The gearing and the brushless kv specs. They got it a bit wrong on the V1 - so it had a lot of cogging torque issues. The V1 was good up in speed though, but it just couldn’t get going properly from a stand still in grass etc. - and even had a lot of stuttering on flat surfaces when starting.
Hi Mikael - you had me wondering what was wrong there, mate! Easiest fix ever! The buggy looks good in all departments, looking forward to see this baby run! Wishing you a smashing Sunday as always - cheers! 😁👌👍
Hi Mark! Thank you for watching! Ha ha, yeah, as always I just need a new brain to fix my RC cars 😅 Most of the times there is nothing wrong with the car. And yeah, looks very good this one. Having a good Sunday here. Sunny. Been out with my daughter and the HPI e-firestorm. Hoping you are having a smashing Sunny Sunday as well 😊🙃
Thank you Jeremy! Ha ha, I’ve been there several times. Especially when the mind is more occupied with the camera and filming 😅😊 Yeah, runs good. Now I need some editing time
Nice video Mikael. WLtoys have certainly improved since they released my 12428. But it's still going strong so that shows just how good this brand can be 🙂👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Derek! Yeah, this looks to be a fine car. Hoping it will work well. This is version II. Version I had some issues. Hoping you are having a great sunny Sunday in England. Was out today with my daughter and my new blue beauty, HPI e-Firestorm
Hiya Mikael. Certainly looks good for the money. Ah the old throttle limit caught you out. I forget that some transmitters have that feature. Nice video mate. I enjoyed the ravey music from about 4 minutes in. Hope you are having a good Sunday. Best wishes to you and yours 🙂
Hejsa Pete! Yeah, and just had it out for a speed test. Not quite 75 kph (as expected with these Chinese specs) but certainly the fastest WLToys I’ve had. Fun for the money 😊 👍🏻 Ha ha, yeah, my mind. Occupied more by filming than expecting the dials and troubleshooting quickly. He he, good music. Bad in a good way 😅 Best of Sundays to you and yours, Pete.
Oh, separate receiver and ESC now? Very nice, except for the badly cut cable tie on the receiver, heh... But still really good news from WLToys, this would be a really good beginner RC car, decent hobby grade stuff. And it's one of the coolest buggies I've seen in a long while. However, my money is with HBX, I'm looking at the new 901 12th scale brushless from them, it could be my new springtime basher, maybe... Nice video as always, Mikael, really worth watching!
Hejsa Mads! Tusind tak! Ahh, good catch! Yeah, real receiver ❤️😍 Means more to me than a brushless motor to be honest. And yes, my kind of thinking when it comes to hobby time. Go with the heart. Performance are for racers 😊 I love my Tamiyas and my old HBX cars too. Uhh. - a new 1/12. I’m so not updated since kid no. 3 arrived. I’ll be updated again 13 years from now when the kids are bigger 😅😅 I’m gonna check that 901 out on the net. Or your Channel if you decide on it. And Thanks again, bro.
Hi there and some great looking 1/12th scale buggies. Oh a it must be the cheapest fix of all time? We’ve all done it! Gone chasing for a problems, then realised, dah!! The D/R has been turned down! Great video. Take care, best wishes 😊😉😊
This is such an excellent video. Great sharp and clear video in high def. Thank you. What is the difference between 124017 vs 124019 please? Thank you again
You will need 4 AAA batteries instead of AA's for the new radio that was sent with mine... nobby tires don't work well on pavement, get some street tires instead for better control
It’s always a good idea for durability. But works fine without a metal servo. Beach is always tricky. Sand and salt water. On your own risk - but be sure to clean it up fast ☺️
I love these disc style wheels come on these rc, s cool looking buggy i like very much i think buggys are straight forward rc, s well able to take a trashing and stay in tact without nothing to extreme but yeah awsome bro iv buggy its FTX RTR COMMET ALOY BODY CAGE FRAME I ENJOY THAT ITS COOL👍👍THANKS FOR SHARING KEEP THE GOOD WORK UP ILL BE WATCHING FOR MORE MY FREIND
What`s the speed of this car when its set on the minimum throttle trim setting ? This would be useful to know if a beginner wants to try or when you are at a smaller location Thanks :)
can you please recommend a battery that will make car go fasterrand last longer than the stock battery? i just ordered today stock battery only last 8 minutes?
For battery life, just get more batteries. The pause with the switch between batteries will even helpp the motor/ESC to cool down. I've seen others speed run these with a 3S battery. But not sure the stock ESC/motor can take a 3S in a long off road run in summer time.
@@NordicRC Oh interesting. I have a big problem with it though. Out of the box the right wheel's toe is big time to the right just moving the car to the right and left in reverse obviously. Now the ONLY rod that adjusts with the center hole is the servo linkage. The normal bottom linkage on the wheels don't adjust at all just pop out. When they do pop out they don't twist at all no matter what it's like they're glued. I'm so stuck on what to do here. The rear is like this too... Edit: I used a vise to get them finally unstuck but for the life of me I cant get the toe settings right for it to go straight. Been at it for hours. How would I make the toe perfectly zero or perfectly negative on both sides for it to go straight? So lost here, sorry for all the questions mate.
@Nordic RC Visions do I did charge the battery and still the car only engages while giving 1/4 throotle and throttle trim is all the way up plus braking is super bad. Is it the esc or is it the radio please help!
What's different between 124017 and 124017 V2 dud? Thanks

@@NordicRC Thanks
Btw is it V1 esc can used on V2 ?
I has V2 but my esc was broke/burning coz drop in the water 😁
@@a6usm439 get a 60A/80A waterproof esc for 20-30$ . the stock esc is way to expensive for no reason ( 45-55$ )

Looking forward to the run my friend!👍😊
Thank you Jeremy! Ha ha, I’ve been there several times. Especially when the mind is more occupied with the camera and filming 😅😊 Yeah, runs good. Now I need some editing time
Mmm - your videos are so lovely to watch with the crisp white background and lovely lighting!
Thank you so much for the compliment! Yeah, when I have nothing interesting to say, the lighting quality better be there at least 😅😅
@@NordicRC Ha ha! You pinned your explanation of the differences between the V1 and the V2 in the comments - that was interesting!

