Hi Guys, love all your rc car videos! I have heard that the wl toys 144001 comes from the factory with dry differentials, like many rc cars. I neglected to lube mine on a deerc 302e and when it started clicking it was too late. I lubed it and it locked up when I test drove it, thankfully it's only the rear one!!. I'm wondering if the noise you hears in yours is one of the diffs starting to go south. Just some friendly advise. Note, replacement diffs are availale for wl toys for about 15 - 20 bucks on amazon, but lube it when new, then it's no more worry and you save several bucks. Thanks and keep up the good videos!

I had a RC10 B3 that had some slight upgrades, so some pre-assembled thing? Expected it to be just ok. Uhh, this thing is better built, faster has 4W drive and I'm blown away. My old car cost something like ...$150 just for the frame which didn't come assembled, I think it had the motor? But no servo or speed control, receiver, controller, etc. So it was another $70 for an electronic speed control and IDK how much for the servos since I think I just used one my brother had from the early 90s that he had in his King Cab. So for $130 for something that's this fast and ...pretty damn durable? I'm blown away.

[@roadstar499]

you would think they would also offer a brushless version of this???

[@10thScaleGarage]

It’s pretty fast for a brushed!

[@roadstar499]

@@10thScaleGarage i know but brushless is better... not all about spend... i have like 30 rc planes over last 10years and everything is brushless...

[@10thScaleGarage]

Well, brushless is more expensive, that’s for sure. Brushless also doesn’t have as smooth of a power curve. They don’t have as much torque down low, either. A brushless motor would’ve put this thing in the next price category, losing a huge amount of customers. They could’ve put a 380 brushless motor in it, but then it wouldn’t be any faster than it is with a brushed motor.

[@ryooperdude3144]

I also own 2 of these. Can't beat it for the price.

[@10thScaleGarage]

I need a few more!

[@mysterygaming3107]

How long did it take to arrive for you?

[@arnoldbliss6238]

144001 is a steal for the price! :~)))

[@10thScaleGarage]

Agree!

[@pierre-lucgrenon1530]

I just bought one, is it possible to do a RWD or FWD conversion??

[@10thScaleGarage]

Yup. Just remove the driveshaft.

[@pandasareasain486]

Does brushed mean able to go in water or is that brushless

[@10thScaleGarage]

Brushed and brushless can go in water, but the ESCs, receivers and servos are what you have to worry about. This car is not waterproof. Splashes are probably fine, but don’t run it through water intentionally.

[@pandasareasain486]

Thx

[@DanielDiaz_32176]

Ever figure out the clicking? Cool video.

[@MaveRick01]

Is it suitable to use on the beach? Or is it more of a tarmac car? I have absolutely no idea about RC cars and I might buy this one as my first excursion into RC world

[@10thScaleGarage]

sand is hard on RCs. i have one that i strictly use for sand.

[@chris-or2ti]

I was going through ebay and i saw one of this car for 30$ but the next day I checked it was gone I think it was sold or removed

[@10thScaleGarage]

$30?! Sold!

[@chris-or2ti]

Yeah I was going to buy it but it was gone

[@mysunsburneraccount2076]

Looks cool, do they come in bigger scaales ???

[@10thScaleGarage]

Yup. They come in 12th scale also. Check out my video.

[@noetapia520]

Awesome vid guys, I just buy my first rc car and it was actually this from your link, excited to get those lipos with it lol thanks and keep doing what you’re doing 🙌🏻

[@RCOverKill]

Have we talked about a dual motor mount?

[@10thScaleGarage]

No, but I’m picking up what you’re putting down.

[@RCOverKill]

@@10thScaleGarage you'll see it soon. I can't remember who I was discussing it with.

[@etxkevin7452]

Does the stock motor get real hot for anyone else?? Mine was really hot after 3-4 minutes of running.

[@10thScaleGarage]

It got hot, not nuclear meltdown or anything. I just use a cheap infrared thermometer that I got from Harbor Freight to check temps. Anything above 240° is hot, and you’ll want to let it cool for a bit. You can get motor heat sinks and fans from Amazon for just a few bucks and they work great.

[@etxkevin7452]

@@10thScaleGarage I have the brushless setup coming anyway. I was just kinda shocked how hot it was after such a short time. Probably just the gearing is too high. This thing is fast and fun even brushed.

[@10thScaleGarage]

For sure. It’s gonna be a weapon with that brushless setup.

[@paulspicer9898]

Definitely and that to the collection have you checked out the 9125 xinlehong my first rc . Fun little cheap dual motor RC. Then went to the arrma Granite then the arrma kraton. And I have the big rock on order. Can't have just one LOL

[@10thScaleGarage]

Nice collection!

[@alibabarouge]

could you do a video on what to buy like what would break first please? and maybe how to fix them?

[@10thScaleGarage]

I’ve done a bunch of videos like that! If you have a specific question, maybe I can answer you.

[@BJtheMountaineerguy]

Do i buy a charger separately or does a charger come with it? Thanks

[@10thScaleGarage]

It comes with a little ISB charger, but it’s definitely worth is to get a hobby grade charger and charge the battery in ~15 mins rather than 4 hours

[@BJtheMountaineerguy]

@@10thScaleGarage thanks appreciate it

[@meda2ni]

How is the parts availability on these??

[@rc3151]

Very good. The emb from lc racing and tacon soar parts fit as well... ish a lot of parts do but would do a bit of research rather than assume.

[@10thScaleGarage]

There are tons of upgrades for it, as well as all the original parts. Condensing how popular these things are, I’m betting parts will be supported for quite a while.

[@estegerset]

Buy 2nd car for parts. Its cheaper that way.. tons of upgrades

[@jaybee2596]

This drivetrain has been made into a hundred different cars...Helion Dominus, FS Maruader 53910 and several more. It is SOLID AS A ROCK !! With a brushless system they are bad ass !!

[@10thScaleGarage]

So I’ve seen!

[@marsbase3729]

Awesome, how dies this compare to the A959?

[@10thScaleGarage]

Bigger, faster, more metal components, just as much fun to drive!

[@marsbase3729]

@@10thScaleGarage awesome, thanks

[@isacvestergaard4271]

Do you know how long this thing lasts fully charged? With fast driving

[@10thScaleGarage]

8-12 mins flat out.

[@ryanpotter2327]

did you figure out what that mode button does?

[@10thScaleGarage]

Yup. It does nothing.
