I am still going to test this 2 speed. Check the comments as someone has had a bad experience with this all metal 2 speed. I will test then update you guys on my experience with it.
@MyGoogle MyGoogle nice! I'm glad they considered me to do reviews for them. It is pretty fun even for a newbie like me with editing and talking on camera. Good luck to you as well!
So I'm gonna JUNK the metal 2 speed!!! I have been through 3 servos and the transmission has no reverse in low and slips in reverse in high. I think they pushed this out to fast with NO field testing or quality control.
Hope you're luckier than me with that 2 speed all metal gearbox. I bought 2 and both sounded super grindy, pumped a lot of power just to operate, and gear switching was unreliable at best. Ended up killing both servos (even though my endpoints were properly set), replaced them with some Emax servos, then one actually caught fire... Only good thing i can think of is their looks. I'm back to single speed horizontal transfer case.
Yes i did add some lithium grease right out of the box, and threadlocked case screws with blue loctite. Didn't help, issue is on the gear switching rod and associated pinion IMHO.
Nice review bro 👍 I was waiting till you get this transmission to see your review. I bought two of them and put a one in my mn90. For me high gear is bit too powerful. Thought of changing the motor with bit lower rpm. I think that extra gear in the bag is a spare penion for the motor. Looking forward to the running test video
That might be what it's for. I never even thought of it. Because it's not brass like the pinion that's already on it. I'll check the teeth count. Should have update on it soon.
my metal 2 speed still works. Most report that its not that great compared to the original wpl 2 speed and will break. I admit I haven't ran my metal 2 speed truck that much so I can't attest to its durability unfortunately.
hey David, you done a slice-n-splice to stock rims yet? its subtle but nice. saw off inner tire beads of one set, sand surfaces flat for gluing to the outside of other set. gives 3/16 to 1/4" more width, improves how tires flex/grip too.
yup, its a while watching TV kinda thing, takes about 1/2 hour to whip up a set. the saw blade for large X-acto handle is the best for that and slicing a hood to open.
found another "cheapo mod"! you get 2 steering links in the kits (servo to knuckle). cut the shafts at steep+same angle to make a new link that's long enough to reach the passenger side. CA together and file it smooth. with a small washer, servo grommet and sleeve (both ends) and a servo screw, it mounts atop the knuckle instead of slipping down onto it, so the cross bar is on top. I'll try to show it when I do video of the Jeep body on C frame, really minimal bump steer and cost about zero.
@@modelnutty6503 I do like the steering link to be up top instead of it original location. Doing that and just heating up the servo link to be a little straighter seems to work great for bump steer fix.
Nice! I've been telling Bangood about you when I talk to them about my orders. I wonder what a brushless would be like in it? Great vid. We'll just keep on Running That RC!
Hi. Really nice review. I look over your link in description, and it's out of stock. But i found another metal dual speed gearbox on Banggood, RBR/C brand. Is it any good? Perhaps you could also make a review for it😁
I heard the gear ratios aren't that good on the rbrc ones and people complain about this one as well for not being reliable. I personally use the original wpl Plastic 2 speed gearbox. They are stronger than you think.
Have you ever installed this gearbox in one of your models? I searched through your channel but didn't find a video mentioning / showing it. I would be interested how you like it and how it compares to the standard plastic 2 speed gearboxes. Cheers.
yes It was installed on my mn96 but wanted to use it for a different build. Mine seems to work fine for now but there are a lot of people complaining about the quality and functionality of there units. Mine has been good and seems to be assembled properly. It has a slightly higher high gear and a slightly lower low gear compared to the original WPL-RC 2 speed. here's a quick test: th-cam.com/video/ImAk0qnmWxQ/w-d-xo.html
This one looks like a better tranny one of the thing with the wpl 2 speed is the fact of the servo flexing when you speed change speeds and since it rides on a plastic base it flexes seems that over time it could snap now on a metal casing to me would have been better when you shift you see no flexing so more than sure less likely to jam the shifter and if there would be any issues it would be construction of the metal casing and position of metal gears causing jamming issues hopefully they can work out the bugs on these..
Yes it does need to be updated i kinda thought i would not have to hack my jjrc q65 after all of this maybe i should had bought the 1 speed lol . I have another one maybe for my mn99 which looks like i won’t need to hack it to fit its all good just having fun
It will work on the c34km. You have to get different driveshafts (shorter cvd ones). I have it installed on my c34km with metal u joint style driveshafts but recommend getting the cvd style. You can check out my c34km video I show the wpl plastic 2 speed installed and this will install the same way.
