Hi Jon I would like to update my 144001 motor, brushless ,3650 4300KV ESC 120A , servo 21G . TX RX piece combo SET. Did you make videos where you do this update?
Hey my friend. Jon that grease definitley looked very light, just like mine were. They’re not sealed so you can’t put the fluid, but you can pack them full of grease and they’re awesome when you do. I packed both mine in the buggy, front and rear full of black automotive grease totally full. The car handles 100 times better.
Hi John, Thanks for all the vids, theyve greatly helped me fixing both my WLtoys and Rlaarlo Could you clarify if this would be a simple transplant? or is more work required for the slipper clutch to work on the wltoys? I ask because i am planning on installing it, but im not sure what needs to be filed down (your reply to Jasonehardy). Thanks in advance!
Hi John, thanks for the vid. I got an after-market slipper drive shaft for my 144010, virtually identical to the one in the video. It fit well but for one thing. The cup/gear that connects to the front differential didn't turn freely when the diff housing was tightened back down with obvious consequences. Ended up getting a full refund after making a video to send to AllExpress. Did you try running the car with the transplanted slipper in it?
I had same problem just took the spacer off and filed it down. It's a tad to thick and makes the bearings sit funny, they sit tight either side of the bearing divider on the bottom and angle together at the top so when the top goes on the bearing divider in the top gets forced between the bearings and it all jams up. I must of filed 0.2mm off of it and it sits perfect no in an out play no binding no grinding. You could even remove the spacer and build it up with shims an washers if you have them so it's perfect fit. Filing was a pain keep putting it together testing and take it apart again but it works.
The slipper clutch will reduce wear on the drivetrain, as well as allow your driveshaft to slip when accelerating hard as to not backflip/burnout. Allows for a smooth power delivery once the slipper clutch spring has been adjusted to not be too tight, but also not too loose.
If you're using your car for bashing and enjoy that direct power delivery, feel free to have the slipper clutch tightened down so it wont slip at all/very little. But for speedruns, it's good to have it set to slip for a second or 2 so you're able to go full throttle without worrying about going into a wheelie on your initial hard launch.
Rlaarlo WL toys LC racing all the same trucks just about every part on the 3 of them are changeable. Not a good idea to just snug the diff screws. They loosen up big time by experience .
Appreciate the hell out of your thorough videos, John! I've learned a lot from you in recent months of getting into the hobby myself.

thanks for that.. appreciate the detailed description. @@jayhow997
Ive had the best luck with Black automotive bearing grease because it’s high temp
Hey Jon, thinking about turning my am-x12 into 2wd. Remove the central driveshaft and presto.
Gonna be very heavy in rear
Hi John,
What are the benefits of the slipper clutch ?
So you do not damage the drivetrain as bad. Allows some give when launching hard
The slipper clutch will reduce wear on the drivetrain, as well as allow your driveshaft to slip when accelerating hard as to not backflip/burnout. Allows for a smooth power delivery once the slipper clutch spring has been adjusted to not be too tight, but also not too loose.

Can the dog bone fit in the knuckle on wltoys 124017 v2
Can the dog bones fit on wltoys also

Hello, will it work with the wltoys 124008?
Or you can buy an Rlaarlo in the first and be happy with it.
You didn't test it, you didn't even assemble the thing
That looks like a raallaro
Dude didn't show the assembly to adjust the gear mesh on spur gear and motor gear. Wasted my time!!!!
Muito topp.
