Great video, Just to let you know, I pick a 2938 4850KV Part # L6149 from Riptide Rc Racing and put it on my EMB-1 Buggy and is running great, doing 49 to 52 MPH on 2S, is a bit pricey $4199 but this is the hobby. Since you have a good set up with the 144001 maybe that will be a good motor to try. Love your channel And glad to know that Dave is doing good, Just to let you know I am a 63 year old kid and retired and coming back to the rc word back in march 2020 and in less than six months already own eleven rc's. Trying to find something fun to do with this covid -19 situation and the 144001 is the cheapest car I own but the most time consuming to get mod. I will be waiting to to see what is your next video.

I wouldn't recommend any wet conditions because it will slowly mess up your rc car, bearings will get noisy, motor will start to screech, and the esc will eventually burn out, even small puddles can cause problems later down the road, with your electronic and bearings, if you run the rc in water, rain, snow, puddles dry the rc with compressed air when finished or with blow dryer If you live in areas where they use salt to de ice I'd recommend staying away from any road salted roads parking lots or paths, but this is my recommendation if you have any second guesses about where or when you want to run your rc car don't do it but if you just want to have a good time for a short period of time run it however you decide but stuff will wear out and need replacing If you take a bit of caution when playing. about weather, when, where the rc car will last a long time as long you take care of it

How are you using a smaller pinion with the stock motor mount? It has predrilled holes and I would think you would need slots in your motor mount to move the motor closer to the spur.

Because there are an extra two other mounting holes in the motor mount. When you use the smaller can motor with the 15t pinion, you are good to go.

Hi, I am a newbie. Thanks for sharing your brushless upgrade with 2440 4600kv. I just ordered all the components and will upgrade exactly the same as you did, because I agree that it is the most realistic build considering the small space on 14401, and as you achieved 54 mph it is an enough speed for me. My bit concern is, with a small diameter (compared to 3650 brushless), will it stand the heat, especially when using 3s?

I had the same problem with it going into limp mode. Did you ever figure out what is causing it? Battery too small?

I had the limp mode when I used the brushed setup with the hobbywing 1060 esc. Is this what you are referring to? My brushless setups were good, no limp.

So it's a little slower than the 144010 as standard. Or about the same speed. Some have reached 66 and some 70. But the 144010 goes for 3s with a battery of 90-100kmh. Admittedly, I don't know if it can withstand 3 s of use

So when i raced on carpet back in the late 90s all we had were nicads but i mainly ran the "stock" class and imo that 550 can motor is a "stock" motor but its timed really slow and im betting its a cheap crawler motor or what was called 17.5 spec class motor thats why wltoys ran the 27T pinion. Why does this matter? well i think your 13T motor is a "mod" motor and pulls way to many amps for a small esc. When i raced stock class was a 27T motor but they would blow that 550 motor away. I remember running a bunch of them but off the top of my head was one called "the Trinity green machine or the midnight" it was a fixed timing 24 and 34 degrees (all stock motor were fixed timing) but it was 27 turn and im sure it would of #1 ran faster then that 550 #2 ran fine on that stock esc. Now i know people claim or ive read that the stock wltoys motor was a 17 turn but im betting it has a low timing or something to keep it from drawing a ton of amps like your 13T one did. I think if you gave the brushed setup another shot with an actual 27T "stock" brushed motor you will be suprised at the results. Brushed motors are like tube amps there is something different about them that makes them special. Brushless is cool but they seem to be missing something

Ah the 90s! My JRX-2 years! hahaha. I had a trinity 9t motor in my losi back then, with a tekin ESC. Great times. But yeah I would consider the brushed again, I used the 15t yeah racing with the stock 27t in the wltoys.
