Waiting for mine planning keeping it stock just for general bashing next to my 4s kraton and outcast. My wltoys a959 was junk had to upgrade a lot of stuff and decided to sell it and get the 144001
Impressive. Can you please update your links. I can't seem to find the motor, spur gear, pinion gear and ESC you used. I only see the servo but there's two. Which did you use? Mind sharing the link for the tires too?
Nice! Can't wait to tinker with mine! Just got it yesterday and completely shattered the wing within a couple minutes. Hit a crack on the black top at full speed and slammed it on the roof. Surprised that it was so brittle, but I'll get a something else to replace it.
You'll love this thing it does 40 out of the box on 3s. Fitting good battery in is the main issue. just about to try another couple of options this afternoon
I found this part number SKU00042219 on wiltoys.com But I was wondering if there was aftermarket parts that were stronger or if these are stronger parts ;thanks for the video
id love to know how you got this motor mount on the car, just got it in the mail and cannot seem to get it in right? did you have to grind anything down?
How do you keep these super fast RC’s on their wheels?!? My Ampro Engineering SuperFly 3.0 with brushless 3s lipo combo keeps doing kartwheels! Every time I run it I end up flipping it!
Nice vid Rich! That buggy is quick for sure. 👍🏻👍🏻 My guess is that 3s pack doesn't have the discharge rating to supply the 540 sized brushless system with the power it needs for this type of running. That's a 1/18 sized lipo powering a 1/10 brushless combo. Short run times aside, hopefully it won't cause any safety issues.
It's a 75C discharge rate BUT I do agree with you and am keeping a close eye on it, only two body clips to rip off if I see smoke! It did about 6 flat out passes before shutting down which looking at it wasn't bad. Tomorrows pinion may have it working harder! And I had the throttle D/R turned down! So more to come even with this combo!
Sean I just used stock mod one gears (no name brand just ones I had to hand but any cheap mod one gears will do as it's not putting out huge power, with a 5mm hole in them which was enough to go over the centre driveshaft, I think I quoted the number of teeth in the video. Sorry for delay in getting back to you. I've done another video where I went through the mod 1 conversion here it is - th-cam.com/video/b27BQ0fXCNc/w-d-xo.html
The only problem with this is the gears are only good for speed runs,on off throttle for bashing will get elecs too hot even though their the same diameter as stock gearing its way more aggressive pick up with the mod 1 unless you put a guard underneath the car and run a bigger spur size mod 1.
Hey Ritchie, awesome setup, will definitely be trying this on mine. One question i had though, how are your outdrives holding up? I have a brushless system in mine running 3s, and after just 3 packs through it, there are already deformation on the outdrive cups. I just don't think they can handle the torque very well. Thanks!
Why would changing the gearing have such an impact of speed considering you keep the ratios intact? That must be due to differences in efficiency (higher resistance in the stock gears), right?
is there room to mount a 3670 or 4068 ? There's room to move the servo forward? or clip the servo's ears..ect ...120A on 4s. F it 150A esc is only $45 :-P
Hi i have no idea on the can sizes you mention (Sorry not sure on those sizes), It's a 3650 can size stated on the motor. I think moving the servo could be done but it might involve a lot more work. I was trying to squeeze all this in and keep everything within the stock body. you couldn't clip the servos ears I think without causing problems due to the way the servo mount is. Not sure what you mean on the 120A 150A etc, can you expand?
@@DriftomaniacsRC He has a 3665 at least on 120A esc on his 70mhp set up. The esc is just mounted to the center rail..(The truggie body allows him to do that)..but you can get 150A surpass, now for only $45-$50. A 120A esc is $35 I just use Industrail 550 motor mount $1 ( im a cheap bastard) lots of toys... on 40mm motors( clear it)..i just ream the center a little bit to allow the motor to pivot for pinon changes. It's over power it kind da...for a 1/14 lol but for a speed run demon to break records.... They make 4s packs for r/c planes/drones..ect 150A...that's just for heat management or 6s?? lol
Hey bud....the linknfor the gearing you used isn't there. Can you supply me with that please. I have used a lot of your ideas with my cars that you use on yours. Thanks.
traxxas mini servo I had spare (others are much cheaper!!!) Spur is 29T traxxas mod 1 one I had spare and that's about the same size as stock spur, 17T mod 1 pinion, although I'm trying to test more combos today but rain not helping!
ah the aim amongst a few of us has been to see how fast we can get a stock bodied, stock tired car to go. Although I am going to try it on foams very soon!

