great video , very informative. I built a loop de loop for my grandkids approx. 40 in diameter. The normal rc car presently owned by the kids has insufficient speed to complete the loop. Can you recommend a car in the $100 to $150 range. Model 144001 has the speed but you indicate it may not last with the crashes ?
Love my 959-b. Was praying it was here in your video.
Hi, great video, liked and subscribed. I'm after a monster truck that can go well in grass. I currently have the A979 1/18 but am thinking I'll need to go larger to play well in grass. Do you have any recommendations under $100? I won't be bashing it around or upgrading anything massive as yet. As long as it's durable, goes well in grass and is fairly fast like the A979, I'll be happy.
My 14001 arrived today with an extra battery, it's charging now! Great video! Brushless motor on the way
Great to hear!
How long did it take to ship?
Which brushless motor did you get and is there anything else you must buy?
I've order the same rc car and after waiting 2 weeks today I received a chest harness! I'm very confused. At this point I feel I've been scammed. Trying to reach customer service is a nightmare.
I really hope someone will contact me. I bought this car because of this channel recommendation.
@@Yousaid77 what website did u buy on
Can you please tell me if a Traxxas 12t motor will work with the 144001? And what ESC should I use with it if it will? Thank you!!
Thinking of getting the 144001 but heard that it can’t handle 3S... and that they’re hit or miss at whether or not they are capable of running on 3S. Should I be worried about this and if so could you recommend if there a compatible ESC that I should upgrade to or any other parts I should get when I order it. I’m fairly new to the rc world and like this because of the mph/$. Thanks!
I have had the 144001 for about 2mo. I tried changing the wheels and originally I guess I put to much lock tight on them I ended up snapping one of the rear drive shafts and now I can't mount my new tires.. I searched the bangood parts section to get new shafts but got no luck.. Any suggestion on how to get the rear drive shafts.. ?
Thanks for your help you helped me decide on the armma big rock. Instead of the legendary 1:10 truck
Nice video !!!
Did you play No5 wltoys with 3s battery for a lot of time?
I am having 11423 and I may afraid that I will burn the electronics.
Dude it totally punches above it’s weight. Great little speed demons
Hey Richie, glad to see you got your video problems sorted out! Good work on this video!
Jeff I had nudged the dial from video to auto! I think that may have been the problem, although I was concerned that the picture on the camera seems to have been degrading over time, tried a new sim and same thing. I've just had a new 4K one arrive today which I'll try over the weekend.
Could someone point me in the direction of lipo batteries for both the q902 and 144001, plus a charger? I'm new to this so it's a bit confusing. Thanks.
Can a 144001 take a 4s or even a 6s lipo battery and what is the biggest and best battery for it
Only rC cars I've had r the ones from target for 30 dollars and they break after 1 drive and battery lasts only 20 min
Shaymin yeah cause the Walmart target and any big box store ones are really bad
Just need to look online for a good used hobbygrade RC 👍 Can find amazing deals for even 2/400$ which anyone can save up even a young teen 👍
Dude you can go rc racing competitively in any class you want indoor carpet road racing/oval to outdoor offrpad/dirt oval and get a car race ready for 200/400 dollars best way to go
I had a 16€ micro buggy and it runned like 2km/h
I was looking at the deerc 9310 says it goes 39 mph goes 14 so
Awesome detailed
review 👍😎👍
Does anyone have any experience with the carson street rebel can't find much review wise
I'm in Australia and the WLToys 144001 costs AU$202! Which is US$150! Still great for the price though.
Good stuff Richie! Nice video.
Appreciate it!
Hello! I've been thinking of getting a q903 because I like the styling, but you recommend the q902 handles better.
Could you do a side by side with the q902 vs q901/q903? Specifically the tire size you mention. I cant find any information online about the different tire part numbers.
Keep up the good reviews! Thanks!
Dude, go with the 902 man, the dirftomaniacs guy knows what he's talking about. He did a video review on that car a few weeks ago and it showed the Q902 going insanely fast,!! 👍💯
I have been wanting a fast rc car for cheap and now I know the best options thanks
same, thanks
So can you tell me which car do you get or buy ?? Pls I liking to get one
What battery did you use for 3s on wltoys 144001?
nice video mate, glad gps was used
I have an lc racing short course truck which is incredibly fast for a 1/16, but my £300 arrma kraton does 53mph and it’s mindblowing
Hi, I don't know very much about these, so can you please tell me if all the battery links you gave are compatible with the wltoys 144001?
the car comes with one btw
Very helpful, thank you
Your videos are the only information I need thank you very much
Great video
I have a pirahna on 2s with a traxxas titan 12 turn motor and its insane i love it
I was looking into a little speed demon you think I could get away with slapping some speed slicks on the striker 144001 ?
