Hello! No, the standard WPL 370 motor, meant for 2-speed gearbox, is a little slower, but has much more torque and better low speed performance, all with the stock electronics. There are faster 370 motors though but I dont know how they will work with the stock radio/esc as they consume more amps. The esc may burn or just cut off due to overwork.

Hello! Thank you for watching and commenting and for your interest! It sounds like you have bought an MN 99s or similar car. To convert into brushless you need to buy some stuff, that´s clear... You need a brushless motor with esc and a radio to control it (the stock radio equipment does not work with brushless). I use a WPL 2-speed gearbox, which I would recommend, for both low and high speed performance. To control the gearbox the radio must have at least 3 channels. I have replaced the plastic gears with metal ones. You also need to replace the plastic driveshafts with metal ones. The stock lighting with turn signals and reverse lights will not work with a new radio so you must replace it also, if you want lighting on the car. All this will cost you a little more than the car itself... If you are into the hobby for a while you can use the radio to control several cars - I control 4 to 6 cars with the same transmitter and several receivers, which holds the cost down. Here are links to equipment that is usable to convert the car. Good luck! www.banggood.com/Racerstar-2838-Sensorless-Waterproof-Motor-3600-or-4500KV-35A-ESC-For-1-or-12-1-or-14-Cars-p-1056318.html?cur_warehouse=CN&ID=518005&rmmds=search www.aliexpress.com/item/33057520491.html www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006459100471.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.1.6d821eceW40963&algo_pvid=bb4c044c-8ff0-498e-9d7e-46b6f7990522&algo_exp_id=bb4c044c-8ff0-498e-9d7e-46b6f7990522-0&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21SEK%21571.13%21571.13%21%21%21386.08%21386.08%21%40211b65de17270024323998023e9a67%2112000037272512264%21sea%21SE%214290114320%21X&curPageLogUid=KqsNH5MYQ34C&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch%7Cquery_from%3A www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004976979585.html?src=google&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21SEK%2142.49%2142.49%21%21%21%21%2110.5784%40%2112000032441213751%21ppc%21%21%21&src=google&albch=shopping&acnt=298-731-3000&isdl=y&slnk=&plac=&mtctp=&albbt=Google_7_shopping&aff_platform=google&aff_short_key=UneMJZVf&gclsrc=aw.ds&&albagn=888888&&ds_e_adid=&ds_e_matchtype=&ds_e_device=c&ds_e_network=x&ds_e_product_group_id=&ds_e_product_id=en1005004976979585&ds_e_product_merchant_id=662552590&ds_e_product_country=SE&ds_e_product_language=en&ds_e_product_channel=online&ds_e_product_store_id=&ds_url_v=2&albcp=21634419038&albag=&isSmbAutoCall=false&needSmbHouyi=false&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwgL-3BhDnARIsAL6KZ6_Swob3WXaTPwMlFnsMkcG4S64RIfow6PxKGCajeQoLWffurPuLKhEaAuhgEALw_wcB

@@Georgieframethank you for this detailed guide sir, really appreciate it. hopefully i'll be able to show it to you soon :)

@@ImpalaSuperSport Thank you, glad if I can inspire a little! Your plan sounds very good! It's a perfect car to modify. Good luck!

Thank you very much for checking in and watching this stone-age video! I still have the body around though and may mount it on a chassis again for a drive! 👍👍😊😊

@@Georgieframe Excellent plan and a good weekend to you, great to talk, cheers ☺✌

Better late than never! 😁😁 Thank you very much Carl! 😊😊

Thank you very much! 😊😊

Hello! This is a funny one! I found an old video I recorded about 8 years ago, and re-edited it to a shorts video, because I thought it was a pity not showing it to the world! 😁😁 Thanks for watching! 👍👍

@@NGDZ You may be right about it, but I'm not that sensible! I still use the 4500 kv in the car, but now with a 2-speed gearbox and it works great, both for speed and crawling. 😀👍

Thanks, glad you like it! The wheels are widened by glueing aftermarket metal rims to WPL V1 rims. You can see at 2,05 in the video how it´s done. The tyres I use are soft WPL V1, the kit type tyres, with added foams to keep the profile better. A link to the metal rims I use: www.aliexpress.com/item/10000365163355.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.11.d03c18029QvUId

