I can not tell you how much I love mini rc cars they are so much fun. there is something just so charming about them watching zoom back and forth
Yes I agree
My fist RC was one of those zip zaps that you could buy in a RadioShack. Then I owned a losi 1/32 truggy. Followed by the losi brushless 1/24 truggy/rally car. Recently the axial scx24 crawler. It’s the ability to RC indoors for me.
@@TomleyRC can u review hexmods it looks like xmods are making come back
@@GummyONSolana even the big one is a bit low quality compared to stuff in that price range generally but it’s nice to have all the extra parts to change and for $100 it’s nice. I would recommend a kyosho mini z or something like that if u wanna spend a bit more and get something that works really well
@@TKO593 yes me too! I was talking about those as well as RadioShack with my coworker. I didnt remember the name so thanks! I always wondered why things went bigger vs smaller... And I miss RadioShack!!
I got one because of this video and the drift tires! It's sooo much fun! One thing I've noticed is that if you set the front springs softer than the rear, the drifting becomes more predictable. Take out the spring spacers that live on top of the front springs. This promotes oversteer in real and rc cars. You'll find the car less likely to snap back out of a drift when the slip angle is small. There will be a really small amount of ground clearance but otherwise it makes sliding with those open diffs better
Just got one and it is so much fun with the drift wheels. Thanks for the tip with the front suspension. I would also check how smooth the diffs are. My back one was very sticky, so took it apart and managed to get it smoother. Made it much more predictable and easier to control.
@@r0binx I gotta try looking at the rear diff 😋
There is something weird with the link. Which model did you buy?
@@2cavas I got the k989
I use silicone earplugs to lock diffs. You can pinch it and mold it to the size and shape you want. It gives very little and works great 👍
You're one of several people who convinced me to pick this little guy up... I couldn't be happier. It's awesome, especially for the price!
Just FYI, I’m going to be super disappointed if, when I get mine, and I squeeze the tires, they don’t squeak.
Haha.. send it back if it doesn’t 😅
Yep if it happens Send it back with : “no squeaky?”
@@TomleyRCwhere did you get the track from
They are metal
@@Lil._Millsmetal can be squeaky. Haven't you heard Judas Priest? Breakin the law, breakin the law! 💀
I've got mine , going brushless got one way diff up front , solid fixed on the rear , so many upgrades for them , Awesome little rc drift bash around the house
Thanks dood, always a pleasure tuning in
Man I love your new shop Bro it has made such a difference in the ability of quick fire drift reviews like this one.
Got mine last week and my alloy drift wheels turned up yesterday. It's an awesome little thing!
I have the drift car with a carbon fiber chassis and aluminum rims. I replaced the electronics so I could use a better radio for smoother control when drifting. I hade to remove the casing of my receiver and bend the pins horizontally but It works pretty well. I’m still working on finding a better body for it.
These put me in mind of the X-Mods that were sold at Radio Shack years and years ago. I still have one of those floating around but I lost the controller ages ago.
YOOO I just found my X-Mod NSX need to get some batteries in it. They were so cool you could make them 4 wheel drive body kits a bunch of custom stuff.
@@ericsmith718 Awesome, I have the R34 with a ton of mods, lost all the original stuff along with the controller.
the micro infraction is definitely a fun truck! 👍😍
Great review! Had mine a couple weeks now. An absolute bargain for the money. If you're into your mini z's like me it's a great addition just for the body with some drift wheels on. Go buy one now!
Yes I agree.. they are a little faster than the standard Mini-Zs… and not quite as detailed. But still lots of fun!
you must have a good one or work for WL Toys, the three I bought were all faulty
@@triv7252 oh dear..yes I can agree they really aren't a great quality in terms of build. However had no real faults.. Motor gets hit hard full throttle no end of times and it's held up well.
Hi Tomley RC, that is an awesome small scale micro fun! I’ve got the Orlandoo Hunter Land Rover OHA32 chassis, and really enjoy running this indoors when the weather is pants! So this little RC is going to be fun as well. Thanks for showing us. 😊😉😁
No problem John. Glad you enjoyed it
Ordered it as soon as u saw it was on banggood, had it a couple of weeks now and I love it and the style. Definitely got enough lights on it. I've put a set of drift wheels and tyres on it and it's perfect for a living room drift 👌
It’s awesome fun isn’t it
Thank you for reading my comment tomleyRc. Definitely going to lock the rear diff like you mentioned. Currently customising the shell of the udirc breaker drift/rally truck. Keep up the awesome work and content.
How long did it take for them to ship yours? Ordered mine apr 27th and still haven’t seen it in the mail nor do they do a good job at giving tracking information to check on your orders
I usually lock my diffs with whippie cushion I just clean all grease out cut little circles to fit and put back together with it pressed in the gears bam locked and rebuild able
thin whoopie cushion rubber in the diff planetary's would lock about same as 1 mm sticky back foam sheeting.
