Outstanding 124008 upgrade video 👑👍🏼 I've had my 124008 for around 6 months now and can share some findings. The notch teardown of the diff cups happens even on stock setup out of the box. After close inspection of the direction it seems to happen when you brake at high speeds. My rear diffs has even larger notches than yours 🤪😂 But switching the front and rear diff was a great tip while I'm awaiting replacement diffs in the mail 🙏🏼 I have to warn you about a weakness in the plastic bottom chassis plate wich is the bow shaped cup protecting the driveshaft gear. It sticks out in the bottom of the car and wears down easily. To the extent that all the plastic gets scratched away and leaves a open hole directly in to the driveshaft gear. I had to replace my bottom plate because of this. Besides that the car is durable as hell and always delivers a great driving experience 👍🏼 Right now im running it on 84mm huge tires, 124010 orange body, Rlaarlo AM-X12 tail and springs and a modified MJX Hypergo bumper with LED lights. I have two questions 😇 How did you paint the black on the original body (looks fantastic 🤩) and how can I get a hold of a similar motor mount that you made? 🙏🏼😎🤙🏼
My diff-cups wear is from running it forward or blasting it forward! Thanks for the warning about the chassis, mine is still ok for now. I usually add superglue and baking soda to the wear down area when it's necessary to all my RCs. To purchase, please see description. I don't want to sell this on eBay yet
@@customtoyrevolution Thanks for answering and you're absolutely correct! I checked the diffs again and it is from acceleration 👍🏼 Would you consider sending one to Norway if I pay for shipping cost up front? 🙏🏼
Nice video. Never had a rc but i would like one. And I like the 124008. Can you tell me how slow is it at the lowest setting? Been searching but everyone is talking about the max speed 🙂 slow enough for kids to use?
You can adjust the speed as slow as you want via the remote. Optionally get a 2S Lipo battery will also help. Cautions: kids going to find out the knob and crank it up and bye bye car
super glue seems to work well rubber-rubber. there's a bargain "choice" seller of shocks with eyes already installed "Remote Control Parts Factory Store", they're not original but they're very good. They have black springs instead. I've used them on a few wltoys and an mjx 14301 with the mjx springs. But maybe yours just need a good cleanout. i got one of these for a mate, and he cannot run it stock on 3s without burning the motor up, even with a turbofan. Just the way he drives full throttle everywhere and the surfaces he drives on. tried him on 2s "not fast enough", ended up setting him up a 124017 with a larger lower kv motor. but those old gear ratios are so much longer hey so currently I have two of these to work on, same issue, cannot get new spur and pinions to mesh on stock motor mounts. is just too tight, and if i fudge the motor mounting, still sounds wrong. Would love to have this motor mount!
It seems "Remote Control Parts Factory Store" is empty. I don't have lucks for 3rd party shocks, every single one leaked! Wow, your friend managed to burn it up on stock setup 🤣
@@customtoyrevolution i've posted it on my community tab, my comments about that site get removed as if they're spam lol are you situated in the US? shipping is pretty crazy from the states. i have paypal setup but not venmo

I hand painted the body, but I should have mask it and air brush

It appears I could ship it in an envelope internationally, just send $17.00. If you want tracking, the shipping fee alone is $22 😨😱
@@customtoyrevolution That would be fantastic! I'll get back to you soon 👍🏼
No sure the transmitter is 100 miles. It's about 80 to 100 meters as it's a wl toys standard remote
The car itself is ok but prefer the 144001 base
1st part of the video is a wishful thinking, joke. Only the adjustable motor mount is real

@@customtoyrevolution Thx! Haha., I been thinking the same 😄 Im sure they will.

@@shadyhazza some sort of RUclips security . I wish they enable private chats
I can see their inventory now, it might just be a glitch
Hello, are these diff drive cups more durable than the original 144001 or 12th scale ones ? thank you
the pins on the new wltoys are slightly wider, so if you are going to upgrade your cups, upgrade your CVDs and dogbones too to take advantage of it
i can't really comment on durabilty though. they're bigger, so they should be
Yes, you can watch this video ruclips.net/video/L4NL1rotIwQ/видео.html
Whats the 23t pinion from thought they only did 27 19 17 15 .
Those you mentioned (0.7M) are for all the metal chassis buggies and 124010, this one uses 0.6M gearing which is commonly used for many other RCs.
@@customtoyrevolution didn't know the 008 was 0.6 thought all wltoys was 0.7 . Learn something every day.
