Nice review. I am surprised the range has improved over V1 transmitter even though both specs are 100m. I can't wait to get mine and test it at other side of the planet.
The main differences are the body shells and this new one has a much better transmitter range, than the old transmitter, check out my range test video👍
2200 mah with 25c , 2s, is not high performance. They just wrapped it with a new outter look, much like the buggy itself. Get an upgraded servo with faster reaction (quadrifyrc is the place to check for specific models) and obv check diffs / shocks for fluid / oil before running, and you gotta 124017 v2. Maybe we should stop saying the scale number in the name, but I've seen some that were clearly 14th scale listed as 12th.
Correction, wasn't the stock esc on the V2 45 amps? If so, then they've lowered the esc's amps but likely increased it's stability and reliability instead.
This is a pretty sweet buggy Dave! Ive got the version 2 desert buggy ( which I have yet to review😝)so I’ll probably be passing this buggy version up. I’m glad they upgraded this though as it’s pretty popular. The Transmitter and receiver upgrade was a great move! I’m totally with you on the need for dual rates on their controller! It really flies right along! I’m sure a great jumper! Take care buddy and happy holidays!🎄🙌🏽
if you have version 2 then you have lots of problems with the teeth in your motor , alignment motor mount problems, bearings getting stuck low quality bearings, back swing arms installed incorrectly to much forward inclination, esc has the probability to go into low voltage protection if you play alot with 3s , rims if you tighten just a tiny bit of what is suppose to they wont turn at all so you have to always drive with 1mm to 2mm loose nuts i dont think you should pass on this one because they fixed everything including A swing arms with reinforcements i hope for newer versions they remove the colorful scheme and put something more adult like.
I always enjoy your reviews and tips! You are very thorough and objective with your comments, and that is much appreciated. I've just ordered one of these 124007 buggies based largely on your reviews above and distance test, and already have the 124019 buggy, again, based largely on your review. Thanks for all you do for our hobby, and keep up the fantastic work!

I know that this is a new one but like you said, it looks like the older models and it is a different size. Nice job Dave and have a good weekend.

thanks man I was looking for the remote delay for this model I'm glad you're mentioning it in the video :)
Thanks for watching mate 👍
Looks good Dave. Performed good, I’m liking the new transmitter
Excellent video I would like to know if the parts are exactly the same as the 124017. 🛑🛑🛑
Yes parts are the same, thanks for watching mate👍
@@PERTHWESTOZRC thank's very much
Whats the biggest 3s battery with no modifications I can put in car. To make it go the fastest and last the longest ?
I never tried 3s in this model but I been told in the comments the ESC is not 3S compatible
7:33, they did not think this one through when they designed it!
wich model is better 007 or 008 and why?
I like the 008 better
@@PERTHWESTOZRC why 008 but the 007 has the speed and aren't the parts a little better from what I've heard?
So this goes 45mph on 2s... Wonder if the motor would handle a 3s esc
Mine do. No problems
Another cool video with a quick little ripper‼️👍👍🦾🦾
Glad you enjoyed it
Any throttle delay? Just asking
Pretty sure i mentioned in this video there is no delay
Good👍
I still want one of these, or the 1/10 version, but there’s other things that take precidence… I do love that they put the phone holder on it
Can you summarize the main differences between the 124017 model? because some say 124017 is better.
The main differences are the body shells and this new one has a much better transmitter range, than the old transmitter, check out my range test video👍
@@PERTHWESTOZRC Would this body and dog bones will fit on the 124017?
*tries not to buy rc he doesnt need*
Nice look at this one Dave! I think I like the look of the previous one better though I think the new TX looks nicer.

Thanks mate, appreciate you watching 👍
Body seems to sit a few mm's off the chassis. Not great for speed runs, but otherwhse doens't really matter.
Great review and runs
Thanks for watching bro 🍻
Interesting that 124008 is so different than the 124007
Does this car stock work on 3s?
I haven't had any problems yet
Ola, mano, quanto tempo durou a bateria em 2 e 3s? Bom video💥🤘👍
Thanks for watching bro 🍻
With 3s it would bé like à rocket
Nice little buggy, great video as usual. Thanks for giving us a look at it 👍🏾
Can it be operated on 3s?????
If I wanted to upgrade the battery which one do you recommend. ?
I'd go with a 2200 - 2500mah higher C rated lipo, maybe like a 50C that would be a good upgrade and longer run times
Как исправить эту задержку в газе?
Great vid as always. 👍Rear wing looks at an odd angle is that how it comes.
You are right! think the spoiler got a bit bent in the box on this one lol
We're best place to buy part for wltoys 😂😂

The 124017 v2 had a 60 amp esc no? New one on the 124007 is 45 amp
Yes i am pretty sure that was the case 60A on the 124017 then they went 45A on this one
Is the new one still 3s capable in this case?
Have you tried 3s battery on this one? Ive seen that doesn’t work, but not sure yet.
No i haven't tried a 3S on this model, i presume it can handle a 3S like the previous models though
I only have a 3 s work with no problem
Have they got rid of the throttle delay on this model? Cheers!
Yes they have and it gets rid of the delay on older models too, check out my recent Bind Them All video 👍
@@PERTHWESTOZRC cool, I'll get this over the V2 then. The transmitter looks terrible but I could always remove the stickers.
is this a lipo battery?
Yes it runs on a 2200mah 2s lipo
@@PERTHWESTOZRC Iv gone and ordered this model, just wondering what battery will fit in this? Iv looked at the zeee but they look too long to fit in.
