Does it goes to the Moon now? Upgrading the motor in the WLtoys 124008/124007

[@RCRoads]

Awesome speed on sand. Great bash session. Excellent job! 🏆

[@enteromara6962]

Its a good RC car, i recently bought one and i'm a bit dissapointed because nobody sells motor mount separately

[@hofsplace]

Indeed, playing with pinion gears isn't a option

[@bismuth7730]

Hey i like the video and have a question. What is the hole spacing on that motor mount plate thingy? 16mm, 19mm? Im afraid its 16mm so there arent any easy options to put a bigger motor. Thanks

[@hofsplace]

Sorry, can't tell exactly, but a bigget motor is possible when you modify the motor plate, or buy an after market one

[@bismuth7730]

@@hofsplace At the moment it isnt even possible to buy an original plate 😅. I guess when i finally have the car in my hands ill take measurements and possibly 3D print another one. Thanks

[@hofsplace]

​@@bismuth7730i found the original plate here: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_EHLvnvV

I am curious to know what is causing the parallel lines on the beach in the opening scene of the video.

[@hofsplace]

That's the sea retrieving. There's high and low tide with 1.5 meter different.

[@philiprccars4340]

@@hofsplace It is so beautiful how the sea and tide does that on the beach.

[@philiprccars4340]

When are you doing a 3S speed run on tarmac with the upgrade? I think everyone would like to see the results of that test.

[@hofsplace]

Ai, it's at my other location, so not in a short while

[@arnaldofx1729]

Hi dude, sometimes is not the motor, the esc is always the problem limited with the ampers, just change the esc of 45 amps for new one with 60 amps is done with the 3's battery and maybe hit the 80km/h.

[@hofsplace]

You're right. Motors can handle a lot. Just keep an eye on the temperature

[@arnaldofx1729]

Hey one More question. Can a 3650 motor fit?

[@hofsplace]

@@arnaldofx1729 I would say no. But if you are very creative, a lot can fit.

[@eddyedwards3755]

All he had to do was change the pinion gear on the stock system to 0.6mod 20t 😱

[@Youboyg]

One more thing, the battery.. can it used other lipo battery brands 2s and 3s? Can it be modify to use any 2s battery brands you will like? Thanks mate

[@hofsplace]

Yes you can use other lipo's. Just find some with the same dimensions. I used Ovonic lipo's, not a perfect fit, but it did the job

[@forexpump220]

love this little car 😉

[@piotrekcka2578]

Hi Hof. Great videos! I have a question. I also have a 124008. What does it mean that one light on the charger is solid red and the other is blinking green?

[@hofsplace]

Good question. My charger was bad, it didn't work. So. I used my balanced charger. So i can't tell what the lights do... Sorry

[@piotrekcka2578]

Thanks

[@enteromara6962]

If the red light is constant and light green is blinking it means its charging. If the green light has stopped blinking (become constant green) it means charging complete. Hope you understand my bad english lol

[@Venom.2-p14x]

How about the 5900kv?

[@hofsplace]

Even better! Haha, these are nice!

[@timrobinson9192]

I have this car ..... stock it is very good and pretty fast

[@keldonator]

124007 and 124008 are very different... You sure this will work for both?

[@hofsplace]

The 007 uses an aluminium motor mount and as far as i know, the holes line up (when i still had mine). In the worst case, you'll need to drill holes.

[@nathanb1301]

53 km is below stock speed.

[@michaelfear4801]

thats awesome lol
