I commented on my 144001 not having breaks in another video of yours now the ESC started cutting out so I got fed up and put my whole dr10 setup in it. The 1 tenth scale Dr on 3s did 50 mph stock. I have yet to see how fast my little buggy is now but at least I have breaks now and a good gyro. I wanted to keep it brushed but it didn't want me to. I had the parts for spares so I used them. I have a feeling it won't be in one piece for long.

Good evening Mr.ModSquad. I know it's been about 2yrs since ur crash. Sorry that happened to u. Part of having fun. Running them and fixing them. Looks like u got lucky with little damage though. I noticed ur used a different GPS from the video I watched earlier. That one was Meilan mini 3m gps. This video is Skyrc 010. I'm want to get one and after looking them up. The Skyrc is now 015 in ur style. I seen Skyrc has another newer one 020 with no display u need to download a app on ur phone a attach the receiver to the car etc. The 015 is a little more than double the price as the Meilan 3m. I like the bigger screen on it. Please tell me from ur experience which works best between the two. Sorry about the long message. I know ur super busy. I'm sure I'm not the only one that thank u for ur time in responding to our questions and comments. U do a very good job in doing that. I can't that u enough for ur feedback and advice. Really appreciate everything that u do. ✌️
@RCModSquad
Жыл бұрын
My thought on the Meilan are this, I think it's accurate BUT the refresh rate seems to be a little slower. I don't think it will lead to any errors of showing faster than the car is going but you might get an error that shows a tiny bit slower. Since it was really made for a bicycle it realistically doesn't need a high refresh rate since your average bicycle isn't going to accelerate at a rapid pace. If you can sustain your top speed just a bit longer it should give an accurate reading. I bought the 020 some months ago and haven't had time to take it out of the package yet. I do have plans to build another project car that will need to be speed tested. It's going to be a bit of an odd build but I think it will be interesting. I'm thinking by this spring I might have things enough in order to get started again. I do have a video with a "stocking stuffer" toy RC that will post in the morning. 😃 Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day and be safe out there.

Hello, TY for ur very fast reply. The 124019 sounds like a daring project putting the motor upfront. With ur experience and knowledge I believe u will do a great job. Probably inspire many others to follow in ur footsteps. Putting the motor upfront is a great idea for helping keeping the front wheels down for the high-speed runs. Can't wait to see it in the spring. I have thought about getting 124019 as well or the 124018. Different style. Would be nice to get both but need to stay in the fun budget. Reason for thinking the ladder is 124019 as u know is a lot like the 144001 which we both have. Just bigger 1/12 scale. Totally agree what u said about the skyrc 020. Don't need to worry about scratching it up, also if screen ever fails. I just ordered one before messaging u back. Saved a little do to Black Friday sales. Unfortunately probably won't get to test it out till spring as we just got hit heavy with snow in the past week. Hopefully the roads ahead of u are clear and safe bud. Keep safe out there. Thanks again for all ur help.

@@darrenlucas5046 I have a 124018 I'll tinker with in the future. I think I have 4 of the 144001 and 3 of the 124019. One of each still in the box. Just a heads up, check Walmart.com now and then for cars. I got the last 144001 for $40 with two batteries. The same car was listed over $100 but one dealer had it for $40. I put it in the cart and that's what they charged me. It showed up in about three days and it really was a 144001 with two batteries. 🤷 I don't know if it was just a mistake or they did it on purpose. Two days later it was over $100 again. I'm looking forward to trying the motor up front and I'm thinking a pair of batteries. One on each side. I'll try building a custom body for it. I've never done that but I'm building a vacuum pump for a few wood projects I'll be doing on one of my other channels. I can use the vacuum pump to form a body.

That Hitec HS-81 was the go to back when I was doing 1/18th scale. I had questions for you in another video, but I think this video kinda answers my questions better. It looks like the first mods should be ESC, servo, transmitter and receiver then 3s...instead of a motor swap. Because the motor swap might burn out the stock ESC anyway and the juice to go faster is really going to be coming from 3s instead of 2s. Right?

Insanis Games I guess it depends on how you use it. If you’re looking for a basher I don’t think this is it. I don’t see many buggies as good bashers. If you use it like you would normally use a buggy I think it’s great. You can use it right out of the box and it’s quick and hits about 30mph or you can do mild to wild mods on it. I think pavement, clay and carpet are the best places to run it. Dirt or sand with paddle tires is a blast if you have time to clean it well. If you want to bash and hit big jumps I’d find something with bigger tire and longer travel in the suspension. Good luck. 💯👍🏻👍🏻

Once again: nice video. My 144001 came today and is pretty good right out of the box. Since this is my first experience with rc cars and especially brushed motors I am curious what the different "turns" of the motors meant. I am guessing: leaving the motor size the same (550) and choosing a higher turn motor means more speed but less torque? And towards your intro: if your channel keeps getting more views and more comments, you will at some point find it harder to reply to most comments. Just saying you don't have to feel bad for not having the time.
@RCModSquad
4 жыл бұрын
Stefan K. Thanks for the kind words. I don’t see getting that big for a long time but I suppose it could happen. I’ll still always try to at least ❤️the comments and answer actual questions. The turns count is the actual number of wire wraps on the armature. The greater the the number the slower in RPM but greater in torque. I honestly don’t know the reason but it seems like to me with a smaller gauge wire with more turns, therefore longer thinner wire, the magnetic field would propagate slower but the saturation would be higher and create a stronger magnetic field. But again I’m just speculating. Crawlers will have 35t and I’m not sure what the highest turn count is but I’ve seen 80t motors. Thanks for watching and I hope this helped a bit. Have a fabulous day!

hoah I’m not where I can get to my shop for the next week so I can’t get a parts list. The motor I used was a 17t 540. If you change the ESC you will also have to get a new radio setup and servo. The stock ESC is also the receiver and it uses a 5 wire servo. The new servo that I picked up wasn’t an exact fit so I had to sand the mounts in the car just a bit. So right now as best I can remember, I’m running the DumboRC radio and receiver a 17t 540 motor a 3 wire servo and a hobbywing 1060 ESC.

