Plus a new way to minimise wheel wobble without shims,but I do mention a new method using ProTek clutch bell shims. And last but not least new shocks that aren't lc racing. They are really funky coloured and come with different spring rates.

Youre welcome,suuport my channel friends🙏🙏🥰🥰
Thank you a lot for that 3x6x2,5 bearing mod. Found the exact bearings at my local hobby-shop here in Finland.
Needless to say, it works wonders.
Really appreciate this comment, so glad Finland has those bearing sizes and you didn't have to import 👍
I'm glad the mod worked how I intended happy bashing or racing lol
Have not received my 124019 yet however building up these videos you have made so I can wrench on it when I get it. Thank you
Thanks dude really appreciate the comment. These cars can take time to arrive dont ask me why but I feel your pain.
And your redcat sure did lose its wheels haha dam!
@@mehimrc1314 yes, that was epic!!!!
Thanks for the vid!! Thanks for having fun and including us! Yes, I do enjoy your channel(you asked, lol). Been playing with my 124019(was lucky enough to order one the day they announced it) so all the info I can get is awesome, and extremely helpful. Thanks again 👍
Your support is much appreciated as is all. Thanks for this awsome uplifting comment. I hope the video help and I'm not a complete bore lol. Thanks again and stay safe
Great tips! Been searching for the type of bearing and shocks to buy and I found your video! Thank you and subscribed!
Well thanks dude,I honestly wasnt seeing much on these cars for,replacements parts ect. I'm glad its helped,just keep your old bearings and have a play around to find what suits you best. Have a great day!
This is the best video on WLtoys 1/12-1/14 improvements on YT. I watch it periodically, as if it's a user manual.
Appreciate your comment, glad it can be use like a manual haha.
One of the best comments I've had thanks again and keep safe.
Just starting to set mine up the way i i want it,still a novice, really enjoy following your tips and tricks!
Thank you for putting your time in to making these videos....
👍☘👊
Awsome dude we're all novices really haha, most of the tip or tricks are simple to figure out and apply to any RC car. Thanks for your epic comment much appreciated 🙂
Very intresting solution, thanks a lot for sharing it. I'll certainly try it. Very well put!
Thanks my friend hope it all helps
Thank you for the springs ! Found it on aliexpress for 3.10 € the pack of 10 including delivery, they looks very nice but have to buy 2 packs to get 4 units of same color. This video made me subscribe and smashed the bell.
Hello. Can You send link to springs
The link should be pinned in the comments my friend.
@@marcingawel3205 you will find it searching "xtra speed rc"
@@bretzeletouffeur7401 From what I understand, the ones on Aliexpress are not 31mm but 24mm long? Are they the same as the Ebay link?
Let me know if they did fit properly on your car :-)! Thanks
Ah so it does work.been in talks with a group member about this and been waiting for them to be delivered well done buddy good mod
Took some research mate inner diameter of wltoys shocks were hard to match. I'm not on any forums or groups that's how I keep my channel fresh,I dont like the idea of using others information to get my channel ahead. Glad your crawler came dude looks cool
@@mehimrc1314 was talking about the no shims bro.good mod on the drag link 👌
@@mehimrc1314 love that little crawler its mint amd for the money its great value.the thumb is looking better dude
@@bigbeardrc4145 yeah dude I was only saying I dont use forums or groups. Everything I try is knowledge or trial and error,at cost to my self. The drag link m3 screw is a must,dont know why I haven't seen it done. People adding grease to the drag like WTF lol. The no shims was in the making but cut my thumb off so kinda stopped Me. Can't wait to see your crawler take on some tracks
@@mehimrc1314 there's some crazy mods people have done that turned out like train wrecks.groups are a curse and a blessing sometimes.jave a good weekend dude take care
Going to need a bigger workbench soon leg end! I see them subs climbing, nice work lad✌🏼
And then comes a plug, top man dude going to have to get you on the payroll soon!😂👍🏼
I've got a man cave but its freezing so in house for winter. The subs I couldn't of imagined tbh and as for the plug,what can I say it comes with leg end status..
Nice vehicle, nice video
Awesome
Let's get along with friends with the same hobbies.
잘 지내봐요.
😁😁😁😁
Hallo,
Unfortunately, I am still waiting for my 124019 to arrive.
Will hopefully arrive in the next days… 😊
Therefore,
I somehow only talk in some sort of "theoretical" 😉🧐 about this particular model… just in common sense out of my over 30 years of RC racing and working experience…
I am following this new version of the legendary, shorter wheelbase model, because I quite sure, that It is a extremely high "value for the money" budget rc-buggy with quite a lot of features sharing with high competition racing-models.
