I'm DONE with this RC Car! WLtoys 104001 Vs LC Racing LC10B

I'm done with the WLtoys 104001. So much hype after the success of the 144001 & 124019 (and of course the A959-B), and IMO it's a massive Flop. Stock is not powerful enough, chassis is too flexible, and now with these Carbon Fibre upgrades not fitting... I AM DONE with this RC Car! (I don't think the Carbon Fibre parts are made by WLtoys).
Ok Ok ...... Junk RC Car is a bit harsh, it's 'okay' for the money... got your attention though ;)

carbon fiber like that is for weight reduction, primarily race vehicles. it's not used to make the RC stronger, in some cases you get a loss of strength worth the weight loss. Good reviews, keep up the great work.

The Carbon chassis will fit under the alloy one and does help reduce the flex. The holes on the front need opening up to fit though. Not perfect, but works.

[@markknight4687]

[@3Y3ECE]

An honest, full scale review of the newest wl toys. I gotta say man, I feel your pain. I did all the same upgrades to my a979b, and aluminum seems to be a terrible choice for a chassis, at least, in the thicknesses that the rc engineers are putting out. 2mm and 3mm is hardly enough to help an arrma kraton 8s survive any kind of impact at any kind of speed. I believe that they could work, but flat metal is not the way to go with aluminum. If they added fluting, scalloping or even basic beam-style supports for those frames, all solid-state, they could be a dream! But the carbon fiber, that stuff is a win, when done right. The a979b carbon fiber chassis needed sanding as well, where the differentials go. The wheel arms need to be able to sit lower than parallel with the chassis, and in order to accomplish that, you have to bevel the outer edges of the differential seats to a 45 degree angle to allow for the shocks to push out to their maximum extension. But, that $75 car, that $25 chassis, $100 for electronics upgrades, $50 for the aluminum kit, $75 in tires now because I needed to buy the aluminum rim wheels because the speed and power of the upgraded 550 motor literally snaps off plastic rims. 3x sets of plastic rims now, the stock, redcats volcano-16 tires (micro badlands, I was so excited), and some off brand monster truck-esque tires, which were nice and squishy and soft foams... Way too soft, apparently... Yeah, my a979b is almost done now. It also almost $400. So you really do get what you pay for. With most rc's, if you want them to be prime and top notch, you will probably end up paying 4x what the car cost. Food for thought! Love your videos and your honesty my friend, keep doing what you do!!

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, it’s frustrating when parts don’t fit or they are sub standard. Then you add up when you have spent and you could have bought something much better. Although often it adds to the fun of the hobby 😎

[@ricardoharewood775]

Its fine depending on what you want to do with it when they release the upper radio mount for this like the 124019 its should reduce the flex to acceptable levels. Wltoys could just add creases or a bead roll to the chassis to add rigidity but retool may not be worth it as they probably make all of the chassis regardless of scale on the same line.

How you remember all those numbers of those cars is beyond me. Wltoys must name their cars by punching the number pad on the keyboard. Yeah, naming cars is hard, but simply using last week's lottery numbers as the name isn't ideal either. Appreciate the honesty and love the humor. I've also got a car that became a parts donor after the first couple of runs... The Mammoth Blitz (I think that was the name). It was the clone of the HPI Apache. Anyway, this scenario reminds of what happened to me a few years back with that Mammoth thing. Some cars just aren't worth the money AT ALL, so really appreciate the honesty here. Well done. 👍😎

[@TomleyRC]

The first 2 numbers are the scale.... as for the others... your guess is as good as mine haha. I often will except that some stuff is a lesser quality, and that’s usually reflected in the price. But this thing was just pushed out off the hype of the smaller scale ones that everyone is running (which are decent for the money). Putting crappy electronics in, and sub standard metals ruined what good have been a half decent buggy. As for the Carbon.... well 😅

That's called caster angle. Helps track the front wheels AND makes the suspension more efficient for soaking up bumps

[@TheRCMaster]

That's funny when Makerfire was asking my opinion about the carbon fibre chassis a few weeks ago they clearly explained I would have to bend the front kick on the chassis myself. I wonder why they didn't clearly explain this to you also? That's a real shame, anyhow this is far better than a 144001 or a 124019 for speed run. Keep an eye on my channel to see what these cars are really capable of 😎

[@TomleyRC]

The Carbon chassis is also about 2mm shorter and the front diff case holes are miss aligned. You also can’t heat carbon to bend it, it won’t hold its shape and you’ll more likely deform it. I’m in no doubt it’s better for speed runs...it’s bigger, wider and looks like you can gear it better. The fun for me though is getting the crazy speeds from the little ones. They’d be better selling the 104001 as a roller and knock about 25% of the price off.

[@ValleyRC]

The front kickup does two things. It has a similar effect to adding caster in that it makes the car inherently want to track straight but it also makes the cars go over bumps more smoothly because the arms are angled upwards at the front a bit so are more responsive to the wheels hitting obstacles. Definitely a facepalm not accounting for it with the carbon chassis 🤦‍♂️

You'll never get a wltoys to a quality of tlr, team asso, Schumacher etc. No matter how much money you throw at them. The quality oft the plastics and the aluminium especially is just bad. And the upgrade aluminium parts are just as horrible. The 144001 is the only decent car in their lineup, and only so if you leave it in its stock form with its mild brushed setup.

[@TheScorpionRMA]

Simple explanation of budget vs quality. For someone getting into the hobby the WLToys is okay, but not for serious stuff in standard form.

[@Clavitz1]

They need to be ready to get used to modding. At that point...just give them an Arrma or a Traxxas and skip the added steps

[@VestedUTuber]

@@Clavitz1 Arrma, yes, Traxxas... depends on the model. Their base-model brushed cars are fine for starting out, anything brushless will likely have QC issues. Also, Traxxas tries to sucker you into their product ecosystem.

[@Clavitz1]

@@VestedUTuber only cars I know that have been reliable from Traxxas is the XMaxx, TRX-4 and Rustler 4x4 VXL. I'm not familiar with the term QC, what does that stand for?

[@VestedUTuber]

@@Clavitz1 QC stands for "quality control". Traxxas tends to let lemons slip through the cracks more often than other brands. As an example, I actually have a Slash 4x4 VXL that will not move under its own power unless you push it first, and it was like that from the factory. This should have never been allowed to ship. The reason I would only recommend the brushed Traxxas vehicles for beginners has less to do with reliability and more to do with durability. Traxxas uses the same plastic parts on both the brushed models and their brushless counterparts, so the brushless models are more likely to break in the event of a crash due to them carrying significantly more kinetic energy. Technically this is also the case for Arrma's models but apart from some chassis issues with the Kraton platform Arrma tends to overbuild their cars to an extreme.

[@earlyculyer4103]

What if you use multiple shock towers and longer screws to achieve the same thickness what it cost more? Like I said using one shock tower use two of them on each end.

[@b00ts4ndc4ts]

Thanks mate, great video, I need to buy you a coffee because you have just saved me some cash.

[@TomleyRC]

No worries mate 😉👍

[@b00ts4ndc4ts]

I was going to do some up grade to my buggy and the chassis was one of them as well as going brushless, but getting the original pinion gear grub scew is a bit rounded of I think. Think I might have to drill it out. No Alan key fits

[@NoLimitRC87]

Is there carbon chassis for the 124019 yet great video m8 keep them coming

[@TomleyRC]

Not that I've seen yet

[@WellingtonIronman]

Yes there is. $43 on Makerfire.

[@NoLimitRC87]

@@WellingtonIronman ah tidy nice 1 buddy

[@Lee.gRC27]

Im a big fan of the lc racing platform ,good quality comparison 👊🏻🇬🇧👍🏻

[@deltazero3796]

I own LC R Truggy and I like it, the problem is that aincan move motor any wider becaise wanted to do speedruns on bigger gears than stock ones :) Still did 84km/h :)

[@MrJono1982]

Would love to see these compared to the car that they are based off the Xray XB4

[@petertothRC-FPV]

👍The Tacon Soar Buggy is kinda in the middle much better quality for around $210

[@charlesbeshaw9843]

Not everyone buys one to automatically upgrade it. If your having a lot of fun just using it the way it is than its worth every penny. Comparing it to X-ray, a true racing machine is not fair. Has anyone looked at the cost of X-ray replacement parts. Comparing it to LC Racing also made in China, is fair if you intended to upgrade anyway.

[@roadstar499]

as soon as the purple buggy is $90 shipped off ebay i will order... i really do like my 2 wltoys 144001's and they can be made into any car you want them to be...

