AWESOME video and greetings from Nashville, Tennessee USA :)

Thanks and welcome

[@rizzbizz8195]

Dude I saw that Santa Cruz board. I used to skate the Roskopp back until 1991. Oh yes nice rc..lololololx6

[@MrMad2424]

Good stuff Richie. Hang a brushless system in it and show em' what it can do.

[@andyroo8uk685]

the only guy to run a 50c 3s on new/2nd gen esc of them without it shouting fire GGZ

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

I never had the 144001 with a problem on 3s although I know a few people did. I tend to feed the power in fairly smoothly rather than just gassing it! Saying that in this body it's not got a lot of ventilation as the body is sealed to the chassis!

[@andyroo8uk685]

@@DriftomaniacsRC ive never ran mine on 3s on stock (wish i tryed now as stock esc just sat in a box lol) do you have any upgrade plans (worlds fastest 124018 ;)

[@birminghamgtrc]

I haven't ran mine on 3s yet but man it look fast and I agree it look like a lot more in it. I did speed run both mine on 2s only and this was 3kph slower so almost same as buggy just air drag it only difference. But when I went for a bash man the 124018 came out on top for me but I mess up video lol hat cam angel was crap so couldn't see car at distance lol but I'm gonna try put something together today to post. These new WLtoys will be a lot of fun.

COOL shirt!

I just noticed it and then saw your comment!

[@peopleskillz]

Ordered mine 2 weeks ago, should arrive in another 2 weeks....

[@whitmanft]

and what is the red mode button on the stock transmitter for?

[@jasonc9795]

Hello there can you send me the information on what motor and ESC to buy for this car thanks have a great day Jason

[@dong0281]

the video quality is so good. What kind of action cam do you use? and ovonic 2s 2200mah battery, is it good for 124018?

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

4k gopro 7 for the outside shots, the ovonic pack would be ideal choice for this car giving you 30+ easily

[@dong0281]

thanks for your answer and I have another question. is it no problem using 2200mah 3s 11.1v 50c of ovonic? I wonder it is enough to set in the body and anthing else to motor

[@workshopmanual]

Could I ask how long these batteries take to charge + is there such a thing as a fast charger.

[@whitmanft]

if I change to brushless ..3300K.. , will the the stock 60amp esc work w/ it?

[@norcalrc]

Gonna need a bigger boat. You know like in jaws? That thing was ripping richie

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

That gets comment of the day award! Have a good thanksgiving

[@norcalrc]

@@DriftomaniacsRC I hope the drift o maniac family has a wonderful thanksgiving too

[@acche-rc]

oh? i thought 3S kills the stock esc?? you're lucky!

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

Nope!!! see my videos of the original 144001 running on 3s without a problem as well!

[@bobbyconway7751]

I just picked my 018 up and it came with a 2200 ma battery

[@dauntlessfpv]

How hot does that brushed motor get?

[@davidtruelove5022]

Too hot! Lol

[@mbrrideitlikeyoustoleit8436]

Can I run 3s on this car the same 3s battery you have

[@helmetsandsunscreen]

Does it share parts with the 144001? Thanks

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

Yes all transmission and electrics EXCEPT body, chassis and driveshaft, as the 124018 & 9 are 5cm longer, all the rest is the same though the shock position/mounting on this is different to the 124019 and 144001

[@jesperschonemann4792]

Just ordered a 3S 4200miliamp 60C for it

[@jesperschonemann4792]

And a 4S 4000mAh and a 6S 3300mAh. Will report when it fries

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

Love the looks of the desert buggy! Kinda reminds me very much of Tacons desert buggy; kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpfVeGl7qd-Nhbc . Maybe even a rebadge of it. Either way it’s a down right beast! Great video Rich! 👊🏼✌️

[@HH-zg8zm]

You make some great videos but one thing I don't see is videos on the best cars for families to get in to rc together. Race bash etc. Showing the fun of this for families. To get into rc. Let's face it ime 52 and got my son into rc but most look like rcs are kids toys only. We need people to show the fun for families to keep rc going. Sad we are loosing stores and tracks. My rc store had carpet track drift track and kids off road . The kids off road brought him parents . Who would see the cool cars and would get into it. Sad he had to down size now just drift.

[@HH-zg8zm]

Ps there is nothing I love more when other parents see the fun we are having . They ask slot of questions I keep our smaller cars with us and let them rip them. We have only one shop close and most of the time they go to our store starting with smaller fast cars .

[@tulste]

what is 2s/3s?

[@cjandsara1]

Just got one off ebay with three batteries for $114

[@WeAreRandomBoys]

Is it ok to use a 2S 5200mAh battery in this thing?

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

2s is fine even a big pack, I run mine on 3s BUT some people have had issues not me! But I thought I'd mention it

[@nobbystyles4807]

[@The8429]

Are you able to up the pinion?

[@andyroo8uk685]

0.7 pitch ( hard to find) and it has 27t anyway and could easy reach 70mph with that stock pinion on a brushless

[@davidtruelove5022]

@@andyroo8uk685 you can just use a large pinion gear as your spur gear and make it what ever pitch or module you want. He did a video on it about a year ago.

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

you're right on the gears just no one seems to sell them or if they do they're the same sizes as the stock pinion and spur! That said @David Truelove is right I've shot a video on a way around it. you can use mod 1 gearing and secure the grub screw to the flat spot on the motor shaft, you'll then need a 3.2 to 5mm adapter sleave for your motor then you can run any ratio you want with mod 1 gears

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

David MUCH appreciate you diving in and answering this one!

[@andyroo8uk685]

@@DriftomaniacsRC have you seen the lc racing ajustable mount ive been eyeing one up as i dont want drill but want a smaller tin size to a 3650

[@KurtsRCs]

It's fast on 3s I thought it was going to pop the Esc on 3s. Everyone else is popping the Esc

[@PERTHWESTOZRC]

He got lucky that's all, most of these escs pop instantly on 3s

Haha I know I was waiting for it to pop but it never did I was kind of disappointed 😂😂 no just playing I don’t wish that on anybody