When I saw your headline about new shocks, I have wondered a little, but then I saw that you are just talking about different springs…
Absolutely logical 👍👍👍
In this topic I wonder why so fare hardly anybody has done something with different springs for set-up tuning…
Keep on having a good RC FUN time…!!! 🍀
Thorsten 🌞
I'm totally with you one this one,couldn't of read that any better. Thanks for your awsome input. These cars can be something great. If not for the plastic letting it down but all plastic breaks.
I'll keep posting if people are like you are interested in improving this awsome budget racer/basher/speed runner. It can be many things for its price range.
Hey, i found my 124019 was 100% RTR, spent some time checking shocks, diffs, even wheels... was perfectly setup. Hope you get the same. Only received a single 144001 which needed some work on shocks and loosening some tyre nuts, the rest were ready to go.
@@erichoceans they are 100 RTR, just some people like to look after them I know a thing or two to keep the car going strong. Lucky you, your seem to of obtained the best made 144/124
Thanks for the video
No probelm dude.
best all round rc buggy for its price... you can use high quality upgrades if you want... but if you drive well and not crazy it holds up very well...
Definitely right there buddy
I think replacing the hex nuts with aluminum ones allows you to tighten the wheels up all the way.
Yes you can get thinner 12mm hexes I didnt have Any spare. There plenty of other things I'm yet to show. Thanks for the comment.
You can get the aluminium ones for the 144001 on e-bay just type em in and put uk supplier there about £3-4 and thinner 👍
@@Andym1159 thanks, I got em somewhere, lol. The 124019 came with them. I put 2-4000kv motors in my 124019, short preview on my channel if your interested
Thanks for sharing this.
Gives us all more options thanks for watching hope it helps.
Just got mine yesterday 👍
As in the 144001 or the 124019 glad you've got one dude they're great fun.
Great , Thanks
Wow great tips man, sweet 👌thanks
Thanks for your comment and support. I Would love to interact more with people and find out what they'd like to know more on.
@@mehimrc1314 for me the tips on shocks, getting rid of the wheel wobble are exactly what I needed to know and how to on fitting a different body, thank you for the reply 👌👍
@@sustorres765 ok thanks for the awesome feedback, I had something in mind about shocks ect. Wasn't sure whether to do a video, but I think it's worthwhile hearing your thoughts. Thanks the comments and support.
I have had my 144001s for months, never had a problem with wheel nuts. Steering could be improved though.
Plenty people have probelms with the nuts just locktit them on if they do come off. And there steering definitely needs improved not could be lol.
Me too ,no problem and hits 35mph stock
Nice friend,god job👍👍👍🥰🥰
Thanks dude much appreciated hope any of this helps
Why only the inside on the rear and not only the outside?
To keep the dogbones seated better in the diff and drive cups. Do it however you wish though in or out. I like the way this work have fun with it dude
nice fix man
Thanks dude
Why did you adjust the suspension to no droop at all? That's going to ruin your cornering on uneven terrain.
On the 124019 that I flashed into view? There's still movement in the suspension for cornering. Not that a speed runner will see many corners haha. The other car/144 has all the droop still there it's now changed its appearance more sct now. Thanks for your comment dude.
That’s cool dear. Your video so interesting. SUBBED👍. Good Lucks
Thanks dude much appreciated
i have seen a lot of your vids dude you love a shim. would like to see more actual running footage of the cars. i appreciate the fixes and adjustments but its an RC channel dude they are made to be run in the outdoors not in the house loll or on a shelfe. Good luck wit the chanel i expect to see much more. Should have caled it Me Shim RC 👍
Sorry your comments have been getting held by CZcams, there are a couple of outdoor videos but not as many as youd like. Fair point when the weather isn't so British I'd like to get out my self with the bairn. Fun over fixes I get it, don't like the name change too many people shimming now bit tacky lol.
Well done 👍👍👍
I really like the way you show how to enlarge the holes on the steering bracket when you have to do it "free handed"… excellent 👌…other ways you could not achieve such a good result like you do…
What I did not quite understand… sorry 🙏
What other bearings are you using to minimize the wooble of the wheels…?
Different dimension…?
Wider…?
Or the same size, but just higher quality ones…?
Keep on having a good RC FUN time…!!! 🍀
Thorsten 🌞
Thanks for the awsome comment it's much appreciated my friend.
The bearings are simply wider 2.5mm wide. Dimensions are as follows 4×7×2.5
I use two on the front hubs and only one on the inside of the rear hub.
Hope this helps.