Hello! I can recommend it! I use a wpl standard 370 motor from a 2-speed gearbox (in which I´ve put a brushless motor) and I am pleasantly surprised with how it performs. I just had to press the pinion about 2 millimeter further in on the shaft, then it fits perfect in the gearbox. With the stock radio/esc it has fantastic low speed control and the power is more than enough for climbing the steepest obstacles. It´s not fast but for crawling and driving in tough terrain it´s perfect! 👍👍😊😊

@@Georgieframeto put a 2 speed transmission in this, the remote and esc would have to be upgraded correct? Sorry for all the questions, this is my first build and I’m trying to figure out what all I need to order.

@@Im4evergrateful70 Yes, to put a 2-speed transmission in you must upgrade to at least 3-channel radio. There are some different options. Personly I like Dumbo RC 6-channel radio, which can also control winch and other extras. Then you also need a separat esc, preferably one that can handle 3s battery, if you want more speed. Also WPL RES-V3 radio works very good. It comes with a sound module, can shift gears and control a winch, also turn lights and sound on and off. It has combined receiver/esc unit and it can take 3s battery if you want. A downside is that with 2s battery it´s a little less powerful than a separate 40 or 60 amp esc. Good luck with your upgrades! 😊😊

@@Georgieframe Thank you for the information. I think I’m just going to start a single speed, but went ahead and bought a 2 speed transmission as well. I just got back into RC’s and the technology has taken giant leap, so I’m playing a lot of catch up learning.

@@Im4evergrateful70 So it is! I bought my first rc-car in 1989 (Kyosho Hi-Rider Corvette, it´s still working!) and very much has changed since then! 👍👍😊😊

@@TomWest-ir5vq Hello! The simple answer is NO! I tried to use a brushed 390 on it and it got so hot that the built in cooling fan melted and the motor collapsed. The gearing was simply to high. I recommend using a WPL 2-speed gearbox instead, it's much better!

@@Georgieframe what about a 380 brushed motor

@@TomWest-ir5vq Wouldn´t recommend that either. This was a fun experiment when i modified an aftermarket singlespeed gearbox to use first a brushless 370 motor and then a brushed 390. None of them actually worked well, because the gearing was way too high. These gearboxes are made for mounting a 370 motor with reduction between the motor and gearbox, which means power at low speed but no high speed at all. If you want speed I recommend a WPL 2-speed gearbox, which kan take all kinds of 370 motors - brushless. normal brushed or high speed brushed motor, and deliver both low and high speed. Another option that can also work is getting an all metal gearbox (singlespeed) for D12, you can find it for example on Aliexpress, that can take different 370-type motors. This gearbox only have output för rear wheel drive but it can rather easily be modified with a longer outputshaft to support 4 wd.

@@jspeedrc Thank you very much, I wish you the same!

Thank you very much Del, glad you like my mods! 😊😊

Thank you very much for watching and commenting, really glad you like it! Good luck with modifying your c64! 😊

@@rcworldKenya Thank you very much for subscribing, I'm really glad you like my upgrade and little video!

Thank you Carl, really glad you like it! I wanted to do something I had not seen anybody else do to this car, plus it seemed to be the best way to put the battery in the front! The stock battery location on the bed makes it flip over backwards all the time! 😊😊

@@Georgieframe it's a brilliant idea well done!

Thank you very much! Yes, it performs surprisingly well with the stock radio/esc and 370 motor! 😊😊

Thank you very much Rene, I´m really glad you like it! 😊😊

@@Georgieframe you're welcome 😸

Thank you very much Carlos, really glad you like it! 😊😊

Hello! The stock esc does not work with brushless stuff. I use a 3 channel radio from Austar and bought a Racerstar 2838 motor and esc combo from Banggood. This one: www.banggood.com/Racerstar-2838-Sensorless-Waterproof-Motor-3600-or-4500KV-35A-ESC-For-1-or-12-1-or-14-Cars-p-1056318.html?cur_warehouse=CN&ID=518005&rmmds=search

Thank you very much, glad you like it! 😊😊

Thanks very much! 😊😊

Hello! No this version of the car can not crawl, it's useless for everything but fast driving, just a fun experiment. I rebuilt it soon after this video to a version that can both go fast and crawl. Here is a link to that version: th-cam.com/video/WxgsD2Ns08I/w-d-xo.html

It is 2s!

