This video came just in time for me personally man. I have my 104001 taken apart now to revamp the entire chassis and drivetrain. I WILL be using this method as a replacement for my original spur gear. The process of building this car has been slow but that’s what’s making it so exciting
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
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
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 👍
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 would highly recommend that anyone wanting to buy the 104001 in order to upgrade and race it, does not, and instead either buys the LCRacing LC10b5 (which I also have) or even a second hand Associated/Losi/Xray buggy instead. To directly answer your question, I'd estimate that excluding electrics (as the LC version comes with none) that even with the upgrades, the 104001 still cost less than the LC kit.
Yes using these dogbones you should be able to use the LCracing diff or slipper directly. Unfortunately they are both quite expensive to buy individually
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
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.
Hi, sorry for the late reply. The answer would depend on what motor you’re running and what you’re doing with the car. Something in the 20-30 range would probably be about right.
Not on RU-vid but broadly: Carbon suspension towers hinge pin blocks and upper deck parts. Lc10b5 front CVd and springs Uprated hinge pin bolts HSP Unlimited steering/suspension links and balls. Alloy hexes Brushless stuff
I see this cf gear is not available...Are there any other after market spur gears for this car that weigh less than stock and will hold up well? Also the stock gears are mod .6 ..so i would want mod .6 of coarse..thanks 😊
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!
