Scale RC Experience
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 21 พ.ย. 2013
Find reviews, RC builds, tips and tricks, RC tech about scale RC cars and trucks. I've been into the hobby for almost twenty years and started out in the bashing side of the hobby but it didn't take me long to be drawn to crawlers and scale RC vehicles, most of the content here will be about the scale side of the hobby. Trail trucks, crawlers, some on road cars and a couple drifters. If it's scale and it looks realistic I'm all about it.

WPL C24 quick run in rocks and hill climb
So if i get wpl 30amp esc, i need to get something else too? Its not just plug and play?
Unfortunately no, I eventually upgraded all of it, but in order to run that esc you'll need a radio and receiver, I use Flysky but any bargain radio will work, just find something with a small receiver.
That's a beautiful little truck!
Great channel my friend! I watched a number of your videos tonight. Subscribed! Aloha from Maui 😎🤙🏽
Does it have brass steering links?
No, it does not, it really doesn't need much more weight to be honest, does pretty well as is to be honest.
Nice and informative video.
Glad you liked it!
Hello, Congrats for the building and video! I would have a question regarding what parts I should use if I would like to strengthen the suspension without conversion to 4 links (i have 2 spring leaf broken in 1 week)? i know that I have to buy the c34 shock absorbers and type 1 brass balls but the truss that I see on wpl site is dedicated to the conversion. I think I need to go with something from aliexpress...but what should I choose? Thank you, Aurel
I would seriously consider doing the 4 link conversion, yes I know it's not scale to the vehicle but the 4 link setup is much more reliable.
@@SRCE2070 yeah, maybe moving to 4 links is the right move but I really like the leafs. It keeps the originality
I three of these system in my 1/10 crawlers. I love of.
I have 3 or 4 myself and they are really nice!
@SRCE2070 Thanks for a fantastic and detail review. Sorry i have a few questions that i hope you might be able to help. For the WPL esc, is it plug and play with the MN tx/rx? And does it bring out more low end torque of the MN motor? It is lacking a bit with stock set up. Also, for the dog bone brass bushing, do you mean pushing it further into the plastic sleeve of the dog bone? Mine hasn’t broke yet but might want to tighten it first before it came loose or cracked? Thanks in advance.😊
You would have to use a new transmitter and receiver for the WPL esc, I use a hacked Flysky gt3b, Using 3s with the WPL esc really brings the stock motor to life, Yes you would want to push the brass bushing outward closer to the wheel.
@@SRCE2070 thanks for the response. Will be looking around for a set of tx/rx
Thanks for the video and the insightful commenting. Really appreciate your content. It's a shame how the incline of the rock area is so hard to judge when seen 2D on a flat screen. The steps give an indication though.
Thanks for watching!
👍
1st to watch
Thanks it's appreciated!
Those are super scale. Nice 👍🏾
hallo,where i can buy? have some link like tokopedia or shopee?
This is where I got mine www.ebay.com/itm/253194797960
@@SRCE2070 thank you very much sir🙏🏻
I need to do the 4link, i keep breaking the leaf springs😢
It's definitely a more stout setup, not as scale but better for crawling.
Thanks. Looking forward to the video. That little FJ40 looks amazing too by the way. Is that a custom body on a 1/24 chassis?
The FJ40 has a hard body on it from The Hardbody crawler co. yes it's on a scx24, I will probably doing a video on that in the near future as well.
@@SRCE2070 Thanks. Looking forward to that.
Anyone know the size of those tires he put on the Fcx18?
When I get home Sunday I'll give you a measurement.
They are Little guy racing products Trail kings I measured them at 63mm
I’m hooked on the injora line of tires also
Their new smaller crawler tires ROCK!
I'm considering buying this RC, because this is my first time getting into the RC hobby. is the electronics stock strong in the long term if we play it right? If it's rarely used, does it break quickly like an ESC error?
I would honestly upgrade the esc, I didn't have any luck with the earlier MN Models escs lasting, I haven't ran the stock red one long enough to know but it's getting upgraded too.
@@SRCE2070Unfortunately I don't have more budget. My budget is very limited, so after spending money on this RC I can't upgrade.
@@jitihuN21 buy the $12 dollar Wpl esc I have linked in description it works great, 3s 30amp
@@SRCE2070thank you
I like them all,that’s my problem. They keep making them i will keep buying them. Few mods and they awesome ,great video.
There's so many good choices out now, it's hard to choose, thanks for the compliment!
Awesome Tutorial and Great info share my Friend ❤ Thks 🎉
Thank you!
You're welcome my Friend ❤ Big thanks for the info
where is the front bumper from mate? thanks!
It's there, it's the optional WPL tube bumper.
I used to race, so my big tip for OIL SHOCKS is to get a lot of plastic shock piston discs for dampening experimentation. Usually they'll have two holes, but you can notch triangles into the opposite side edges to increase flow to make spongier shocks (10w oil) w/ softer springs so that driving at speed over terrain will look floaty and realistic instead of bouncy. #oilshocks
Haven't figured out which shocks I'm gonna use yet, but yes I agree
@@SRCE2070 perhaps see how much maximum travel you can get out of it if you can find alternate front mounting points.. have the resting position midway to get the best articulation and least stress on the driveshaft.