Didn't mean to thumbs down was trying to hit reply button.
Anyways tires aren't what's holding it back. 37mph stock brushless isn't going to get 100mph without 3s and high gearing. Trust me you don't want a 100mph RC car. I had a 70mph 1/10 scale touring car. Brushless on 3s. It would catch flight at 60 (air gets under body and slightest bump shoots it 6 feet in the air). On a 1/14 scale I wouldn't want to go over 60 and trust me you'll never notice the difference between that and 100 without an airstrip
what brushless motor do you recomend for this rc car
What u building out of the snowmobile
Really good video
Can someone tell me what 3S battery I can use in the Wiltoys 144001 or whatever the model is - it’s the one that was the fastest in the video. Also - can someone send me a link to a brushless motor for that car? Thanks!!!!
I used this one from Banggood which is 1500mah and 40C(!) which for the $'s I felt was pretty good, you'll need xt60 to deans adapter though if you've not got one!
If I replace the tires on the 140001 can I off-road it
@Driftomaniacs Do you know if I can connect an XT60 LiPo battery to the Q912 RC? If there is, do I need to cut/solder the wires together to get a connection? Thank you!
Any battery connector can be made to fit, what you should be asking is a question about the battery voltage e.g will the Q912 take a 3s pack? The connector type is what will be the problem. You will need to check with the Q912 spec online to see the connector type which would be my starting point.
@@DriftomaniacsRC Okay, I was thinking about a 3s LiPo but I didn't specify that. Thanks a lot for the information!
Thanks for the shoutout Mate 👍 very well presented video 👌
No problem 👍
Good morning from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. I appreciate your instructive videos. They helped me buy my Wltoys144001. Also, quick question: Any plans on reviewing a Kyosho Fazer MK2? Just bought the 69 Corvette... Thanks again for your effort and content.
Thanks for the video. We would like another video on the top 5 rc cars with price $250 to $500. Very soon please 🙏
Noted!
Wow, expensive.
Great vid
that 144001 is in my scope!!!!!
I'm a newbie when it comes to RC cars. If I wanted to use the WLT toys 14401 off-road, mainly in a yard, grass, could I put some different wheels on it to make it perform better on grass? Mainly I'll be using it as a chase toy for cats. I have a little Walmart truck that will do 5 or 10 mi an hour it's not fast at all, And when I tie a ribbon on the back of it the cats go absolutely crazy chasing it.
I'd like to have something significantly faster. would it be as easy as getting some off-road wheels for it? To get it to really perform on grass it's cut to maybe at 2 or 3-in height?
Yes. If you were to put some offroad 1/10 scale tires on it, it would handle grass just fine. Keep in mind that with a higher center of gravity you will roll it more.
I have two of them one stock speedruner with rubber on road tires and a tricked out brushless ones.These are great for the money.Add brushless kit,on road shocks and wheels and she will fly.
What brushless kit did you use?
I used the gool Rc $30 setup from eBay.The motor is good but I wouldn’t recommend the gool Rc esc.It is not water proof and it can be glitchy at times.
What do u think I should get in new to this
Which one of these has the longest range? Also nice video
Hands down the wltoys 144001 is the way to go!!
That is so cool
Hey Richie. I just subscribed after I saw this video. I was gonna ask you or if anyone knows. When I looked up the 144001 online some of the ads say XKS 144001 and some just say 144001. Is there a difference or is it the same car?
Nope
Tutorial on how to install brushless?
I just picked up the bezgar 124hm it runs 30mph. And it's hobby grade. It's pretty good
Can't wit to get one looks awesome
Awesome video.. Had a yezi 1:18 scale for about $40 off amazon 55+kmh.. Fuckin beastly fast.. It was based off the traxxas titon.. For the price it was a steal. But im in a market for another one 1:10 scale this time. 🔥👍🏽🔥👌
My first A959B went 36.4 mph, second one ran 39.6 mph both stock from box the first one sounded like its drivetrain was dry it kinda whined a bit
What kind of motor can i upgrade to if i want it to stay brushed...without changing esc?
A 540 or 580 brushed can motor their abt 25$
Have you looked at the arrma granite voltage
Moves like a scalded cat 👍😎
For the number 5 car you say straight out the box on 3s, does 3s come with the box or does you have to buy that also?
Depends on the promotion at the time
Wondering if anyone could help, (quite new to the hobby) if you have for example 1/10 brushed motor car, and you wanted to upgrade to a brushless system, what parts would you need? I understand for a brushless system you need a brushless motor and a brushless ESC but what about the receiver? I know on some lower grade models (G174 etc) they might have the ESC & Receiver as one unit so you can’t really separate them; but if they are already separate units do you just need the brushless ESC & Motor? And can keep the original Transmitter & Receiver?
