Looks to me those are 60A ESC or at least the appearance is exactly the same. I came across your video because I just did a quick review of the new release 124017 V3 and need to research wltoys ESC. Very nice review.
My biggest issue is the small battery tray, with all of wltoys and considering the price it's really a no go, you can get ftx rtr and absima under £200 and the build quality is so so much better in every way with much better motors shocks and so on, they imo are a greedy company trying to make as much money as possible and the products are just inferior, they made two pretty good buggies and after that it was all down hill!!! Thanks for your upload 👍🙏🐱
Agreed mate! For £200 there is a lot of better options. This was have done so much better if it was £120-150. The success of the 144001 and A959 has made them popular and now its all about profits not the consumer. Shame really.
You won’t find parts for much of anything at Banggood anymore. They’ve been systematically allowing themselves to run out and not restock anything RC the past couple of years. Hobbyking suffered that same fate. AliExpress currently has replacement and upgrade parts for this model. Also many aftermarket wheel/tire options.
I believe for the price you are paying for this truck and, crossover upgrades that are available across the board for this vehicle, it still beats the name brand price tag; with its upgrades. (if you are that kind of rc owner) I’m a fanboy though. This video has great honest details in the cars workings! For the Ol’ Wltoys cheap price tag that won us all over this truck does come short. Wonderful video!!🙌🏾🙌🏾
We just want head&taillights, standard electronics, 3 wire servo, 540 motor and not this mash-up of crappy parts. If you want a cheap drift/touring car your better of buying absima, or even himoto. But if you can afford the infraction mega, buy that one!
Marmite is a British savoury food spread based on yeast extract, invented by the German scientist Justus von Liebig. It is made from by-products of beer brewing and is produced by the British company Unilever. (wikipedia) Marmite has a very distinctive flavor. The taste is so unique as to defy description, but think of a yeasty, salty, soy sauce-esque flavor with the consistency of old engine oil. Some people really like eating it, and some people don't like eating it at all.
Gotta disagree with you on the Blue wheels Rik. I think they look awesome and give it character. The body is ok but it's just a copy of the UDI RC. Agree with all your other points though. WLToys do need to up their game. They could do so much better.
I absolutely agree with you about this. Too expensive, all the issues you mention, and that fuggly body would put me off completely!! I don't dislike the colours, but that horrible afterthought front grill......!!! 🤷🏻♂️
Those of us in the UK will have to put up with higher prices of everything sold from China. Everything priced in USD so with the GBP on the slide prices will feel unreasonable.

That pricing information was shocking. If those US prices include local State taxes then Horizon Hobby really are price gouging their UK customers with its Arrma products.
@@beyondRC Yep, pretty much! Some of their brands like FMS seem more reasonably priced here but the likes of Arrma, Losi, ProBoat, Spektrum, Pro-Line and Axial are often outrageously overpriced. Their new 4S v2 Kraton and Outcast seem more fairly priced in the UK... even if they're STILL refusing to give a date for when we're getting them!
Nice Video! Yeah, the truck is pretty ugly. The LEDs are just too much. Like a little christmas on wheels 🎄 And I don‘t know what to say about the body itself. Pinecone and UDIRC make better bodys for thier 1/16 scale. But I found some 1/10 scale wheels on Banggood when I checked the price for this truck… 220€ 🥵 even 150€ are too much IMO. I would save some more money a go for a cheap Infraction.
Wltoys are pushing the price a lot!!! For this price is better buy the infraction mega? Wltoys are supposed be the best rc for the price!! Ad least they win a lot fans including me! They make me buy a rc buggy 25 year's after my last purchase And make me feel some hope Finally some company doesn't overprice the toys and everyone can get in the rc hobby Butt doesn't last long It was enough a year being well talk by youtubers and sell well a few rc cars and boommmm the price goes too the moon Ad least if the quality goes side to side with the price but nowhere close of that! Wltoys shame on you

These are NOT good RCs. They are cheap RCs & at £210, that's no longer true. Spend the extra money & buy a well respected brand. You'll save money on running costs & you always have something that is desirable on the secondary market, unlike any WLToys, which are basically worth less than scrap value used.
@@beyondRC perhaps not so unexpected considering the buggy version.? A chassis top deck & a graphic designer who doesn't eat 10lbs of magic mushrooms every day would've helped.. 😂 😂 😂 Why don't RC manufacturers actually ask us what we'd like our RCs to look like.? It's not like they can't get in touch with us... Thank you for doing your videos mate, I've been subbed from the very beginning of your channel when you did a 4S Maverick Strada MT & I'm super impressed with the way you've grown your channel..

