I've got a couple of these and use them to burn tires off and parking lot bashing. Fast, durable, cheap parts. My upgrades are a traxxas receiver, fan on motor, raise rear body mount to compensate for fan. Now can run 3s all day long. I like Traxxas receivers for their gyros.
Bahahah - I got one of these Monday! Knocked a dogbone out on the first battery too! Fixed in 2 minutes. Add 4 M3-10 or 12 grub screws to the steering arms (hole is there already) - gets ride height down a bit and helps handling a LOT My car is overhauled, diff grease added, and metal gears/diff, proper shock oil and she runs SUPERB. My last RC was a brushless Associated 18T 20 years ago. The wltoys is top notch - main drawback is lack of steering sensitivity adjust. Too sensitive for high speeds. 1-hand speed nub steering + cell phone holder lets you vlog and drive!?!! I tried it and am still a bit dizzzyyy.... lol LOL at "kids these days" I have spares if you need em. Not far from you. Cheers!
Great little buggy for sure. The radio seems nice as well. It's nice that you showed the damage after the crash. On my 124016 the dogbones bend every time I take it out for a gentle bash. WLtoys should go with something stronger. IMHO Thanks for the awesome review as always. 👍👍
Hi Steve.....Well, thats a bummer you could only do a short review. I need something like that to run off road. On a side note. I been running the Riaario AK 17 car on asphalt. Already wore down the 78 tooth nylon spur gear. I thought that was fast until I installed the 68 tooth spur gear. Now it's INSANELY FAST. Thats with a 3 cell 3300 battery. I get an average run time of 25 min............😎
Thanks for all videos you do. I am a rookie in RC, just bought a couple of MJX 14210 to race my family in the backyard and WLT 124017 is on the way BUT I was somewhat impatient and ordered two Lipos S3 3300 mAh in ahead but now they don't fit to MJXes. Can anyone measure if it will fit for WLT 124017 ? Battery is 13,5 cm long, 4,3 cm wide and 2 cm high.
RC Guy garage makes a nice little holder for the sky gps it a bit easier than the tape you are using and I have sent a few cars flying and its always stayed on
Is that the v2 version because i have v2 and it cant run 3s due to it having 45a esc the v1 comes with 60a esc and runs 3s. Wltoys words not mine. That on v1 they we’re having problems with the 60a so they put a 45a. Seems werid to me. They seem to not know what there selling or they just mix it up and u get lucky.
I was wondering what size esc is in the v2 I’ve just got one. Do you know what size the motor is? However my remote is the same as his but has a blue wheel.
These people break these because they drive them at full throttle and crash. Then they turn around and say it's junk. They will last if you don't do crazy stuff with them
Dude your doing a speed run and your standing at the end where you going to stop but there is a big ass barrier obsticle right there and no where to go can you see the problem you had otherwise your review was awesome
Diversity of your reviews keeps us in any hobby coming back 😀.
Glad to hear it!
Great crash sequence. Liked the slow-mo replay.
Glad your honest about mistakes. We all learn from it.
Why name it 124017?
I don’t remember exactly but think it’s 12 is the scale size 4 is the wheel drive and 017 is the model if I remember correctly.
Uh Oh !!!; loved the slo mo "crash" !!!!; and good thing you didn't take out "The Human" !!!!!!
That's one hell of a fast review 😂
Possibly the first ever review on UA-cam of a 3-wheeled RC car !

🤣👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Very nice crash Steve. These things do happen.
Steve got smart. He used to put an insta camera on his r/c cars. They were fun watching fly off !!!

Excellent on the quick fix and tuning
You're the Best Captain!

LOL!!! Three wheel buggy!!!! HAHA.. nice review Steve👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

You’re most welcome
Folks this is a AWESOME BUGGY
Thanks for the video.
That looked like a nice starter car.
great video Steve.

Thanks! I will have to change the spur gear and give it a try.
Excellent Tutorial Review Video. Very Nice RC Car. Thank You Steve.
Nice video! 70 kmh at 2S?. Thanks you
I like how on the website to buy this it says don't throw it into the fire and don't throw it into the water 😂
Hmmm… perhaps that’s what some owners have been doing and then were surprised the car no longer worked & complained 😂
Tenemos un nuevo Kevin Talbot😂
The shortest review 😂😂😂😂

Really nice set up

Thanks for the tip!
Very cool Video. Thank you very much!
you just love rc cars more than flying !!!!! all those laws and rules ruining everything.
Nice . Now that you have to whrench it dont forget the always lacking diff.grease.
Fun video ! 😃
Fast car !
Good morning captain really cool car nice review
Is there any cogging in the grass I have the v1 and it cogs bad
Súper cool
These Chinese RCs are just getting better and better, don't they....
Haha…..WIPEOUT!
Hi Cap. Could a fpv camera be installed on it?
Certainly
Enjoy the the weekend
Are there parts you can purchase for this car?
Yes. Wltoys parts are very common.
I have this rc! But not that remote, that one seems odd. 😕
Oh, and grease the diffs. ☺
Can this V8 version run 3s?
I know the 12 means 12th scale the 4 means 4wd and the last part is the model number
I seriously don't see how it was possible for me to fry the black wire just by turning the car on before the transmitter
Nice
Is that the v2 version because i have v2 and it cant run 3s due to it having 45a esc the v1 comes with 60a esc and runs 3s. Wltoys words not mine. That on v1 they we’re having problems with the 60a so they put a 45a. Seems werid to me. They seem to not know what there selling or they just mix it up and u get lucky.
Any answer would be greatly appreciated and helpful
I was wondering what size esc is in the v2 I’ve just got one. Do you know what size the motor is? However my remote is the same as his but has a blue wheel.
You always do speed trials at the brick wall...
Yes, and normally brakes are effective
Hi. 70 kmh on 2s lipo?
Its nice.
Sorry about the crash
If you don’t want to fix it I will or could use it for spare parts… I’m breaking their stuff all the time!
I'm getting 91.733 kph with mine on 3 s lipo battery
I had the same car about to do a review myself but I upgraded mine,, but it definitely will do 40 all day with a bigger battery 3 s esc can handle it
you really need better new speed test place... that one sucks.... not even 100m lenght
These people break these because they drive them at full throttle and crash. Then they turn around and say it's junk. They will last if you don't do crazy stuff with them
Maybe don't test the breaking power and maximum speed in the same test. Worthless.
Dude your doing a speed run and your standing at the end where you going to stop but there is a big ass barrier obsticle right there and no where to go can you see the problem you had otherwise your review was awesome