This is such an excellent video. Great sharp and clear video in high def. Thank you.
What is the difference between 124017 vs 124019 please? Thank you again
Thank you so much! Appreciate it. The difference is colors and then a brushed vs brushless motor/ESC. Got a video comparing them ☺️
Beautiful review
Thank you so much!
Nice Video 😎👍🏻
Thank you! Unboxed and ready for a run 😊
You will need 4 AAA batteries instead of AA's for the new radio that was sent with mine... nobby tires don't work well on pavement, get some street tires instead for better control
Thanks for the tips!
Hallo what for servo shall i put one with metal thanks
Can i go to beach with him not i the water of course greetings
It’s always a good idea for durability. But works fine without a metal servo. Beach is always tricky. Sand and salt water. On your own risk - but be sure to clean it up fast ☺️
Hi, i'm a completely beginner. That's the question: does a 3s battery life longer than a 2s life? Or does it just affect power? thx from Italy
Hello Queen! You are right, it just affects the power/voltage. The ‘mah’ is what determines the capacity/run time.
@@NordicRC grazie 🙂
Geeeee's what's the problem with yr BUGGY that Right hand front wheel is not sitting Straight at all .
Comes like that. Takes two minutes to adjust some fine toe-in.
I love these disc style wheels come on these rc, s cool looking buggy i like very much i think buggys are straight forward rc, s well able to take a trashing and stay in tact without nothing to extreme but yeah awsome bro iv buggy its FTX RTR COMMET ALOY BODY CAGE FRAME I ENJOY THAT ITS COOL👍👍THANKS FOR SHARING KEEP THE GOOD WORK UP ILL BE WATCHING FOR MORE MY FREIND
Thank you Keith my friend! Yeah, disc style wheels are a winner!
Hallo do you grease the bewaring and the differential. Thank you
If you got stock bushings, grease them. If ball bearings no. Yeah, diff needs grease.
U have any idea what size 3s battery will fit in this i just ordered it dont know much about the hobby thanks
Not tried it on 3S. But yeah, needs to be small and not much bigger than the 2S.
Hello. Does it has 2S/3S LiPo cut off protection?
Definitely a 2S. I haven’t tried it on 3S. Fast enough on the stock 2S.
Looks like you can modify to take a longer battery pack that holds more power.
Yeah, one could do that. Not much room under the body and in width though
Nice 👊🏻👍🏻
Thanks bro!
What`s the speed of this car when its set on the minimum throttle trim setting ? This would be useful to know if a beginner wants to try or when you are at a smaller location
Thanks :)
Ahh! Very low I would suspect. 10 kph? I think I got some other WLToys down to that. Slow enough for a beginner definitely.
can you please recommend a battery that will make car go fasterrand last longer than the stock battery? i just ordered today stock battery only last 8 minutes?
Better get multiple batteries. The pause with the switch between batteries will even help your motor/ESC to cool down a little.
Super like, 😃👍
😊👍🏻☺️
Found you here I'm love rc buggy ❤️🐈got 144001 but it was broken 5 months ago now want pick new toys for playing
What’s the best battery to use to get faster speed and more battery lifec than stock battery without having to modify the battery tray at all
For battery life, just get more batteries. The pause with the switch between batteries will even helpp the motor/ESC to cool down. I've seen others speed run these with a 3S battery. But not sure the stock ESC/motor can take a 3S in a long off road run in summer time.
wait for 104002
That could be fun too :-)
I just got the version 2 and the brakes are super strong how do you adjust them?
Sometimes that can be difficult with these RTR set ups.
I just unboxed mine. Why does one of the rear wheels turn backwards while the other rear wheel turn forwards. How does that even work?
There’s a differential in the middle of the axles. Same as in your 1/1 car. So don’t worry.
Search for differential gear. Lots of videos on CZcams on how it works.

How to differentiate between v1 and v2?
Gear ratio and KV on the motor.
YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO CHARGE THE BATTERY BEFORE YOU START... THEY DONT FULLY CHARGE THE BATTERY RTR.
Yes. Of course. Why do you say that?
@@NordicRC my mistake, should of watched to the end
But yeah. Always charge. A LiPo always comes storage charged by the factory (around 3.7v per cell) - if it’s fully charged they did it wrong .
Mine has throttle trim all the way up, but it snaps after quarter of throttle why is that please help!
No idea what is wrong. Maybe the battery? Had mine out for the first run. Works perfect.
@Nordic RC Visions do I did charge the battery and still the car only engages while giving 1/4 throotle and throttle trim is all the way up plus braking is super bad. Is it the esc or is it the radio please help!
Can I send you a video about what exactly happens?
@Nordic RC Visions plus I have the 144001 and that thing is super responsive like extremely sensitive on throttle unlike this one Its really annoying
You must check to see please if it is that fast.
Hi Brad. It is fast! Fastest WLToys I’ve had.
@@NordicRC what's the top speed in mph?
@@bradkalman2353 40 mph,stock gearing and battery,but I’ve seen other videos of people using 3s and getting close to 60mph
