearing up the motor issue for everyone now we are all just waiting for ours to arrive🤞they look awesome 🙌

This video was EPIC!!! I’ve been waiting for so long!!

Excited for you about the Tekno on hold👏

Love this channel

I was so excited to see you had one that I preordered it off your link with your discount code. Def not bad value for a buggy this big tho I do hope it lives up to the rep of its smaller sibs.

great first run of the Wltoys 104001 . very informative video, i subscribed to your channel

Thank you for another awesome video. Both informative and fun.

Was really interesting seeing that little snippet of Hong Kong life. It's a place I've always fancied visiting, although it sounds like HK as we know it may have gone forever now. I hope we see more in future videos!

Great raceday! Fun little buggar, the buggys are like gliders when they jump, really cool looking how they fly! Looking forward to the race against the little brother(019). Amber is just killing it on the throttle, not so timid on the racetrack anymore, cheers lady!!

Great initial review! I’ve been hesitant to buy any WLTOYS because I was waiting for this to launch. For now I’ve been bashing some BEZGAR trucks at my local skate parks.

Love the review! And completely agree with the centre gear, it should of came with a slipper as this car is more comp oriented which means lower turn brushless motors (alot of sudden torque) for spec racing but then again, this is their first 1/10 that they have made (at least to my memory) so hopefully they make some revisions.

Great vid guys. Love the content. Can't wait to see a speed run

Nice choice with the tekno!!! 😊🤙

For the price it's not that bad. Definitely needs better tires and a center diff would be nice. I just now ordered the Aarma Typhon 3s blx, I think I will be ok lol. Great video and thanks for sharing 👍

Great video guys! It looks like a decent buggy for the money and I love that track! 😍

Awesome! Love these WL buggies. Being a Tamiya fan I find it incredible that these WL's come so much cheaper with much more durability than the far more expensive Tamiya.

That did a lot better on the track than I thought it would.

Great videoes!! It's fun to follow you guys. Keep it up👍🏻. But why are you in Hong Kong?

AliExpress have 10 day delivery on a lot of things to the UK now. Yeah, would love a centre diff on this. Thanks for the vid.

Cheers both great run great car ✌

RCKiwiis do it again..... love you guys nailed it as usual 👋👋👋👋

I agree with metal part upgrades. Adds weight and you just move the week point down the line. I agree with parts. I am in Canada and I ordered some parts for my 124018 which I really like. It's your review that made me buy it. But considering the price I paid for the buggy and the parts I am not complaining.

Love the content, I have only one comment though: all the times you mentioned "metal" it sounds like "middle" and it is a bit confusing. Aside from that, thank you both for the entertainment!

Can 100 percent see how much you are improving well done pal another cracking video guys

I doubt they'll do it but it would be super smart for WlToys to release this as a roller as well as RTR. A lot of guys (including me) are going to rip out all the factory electronics and replace them before we even put the first lipo in it. Ive already got a plan to make this the car I use to get the feel for a new track before I start running my expensive stuff. Hopefully someone in the US will become a major distributor and make this car and other WlToys models more readily available for the US consumer. I can definitely see this being a killer way to get kids and people new to RC into racing for a reasonable price, where low-priced electronics upgrades will have huge positive impacts in performance and lap times. The factory setup, if it carries over from the 144001 and 124018 will be underpowered on this heavier chassis and the shocks clearly needed thicker fluid or to be filled properly. The car was bouncing all over and making handling extremely unpredictable. The front tires look like some carpet tires I've seen, seems like a strange choice by WlToys. Buggy tires are cheap as can be however, so that will be easy enough to change out. Im looking forward to this being released and some smaller KZfaqrs getting them. Many RC models have issues with QC or engineering flaws in the first production run, I'm curious what kind of problems, if any, I can expect to have with a new 104001. I have a 144001 and it is a solid RC for what it is, it was very close in performance to my Losi Mini 8ight buggy. At least in a drag race, anyway. Cornering and handling on a track was no contest, the 144001 obviously wasn't quite up to the performance of a name-brand brushless model. I never expected it to be and I'm still quite happy with my 144001.

Watching from Japan and still slow post not that far, can’t wait for the speed runs 👊🏻👍🏻

one pro: it looks awesome. One Con: i dont have one yet

Let’s see this!!

