Thumb nail on point 💯 Great vid guys
O
Just remove the two drivers from the and then you will notice the big difference
The car i mean
The receiver range is limited by the antenna configuration. When you close the lid on the cab it pushes the antenna into the horizontal position. The antenna in the transmitter is vertically polarized. There is a 20db signal loss from cross polarization. Every 3db is equal to cutting the signal by 50%. That’s a lot of loss.
They should have included a longer coaxial section which would allow you to move the antenna back a little and maintain correct polarization.
I believe this ESC has an over temp shut off.
Driving in the sand presents a huge load and at that slow speed there isn’t enough airflow to cool it.
The addition of a fan would help and paddle tires would add load but MIGHT give enough speed to assist with cooling.
The factory tires were digging a trench and the chassis was dragging on the sand. Slightly taller and or wider tires might keep the chassis out of the sand.
If you want to compare apples to apples, both of these cars are almost identical so take the 124019 out in the sand and I believe you will see the same heat issue on it.
The transmitter range should be better on the 124019 because there is room to keep the antenna vertical.
Thanks and have a fabulous day!
Wuaow, best comment of the year!! Thanks for that information :).
They come overfilled with shock oil. Let about a quarter of it out and that will soften them out. The same issue with the 124019
The sand might be to much resistance for the set up. Putting to much stain on it.
I bought one last year and that little thing is well worth the money and then some!! The tires wore out from all that power so I installed a set of the same off road tires that come on the little Redcat Inferno. You have to use a longer screw but one of the inferno tires will fit where the spare goes. Awesome little car that is!!😍😍
Your Channel Rocks! Tuning in from Canada, Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much MoHan Des!!! We appreciate it 😊🥝
A good honest review!!! Great to see you have now cracked the 6k subs. Well done!👍👍
Sand put a lot of load on the motor /esc. Try mounting a fan on the esc. The body does not look like it allows for a lot of airflow through the buggy to keep everything cool. I mainly run my 17cars on the beach👍
I suspect what happened is that you got one with not enough grease in the diffs (common issue with these). Combine that with a hot day and running it in sand and you may have the cause for the overheating. Mine just arrived today, and after watching many videos I took apart and regreased the diffs. My shocks were not overfilled like many have been. Love the channel guys!
You make some great points there! Glad your one is good! Cheers 🍻
The shocks are overfilled with oil. I had the same problem with mine. I love this little buggy.
I actually love this buggy, BUT:
Lube all gears, I mean ALL of them. Check pressure on tire bolt as sometimes they are to tight and it overheats the motor to compensate.
My 144001 was also pretty hot in stock form. It need some cooling and this new design made electronics and motor more closed in and cook itself. It need some cooling fin on motor or some holes on body allow air go in. My 144001 now converted to 60A brushless and now on 2S lipo it runs cool and fast. It made 82 km/h top speed on not completely full battery. Like your content! 😉
Wow that’s quick!! Great point! Cheers mate 🍻
@@TheRcKiwis In one or two month you can see the build on my channel. It is hungarian language but mostly it will be timelapse wrenching and a test in the end. 😉
Wow. Nice showing the good and bad. Im heavily invested in Traxxas and Arrma but I might need to grab one of these WLtoys cars to test. Good vid guys😀
LOVE how you guys are making these budget friendly vids it’s perfect for right around the holiday ideas!! Great share 💯 Love this hobby, just wish my wife was into it too lol
Cheers mate!! Maybe try her with a crawler? That's how I got mine into it! 😁
@@TheRcKiwis No luck here lol you have a keeper! 😆👍🏼
The bullet connectors looked a bit burned as well... ESC's can be tricky lol. Great content and as always, cheers guys! #RCKiwiArmy
The main reason for the overheating will be sand getting into the brushes of the motor and causing static pulses. I had the same problem but yeah, probably the best budget buggy for all the newbies.
Thanks for keeping it honest.
