  • WLtoys 144001 gets a new 17t 540 motor today. I picked up two brushed motors to try in the WLtoys144001 buggy. One is GoolRC 17t 540 motor and the other is an Apex RC 21t 550 motor. This buggy will be converted to brushless soon.
    If you have any questions please ask in the comments.
    I answer a few questions and share a few ideas.
    For clarification, this is not an IR thermometer. It measures ambient air temperature. It was a bit misleading the way they worded it and/or I wasn’t paying close enough attention. It’s ok because I needed the no-contact tach and I already have an IR no-contact thermometer.
    It does say on the pic it’s not an IR thermometer. MY BAD for being in a hurry.

    Finally figured out what was wrong with my car. Turns out the main gear coming out from the motor had one tooth that was a little bit crocked. I'm fairly certain this is what made it rattle so much.
    First tried it with a half charged 2s battery and was honestly not very impressed.
    Put in a 3s battery I had that fit well and it runs like crazy! Completely different car and it just skidds around in the little snow / ice we got here now.
    I did feel the esc and it was warm to the point where I could hold my finger on t for 6s before it got to the point where I felt I was burning myself.
    How warm can it get without being damaged? Will take the ir thermometer on it tomorrow and check the temperature. Might get one of those small fans and put on it since I'll definitely keep running it on 3s if I can. So much more fun.
    Thanks for another good video.

    • @RCModSquad
      @RCModSquad  4 года назад

      Avecforte so were you able to straighten the gear? I think I would try to stay below 125°. You could probably go a little higher but the cooler it runs the longer it will last.
      I’m planning to try and increase the size of the heatsink if it’s not too much of a pain.
      Mine is definitely faster in 3s but it’s pretty peppy on 2s with a good battery.
      I’ll try to get out a GPS in the morning if things work out.
      Have a great day.

    How did you figure what motor will work with that ESC? I know from past experence that you cant just use any motor in the WLtoys with the stock ESC it will burn up the esc. I would prefer a rebuildable motor over the stock WLtoys motor but i know that i cant just pick anything it needs to pull a similar amps or ill be replacing the esc next. nvm i watched the rest of the video and i see you did fry the esc thats kinda what i figured Ive found anything lower then say a 27T motor pulls way more amps then a stock default wind 540 motor.

    • @RCModSquad
      @RCModSquad  3 года назад

    Hello bud. Nice video. Quick question if I may? When I did the video on using 1:10 wheels on my 144001 I was warned that I can cause damage on the drive train etc due to the extra stress of the larger diameter wheels and mine where much smaller than yours. Do you think it can cause damage. I think they also said extra strain on the stock esc/motor but you won't have that problem but could that in your opinion also happen? Cheers buddy. Have a great day! 😊

    • @RCModSquad
      @RCModSquad  4 года назад

      I did in fact kill the ESC with these tires.
      The large tires change the final drive ratio so it loads all the drivetrain up as well as the ESC and motor. I haven’t killed any gears YET but I’ve killed all the stock ESC’s.
      Kinda what my goal is is a bit like yours. You try and show people how to fix cars for free or little output of money. I try to show people what will happen if they do some of these mods so basically I’m suggesting things for people NOT to do.
      In doing this I can help people not do things that will over time break something. I’ll also end up in the long run with the best bang for your buck mods that actually do work and should hold up.
      Those big tires for example are a terrible choice for speed runs since they ballon like crazy on 3s and make the car difficult to drive but they give you ground clearance for grass and they handle sand and jumps better. BUT they will kill the stock ESC pretty quick without a fan and probably shorten the life of the motor.
      Take care buddy! Have a great day.

    I'm running a 13t motor from surpass hobby but it does not engine brake and everything appears to be correct ie esc set to f/b/r and wires are the correct way as in goes fast forward and slower in reverse. So I guess my setup is correct but it just free wheels when I brake any ideas on why the only thing I've done differently is I've soldered my wires to the tabs on the outside edge as apposed to in center like u did. I'm stumped as to why it doesn't stop unless these motors just don't ? Or could it be my wire placement on motor any help would be greatly appreciated as I've kinda got the idea to do this from your 13t video when u got 44mph love the vids keep em coming.

    • @RCModSquad
      @RCModSquad  3 года назад +1

      Sorry you’re having issues. I’m not sure why there’s no braking. The solder location shouldn’t be a factor.
      It sounds like you have the jumper in the correct spot. You would have to dig up the spec sheet on the ESC you have to see if there is any programming changes available. Some allow changes in the brake % and punch rates.

