Guess what I found inside the WLToys104001-Teardown and Inspection 

powder metal junk imo

Awesome video man. Really enjoying the channel after getting back into this hobby after 10 years. Keep it up 👍

4m22,"Only need one or two tools to take this apart" ...plus a blowtorch and a prayer to the heavens,

great teardown and information on the buggy

Cool video, thanks for the pre-run check up!

Nice video. I appreciate the breakdown! I definitely learned my lesson especially with Wltoys. Had no grease.

Sweet bro! Lookin' for the run/bash vid! Can't wait to get mine.👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾

I think this RC is still good because its price is just 100 euro dollars only and it gets a universal joint in its driveshaft. A minor problem is that the differential gears are not sealed so you can't fill silicone oil. Slipper Clutch or central differential gear is not necessary for a beginner to experience RC toys. Mine 14002 has been totaled within 3 weeks because Wltoys has miscalculated the suspension shafts. Front suspension shafts are bent under compression due to cornering which results in steering failures and crashes. As the chassis is bent, the differential gears and gearboxes cannot be installed because it is a shaft-drive system. It explains the universal joint driveshaft system is very important. I also think powder metal is not a problem if you are not playing Wltoys competitively with a high-end sensored brushless 5.5t motor - 13.5t surpass hobby ESC-motor-combo is, of course, a good option for Wltoys.

Awesome video 👍 Very informative bro 👍

Hey bro, totally enjoyed that video. I found another one and said the same thing about the diffs. Could you show what you use to grease the gears and oil. I own 2 RC Trucks and I know nothing about the parts inside, haven't drove them yet as I am preparing to setup a track. The reason why I ask is because I want to be sure that I don't want to spend money on RC's that aren't properly greased. Can you share a video of the stuff I'll need to buy? Very Appreciated. I have another youtube videos for Hot Wheels and RC, but I'm using this one as I was thinking about RC. OH and btw, I'm bookmarking this video too. Great way to start inspecting the RC. Thanks for the video :).

I always put grease just a little on my pinion and spur. By doing this it makes it run smoother and a little more quiet. Great video like always have a great day everyone and don't let off the throttle

Great Vid!

Absolutely! Nut and bolt! Also check for grease.

awesome video! awesome job wltoys!

Opinion on grease vs oil in the differential? I’m new to the hobby and just opened up my car’s diffs to find just a little oil in there.

Awesome video and that kosmo poster is effing mint!

Cool and sweet

I like how Wltoys gives us serious tire destroying power, but gives us tires that will be worn to racing slicks inside of a few runs.😂

Shock oil is hard to find?

I teared mine down , checked the shocks and covered how the diff's had no grease on mine last week on my channel 😂 I also added a bit of grease on the pinion and spur, plus the tyres wear out real quick after a couple runs definitely want to check it over before running it. Good vid mate

Its a really good clone of the xray xb4. I just got mine for 99 bucks shipped via amazon.

Looking good Very decent rig for the money

Okay. I subscribed and I rang the...uh...dingle...dongle.

Does this little buggy have the same “wow” factor like the 018/019 ?

Have you tried to twist the chassis from front to back? As in put something under the chassis between the wheels and push down on the front and rear wheels. There is some serious flex in that metal chassis unfortunately.

I was out when you said Phillips hardware lol. This does look like an amazing car for price though. Also I think it's fine for you to put a little dab of grease on that spur and pinion. It looked like it was metal on metal.

Cosmo Kramer? Turbo Yoda would approve. Sold. Subbed. Hook, line, and sinker.

what new wheels and tires are you replacing the stock ones with?

오일새는거 막아주는게 뭔가요?

Adding grease to the pinion and spurr... Tried that once, never again LOL. The whole inside of the cover ended up with a thin layer of brass dust and oil... Completely wore down the parts by doing that - essentially turned it i to a fine polishing mechanism. Do it at your own risk, folks..

Looks like they did a proper copy of the lc racing LC10 regarding the sway bar holder.

Will you ever or have you ever covered the XRAY models?

I like it when WL toys uses Phillips head screws because their hex head screws strip so easily due to poor manufacturing quality.

Chumlee does RC. Subscribed.

I wounder how strong that rc is it looks very cool

What weight grease should you add? 🤔 Would white lithium have any advantages?

Silicon oil is becoming a pain to find in the weights you need. I’m hunting for some 500,000cts for a upgraded center diff build for my Typhon 6s.

good info 💪🏾💯

my shocks were way over filled and the diffs were dry as a bone. the metal in the diffs is TERRIBLE

I found 100% dried out spot of goop, fully hardened in my scx10 copy i've just bought. In the diffs and pininon/spur. Gearbox prolly dry too

How awesome if they made these in 1/8 scale !! ;)

I did the same thing when checking the diffs, haha. way too many screws ...

will you race it ???

Omg im not the only one who knows what 104001 MEANS! HOLY HELL im so happy! I've literally been correcting youtubers all month who had no clue of the naming convention they use for their cars despite it being kinda obvious. Yah, my brushless system is shipped before the car has ^_^ youre right. :D. The front and rear diff, grease it hard. It breaks them if you aren't careful. Hell, imma race it! I wanna knock some rich boys down a peg.

