3 Recommended Things to Do on the WLTOYS 144001

Hi guys and welcome back to the channel!
Buy your WLTOYS 144001 here: www.banggood.com/Wltoys-14400...
If you want to see the original blog post that gave me the inspiration to make this video check it out here:
www.quadifyrc.com/rccarreviews
I want to thank QUADIFYRC for giving me the inspiration to make this video and hope this will help some of you!
So today we take a look at some more things you can do to your WLTOYS 144001 to make it even better to run and to prolong the life of its components.
Why you may ask?
Well these 3 things will improve the actual feel of the buggy and help to preserve parts and prevent wear.
You would expect these great buggies come completely ready to run and maintenance free but if i am really honest they are a little incomplete and require a few more little maintenance tasks to get the most out of them!
If you didn't see the first video covering the 3 essential things check it out here:
• 3 Essential Things to ...
Today we take a look at:
1. Rear toe in (Some toe in is a good thing as it will help with cornering stability)
2. Rear shock oil weight (Stock is too light 30wt i believe)
3. Suspension Droop (Easily fixed with 4 M3 Screws / Grub Screws)
Just like after the first video these little changes / Mods made this buggy feel a lot better!
I hope this video helps/aids any of you who are looking at buying a WLTOYS 144001 or already have one but are having issues or just want the very best from your buggy.
As always guys if you have any questions just leave a comment below and i will get back to you as soon as possible.
Thanks guys and see you on the next video!

    I use all the mods you have shown on the 144001 for some time now, lowering the chassis with the droop screws is essential when doing speed runs. I set the arms horizontal with no droop, also going further with the fronts so as to lower the front of the chassis more than the rear of the chassis. Also look at taking out the toe out on the fronts & set more parallel for speed runs.

    Thanks for the video. I noticed the suspension doesn't rebound anymore in your video. The car dampens but just stays low. Also a thought but when you filled your shocks with oil, shouldn't you try to get any trapped air out before you tighten the cap on? I'm a newb so your thoughts on this appreciated.

    He should. Quadify rc shows how to do it. Take of the springs first, with the cap not fully done up you can bleed off the excess, then check there's no preload or that the shocks stay fully compressed. I never had any issues out of the box, doesn't mean it's not correct. All shocks feel fine, if I take of all the springs, only one will fully compress without extra force.

    @@Aarons14bugs At least half the shaft should come out on it's own without the spring. The real key is to get the same amount of rebound on each shock. A perfect build would allow you to depress the shaft all the way with the last quarter inch being hard to push in. At the same time the shaft should full extend on it's own without the spring very slowly. It takes time to get shock building down perfectly. Work at getting half rebound first and practice until you get more perfect builds.

    This is a common problem on these and i think on the new 124019's they have used some sort of thermal pad/paste which helps transfer heat to the aluminum chassis to help dissipate heat. But on the 144001 has always been a known issue. I cant say i have a fix as not long after getting mine i converted to brushless and never looked back. Have covered the conversion on my channel so be sure to check that out.

  • @The_RC_Dude
    @The_RC_Dude3 жыл бұрын

    Isn't 800cSt shock oil a bit too thick though? 800cSt = 60wt, I know that QuadIfyRc used 60wt, but I'm asking on Reddit and most people agree that 60wt is too heavy, one person said the max I should go is 50wt. The stock oil is around 30-40wt, I'm probably going for 45wt. Doesn't 60wt make the car squat down lower, and make the rebound (how fast the shock springs back) slower?

  • @beyondRC

    @beyondRC

    3 жыл бұрын

    60wt helps to account for the extra weight at the back as the big heavy brushed motor makes the car rear heavy and sometimes bottom out on jumps. People have many different opinions on what's right just do what's right for you man. 60wt worked just fine for me and my needs 👍👍
