I didn't notice the metal bumper till I took it to the skate park. Great vid. I still haven't broken mine yet so haven't disassembled.. Great vid.👍
this makes me wonder what they did with mine lmao, I didn't have any grease at all in my diffs
If you run the stock plastic 12th scale wltoys spur gear with a 19 tooth pinion you'll get much faster speeds in a smoother drivetrain. I did this and I have much improved the fundability of the car
Thank you for the battery information I thought it can't change
TOP !
9:15 this parts is now made of plastic. This used to be metal. Just like the solid top plastic arm of the steering buckles. They started to introduce more plastic and less adjustability.
The servo arm also has changed position and is now facing forward.
Indeed. I prefer adjustability. But the composite materials for the arms and chassis, i prefer those
Wow.... spettacolare...bel video... ciao dall'Italia
😁👍🏻
@@hofsplace grazie a te ...
Very well-thought-out and informative video - thank you! Seems like a lot of improvements on this model.
Phillips-head fasteners are nobody’s favourite, but for the hilariously-cheap price, you really can’t complain.
Indeed, torx or hex would be over the Top!
Súper.. thanks
The differential gearbox is the same as 124019 series but the driveshaft is not the same, 124008 is 6mm while 124019 is 7mm
Mr. Hof's, what solution did you give to the friction of the front shock absorbers with the dogbone? Thanks in advance
Hi, non. I just left it as it was.
Hello, do you know if there is easy-fit compatible sway bars for this car ? Thanks
Hi, until now I didn't find them
I have the WLToys 124017 V2 and started upgrading a few vulnerable parts to metal, fix the shockdampers and adjust the battery compartment a bit to fit a 3S battery.
Also I wanted to add 2 cool bumpers from LC Racing that fit some WLToys models. (front and back)
Also I changed out the CVD's which I already did a couple of times.
I dont like the quality of the CVD's the threading on the end is horrible to me it's easy to break so I had nuts, wheels hexes and pins falling off a couple of times.
So I decided to either fix it or give up on it and use it for parts or sell as fix-her-upper :P
Now I'm thinking of this model as a replacement, since the overal quality seems much more beefy and better.
Also it looks damn cheap compared to other WLToys 12th scale buggies, but I cant really figure out why that is, other then the lower specs of the motor and ESC and the fact that the new parts seem less available compared to the older buggies.
But what I'm wondering is: I now have alot of spares from the 124017, also I have some LC Racing upgrades like the bumpers, sway bars and custom body posts, but is it all compatible with this model? will it fit?
I dont want to just buy it and be dissapointed again :P
Could you please help me out on this?
Thanks alot mate
Though choice, haha. Regarding this matter, I do like the overall build quality more with the new one. However, i don't like the battery system. If i needed to buy one now, i would buy the new one. The arms and diffs are identical. The rest is new.
@@hofsplace thanks alot mate, the batteries i'd like to run on this model are CHNL G+Plus 2200mAh 11.1V 3S 70C LiPo Batteries.
It's measurements are: 31X35X106mm (height X width X length).
I havent been able to find the measurements of the battery compartment of the 124008.
Do you know them by any chance? ;)
@@lillekenatnek195 sorry, can't take measurements now as it is at a friend.
i covered my metal bumper in polymorph plastic. people seem to break their chassis where it meets the front metal bumper, chassis are cheap but yeah i'd rather avoid it
Thanks for video! Super helpful!!
Are the diffs & driveshaft the same/standard diffs that Wltoys has been using? Or are they unique to this model?
Are
As far is I see, they are the same size, but the assembly seems a bit sturdier.
Why not put grease on metal parts and joints?
Sand will stick to it and therefore wear it out more quickly
I thought the gearbox is seperate from the chasis.
Ciao, che servo consiglieresti di ricambio? Di quanti kg ? Sai di quanti kg è il servo di serie?
Hi, the standard is a 9g i think.
Here's a option to replace it for a 17g which probably will fit. Make sure to measure (S0017M)

Be fun if there was an option for a kit to build.
Agreed!
Hey nice to meet you. Are the screws Phillips or Jis? Can you recommend tools?
Hi, As these are Chinese, it's probably Jis. Sorry, I don't have recommendations.
how you solved the shock touching in dogbone?
I didn't. Just run it like that. But you can use a spacer on the top mount
@@hofsplace thanks a lot. do you have any link for that ? :D
@@RicardoFerreira82sim just use a metal or plastic O ring
the rear axle cups are shiit, after 5 battery cycles, they completely broke
Is the chassis interchangeable with mjx 1/16😂?
Sorry, not sure about that
Will the dogbones and cvds fit the 144 and 124?
Not a 100%sure, but all geometric seems the same
Are these the same diff size as the mjx hyper go 16208?
Sorry, can't tell
Is it still the 0.7 mod gears?
0.7? I'm not familiar with that number
man i was running mine on sand tonite and the spur started making a funky mesh noise. yay, i got a lot of screws to undo...
oh great my spur is missing a tooth. not much dirt in there other than the remains of the tooth tho
I don't mind the plastic chassis as it can flex where aluminium will bent. Ai, good luck with the repair 💪🏼
@@hofsplace thanks. i'll clean it all up and put it back together tomorrow while i wait for a new one to come in. the mesh always sounded a bit off from new
i think the plastic is a huge improvement for durability, agility and price. but that metal bumper has zero give
@@shadyhazza indeed, for this one, plastic is better. Also it reduces stress on the motor because of the weight reduction
@@hofsplaceunfortunately i'm looking at that plastic motor mount for the culprit for the missing spur gear tooth - there's sideways play on the motor that bit tomley also
What grease??
Ooo, nooo, did yours came dry?
@@hofsplace every time, lol
That's why I go through everything even before its first run, I just don't trust even the best of brands as these cars are assembled by multiple people and no two people ever do the same thing, like most will put grease in and one lazy dude won't as an example, and thats so bad espeacialy with all metal gearing with even only one run 👀
hey my. can you help me please. I broke a gear tooth, replaced it with a new one. Now it seems like the gears come loose a little and it makes a strange noise. like scratching. Is it normal for the gear to move a little and so does the engine??

Feedback
Which gear did you replace?
I replace de spur gear. The big One
@@user-ol9cz6ju1fdid u use the original? I tried once a 'upgraded' version, but that didn't fit as it should
Thanks for responding again. Yes, I bought the original part. it fits perfectly. When I test how the buggy is still disassembled, when accelerating the car the engine rises a little in the fittings and the rack also moves a little, but supposedly after fitting the fitting cover it should no longer do this because everything is tight. I've already disassembled it several times, I've tried everything and it still makes the same noise😡😡
@@user-ol9cz6ju1f sorry, can't tell this way whats wrong.
If you live in Portugal, I can take a look?
What size is the motor? thank you
Hi, it's a 2848 size, 3400kv
@@hofsplace Thank you 😊, I'm getting this model next week and I'm going to make an fpv car.
Can i use the shock tower from the 124017 ?
Probably you can make it work.
Dutch?
Yes
