WLtoys 144001 13t 540 brushed motor and a new ESC and another new ESC. 😳🤔
This it’s a very fun little RC car. It’s fun right out of the box or there are plenty of mods you can do to it with brushed or brushless motors.

Pretty impressive speed for 2S I'm excited to see what does on 3S. It's also very quiet. Awesome video!

Thanks bro! I’ll run it in a bit more on 2s and track the temps. If I think it will handle 3s I’ll try to get that on Monday. I also need to find some place that actually has a straight section in it. BTW: I’m using an AGD lav mic into a Tascam DR-07x for my audio. I just bought a wireless mic to test so I’ll try and get on that soon.

I haven't read through all the comments, but I know a much easier solution to the wheel/axle nut problem... Just get a thinner wheel hex. Example..my stock hexes on my Losi M8 was like 8mm thick, but the aluminum hexes I replaced them with are only 5-6mm thick. Leaving more threads at the end. I didn't do it to gain more threads, the axle shafts we're properly sized, but I always have a little thread showing no matter what rims I put on it. Look for a set of MRC aluminum hexes, or touring car 12mm hexes, which generally have a thinner profile than off-road 1/10 hexes. Just a thought 🤔
@RCModSquad
@RCModSquad Жыл бұрын
I agree. I have a lathe so I can cut the hexes down as necessary. They really caught the short axle problem quickly so it was only the first few cars that went out that had the problem. It seems all the replacement axles were the correct length. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day and be safe out there.

I just recommend not using 3s on the stock electronics and not using a lower turn count motor even on 2s unless you gear the car down, which is a hassle since the motor mount isn’t adjustable. I new stock ESC is pretty cheap if you can wait on one from China and not too bad if you pick one up from amazon or ebay.

Do you know what the turn count is on the stock motor? It seems like a lot of people do 540 size, but what if I stuck with 550 size?

Sorry for the slow reply Matt. I’m not getting notifications on a lot of my videos. I’m 500 miles from my cars right now but I’m pretty sure the stock 550 is a 17t. A 540 17t usually has a few more RPM so a little less power and a little more speed. The ESC on this thing is the question mark for what you want to do. Some run fine in 3s, some move about a foot and some let the magic smile out when you connect the battery. If you watch the run video I did with paddle tires in the snow, that was all stick on 3s. It did 40 mph and was quick. I think the paddle tires just had too much traction in the snow and I did overheat the ESC. On this car the ESC “should” be comparable to the rating for the stock ESC. I wanted the range and adjustability of the DumboRC radio is the main reason for changing the ESC. The 13t motor I’m using here is prey quick and fast. If you put a fan on it it might handle this motor but again all the factory ESC’s don’t seem to be created equal. If this didn’t answer what you needed or sparked another question let me know. Thanks for watching and for the question. Have a great day and be safe out there!

Hi, asking a question for advice, i am a newbie :) I bought and recived two 144001 two weeks ago. My issue is that i already have burned two motors. It has happened after just 10 minutes running on included LiPo 2600mA battery. The car stops and smokes. I have only half speed adjusted on the controller. MY QUESTION: Is this common? Will a heatsink solve this overheating issue? Is there a better more durable brushed motor exchangeble with the original stock 550 motor? Thanks in advance!
@RCModSquad
@RCModSquad Жыл бұрын
Sorry for the delay, it’s been a very busy few weeks. I would say it is definitely not common to burn up the stock motors. If you were running five or six full packs without a break to cool off on a hot day this could happen but not on a single pack. A heatsink never hurts anything but shouldn’t be a requirement on a stock car. Two things pop into my head. One would be if you are running oversized tires. And secondly, and most likely, if you tighten the wheel nuts too tight they don’t turn freely and that greater increases the load on the motor. If you watched any of the other videos that told you about the wheel nuts falling off you might have them too tight. The 12mm plastic wheel hex is very easy to over tighten. Aluminum hexs are much more forgiving. Higher turn motors run cooler but slower, lower turn motors run faster but hotter. Let me know if any of this helps and we can explore more if needed. Have a great day and be safe out there!

