- This is the NEW WLtoys 144018!
Its been a while since we have seen anything new from Wltoys and I think that may be because they are slowly becoming irrelevant in the Cheap RC Car market!
The Wltoys 144001 used to be the go to cheap RC buggy that was perfect for getting people into the RC hobby on a tight budget but since prices started increasing due to increasing popularity and shipping difficulties they slowly started to lose their fan base.
Epic cars like the MJX hyper GO range, HBX and Rlaarlo are now the kings in the budget area of the RC Hobby which makes sub par Wltoys vehicles like this incredibly hard to justify as a new purchase.

Have WLtoys done enough to make a come back? I'm not sure they have! Let me know in the comments!
Bro, sorry to bother you however could you recommend a few budget rc bashers for my 8 year old son? MJX 14210 is just too fast for him and he hates my RGT18100 Crawler😂. Appreciate if you could take a few minutes from your packed schedule to help me out, bro.
@@julianramesh2273 hbx16889 brushed or brushless 😉
Is it UK only or something?
@@dylanwhite6539 no worldwide. Link fixed 👍
@@beyondRCRoger that. Thanks bro.
Simply terrible considering the current landscape of competitors.
I agree
Right .
It needs to cost $200 and break when you jump it like arrma 💪
@RustlerbashRC Just stick to your super kewl, totally indestructible Rustler and leave the arrmas to us adults. Problem solved.
I mean... TOYS is part of the branding and they seem to have gone from hobby grade to purely toy grade and don't seem to want to change.
Honestly i watch yours to see Honest Review. No boot licking happening here. Much love mate
People still think I’m dishonest that’s the funny part 😂😂
Friction Shocks…..Pointless 😂 Love the channel, you are brutally honest, love it
The 10428A from back in the day, is maybe my favorite car in my R/C fleet, that includes loads of expensive cars too.
At the time of writing this the Hyper go 16208 is on the Banggood for 78 quid. Brushless, lipo, upgradable, adjustable, 3s, metal this, stronger that, fast, and some bits even have oil in them. I'd say that's probably worth the extra 13 sheets over this.
A much better option
I bought their little mini 1/28 scale ones last year and they been fun, work surprisingly well outside on the path / road as well. I wouldn't get anything else from them though. I have 4 MJX and they have been solid.
I think you're right. They probably had parts that they don't use and just Frankensteined something together to make a quick buck. MJX is killing them in quality and maybe they just decided to throw in the towel. Who knows? It kinda resembles the 284161 only way cheaper. I'd rather have MJX anyway.
WlToys has really blown it these last few years. It’s a bummer. They got me started in the cheap RC hobby with the 124018.
There is just too many budget friendly options that are a way better deal than this thing. WLtoys needs to step it up!
hello, do you think you could look into the hsp wolverine?, its a really fast budget basher that has alot of aftermarket potential if that makes sense.
Good honest video mate, nicely done, shame about the car how can it compete with MJX and similar brands
There moving backwards instead of going forward
Can’t see them being around for much longer
Maybe... trying to stay afloat? That would be sad
In today’s market there are so so many companies that are putting out decent RC vehicles that are pretty good and budget friendly and with WLToys just putting out complete garbage nowadays it makes no sense. This is the time when they need to step their game up but it seems like they’ve gone the “ Department Store “ route rather than the “Hobby Grade” route?🤷🏻♂️ love the review brother.👍👍💯💯🙂
It’s a shame to see what has happened to Wltoys. They had such a nice run a few years ago. Now they’re not even competitive with mjx and others. I still enjoy my 144001 but it seems like that was their peak.
100%
Once again, awesome review. It's really annoying how Wl Toys are adding friction shocks instead of their amazing oil filled ones. I like it how honest your reviews are, let's get to 40k subs!!
Appreciate that 😚 only 50 to go 🙌👍
@@beyondRC 40k!! Wohoo!
@@skittles1077 yesssss 🥳🥳
Looks like they are focused on making kids toys for younger children. Maybe their sales in China are up. Maybe the production cost wasn't matching the profit. Who knows?
Everything looks like a bad deal after the $70 brushless 1/16 scale I got on Amazon. I don’t necessarily recommend it because it does advertise oil filled shocks when it doesn’t have them.
I got scammed too, the shocks just jammed up lol
I really hope WLToys sticks around... I've been happy enough with their products in the past, mainly because they offered good band for the buck and helped keep costs for R/C vehicles across the board reasonable. Just look at what an equivalent model from Traxxas or one of Horizon's vendors costs these days... YIKES! LOL!