@@mehimrc1314 You are welcome…🌞
@@mehimrc1314 So the original ones are only 2mm wide…😉🧐
@@BUDGET_RC_RACER 1.8mm wide to be exact lol. That's probably why there is so much play. Look in the booklet the bearings are wrong. 4×8×3? They're for the lc racing hubs.
@@mehimrc1314 1,8mm… 🤔 quite unusual…would be very special size bearing…
I assume that they are supposed to be 2,0mm, but they are just so low quality with incredible tolerances.
This is a common "problem" with many RC models… OK, they are fully equipped with ball bearings, because this is just a MUST feature as selling point, but like with everything in technic and life there is an extreme wide range of quality-levels when it comes to bearings; for all kind of "real" engineering there many norms/standards for bearings…but in the RC industry this is an open field… 😉🧐
@Me Him Rc what did you use to cut out the body, and also do you use a rc reamer or just drill bits to make your body mount holes, also nice tips and keep up the good work, i will for sure be doing this ! more videos on your Wltoys 144001 please.
I used those curves scissors, "tamiya curved scissors" £7-8 you'll find them easy.
And you nailed it cheap body reamer again from eBay about £7 ish.
Few tips make this car alot better, I'll keep something coming at least 👍🤙
You can also use a washer
Isn't a washer just a thick shim, or isn't a shim just a thin washer? Either works bro 👍
@@mehimrc1314 very true, Sir
Hi buddy can you send a link to some suitable wheels and tyres for the phat body's escort for general hooning .
Cheers
I use contact foams mainly any tyre that's 65mm diameter or under will work. Sorry I don't have a link to hand for rubber tyres
Thanks for great insight,,,,I have two rig….124017 and 124016….ran them hard and kept losing the nuts doesn’t seems to hold up well after a few bashing…..any tips to make the wheel /nut hold better without much binding ?
Use a tiny dab of loctite on the threads before adding the nut, them tighten the nut making sure the wheels are free moving. Let set and bang sorted I've never had a nut come off since loctite. Even nylock nuts will come off eventually.
Do you have a link to the bearings please? I found some 2.5mm on E-Bay but aren’t sure which ones to buy? Thankyou for another great tip 👍
Link to the bearing is in the description my friend. I remembered to add a few haha good luck man.
@@mehimrc1314 thankyou as always mate 👍
Can the same parts on the RC's fit on each other
Yes they can bro.
looks really cool 😎🤌🏼 Really a cool body and the tires are cool too. Do you have a link to the shock absorber springs? thanks
Didnt want this in the description as its would of took up too much space Hope it helps dude. www.ebay.co.uk/i/131550994740?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&itemid=131550994740&targetid=878028523120&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=1006948&poi=&campaignid=9446017195&mkgroupid=95890180956&rlsatarget=pla-878028523120&abcId=578896&merchantid=137623040&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIn_DnoL3L7QIVJu_tCh0K_AC_EAQYCiABEgKo5fD_BwE
Hi, when you add metal hexes after bearing change is there still no play? i ask because i just changed to metal hexes and i have way more play than with the stock plastic... i put a tiny o ring between the bearing and the pin and pretty much all the play is gone now.... thanks...PS have you ever showed a video on how to set up 144001 to perform as well as lc racing buggy??? or almost as good? thanks again..
Wow so you've got the wider bearing at 2.5mm thick? If your bearings are stock and you've changed hexes then hell yeah you'll get more wobble. The oring will burn up pretty quick, once I changed bearings it was a dramatic difference.
The set up question, as I don't own LC racing emb 1. I can't do a comparison due to my own beliefs on content clarity. What ever I say would be speculation on the car. So unfortunately not, I could do a video on setting up the car. But what would you like to know to set up?
Hey man I have the same problem with my 124019 and I was just wondering what tool you used and please respond because I tried everything and nothing is working and i even tried the plastic tool that it came with but it became a circle. So please if you could just tell me what tool you used or someone who knows please respond. Thank you
Are you meaning the wheel wrench? I really can't make out what it is your issue is bro.
Any tricks for getting to the differentials? The screws on top and on the bottom plate seem to be locktite? They wont bulge! Any help🥺thank you
To get to the differentials the only loctited screws are the top deck steering and mount screws they should come out very easy. Bottoms plate I don't know what your wanting to take off. Everything to get to the diffs is on top of the car. Any thing else
@@mehimrc1314 thank you!
@@mehimrc1314 thank you, last thing. Do you know if the ESC on the wltoys 144001 will stop when the battery gets to 3.2V so it doesnt drain the batter
It will stop but it's not due to lipo cut-off unfortunately, if and when the car stops. Go and pick it up, the biggest fault/gripe is people still try and drive the car back to them. Even with low voltage cut off you should always go and pick the car up.
