- You are very professional with your RC Channel, I appreciate that ! -And, you're well organized too ! 😉 I try to stay up on my (org.) & project layout.
- I like the colors that you used for the Axial SCX10 II (F-100) !! 😲 👍 -Beautiful, and paint scheme is very well done ! It seems you care about the details like I do. Like, having the original tail-light positioning-seemed important for you, as well ! Nice work Mr. "AMPRO !!"

You should have tried drifting it mate. That is what it is and they are a beast to drift. That is also why they have the two steering and throttle settings. The sky is the limit to what you can do with these D12 Suzuki Trucks. I have two and one I am getting a set of drift tyers and have put drift skirts around it. The other I am turning into an all-wheel drive. It rained today so I got them out on the wet cement and had a blast.
Damn I really should have. I only ever used the stock tires and wheels for this episode, having made my own wheels for some 1.0" RC4WD tires. Now they have way too much grip for that to work.
I drove mine for the first time the other day and I have to say that I am happy with my purchase for sure. I also built the C44 kit and am also happy with that. They have been releasing some great bang for the buck kits lately. WPL on the rise I think.
They certainly have
DRIFT, DRIFT,DRIFT! Some custom 3D printed drift wheels! Thanks for sharing. Look forward to see how you paint the interior up.
Haha! I will need to try that!
You don't want to put it down because it's so realistic and we all love these practical little vehicles.
That's the truth!
I can't WAIT till I can afford to get one!! Like you, I'm enthralled by the Scale aspect, knowing that it's basically UN-capable. It just plain looks like FUN!! 😊 Isn't that what it's all about?
Carmine ✈🚂🚙
You'll love it Carmine,it really is a fun little truck to play around with.
Exactly!
Did you ever get one?!!
It's probably going into reverse because it sees you hit neutral before you hit reverse when you do it slowly. When you do it quickly it goes straight to reverse so it realizes you're trying to hit the brakes. I would imagine if you very quickly go to just a little bit of reverse the brakes will apply.
It thought the same but I did this at least 50 times. Either way, its not a deal breaker. It is still well done.
This reminds me of a RC tank from how you said you just like driving it. with tanks they look so realistic they just are fun to drive and look at moving around when driving. Probably why you like this little truck.
That is a great correlation! I have a tank too and it is just as much fun.
for fun... drop in a fast 280 motor replacing the stock 260, then put shrink wrap on the rear tires, shrink, trim, etc... yes these DO drift pretty good without need of a gyro.
if you want a rear diff, use a JJRC axle, it'll fit but is a couple mm wider.
I already ordered one!!! Cant wait.
it was a very honest of reviewing the different between detail and rugged design of the D12 truck, and I love your detail and relistic rc collection, well done!
Sure thing! Glad you liked it!
i am actually looking to buy a couple of these as well , it would be fun to do a weathered finish on it with maybe some small decals such as bumper stickers or even a delivery service logo on the doors or security outfit logo with small spray painted stencil numbers in the corner of the bed to mark the unit number , a rotating beacon light on the roof , if you can figure out some better rims and tires be sure to let me know , you could always just 3d print some ninja flex tires on better rims , i do love the stock scale appearance of the steel rims , very nice rig , as you can tell i already have a ton of ideas so greatly looking forward to playing with them ,
I've seen on thingiverse some folks make hexes to use tamiya M-chassis sized rims which might be pretty cool there is also a body kit on thingiverse to make it looke more street racerish.
Really tempted to grab one of these though I kinda wish someone made a 1/10 suzuki mighty boy...
Weathering would be great for sure. I was thinking about printed tires but may go for the 1/18 RC4wd tires.
@@AMPROEngineering Hmm i haven't seen those , i will need to check them out
Great episode!
I find those very cute!
Rumors say there will soon be a 4x4 version of this.
Oh i bet! I want the van version!
All WPLs now are fully proportional and D12 comes with 260 motor. Shaft is first thing to change a
Other than that those little fellas are great for drift. Also front suspension is fully adjustable. Check out wpl official Facebook group and D12 official group on FB. We are there ...great video again. Thanks for sharing. 4pin connector is for lights. Officially is not used yet but unofficially 2 outer pins give you full power headlights and 2 inner pins are dim light.
I was amazed to hear this. A great move!
Oh really! Hell yes! Ill try and get that working!
So you could move pin and have full lights?
I wanted one a few months ago when I first saw announcements of it, as I really love kei trucks (and vans, hopefully wpl makes a van version in the future). At the time it wasn’t available yet and I couldn’t really justify spending the money, so I thought I’d wait for some reviews to appear on TH-cam. Pretty much every review I watched was so enthusiastic about it, I pulled the trigger yesterday and bought one myself :D The set is pretty cheap for what you get and the upgrades don’t look too expensive either, hopefully you can make a video on the car in the future about which upgrades are recommended or maybe even crucial.
Indeed I will.
You all prolly dont care but does any of you know of a way to get back into an instagram account?
