Warby's WLtoys 144001/124019 speed run rig

I wasn't going to showcase this old build but I'm thinking of stripping it of its electronics or selling it. So I wanted to document it first.

This was my very first attempt at doing speed runs on a budget. I manage to get it to 119kmh (74mph) before moving onto Arrma.

It started its life as a WLtoys 144001 but was stretched using 124019 chassis, body etc and is running 4s.

I abandoned this project as I could not get consistent straight runs. Sometimes it would run dead straight and other times it was all over the place. Usually once it got up to speed it was on rails but getting it there was hard work. Also the monkey metal axles were bending too often and the wheel nuts kept coming loose.

Excuses me while I try to remember all the work I did to it. Some details may be a bit vague. It's been shelved since about 2021 or 2022.

Mods:

• 124019 LWB chassis
• 124019 Body with extended side skirts
• Custom centre driveshaft centre bearing support.
• 120A 4s WP-SC8 Brushless ESC
• Castle copy CM36 6900kV 1/10th Scale Brushless Motor
• Motor heatsink and fan
• 27T Pinion
• 4s2p1600mah Insaneya lipo
• JX servo 1181MG digital servo
• Upgraded alloy shock towers
• Upgraded alloy shocks
• Upgraded alloy hubs and steering knuckles
• Custom alloy centre brace
• New diffs
• Custom fitted droop screws
• Fitted front splitter/spoiler
• Contact 1/10 compound A soft foam tyres
• I also stripped the anodising off most of the alloy parts.

As you can see, I had to raise the body quite a bit to fit everything under it.
