- Here is my brought back to life with more mods B14 Max Beast! As I now call it. The 3d printed parts are all from thingiverse I just searched WPL. Tons of parts available to print. This truck may be a little overweight for this system being a Fullmetal kit and having wheel weights.

I didn't realize and it never clicked in my head to look at what rates I was In on the 3 position dual rate. So this whole run I was in the middle setting number 2. Knowing that I have to give it another run with a range test, water test and maybe another hill climb.

Thank you for another great video! My B14-KM is in the mail, I feel like a little kid waiting for Christmas ha ha.
they are fun kits to tinker with for sure. Have fun!
iam ur veiwer from india
Thanks for stopping by!
You make best rc content I have been around your channel for 2 years thank you for all your hard work!
I appreciate that! Thank you
Great electronics Bro!! Awesome mods!! I've learned a lot following you and rewatching your tutorials vids!! Yeeaah!
Awesome! Thank you!
Hell yeah! You are my guru dude.
Great work keep it up👍
Thanks glad you liked it!
Thank you my friend, great video 😎👍
Thanks for the visit
Thanks man didn't realize I could plastidip the parts. I thought that would overheat it but glad to see it works and I don't need to buy conformal coating. Don't like spending money other things if I can use what I already have. Thanks!!
same here. I already have a bunch of plastidip cans so I use what I have as well.
Top video 👍Cooles truck 💪