Hello! It's homebuilt, using hard plastic and duct tape, then sprayed with a military green colour! 😊😊

Thank you very much, I'm really glad you like both cars! About the VW: It's really only a toy from the beginning, from which I use the body, with at homebuilt chassis. The scale is WPL size, about 1:14 or 1:16. I made a video when I used the body on a WPL c24 chassis, i leave a link to it. I plan to make a video with the homebuilt chassis I use now,but haven't done it yet. 😊😊 Link to c24 monster beetle: th-cam.com/video/EFnaLNJjB1g/w-d-xo.html

Thank you very much, glad you like it and many thanks for subbing! 😊👍

Hello! First of all, the brushless motor I bought came without a pinion, which is most common. Then you must mount a pinion matching the gears in this specific gearbox. I took the pinion off a 260 motor and mounted it on the brushless as it matched the gears in the gearbox,

Thank you very much! What I like with the V3 is mainly the winch/tipper control and the car 2 mode, which is very usable. 😊😊

Yes, thanks for watching and commenting! 👍👍😊😊

Terima kasih banyak, senang sekali Anda menyukainya! 😊😊

Thank you very much my friend, really glad you like it! 😊

Thank you Carlos, glad you like it. I'm usually not too keen on WPL radios but must admit the Res v3 works good for some purposes! 😊😊

Thanks very much, glad you like it! Yeah, these rigs are really fun, at a moderate cost! I also have an Eachine EAT01, converted to flatbed for car transport, it works well. I guess it would be possible to stabilize the action as you mention, but it would need a more sophisticated power transmission than the simple 5 mm threaded rod I use here. We'll see in the future... Thanks again and good luck with your 8x8 conversion, that's an interesting project! 😊😊

Thank you very much Del! I should have mentioned the motor, it's a stock WPL 370 with reduction and singlespeed gearbox, the high ground clearence type. The 3s of course give more speed too, but more important is that it obviously delivers more raw power! 😊

@@Georgieframe I like that combination of motor and gearing for a WPL.

@@Del350K4 Yes, it works very good, especially for crawling!

I like content like this a lot of creative

@@artisgagal5320 Thank you very much, really glad you like it! 😊

Thank you, really glad you like it! 😊😊

Sounds like an excellent idea! Are you going to use the chassis from your latest bodybuilding video or do you have one more 124301? Guess a WPL C34 cab will fit very good on that 1:12 scale chassis. However you do it, I'm sure the results will be very impressive! 👍👍😊😊

@@Georgieframe I absolutely hate robbing parts from one build to do another. In fact, if I habitually watch a channel and realise that this is standard practice, I stop watching. I think "Hang on, I spent hours watching you build that - and now you're just going to kill it to build something else?" So I shall have to procure: 1 x MN Models Toyota body (which I'd turn into a cab, as you did) or C44 cab. 1 x 124301 1 x Flysky 2/3 ch radio 1 x steering servo 1x ESC 1 x set of wheels and tyres. I think that's it. Of course, for that money I could buy a C44KM, but that would be too sensible a decision. Or I could put it on the new leaf-sprung MN Toyota LC70 chassis, but they don't have that "proper lorry" presence that you get with the WL Toys.

@@Del350K4 A very good plan and, as I wrote before, I'm sure the result will be excellent. The WLT 124301 looks like a very interesting base for a conversion, but where do you buy one? I've searched the internet but it seems to be either sold out or available in australian or US webstores which is a little too far away. 🤔🤔

Thank you very much, really glad you like my little flatbed! 😊😊

Yes, one might wonder... At least you did the right thing! Thanks for liking my little video! 😊😊

@@Georgieframe I think they used them largely on-road. If you don't need off-road capability, then I guess it's worth taking advantage of the fact that tyres with a smaller outer diameter will offer better acceleration and braking.

@@Georgieframe I love your videos!
