it seems like EVERYONE is buyingThe WLToys 124017 and 124016, but why? These budget bashers are certainly cheap, but are they any good? In this video, we but the brushless motor RC buggies head to head and find out what's what. We all know and love the WLToys 144001, and the following behind them, but now there is a brushless version of the iconic big brother, the 124018. 2021 has been a great year for WLToys, and Im exited to have an exclusive first look at these RC cars. Lets take them out for a speedrun, take them around the track and give them a good bashing. Is it a good platform to upgrade? All these questions and more on this episode of 10th scale garage.

Wltoys making the hobby more accessible to everyone loving it 😍 best value car brand we’ve had in a while

I was rolling through the mll with my girlfriend a few days ago, and stumbled on a weird little electronic toy shop. It had a lot of power wheels, toy grade rc cars, and in one corner there was a bunch of wltoys stuff. I had never seen or heard of this brand before. After picking one up and looking at it, it looked like it had decent build quality for the price. The guy was asking 220, and I figured I'd look them up for some reviews. Little did I know they were actually even cheaper online. For $150, There's no way this truck can disappoint me. My 124016 v2 gets here tomorrow and I can't wait to bash it.

Had a recent experience where one of the many ‘gool rc’ escs that I’ve ordered had the same issue with cogging, and then take off. 100% a cheap esc problem. Ordered another 60a banggood esc and it fixed the issue. My money is on the ESC for the cogging! Great upload btw; always a good day when you guys release new content

My favourite is the 124018, when I heard the 124016 was being released I got the brushed in anticipation to start a 1/10 rally cross build with the kamtec CITROEN SAXO body , you know selecting wheels ,making custom body mounts and painting the shell so soon as the brushless came out I'd have the parts ready to swap over , then it got delayed, then I see all the vids of the new ones cogging and in the six months waiting and ripping the 124018 I just haven't had a problem or the need to upgrade so I've bought 3x 124018s now to make into rally cross cars and if I do have to swap out parts eventually then I'll go brushless because a new set of brushless components are cheeper than the price difference of the old and new plus it's parts of my choosing but yeah I love these rigs and what you can do with them, a proper versatile chassis 👍

#brushedmotorsmatter! Nice! Keep in mind though, you’ll have to swap out all the electronics, so you can put any system in there that you want. It doesn’t have to be the one that everyone is complaining about.

I recently got my wltoys 12401 7 and I put a better transmitter (a dumbo transmitter) and the clogging went away and it went 41 on the road and I think about 25 on grass but there both really cool and on 3s they should go faster

I have one of the 124018 with the brushed motor. Its a reliable ripper with plenty of power for bashing around. I thought about taking it brushless, but after seeing all the cogging issues I'm gonna leave it be.

@10thScaleGarage 2 жыл бұрын

I think the cogging is due to the receiver/ transmitter. I don’t think it’s a symptom of the brushless system itself. I’m totally confident that if you threw a brushless system in it, you’d be fine…. Seeing as you’d have to replace all the other electronics as well.

@whitecompany18 2 жыл бұрын

Same here I'm happy with the brushed as it's so cheap now the brushless is available ,I got 3 124018s at £78 each with 3 batteries and it's only £65 to make it brushless with a cheap but good kit ...But until mind bust I'm happy brushed with what I'm using them for 👍

i converted my 124018 to brushless recently and it's amazing, i went with a 3650 motor on a stock gearing and it's fine , also the gyro helps a lot , the whole conversion was about 90$

@riftur7636 11 ай бұрын

There is 1 major issue I found with all 4 of my WLtoys models. The front tires have way to much wiggle in them. its hard to notice when using them off-road, but it is very noticeable when doing speed runs on the street. I will say this, if it wasnt for the price of their buggies, I would have never gotten back into RC cars/trucks again. I used to run nitro trucks/cars in the late 90's early 2000's.

Did you guys have any of the cogging issues other reviews have mentioned? Also do you think 4MPH is worth the price difference?

@10thScaleGarage 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, you can kinda see it clogging, but that’s gotta be down to the transmitter/ receiver. I mentioned that the throttle is almost like an on/off switch. You’ll definitely get coffin in grass, but on road/ dirt, it’s not a problem…. At least with ours. Is 4mph alone worth the difference? No, but getting a 3 wire servo, as well as a traditional ESC and receiver rather than a combo is totally worth it.
