Wltoys 124017 Brushless 4WD High-Speed RC Car
The Wltoys 124017 is a brushless 4WD remote control car with a stated top speed of 75 km/h, roughly 47 mph. It runs on a high-strength aluminum alloy chassis with full zinc alloy gears and oil-filled shock absorbers, and the electronic speed control, receiver, and servo are separate units. Two 7.4V 2200mAh batteries come in the box, so you can run one while the other charges. The speed and drivetrain make this a car for experienced hobbyists, older teens, and adults rather than a first RC car.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a good first RC car?
Not really. At 75 km/h with a brushless motor and 4WD, it rewards some prior RC experience. It suits hobbyists, older teens, and adults who already know how to handle a fast car.
How long can I drive before recharging?
Each 7.4V 2200mAh battery runs about 8 minutes at full throttle, so the two included packs give roughly 16 minutes of driving. A full charge takes about 3 hours.
Why do the front tires look slightly toe-out?
That alignment is intentional. It adds grip through turns and helps the car drift and stay stable at speed. You can fine-tune it with the trim buttons on the transmitter.
How far does the remote reach?
The control range is about 100 meters, roughly 330 feet, so keep the car within clear line of sight while driving.
How should I look after the batteries?
Recharge before a pack runs fully flat, take the battery out of the car to charge, and charge packs one at a time. For storage, disconnect the battery and leave it partially charged.
Why does the chassis have small marks, and what is the film on the body?
The brushed metal chassis can pick up light surface marks in transit, which does not affect how the car runs. The body shell also ships with a protective film, so peel it off before the first run.