I agree problem is things started to go downhill when they increased prices far too much for some of their older models. People quickly found alternatives 😕
The 124008 and 010 are great durable cars at a fantastic price
Zinc alloy = monkey metal!! Looking like wpl may be on their last leg for sure
Agreed 💯% mate.!! 👍 👍 Wltoys have had it.!!
I don't think they'll go bust or anything, but I definitely think they've lost their good reputation..
They've actually been around longer than most people realise & they've released quite a few different models over the years, I always liked the look of their 1/8 HPI Apache desert buggy copy from about 10 years ago but they weren't actually that good & they're impossible to get.
Their cheap, fast & durable 1/12, 1/14 & 1/18 buggies were their crowning achievements imho...
You simply couldn't go faster for the money when they came out.!! 👍 👍 👍
I've had a couple of them & I was pretty happy with them at the time, they're all in the spares box now though because they're not exactly a long lasting product.! 😉
I remember paying £34 for the 1/18 one (I had the 550 & the 380 motor version), £55 for the 1/14 one & £85 for the 124016 brushless version.!
The 124016 is definitely my favourite, it's actually still in decent running condition & I still use it occasionally.!
The prices have gone up by around 40% in some cases which immediately makes them lose to the competition.!
I doubt there's anything they can do to reclaim their cheap RC top spot other than a complete company shake up & a cash investment for their R & D department.... They'd better hurry up before what's left of their reputation is gone though.!!
The problem is innovation.!
They haven't innovated a single thing, they've only ever copied other manufacturers like LC Racing, downgraded the materials to be just good enough & changed a few cosmetics (often with less than tasteful results)😉, which isn't necessarily a terrible thing as long as the quality is still decent & the price is low.!
Both of those things are clearly absent in their current offerings with more & more examples of them cutting corners to save a few pennies.. FRICTION SHOCKS IN 2024 FFS.!🤯😲
MJX, Rlaarlo & the long time budget king HBX are wiping the floor with them.!
FTX (many of which have actually been HBX models) are probably the best budget option because of their HUGE range, reasonable prices, quality, performance, upgradability, decent durability & fantastic parts support.!!
No, it's not looking good for Wltoys....
Who knows, they could blow all our minds next week by releasing an awesome lineup of models that are cheaper, faster & more durable than the competition for loads less money.... They've done it before.!!
I'll certainly be there for it if they did.!! 👍
Stay safe out there & the very best wishes from Scotland 🏴 🙏 ❤️ 📻 🕹️ 🔋 🚗 🚖 🚕 🚔 🚚 🚙 🚘 🚓 🚒 🚑 🚐 🚎 🚤 🚁 🛩️ 👍 👍 👍
Some excellent points there mate. The cheap/budget rc market is so insanely competitive and for that reason I just can’t see them making a good enough come back. They ruined their reputation a while back and a lot of that is not listening to customers/reviews. Whilst rlaarlo and mjx aren’t perfect they are excellent at listening to their customers and feedback which is why they are doing incredible things at the moment and can only see them getting even bigger and better. Wltoys are over IMO they just can’t compete anymore
thanks for your hoenst reviews
I picked up 2x 124008 Wltoys from Ali express for 57 pounds each, 1 has a new Phat bodies shell with chunkier wheels, the other original shell and stock... that model is very durable, more than quick enough on 3s and at that price who cares about bashing them around, my little boy loves both and he races with his mate. if WLToys had developed that road with durability I, sure they would be doing better,,,, or is that Rlaarlo (which I believe is the same parent company).. could be that WLTOYS is literally going to be toy rc cars and Rlaarlo is the quality, hobby grade stuff? could be wrong, I'm just guessing..
Maybe we were wrong about them all the while. They are indeed toys as their name suggest and were never meant to be hobby grade. Lol
couldnt they start with solid numbers? the first launch is number 1 the second is 2 third 3 and up up up instead of 144010 144001
the only angle where it looks good is in the trash can
It usually is scale, car style, and model number but they did it a bit weirdly.
More sense would be:
14 - scale
B - buggy style
01 - number one
Or any kind of real naming convention 😂
thats better
but real names are even better
The numbers make sense. The 284131 for example is 1/28 scale 4 wheel drive and 131 is the model. 124007 is 1/12 scale 4 wheel drive and 007 is the model.
@@michaelthompson7637 How come the 124017 came before the 124007 though?
@@michaelthompson7637 tell that to some1 that is new in the hobby
he or she will be confused wich model to get with all the numbers
so its easyer to call it for example
wltoys buggy nr.18
This thing looks like it's designed to help MJX etc sell.. I saw the mjx for £85 Inc vat on banggood the other day.. yeah £20 more, 3s, brushless...