I stupidly forgot the account password. I would love any help you can give me
@Luka Maxim Instablaster ;)
@Curtis Emmett Thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and im in the hacking process atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Curtis Emmett It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my account :D
Hi there, it’s just really quirky, that’s why it’s hard not to drive, i love driving my one, i got the silver version and I’m going to re spray it, but I can’t think of a groovy colour. Nice video man. Looking forward to seeing what you are going to do with it. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧🚚
Sure thing! I wanna start soon!
Hi, very enjoyable video, love your smaller, customized WPL's, awesome to incorporate them, thank you!
Thank you! I really do love them!
that lunchbox is soo dope! great review!
Thanks! Any time!
Great vid once again. I er...just bought one. I dunno, from what I've seen online WPL started out with a questionable reputation/and product line but seem to be listening and turning it around. I think they bear keeping an eye on. Could end up as quite a decent company and product line the way they are going.
Yes things really have changed for the better at WPL. They went from...eh...to WOW in a very short time.
These suspensions are better than what comes on most modern cars.
LOL yeah it really is well done.
Well..mine arrived to the UK in 6 days from bang good.Incredible,I expected at least 2 weeks.Its good fun.Got suzuki badges on it,and a Fred from scooby doo in the drivers seat.Theres not a lot paint on it,so I primed it red and top coated a tamiya white.Bit of rubbing to bring the rust look through.Itd going to tip over a lot,do may as well make it look used.
Regards
Usn
I meant Ian
I bet that looks great!
This truck is set up more for drifting,just add electrical tape on the rear wheels and have at it. I absolutely love my one,you can even squeeze in 700mAh or 900mAh 2s lipos into that compartment,that's as large as you can go unless you mod the compartment.
I think I would like to mod that .
Man, I just watched your video for the first time. I like your way. Subscribed. Have a nice day, good sir.
thank you so much!
The body fits a B24 chassis well with minor modifications. Mine had a tilting cab and batteries in the fuel tanks 🤓
I have seen that. It looks awesome!
Loved mine so much bought a second to put into my old c14 with old d motor steering lol
Same here. I adore mine
Very cool little truck - I think I have to order one and see I I can make a drift truck out of it :-) All the best, Toby
Now I love that idea
Steering crazy good and fast on D12
I know!
Cool that they made it in 1/1 scale ;-)
LOL!
This would be nice to have while I wait to get my timed driving for my license
LOL! For sure!
Looks like a neat, cheap, IFS chassis!
Indeed!
Seems like everyone is getting these and now i want one
I know, i am amazed how popular they are.
I’ve been keeping an eye on this since it came out. I was hoping they would release a kit version. But I want one.
I think they will at some point. I also rather the kit.
dude the spear tyre actually turns as the open close lock feature ..........lol i love how u just force it :-)))))))))
Mine doesn't turn. The lock feature is molded in place on the back of the flap. Maybe yours is an older/never version?
wish they will make the van next! that will be so cool!!
ME TOO!
Looking forward to follow-up videos on this one!
Editing it now!
On the website is says it has the steering angle for drifting, ahhhh I want it so much!!!
LOL, yeah it seems like it sure can!
Cool vid. The dodge van turned out awesome👍👍. Cute little truck. I like the suspension looks cool. I might need to get one hmm.
Thanks! I have a lot more work to do still.
@@AMPROEngineering rc vehicles are pips. Project in progress stages
Thank you for your video...now i can decide if i should get one. Pity there is no differential that is the only flaw.
It not as bad as you would think. I too was upset at first about that but the lack of diff prevents it from getting stuck a lot of the time.
Wpl have really got better, I want this ,but having fun with c 24👊🏻👍🏻
For sure!
Indoors that lower throttle rate is the difference between always crashing and being able to drive it.
Very true!
Analyzing the PCB closely, I saw that the unknown port you saw in it has "LED" written right at it's side. Considering it's a four terminal port, I think that maybe it's a connection for other LED's in the car, like the tail lights!! (right out of the box, that would be nice!!!).
Mine haven't arrived yet, so it would be really interesting if you could measure it's voltage and determine if we can really connect more LED's in there. Thanks!!
For sure! I was able to pull power from 2 leads but I could not get signal from the others. I have asked WPL but it seems it may be for a light kit that is not out yet.
@@AMPROEngineering
Ohhh, really interesting!!
Just a crazy theory, but maybe the other 2 leads just work when steering, for turn signals.
Thank you very much : )
I bought one today. Hoping it can be geared down and has hexes preferably 7mm.
I think the hex's are 5 or 5.5?
@@AMPROEngineering looked into it and it looks like they’re 5mm but I found 5 to 7mm adapters so I’ll be able to use my 1.0 or 1.2 wheels. Thanks! Is the gearing adjustable in it or is it set so you can’t move the motor?
should get the body kit as well
It is wild for sure!
cool video! i have 2 one silver and one like yours. it's supposed to be a drift truck =) cant wait to see what youll do to it!
