We brought one in kit form for my eldest boy's first RC build. So good I brought another for myself. With the kit you get sway bars with it and coated shocks. Thanks for the review.
I just finished converting my 144001 to Surpass hobby 60A brushless kit. It made 51.4 mph with stock 1500mAh 2S lipo at only 8.2V charge level. With stock wheels and gearing. Also made 3D printed magnetic body mounts and stainless top chassis deck without the step to fit thicker battery used A979B body to fit the ESC. And replaced hubs with aluminum hubs and hub carriers. Got the thicker shock towers. And got Dumbo rc radio with gyro. I like it very much now and it is capable to 3S 😁
In the states these are sold by NitroRCX as the Tacon Bulwark...picked one up as I already have a fleet of the 1/14 Tacons (a couple Thrillers and a Valor) and it's by far my favorite of the bunch. The stability, the speed, the metal bits everywhere. Fantastic product. Your review pretty much sums it up. Can't recommend the EMB-T/Bulwark enough.
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

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
I'm so glad you reviewed this before 'Mr Tumble Wumble' and gave it an honest review. I have one of these and love it. I've also converted my 144001 to a mini truggy using the LC truggy parts. They are brilliant little truggies and take a shed load of abuse. Top video 😎👍🏽
@@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.
Glad to see this video and glad to see you love it! I got the Pro kit version, and the LC12B1, and love them both. Have loads of gear and plans for them both! LC is def on my love list. With the 19t pinion and 2s, the truggy hits nearly 42mph! 57.9 on 3s! Great cars! Can’t wait to see what you do with them! You drive better than me!
I’ve ran hundreds of batteries through mine, both 2s and 3s and the only durability issues I’ve ran into are the axles bending. And I think I’ve don’t a diff or 2 but I also run paddles on it sometimes which puts a high load on the rear diff. Highly recommend this car
What a big load of fun to watch this awesome truggy on that slide-gravel track! Pro review with some soul, Tomley! I put that thing right on my list and added a sub to your channel! ;-)
In my humble opinion the best basher the lc racing makes is the sct emb dessert truck with the plastic chassis version and the kamtec sct body shell. I've beat the crap out of it for past 3 years on upgraded electrics .. You need slight play in them for stability as if you take the play out of the wheels they can get very twitchy unless you carpet racing them,then you want to tighten things up a little 👍👍 I got 5 lc's and love them 👍👍
Okay, Okay, Enough! You talked me into it! I decided to get the kit version. I haven't built a kit from the ground up in ages. I also ordered the monster truck tires for the added ground clearance. Since I wasn't able to use your affiliate link I'll just have to buy you a cup of coffee. Don't forget to directly compare the WL Toys 144001 as well as that purple one with these. Quite a few seem to write off the LC because of the higher price with some parts looking near identical, not realizing it is of a different caliber. Room for both but anyone that plans to go brushless from the start would be better served by the LC... Unless they wanna speed run for high UA-cam views :-)
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.....
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.
Nice driving Phil. I bought the Kamtec shell for the LC Racing EMB-SC hoping it would fit my WLToys 144001 but's it's longer. No use to me so let me know if you want it as it'll fit your new toy
Put that wing on my 144001 really helped with high speed stability. Nice truck. I suspect they ship with those batteries as some countries get runny with Li-on and Li-po batteries. Wish they would standardize on one battery connector though (xt60.... Was what we standardized to in nerf till the xt30 came out, so i have lots of xt60 2s and 3s lipo packs....)
I just bought one! You didn't show the hidden jem: the upgraded radio from Batan to FLYSKY. Now it's got FS-G4P radio and a FS-R4P receiver. 4 channels! I can run leds! I am pleasantly surprised about the quality. The thing feels heavier than i expected because of the hefty aluminium chassis. Rear's wheels are already toed in, front out, camber positive. I put in a ws lipo and some touring wheels and it's got suberb control. The esc manual does not apply to the one in the car. It got my hopes up because the manual says the esc is programmable. There were some binding issues with mine. The diff covers were too tight and it would rub against the diff and make a noise and slow down the vehicle. Loosening the outside bolts on both front and rear diff covers fixed this. Haven't bashed it like yours yet though. I enjoy all your reviews. They are uploaded fast and the selection is good.
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.
Sweet-got mine yesterday! Been raining since i changed the tray and battery so no real use yet, but 5 mins on a wet road and i can tell it is so much better than its clone. For a start the tyres are better in the wet than the 144001 in the dry. Can you show what lipo you are using especially when you go 3s. Had to swap out the battery tray to get my 2s to fit, and my 3s wont fit at all, not enough height available. The 144001 battery guides are wider and fit perfectly allowing a wider battery than the std tray, but still not enough for my 3s.
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!
My EMB MT arrived 2 days ago - its great! what lipo are you using? the connector is so odd....do you have an adapter to switch between a lipo and the stock battery?
@@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....
Great review! I am basically new in this hobby and found your channel while looking for my first RC and your videos helped me A LOT! I have been looking for Wltoys 14001/124019 then after watching your videos changed my mind and decided to go for LC Racing instead. But I am still quite confused about choosing between EMB-T and EMB-MT. Based on banggood, they are exactly the same but I remember you saying T has a longer wheelbase therefore is more stable. I am not looking for the fastest car out there but instead the one capable of bashing and some easy off-roading. Which one do you suggest? Do you think putting a larger set of tires to T can get me the ground clearence of MT and make T off-road capable or will it just fry the ESC?
