Hi My friend. Nice head's up on that mod. that was one of the first up grade's i did on my three 144001..lol..here is a free mod to stop the wheel's coming off when bashing or speed runs'. Use the lock nuts from the shock towers and swap them with the wheel nut's And no more wheels flying off when running. Work's well try it .no need to use Loctite...Another great video.
Nice tip, thankZ
@@chrishollar6080 Thank you.
Thx bro
At the end of the day, the reason you buy LC Racing is because this pin represents every component of this WLT. Quality matters in the long run. Precision and quality of metals and plastics add up quick. Support hard working small business if you can and save money in the long run. Win Win Win
I noticed that too when tightening the wheels, so I have been running mine with the nut not tighten all the way. Thanks for this info.
I just picked up a 144001, so going through some of your videos on it!
My man! Do you know how bad I have been ripping my hair out trying to figure out what was binding in mine? It has been driving me nuts! Thank you for the info, your a life saver!
Yep, I made this mod early on. I’m not a big fan of metal upgrades, but this is a must on the 144001 if you’re going to speed run with brushless power.
Which ones did you buy? Maybe a link..
I feel like the reason this has become a problem is because when WLtoys originally produced this car, the axle shafts were slightly too short. Which caused the wheel nuts to fall off because the locking part of the wheel nut was not gripping onto the axle shaft. They have since corrected the problem and increased the length of the axle shaft slightly to allow the wheel nuts to lock properly. Thus, no longer requiring the wheel nuts to be cranked on so hard.
thats nice to know... i just got my car last week and treads do show after snugging up wheels... if you use blue locktite you do not have to over tighten them either...
Can confirm on the newer 144 series. I tighten mine very tight. No issues for a few months.
Everyone definitely has to use metal hexes. I certainly hope no one was trying to do speed upgrades with plastic hexes! It's great to know what cost-cutting measures WLToys takes so that we can easily improve the car.
Great point! I was adding more power, furiously tightening the wheels to avoid '3 wheels on my wagon' and i was going slower!!!
Still got my 144001 totally stock might need speed run with it at some point but just an awesome around rc 👍💯
A link to the hexes and wheels please.
All my cars still run plastic hex but I payed special attention to make sure they never burried in, It's great you solved that problem with yours mate 👍
From you I respect that a lot, it's just I've had 2 wheels come loose on other speed run cars before so like the wheels nice and tight but the 144001 wheels seem to bind the hex AND bend the pin when tightened. Quite a few other people have also said the same, makes me wonder if it's worth you trying them to see if you can unleash more speed. Fitting mamba x setup back in, although STILL struggling to fit any esc in under the Phat bodies (mini excepted). Hope you're doing well. I am thinking of doing a live show one night soon and would like you on it. I'll contact you via your about page
@@DriftomaniacsRC thanks mate I am doing well and Finally gave you a shout out on my latest upload 😂 That would be awesome mate I would love to get involved. You can also message me on IG @ the.rc.master or Facebook Dan bratic Petrak 👍
Hi, I just saw this video because I my 144001 just arrived. What size Hexes should I buy? Can you supply a link?
Thanks for doing this one. I'm redoing one of mine with all aluminum also, no motor yet, but have been running 1/16 e revo wheels/tires on this one and figured the hexes would be more durable but never thought about this type of binding other than flat out over tightening. Love the vids,Peace from Michigan.
I bought a set for $2 from China. Just a 3-4 week wait lol ,but I broke the gear case and can’t locally source the parts. So new gear case and a bunch of new metal parts on the way!
Hey Richie, where do you buy those metal wheel hexes?
Just ordered sg1602 for my first rc. Next is this.
You only have this issue if you upgrade the spindles to the metal ones. Its an RC car the wheel nuts dont need 100lbs of torque
with respect this has metal spindles as stock, also with brushless power the wheel nuts will undo if not tightened on this car. And if tightened on the plastic ones the plastic hexs become a problem
I find a lot of people learn this the hard way. 👍🏻
I did the brushless mod on mine and after a few runs the plastic hex fused to the hub and locked my left rear wheel. The outer bearing was also destroyed and needed replacement. Oh and btw, the bearings are proprietary. They are an odd size. 4x7x1.80mm. So you can only get them from a WL Toys retailer which I found disheartening. Why didn't they just go with a universal standard 4x7.2.0mm which EVERYBODY has? Now I have to wait X amount of days to get the bearings (sigh). It wasn't until after I bought another 144001 that had been modified from another guy with the aluminum hex's did I realize the the whole time it was the hex nut giving me issues. If you do the mod with the stock 144001 it will also go faster on the stock brushed setup and make it nicer to drive. So now I have a brushed and brushless 144001's. One for my grand daughter and one for papa.
much appreciate the time taken to post some great info!
4x7.2.0mm
Yea... Birmingham Gt just hit 114mph! It was a SCREAMING run!
Awesome video bud, been thinking about getting one of these will order these with it 🙃🤩!
Great video. I learned that a long time ago. WISH I would have seen a video back then about this!
it's been driving me crazy, I have the skills to mod it to make it fly, I have the electrics, BUT it was like driving with the parking brake on!!!!
Thanks for the video but how many mm should the hexagon be to fit
Great top tip Rich. Pity I ain't got one! 😂 Look forward to seeing your speed run 👌
Will straightening the back wheels gain any speed?
Metal hexes, steel diff gears+grease, and smaller lighter motor to get started imo.. or just get a lc racing lolol
Important question: why do you tighten the wheels so hard? There is no nood for that.
In an earlier video shot around my yard I lost a wheel!