Cheers.
yes as long as the car has a separate esc and receiver e.g. not an all in one unit, then you just need to replace the esc and motor and keep your original RX and TX
Driftomaniacs thanks!
Is still the wltoys 14401 still good? Wich part brake first in case for buying part with the car
Yes the wltoys is very good. As to which part breaks first? Well that depends on you as the driver so that's a question nobody can answer
I just picked up a Nighthawk Baja for $40 Canadian and it looks like the same setup in the WL toys one
Thx I saved lots of money thx to you
Glad I could help
My spirit r/c truck is rated 2nd!!
not having any luck searching for the piranha.......anybody have a link?
My good man u were soooooo right on this one I brought that thing simply because on ur word n u were dead on this thing is a ROCKET THANKS
Stick cheap brushless combo in it for $35-45 and you'll be over 60 easily
I upgraded my wltoys 144001 to 3s brushless but now it keeps blowing out tyres on speed runs. Could you please recommend a good wheel/tyre combo that would be a suitable replacement please. Keep up the great videos 👍
Phil you know what, I immediately got 4 of the Duratraxx Badlands street / all purpose tire & wheel. They look really good and fit perfectly on the 144001. You notice the 144 comes with a little different set of tires than it's counterparts, those Badlands will work in dirt OE street speed runs, I love them, price wise they're not cheap, but, they're not expensive either. 👍💯
@@bangurhead4027 thanks very much, I will check those out.
@Phil the one and only contact foam tyres 1/10. i run 30mm on the back and 26mm on the front. Here in the US they cost $8 for a pair on Amain. I ran so far 72mph on 3S 1800mah brushless(4300KV)and 60mph on 3S 1800mah brushed 12T 550 motor.

What brushless kit did you use?
Try the bezgar 6,fully ballraced oil shocks on 2s lipo weighs nothing better wheels tyes goes any were.also bezgar8 2wd same too what a blast for the money.
I have a traxxas bandit and I am getting one of these
My wltoys on a 2s i got 40mph i dont know how but it does.i won't put a 3s in it i burned my other one up i should of let it cool down i didn't have the GPS when I had that one it was really quick though
im confused because i really want to buy the 144001, but when i go to specifications it says it has a brushed 550 motor?
yes indeed it does have a 550 motor! BUT it's speed comes from it weighing under 2lbs! It's power to weight ratio is huge!
my 144001 is slower than my vintage Tamiya Boomerang, so I've just ordered a new lipo to see if it that helps it achieve 60km, although at this stage, I'd be happy with 40kmh.
Go brushless
Which one will run best in grass
Can't see the red cat link
I had the wltoys A959-B it’s really good but the suspension is not that good, mine did 55km/h with almost 1kg on top of it
55kh on what surface? I would want to use mine mainly on a skate park but also grassy offroad.
Another great video from are friend with an accent, I do have 1 and #2 and enjoy as street rippers.. Sir Richie is correct when he points out not to jump #1 much as the shock towers bend easily both into and out of whack "ez fix"
I
The 144001 is definitely NOT a basher but I like it a lot. I have three. 😉
Best street... No bash. Lol
what breaks the most
@@Shaun-hp2yz for me it’s been the “C” hub. A better bumper would help with that.
@@RCModSquad thanks just ordered one how hard do you bash it
@@Shaun-hp2yz not that hard really just mostly on road but occasionally in the dirt and I ran it in the snow with paddle tires. That was really fun. I used the paddle tires for the Q901. It did great.
Most of my damage was hitting a curb at high speed. I think I hit one at 40 mph.
I don’t really jump it though. Mostly because I don’t have a place to do that or I’d probably give it a try.
How Long Does the wiltoys 144001 last? Like how Long can i drive with it fully charged before it dies?
about 20mins depends on how hard you drive it though
@@DriftomaniacsRC wow that thing is amazing, i really plan on buying it. I have 1 more questen tho. What does 2s and 3s mean?
Can you use the 4s and 6s on the WlToys 144001??
I'm not sure but I think that it would burn the motor out in an instant.
Good vid Ritchie....couldn't agree more. Got my 144001 up to 76 on 3s. Put a Traxxas 3s vxl brushless motor in it....its insane to control, but fun. Destroyed some stock parts, but they offer upgraded metal parts now, just have to be patient to get them. Bullet proof now.
Earl I may give that a go as I've a spare velineon sat on the side, on the basis that none of my recent builds are sane I think we'll give that a try, much appreciate the idea!
