Talking basics WLToys 10428 & 12428

I make videos I would want to see and try to provide information I wish I had known, so I hope this helps.
If you've been wondering which one is for you, this video should provide you with some information to aid in making an informed decision.

From my experience, if you are a novice and shy to working on your RC, stick with the 12428; It's easier to work on, has available replacement parts and is less expensive.

I had my 12428 for nearly 2 years before something broke and it was my servo that went out. The next thing to go was my motor, followed by the transmitter, and despite my best efforts, I was unable to repair it.

instead to buying a replacement transmitter I decided to upgrade the electronics from the 5 wire to the more common and available 3 wire system, using a Hobbywing 1080, Axial 35 Turn motor, Spektrum A500 servo with the DumboRC Transmitter and Reciever.

Total cost was under $200 US 🇺🇸 for the RC and Upgraded parts

When I purchased my 10428, I was excited and quickly frustrated. straight out of the box, I had issues. First the shift servo went out and then the gears stripped. I was really disappointed in it after having such a good experience with the 12428.

While it's been a learning experience working on, repairing and upgrading them I wasn't expecting it so soon into owning them.

If cleaning & repairing aren't your thing, I would suggest another hobby. We used RC as a learning tool for Homeschooling which is fun and educational.

I hope this find you well.

BTW: I have some available WLToys parts available if anyone is interested.

Thanks again, it's been a blast.