You couldn't be more wrong the only thing your correct on is it is a cheaper alternative from the infraction it's an awesome truck I hooked a 3s onittapes utin the bed got to 73mph its well put together nice looking on the inside ifyou shave almost a 1/4 of an I. H from the wheel walks you can run tires from 12423 stadium truck OFF ROAD.. and other configurations..LIGHTS R AWESOME..BIGGEST MISTAKE is arma's MEGA now that's a disaster all that money for 20mph....your to harsh ...dam
Got it for 120 pounds with 8 pound shipping? I think its a good deal
I love it ,I think it looks so incredible,,I want one

I want to get one but your right the body and leds are hideous I like the 124017 and 104002 bodies
I'm actually a fan of only one thing. The graffiti inspired graphics... and that's it.
The only colour I like wltoys did release on his buggys. The purple colour for the 124019 and the truck 124016.
in Asia its around 105$USD and 0,8$USD shipping
Please tell me the wheelbase of this chassis?
And also the track width of the wheels. I would be very grateful!

Agreed.. its almost like wltoys are becoming lazy.. 😎💯👍
Or a Quantum Flux R!
if you want an rc you want to know the bad parts so don't complain every one is different
What’s “Mar-Might”? Never heard of it before.🤷🏻♂️

@@beyondRC Im great thanks bud. How's the new house?
It would be so easy to fab a back brace.
Just watched your video it's alsome mate nice information 👍👌
Thanks mate! 👍
@@beyondRC that's OK 👍 have you checked out my new video on my UA-cam channel.
Also I'm getting a new toy hobao hyper gtb roller can't wait 🤗🙌😊
I've completed my WLToys 104072 custom last week.
@@davesoutdoorsadventures7819 thanks mate well done 👏✔️
I think Arrma Infraction Mega is a LOT better option than this, for me 200 dollar is too much for a Wltoys.
agreed
I absolutely agree with you about this. Too expensive, all the issues you mention, and that fuggly body would put me off completely!! I don't dislike the colours, but that horrible afterthought front grill......!!! 🤷🏻♂️
I know mate! They need to go back to basics! Cheers Rob!

This just means UK Hobbyists will opt for more well known brands like arrma, traxxas etc
I'm sorry, I know my English isn't the best, but I think it's enough for everyone to understand!!!
I understand, but I don't understand what your point is.?
I like the wild colored one
That pricing information was shocking. If those US prices include local State taxes then Horizon Hobby really are price gouging their UK customers with its Arrma products.
yeah its terrible! Everything horizon here is priced way more!

@@sambagogo777 think the new 4s kraton and outcast are due in December!!!
@@beyondRC Yep, that's the expectation the likes of Modelsport have but no actual date has been officially committed to by Arrma.
Totally agree
💯😎👍

Moral to the story,,, Don't waste your Cash😉
something like that haha..
The paint job looks like someone barfed skittles all over it.
Saved me $200+
Well said! (:
Thanks bro!
Unboxing VRX RH818 COBRA
Wltoys are pushing the price a lot!!!
For this price is better buy the infraction mega?
Wltoys are supposed be the best rc for the price!!
Ad least they win a lot fans including me!
They make me buy a rc buggy 25 year's after my last purchase
And make me feel some hope
Finally some company doesn't overprice the toys and everyone can get in the rc hobby
Butt doesn't last long
It was enough a year being well talk by youtubers and sell well a few rc cars and boommmm the price goes too the moon
Ad least if the quality goes side to side with the price but nowhere close of that!
Wltoys shame on you
I think after a year of use an infaction mega is still ok, but a 10472 almost falls apart :)
yup.. 😎👍
I’m first!
Awesome! 😎💯👍

Now on AliExpress 150$
dont think that includes shipping..
In other words it's a piece of... 💩
I know that rlaarlo is THE BRAND (good nice and cheap) but here in Paraguay do not exist