Hey buddy love the channel
Thanks for the visit. I appreciate all the support!
good job 🇯🇲🍻
Thanks 💯
Nice upgrades, my rc cars dont´t drink water eheheh
I'm like a 5 year old when I see water hahaha.
Well you're wrong, man, if you're not playing "submarine captain" when you run your RC car... :)
RTR has shown us the way, maaan
@@Hjerte_Verke hahaha
Thanks a lot
Most welcome
You want to use a product called. Conformal coating. It's specifically used to waterproof chips.
definitely a good option. I just have a ton of plastidip lol
Rather than plasti dip nail polish also works well way cheaper too.
definitely works I have plastidip available usually so I use that but several ways for sure.
Thanks, your videos help a lot...also how do you clean your rigs after mudding and stuff?
Some wd40 or penetrating oil on metal parts and just dry it as much as possible. If your rig is muddy or dirty rinse it off before the oiling.
Great initiative next can you show the spray of the Plexi dip would od loved it of seen it. Killer work bri
i was just tapping the board with a allen key tool that I dip in plastidip and jusy dab it on until the board is covered. So I dont actually spray it on. You can also buy the dipable plastidip can to directly dunk your components in and lets dry.
Holy man this crawler is awesome, what I would do to waterproof my trucks is use electrical tape but before I wrap everything in electrical tape I would plug in what needed to be plugged in.
so many different ways to make these perform better thats for sure.
Can you send me one of your trucks? because I have none running
I just use basic silicone glue, they will brand it differently saying it's for shoes or cars or electrics or whatever but look at the back and its all the same. Works well but requires lots to fully waterproof it but it's very idiot safe. More alike resin than anything but much safer and fool proof
hey ,i tryed hot glue and it worked better when it gets hot it doesnt leave like a sticky black stuff
Tysm
The current was pretty tough. Have you ever used the plastidip in the can? I’ve used it to coat the handle on pliers.
Yup it works as well. Just dip and dry!
electronics seem pretty decent, but i would still prefer the res v3 from wpl themselves. insane control with it too, and damn low speed
The WPL V3 would be my pick as well. This one is just good value for people that don't need all the wpl options or want a different tx.
Hi mate. I'm new to RC and looking at buying my first crawler for my 4 and 6 year olds, and I. I wasn't even looking at the B14 until I saw yours with that tray .... where did you get it? Are those wheels just the rims and V1 tyres off the WPL website? Is it raised?.... looks like leaf springs on the back. Maybe you can direct me to a video with all the mods .... I think I'm going to enjoy building, breaking, then rebuilding RCs with my kiddies. Thanks, that looks pretty cool :-)
the rear cab is 3d printed from a file I got on thingiverse. the wheels and tires are from an Mn model mn99. These are great fun to build for sure and a lot of mods can be done as well.
What mods have you done to your b14? I got one and your setup looks awesome
It is a B14KM version kit with my B16 body and 3d printed bed section and leafspring shackles.
love those wheel / tire combo, where i can wet it ?
the tires are mn model d90 kit tires and wheels are 3d printed from thingiverse.
do you think waterproofing the on-off switch would help? Anyways, I appreciate your work brother!
I have never done that to any of mine. Had some switches get stuck and rusted but I just cut the switch off and join the 2 wires and just plug and unplug the batt to turn it on and off.
A much needed rehash of your other famous waterproofing videos, but with more detail and "how-to".
Do you no longer recommend sealing the seams on the servo cases and where the servo wire enters the case?
I noticed even if I sealed the seams water still made it in sometimes. So I figured I'd try just the board and thats been working for me as well. Plus side the servo will drain whatever made it in a lot easier too. Still have rigs running on both methods.
Nice tips! No need to put plastidip in connectors and switch?
you can or you can use dielectric grease.
what about fabric tape from a first aid kit do you think it is breathable enough?
That might work! I never tried that. That could be a good alternative.
@@RunThatRC only thing that has me a little concerned is that adhesive could potentially collect fine dust and eventually clog but the holes are so fine it will likely be worth it even if you do have to replace at some point. Cloth tape is only like $1-$2 for 50 feet
Are the 3d printed parts available for purchase? Particularly the red mounts for the struts that you used to raise the vehicle? Looking to use them on the fayee fy004...
not that I am aware of. What some people do is find people in there area that own 3d printers and see if they are willing to make it for you for a fee.
If you got an ender 3 you can get a silent board and your printer will run quieter.
The camera picks it up but it's actually not bad. I was considering the silent board but when my hobby room is closed I can't hear it and if I'm playing games in there I can barley hear it.
Hi man, just bought a while bunch of new electronics for my scaler which i soent like $1000 on just for the body as its fully 3d printed and custom made by the guys at mfab and its looks amazing. I keep on doing shitty jobs at waterproofing with silcone and its just dies. So i bought even more escs and receivers with olastidip and i was wondering how rekiable its been? Im looking for something where it can be fully submerged and reliably still not die. Cheers
plastidip has been very reliable for me. just be patient and let it dry between layers and make sure to check it for full coverage. I usually do 3 layers.
@@RunThatRC cheers mate
Do you have a link to the bed? My buddy wants a bed like that for his b24.
look up wpl on thingiverse. he will find it I dont have the link unfortunately.
I have the same electronics and GB on my C24-1... works wonders on both crawling and high speed. But the steering angle is not that great
yeah it doesn't have the best steering angle but a longer steering horn can help.
oh you mean the plastic arm that connects the servo and steering links?
Where did you get that res v3 case from??
this is a AUSTARHOBBY AX7-S esc receiver combo.
The red things are 3d printed?i see that they are longer than the normal....
Yes they are 3d printed and the rear cab as well.
Is it possible to have the files?
@@savassavas7860 he says how to obtain them in the description.
What happens if battery and motor and wires get wett. I did not see or hear you do those... i want to play in water but a lil scared!
lipo and motor are going to be ok just dry everything well before you put your rc away. playing in water is risky no matter what just take your time with the waterproofing and you should be fine.
@@RunThatRC thanks for the feed back.. most def gonna dive in
Uh oh, the failure at 21:15 is not good on a video where you just waterproofed everything. Was it really the battery? Lol
That's some bad optics, man, but I'm sure everyone appreciates the transparency, heheh.
Yup fail on my part I believe. It was probably shorting causing the esc to shut down. Battery was at 4v per cell still. Re-did the waterproofing so let's see if I fixed it in the next run. Good example of how nothing is perfect specially if you don't take your time.
@@RunThatRC You're good, man. No problemo. :)
Where did you get your driver from?
It was from Banggood but Incant seem to find it there right now.
This remote works on 11.1v ??
never tried more than 2s with it .
What are those wheel
3d printed them from thingiverse. If I remember correctly they are for mn model tires.
What rims of you have ?
those are 3d printed with my printer
Is the spray version of plastidip good? I have used the normal one and it got hard after a while and I couldn't use the rest anymore.
the spray is what I use the most for that reason.
anyone tried liquid masking tape?
I have and it works as well.
For the battery how can I do
if your referring to waterproofing most lipos and lions can handle water. Just make sure its not a fancy battery with a circuit board like a g2 spektrum batt and you should be good to go.
@@RunThatRC thanks
Can you us glue sticks?
I've never tried it but heard of people doing that method. I personally think it wont hold up as well as plastidip or conformal coating. I even seen epoxy dipped.
Hay bro aapse contact ho sakta
