Nice! You've made me so happy about my 2am AliExpress impulse buy, can't wait to drive it. I ordered the 284131 teeny infraction before any reviews were up and got the same warm fuzzies when you uploaded your video as it crossed the Pacific ocean to me.

It runs nicely on the tarmac , wasn't expecting it to handle that well because of wheelbase like you mentioned. And actually close to claimed speed . Bit eratic on the grass lol .

Brilliant as always, I noticed the camera work getting better and better over the past months, great job Phil, keep up the informative and fun entertainment. John

Great video Phil, you were having a genuine blast with that speed demon! Our rc club had over 40 of the brushless Edit: I meant "Brushed* not brushless" wltoys buggies that we all used to have Sunday carpet races. They are fun especially because they were all stock. Lots of racing banter which made it really entertaining. They are perfect for club carpet races as rentals.

Wow… hat off for wltoys, how they improve and evolves through the products… many people give up for the 1/18 to put them into racing… i do my self with my a979b with heavy mod to make it proper to race. Off course there are still minus points especially for the material… but that’s what keep the price is really affordable especially for entry level, imho Thanks Phil for the review video 👍

That's an impressive little car. When the person driving is laughing it's usually a good sign. I expected it to be pulling wheelies constantly, but it handled well. Thanks for sharing.

Good review . They seem to be raising the prices on these "budget" RCs almost daily now . Luckily , I was able to get some fantastic deals on some of these vehicles , before prices started to rise . Better to stick with "name brand "now is some cases though .

It's a really cool buggy. It looks fun but I wonder how many more times wltoys plans to resize the 124017 V2. It seems to be the same motor and gearing as that and the 144010. The 144010 is my favorite so far. It handled really well.

very tempting that one looks bud 👍

I was real tempted to buy this car and I still might later on. But I'm about to do a A959 custom build. Just ordered a silver all metal body. I'll show it here when I get finished. Wait till you see my surprise, rare body shell I found for it. Thing is going to be sharp. Only reason I'm not going with mad max right now is in not finding hardly any parts, no upgraded parts and how fast it goes just seems like it really needs upgraded parts or your going to stay broke down. I'm going to try and make my A959 do 80 mph with the performance parts, bigger battery and wheels I should be real close to it

I just took mine for a bash yesterday! super impressed with this thing!

RC cars have actually gotten cheaper if you consider inflation. There were many brushed rc buggies that would have equaled about £500 these days and they were kits. Now days you can get a good brushless rtr for way cheaper

That thing looks awesome!

Looks like everything I liked about the v2 of the 124016 once they did it properly The v1 kept people away from a great car there.

oo separate receiver? so I could remove it and plug in a receiver from one of my programmable tx's?

not bad i like the way it performed.

For the price, Id stick with the 144010, same thing but slightly bigger. This new one is a awesome replacement for the a959 though if they can get the price down.

I cant get mince to reverse, is this how it is meant to be or did it come out of the box broken in some way?

a959 tires did not have foams, do those ones here? seeing they changed hex to 12mil they maybe added foams too

How to you keep the shock towers and shocks good when they stick out like that?

Can you tell which one to choose and why.. this 184016 or the new 124007? Bigger or smaller ang whats the benefit of having 1:12 vs 1:18

Awesome video that buggy might be the buggy I’m gonna get for my collection I’m missing a buggy also it’s shocks look like the sg shocks

congrats on 100k ✌️

Brilliant video Phil loves there cars I've upgraded all my wltoys buggy with brushless motor systems make it top speed of 80mph bud 👍😀

Hi Phil, is this the same wheelbase as the A959 or is it a totally different car?

Knock knock, just watched a tube about coging. But it was from Bali and had no way of translating. He used a programe card to set the motor to strong, then reversed the polarity of the motor and dimanteled the controler to swap trigger pos and neg to correct throttle action. It seemed to be the best response I have seen. Could you posibly try this out and post - mine is in the mail and will be my first car. Cheers

Very cool

I have a 1/16 scale 2 speed .07 nitro buggy and it whips all my other buggy and a blast to drive though I don't jump it like the big boys.

Tacon rc, WLToys (hobby grade stuff) and LC Racing are built on the same platform, it would be interesting to know who designed this stuff as well as witch Chinese company manufacturers it. I have numerous Tacon rc cars and have ordered from LC racing and WLToys suppliers for parts. They are by far the best bang for the buck. Tacon Pursuer (1/10 on road car) added foam tires, 4s-ESC, 4s battery, stock motor, 78 mph. I highly recommend any of these cars just not the very cheapest versions. 👍👍👍

I have a question. Is there any brand you recommend outside of Traxxis? I've heard so many but it's overwhelming as I've just dipped my toe into the hobby.

When I had covid I snagged a 144001 off amazon for $90 CDN that thing is loads of fun....it does rip stock right out of the box. They've all gone up by $60 cdn now.....

Hello, Do you know if 144001 metal parts fit 184016 ? @Tomley RC ?

I got the wltoys a959b with a modified 8 turn 540 motor, and a fan cooled 380 amp esc aluminum turn bulkles and a fan cooled on the motor, don't know how fast it is but it's scary it's not normal anymore

It is a buggy that shows great performance for its size. The exchange rate is so high these days that it is difficult to buy. I guess I'll have to wait a while before buying it.😁😁😁

Will 144001 shocks fit this tomley ? Great Video mate best RC channel on YT

What weight oil did you use?

My biggest QUESTION with this car is, where are the replacement parts? What happens if I break a swing-arm or shock tower and don't want to put aftermarket aluminum ones on? I even tried the WLTOYS website and despite listings for dozens of cars they do not list the 184016. They do list an 184012 but it's far different from this one. I've searched everywhere. Any suggestions?

For me, an off road buggy not being able to handle off road driving is not of interest. However, it is quite a fast little thing. Great video yet again Phil!

I should toss 2/3 of my collection. This is faster than nearly everything I own 😂

It's like 121 quid cost more than a brushless 144 witch I don't get :s ....I know it's the 35amp verison but I brought that ESC for 2.39 from Amazon start this year..I don't get why it cost so much more when the combo they use is so cheap

I might have to get a couple for me and the kid we have some bigger rc vehicles but these we can throw in a. Backpack and take with us purdy much anywhere

At least yours worked, another reviewer had the ESC fail on his after a few seconds.

So I have to ask cause I lost one, does anyone know where I can get a new wltoys 184016 front dogbone drive shaft. I am not able to find one out on ebay or a listing on wltoys. if anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated.

Hey, what's the part number for this new car?