Do you have links to upgrade battery and motor to get it up to 70
@@MrKcg252 it was a 3s 1500mah batt from Amazon, and the motor I had, 3s traxxas vxl motor. Stock gearing, and foam tires from amain hobbies. Tires are important.
@@earlmauger3961 I bought the car and a brushless motor also purchased a s3 5200 mah battery from Amazon i ordered servo do I need to change servo to run new motor?
@@MrKcg252 yes you will, 3 wire small servo. That 5200mah will not fit, cant be bigger than 1500. Optimally, 850 to 1200mah. Not much room for batts. What kv motor did you buy?
i have a wltoys L303
it's good i like it
Anyone know what happened to the redcat piranha? I can't find it anywhere.
It’s been discontinued but for the price the Redcat blackout or volcano for 149 is a great deal
What would you say would be a good rc car for someone who’s a beginner
Where do you want to run it is my first question
Can anyone link a brushless kit like he was talking about?
Any 1/10 brushless system should work. I have been out of the hobby for a while but most of the 1/18 1/14 and 1/12 scales run 540 motors now. For 1/10 scale look at 3-4k kv motor. 1/16 5000 and 1/18 probably could push 6. The higher the kv the higher the rpm but also the hotter it will get. Less weight is less strain which is why the smaller scale the higher kv. Also depends on gearing. If you post the car your planning on getting I will look one up for you that will work good with your car. And of course best value for money.
Good video Governor, I agree with you 100% on this list, coming from the a959b AND the 144001 school myself owning both, I've had a real love 'n hate relationship with both those cars. I love to run them, I hate to break 'em!! 🤪 Unfortunately, I couldn't keep up with the ton of upgrades on both rigs so I decided to jump into a RedCat 🌪️ Tornado Epx pro buggy. I'm glad I got the RedCat, but, I tell you, I miss my 144 and my a959b, they're flat out fun to drive, Cheers!! 👍💯
Can someone link me a good 3s battery for the 144001? And a charger for the battery
space is the issue! RC master has good videos on this car, I am still learning, been out today with 3500kv velineon setup on shakedown run, qucik but not yet fast!!!
Driftomaniacs what 3s battery was used in the video? And did it need any adapters or anything?
spirit Q901/2/3
My center drive shaft bent on the tiniest of crashes.
Pity we have to wait a month for them to arrive to uk .
stevie it's odd on the arrma's they are made/designed in the UK but USA gets them 3-4weeks earlier than UK (And they're made/designed not far from my mum!)
cool RCs for the price,great video
The wltoys a959b is the funniest by far
what do you mean shelter in place car ? one that you use at your own house ?
yep
Wow
I found the WLToys 144001 on eBay, brand new, free shipping, for like $78. Should I post the link here?
I got one you should try it's by jrc called mad haste series it's built just like wltoys my model is a979a I have both and I believe it's faster than the 959b
It appears to be 979b with larger wheels/different body, as I say they do rebrand a lot of these cars, but 'believe'? that's only backed up with a GPS test. So many people say mine's faster than that, but if my car is faster than yours I'll say 'I was 2.7mph faster on my GPS'. Hope that makes sense. Happy for people to post faster cars but with a GPS test to back it up. Had one guy last week claim my redcat 18 GPS test was a lie as his did 'at least 30-35mph'. Indicating he clearly had never heard of a GPS meter....
@@DriftomaniacsRC I'm waiting for my GPS meter to come in so I didn't test it that way but when we raced the 2 the copy cat won 3 times but I'm gonna do them both up fully one I'm red and one in blue I love them and I also ordered the 16 scale buggy
That opening song sounds like something from system of a down
Does it come with a 2s or 3s? Battery?
which car?
I have a q903 and I LOVE it but it’s been broke for three months since I’ve ran it properly because I broke the driveshaft and I can’t get my hands on another one😢 I ordered one on banggood and never received it
I want a q903 also! Are the tires really smaller than the q902? Do they have different part numbers in the manual?
The only difference is the body! Also the tires are gonna need glue when you get it👍 but the only thing I don’t like is that the parts are from banggood and the parts all ship from China
What’s the difference between the 2s and 3s ?
2s = 7.4 volts 3s= 11.1 volts also the number of cells
Im getting the 144001, i have 50 dollars, just gotta keep doing chores and i may br sble to get it in a month or 2
U should do a rc car collection tour Bc it sounds like u have a fuck ton tbh
I have no idea what maot of this means I just want to find a good rc car for my son I think I found the one
What about the arrma granite voltage
Sadly it's not as fast as these are out of the box!
