WLTOYS BEST CHEAP RC Buggy of all time? NOT ANYMORE!!

Welcome back to the channel!

Today we take another look at the extremely popular WLTOYS 144001 and find out if it is still a worthy option in 2022!

These Cheap RC buggies are known for being durable, fast and ideal platforms to upgrade straight out the box!

They arent perfect and they certainly aren't the best but they used to be one of the cheapest GOOD options to get you into the RC hobby!

Unfortunately with increased shipping/tax costs these buggies now cost a lot more than they used to which makes me wonder… are they even still worth it?

The 144001 featured in this video is my original 144001 from when I first started my channel but I have since replaced the body, servo and ESC!

Everything else on my buggy is stock!

Brushless RTR version here: https://uk.banggood.com/custlink/vKvp8cNq8v

So is the WLTOYS 144001 still a good option in 2022?

If you can find one cheap enough then yes but I would definitely consider the brushless RTR as that does offer more of a complete ready to go package without having to make any major modification.

It's also more than fast enough being 2s and 3s ready.

I love these little buggies as they are easy to transport and throw in a backpack ready to bash
anywhere!
