Welcome to our channel. We are a dad and a son that loves RC cars. We like bashing, jumping, racing, micro RC, and Lego RC. So here you will find all kinds of fun stuff about RC because that what RC is all about - having fun :-)
We drive all kinds of RC cars:
Off road Trucks
On road Cars
Racing 1:10 Touring Cars at National Championship level
Bashing with friends
Micro RC cars
Building LEGO RC cars
And much more :-)
I also make some reviews and I want to be honest and confident in all my reviews. So far all the stuff I have review is something I have bought with my own money - so you are sure that I am not paid to give a good review! All is our own objective opinion. We won't review a car before we have used it for a long time.
If I get free stuff to review (haven't got any so far) I will tell so in the videos and stay as objective as I can to keep this channel trustworthy.
Do you like us to review stuff, then send us an email.
Happy RC-ing.

So do these stock servos perform well..or maybe a better upgrade servo makes sense.
The stock servo are actually good, you might be able to find a better one but the radio are the weakest link and should be upgrades before servo. I use the stock servo in all my micro WLToys
I have had that flysky radio for 14 years and its great...range on mine is very far..ran boats,cars very far away...i also converted mine to use lipo 3s packs...Great demo i actually never compared radios and did not realize this dead zone issue..i always blamed the linkage and servos..thanks for sharing😊
I’m glad to help 😊, thanks for the kind words 👍. Strange that your radio has a good range, the range is the only drawback for me on this radio. I also use the radio on 1:10 off roads cars and here I often run out of range, here the range is like 30-50 meters. I have another radio labeled “HRC” which should be the same (and looks identical) but that one has 300m range - strange
The FG Marder is Awesome 😎 keep the videos coming 🏎️ 💨
Thanks buddy, it sure is. Love the sound of the Marder 👍
Pretty amazing lap times...are you using stock radio? Also did you loosen diffs and grease them? Did that also improve track times? Thanks for sharing i have the green truck version on the way..😊
Hi, I am using stock radio in this video, only modification is making the car turn sharper and loosen up diffs but not grease as described here: Upgrade drive train WLToys K989, K969 or 284131 | fix stiff, sticky differentials kzread.info/dash/bejne/qKtkwdOAnLO1hNY.html
I this video I replace the radio, for K989 it’s a huge improvement: WLToys K989/K969/284131 radio upgrade FlySky FS-GT3B with EXP, Exponential. Improve steering. kzread.info/dash/bejne/kYB1x5mqk6ipm7w.html
Sounds Great! I will check out once i get car..thax😊
@roadstar499 no problem 😊
***********=** fin video❤
Tak, men hvad sker der for de stjerner 😂
mega fedt. :D ligger der andre kluber som denne her rundt omkring i danmark? :)
Ja det gør der, og der er flere der er ved at blive etableret. Der sker rigtig meget med RC biler for tiden. Hvor bor du?
Awesome, been thinking about doing something like this, did not think of using rope though, genius!
It was just a quick idea that turned out working perfectly 👍
Interesting about the front locked diff in the k989. I'm going to give it a go on my basement track! Thanks for uploading!
It works great with locked front diff, all the 1:10 scale cars has that, made this video about it: WLToys K989, 284131 will it be faster with a locked front differential? kzread.info/dash/bejne/e5V_m9SCntC6j9Y.html

@@LyhneRC Thank you again! These 1/24-1/28 cars are so much fun. I’d like to see them become more popular in my area, even batting around the idea of building a multi track facility w/ hobby shop here in Hunt Valley MD. Years ago we had a carpet track and hobby shop, but sadly nothing in a long time😞
@SC4DR1 There is nothing where we live either. So we simply made it ourselves , first we founded a club, then got an area that was just a weed field and now one year later we have this: Aarhus RC Bashers Åbnings Event - 2. Juni 2024 kzread.info/dash/bejne/oZ6jpZizpbvVZM4.html
@@LyhneRC That's awesome! I've made a few tracks over the years with friends in old dirt bike riding spots, but I'm in the position to do it legit now. The thing that scares me, is it's a disposable hobby.
Oh! That's a really awesome event. It's definitely more fun with a group than alone!🤩🤩
Yes it is, we have lots of fun and many interesting cars 👍
The Porsche is very good i have it is so good and fun
It’s a great little car 👍
I would rather like to know how it can be made much slower and better controllable to run indoors. Not interested in speed in RC cars.
Hi, in that case I would recommend upgrading the radio - it make a huge difference for K989. The radio for K989 is pretty bad (it's better for 284131 and 284010). I am using this radio on my K989 and it has several benefits: It has no dead spots, you can reduce speed and it has EXP, see more about that in this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/kYB1x5mqk6ipm7w.html
The q4 yellow car is the Esteban Ocon of this track wreaking havoc on all others with complete disregard of the cars in front of him, just driving right through them….
We know this guy, and didn’t do it on purpose he just had a bad day and was sorry about that. He’s actually a nice guy 😊
@@LyhneRC You are very naive or blind. In 1st main, he drives through the blue car and doesn’t wait. In the 2nd main, he drives through the red car twice and both times he doesn’t wait.