I’m guessing you have a pretty high KV motor and you’re using the stock gears. You need to get a program card and change some of the settings. What brand and KV is the motor.

Aw man I did the same thing last month on the right front corner, shattered the spindle, bent my driveshaft/dogbone, and lost a flanged bushing and some other hardware clipping the corner of a wall doing high-speed cornering suspension adjustments. I had been drifting/sliding around the corner at the apex, but after a few minor adjustments I got way more grip than I was expecting and tagged the wall. I'm just now getting some of the parts in after a month of waiting. I would recommend wl-toys.com for parts, the stuff I ordered from them came first, I'm still waiting on the metal upgrade spindles and new dogbones I ordered from Amazon. Stupid virus has everything screwed up right now.

Greyson Skeen I agree about the virus screwing everything up. Even KZitem. I’m only getting a handful of notifications on comments. I’m 2 days late seeing yours and I’m having to scroll every video to find them. It’s very frustrating. I just finished putting my car back together so I’ll try and do a speed test tomorrow. I put the new tires on it so I’ll see if I can top 45mph. Thanks for the comment and the input. I put my dogbones on my lathe and straightened them out. But I know they won’t handle that very many times. I think I’ll just order new ones now. Have a great day and be careful out there. 💯👍🏻👍🏻

@@RCModSquad I'm sorry to hear that you're having difficulties with youtube. As far as the spindle situation goes on my end I found a guy on ebay selling the full front and rear corners, both plastics and full hardware-screws, ball sockets, bushings, and bearings, in the US for less than 20 bucks. I jumped on that as fast as I could. Should be here Thursday, I'm really excited. Now I'll be up and running while I wait, plus I'll have spares once I finally get my metal parts in case they turn out to be crap. Really excited to see your speed tests. I also have a Losi Mini-8ight which is very similar to the 144001, possibly with some cross-compatibility with parts. I just ordered a new esc, my mini8 doesn't have reverse for some reason, and it isn't the motor. I might swap the current esc into my 144001 at some point with the rest of the parts needed to go brushless. The 144001 is a ton of fun and a great deal for what you get. The 550 motor gives users a huge selection of motor upgrades if brushless is desired, I just need to find a steel spur that's compatible and sold in the US. Imo the 144001 is far superior to the a959-b for modification, even though parts availability is better for the a5x9(b) platform. It's more stable, especially at speed, and has greater flexibility for hobby-grade electronics due to having more available real estate. I'm not going to order from China anymore unless I have no other choice. I wish I had found that ebay guy a month ago. Best wishes, I'm looking forward to your future content! :)

You will need a new receiver, ESC and servo. The stock unit uses a receiver with a built in ESC and uses a 5 wire servo. You can stay with everything else stock. If you stay with the stock motor be sure and get an ESC for a brushed motor. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day and be safe out there.

Sadly you can only replace the stock ESC with another stock ESC unless you change the rest of the electronics. You can stay with the brushed motor but if you don’t go stock you will need to change the ESC, radio and servo.

Im a noobie to this new hobby, can you still use the stock 144001 2 in 1 esc with a seperate gyro receiver? Still want to use stock components before upgrading if not possible, then off to a new esc it is.

John Abreu the bad news is you can’t run the the gyro receiver with the stock ESC. The good news is you’ll love the gyro once you get it. 😃 If you don’t plan to have more cars, the JumboRC is a great. If you plan to have more cars over time the Radiolink is a good option since you can just add receivers for each car. I think it has a memory for up to 10 cars.

Just need to look in to a esc for the stock brushed motor until i go for a brushless upgrade. I will keep looking in to the option you went through but would like to push the stock motor safely i also got a heat sink fan to maintain the temp down but need that new esc now to work all that as im understanding .

Alvaro Carrillo what I found was, the screws were a non-standard size. I ruined the screws and drilled the head off then removed the threaded part with pliers. I then replaced them with m3x8 Allen head screws. I plan to take the motor out of my other car soon and I’ll record it. I’m going to try heating the screw before I destroy it. I don’t have any screwdriver that fits them properly. These were the only screws on my car the screwdrivers wouldn’t fit. They used loctite on them. If the heat works I’ll replace them with proper screws and if it doesn’t I’ll drill them out. Either way I’ll show my process in the video.

froregon1 I changed one of mine to the DumboRc transmitter but you have to change the receiver and since it has a combo ESC/receiver you have to change everything. You would need a 1060 ESC the receiver that goes with your radio and a new 3 wire servo. In the end it would be nice because you would just need the one transmitter for both cars.
