Had a recent experience where one of the many ‘gool rc’ escs that I’ve ordered had the same issue with cogging, and then take off. 100% a cheap esc problem. Ordered another 60a banggood esc and it fixed the issue. My money is on the ESC for the cogging! Great upload btw; always a good day when you guys release new content
I was rolling through the mll with my girlfriend a few days ago, and stumbled on a weird little electronic toy shop. It had a lot of power wheels, toy grade rc cars, and in one corner there was a bunch of wltoys stuff. I had never seen or heard of this brand before. After picking one up and looking at it, it looked like it had decent build quality for the price. The guy was asking 220, and I figured I'd look them up for some reviews. Little did I know they were actually even cheaper online. For $150, There's no way this truck can disappoint me. My 124016 v2 gets here tomorrow and I can't wait to bash it.
I have one of the 124018 with the brushed motor. Its a reliable ripper with plenty of power for bashing around. I thought about taking it brushless, but after seeing all the cogging issues I'm gonna leave it be.
I think the cogging is due to the receiver/ transmitter. I don’t think it’s a symptom of the brushless system itself. I’m totally confident that if you threw a brushless system in it, you’d be fine…. Seeing as you’d have to replace all the other electronics as well.
Same here I'm happy with the brushed as it's so cheap now the brushless is available ,I got 3 124018s at £78 each with 3 batteries and it's only £65 to make it brushless with a cheap but good kit ...But until mind bust I'm happy brushed with what I'm using them for 👍
i converted my 124018 to brushless recently and it's amazing, i went with a 3650 motor on a stock gearing and it's fine , also the gyro helps a lot , the whole conversion was about 90$
I think the ESC is probably fine. Im going to change out the receiver and transmitter in mine. It really only cogs in grass. Ours are fine on road and dirt. In fact, mine launches freakin hard on pavement.
Yeah, you can kinda see it clogging, but that’s gotta be down to the transmitter/ receiver. I mentioned that the throttle is almost like an on/off switch. You’ll definitely get coffin in grass, but on road/ dirt, it’s not a problem…. At least with ours. Is 4mph alone worth the difference? No, but getting a 3 wire servo, as well as a traditional ESC and receiver rather than a combo is totally worth it.
I recently got my wltoys 12401 7 and I put a better transmitter (a dumbo transmitter) and the clogging went away and it went 41 on the road and I think about 25 on grass but there both really cool and on 3s they should go faster
There is 1 major issue I found with all 4 of my WLtoys models. The front tires have way to much wiggle in them. its hard to notice when using them off-road, but it is very noticeable when doing speed runs on the street. I will say this, if it wasnt for the price of their buggies, I would have never gotten back into RC cars/trucks again. I used to run nitro trucks/cars in the late 90's early 2000's.
My favourite is the 124018, when I heard the 124016 was being released I got the brushed in anticipation to start a 1/10 rally cross build with the kamtec CITROEN SAXO body , you know selecting wheels ,making custom body mounts and painting the shell so soon as the brushless came out I'd have the parts ready to swap over , then it got delayed, then I see all the vids of the new ones cogging and in the six months waiting and ripping the 124018 I just haven't had a problem or the need to upgrade so I've bought 3x 124018s now to make into rally cross cars and if I do have to swap out parts eventually then I'll go brushless because a new set of brushless components are cheeper than the price difference of the old and new plus it's parts of my choosing but yeah I love these rigs and what you can do with them, a proper versatile chassis 👍
#brushedmotorsmatter! Nice! Keep in mind though, you’ll have to swap out all the electronics, so you can put any system in there that you want. It doesn’t have to be the one that everyone is complaining about.
I've gr8 both of them. They are fast. But not bashers. The are fragile as fuck and break all the time. You barely tap shit and the suspension is broke.
@@10thScaleGarage I am a big fan of wltoys cars though. You have to use the right car in the right terrain. Other wise anything can happen. Hey parts are cheap and they're easy to fix.
How do you think these compare to the durability of the little hbx's like the 16889 or whatever they call it? I got rid of my wl toys 14blahblah cause I kept breaking it. The Dune buggy one looks pretty legit tho. You guys always rock the vids. Thanks for all you do.👍👍
4s would be pointless....3s is too much unless your just doing straight lines. A good 10.5 t motor on a decent 2s will push 60 mph easy and still be able to drive it without it flipping all over it self.
What’s up dudes, I got the brushed 124018 for my son and the Brushless Tacon Cavalry for me which has a bit of cogwheeling from a standstill but has better electronics than the wltoys. The brushless has a lot more punch and faster acceleration to top speed. I think for bashing all versions of this chassis are fun. Good review👍🏾
