- DOES WHAT IT SAYS! How to open up and grease the drive chain/oil the diffs, remove the shocks and shock towers if you need to upgrade.
Please note, i use abbey gun grease on the gears, this is not recommended for use on some plastics. please see manufacturers instructions for recommended grease.
This video is to show how to get too and re oil/grease parts of the drive chain.
Hope it helps!
Very good advice about how to handle the screws and not to mix them up. I had that issue when I opened up my Maverick Strada XB. I had no idea that there were three or four different types of screws... Lesson learned now.
lol yeah I think it's something we all do, and say next time I'll remember to do it, next time comes and baaaam, mixed em up again lol I do this all the time now, makes things so much easier. Thanks for watching.
First of all - a huge thanks for the informative, non bs, non self promoting content! And an even bigger thanks for not yelling all the time, which seems to be the RUclips standard these days.
I’m currently waiting for both the 14301 and the 14303 to arrive. 01 for me and 03 for my son. 😁
The plan is to use the 14301 as a project platform for teaching my kids how everything works as they’ve started to show a lot of interest in the technical and mechanical stuff. For starters, we’re swapping the transmitter/receiver to a DumboRC and the esc to a Hobbywing 10BL60 to (hopefully) eliminate the input lag and overall quirkiness of the stock esc/reciever. We’re definitely doing the diffs/drivetrain as well.
Looking forward to more videos! 🙌🏻
@@jstenstrom Thanks for the comment bud, really glad you like what I'm doing. I have a good few videos planned, just need to find the time to get them done so defo more stuff in the pipeline. Check out the Ldarc small call mini vans, perfect for in the home and great fun, very good quality too.
When you take those damn cross head screws out put hex screws back in… makes life easier down the road. If you do it every time you work on your RC eventually all screws will be hobby grade allen screws… dandy
normally I do bud, can't stand the crossheads. Hex screws are an upgrade which will be in another video of upgrades for these things. 👊
I will stick to Wiltoys.
My 124007. I have upgraded my buggy metal upgrades. It handles alot better!
Now it's tough as nails.
I run mine on 3S.
I hav had a number of MJX rc.
For me MJX RC are good for parts for my other RC Cars.
Each to his own.
Thanks for your video.
Wltoys # 1😏🙂😎
Why exactly? What specifically is better about WLtoys than others?
@catlady8324 I prefer buggies over truggy. Better handling!
Apart from the Wiltoys and MJX I own. Ming yang caracal which is a low level track car. The Caracal is so stable on 4S a buggy. Also own a Asuga a buggy . I love my Arrma Notorious which is a monster trick truck. The Notorious handles well for a monster truck.
@@philpowell1162 TY. 👍 That’s a nice looking car and very popular too.
Once again, outstanding job. Keep on the great work.
Thankyou my friend. keep them wheels rolin lol
Subscribed, I was about to make this exact video, however, all I have to do is post yours!!! One thing I would have replacement parts on hand just in case. I had to change my rear Spur gear, there were metal shaving in the case and the die cast spur gear was the Culprit, I exchanged it for a stainless steel one. AWESOME Video!! Subscribed for life!! Good day my friend from the USA.
Nice, thanks for the comment bud. my car was brand new at the time of the video and loads of people saying they didn't know how or what to do in regards to oiling the diffs so I made the guide. Glad you like it and feel free to share around 👊
maybe i had some luck with my 14303? The big screw in the front and back wasnt loctited on my car.i could easily loosen them with a little screwdriver on both sides :)
@@lurifax7382 Nice, think it depends on who made it at the factory lol. I've managed to get all mine out baring 1 small screw on the 209, had to drill it out.
Thank you for the video.
Any comments on what to use to clean the diff parts of the old grease or diff fluid before reassembly?
Heya bud, I used a solvent cleaner, then rinsed with fairy liquid and warm water. completely cleans it out. Glad you liked to video man, nice to know I'm. helping some people out. 👊
Great video!
Get my Martini Delta and Citroen C3 soon!
What I want to know: Does it drive better with correct Dif Oil?
How big is the difference?
Bell is activated 😊
@@GeckoRC hi bud, yes it does, it's a small difference but defo noticeable, found mine corners better on a loose surface. sharpens up the steering. Also you know when you do it that it's done right.
@@Doeswhatitsays-cc1ce Good point!
Thanks
I really like this car, I have the 14303 and the 14209. Only thing I don't like are the four differential screws. Does anyone have a suggestion on replacement for these screws, like torx or hex?
@@pernormann4869 yeah same here, they defo lack quality. I'll see if I can source some from online and put a link up for ya.
I think the Title means “Drive TRAIN”, not drive chain.
@@catlady8324 Thanks for that lol, surprised no one spotted it before lol
I heard a rumor that they may be making them with hex hardware soon. Have you heard anything like that?
No I've not heard anything yet, would be good if they did, but not the end of the world. You can get the screws online for cheap .
I have hex hardware on mine they are terrible strip so easily
Such a big help this video 🙏 thank you
no probs, glad it helped you bud 👊 it's a good start untill you work out what oil you need.