To limit the current a bit thankyou for ur quick reply tho I'm sure its brushless time for me as this setup i have is hassle. I've nicknamed my red 144001 as little inferno as it like to burn lol.

      Rui M thanks for watching and thanks for the question. The stock 550 motor was a 17turn and this 540 is a 17turn.
      This is a bit of a broad statement but the 540 will probably turn more RPM than the 550 did so it should have a little more speed but might be a little slower from the start.
      One other reason I picked this is because it would be easy to rebuild.
      I also have the 550 21turn that I will put in this buggy.
      I’m just trying a variety of motors to help other people decide what they might want.
      Not everyone want to do a brushless conversion so I thought I’d try and show a few less expensive option.

    Bought one of these of Amazon for a physics project (we're making electric cars and racing them down the hallway) anyway, I soldered a couple of wires to a switch and a port for a 7.4v 20 watt lipo, and it isn't working. It's been a while since I've done much in the rc hobby, but I assume that this motor should work by itself directly to a battery with no esc. The problem is as soon as I turn the switch on, the motor starts then immediately stops by itself about half a second later. When it does briefly run, it has virtually no torque or speed. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks

      I checked out the fan, so would you suggest a motor fan over an esc fan? I was thinking something that would sit right over the esc, I just wish I knew what type of connector the led port takes and if it would even work. Thanks again for the reply!

When I get home tomorrow evening I’ll try to figure that out and get back with you. I’ll also measure the ESC and try and figure out what size fan will fit.

      The LED port is a 1.25 JST. It appears to be passing the battery voltage directly through but it might be current limited. If it is it probably won’t run a fan. If I get a chance in mid June I’ll order a fan when I get back from vacation.

    It's a shame that the grub screw is a bitch to get out, because it would have made life a lot easier. I have to get a butane torch i think, which I didn't really want to buy😒. But WLtoys are good quality and fun to play around with. Although I had to reassemble the front and back arms, as they were not assembled correctly when I got them delivered. Every time🤨. That kinda pissed me off. The steering handles better when the arms are all aligned. As many ppl have complained why the steering is wonky. Although there does tend to be some misaligning anyway, with a foot turning out more. Playing around with the steering trim helps a lot with counterbalancing that. Otherwise, the 144001 is probably the better performer overall in their range. And it also tends to out perform most other rtr models. Even those bigger in size. And it has the greater speed capability. Not that it's even necessary to go as fast as 80-100+klm😜.

      @@RCModSquad I was very impressed overall. I thought very affordable and great value. Which i must add, is a rare thing to come across. Thats probably why so many ppl have doubts at first. I am used to Tamiya models from many yrs ago, and I found WLtoys to be more impressive, taking into account of being ready to run, and of parts availability for added convenience. I have two which I'm in the process of upgrading to brushless. The brushless system is a bit trickier I found, with having to calibrate the ESC. I still haven't mastered that perfectly. I'm just getting back into rc cars you see, and I'm not sure about a lot of things. But I find persistent practice is what makes the difference. As I usually tend to lose my temper first a few times, before I get the hang of something😖. Its a bad habit, but it usually works. And you're right, 2s is fast enough for having good fun. Anything else is either a downright display of showing off, and/or careless dangerous use. 3s is still fine, so long as speed is controlled. I don't think it is designed to handle 4s, but I have seen ppl try, clocking up speeds of around 100miles an hour. Faster than a lot of road cars at overtaking speed🧐. Oh well, someone always has to try these things out and push their luck.

      Mikes RC Garage LOL. IKR I agree. I’ll probably save those tires for the brushless motor. The ESC would cut out on 2s with the wheels off the ground.
      I ordered a new ESC but it won’t be here for a few weeks so I’m thinking a plan B might be to rob the ESC off of car one then put the stock tires on it and do a GPS test. The stock motor did 30mph on both cars on 2s so I agree with you, that that would be a more relevant test.

      Mikes RC Garage I already ordered the metal spur gear. I already tried the diode in and out. I could add a 500 uf capacitor to support the voltage input but I suspect it’s in the ESC LiPo low voltage shutdown that’s the problem.
      I’ll rip this ESC apart and check the components IF any of them have numbers on them. A lot of the Chinese stuff uses proprietary or unlabeled components.