I'm going to be buying a 12428, and I'm definitely going to be switching away from the stock electronics. And I was considering moving it to a brushless motor, but seen a few videos where its just notchy in low speed situations (I do believe cogging was the term) vs a brushed motor, and I seen a few videos where the brushless motor was really smooth, so I guess motor and or ESC or both play a role in this. I like speed, but I also like some low speed stuff like a little trail running and climbing. So I was considering staying brushed but with a different motor, but still swapping out the electronics. It seems like this brushed motor has a little bit of grunt to it. I'm also looking at the Flysky FS-GT5 that comes with a receiver ( I need a good all around remote as I do have other RC cars, while 6 channels will be overkill, I like the overhead if I was to get something that would use those extra channels). I know that a higher turn motor will result in lower top end but more torque, and a lower KV rating. And a lower turn motor will result in a faster top end, but lower torque but higher KV. I'd like it to still be fast, but have torque as well (gearing plays a roll here as well). I don't really want to go with lipo, but if I absolutely have to I will have no choice (going to need a lipo fire bag and a fire proof box of some kind).
@RCModSquad
@RCModSquad 3 жыл бұрын
Great questions. There are a lot of reasons for cogging. The KV and gear choice but also you can turn down the “punch” a little. It basically gives the motor and ESC time to sync up at part throttle before it turns on the full power. You can pick up a programming card or depending on the ESC program it with button pushes, by counting beeps and or LED blinks. I higher KV motor with a smaller pinion and or larger spur is an option for brushed or brushless. The gear combo slows you down and gives more torque regardless of the KV but you’re still need a high KV to keep some speed. The 12428 has enough room in the battery tray to put 2 2s li-ion batteries in and you can buy or build a 2s parallel harness for it. It sounds like a fun project.

I think one of the problems is there are people passing off copies of other peoples stuff. It can be hard to find a source for the real products made by some companies. It doesn’t mean that none of the clones work but it’s hard to trust people that take shortcuts and copy stuff.

@@Nlangkirby135 You’re welcome! In reality there are only a few companies that make the parts for everyone. You can certainly change the specs and put your name on them. I contacted one company that builds off road RCs and I can spec them out to include real oil shocks, choose the color and decal pack and call them whatever I want. But I had to order a minimum of 5000 units. I’m sure it’s the same for motors and ESCs. Have a great day and be safe out there!

Sir which is the best brushed motor for 14401??
@RCModSquad
@RCModSquad 2 жыл бұрын
I think a 15t to 17t would be a choice. I think those would keep the heat from building up too much if you bash a lot. If you just plan to do short speed runs the 13t does a good job but you need to watch the temps on the motor and the ESC pretty close.

PERTH WEST OZ RC I was wondering if that was the same one you had problems with. I couldn’t remember which car it was in but I was gonna go look later. It was quirky from the start. If I hit it hard it acted like a low battery shutdown. If I eased into the throttle it would go. I made two low speed passes then tried the punch again and it worked. I did one high speed run which went well then turned around and hit it again and when I let up it didn’t slow down but started looking like a smoke bomb and stopped. Thankfully I didn’t have the body on it at the time. I might try to contact them and see what they say. Thanks for dropping by and have a fabulous day my friend.

@@johnporter1613 thanks for checking it out and your support. The V1 and V2 should all be sold out by now. The V1 had short axles that didn’t engage the Nylock nuts very well. I think the V1 was also the only one without the hole in the rear arm for droop screws. If you have the the V2 or V3 they should be the same except for the red button on the ESC. The ESC performance should be the same on all three. I wouldn’t gamble on the 3s lottery. The very latest ones along with the 124018 and 124019 have a sticker on the ESC that says 7.4 volts. I have the 124018 and my 124019 showed up yesterday. I should get a couple of videos out on those soon. I’m waiting on a few supplies right now. Have a fabulous day and be safe out there.

At one time all my neighbors were at work for a couple of hours while I was home so I could run it in the street but I’ve got new neighbors now that have little kids so I don’t want to wake them up. I think most anything I might move that motor to would use the same shaft length since they all pretty much use the same 540 or 550. I doubt I’ll move that though. It’s a pretty good match to that car.

@@RCModSquad I loved all my nitro stuff even way back when my SG red one was current (a real Italian SG before they got bought over) on 25% nitro I could get lean enough to hit 60mph genuine through a speed trap and a bit more fully wound out but that needed a fair bit of space. Alot of KZfaq video showing GPS speeds but unless the tech has moved on massively they give an average speed over a long distance fairly accurate but short bursts can be a bit erratic. My stack pro race can read 1 or 2 mph sitting still and that's a £500 instrument.

@@captainchaos3053 it depends on the refresh rate on the GPS. The accuracy is great but you have to maintain the speed for a bit to lock it in. They will always read low so that’s better than too fast. I’ve run several in my personal vehicles and if I hold a steady speed for a few seconds they all show the same speed but rapid acceleration some will be a bit behind. I have a cheap one that was actually made for a bicycle. The application didn’t require a need for rapid acceleration. 😂 It’s very accurate but you need to hold the speed too long. One extra second at 70+ mph is too long for the places I have to do my speed runs. 😳😉