@@Doeswhatitsays-cc1ce any tips for making handling slightly better in a straight line lol
@@jamesbrooker6508 yeah change the tyres to road tyres, what it comes with are for dirt/small gravel. the steering servo is not the best, so could be something else to keep in mind. Have to remember, these are not high end, but they can be upgraded to handle pretty good. Shocks play a part too, stiffen up the rear more than the front to keep grip to the front, if the rear of the car drops when accelerating, the front of the car becomes lighter, with them being AWD the front wheels. Will tend to slip a bit more, if one front wheel slips. more than the other could. be making it turn slightly.... Loads to. think. of really, all depends on a. lot of. factors, like what surface your running on too. plenty of vids around explaining how to set up shock oil to. front and rear too, may be worth spending some time on RUclips, get it set up correctly with differential oils and tyres to suit the surface and go from there. Hope. this helps. ya, I'm by no means an expert on RCs but do know a bit, what I know I'll. say/advise to help as much as poss. I may be right I may be wrong but you have to start somewhere, when you sort it let us know so others can learn to bud 👊
@@Doeswhatitsays-cc1ce I will let you know how I get on for sure thanks so much 👏
This is a great helpful video but I have a question about greasing the differentials and other gears, could you use WD40 oil instead of grease? Or am I making a mistake by greasing like this. Please I need an answer
wd40 is not ideal and should not really be used. In the diffs there are small rubber seals, wd40 will eat away at these leading them to fail. silicone based oils should be used for this as they are rubber friendly. A good thing to remember is if it spins use oil and if it rubs use grease. What a lot of RC guys do is make sure that all oils and grease they use are silicone based and therefore safe to use.
You can get a moly grease as long as it's not petroleum based and is RC friendly or you can use a white lithium grease. Plenty of stuff out there, Google is your best friend on this but I hope I helped out a bit with my answer 👊
@@Doeswhatitsays-cc1ce So can I use silicone grease for the oil dampers and all the other gears and differential or lithium grease for everything?
Or should I buy different greases of various types for each thing? I know I ask a lot of questions but I'm new to the RC hobby and I'm going to have this RC car and some others and I want to be sure what I'm going to do to my cars.
@@TheITP21 Hi buddy, it's fine. Silicone oil in the shocks and the sealed diffs. the oil in the diffs is thicker than the oil that goes in the shocks but it is still a silicone oil. There are loooooads of videos on what thickness oils to use in the shocks and the diffs so look up shock oil, and diff oils. White lithium grease can be used on the gears. Again if you look up RC grease there are plenty of videos on this too. You will learn more doing this than what I can explain here. good luck bud 👊
WD-40 isn't grease or oil. It is a water displacer (WD). It will remove grease.
@@noname-yb5jtcame to post this :)
hello sir, been watching your video couple of times now, just got my own MJX 14303 & some silicone lube which is 3000cst & 6000cst(is it okay though?)..can u advise which lube should i use the one the front and back?
Heya mate, it's all a rough starting guide, so you can change the oils to what works best for your model. So lower in the rear and higher in the front. 3000 rear and 6000 front. it all affects the handling, so if it corners and wheels spin at the front then change the oil on your next maintenance the heavier at the front. it's all trial and error untill you get it how you like and part of the fun 👊
I failed at te first screw. I used
the proper size. It broke into three pieces.
My wife says I can't use the drill in the middle of the night, I really don't know why cause it won't take long, so.... I'm fked. And I'd be missing a screw anyhow.
so you put 7000 in your front diff ,and then installed it in the rear, if I'm not mistaken.
@@tubermick no bud 7000 in front, and 3000 in rear as a good starting point.
on the video I showed the front diff taken apart, there was no point showing both, the video would be to long so I just said. 7000 in front and 3000 in rear as seen. Hope that makes it a bit clearer for you.
Did your car come with those differentials? Because I bought the black body version, and the differentials are not sealed
@@jkeavyolson hiya bud, yes it came with those diffs, the black version doesn't have sealed diffs for some reason. Don't know why.
@@Doeswhatitsays-cc1ce Yeah it’s kind of frustrating
@@jkeavyolson yeah, pointless really. I've heard the blue one is the one to get. Black one is limited edition I think but blue one has all the "better" internals. not 100% sure but 99.i don't own the black one so can't be 100% on that.
maybe put some pics on here and we can see if there's much of a difference?
@@Doeswhatitsays-cc1ce for some reason I can’t put pictures in the comment section
Do the differentials require grease in them after you fill them in with the silicone oil or will it run fine? Someone else put a tad bit of grease in the diffs to lubricate them.
@@iamgeek01 no bud, the oil is the lubricant so you don't need grease. 👊
@@Doeswhatitsays-cc1ce Oh, alright. Thanks for the info, I'll use silicone oil for my upgraded diffs for my H16PL.
what charger do you recommend?
Heya mate, I use a Turnigy Accucel 6, never had a problem with it, once you have read the manual will be able to charge most battery's with it. I've had it a while now, you can still find them online and some hobby shops. 👊 highly recommend it.
Hi sorry for another question but the middle brace on mine just spins and won’t loosen must have been glued too much in factory I can remove front bolt fine just the back I can’t move any tip on how to get it off 👏
@@jamesbrooker6508 Sometimes these are stuck fast, you may have to just grip the red brace with pliers or 5 hole grips. Lay some rubber over the brace first for extra grip and to not scratch it to much and maybe heat the stuck end with a hair dryer, just an idea. anything that will heat it without melting anything. Use the correct screwdriver and give it all you got, it will go, just take ya time. Good luck man, some people have brought new parts and just replaced it, so luck is what ya need bud.
Yea I'm drilling mine out tomorrow. High five we are the Sunday pros
@@evil_twit don’t suppose u have any tips to make it more stable either 😂
I put white silicone grease in my diffs. Am I stupid?
I don't know bud, I've never used it myself.
Lol
@@rccarsandmusic2641 What's funny my friend, if I have done something or said something wrong please let me know.
