@@RCVOODOO That's how it is from the factory, they come empty, but I mean that having already filled them, how do you know what you need without opening them... Some tips.. Thank you
Good advice brother and yep they skimped on the grease alright, mine was basically bone dry, and the oil was topped up to the top on the shocks, I made a video on it a few days back. Definitely have to check these cars before taking em out
i just got into RC.. i bought a bunch of WL toys.. your videos are the best.. no lie... im going to be doing videos on my other channel.. ill hit you up.. i subbed, thanks
I didnt have grease so i used peanut butter. Threw jelly in my shocks. Put the damb thing on bread and ate my Traxxis all up!. Ill read the instructions next time.🤔
Yeah I am not surprised the gears are dry like that. Unfortunately it happens. But it gives us something to do when we tear them down to inspect.. ;) I gear udder butter is pretty good.. I typically go with what ever marine grease I happen have.. ;) Oh and very true on the loc-tite .. A little DOES go a long way. All great tips bud. I am sure this will be very helpful to lots..

I cant believe they are still even making RCs with Philips screws. I hope the 1/10 version they finally use hex head screws. Thanks for the tip about the a-arm angle, I'm still waiting on my 124019 I imagine I wont get it till after the 1/10 version has been shipped.
I always check my Diffs before a good Use , had to do it with the 144001 and check my Nuts 🤪 anyway fantastic Tips and How to Video bro , its sounds butter Smooth ,👍 I really enjoyed it 👍😉👍
Thanks for the tips! Just got mine and I can't wait to run it after I correct these issues. Question for you, is the shock tower the same as the 144001? Great video! Thanks
Have you ever tried to change the tower shock with the metal upgrade parts from 144001? Does any other upgrade parts from 144001 can be installed and fit in 124019?
Hi, there's something wrong with my RC car (the same as in the video). It will run normally but then it suddenly stops working. I think it could be the ESC that got a bit wet or overheated yesterday. What do you think?
@@RCVOODOO yes, I had 2 batteries and both fully charged overnight. Yesterday I ran both of them out straight and I noticed the car quite hot. The car also went in the puddle
Yes. But worth it. Plus you get the experience of learning your rc and how to replace something if you break a part. I do this regardless if it's really needed or not on all my rc's. Even crawlers
I guess it's the price you have to pay for cheap rc's.. The (lack of) quality control is where they save money. Once you get it lined out they are great little rc's
New to the hobby. I don't have any grease, but my buddy has 30k & 50k silicone oil.. label says 'differential' Can i apply those? Or it has to be that grease?
If you pack it it causes the diff to be tight. Try it and see. The axle will not turn as smoothly and effortlessly. You can always take it back out. It Causes the motor to work harder with the diffs packed tight. More strain on the motor less efficient battery. Shorter motor life
Actually if you packed it with grease, it will be heavier to turn until you break in the grease. The excess grease will leak and the remaining will stay to butter your gears.
@@RCVOODOO I just removed the battery brackets and stood the battery on its side and secured to floor tray via the Velcro straps the battery shipped with
Hi, I am struggeling to find the problem, maybe you can help me! If I drop the car, it does not come up all the way again, but the shocks stay down a bit, is it because there is too less shock oil inside? Thanks
Shock oil only makes it come up slower. Sounds like the springs needed adjusted down with the adjustment rings on the shock. tighten the rings to make stronger springs. That would be my guess
@@RCVOODOO I have a similar problem, front left shock gets stuck when I push it all the way down. I think maybe I bent it slightly? Can't really see it with the naked eye.
I’m new to using rc car controllers (flown rc planes for years) can somebody tell me please, is it normal to have a delay with the motor changing direction going from forward to reverse? Is this because of braking... maybe it won’t let me go straight from forward to reverse at speed to protect the gears?
@@RCVOODOO thank you! I had a tamiya in the 90s but was using a normal twin stick controller and didn’t have braking. Used to just ram it in reverse as a handbrake haha. I’ll get used to it : )
@@JoshJ12 no, just use it where screws go into metal it does nothing to help where screws go into plastic. never use red loctite you will never get the screws out of you do
@@RCVOODOO Ah ok thanks Mr. RC Voodo. I am a biologist in the making and just rediscovered RC (from childhood) three months ago and wanted to expand my "fleet" to a third car. Will have to buy this car since the sexy purple body made me tingle everywhere. I appreciate every help.

