Starting RC with a Cheap Buggy? – WL Toys 124008)

Описание: Is getting into RC cars in 2025 still beginner-friendly?
I’ve been chasing this hobby for two years, trying to build the skills (and the confidence) to someday drive on the biggest RC track in Hong Kong. This video documents my honest beginner experience with the WL Toys 124008 — from unboxing, testing, first track runs, comparisons with real touring cars, crashes, fixes, and the reality of learning RC in 2025.

In this video, I cover:
• Why I chose the WL Toys 124008 over a touring car
• How it performs on small tracks as a beginner
• What makes buggies different from touring cars
• Cost, parts availability, and upgrade paths
• What breaks first (and how easy the fixes are)
• Beginner mistakes I’m still learning from
• Whether RC is still easy to start in 2025
If you’re thinking about getting into RC or looking for a realistic beginner perspective, this should help you understand what to expect.