@@joneskimracing2932I didn’t argue against what he did, he did make some bad moves and hit my son. I just told that he didn’t do it because he wanted to ram other cars. He is not a very experienced driver and made some bad moves that resulted in collisions. If I remember correctly then this was one of the first races he participated in - if it was an experienced driver it would be another case. But for a rookie, this can happen. The judge/marchall should have given him a penalty, but failed to do so - I find that a bigger problem
Det er mig der kørte den store hvide bil idag. Tak for en hyggelig dag
Selv tak, det var en rigtig gode dag 👍
Cool 🔥 👍🏽 💯 💪🏽
Thanks 😊
Sygt fedt event👍
Ja det var en fed dag 👍
Mega hyggelig dag❤
Det var super hyggeligt 😀
Nice video great comparison i got plans on building a track like the first 1 you showed so im going to get my son and i a pair of the wltoys but in the future i want to build the 2nd track then we will get a pair of mini z
Sounds like a good plan. The wltoys 284010 is the best one to get 👍 unless you want to drift
this is great ;)
Thanks, have you seen I have made a more detailed video on how to make the carpet?
Very cool! Would be great if you could share how you fixed the camera to the chassis! I also like the body shell. Do you have a link for it?
Hi, I will add image of the mounting in an upcoming video, so hang on for that 😊. I use two cameras: A forward looking GoPro on a standard GoPro mount which I have attached to the battery with tape. And a 360 camera mounted on a homemade bracket attached to the rear bulkhead. Which of the body shells do you want a link to, then I will try to see if I can find that?
Super fedt! - lækkert at se at AARCB har fået så meget op og stå
Tak, og der er meget mere. Der er to baner mere som blev klar kort efter denne video. Hæng på, de kommer snart.
How dare you ruin that Ferrari, it is easily worth $200🤕
I am really sorry about that 😢, and it's my sons Ferrari. We raced the Mini-Z vs a 1:10 touring car on a 1:10 track - video about that soon...
@@LyhneRC it fine, that’s part of the hobby. Slightly painful to see though 😂
@@braelighty6212 haha, yeah but a Ferrari…
It's been a long time, hasn't it? I thought you were no longer running your channel! Nice to see you again, buddy!
Thanks, have been busy starting up a new RC club - takes a lot of time 😊
ı have a k989 and its amazing
For the price it doesn’t get much better. The newer 284010 is slightly improved though

Hello. I just bought 284131. The drivetrain feels so sticky when playing. It stops when i release throttle. I have watched your fix video. I checked my rear diff. It's not too tight actually. It can move. The pinion and spur gears can also move quite freely when i spin them with hand. Im not sure what caused it so sticky when playing. Anyway, you mentioned somewhere not to over tighten the screws of diff. Which screws you mean? i found 3 tiny screws, and 1 tiny screw in center (which i failed to unscrew).
Hi, there is a lot of internal resistance in the motor so this car will always stop abruptly when releasing the throttle. If you are in doubt try disengaging the motor, then the car should run freely with almost no resistance. Regarding the screws in the diff, then I noticed that if I tightened too much then a freely moving diff would become tight again. Guess the plastic is so thin that you can bend it, so just keep an eye on that 👍
The cheapo aluminum difs from ebay are a great upgrade to fix the issues you are describing. With a little time spent, the WL cars can become quite enjoyable to drive.
Very very good.
Thanks 😊
Excellent.
Makes them drive a lot more freely 👍
Subbed! I have been considering getting one of these. This was just what I needed to see.
Thanks, glad to help 👍
I own both types as well. I think there is some gear mesh issues in the Wltoys. The rolling resistance is terrible. The tires are not very good for actual racing either due to the hard compound. Its easy to work on and the price is good. Depending on where and when you get one..3 can be obtained for the price of a mini Z. The mini Z is really good out of the box. The 4 AAA batteries give it a mechanical traction advantage once its moving. The rear differential is excellent and its overall top speed is much better as well.
Thanks for all the info, I can support that 👍. Regarding the rolling resistance the 284010 is better than K989 and 284131. Have you tried this trick: Upgrade drive train WLToys K989, K969 or 284131 | fix stiff, sticky differentials kzread.info/dash/bejne/qKtkwdOAnLO1hNY.html
Regarding more traction you can get so much that the car starts to traction roll on carpet by using tire sauce. See more here: WLToys K989, 284131, Mini-Q will tire additive make them faster? kzread.info/dash/bejne/hGiIqbWuZ7HTcrQ.html
@LyhneRC excellent. I have not. I've been out of the hobby for a few months it seems. Adding insulation and extra storage in my garage and currently working on protecting my workshop against my dogs and also adding a layer of insulation. Greetings from Texas. That's some good information you have.
i dont know a lot about these cars but i do know the kyosho mini z is stupid expensive for what it is, also id much prefer the 4 wheel independent suspension and the lipos battery of the wl toys car, also you could probably get the wil toys handling a lot better with better tyres, yes the mini z looks a lot better with the scale bodys but if i had to get chose id get a wl toys with some mini z tyres and body
For racing I agree, but the AWD mini Z is worth every penny for drifting. I’ve owned a k969 and the experience of driving the mini z vs the k969 is incomparable
I agree. The mini-z is a better car for sure, but the price is ridiculous for what you get. You can get a 1:10 car for that price. I own a Mini-Q which is a Mini-Z clone, but that is no way as good. I have bought two Mini-Z used, then the price is not that bad.