Nice video guys, enjoyed that! The buggy looks good and pretty capable even out of the box, but as you say you can always (hopefully) upgrade later. Being in the UK I know about wait times for parts, it takes about 3 weeks or so for parts to arrive from Hong Kong, unless I pay a huge amount extra for priority postage, and that's too expensive. It'll be interesting to see what spares/upgrade availability is going to be like, so I think I'll wait for a few months before taking the plunge. Again, great video guys! I got here via RC Kicks by the way, shout out to Gav!!

Pros: It's 1/10th scale and better hardware (assuming it does have that, like you said). Con: I'm disappointed that this one doesn't come with chassis brace. The chassis flex is excessive even for a bashing car. If I was getting one right now to get back into the hobby, I'd grab a 124019. I'm not a racer, so the 1/12th scale is fine. I'd check back in six months or a year and see if hop-ups are available for the 104001 - if they are (especially a chassis brace), then I'd grab one.

axial makes a 540 brushed 15×2 motor that will blow the rpm gauge off that 550 your using for around $20 dollars usa. the 550 is only used for endurance, it has a little tork but not like a 15×2 540 brushed. traxxas uses the 550 standard also---- junk. the 15×2 brushed will handle 3s for many minutes of abuse. good video.

Bro you are a tank 💪💪

Looks like it could be decent with better tires. Hopefully the BC5 slipper fits. Great review thanks!

Great vid, car looks like a cool racing platform. Good luck with your planned trip to Aotearoa :)

Oh my gosh, Wltoys keeps doing it!!!! They keep getting bigger and bigger! Waiting until the day they come out with a 1/5 scale RC car! Wouldn't be surprised if they did! :D

Thanks for the vídeo. Moves very well but it seems a bit slow, i ordered one yesterday. What About a speed run vídeo? Thanks.

I had an RC10 as a kid in the 80s and it was around 230 without electronics. This is incredibly better and way cheaper.

I will be happy if they sell it as a roller option without electronics for 100$

Looks great!! Do you like this one or the purple smaller one better?

Great video as per ussual. I would love to see a slipper clutch on it as well. Looks like XK is listening and responding. I hope they keep improving. I would like to see a bit more attention to QC and consistency. But yeah for the price they are pretty hard to overlook. Nice Job Kiwis killing it!!...just my opinion

Nice, guys! You actually answered all my questions as I was typing them 😎 I do wonder if it's sturdy enough though. My 124019 falls apart when you look at it but I would love this one as a roller and put in race worthy motor and esc. Worth it or rather invest in a tried and true (and expensive) platform?

I love the smell and sound of nitro as long as I don't have to work on it :D

It held its own out there pretty well

thank you for helping me introduce my 10 year old daughter to this hobby

RC kicks sent me ! Subscribed looks like it could shake up the racing market with a few hop ups 👍

Good job Team RC Kiwis!

Ooooshhh mean bro..awesome

IF you used proper tires for that track, upgraded the suspension, faster servo, made it brushless, add a center diff, made it lighter it still wouldn't be good on a track. but for a parking lot basher it's probably OK.

I like mine.... So many people have way too much hate for this thing....

I really love your channel and in this video your big lebowski “the dude” quote shirt👍🏻👍🏻😎

Pro. Adjustable motor mount for gearing. Con (my opinion) it’s a buggy 😂. I like buggies but I’m a trophy truck person. That track looks awesome and OH do I miss the smell of running my nitros but don’t miss the loud annoying sound lol. Are local track is electric only and no sound boxes either. Doesn’t bother me 1 bit. Ps Joe if amber wouldn’t of lost it just before the last turn o think amber would of beat your time 😉 Again thank you both for another great video.

Another great video from you guys as per, For a beginner would you recommend this buggy or the 12th scale version?

I prefer the 124019 for the price and stability if you stretch it to much it just will flex. A center gear is another wear item. Overall it's a toy grade RC so do expect components to last long.

You guys are great and i love tgat track 👏 would love to take my WLtoys 124019 (the purple one) to a track like that in the UK. Take Care Jenny x

for the price and since i am in the US i think i will more thank likely order 2 that way i have extra parts laying around. love the videos

Nice one. Do you have a page with all your lap results from all the RC cars you've tested at the track?

Woww... spettacolare...gran bel modello...nice video... ciao dall'Italia

A quick / cheap/ easy performance upgrade change the wheels.

Great vid once again 👏!!can you do reviews on the lc racing range of rc?

The number one pro i see is the upgrade abilty. I've already recieved the brushless system i'm going to be using. The con has to be the chassis. I'll have to refraine from taking it where i take my Typhon 4s tank.