I was thinking to use the same axles by lifting the gear box upper as you saw us in video with some kind of spacers so i can have better clearness. Want to see also the performance of that gearbox
Hey bro, thank you for posting this video. It’s Great! One question: are those tires as big as the ones that come on the MN D90? Or, are they the same size as the ones that come with the WLP C24? Thank you
I'am new in rc crawler, can i ask if which is better upgrade in my mn99s, single speed gearbox or 2 speed gear box? And what is the advantage! Thank you
I use the 2 speed because it crawls well and I can shift to walk to the next crawl spot. I have very little experience with the single speed so I can't comment about it unfortunately.
@@maynardpaulaurelio2819 I run the original wpl 2 speed with plastic gears in more of my trucks and it's been reliable. I recommend that the most. No need for metal 2 speed really. And some had issues with the all metal 2 speed gearbox (it's not a wpl genuine product)
Usually yes. Softer tires form to what your going over so it kinda grabs better but not always the case. I've seen soft tire that had horrible grip when wet.
@@modelnutty6503 I agree the RTR tires or even the jjrc tires grip nice. The tires these metal wheels come with are definitely a different compound than the wpl kit tires. Soft and grippy just by feel compared to the kit wpl tires
Hi Buddy I think you are the person that may be able to help me. I have a Mn d90 which I have fully metal upgraded and I also added a 380 motor with a new esc and transmitter. When the truck is upside down it has power and speed but when on the ground it hardly has any power. Have you got any thoughts? Looking forward to your reply
@@RunThatRC I am using a 1060 60A brushed esc, 7.4v 2s 2000mah battery, 2.4gh 3 ch control and transmiter 380 brushed motor single speed. Thank u for your fast reply. Regards Will
The single speed gearbox with the 380 I have no experience with. Maybe bad motor or timed incorrectly from the factory. Check for binding and also check while steering to see if that affects anything.
David HELP! I Finally got my all metal 2 speed and it DIDN'T come with a servo and I have burnt two JX1190MG servos (these are the servos I used on my standard 2 speed) they have too much travel for this shift link set up! Any suggestions?
Yes end points open as far as possible. I am using the 7ch Hobby Porter you recently reviewed. I'm using ch7 which has NO end point adjustment as far as I can determine. I would've used ch3 but it is a temporary switching channel (have to hold down the button for gear change)
@@JDLightnin I see. Yeah the hobbyporter does only allow up to 4th channel epa adjustment. You can use the 3 position ch4 and you can limit the endpoint on that so you don't burn up servos.
Actually the whole reason that I bought the HP was to use ch4 three position switch for my sound unit, I'm actually using all 7 channels for this truck and wish it had 2 more three position switches on 5 & 6
im not sure what your question is. Do you mean the single speed setup? or purchasing gears individually? If it's the latter then I am not sure where to get replacements for this gearbox sorry.
I wish I knew the secret brotha. I just started making videos of my own RCs that I purchased and then one day banggood sent me a message asking if I would like to review for them and join the affiliate program. Thats really all i know about it unfortunately.
trying to convince myself these arent complete dog shit. parts for these seem to have no rhyme or reason with the hardware and accommodating threads. gonna go axial most likely. bummer.
this metal gearbox has a very bad design. unsuccessful product, but beautiful in appearance. switching not through the clutch, but by the teeth to teeth of the movable gear. very bad decision... the gears are very small, thin and made of bad metal, an hour or two resource. then the gear tooth breaks. I do not recommend buying this nonsense, money is thrown away. only the motor is good. a plastic gearbox is much better.
I have heard a lot of bad things about it. I haven't run mine that much yet because I got it as a replacement for my plastic 2 speed that seems to be more reliable than I thought lol.

@@jaygee2009 I will have to run this and see if mine has issues.
Good review bru ! Please test this unit and show us the issues - I hate wasting money . . .

Hi ! The little gear is for the motor shaft, if you want to change for a brushless motor instead of scraping the on already on this one 😉
Nice I was thinking that might be it!

It looks good but does it work good? I should be testing it later today and have an update up soon.
@@RunThatRC We are waiting for an update results 😺
I imagine that gear is a replacement pinion for if you use a different motor you cant use the one thats pressed on to the motor.
That is the only thing it can be. But sad it has to be a press on as well. I'll check the tooth count. That's probably what it is.
I love the original one 🥰
Another informative video, did you do a follow up video showing if it's actually any good and worth purchasing? I can't find one.

No Prob!
The exrty gear is a Pinion gear how can I make the 2 speed into brushless
You just need a 370 size brushless motor and esc with the same bolt pattern as the original motor and you can run a 9 or 10t pinion on it.
