China is about to go into hibernation (from a sales standpoint) for Chinese New Year when the whole country takes a well earned break. Specials are as below but just be aware they are unlikely to ship until after their break finishes at the end of Feb.
Gaoneng GNB 7.4V 1550mAh 100C 2S Lipo Battery XT60 Plug
GNB simply make the best batteries. This one would be perfect for the WL toys 144001 and is down to $16 with coupon BGGaoneng2S1 |
20x20mm Racerstar ReachUp 40A BLheli_32 2-6S Brushless ESC
Superb deal for a powerful 20mm ESC that will take 6s. Half price ($22) using code BGCL40 |
LC Racing EMB range - EMB-MT, EMB-TG, EMB-1, EMB-SC
LC racing simply make the best 1/14 scale cars around - this is the platform the WL Toys copied for the 144001. My review of the monster truck is here. They presently have 10% off the range using code BGLCRC10 which makes the Monster Truck $216, the Truggy $207, the Buggy $206 and the Short Course Truck $208 |
Updated 6 January 2021
There are some great specials on the very popular lightweight 4 inch long range FPV drones at the moment as newer revisions of the Flywoo explorer and Caddx Nebula become available. The Diatone Roma LR F4 is excellent at this price with DJI HD gear ready to go - a quad I have on the desk at the moment.
DIATONE Roma F4 LR Micro Long Range 4 Inch 4S BNF Caddx Nebula Micro V2 HD Cam
Of all the Micro Long range options this is probably the most polished - particularly the lovely frame. Grab a bargain while they run out the DJI Caddx Nebula - 30% off down to $195 using code BGCLRM |
Flywoo Explorer LR 4'' 4S Micro Long Range FPV Racing RC Drone analogue version
The analogue version of the original Dave-C design is down to only $135 for new accounts with code BGNC15LR |
iFlight Chimera4 LR Micro Long Range 4 Inch 4S FPV Racing Drone BNF Caddx Nebula Digital HD
The Iflight version is another LR option that offers a true-x frame and both 3000kv and 3800kv motor options. Like the Diatone model this one is heavily discounted as they clear out the DJI HD Nebula cams. 30% off down to $209 with code BGCLIFLR |
URUAV VTC6 18650 4S 14.8V 3000mAh 15/30C 4S1P LR Li-ion LionPack
This is the ultimate battery for these micro long range quads - it will give you a genuine 30 minute+ flight time of long range cruising. Made from genuine VT6 cells, this is cheaper than making your own. $25 using code BGVTC64S |
Eachine Cvatar 120mm 6S 2.5 Inch Cinewhoop
This tough little 2.5 inch cinewhoop is down to $127 with code BGCVA120. Id recommend the 4s version - 6s is ridiculous on a quad this size!! |
Updated 23 December 2020

This is the hugely popular WL TOys 144001 with an extended wheelbase with all the benefits as mentioned in this preview article. I have an exclusive code which beats all discounts currently available bringing it down to $102 at this link. Code is BG124019. You will need to pre-order as these will sell out. As WL Toys biggest retail partner, Banggood get stock allocation priority. |

As per the 124019 buggy to the left but in a desert buggy style if that's what smokes you tyres. Again, this exclusive code offers the best discount presently available (12%) at this link. Code is BGWL124RC. Likewise, I'd recommend a preorder with Banggood as they tend to be more reliable than the smaller aliexpress sellers. |

Replacement Metal Diff For 144001

Here are the key components you'll need to upgrade to brushless as per my 144001 brushless upgrade guide they are all on special too:
