Get a set of them it's much more fun when you have a set of them running vs alone. Your son well love rc never met a kid that didn't

[@JViello]

I did something similar to a 1/10th ECX 2wd Circuit. 5200kv, 120a esc, 15t pinion, on 3s. Better shocks, wheels/tires, servo and servo saver eliminator. What a blast it is to drive! SO much fun being able to power oversteer at will on tarmac, and crazy crazy power. The only enemy is heat. The motor gets HOT quickly if I'm not careful.

[@miyamotosan972]

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks dude lol

[@tallie7490]

Thanks for showing us how to do the same ,now we have our new project...

[@RCModSquad]

I went a slightly different route. I did a 2845 3930kv brushless. I kept the stock gears. I was interested in what this combo would do since I hadn’t seen anyone go with a smaller motor. I was curious what the run times would be like. I haven’t had time for run times yet but it’s doing 45 mph on 2s. Thanks for your time on this. Have a great day and be safe out there! Cheers.

[@TomleyRC]

45 is good for that small motor 😎👍

[@RCModSquad]

Tomley RC I thought so and that’s on a 35a ESC so there might be a little more. The ESC is rated for 3s so I’ll try that as well. Be safe my friend! Cheers!

[@modelnutty6503]

really great choice there, a little higher top speed and likely 20-25% longer run time too if not constantly flailing it. dropped a 2840 5000kv into my OLD Graupner Cobra boat, lots faster than it was with a 32k rpm 16D brushed motor. using a cheaper water cooled 50A brushless ESC and a cooling coil on the motor, feeding it with 3000mah 6 cell NiMh rated for 15C (45A) output. know it'll do a little better running 7.4v+ of 2000-3000mah LiPo... would take a little weight off it same time voltage+current get bumped up a little.

Ya know what? It is a lot more fun twisting and turning and sliding than simple high speed. Like driving a MG sports car in the mountains vs. a dragster down a strip. The best Fun Per Buck I have found is the WLToys 979.

[@malurt112]

Thanks, I’m going brushless now🏎💥 By the way, I’ve been using both ESC’s in this video in my other trucks, and while the dirt cheap one does not look like much it performs pretty good. It’s a copy of the Hobbywing Xerun 120A, which means that you can buy an usb adapter, got mine from Hobbyking at 6$, and program the ESC on your PC. There’s a load of settings, like 9 levels of punch(default is 7), drag brake force and other goodies, which is far more advanced than the Surplus ESC from banggood. Furthermore, both my 60A and 120A Surplus ESC’s add turboboost and jumps to 100% power, when you reach about 75% throttle. Pretty scary for highspeed runs and it also sucks a bit on the racetrack in the corners on power. The ESC you went with is not the best quality but for the price it’s the most adjustable. The main reason they burn up, is because the fan can only handle 2S voltage. So when you stick a 3S in the truck, the fan dies real quick and then the ESC doesn’t stand a chance. The solution is to unplug the fan and power it from the reciever, so it never gets more than 6V. It can also be programmed via the setup button without a program card, just look in the Hobbywing Xerun manual. Lastly, it is not waterproof, really not waterproof at all, not the slightest, especially around the setup and on/off switch, and you have to zip tie the cap pack, unless you’re ok with it bouncing around until the solder joints break.

[@modelnutty6503]

yup, they're VERY progammable, you can set up current vs time too so it'll ramp up to full power at 1 to 1.5 seconds in ms time increments you set. very cool if you're setting up a little dragster, more control over how it'll launch.

[@davidmellish3295]

I know NOTHING about rc cars,fir some reason KZbin recommended me this and straight away I'm hooked lol I want one and I will be buying one next payday for sure. Obviously I was lost with all the technical terms,2s and 3s and esc ( is that right ?) Etc ,so can anyone recommend a good first car that won't break the bank that can just be driven straight out the box as I wouldn't have a clue when it comes to changing the motor and other bits and pieces he was changing Oh and what is the esc please ?

[@Spacecadet0730]

Nice work Phil! With that 5200kv motor, be mindful of that ESC. I think that motor pulls 94A on 2S. So if you chuck a 3S in there the ESC may go up in smoke, it happened to me on a cheapo ESC and a 5200 motor. Don't want your hard work to go up in smoke! Also I don't know if you have installed droop screws yet, but limiting the arms and thickening the shock oil will help a lot for stability. Finally watch out for it flipping when you get into the 70s, a lot of us have added front splitters or air dams for downforce in the front.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, going to get a different ESC before I try 3s, cutting out on 2s is enough to tell me it’s not up to the job. I added some droop screws and lowered it a little, forgot to mention that in the video. Will look at aero next. Cheers for watching 😎

[@NordicRC]

Good speed! Good job with fitting everything,

[@TomleyRC]

[@sustorres765]

Oh wow great episode, good shout on the wheels thanks, Saludos

[@TomleyRC]

No worries mate

[@DESOUSAB]