Like you don't attempt to drive 30 mile on a reserve tank that only gives 15 mile at best. Does that make sense dude.
Mine wobbles in and out, like yours does, but also up and down. Ideas?
Wobbles up and down is apart of the slopp unfortunately. The mods I've done really help sort all of that out.
Hi where did you get the M3 screws from?
There are thousands available on eBay.
Legend ..I'm definitely doing the hub bearing ASAP haha legend..check the start of my wl toys madness 😄
Your more than welcome dude these cars are so much fun and with a few mods they are even better. Enjoy mate and Ive added a sub
What size bearings to order?
Check description
What size bearings do you use
All in the video I've made can't remember of the top off my head.
So you have 2 bearings on the outer hub? One regular and one wider? I bought the wider ones a while back but it didn’t fix the wobble with just one on the outside
Hey man I can see why you hadn't got rid of your wobble. I though I made it clear in the video that it's only the rear hubs I use both sizes. No wonder you haven't got rid of that wheel wobble. Its longer to type than watch that video again mate. It's all there 2 new in the front and 1 new to one stock in the rear. Which way round is up to you.
@@mehimrc1314 just took it back out after working on it for hours. I put the front bumper on and had to cut the shell some. Ended up taking out some more slop from the front end. I was able to get full throttle finally for a short time a few times but quickly ran out of asphalt so I had to brake. It’s fast man. Really fast. This was with the shocks leaked out too. The new ones were supposed to come today but they were put off till tomorrow from Amazon. It still likes to pull left or right, depends on the last input I put with the remote. Once it’s locked in I can open it up though. I’m wondering if using the gyro would help with the minute adjustments to get it straight? Net thing I am gonna tackle is making sure all the rod ends left and right are the same length with calipers. It’s getting better. Not perfect, but better.
@@revfpv7908 if your steering is stickling then disconnect the servo arm. You'll be able to move the steering with your fingers. If it feel heavy or grabby loosen a TINY bit the two screws that go into either steering post. Should help the steering people over tighten those two screws. Oh you've added the bumpers now aswell I see, bet that looks insane flying by lol. Keep it up dude small successes lead to great achievements.
Where are the bearings from?
I've got the 124019 coming and I want to be prepared. I'm pretty new to all of this. Thank you for the videos! So helpful
The bearing for the hubs. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303401279215
Your welcome dude I made the videos because there wasn't anything decent about the car.
Good afternoon. Are there wider bearings to do this fix on the a979? Thanks.
Two sizes of bearing on the a959, are you looking for both sizes to be wider?
@@mehimrc1314 Yes please. Which ever I need to close the gap without shims. Thank you very much.
But what gap we talking about, can you explain and have a better understanding what your meaning.
@@mehimrc1314 Between the wheel hub and the steering...'knuckle'? I have drive shafts extenders on there now, with the pin and rubber band dealies. I put the shrink wrap on the shafts which took some out, but there is about a 1mm gap between the extension and the steering apparatus.
Lol, by Putin. ( ; D)
A little wobble in the front is normal with any rc car
Perfectly normal as it wouldn't move otherwise lol. But I didnt like what I seen so i took what i feel is the best approach. Any rc thats brings a smile wins in my opinion.
@@admin5322 I cant get the link from ebay app,and they dont come up on google search. The seller is (milancentral) type in 4×7×2.5 bearing you'll find them my friend.

Ei man I just installed the 2.5 bearings (inner) MR74ZZ, yes wooble has gone but still I can’t fasten completely the tires, I checked with stock hex and a new metal hexs, any idea?
I have this tires:
€ 4,71 40％ dto. | Neumáticos de coche de Rally teledirigido 1:10, juego de llantas de goma insertada de espuma M4, cubo hexagonal de 12mm, paquete de 4, 2,99 pulgadas/76mm
a.aliexpress.com/_vXOIzj
edit: seems that with stock tires I can fasten better
The wheel plastic may be slightly thicker around the axle hole. That would be my only conclusion. The thicker bearing doesn't alter the amount off thread available for the nut. That would only come down to thicker rims OR wide hex adapters. I've tried explaining this to a few people, hope fully it makes sense. What ever happens behind that pin doesn't effect what you add after it.
Are these the springs?
www.rcmart.com/xtra-speed-spring-set-for-1-10-rc-car-xs-59591-00059995
Can you confirm that the length goes from 31mm to 23mm for the hardest?
My set of springs are 31mm to about 28mm. But your on their website so I'm guessing its the same. Either would work for Me.
Tthe links not mine so I'm not confirming anything,Hope you understand.