I seen on a couple of websites that are brushless

Ok so your viewers will know. (besides the 4wd part) what is a better bang for there buck this wl toys 1000000000432736 or a Traxxas bandit. Id like to know the quality of electronics, how does the plastic feel soft or durable, parts supply and what needs to be done out of the box. Speed too. Everyone loves speed. Lol. Being that the bandit is 149 rtr it's pretty close to the wl toys price point. U have experience with both. I would love to hear your thoughts.

we have wet break transmission fluid aka ATF and if is thin is what you need 0w30 and so forth .think out side the box lol plus i am cheap in a smart way so they say

Crap the chassis is more bent than my old P.E teacher.....flex me baby.

Where would a 54 yr old newbie try to play w toy cars on a track have several wltoy cars 969 14thsce 12thscale and 10th scale and bucket of spare and upgraded parts yet not brave enough to go to track yet

I think the zd race sway bars fit

This is an Xray XB4 Copy as far i can see.. there are some points where they saved money though

hey tou, yeah you, i love ur vids, and cuz i dont know what this means, i gunna say it... UWU :)

Original tacon soar buggy!

Are KYOSHO planning an answer to the ARMMA 1/7 scale cars?

I bought 2 of these on sale, checked same as you, and suprised when there was no lubrication on difs or shocks, greased it up and filled shocks, now the cars are way better.

The hype for this thing is unreal, some RU-vidrs are becoming rabid fanboys and denying any shortcomings about Wltoys. It's good to see honest down to earth teardowns and reviews, Wltoys quality control has been suspect for a while. If you need to tear it down and add grease/oil can it really be called ready to run? That's why RTRs cost more than kits and rollers, you're paying for the convenience of not having to assemble it before running. A certain well known RC brand assembles their trucks in Taiwan and their quality control is great.

don't know why all the hipe, hsp xstr is around the same price and looks a lot better car, and as hafe the people who get this are going to put a brushless upgrade in it anyway i'd just get the hsp pro witch is the one i have yep it has a few problems but at least you can get a proper battery in it and will do arount 50 mph on 3s strate out the box. it's a no brainer to me lol, was looking at getting the brushed one as i race my mate in a barn all the time even on 2s the pro is far too fast,

Never put grease on the spur/pinion. Sand/dirt gets in there and will grind. Grease is for the ring gear in the diff and silicone diff lube goes inside the diff.

i am sure lc racing sway bars bolt right on jut like they do on 144001...

LC racing sells an Uber version of the same buggy

Can I swap the castle 2028 1100kv motor in the Wltoys 104001

The chassis bends like a hot slice of pizza and the electronics are very garbageble, everything else it's pretty nice That is what everyone should do to new cars, cheap or expensive, a good check up will save some money

Amazing ✔

Do you really need to grease anything? Pretty sure you don't at the 550 level. Maybe if you go 3s....

Well I will definitely have to do this as I found the 104001 on clearance from Walmart for $65. Really doesn't hurt to take a flyer on it at that price. Keep up the good work fellas!

🆒🆒🆒👍🏻

You can find cheap carbon upgrades for this.

Should we do that for all new RC Cars or just that one 🤔

The battery compartment is very small

I would put my own system in it

Hahaha racing? I'd like to see someone go up against some tekno, tlr ,associated or, x-ray buggies with a wl toys lol that chassis look alot like my exceed terrain 10 chassis. If that's anything like my exceed it will.never have a chance in a 4wd class

EVERYBODY getting freebies for review from Banggood MUST give a true, critical review - good or bad. ALL of the electronics WILL have to be replaced. Add that to the initial cost to buy and you have the price of a hobby grade brushless, right out of the box. If Banggood wants to boost sales, rather than give a dozen of these to reviewers who will get them at the same time and bombard RU-vid with reviews, all at the same time, they should get their RC stuff in their US warehouse to avoid the 3 MONTH shipping time!!! OBTW, one of the big British guys doing reviews was a little disappointed with the flex in the "metal" chassis.

How about putting it on a block n show everyone how bad n crappy the chassis flex is to the point the front driveshaft can flex out,ill pass

I just want to know who the hell told you that I wanted them to take all their rubbish metals & plastics & turn them into bigger pieces just to make them smaller again when they break 😂. I 100% never ever would have said that unless I knew they was upgrading metals & plastics to a better grade but as I’ve said before “they Always go for the largest profit margin”. Unfortunately that means rubbish metals & plastics. & How dare you compare Wltoys to Kyosho & losi. I’m totally telling both of them on you 😂. Maybe they can get your mum to talk some sense into you 😂🤪

Wltoys is way over hyped and their stuff is brushed junk. So many are falling for this garbage. When you spend $100.00 to get it brushless and some quality tires you might as well spend some money on a real RC not a toy. No grease in the diffs tells you they are not good quality.

Promoting the worst wltoy ever is sign you need to stop affiliate links or get an optician or jump higher than 5 cm. Think about lot of people will hate you after realizing you fooled them.
