Have to say I was happy when mine finally showed up and it was the V2. Now if the weather would cooperate, it could go outside lol. Thanks for the heads up that the blue wheel was the newer version. Made identifying it easy.
You are always teaching me about every aspect of my electronics. Even if I don’t like buggies I know there is a pearl of wisdom in your review so need to watch it 100% through and hear everything you say without interruptions. I didn’t know that about the GoPro mic
Just a heads up for everyone.... Just purchased 2 of the new V2s and they are coming with a gold bracket WITH a 19T gearing and 4300kv motor, so not all of them are coming with that anodized blue mount
One of the best rc car ever, 43 mph out of the box, that's unbelievable, every time I use this car, I'm impressed, $189.99 is a great price. I think I'm gonna buy the 124016 version...
@@NoExceptionsGuy it's a 3000mAh 45C 3S LiPo battery, brand "Tiger" and it's one of the cheapest brands of LiPos here in Southeast Asia. It's a bit long for the stock battery tray but there's enough space on the chassis for you to extend it, just need to drill 2 small holes.
I'm still using my 124019 which ive made brushless. Using a 5700kv 3650 a 120a hobbywing esc. But I'm using mod 1 pinions for spur. 2s I'm getting 50+ mph They are a good platform to upgrade with minimal cost.
I have the brushed 124018 and I greased the diffs inside and outside and you should do that too because your diffs would be a lot stronger and you have smooth gears not grinding gears in the vid.
I still think the brushed version of these are plenty fast enough for the size.but it is good they brought out the brushless version for those who like want a bit more.feel sorry for those who jumped on the v1 tho .nice video phill
@@TomleyRC I just changed the servo and esc in 124018 and it runs 3s and hits 40 .I will be getting the v2 black buggy tho just because it looks awsome lol
Thank you so much for going over the differences. I had this very beast waiting for me in front of my door on xmas morning (Banggood delivery is awesome here in Canada) and well this video and the one from the RC Kiwis made me go 'oh did I just get the V1 just as they release the V2??' and was getting a bit bummed, but then I saw the comparison. I have the blue anodized portion on the motor and I have the blue wheel on the remote, V2 baby woooo! Happier now, no tweaking needed to have my fun. Explains why I didn't notice much in the way of cogging either like everyone mentioned.
I've got one of these and upgraded to a hobby wing 120A esc and surpass 4300 kv and honestly I can't run a whole pack through it without tearing something up. It's super fast but fragile, If they had a 1/8 scale on this platform it would be awesome.
Luckily having a V1 anyone can buy motor+support+19t already mounted and from the factory. Swap is really simple and the cost is around 20 euros. You still keep old transmitter, but the range is longer than my eyes field so, it is ok. Unfortunately V2 the most of the time is shipped in a big white box and not in the carton. So it is in any case a bargain to me. Thank you for you nice and interesting videos
I have the 124018 brushed. Like anything fast, you need spare parts. I suggest getting spare parts for the front end. After all it's the portion that takes the hit. I had to 3d print the oval plastic part that holds the pin for lower a arm in the front. Not available as a replacement part. After all I like my buggy. Really fun.
@@TomleyRC I'll tell you what, I'm subscribed to a ton of RC channels but yours is definitely the best in my opinion. I find myself skipping and fast-forwarding through a lot of other channels but yours keeps my attention 100% from the beginning till the end😁 glad I discovered your channel a while while back👍🏼👊🏼🏆
Not gonna lie…..but of a large pill to swallow having just received version 1 of both models about 2 months before v2. Both of mine are inoperable they cog so bad. I’ve got another motor that allows for a change in pinion ready to install as soon as I find the time so hopefully that will resolve!
Didn't think the sound was bad when u went out to drive the rc. Was the sound quality great no but heard everything u said just fine. I think I'll have to get one. Have the wltoy 144001 and the only problem I have with it is it wants to roll over all the time when I turn even if I slow down it still rolls almost have to stop to turn so I dont roll it, but I'm also a newbie to rc so that could be most of the problem. Plus my Jack Russell loves chasing it so if I'm not fast enough he rips into it which I don't mind I have two shells one I us with him and the other is a good one. Awesome video ill definitely watch more.
Considering buying this as my first RC. However as a beginner I'm thinking maybe its TOO fast to control in the beginning. Can I adjust the topspeed in the controller. If I have a smaller place to race it feels like it will just smash into walls with that acceleration. Better buy another car or what do you recommend?
These are decent cars for beginners, you can turn the speed down on the radio. Parts are easy to get and cheap. I have the 144001 and they just came out with the new version of it as well. Wltoys makes fun little rcs
Why dont these come with a front bumper? I got a variant of this which was rebranded for a teenage cousin and noticed the missing front bumper in its design. Everything else is great with it.
@@halfpastblog quadifyrc has a blog about swapping out to a 17t(?) pinion. Worth a read if you want to sort your car out.. or just buy new motor mount and pinion + 3s?
Good video i just got the older 124018 brushed and now spending on brushless parts maybe i should of just got the new v2 brushless 124018 thing, a chap on the net seems to think a 2845 with hobbywing 16bl30 works well, we will see
I waited 3 months past the supposed ship date for the v1 only to find its hindered w issues. Buying the first version of anything comes w risks, even v1 1:1 cars have bugs. But cogging, low range and very limited terrain capabilities aren't bugs, they are failures. Luckily mine is drivable but I'm still hella annoyed WLT sold the dang lemons in the first place.
Hello. Are the 1/14 scale parts for 144001 and 124017 interchangable, or rather do they work on the 124017(as I can find no parts for the 017)? Thank you.
Driveshaft length, body shell and chassis plate differ in size between 1/12 and 1/14 variants. That said most 144001 parts are compatible with 124017. Getting parts is cheap, however shipping can take some time (20-25 days). I just bought a second 124017 when there was a really good deal on it to use for parts. The quality is excellent for the price but eventually you need some spare parts....
Good speed!!! If i put a ESC Hobbywing Ezrun Wp SC8 120A on the stock motor with a 3S, will it make it more stable for 3S? And if i want it a little more speed, how many T, metal, spur gear do i need? Thanks in advance.
Hello i was wondering what me and my son will have more fun with Wl toys 124017 version 2 or a MJX hyper go. We mainly run on dirt tracks that are dusty and bumpy. We live in kenya on a dusty muam track farm so no tarmac.. what would you recommend for around £100
I got to look at mine but it ripps! It does cogg a bit in gras so i dont want to look! Lol i got a 019 as well. Im going to put the 019s tires on it. Too much wheel spin, abd doughnuts with the dirt tires on concreat, and ashphalt. Get them both. There cheep enough. Give your kid the 019, and keep the 017 for yourself. It really needs a good computer radio. It needes expo on the steering.
It's nice to have a tell once you get the silly thing, but how can you be sure you'll get what you want when you order one? They produced a TON of the crappy ones that sellers will try to send an unsuspecting buyer.
Hi Tomley. Checked your site. The v2 advertised doesn’t have the blue wheel on the transmitter or the blue engine mount. Is this the upgrade model you are show casing. Cheers 🇦🇺