Always 😊🙏🏽❤️
Thanks for reviewing some affordable rc cars. Muchove from Sydney, Australia. 🤙
Our pleasure! 😀
I had same issue after 5 minutes running off road with big wheels.
I honestly think it rocks but they have ESC problems how Wltoys should work on it.
Apart of that it rocks crazy.
I'm now waiting for my Brushless combo. I think it's the best way to get sure don't get on fire 🔥 🤣🤣🤣🤣😜😜😜
Great video.
Oh no!! Totally agree! Haha thank you so much for the support 😊
Great info thanks
i have had motors n escs
burn up while driving in sand may of just cooked the motor or
esc
Looks pretty good but I would put brushless system in it.👍👍👍👍
Love your vids.

Y’all always got the hot 🔥🔥🔥 RC’s!! Word bro 😎 Great video even better RC 😎
#FactsNoFiction
😊❤️🥝🏎
I'm really considering this one
The shocks are overfilled with oil, same problem as the 144001-they also need the diffs checking for grease.
Looks like the motor/esc is fried.
Always be sure fresh air can get inside the motor & esc at all costs. Gotta be able to get the hot air out.
Great video guys. A pity that you've picked up a dodgy one. Have you tried switching over the ESC/Rx combo unit? Could be an easy way to prove where the problem may be. Make a vid' about taking it apart and you can show how easy/difficult it is to upgrade. Good luck and keep up the good work :)
Thank you, Johny 😊🥝 Not yet.. but I’m sure Joe will do that at some stage 😊
Looks like you guys had fun. Nice to see Amber get to go first for a change 😜. I think the car was just a bit overloaded with the sand. I’ve run cars in the sand before and they can get very hot, especially brushed motors. Still that looks like a great value car.
Haha she was happy to go first! That's a great point! Amber did say that to me, I said "It's a desert buggy! It's made for the sand...." 😂😬
@@TheRcKiwis let’s blame Amber 🤣. Actually driving them in the sand is good fun though. Hopefully you guys can make some more videos with it. Love your enthusiasm from both of you.
I hope you both have a great weekend.
@@88davidw cheers! You have a fantastic weekend too! 🍻
Watch out for iron sand.(the black kind) that stuff wrecks electric motors. Its high conductive and does a lot of damage 😊
...nice beginners toy. 👨🔧
I think it needs some slots in the body for better airflow
Hello . Very good WLTOYS . Thank you. 👍🤘
❤️🥝🍻
I think running that rc in sand was a little bit to much for it to handle. Is like us if we run in sand we will get tired fast. Great video guys I love watching all your videos
Maybe you are right! Thank you so much 😊 We appreciate your support 😊🍻
Hi rc friends 🤙. Another Great video 🤜🤛. Nice Spot 😍, the car 🤔😅too much sand 🥵. Very good reviews and test runn - big like 👍😉. Have a Great day and cheers up mate from Cádiz - Andalucía - Spain 😊😉😎👍💪🚗💨💨🤝💨🇪🇸
Hello 😊 Thank you so much 🍻
Oh dear pity about the overheating otherwise good demo guys 🙂
Cheers Lee! 🍻
I like it! Which is the best way to convert or modify it to avoid the cogging problem, guys?
You guys rock
You rock Michael!! 😀
Nossa muito top esse modelo 🤩👏
"We want to see what happens." hahahahaha....awesome.
All these numbers eh.. 124018, it's only 1 x digit short of a Phone number! 😂 LOL. Respect for keeping it real & honest there. 👍 I thought the overheating was maybe little buggy didn't like the drag/friction of the sand, to much load, but obviously faulty ESC & being an RX Combo makes sense why it lost range if it got toasted. Still think these are great stocking fillers for kid that wants to get into the hobby. Have a nice evening guys.