Is the link rod measurement from hole to hole?
Yes, or eye to eye as I call it, wpl links for lowers and aftermarket for uppers that I have a link for.
@@SRCE2070 thank you very much, you are very helpful
Dang dude, great content! Keep up! 💪
Thanks!
Super cool. I want to buy a Suzuki , and your video Is very good and practical with the pieces and upgrade. You can share the spare parts list, please.
You should find what you need in this video, any questions please ask th-cam.com/video/2IVp8-No5u4/w-d-xo.html
I’m new to the hobby and I just bought 4 of these c74’s for me and my folks! This was great info and thank you for the links brother!
@makeshiftmotorco4413 For the price these are great rigs, upgrades are eventually needed but the upgrades are even reasonably priced, I've been into RC for around 20 years and believe me, save the aggravation and do your research for upgrades, for the most part WPL has the better upgrades, most aftermarket ebay stuff doesn't work without alot of tweaking.
Muito bom o vídeo amigo está bem realista, só está faltando um detalhe o personagem porque o carro está parecendo um fantasma andando é uma opinião amigo,👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😍🤩
Thanks
Hell I’m still waiting on my mn82 was wondering what kind of tires you used for the upgrade? I’m also waiting on metal drive shaft n axels up grade.
On the yellow truck I used WPL first version soft kit tires on WPL C34/44 wheels, I have foams in the front and weights in the back two, these tires, wheels, weights, and foams are available on the official WPL website. However I'm testing some new Injora tires that I will be reviewing soon on the yellow truck, they are hands down better than this setup.
The Glacier is now at $90 on fairrc (half the price of the FCX18).👍😊 It has an interior and front under fenders that are both missing on the K10. It also has a scale chassis more accurate than the FCX18 K10's. Not a bad RC truck. It hasn't the same purpose as the K10. Not made for rock crawling job. The ESC and transmitter are rubbish. Must be replaced by those from the FCX24. Then, this Glacier can be a nice scale truck. That's what i'm working on (i have one).😉
I like the Glacier for what it is, but it needs a few things to be up to snuff, it has a bit better scale detail as you said, the Glacier needs all metal gears to reliable over time, I've had them for over a year but have yet to install them, and yes a better esc and oil filled shocks but at that point you are probably at about the same price for the K10 if not maybe a touch more.
Seen a guy cut the wires on the turn signals but that might cut the circuit ... 4wd ya don't use blinkers.hahahahaha
Yeah I seen that too, I don't know if I'm gonna mess with it just yet, doesn't bother me that much but I'm sure it'll get on my nerves at some point lol
A very interesting insight into this RC. It's been very helpful. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! There will be more on these coming soon.
Not even a like or comment I swear I added both good stuff my friend
Thank you! I really appreciate it!
How do you remove the shackels? Can't remove it because the shaft seems like loctided unless i break the shackels mount
They are press fit, you can push upper pin out, they push outward away from truck, use a tool slightly smaller than pin to push out.
I want to know if the windshield bends easily. In case of an accident it will bend.
It's lexan, so yes you'd have to be careful , although it has been rolled over a few times and is ok so far.
Nice
It's a nice rig for the price.
I am new an freaking Love this Hobby. And my first RC in 35 years. WPL C24-1. It is amazing little machine. $45 on ali LOL
I bought my first C24 in 2018 by accident, just wanted the body lol, I now have over 20 WPLs and almost a hundred RCs in total, I love this hobby!
I wonder if modding the stock electronic will yeild better performance, the battery leads wire gauge is sooo very thin, the motor and switch are slighty bigger gauge but that switch is so dinky, those small slide switchare only rated for like 0.2-0.5A DC, I would bypass the switch and wire it another battery connector/leads with at least 20awg, the stock rx/esc motor controller is the SA8336D which is capable of 7A continuous and 14A peak current but with that much voltage loss/resistance in the wire, forget about that lol edit: I just checked and the switch is wire with 24AWG, I measure the resitance of the power leads and its also probably 24AWG, just looks thinner because of the thin sheath, but then the connector is also a limiting factor, JST PH 2.0mm are only rated for 2A max
In this video the yellow truck has a WPL 30amp esc running 3s, it has plenty of power and wheel speed, I even changed to thicker motor wires, huge difference over the red one.
@srce2070 what about the low speed control of the 30amp esc? Does it give more torque? For slow crawl. Still with stock motor.
@@SRCE2070 on stock remote and receiver?
i got a C24 back in 2019. i got metal parts couple of months after that. i just manage to install them last month.. can you imagine that lol. Now im having trouble with the metal drive shaft. it just wont grip on the gear rod. that was 2 weeks ago.. too tired to fix it again. will probably again in a couple of weeks once i have more free time.. Good vids btw.
Thanks, I'm new to videos but not RC, hope to get better at the video part lol, I've got a lot of content coming so stay tuned.
