In a blast from the past, Tomley RC revisits the WL Toys A959B buggy, a forgotten relic in the world of RC cars. Once a budget-friendly option with a punchy brush motor, the A959B was quickly overtaken by the superior 144001 model, leaving it in the dust. But fear not, WL Toys didn't throw in the towel just yet. They unleashed a series of brushless versions, pushing the boundaries of speed and performance. Enter the X12S, a 12-scale brushless beast that promises to reignite the thrill of the chase.
Priced at $169.99, the X12S comes loaded with top-notch components like a 3600 KV motor, 45 amp ESC, and a 2200mAh 3S lipo battery. With its sleek metal chassis, adjustable settings, and oil shocks, this buggy means business. But the real test lies in its performance on the track. Initial speed tests reveal a respectable 52mph with a speed pinion, surpassing expectations and hinting at untapped potential.
As Tomley RC delves deeper into the X12S's capabilities, thoughts of a daring project start to brew. Could this humble buggy be transformed into a speed demon capable of hitting 100mph? With a hint of skepticism but a glimmer of excitement, the team gears up for the challenge ahead. Stay tuned as the X12S embarks on a thrilling journey from forgotten underdog to high-speed contender in the world of RC racing.