Thanks!
The plug on the front is labelled in Chinese or Japanese dont shoot me for not knowing which but a translator says it's for lights maybe brakes indicators but I have not tried them I was just curious as u were And I removed my esc combo and could not remember which plug was which. And translated the makings on the board
Yeah I should have tried that but even probing the board didnt show much one the other circuits.
nice suzuki carry!
looks fun to play!!
It really is.
@@AMPROEngineering can't wait to play it !
That’s a bargain for under $50…. I bought one! Gonna slowly upgrade it
It is one of my all time favorite cars.
I am buoyed to see “RWD” on the box. You guys that call RWD “two wheel drive” drive me crazy! :P
11:30 Some weight in the back will reduce the bounce and improve the steering response, per another video that I watched on TH-cam
Sadly there really isnt much room for weight in the rear. The rear leaves are way too soft and it seems that it will easily bottom out.
@@AMPROEngineering That explains the leaf spring mod in my crystal ball.
Probably been said but the brake thing is ideal for drifting like ebrake
Oh for sure
Do you have any plans for front end upgrades? Mine's pretty sweet but the socket arrangement they use to hold the arms to the hubs is pretty pants, wears out in half a heartbeat, and then the lower arms just drop off if you grimace at it.
Good question. I am looking into it as I have a few applications for the chassis.
Hey there live you van 4x4! I think that plug you were referring to is for sound kit. I think
Oh really? I need to check that out! thanks!
@@AMPROEngineering Hi, champ, I think it is for powering the esc, to use lipo balance wire?
They are so cool! I've been watching lots of videos waiting for mine to show up. May i ask where you got the metal rear end for it, thanks.
Oh sure, the WPL website. There is a link in the description of episode. I also talk about the installation.
My cousin has the Subaru real truck it is crazy small in person. I think he uses it to plow his property.
HAHA! My friend has one too. They are amazing.
do you know which seller you ordered from, and how long did it take to ship to you?
I got it from the WPL website. took a week.
@@AMPROEngineering excellent, I'll try their website then. Thank you
Love the video! Great info on the WPL. You seem so knowledgeable about RCs and my somehow my WPL D12 lost its range, it can only go 5-8 ft until is disconnects. Would you know what would cause the issue? It happened after i remove the top body shell like you and put it all back together.
Thank you, yes I have been in this hobby a while, ahaha! I think your antenna is damaged. It may have been partially or fully pulled out of the PCB. This would make the range a few feet.
Thank you so much for the reply! I’m gonna try resoldering it!
I’m fine having not proportionate steering but the only thing that annoys me is trying to drive in a straight line for a while
Yeah, thats when you have the problem.
do u know how to remove the buzzing sound?
No that is the sound of the gearbox.
Where have of old Toyco Diesel, toikoh or toiko production models 1987-89? I want
I would say check ebay.
@@AMPROEngineering not data there, i looking.
Alibaba too, but amazon have the clone of designer toyco with name: isuzu mini truck.
Never let the battery stay connected to the charger when not charging. It will drain it. (Aimed at newbies)
Absolutely.
WLP in chinese called 顽皮龙
❤💛💙
Naughty Dragon I believe?
I got an idea for one of these if you’ve ever seen the little red wagon wheelie truck I want to make one out of this type of car like 3D print a 540 motor mount different trans and try to make it wheelie
HAHA! That is a killer idea
good for drifting because it has locked diffs
Yes but it has rubber tires and low power.
Adults have the coolest toys....
The truth
Will the receiver work with a FlySKy?
No, you need its own brand.
Thats a must have.. I like it!
Me too
'
saw a real electric mini-truck with 4 doors on the parking lot in altadena 91001 a last month ago
Oh wow thats neat!
I am buying one
Good call
is the steering proportional?
o nevermind
I would say not high end fully proportional...maybe closer to 30 steps left and right. Still, its pretty darn good for the price and what it is.
Wow, I thought you're channel were dead 😂
LOL! Oh no, just busy with the real hobby.
@@AMPROEngineering Nice 1:1 collection by the way 👍
I like the way the pinto looks... But somehow no one has one for sale in Germany 😂😂
Sounds like Jim Halpert
He sounds like an angel .
i think it is white tbh.
i dont see the beige tbf lol
Oh I have other white cars...this is not white. It is alike dingy old undershirt. I think the color is awful
Is it licensed, never mind
Um....not sure.
Wow
I hear that!
👈very good👍👍👍
Thank you!
Hey ampro could u make me sum king Blackfoot parts
I will look at the truck eventually.
What you never tried is drifting it.
With these tires and the bricks/concrete at my house, its impossible to drift it. Its going to need a very smooth surface and ideally, plastic tires.
Kei is pronounced key
Thanks for the info!
Mine is silver,I won it....
The silver one is nice too.
Love that thig
Me too!
I saw review that this person said they couldn’t ever get the truck to go straight
Mine has no problems like that. I just set the trim on the radio.
It that true
Not that I have seen