Man that thing is by far one of the best performing and good looking truggy. Thanks for sharing my friend😊 So what size 2s would you suggest a 2200mah looks like it would be a good fit?
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.
@@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.
@Bill Perri 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.
hi tomley, i just bought a lc racing emb-1h which has the same engine as this emb-t, but batteries and chargers are not included in the purchase, could you link me some batteries with that type of plug and a charger? because it is a difficult plug to find on the internet. thank you so much
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 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.
Did you manage to find out the reason for the difference in speed between the Truggy and the MT? Motor is supposed to be bigger on the truggy (2850 vs 2838) but car is also heavier? Assume you used the same battery in both tests?
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.
Hello, Tomley RC, if I wanted to change the wheels on this rc or a 1/14 scale in-general, what size would I look/ask for. Asking as I am somewhat new to the hobby.
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.
It is not so tough, I got mine this week and already broke 2 front steering C-Hubs. (First one was my mistake, but second got broken just doing a turn on flat surface, I was not even jumping or bashing it.)
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!!!!
Sorry but for this price or less you get an fully tuned and upgraded 144001 with brushless combo by your choice incl. Lipos and much alu parts and so on

I might have missed it. But, what are the runtimes on the type of batteries you are using?
A good 20mins on a 1500mah Lipo
@@TomleyRC Thanks so much. That is a great run time. Looks like a good buggy.
Nice vid
Thanks dude
woud it perform good at indoor tracks and outdoor 1 / 10 tracks
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
3s is ok to use?esc doesn't seem like it would appreciate that
✌🏻😎🏴are you done with wltoys now that you’ve tried this one?
No, still got more stuff to come from the WLtoys. Have both the new ones coming as well
hi tomley, i just bought a lc racing emb-1h which has the same engine as this emb-t, but batteries and chargers are not included in the purchase, could you link me some batteries with that type of plug and a charger? because it is a difficult plug to find on the internet. thank you so much
just bought the rally version ? on basis of this :-) Hope they are similarly well built.
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.
Do you do all filming by just driving one handed and with a phone?
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.
What 2s are you using? And what 3s is it rated for?
Did you manage to find out the reason for the difference in speed between the Truggy and the MT? Motor is supposed to be bigger on the truggy (2850 vs 2838) but car is also heavier? Assume you used the same battery in both tests?
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?
Lc Racing is doing some great quality kits! I'm planning to get the kit version, did you try by any chance to fit a shorty lipo battery?
I like 1/14 scale. Unfortunately there aren't many trucks.
what connecter does it come with?
Where is that track ?
1st RC, UK buyer mainly intending to run on grass. This or the Team Associated MT 10 on my shortlist. What do you recommend?
MT10 :)
Nice!
About time indeed! What happened to 3s?
Saving that for a speed run on foams ;)
@@TomleyRC does the system support 3S? How’s the radio and servo?
Can anyone let me know if the wltoys 14400 A arms are compatible with this truck
I'm not sure. The new 124019 is very similar to this, so it is possible
Hello, Tomley RC, if I wanted to change the wheels on this rc or a 1/14 scale in-general,
what size would I look/ask for. Asking as I am somewhat new to the hobby.
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.
" METAL " MEANS NOTHING : STEEL OR ALUMINIUM cvd / pinions / gears ?
Dude where is this BMX track!
Lincoln
Looking now at the Banggood and at the specs writes: "(note:the charger is not included)"
Sweet lil’ basher! WL TOYS are underrated don’t you think? The bang for the buck is definitely there. I am definitely enjoying my 024019
looks like it could use a gyro looks more promising than rlaarlo am-x12
How well does the buggy perform in the grass?
Decent ;)
@@TomleyRC which do you prefer more, the buggy or the truck?
Can you get parts for it?
Yes, it's been out for a few years
If it goes 33 on a 2s, its going to be a rocket ship on 3s.
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👍🏾
bout time ! 😂
haha
Cut those plugs and get Dean's on there!!
Cool
Receiver and servo are not waterproof. This is still my favorite basher though.
@NOTREALLY HANKAARON HXT 3.5mm iirc.
@NOTREALLY HANKAARON no.
It is not so tough, I got mine this week and already broke 2 front steering C-Hubs.
(First one was my mistake, but second got broken just doing a turn on flat surface, I was not even jumping or bashing it.)
BS
the original Ni Mh battery is a bit of shit x-)
Great looking truggy. 2s top speed disappointing tho.
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.
smaller tyres , so I bet it accelerates faster
Great little car, but not partial to the colors.
It reminds me of a water-skiing boat. I actually don't mind it.
I agree. Best 1/14 by far..u get wat u pay for sooooo.....lol
Yep...the quality is awesome!
Dang it’s a bit pricy, for under 100£ I’d deffo get one to beat around.
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!!!!
Will i go for the Truggy or MT? Torn between the two..hahahaha
Either, but the Truggy gets my vote
Can't understand the batteries, can imagine a fair few folks who buy them for older children are missing out and are none the wiser 🤷
Yeah possibly. Banggood told me the next batch will have Lipos.. so fingers crossed!
Buy this, not Wltoys
Sorry but for this price or less you get an fully tuned and upgraded 144001 with brushless combo by your choice incl. Lipos and much alu parts and so on
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!
Let's be real
Stop saying 'lye-po'.....Lithium, geddit?
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 😜
It's a wl toys
A wl toys is a cheap knock-off of this. LC racing are great
Junk!