7:35 so cool now that’s. Real looking drifting !! With the tires on it. 👌👌
Got mine last week so much fun on tiles in the house love it
Yes. Loads of fun
I love my little rally car from wltoys as shown in the video. It's still going strong its nearly bombproof , were as all my big cars are waiting on parts I can't get or broken waiting on parts 😭. Long live wltoys.
Agree… these things are awesome
Challenge except! I promise I can break it lol
Yeah, I want one. Was on the edge till you put the drift wheels on it. This thing looks like the cat's new toy. (She loves my SCX24) My dining room and kitchen floor is perfect for some low speed drift fun! Love your channel, have fun.
Haha.. awesome toy for the cats 😅
The k969 is awesome have had mine for two years and baash it! Indoors and out and all ive had to replace is one axle. Def gonna check this out. Have a couple 1/10 scales but the 1/28 is just so much fun in a different way
Do you know how to make this new wltoy truck lock diffs?
Just picked one of these up from a growing in popularity app for the cheapest I've ever paid for an rc of any kind.... So I'm terribly excited to see what it is just right out of the box!! For the price I paid, I can afford several fun upgrades for it for next to nothing! Great video, glad we got the v2 transmitter!! Eager for this thing to show up! Keep up the great work!
Temu?
This is exactly what i was lookin for😎.
That looks crazy high quality
love these things, like a slot car without the slot! Now if I hadn't filled up my shop with woodworking equipment lol
That would be a fun thing to race indoor now when its winter.
Yes 😎
According to beaver hobby, the Mini Z metal diffs and driveshafts fit right in these. Definitely picking one up.
Do Mini Z bodies fit?
Maybe they do -- I bought some aftermarket diffs for the K989, and they do NOT fit. The drive cups were too short. Maybe I should try the ones meant for Mini Zs.
@@notreallydaedalus just get longer dogbones. Beaver addresses this issue
You’re right. I do need this truck!
😎
Thanks man.. will buy it.
Reminds me of the Super Street micro RC cars that Radio Shack used to sell back in the early 2000's.
No they were garbage gimmic things. these herr are cheap 💩 old. Carisma 1/24 looks the way to go. Like a mk2 of the losi 24th series. But with the body shell selection losi owners dreamed of. Even I'm tempted by the lanca evo 4. Then the escort mk2 clear body later. But its still 120£+ and is it really gonna get used this time?
As someone who wanted to get into RC cars as a kid but couldn't cuz I didn't have money for a 300€ miniz, this makes me want to get into it
man I shouldve bought a few of these on my last RC splurge.. til next time. Thanks for sharing!
Thats pretty cool, I'm not hardcore into RC, but the components remind me of those old school XMods from Radio Shack, but obviously much better.
Thanks for being part of the community
Wow! And nearly perfectly round face on this fella. Amazing! Nicely done 👍 ✅✅✅ 👏👏
This looks pretty fun. get a few buddies together and go at it. This would be great to have about 6 of these at a kids birthday party and let them go at it.
Great review! Def gotta grab one
What material did you use for the sides of your racetrack? I want to build a 1/28 scale track that I can set up and take down easily
I bought one this week. It’s awesome 🎉
Very cool. Where do you get that barrier material for creating those track walls?
That’s class!!!! I want one. Great review mate
Think I'll be having one of these
Love it! Would you recommend this over the larger SG/UDIRC 1603 models?
Great now I need one of these too thanks 🤣
awsome vid, i just picked up one of these and i am curious as to the little mode button? what does it do? the manual doesnt really show that mode button, i puched it and dont see any differences that are noticeable
well i be gettin one or 5 of these pretty sweet
That’s an awesome set of lights. 💯👍👍
Well for starters since I've been following you, I've got the redcat ,2 hyper gos and now 2 1:28 WL toys. But straight to the point! You got something different than me! The drift I can barely manually push it and the same with the blue buggy but not as bad on the buggy. The motors are ungodly tight up against the diff! 😢😢😢
WL toys isn't a bad company for being a cheaper brand. I haven't bought one in years, but I keep seeing the new ones come out and they look so much better these days.
Yes, I agree 👌
very reputable company tbh, yes they are on the cheaper side, but the performance you get for $60 is unmatched in my opinion
Tomley I gotta ask, is this the same size as the tamiya mini 4wd? I was planning to buy this and put a body shell or cowl from that tamiya line
What do use as the track walls that’s great
Those are like the ones they used to sell at radio shack. You could buy all kinds of upgrades for them including lights, wheels and tires, body kits etc. I can’t remember what brand they were but I had a Supra that was cool as hell
Maybe xmods...