Thank you so much, Jason 😊🥝 Totally agree! 😊
Subscribed.....✌🏼✌🏼🤠
Nice vid guys! Hi which one would you recommend for a beginner the 120419 or this one?
Hello! Either or, they are very similar 😊 I prefer the 124019 but if 104001 is an option for you, I would go for that!
@@TheRcKiwis thanks! I’ll consider that. More power on your channel guys! 💪
Hey gang! You guys should use my body clip technique 😁 ill have to make a video on it sometime
Other great video 👍🏽
Thank you!! 😇🍻
Yeah
very nice intro!
I'm glad you like it 😊
The sand caused the motor to overheat. Its like running in long grass etc
Subscribed!
EPIC!
Have you guys dun the video of the 124018 on the track yet? I am trying to decide between the 124081 and the 12428. What do you guys think?
I had the same esc problem☹️
Just curious. What lead you guys to live in Hong Kong? I've always heard New Zealand is a beautiful country.
Can it be modded to fit 5000mAh battery?
That's bad luck. They're normally pretty good. Great vid though, thanks. 😎👍
Cheers! Hopefully have some more videos of it at the track once they re-open 😊
got my like in the first 8 seconds
❤️❤️❤️🥝🍻
damn numbers eh Joe lol
Hey you guys ever on planing on coming back to nz
Hey! Yes we will one day 😊❤️🇳🇿
RC Saylors would be proud!!! I am a fan of theirs ya got a new sub, accent was a lil difficult to navigate, but not impossible AWESOME VIDEO "WL Toys" is a good capable brand, are they best no top 3 no I will put them top 5 ENTRY LEVEL though. WL toys I will side with the observation of "ENTRY LEVEL" WL toys is definitely entry grade. I like em parts are cheap enough compared to others, When you the wife and kids enjoy this hobby $500 on a single purchase JUST GREEDY as my kids have told me heheheheheheheheheh.....
❤️❤️❤️ thank you 😊
Wow. Straight knock off of the Tacon Cavalry.
Everything they make is an exact copy of LC Racing minus the brushless system
i think the shocks are overfilled
The RC Kiwis call the company who made it and tell them it has issues and the springs are to stiff they should of did brushless with a cooling fan
Shock oil overfilled
Wow
AHHHHHHHHHH. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! WHAT IS WLTOYS DOING TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
Ugh, my poor 144001! (still an absolutely amazing RC car by the way. But at this point I'm literally screaming "WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?") XD
Does anyone have a vxl esc or motor they don't want?
I guess the buggy isn't a fan of loose sand
Quite a good looking RC, isn't it?
Alright
I would like for you guys to test out a Traxxas X Maxx
Looks like we might just have to! 😁
Cool
Can't wait to see that video
Love all your videos
I have guys. I think you had a bad one take stay safe
Is it offroad?
Is the 124018 better than the 124019???? Pls answer
So far we enjoy the 124019 more, but we need more time with the 124018. They are almost identical! ;)
@@TheRcKiwis ok thanks ! Nice Channel btw !
Over filled shocks
That stupid bodyshel wont help the cooling and it makes it look lile a toy too..
The numbers are not that complicated
124018
12scale 4wheel drive. model no 018
144001
14scale 4wheel drive. Model no 001
Get it?
Calm down buddy. Its just a toy.....
@@grasshopper1g haha did that come across a bit arsey ? It wasn't meant to be
i would think the sand got in gears and motor ..which is very bad for rc cars
I bought one of these cars of WLTOYS Car just fell apart motor still works steering linkage shock driveshafts I’ll broke in five days
Awww no!!! 😢
I may pick up the Wltoys 1442009876458763570001!!

You have no idea man!!!!
A brushed motor needs a break in procedure... no break in process+sand bashing= motor and ESC toasted...
Hey Roger! Thanks for the comment, I've never heard of a break in procedure with brushed motor so thanks for mentioning it! Will look it up 😊 Hope you had an awesome Christmas! Cheers 🍻
