WLtoys 124017 RC Car Review - How Is It? 

With 3S this version 2 is an absolute beast. And for not too many bucks. 3S has a higher voltage, makes the motor run faster and does also apply more force on the drivelines so driving a bit careful is advised and some spareparts are recommended aswell. But luckaly they are pretty cheap. I changed some parts (the weaker ones) for metal ones, so they should not break as easy as plastic especially with cold weather. Thanks for the vid mate

I opened the front differential on my gen 7 sport, there was a good amount of grease, and steel gears. People worry too much, take it out for a half hour rip, it's fun. Things are fine when it's new. People have to change stuff all the time. I actually use mine a few days or more a week. All stock, wow.

Thanks for sharing Sir👍

This is an antenna, this is the remote, this is the top of the remote, this is a tire, this is a battery, it’s rechargeable. I appreciate these details 😂 for a second I thought this might be like the remote control cars from my childhood that ran on C cells… nonrechargeable

I'm sold. I'm about to order two of them

Oh some additional info on this buggy: Its actually a clone of LC racing's LC12B1, Its a competition style Buggy that comes as a kit. The reason why this is much popular than the original LC12B1 is because this is almost half the price and its ready to run. This thing is actually quite famous as a cheap "Speedrun" machine with some YT channels modifying this to crazy amounts of speed, though its probably lying that it can achieve 75kmp out of the box stock it is a highly capable platform that can (and already) broke 100kmp with heavy modifications. The reason why this is so famous is one can try and do speedruns and if it breaks, because it is so cheap, you can easily buy a new one for replacements. Oh and here are some things you might want to look out for: -Grease the gears and differentials (you can use multipurpose automotive grease) Wltoys is infamous for shody build quality and not greasing their kits properly (because it is so cheap) -Find guides on how to align the toe-in on the front and on the rear. The kit comes with a ridiculous amount of toe-ins out of the box which makes it crazy unstable. -If you plan on doing speed runs you can buy m3 screws and plug it on the wholes on the lower arms, front and rear. This will lower the ride height of the car and make it more stable in high speed -You can also get those foam tires, its super grippy on pavement -Wheel hub carriers front and rear, and CVDs and dogbones are the weakpoints of this kit, do get spares for does parts or you can upgrade them to aluminums. Lower arms too are quite weak -The shock absorbers need to be tuned. If you have experience with tuning shocks do give it a tune, if not then buy some spares to experiment with. (dont be like me I destroyed my shocks :( ) Overall its a super nice entry level kit for anyone trying out the RC hobby, the spare parts and upgrades are dirt cheap and almost always available so its super nice.

Racing this one in a carpet buggy track. With the right tires, is really fast on the track.

I think the diffs are too loose making it spin out very easy. I think locking out the diffs or putting in thick diff oil really would help the handling so you can enjoy its full power. Also like others mentioned, this car on 3s sounds fun :)

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.

I bought at Amazon ...it didn't come with those accessories...it came with tire wrench and 2 batteries...plus the way his motor is wired up is different....

Are the shocks adjustable??

Anyone know of a 3s battery with deans connector to fit this RC car

Do these WLtoys RC cars have brakes?

i just got mine today and dude i have flipped it like 20 times i’m going to try to put my ecx wheels on it and see

75 kph is 46.6 mph

Yoo v2 with 3s is only 111 dollars

Lol your technical skills lack but good vid.

Cheaper on ebay

Its definitely not a toy, it rips hard. Be careful.

Bought one of these for my son, he used it like the chap in the video, blasting around flat ground and some jumps off road. Within 48 hours the drive shafts and shocks all bent and broke. Waste of money in my opinion. Really cheap Chinese build.

I WOULD SAY THE POWER THESE HAVE IS PERFECT! ALSO....YOUR DRVIVING SKILLS ARE LACKGING A 10YR OLD COULD DRIVE BETTER. THEN U SAY ITS WAY TOO POWERFUL FOR ITS SIZE AND UNCONTROLABLE BUT THEN RECOMMEND IT FOR SOMEONE STARTING OUT? YOURE A WALKING CONTRADICTION BIG GUY

TheRcKiwis MAYBE SHE CAN SHOW YOU HOW TO DRIVE!!!!!! SOMEBODY CALL KEVIN TALBOT11