@@DriftomaniacsRC but then the threadlock was worn out or not existent in some way.
Great video Richie, but I've heard that those alu hexes will drop the driveshaft pins like no one's business, and you'll just lose those pins when running! Have you had this issue yet? If not, I'm assuming that's because you really snug down the wheel nuts.
Mega build coming this week. Just awaiting carbon chassis in 2ft of snow. ON IT this coming week
Hey bud if you were thinking of getting the new Arrma Kraton EXB GET ONE! I got one and wow over of all my cars it's my New favorite
Richie!!! Another great video. Thank you. I was wondering where you got the foam tires/wheels? Is there a link for those?
Thank you!
Let me check
cool fix,will have to check mine,great video
Great video. Bought the hexes a while back but I never installed because I felt they had way too much play. I pull on the tire and the drive shaft moves in/out about 2-3 mm - did yours do the same?
Hi. I was trying to find a video for that metal platform you have added to mount some of the electrics?
Good info.
I bought those hexes but the pins broke when i tightent it up
Hey boss you might want to find a more crisp audio clip for your intro , the one your using now is very pitching and almost sounds like it is trying to murder speakers with its pitch
I gave up worrying about comments on the sound about 2 years ago, people fail to realise it might just be down to the device they're listening to it on..........
Hi i seem to have the same issue with mine, i also got new hex and still seems like the hand brake is on. Any comments on that? Thanks!
hexes and bearings first thing i get to put on,but I have also noticed the wlt lockpins bend really easily as this has happened with metal hexes in my case as well, was thinking a shim behind thepin or a bit more out of the groove may help.
Great cheap fix 👍
Nothing got hot? You temp the motor at all. My golden rule is know the temp and you know 70% . you should also always check the tire and see if it spins freely before you run and after you put your tires on. I check to see if they roll free all my rc's every run. You could have burned up your motor or esc too
Wow, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks for putting this together and sharing.
do you have a video of this car with a gyro installed... i would think with a gyro it would be much faster on a buggy track... thanks
The banggood radio has a gyro installed but this car doesn't need it turned up for street use
I love this things but they keep breaking. No I think one of my diff are graining.
Cool info my friend Rich
The zd racing zmt10 has the same problem
blue lock tite mount and wheels and they will not come loose..
Can you put a link to them
where is the link to these?
Can you add a link to the hexes?
Yes, all this talk Aboutaleb hexes, and stil no link or Amy extra info.....
where can I buy these?
I was looking for a link also.
@@John-fo9jy banggood.com
Any link to parts to buy
I stumbled across your channel looking to get into RC cars. What do you recommend I should get for around a hundred dollars?
Well if you're mainly on road then get one of these, it's not a basher but does 40Mph on 3s out of the box, or if you're more into off road then a Q902 or Q903 both of which are brushless and under $100, I've owned all 3.
Driftomaniacs any thing else I need in addition to the car?
Hi just a quick question how do i stop my rc car from running off when signal is lost I have a 1/8th brushless rc car
Hi most radios have a 'failsafe' setup BUT most radios don't come with it set by default, you'll need to read the manual for your particular car, you'd think the failsafe woudl be set by default but regardless of brand in the main it isn't
@@DriftomaniacsRC Well I have done a conversation of my annsman vapor from nitro to brushless and i have a hps transmitter and if I turn the controller off first the car just drives off or if it loses signal it just keeps driving
What contact tyres do you use because i only find them for 1/10
use the 1/10 ones as that's the smallest they do. They are still quite a bit smaller than the stock tires but at least they don't balloon. Just ran at nearly 100mph on my 124019 today!
Is it just me, or did that gear mesh already sound a bit nasty before he took it outside?
'He' reads all the comments! :-) And this car is running MOD1 gears! That'd account for the gear noise(!!!) but then it'll never bust a gear! I've done a video on the mod 1 conversion, over 13k views so I guess it's a useful one to watch
I dig that esc plate you made. Well done!
Thanks! 👍 I may do a few tweaks to it, but it gives you the option to run a serious sized lipo at least.
sure, but how do you explain it binding on the rears only and not the front? and if the pins are bending from over tightening on the plastic hex, what is stopping it from bending on the alloy hex and having the same binding problem occuring? is it because u can't over tighten with the alloy hex? cheers
I can't believe there's no link
it does 37 of the box on 3s lipo so you're going to put a brushless system in it to get an extra 3 miles an hour not worth the price
Lol the plastic hex is not the problem it's you over tightening the wheels nuts. It's simple to fix just stop over tightening the nuts on.
Plastic is better and lighter especially rotating mass.
Got a link to the "mod"? ;)
👍👍
Hi great mod 👍 i have a few different mods on my 144001 you should have a look at.
I will check it out
550 motor btw
sonofa
hey brit, there's a reason why people like you have all metal parts on their cars. Maybe you should go faster and worry less about crashing. The "C" stands for Control, just FYI... People, please stop the "GO FASTER" nonsense, stop spending money upgrading $99 cars. try improving your lap times first. "literally" ? lol but first "Subscribe" !!!!! LMFAO, eeeeeeeeegits!
and Troy there's a reason why you just have 3 subs, Lap times? lol, you may have noticed I don't race. Oh and work on your spelling as well as your manners, the first is easy to cure the second? Very hard for you I guess
@@DriftomaniacsRC The C part ruffled your jocks did it?
I don’t know why everybody thinks this is a great RC . Mine is a piece of garbage. The range is terrible.
Because it hit's 40+ on 3s and has a range of over 300ft.... That's why...
suena horrible
