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...

mindblown. great stuff with the laser printed, aceton- and spoon-delivered writings! thx!
Brilliant solution for the shoulder joints, thanks so much!
Contact cement is also really good for glueing together EVA foam armour:)
You’re absolutely right. I’d never tried that when I made this armour and it might have ended up being my preferred method if I had.
Thank you for the effort to do what WL should have done. I've got everything ordered. Cheers.
Good luck with the conversion. Mine is still fitted and going strong after multiple race days.
Yeah Ryan Harris caught a lot of bad vibes for that video and later came back with a somewhat apology video. But of course you know the elite's crap never stinks. Cheers.
Im gonna do it 😂
Do it! Mouse droids are so much fun
Are you the guy making 3D printed bullet proof armour now?
Haha nope not me
Man such an awesome video. I bought and did exactly what you did. THANK YOU! From FLORIDA. Some other dude is drillin n stuff.... no way....lol
Nice work!
The wltoys screws and the lcracing screws are of different sizes, did they give you any problems holding the differential ring gear?
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 could do with the file for the mag guide and the grenade launcher how much
drop me an email on dynofiend@hotmail.com :)
Wow! I just got this replica and I have to say yours really kicks ass. Awesome mods and execution ! I particularly like the magazines, mine is a pain un the ass to remove each time, I hope it gets easier as it wears down a little. Cheers from France.
Merci bien!
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
Thanks for the walkthrough. I’m considering this platform as a racing beginner. Still undecided
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
Would you say this car is a good platform for track beginners on a budget? It seems other options are way over budget and it’s easier to upgrade over time (financially)
Nice upgrades! Where can I get one of the magazine guides? Are they available online somewhere? Thanks!
please contact me 'dynofiend@hotmail.com' :)
awe yeah i'm going to try to figure this out for my 12th scale rlaarlo (d12) because i will have some spare diffs tomorrow, and way too much time on my hands
Do you have a copy of the blueprints for r2d2
this is amazing Work, I wish I can get the pattern, cause I want to make one like this
Cool video bro. But I'd never use an 82 tooth spur.. that would be wayyyy too slow for me lol I've just bought the 104001 and ordered a 30 tooth and a 25 mod 1 😂 Let the madness commence haha But some good ideas 👍
Been looking high and low for anyone who made a grenade launcher for this pulse rifle. Thank you so much for all your hard work. I'm gonna mod mine the same way.
Thanks! I had been looking for a while and all I'd seen were people using tri-shot spring shotguns (which isnt really a grenade effect) or now discontinued moscart grenades, which come with their own drawbacks. I think this option really works best!
What motor - esc do you run in this?
Its a cheap no brand 4500kv unsensored motor and 80a esc.
@@WellingtonIronmanThanks, what class do you run it in, Mod or Stock
It's firmly in Mod with that motor :D
do you still have that space marine suit a few years back?, are you interested in renting it if we live nearby?
I need to figure out if its possible instead of a drive cup, to put another bevel gear, or mount a bevel gear onto the drive cup somehow so i could have a centre diff inside of a 124008.
Master
Great video sir, could you post one up of the mods? That thing performs pretty good, after watching your video I think you have made up my mind about getting one. Thanks!
Yep that shouldn’t be a problem. Check back in a few weeks :)
it's now 2023, did you ever complete your restoration? & are you working on any other film character projects?
Where do I get the pattern?
I'm following your instructions
What steering rod you use?
From an HSP Unlimited, see another comment for the link :)
Hola disculpe ya se que llegue tarde pero donde puedo conseguir los planos de la armadura que me perdi
Can this kit modified for drag 1/10 scale?
I wouldnt.
Are these suits adjustable to a persons size incase they are taller than an average person? Or would you have to find a different set?
Hi, yes, you can scale the armour in pepakura designer. There is also a great deal of leeway in how much armour pieces overlap, and you could also always extend or trim certain parts after construction if they were still a bit wrong
@@WellingtonIronman awesome thanks for responding
i would like to know how the pauldrons and arms are attached to the chest piece
interesting
So is the same as the slipper?
No a slipper cuts power to both front and rear. A diff distributes power to either the front or back, or both
Was this for sale on Trademe?
Did you use the stock shock absorbers or did you upgrade those?
Stock ones on here, but they kept bending, so Im now using TLR ones
Thank you for an informative video, but this is quite clearly NOT a Wltoys 104001. That is a model with the motor at the rear of the chassis, not amidshios. That being said, I think I can adapt this to the 104001.
Not sure what video you were watching. It is a 104001. The motor is the orange thing in the middle of the car.
U usin the carbon kit ??
Just the carbon shock towers
Sweet track
Hi mate you ran the buggy good, may i know is the kit original wltoys 104001 kit? Or you upgraded the absorber and so on? Good job dude
Quite a few upgrades, I have a post on the 104001 owners group on facebook detailing the changes
The children’s reactions are brilliant ❤
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.
Nice one mate, well done! What a cool track too!
Awesome setup eh!
Hey, I know I'm late, sorry, but how can I print things? Is there a configuration that you recommend to be able to do it, I'm going to do it to the size of my body as shown in the video
What body shell is that?
LC10b5
simplest way is to 3d print bushings
Put LC slipper clutch in my EAT14 was thinking on doing the same with the 104001 until I watched this. Great Idea thanks for the info...
Where's the update?
I don't think I ever promised one, but you'll note there is another video on the channel of me racing this car, with the diff, showing it working well. It continues to do so after quite a few race days!
Amazing mods, and jobs mate, i can´t understand why it took me so long to find, watch and enjoy this video.