@@LyhneRC yeah honestly even the AWD is overpriced in my opinion but honestly there’s just nothing better you can get at this scale. I think $150 RTR with gyro and lights would be a fair price
@genboxofficial7417 Correct, they are THE best 1:24 and they know it, that’s why they are some expensive. Could be great if some other company made one as good but more affordable. Then they would probably lower the price
Fed video godt sammenligning ❤
Tak 😊
Very nice comparison. I have the WLToys truck. Really like it a lot!
Thanks, yes there are awesome little cars, a lot of car for the money 👍
First
Haha 🏆🏆
Great comparison video! Is there a way to make the 284010 fiesta rally body fit onto the 284161 chassis? I think it would be great and just maybe need to cut the wheel wells on the body a bit bigger to clear the bigger wheels, but make a more capable rally car;)
As far as I can see the only things you need is front and rear bodyposts part number K989-50 and K989-51, the 284010 body shell and some small screws. You could consider also using the cheaper K989/K969 body shell which has same measurements or the 284131 body. You got me inspired, maybe I will also make this conversion - it would look great 👍
Nice 🔥 👍🏽 💯 💪🏽
Thanks, it was a great day on the tracks 👍
Fed video virkelig en fed dag derude. Håber det bliver lige så fedt næste gang👍😊
Ja det var en rigtig god dag og fantastisk vejr 🏎🏎🏎
yeah baby
Thanks 👍
my spring broke at the gas / brake lever -.-" ... how can something like this even break, god damn china trash .......
Great race, congratulations to the winners
Thanks, they were also happy 🥇🏆😊
Anyone knows if the 5525 can also fit in the arrma 4s line ? I’m having a lot of slop
I looked at the exploded views of both a 3S and 4S Arrma and all the ball ends seems to have different numbers. But the screw going through the eye of the pivot ball is 3mm for both 3S and 4S, so my guess it that you should be able to use TRX5525 also for Arrma 4S, but you might need more or less shims.
i wanna make my steering knob more stiffer, how can i do that ?
Hi, is it the turning motion your want to be stiffer or the surface of the wheel?
Har den hvide bil ingen vinge på?😅
Nej, den kan ikke være der for kameraet. Men der er vægt nok på bagenden alligevel med det tunge kamera 😁
Husk lige credit for onboard ;)
Det havde jeg faktisk tænkt at jeg ville putte i videoen, men glemte det 😱. Jeg skriver det i beskrivelsen og laver et card til din side hvis jeg kan 😀
@@LyhneRC Mange tak :) fin video!
@@skumcat Så er der kommet et kort med link på. Hvis vi laver det igen, så kommer der et stort ikon. Det havde jeg helt glemt.

Tak 👍
Hello, to maintain the track, do you do it with a lawn mower or with a edger ? How do you keep it short?' thanks. earring
Hi, it was originally cut with a lawn-tractor and then with "walk behind" lawn mower on lowest possible setting. When the grass is so short and you start driving on it with 1:10+ scale cars the grass will quickly we worn and partly disappear. The biggest problem is that when the grass starts to disappear, then there tends to be small patches with "tough grass" as small bumpy islands - that hadn't happen yet when the video was recorded.
@@LyhneRC Ok. Thanks friend
@eduardomalcom2228 you are welcome 😃
Great video. Thanks. Do you know a Vetter servo which withstands more bumps? Our broke inside. The gears lost some teeth's because the kids drove into a wall with the front tire. Are there servos with metal gears?
Hi, so far I haven't broken a servo yet, but I have heard good talk about this metal gear servo: www.banggood.com/custlink/KmKPuF02av. So that one I will buy when I break a servo. To further protect the servo you could also use a servo saver like this one: www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006750134547.html
👋🏽✌🏽
👌👍
If you order 284161, be prepared to have to upgrade/change the steering servo. I bought two of them and servos seized and became. non-functional after using it for about an hour. The replacent servo has metal internal gears and seems to have lasted more than an hour.
Ok, good advice. So far I have used mine about 10 hours and the stock servo still runs fine. I haven't had any servo issues on any of my WLToys 1/28. Maybe you just had an unlucky batch - but still pretty annoying
I know right? Bad luck from two different vendors! Ive seen people running them pretty hard on KZread. At least people can know replacement servos can work if needed.
Can anyone tell me if there are oil-filled shocks that will fit the 284161 model.
Hi, I haven’t searched for that, so I’m not sure - sorry