Got mine and another OTW
Did you find a link to the drift tires? I'm not seeing it. I ordered the car but would like to order the drift tires. I think the drift tires would work well on rougher surfaces like asphalt or carpet.
Awsome car
Enjoy your mini/micro vehicles in a clean area. We board dogs, have a cat & long hair. I got tired of constantly cleaning hair out of the tires. At home I can only drive a little car about a minute or 2 before a wheel starts to bind.
Which one actually drives better, this one or the wltoys k989, or isn't there any difference at all?
That sick!
I just ordered one. I can't wait. What are you using for the barriers and cones on you track in this video? I would love to get some so I can set up a track quickly in my garage that could be torn down at night.
I just got mine a week ago in the mail I absolutely love it I also have a WL toys mini tunnel Hull w09 I love that as well great quality for the price. Do u have a link or can u tell me what drift tires and wheels you're using?
The Mini, Mini In*raction. Awesome little thing. And the lights!! 👍🏻😎
I really have limited space to run this at home. Should I go for a 1/76 instead?
Great Review Bro! Really nice car! Have a great day!! Nice video!
Hello again Tomley, Collected my XKs 284131 yesterday...Great product for so little cost. Can you tell me if the differential's are meant to be Limited slip or Locked as mine seems to be?
Is it possible to use the rally car k989 body or other similar bodies to change the looks?
That was cool
If I get multiple of the RC car in your video for like an indoor race, will the control interfere with each other? Do they each have a specific frequency? Can that be changed? How many cars players I can have max? Thx !!!
I tried to lock the rear differential on this but it just causes it to spin out really easily.
I love your vids man! "Absolutely love them" xD
Thanks alot, just made me click the order button on one of these..... 😁
Nice 😎👌
Do you need to buy lock nuts as well as the wheels or do the lock nuts already on the car work?
If you can get 10 to 15 guy's with those to race together it would look so much like the real thing. I would buy one of those if somebody in the neighborhood were to set up a track in their garage, and it Tokyo drifts like in the move. "So cool"
You can find those drift wheels on Amazon!!! I think they’re under $15 with shipping
Do you have a link? I tried looking, but no luck. TIA!
Great pressie for kids at Xmas.
Omg the amount of little white trucks you have with the cab over the front wheels you have like every size nice
Long live Kei Trucks
what camera do you have here 5:55
Will the drift tyres scratch a polished hardwood floor? We just got our house floor redone but this is very tempting!!
“Loo-kahit.” Love love the accent ❤
Siap boleh tukar rim gayezzzz, wonderful 👍🥳🎉😘
Greetings from Germany. Great work. Is it better than the SG1603 and SG1604? I see that the radio transmitter (Remote) on the SG series has more knobs than this radio on the WLTOYS. Please let me know which one is better as they are all in the same price range.
Cool little bugga 🔥👍✌️
Lol my husband sent me this 🤣 but man now I kinda do want one... I can see my kitchen turning into a track one day.
What type of connectors do they use for this RC car to connect LEDs and where can I buy them
I've been looking at redcat shredder and the other one forgot its name wondering if you have checked them out or any of your followers have one..
do someone know which wheels I can use that it is drifting, also would be nice with a link
Cute haha! I also need this one LOL
You can lock the diffs or buy the metal locking ones I believe they make for the mini z. Pretty sure it’s a direct drop in
Chewing gum 👍
@@albagardenmaintenance9518 sticky tack for hanging posters mixed with playdo is my go to
Great video! Just got mine in the mail yesterday. Mine seems to brake whenever I let off the throttle. Is this normal for these little guys or is there something wrong with mine?
I think that’s how they are, it’s the resistance on the motor… it doesn’t free wheel
Nice vid looks a good little car
You could almost imagine it as the Hoonicorn car! In fact, u could probably mod it to make it look like the hoonicorn lol
HI PHIL I LOVE IT AMAZING LITTLE TRUCK. GREAT FUN.🇬🇧💂✌️👍
Please help, How do you charge this thing? on a computer? or sellphone charge block?
Cool truck, nice unboxing!
Thank you
there are 4 modes in the transmitter but doesn't seem to change anything from one to the others
Nice car
Cool! What do you use for the track barrier?
Can you upgrade the battery to make it faster?
I can't make up my mind. Should I buy this one or the UDIRC 1602 Brushless version. They both cost the same money. I am gonna use it mostly indoors and occasionaly in a skate park. I know the smaller will be better indoors but "brushless" for the same money????
Would you ever review some mini 4wd cars ? I got interested in during a play though of yakuza 0 they are abit of an acquired taste but it would be great to see you push them to the limit
That's awesome buddy I've got 9 tickets on the felony I haven't won anything off there yet my mates won the scx24 a tamiya scooby and a tool set do hopefully its my turn for the felony haha hobbycomps is awesome 👌
Good luck dude