I owe you an apology - sorry. You do discuss the difficulty getting screws out. And to be fair, if heat is applied with a torch long enough to cook the epoxy they have used with the screws, they do come out. Also - for anyone interested, I blew the stock esc running 3S. Then I installed a Rocket 4.5T 7700kv motor and blew a Hobbywing 10BL60 esc. I am waiting on a 10BL120 and a Rocket TS160V2 esc for a shot at 3S with 120 or 160amps of current. In the meantime I installed a spare HobbyWing Fusion 1800kv motor and cannot believe how much fun it is with that motor/esc combo. The FOC crawler motor makes it nimble in the house at super slow speeds, and a torque monster on the road on 3S. SO FUN!!!! I might just try a Hobbywing 3300Kv AXE motor for a high one and see what the thing is like with double the power running and FOC setup... :)

[@theminiatureconstructionco4556]

All those Wltoys buggys a seem to be very quick out the box! 😨

[@TomleyRC]

Yes they are!

[@modelnutty6503]

they DO focus too much on top speed for sales, at the expense of motor and ESC failures. its good practice to use a 2-3 tooth smaller pinion gear and put a heat sink onto the tops of the MOSFETS of their stock ESC's, if you want them to live for a while. its much better to give up some top speed in favor of snappier acceleration AND pulling less current through the battery+motor+ESC, especially if you're going to run a shorter course dirt track racing. quickness exiting one turn down a straight then entering the next turn is more important (lower lap times too) than top speed it'd never reach in a short straight-away. even if there is ONE long straight section, the quicker jams through all the short sections will get the lower lap times... its a lower top speed yes, but it reaches that top speed in a shorter distance, is much more advantageous on a short track, more fun for just bashing around because it'll also run a couple minutes longer on a charge. FAST is fun but there is a point where more of the power is just wasted making HEAT, with efficiency going right down the toilet. epoxy insulation of motor windings can burn away to short out causing ESC failure, battery pack over-heating, and heat also bakes out the strength of the motor's magnets.... way back when, running the jagged edge to go fast, we had "motor zappers". big electromagnets to restore the motor magnets field strength. put the motor in it, switch it on and let it run overnight to give the motor its torque back. on road oval racing 4 minute races we'd set up for the pack being DRAINED in 5 minutes was really hellish on battery packs, so hot you couldn't hold one with a firm grip. even the best NiCad's didn't like having 40+ amps yanked out of them. it was even worse with some of the 6-7-8 cell scratch built hydroplane boats I used to race, a race was only two minutes where pack fully drained in 3. water cooling coil around the motor, an air scoop pushing air directly into the motor's brushes trying to keep THEM cooler... crazy fun like that did get expensive!

I've got on with that blue ESC on 2s just fine but the second you plug a 3s in they seem to burn out no matter how powerful the motor is. In fact, mine burnt out on 3s after the truck had been parked up for about 5 minutes doing nothing. No load on it whatsoever. I think there's just something inside that isn't suited to the voltage even when it hasn't got any current going through it. For the price they cost, they aren't a bad unit for 2s and lower KV motors and the sensored mode is a nice bonus. I prefer the Hobbyking 120a though, it's very similar but handles 3s ok. I guess it does a better job of copying the Hobbywing lol.

Impressive how that handles the speed. I upgrades my a959 and it's useless with the speed. I decided not to go brushless with the 144001 but put a proper brushed system in it. My a959-b has a similar motor so I needed a small ESC. I tried the same one you put in. It acted up the first run and capped out on the second. I ended up going with the 60A hobbywing knockoff. It provides plenty of power and fit in front of the battery Upright on the a959-b so it will fit the 144001 easy. The only problem I had is that it will cog badly with a cheap motor but runs a decent motor very well. I'm now thinking maybe I'll put the brushed system in the a959-b and go brushless in the 144001.

Phil - quick one. The metal servo - does it fit the standard bracket or did you make some new fittings to the chassis?

[@TomleyRC]

Fits straight on mate 👍🏻

[@jspence3798]

Tomley RC much obliged 👍

[@fabiofboful]

Nice video. Do you recommend the any heat sink for this car with the standard motor?

[@TomleyRC]

If you can get one, it will certainly help

Is the gyro already mounted on the original 144001 model from Banggood?

[@DaveyGa]

Hey Phil, did the 3S brushless runs ever happen?? Can't find it on your channel. Also wondering if it might actually reach a higher top speed with the original tyres, being slightly larger and also the gearing up effect of ballooning. Dave

[@TomleyRC]

I'm just waiting to get out to a larger run area....hopefully a couple if weeks from now. The stock tyres balloon way to much and make it unstable.

I like that wing, where did you get it from?

[@rcmindset2876]

You can buy capacitors from hobby wing and solder on but it will probably burn up before you get it delivered.

[@caleb_j7193]

what is the biggest 3s battery that will fit in the 14401?

[@TangoMikeAlpha]

Does it come with proportional steering and throttle control as stock? Apologies if it has been answered already.
