Racing my WLToys 104001 in the NZ Off-road Nationals 2023
Переглядів 1,6 тис.Рік тому
Described as the 'Worst RC race car ever' by the excellent Ryan Harris, I decided to offer the WLToys 104001 a chance at redemption by entering it into the 2023 New Zealand Off-road Nationals, held at the CMR track in Wellington NZ. Equipped with a super-budget sensorless motor, esc and servo package from Banggood, I qualified 3rd in the Mod Buggy C main. Three mains races went badly partly due...

      Nope, can't recall whether I used the WLtoys or LC racing hardware, but it went right in. I would probably use the WLtoys hardware given the holes are 'threaded' for those initially.

    I am about to do the centre diff mod. My track is tight so I want to lower the gearing. I guess I need the 10b5 81T Spur but what options do I have for pinions please? The 105b spur is 48p. I see plenty of 48p pinions on Aliex - do I need hardened? Ones to avoid? There is a 87T spur, can it be made to fit? TIA

    • @WellingtonIronman
      @WellingtonIronman 2 місяці тому

      I wouldn’t necessarily advise this as a race buggy. You would be much better off buying a used known brand car a few years old. It will be a little more expensive initially, but will not require any mods to make it reliable and competitive, and will be a much better base

  • @independentmind1977

    New update, I don't think that clutch works. I made 3 clutches( for 3 cars) and I still see that differentials, shafts and etc wears a lot. We drive in heavy (outdoor) track, but without JUMPS. I maximum loosen spring (don't forget, you don't have a lot space for loosen, because distance between brackets is limited) and then I dissembled clutch after some runs, clutch pads were like new. That's means that clutch do no slips.