Hi Tomley. I watch the videos from you now for some couple of months. I love all of them. They helped me a lot with my buying decisions. But I have a question regarding a tamiya mini Cooper. My dad bought it a long long time ago. But it is still not ready to run. And I don't know which parts are still missing. And I want to ask you if I can send you some pictures and maybe you can tell me which parts I need to buy. I do not have any experience with tamiya cars. But I want to make my dad happy and make the car ready to run... hope you can help me with my issue.... Best regards from austria from a german guy. Mike

My "v2" arrived a few days ago, I ended up with the same as yours. I didn't have any problems with delay but there is a big deadzone in the throttle. I was ready to swap out a few bits anyway so I fitted a new radio with a gyro and hobbywing razer 10 esc. It's an animal now haha
I got the upgrade kit for my V1 (was just about to drop a bigger sized brushless motor in it to solve the issues). Range issue isnt important to me as it's for my garden track.

hey tomley, i know you probably wont read this comment but i have a mad idea. yknow how wpl has an amazing store where you can buy any part off their cars? well it got me thinking, what if you do a challenge where you see if you can build one of WPL's cars buy just buying spare parts??? and im not talking about a kit or a KM, im talking about independently buying each part from there store haha. would it cost more than just buying a kit? yep lol would it be impressive? yep lol would it be worth it? no but it would be interesting lol i cant afford to do it but maybe you could work a deal with wpl? or even if ur mad buy the parts urself? just a mad idea i had anyways
@@TomleyRC well if i knew youd actually read that i probly would have worded it better 😂 but yeah i recon it would be a mad idea. Not very practical though haha, it would be like so ending 10k on a car worth 500 quid lol. But it would definitely be an interesting experiment.

Does it come with a charger?
Hello. I’m new to rc cars. My son had the purple model, I want to buy one so we can have fun together, if I buy this or another purple one can we race together? Regarding remotes?
Hello. Sorry but I speak very little English. the cogging problems are solved with this v2? are the differentials durable? what to put in it? Rather oil or fat? Thanks for the answers. Hello from France :)
Waterproof or not?
Hi What’s this model called ?
Wow that’s crazy for a cheap car
hey tomley, i know you probably wont read this comment but i have a mad idea.
yknow how wpl has an amazing store where you can buy any part off their cars? well it got me thinking, what if you do a challenge where you see if you can build one of WPL's cars buy just buying spare parts??? and im not talking about a kit or a KM, im talking about independently buying each part from there store haha.
would it cost more than just buying a kit? yep lol
would it be impressive? yep lol
would it be worth it? no but it would be interesting lol
i cant afford to do it but maybe you could work a deal with wpl? or even if ur mad buy the parts urself?
just a mad idea i had anyways
I read all my comments :)... that's a pretty crazy idea!.... maybe next year :)
@@TomleyRC well if i knew youd actually read that i probly would have worded it better 😂 but yeah i recon it would be a mad idea. Not very practical though haha, it would be like so ending 10k on a car worth 500 quid lol.
But it would definitely be an interesting experiment.