I have that same tire but it's worn out
Wow seems like they just said screw it and went full toy grade just about. Seems like the competitors and hobby has passed them by
Wltoys= moving flashlights
8 years ago msybe this wouldve been a steal. 2024? Ehhhhh might as well just pay extra and stick to one of the good Wltoys, rlaarlo, hbx or even a Grom
This ain't it
What was the brushless version of this truck?
144002
@@beyondRC Didn't that have a 550 brushed setup?
@@BabyAbarth ah maybe bro been so long probably got it wrong 😂
@beyondRC All good!
Still, the 144002 is a nice truck; still have mine - never drove it yet!
Game over
Will parts from a 144001 work on it?
I believe so
You lost me at friction shocks. Sad...WLToys had some good stuff back in the day and now they are just another Walmart toy.
Large legged! Don’t they know the Leg brand is trade marked!!! 🤣🤣
Hahaha
I don't own a wltoys and at this rate, don't think I ever will. That being said, it isn't wlRC, it is wl TOYS.
Some of their older stuff was good but the newer stuff. Yeah not great
Have the new ultimate stampede on your channel
Yes! Should be the next video! It’s a beast 👌
Wow, not great at all. A few bucks more you can buy the MJX Hyper Go 16208. Miles ahead of this. In the budget world of Rc cars MJX are by far the leaders. I won't be surprised if one day they even dominate over the bigger names. They only getting better with each car.
Gosh, that looks pretty grim.
Wow what a disappointment. I got the same radio with their v2 "A" version of the 915 boat 😄the trim knobs are fake and only function as push buttons, and there is such a massive dead spot and delay with that radio and 2 in 1 ESC, I replaced it and chucked them in the bin. I usually will keep spare radios in case, but yeah.. nah. Not this one
😂😂
LOL you are so right you cant win the fanboys will come out and attack if you have anything critical of their brand. I know its twice the price but the new Mojave Grom is way better its not very fast at 22mph but it is so much better than this its worth the price.
yes 100%. Biggest issue for us in the UK with anything horizon is stock. We are months behind everyone else with the actual cars and parts are a joke too.
😮😮😮
😂😂
I wouldn't even reviewed it
Someone had to.. people know now that it sucks 😂
I'd take it for Free and Upgrade it.
😂😂
Looks cheap and nasty and as you say the ftx tracer is a brilliant little thing for pretty much the same money
for a 5 years old is fine
Still better options!!
They went down hill fast it seems. And yes the body paint. Terrible.
Not very good for wltoys so far it's a shame it's not 3s brushless system and oil shocks I was thinking of buying it but not now I'm better off buying the hyper go monster truck much better they not going to sell that well the speed is bad for 3s 😢😢
Yea I think there are so many better options out there
No thsnks
Wltoys was always junk. The ones that were at all decent were bootleg clones of something else.
The 144001 was pretty good for the money until they doubled the price
@@beyondRC that’s a clone of the LCRacing car
@@roberttruesdell6151 all wltoys are clones of lcracing 😚
@@beyondRC exactly lol.
Yeah this thing is just a bunch of bottom of the barrel bits for a quick cash grab 😢
No.
Ricky, you know as well as I, that you're gonna have your haters. Moan away brother! ... This particular vehicle looks like the toy grade offerings you'll find at Walmart. In addition, it's way too expensive for what it is. Cheers!
Can’t please everyone 😂👍
This thing looks so bad......its gotta be a WLToys knock off !!🤣🤣
I wish it was. This is the best they have for us at the moment
GREAT VIDEO! GREAT GUY! TERRIBLE PRODUCT!!
I lost interest as soon as you dropped that on the floor!!! Seems like they've gone deaf to their customers!! We've had this conversation a few times now, haven't we, Ricky!!! 🤷🏻♂️
We sure have
What a garbage!toy grade ! Nikko has better looking and performing rc cars!
Terrible car , wl toys used to make decent small rc helis, whats happened
This cars is very bad I broke it on first run😅😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Junk😢
Terrible just plain bad!!
✌🏻😎🏴When was WLTOYS great? 😂. Why are you asking questions about quality changes & going back & forth with transmitters, technology, quality in metals & plastic & so on??? It’s like you have never ever read a single comment I have said about wltoys 😂. Just say “RC Masked Master only speaks the truth” 😂.
WLTOYS SUCKS 😂
The 144001 when it was £60 odd was brilliant value for the money. That was in 2020
Though 🤔
Eighty dollars is not incredibly cheap.
Sure is when it comes to rc cars..