Guys I need you to make a decision for me. Wltoys 144001/124019/or this car? Trying to get my niece and dad something cheap to run around with me and I know my dad likes playing with the gearing and would probably go brushless at some point so which car would you advise? Not sure which has the most upgrade potential or which would be best for dirt bashing/asphalt drifting but that’s mainly what we do, thanks for any words of wisdom 🍻

Was moving to HK a strategic move to get first-in-line access to new RC releases?

Would love to know what brushless system you guys put in, once you have it up and running.

How many batteries where used to make this video? Great spotlight as to what this buggy was designed for

New sub here love your guys vids! How are parts availability for wltoys? This would be my first one, really like it but worried about parts. 💯👊🏻✌🏻

Love your Videos! You guys are cool!! You guys should review buggies like tlr 8ight x, mugen seiki mbx8, kyosho mp10, xray xb8. You might be surprised :D

Looks like there was 0 oil in rear shocks. Rear quite bouncy.

i want to see it on the road, hard to judge from track although nice to watch.

Very nice buggy they really are bringing out great RCs

Hi guys My only concern is so will bring a brush less version out ? Do you have any insider info about this ?. Thanks guys great videos👍👍👍👍

Joe's about to be eaten by an 8th scale nitro buggy! Run little fella, RUN! 😁

Thanks for the video. To be honest I was little disappointed with its "in air" stability. I hoped for good balance because of 1/10 scale and lots of space inside but it always dive with front axle. Same as mine 124018.

Thanks for this nice review. Smaller WLToys where a bit on the heavy side. Is it the case with this 1/10 ?

Nice Professional Video. Great rewiev. Love the Looks this car has. Flex is good at track i believe ? This car looks handling the track very very well. The Huge Nitro Cars did need some stress drive faster than this cheap rc car :) Actually amazing how well this car does at that track . This must be beginners best RC Car at low budget i believe after seen both videos you done. Also a fun cheap back up car to others who already own a expensive racer i believe,. Last time i went out drive my Professional rc car , my servo got issue. Not fun. just pack and go home again. I wish i had one of my other cars with me. Just have something to drive with before go home for nothing . This is cheap car , and light weight. easy to carry and have with the other car. Just like back up atleast. Its always risky go out drive only one car, you maybe crash, or something fails, Because of this it is great have back up ride with you. Then you can atleast drive something than nothing if something fails. And not all can have two expensive rigs. So i believe this can be fun back up car to many who already own a professional rc car maybe. Because it looks fun, ok handling, and it is dirt cheap. Thank you RC Kiwis for this great review. Looking forward to see this car go Brushless . Sorry my bad English,. i live in Scandinavia :) Take care, and have a great weekend Amber and Joe

Which better choice for control, jump and stable between 1240019 or 104001

i missed the part about the motor? you put your own brushed motor in? yes this seems like a great buggy.. maybe lc racing slipper can be made to be installed in it..

what in your opinion is the best options for a back yard buget basher ? larger then a 1/16 and brushless...

They need to start doing monster trucks

Please could you tell me the measurement between the front and rear wheel? thanks and greetings from Spain

Take it out in the dirt see if the esc lasts longer than a day. The ones in my 124019 and 18 both went out in a few runs

I wouldn’t worry to much about durability these wltoy models are solid if you get hit by one feels like a damn Kraton. They are solid durable cars with many upgrades. They are lc racing cars but RTR that’s the only difference and all you need is a few lc upgrades and you will be ready to compete at any track.

Really enjoyed this vid! Keep it up 🤙🏼

Number says 10th scale, 4wd style 001.

i saw some pictures on another video that showed one painted purple and green i wonder if thats the planned brushless one?

0:28 we crawl We are babies

15k subs! Wow guys! 👍👍👍

Does anyone make an option for hex screws instead of the factory Phillips screws?

buen trabajo kiwis.es una tentacion por el precio, pero el 144001 se me estropearon los vasos enseguida. deberian mejorar los materiales y ofrecer version brushless. gracias.

I worry without a center diff the gears are going to break teeth off. I happened with a my redcat blackouts with no center diff!

Can a standard sized lipo fit in the stock set up, or could you make one fit?

Yeah cool cool cool track we don’t have anything within 100 miles not like that👍

I really wanna know what those tekno eb48 2.0's are like for bashing. I've seen a couple people doing it. I would love to see a video on that and or comparing it to an arrma typhon 6s
