Yes I did. But there was no indication of what version it was when I ordered it.

One of the best rc car ever, 43 mph out of the box, that's unbelievable, every time I use this car, I'm impressed, $189.99 is a great price. I think I'm gonna buy the 124016 version...

Thank you so much for going over the differences. I had this very beast waiting for me in front of my door on xmas morning (Banggood delivery is awesome here in Canada) and well this video and the one from the RC Kiwis made me go 'oh did I just get the V1 just as they release the V2??' and was getting a bit bummed, but then I saw the comparison. I have the blue anodized portion on the motor and I have the blue wheel on the remote, V2 baby woooo! Happier now, no tweaking needed to have my fun. Explains why I didn't notice much in the way of cogging either like everyone mentioned.

I bought it from your link to make sure I get the v2. Holy cow, it’s taking forever ever to ship.

Pretty awesome car, Tomley! Great bashing and review! 😃 Happy new year! And stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

I'm still using my 124019 which ive made brushless. Using a 5700kv 3650 a 120a hobbywing esc. But I'm using mod 1 pinions for spur. 2s I'm getting 50+ mph They are a good platform to upgrade with minimal cost.

I've got one of these and upgraded to a hobby wing 120A esc and surpass 4300 kv and honestly I can't run a whole pack through it without tearing something up. It's super fast but fragile, If they had a 1/8 scale on this platform it would be awesome.

Ok great review now I will start saving up for one,was thinking about the v1 but now I’m convinced that I will get the v2 thx 🙏

I have the brushed 124018 and I greased the diffs inside and outside and you should do that too because your diffs would be a lot stronger and you have smooth gears not grinding gears in the vid.

Happy Christmas - good to see they fixed the issue, our original 124017 wasnt to mad on the cogging either

cool rc and awesome run,great review

wow that took me by surprise bud :) always on cue with the handling comments 🤣👍

Wow! I didnt know there was a v2 of this car.

What battery should I get to make the time I can yous it more than like 30-40 minutes

Luckily having a V1 anyone can buy motor+support+19t already mounted and from the factory. Swap is really simple and the cost is around 20 euros. You still keep old transmitter, but the range is longer than my eyes field so, it is ok. Unfortunately V2 the most of the time is shipped in a big white box and not in the carton. So it is in any case a bargain to me. Thank you for you nice and interesting videos

Will the V2 have a lower top speed because of the gearing? I haven't seen any 3s speed runs with the V2

This buggy needs a radio with expodential in it for the steering. I love it. Never getting rid of it.

Hi Tomley. Checked your site. The v2 advertised doesn’t have the blue wheel on the transmitter or the blue engine mount. Is this the upgrade model you are show casing. Cheers 🇦🇺

Do this model esc can use nihm battery?

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?

Good speed!!! If i put a ESC Hobbywing Ezrun Wp SC8 120A on the stock motor with a 3S, will it make it more stable for 3S? And if i want it a little more speed, how many T, metal, spur gear do i need? Thanks in advance.

Do you have a video of this Rc on 3S?

Actually is 45a or 60a esc ,if i put 3s on it , is safe or not ?

It goes like heck. Though as i have 2 x 144001's not sure i have a place in my garage for it. The desert buggy version though.....

Didn't think the sound was bad when u went out to drive the rc. Was the sound quality great no but heard everything u said just fine. I think I'll have to get one. Have the wltoy 144001 and the only problem I have with it is it wants to roll over all the time when I turn even if I slow down it still rolls almost have to stop to turn so I dont roll it, but I'm also a newbie to rc so that could be most of the problem. Plus my Jack Russell loves chasing it so if I'm not fast enough he rips into it which I don't mind I have two shells one I us with him and the other is a good one. Awesome video ill definitely watch more.

Do these cars have a fail cutoof switch incase it takes off by itself

Hello. Sorry but I speak very little English. the cogging problems are solved with this v2? are the differentials durable? what to put in it? Rather oil or fat? Thanks for the answers. Hello from France :)

Don’t suppose you know the best place to buy this tv car. I found it on one site but people were saying it needs camber adjusted and gogs greased

I have the 124018 brushed. Like anything fast, you need spare parts. I suggest getting spare parts for the front end. After all it's the portion that takes the hit. I had to 3d print the oval plastic part that holds the pin for lower a arm in the front. Not available as a replacement part. After all I like my buggy. Really fun.

Driveshaft length, body shell and chassis plate differ in size between 1/12 and 1/14 variants. That said most 144001 parts are compatible with 124017. Getting parts is cheap, however shipping can take some time (20-25 days). I just bought a second 124017 when there was a really good deal on it to use for parts. The quality is excellent for the price but eventually you need some spare parts....

Hello. you only get it with 45a esc. I think with a weaker engine. Banggood will ship model with random motor I believe.

Does it come with a charger?

Considering buying this as my first RC. However as a beginner I'm thinking maybe its TOO fast to control in the beginning. Can I adjust the topspeed in the controller.