you can almost guarantee they are missing grease from the factory

Swap the wheel nut for the shock nut and then you will have nylon thread locking nut on your wheels where it should already be.
Very good 👍

That's great advice buddy. That's also why I prefer kits over Ready to runs. Great video as always buddy.
yea when you gotta basically rebuild it anyway haha unfortunately they dont offer these as kits
Great video! I just SUB’d. I have that exact WLTOYS on order. Can’t wait till it gets here!
Thanks for watching👍
Good tips! boy they really skimped out on the grease!
yep and overfilled the oil lol
Nice video mines on it's way, would you recommend white lithium grease in the diffs it is that too light
Ive Never tried that couldn't hurt to try
I just ordered the 124019 thanks for the tips.
No problem. Have fun

Thanks bud. Always enjoy reading comments from you. BOOM! 💪
Nail polish works as well!
good tip 👍
Which battery setup i should To take? the car and 1 battery or car nd 3 battery es included? (wltoys 14019)
More batttries is always better. More play time. Less waiting 😁
Had to re watch the video i got mine in the mail finally 😀
Nice👍 thanks bud
I dont loctite plastic unless it was previously stripped
Loctite eats into plastic and can make it brittle. Youre better off using a small drop of super glue if it's going into plastic
If stripped, I use 3mm heli coils
Is the 60 wt silicon oil shocks are good for the 124019 model?
60 sounds a little thick to me but it is definitely usable
Good advice Voodoo
thanks bud
Should i clean out the old grease from the diff before adding new stuff?
it really doesnt matter there is no reason to unless you just want to
@@RCVOODOO okay sweet! thanks for replying.
Thanks for the tips! Just got mine and I can't wait to run it after I correct these issues. Question for you, is the shock tower the same as the 144001? Great video! Thanks
Everything is exactly the same as the 144001 except for drive shaft, the upper deck brace and chassis plate
If the RC hits/bounces when dropping, maybe it needs more oil?
Its got to be tuned. if it bottoms out easy. Maybe go with thicker oil. The bouncing is usually because of not enough oil
@@RCVOODOO ah okay, thank you, I bought some thicker oil thinking it would help so that was a good call. I'll have to try it, on a 12428
Have you ever tried to change the tower shock with the metal upgrade parts from 144001?
Does any other upgrade parts from 144001 can be installed and fit in 124019?
Almost all parts work. Besides the driveshaft top deck brace
Hi, there's something wrong with my RC car (the same as in the video). It will run normally but then it suddenly stops working. I think it could be the ESC that got a bit wet or overheated yesterday. What do you think?

Most oils will just leak out these diffs are not water tight. I would look for a grease
@@RCVOODOO alright, will do. Thanks for the response
why did you say to not pack it with grease? i watched a few vids and everyone does it differently

Hi, can I fit a 3s battery straight from the box? I've seen people who did that and worked but I'm not sure
Only if you got the version 1 first release long ago. 3s will fry the esc in everything after version 1
You might get one run,you might get 3 or it will fry it instantly. Its not 3s rated
What upgrades do you recommend for a 3s battery?

@@RCVOODOO Was a pleasure, thanks again.
just got my 124018 and i think the rear shocks are underfilled , they feel really soft , a drop from 20cm bottoms them out
You can adjust spring tensioner or check the oil.
@@RCVOODOO the pre load is at max and i bought a 700 cST oil and replaced the stock one , they still feel soft and bottoms out way to easy :(
Hey man can I run a 6200mah 80c Lipo on this stock?
Sure. As long as its 2s and fits. I doubt a 6200 will fit unless you are doing some mods,so Like adding wide battery tray
No you need 12s 200c 8000mah then as soon as you start just floor the throttle😁.
Btw
Dont do that 🌞
