Our description
The WLtoys 124017 (version V2) is one of the best-selling budget RC cars ever and fills our gap for „as much speed and hobby-grade as possible for little money“. The 1:12 buggy runs 4WD with a 2845 brushless motor and 60 A ESC at around 75 km/h, has an aluminium chassis, oil-filled shocks and metal differentials. The key point for placing it: unlike cheap toy-grade cars it is genuine hobby-grade – the servo, ESC, motor and receiver are separate individual components, so it is cheap to repair and upgrade, and spare parts are dirt-cheap and available almost everywhere (Banggood, AliExpress, Amazon). It comes ready to run (RTR) with a 2.4 GHz radio, LiPo battery and charger. Honestly placed: 75 km/h is a lot for absolute beginners, run time is short at ~8 minutes per battery, and the included charger is basic; the radio and electronics are budget level, not brand class, and with direct import there is quality variance and confusing version labels (V2/V8 depending on the seller). The V2 at least fixed the „cogging“ (juddering on take-off) of the original. Bottom line, it is the honest bridge between toy-grade and pricey brand hobby-grade (Traxxas & co.): fast, robust enough and cheap to run.
