WLtoys 12428 Frequently Asked Questions

Can this be upgraded to last longer and go faster?
I upgraded the battery only and got a lot more torque and speed and battery time. I can get 30-40 mins easy using a 7.4 2000mah

Can I use a 7.4V 5000 mAh battery in it?
I use a 7.4v 2000 and it makes me a tad uncomfortable because it heats up however it doesn’t go into thermal protection (if it even has one). I get a good half hour out of that. Because it gets so hot I’d personally say maybe use a smaller one.

Can I put a winch on the rc car?
you can try to do it.

What is the largest battery i can put in the truck and still be able to installed the battery cover? anyone tried 2000mah or larger?
Yes a 3 inch only battery pack can fit with no problem. If you can find high mah packs that are only 2s rated. You will be good . Wait make sure they are less than a inch wide . The battery bay is small . There are you tube videos that shows how to modify the battery compartment but I do not recommend that. It will create a in balance that will flip the car at high speeds. Hope this helps.

What kind of lipo battery could I put in this?
7.4V 1500mAh Li-Po Battery, you can buy RCtoy357.com

Is it waterproof?
It is not waterproof.

What is the largest Li-po battery that will fit property?
The largest battery for this rc is 3 inches no more . The compartment is small for batteries. I use Gen ace 7.4v 1500 to 2600 3inch batteries with a 50c rating and it provides enough punch. Also the battery packs create a in balance in the rear that at top speeds will flip the vehicle.