Where did you get the spur gear? I'm trying to upgrade mine
Nice Pass Richie! Awesome setup and speeds. Thanks for the shoutout as well! I might get to get another pass in tomorrow with mine.
Waiting for mine planning keeping it stock just for general bashing next to my 4s kraton and outcast. My wltoys a959 was junk had to upgrade a lot of stuff and decided to sell it and get the 144001
I bought same car for my kid last night. I have to say I'm impressed.
Awesome job. Where are the links to all the bits for the upgrade?
Great little beast,for the money you can't go wrong. I love the cheap stuff as well. It's all good fun.
Impressive. Can you please update your links. I can't seem to find the motor, spur gear, pinion gear and ESC you used. I only see the servo but there's two. Which did you use? Mind sharing the link for the tires too?
I need help finding the mod1 spur and pinion
Well I now know what I’m doing when I get mine. Thanks for this. Thing is a rocket 🚀
Hey there ;) Please update the Link to the Mod1 Gears. Thank you a lot!
Nice! Can't wait to tinker with mine! Just got it yesterday and completely shattered the wing within a couple minutes. Hit a crack on the black top at full speed and slammed it on the roof. Surprised that it was so brittle, but I'll get a something else to replace it.
Do you plan on sharing your gearing info with us?
Their listed in the description.
I cannot find the gear links anywhere on any videos. Did you remove them?
The link isn’t there for the gears.
That’s awesome definitely buying and trying
Wow great speed runs with that Wltoys RC
Do you have a baggood link to the brushless Combo?
Can you provide the gearing (pinion and spur size:tooth count)? Excellent modification!
I'll have them up later today sorry out at the min
Driftomaniacs are u still out? As i would also like to know thanks...
Did I miss something or is everything listed in the discription EXCEPT the motor, esc and gearing. Did I miss it?
Fantastic speed Run, I really carnt wait to get mine, thanks for sharing Bro and a great video 👍😁👍

Stop making good vids you keep making me buy rc‘s
i do not see links to all the parts you changed on this car... you said around $40 for esc/motor etc...
Link for gears plz
Can you link the gears you used?
I see the other post want to know the gear specs and where you got them
Sean let me look them up for you tonight

A link to the exact mod1 gears would be appreciated.
Thanks!
I appreciate your videos, I’m waiting on mine to be delivered. 👍
great runs.
did you use gyro? does it make a big handling improvement with this car since its so short??? thanks sir

nice work bruv

It's pretty insane to say the least. A little rocketship! 🚀
I was trying to find the link to the gears is it posted?

They're all good at the minute however a traxxas velineon system going in it today if I can get time!
Why would changing the gearing have such an impact of speed considering you keep the ratios intact? That must be due to differences in efficiency (higher resistance in the stock gears), right?
No you're not keeping the ratios the same, You're keeping the total diameter of the gears the same but not the ratio!
Very nice mine is on its way
Nice one Ritchie! Think I’ll have to get one 😬
Glad to meet you the other week, I shall try and bring this down to JJ's tomorrow if I can get time
Nice video.
Wich setup have you put in your rc car? Wich brushless motor?.... 😉
4300kv although battery is just 850mah and it's too small! 2200 one would work better but squeezing it in is the issue
Nice build for a cheap price
No link for the gears
17/29 sorry for the delay
@@DriftomaniacsRC link?
I dont think he wants us to have the link 😒 whats the point of making the video if your not willing the share?
a959b motor mount?
is there room to mount a 3670 or 4068 ? There's room to move the servo forward?
or clip the servo's ears..ect
...120A on 4s. F it 150A esc is only $45 :-P

It's over power it kind da...for a 1/14 lol
but for a speed run demon to break records....
They make 4s packs for r/c planes/drones..ect
150A...that's just for heat management or 6s?? lol
What are the common problems about this buggy?
Hey bud....the linknfor the gearing you used isn't there. Can you supply me with that please. I have used a lot of your ideas with my cars that you use on yours. Thanks.
Earl let me count the gears in the morning as I've a desire to get this thing over 80 and have a new smaller 3s pack come in today
Oh, and where did you get your motor mount?
I went kinda crazy with mine, put a traxxas vxl motor in mine...wow
What servo are u using? And where did u get the spur
traxxas mini servo I had spare (others are much cheaper!!!) Spur is 29T traxxas mod 1 one I had spare and that's about the same size as stock spur, 17T mod 1 pinion, although I'm trying to test more combos today but rain not helping!
I guessed 50 and 70. Not far off. I’m scared to try a speed run lol
why not use on road tires?
ah the aim amongst a few of us has been to see how fast we can get a stock bodied, stock tired car to go. Although I am going to try it on foams very soon!
How about adding a front wing to keep the nose down? I guessed 66.
I've just tweaked the suspension and tried it in the rain, no lifting this time but too much weather to get GPS signal!
72 mph guess on 3s
Yeahhh 100th like.......
What's the part # on that pinion bro?? Crazy build I want it haha
Hi check out the video I did on the mod 1 conversion for this car and that’ll show how you can fit any mod 2 gear to it
How about a link to these gears?
Hi
How do you get The top brace to fit and not. Rub on the spur gear?
Rc master hit 140km
yes I saw that, doubt he could fit his electrics under the stock body like this though!!! And on 4S
No im just sharing. Its pretty col though. Stock gearing on 6s lol
2s 33mph
54 MPH ON 2s!! and on the little battery at that! wooow im fascinated!, ppsh 33 wow
3s wow since you hit 54 on 2s man you have got to hit 57-60 edit:after watching you may have gone faster
64 MPH on a stock pinion thats INSANE, i knew you were the person to talk to about making this car go fast