This MN model is fantastic, easily the best I've bought yet. While I also own the MN82. Funny, I ended up buying two of these trucks simultaneously just like you, knowing I'd likely tinker and need spare parts. That's the great thing about these affordable RC trucks, you don't have to worry as much about breaking something, experimenting with mods or just using the body on another rig. Thanks for the video!
I have 2 c14 trucks and the d12 mini truck but they are in parts in a box.
Time to get em outta the box and get to building 👍
I order one it Will be my frist. Do you thing i should use in the sad or Will broke the RC? Its waterproof?
I don't understand first part of your question, I don't think it's waterproof, you'd have to check with manufacturer, I don't run my RCs in very much water anymore, causes too many issues later on.
Sorry I was asking if I should use in the sand 😅
Yes you can run in sand but it will require more maintenance for sure, these don't have bearings but they do have metal gears in the axles and that sand will over time destroy those gears and all the plastic bushings, I would disassemble, clean, and regrease axles regularly. The transmission would also need the same regular maintenance in those conditions.
@@SRCE2070thx 🙂
I would run it on 2nd speed which has drag brake, capped at 50% PWM
Yes I agree but not a great drag brake, the WPL 30amp 3s esc will actually hold the truck on a hill.
@@SRCE2070 yeah i did brushless conversion and the truck holds by itself without power hahaha
@@daijoubu4529 That makes sense, I was comparing two brushed trucks, yellow has 30amp 3s WPL esc and the red one is completely stock.
Great review. I agree these small trucks are fun to modify at a low cost. 👍
Thanks 👍 I appreciate the feedback
Love what you did with your MN82, thanks for sharing! The white on the Toyota lettering on the tailgate makes a huge difference. What did you do for the white? Paint or decal rub? For my MN82 I have swaped my front axles for metal (mostly for the added weight), and the drive shafts as well. Unfortunatley my metal front axle came with outer bearings missing, the risk of Aliexpress orders I suppose. I also installed weighted beadlocks with a sticky tire, but with the tire diameter being slightly larger by a few mm, the tires bind on the fender when turning. Thanks again for the video!
Thanks! I used a craft paint marker I found at a dollar store, it was a pretty easy job but you still have to take your time and be careful, I did it looking through a magnifying light.
@@SRCE2070 Great, thanks!
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe.
Thank you 👍
Thank you kindly! I bought my nephew an MN78 for Christmas. He has already broken the rear driveshaft, and I can see the metal pin dislodged in the front steering knuckle. I have 3 other MN78s, two have been used for over a year with no problems. The third is where I'll get donor parts to fix his truck. This was a very helpful video as I'm trying to wear these things out and upgrade the weak parts. I'm also waiting on parts to swap metal gears into the MN78 transmission and convert it to a 370 motor. Anyway, I enjoyed your discussion and found it quite informative. Cheers!
Thank you for the kind words, I’m new to doing videos but not to Rc so hopefully I can help others in the future as well. Rc has been very therapeutic for me, it’s a great hobby!
It sure is! I only started making rc videos last year about the same time as I started with the hobby. There is a big learning curve, but I enjoy it. You definitely helped me today. @@SRCE2070
I got a couple vids of the red one all i did was swap out wheels and tires and worked on its stock suspension and detailed the body and interior...its by far the best stock esc receiver and motor that has come in wpl or mn ..👍
I do have to agree as far as these RTRs go, this has to be MN Models best rig yet! I changed to the 30 Amp 3s for more power and better slow speed control, but yeah the stock unit is miles ahead of the previous ones.
Great tip! I imagine that servo board could be used for any number of motorized accessories. Cheers!
I haven't thought about it but yeah you're right, could be useful in other applications.
The second "gear" limits speed to 50% and enable drag brake
Thanks for the info, I remember now that you mentioned it.
That's pretty cool, thank you. Does it have to be a continuous servo, or will a normal servo work? Thanks, Chris.
Only continuous servos work for this, I tried some old rtr servos and they will run the winch but as soon as you release your three position switch it returns back to where you started.
Nice how-to. I'm going to have to try this out. I've got plenty of take off servos that I could use for a winch controller. Liked and subscribed.
Thanks man! You can try your take out servos, but honestly I've only had good luck with the tower pro MG 995 continuous servos, they don't creep. 4 packs on Amazon are around $20 so that's around $5 a piece for 4 winch controllers.
I love the look of that truck good job I might have to paint one of mine just like that! Or really close to that anyways I like that vintage look👍👍👍
Thanks alot man, I really appreciate that! I've got alot on the bench I'm working on so hopefully a new video in a week or so.
@@SRCE2070 what type of paint is needed for these plastic models?? and do you sand and prime them first??
@@denniswhite1917 I used a red Scotchbrite pad on the the body to prep it, the paint used is actually primer, it is Duplicolor automotive primer in Aerosol. After 3 coats I went back over it with a white Scotchbrite pad to smooth it up but still keep the primed appearance, it's smooth and cleans easily but has the look I was going for. All black trim was done with a fine and a medium black Sharpie.
@@Overland_RC Jeep is coming next, it will be a total surprise, it is not going to be on the C14 chassis. It will have leaf springs, that's all I'm sayin for now lol