[@chriscraft77022]

i want those foam wheels/tires you have on the 144001... please let me know what they are.. i swear they sell the one you hate with a metal chassis currently.. i dont think that shock tower is carbon fiber.. maybe just a sticker

[@evanwillard2811]

Definitely a good thing I didn’t fall for the hype of the 104001 I’m going with the 124019 or the 144001

[@miketoovey7182]

You get what you pay for!! but for someone new to rc it's might be worth a go 👍

[@ciaranbortolozzo6290]

Hahaha Marty would be stoked 🤣 In the bin!!!😝You need to get one of their "in the bin" shirts mate, mines on its way 🗑 Ps. That civic turned out alright hey! 😏 Ohhh hahaha and I also enjoyed the rest of the vid 🤣

[@jasonlemmond3012]

I appreciate the honesty I thought of buying one and making it nice but not now I didn’t feel you were too rough bc you buy the cheap one and break it you’re just out the around $200.00 you could be almost into something nice

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah... it’s ‘okay’.... but not sure it’ll last as long as some of the more expensive ones

[@jack-o-trades]

I ended up making a one-piece CF top plate which significantly improved the chassis stiffness. Also used went with some softer springs all around to get some good droop. What’s crazy is a lot of the plates on the WL car are steel, not even aluminum and super heavy. This car also needs a slipper of some sort otherwise you’ll keep breaking gears.

[@rcplaytime]

Good informative video,👍

[@asharc6145]

Can't put carbonfiber kit on to make it weaker, shows you that some of the cheap rcz are good & some are half cooked, good job pointing that out.

[@WRCDMB]

Lmao 😂 “in the bin” indeed

[@maccamood9159]

i haven't gotten any of these cars but im wondering cant you put the lcracing parts on to the wltoys?

[@letzvisit1661]

Can I have a link to the carbon chassis pls and do they make one for the 019 also? I think some of the carbon parts other than chassis maybe ok

[@warwickeioncampbell4737]

for making the carbon parts they are just milled out of a flat sheet of carbon. they just use a cnc machine. The problem of the aluminum with wl toys is that aluminum has many grades and some have no memory of shape.

[@michalis5817]

You have to heat it in order to bend it in the front , just use the product properly😊

[@johnhewitt6959]

Love your videos great was thinking off getting wl toys not now lol now seen buid quality shocking

[@TomleyRC]

The 1/12 & 1/14 scale ones are decent for the money

[@ggwbrc]

Thanks for the info

[@rcpd3157]

That center diff option is sweet isn't it!😎🤣

[@BUDGET_RC_RACER]

Hallo, Generally, you are of course right…👍 And of course, you clearly say that this is your personal opinion and decision… 👍 And you are also clearly explain the significant difference in price, which logically leads into technical differences, also… 👍 Now, with 1:10th scale WLtoys goes into the field of an existing, popular, official RC race-class. However, most people being interested in the new WLtoys 1:10 buggy are having their history with the smaller scale WLtoys models using those for many, many different things, but not a lot for actually racing on a RC track…and luckily those smaller models are able to handle most, what people like to do with them… 👍 Main advantage factors within this common usage: • …the "little ones" are quite solid…👍 •… and due to their small size and little wight they can be quite easily over-powered; their "out of the box" power performance is already extraordinary… 👍 Now, with the significant heavier 1:10 buggy these advantage factors are gone. Actually, this is just a logical process…😉 So, to get the similar performance out of the 1:10 like used from the smaller ones, it needs quite a lot of and RC car craftmanship experience. It is a little bit like in the time, when we just had to modify the existing race-kits to make them competitive; nowadays this is not necessary anymore. The existing race-kits are all very competitive right out of the box… 😉…it mainly depends on driving, setup and racing-tactic skills… 😉 Therefore, if I would want to go into the 1:10 4WD buggy "high end" category, I would not go with a newcomer in this field like LC Racing; unless I would enjoy to be some sort of pioneer, showing that even a newcomer brand can be competitive, also… 😉. Of course, such a project can be very fascinating and satisfying, and I know about this very nice kick, because many years ago I have very successfully raced TRAXXAS in 2WD buggy and race-truck German nationals. Going with LC Racing nowadays would be pretty much the same… 😉 But doing such a project, it is harder to be competitive than with a model from the established brands. They all have so much experience, support and team backup, which can be very easily used very effective from every driver…with LC Racing you would be pretty much alone on yourself… The only advantage would be that LC Racing seems to be a little bit better in price. profimodel.cz/de/profi-auta/290418-lc10b5001.html?gclid=CjwKCAjw-qeFBhAsEiwA2G7Nl25ajH9-qWv-0_VNpBI-SYAZox6nBFS38b4MoT_D8dYzAsIsliXUZxoCENMQAvD_BwE hk-modellbau.com/default.asp?ex=shop/produktseite.asp&kat_id=43&ak=1 But is this enough to compensate for all the advantages with the established brands…? 🤔😉😂😊… Keep on having a great RC FUN time…!!! 🍀 Thorsten 🌞 RACER - Budget RC Fun Team Germany 🍻 😉😂😊…

Waiting for gen like 3 or 4. Maybe theyll step it up by then.
