I love how you thought about safety and the realism with the driver, the old Defender doesn't have air bags, so fit a driver with built in ones 😂😂
True!! Lmao
🤣🤣🤣Love the silicone action! 🍻👌very scale! 😂😂😂 Thanks for sharing Phil! 👍
Love your videos by the way! It's because of you and Tolbert that I got my first rc a couple weeks ago. BUT as a viewer (and being very much a perfectionist) i would like to drop a suggestion in the suggestion box. I know your shop is still a work in progress and it also isn't my shop and/or my money... but in your new studio it seems like the room is darker than the entire shop used to be. This crawler is a dark color which doesn't help but I can't help but notice your awesome facial features have been darkened as well. Your brightly lite shop was great for bringing out crazy colors on rc bodies and super fine details in your work! I'm just another bystander that loves the honest and real content you put out there. But if it were me (and it's not) I'd try out some LED pod lighting or even thin LED drop ceiling lights installed above your work bench and other places in the room. Ether way it's cool to watch the progress along side your awesome hobby! keep the videos coming!
Kevin Talbot is who I ment to spell out 😆
Lovely comment ❤
I did not know you could ESCs that cheap. Good to know for future projects. 👍
I bought the driver. Once I saw it was blurred I knew it had to be good.
Nice new drone shots, Phil. They add a nice perspective & if not overused, they can supplement a vid up to goose-bump status.
I like the rig you did in this but I don't solder, I can only SAW-DER (hehehe)
Nice upgrade 👍. I'll bet quite a few cheap crawlers would benefit in this way. Regards lack of soldering iron, 2amp terminal strip would do. Cheap from Wilcos. But, a 30 watt iron (with stand) is available from there too for £12 and a small roll of solder for £3. It's a great idea to teach youngsters to solder and it's a lifelong skill once they have it 👍😉
Yeah, those new WPL 15A esc's are great Phil, I fitted one into my C-14 in place of the cheap 20/30A Chinese esc that I had and the difference is night and day, as regards the low speed modulation. Well worth spending a tenner on.
Wow, you would think that the higher amperage esc would be better
@@gabrielpichardo1492 The cheaper $5 esc's were alright,but the new WPL esc is far superior in modulation and having a drag brake is a godsend.
@@semperatis that’s great to hear ! Those cheap ones actually have a drag brake, well some of them do but you have to switch a jumper around on the ones that do
Has anyone here ever had one of them tokin/ rcg / shuangfeng 1:12 crawlers? Its very basic with a terrible controller , want to upgrade it
Nice work! From a bit of a dunger to not bad!
Great production on this one. Great music. Thank you!
Awesome video great advice love it.
I'm saving this video in my watch later list, I got a JY66 from Banggood that would really need these upgrades. But that's after I build my C44KM, upgrade my B14 and then the C24. I think I got enough stuff to tinker with over the winter 😄
Great video... Love the watch
You exactly hit the point. Most of the times, and in every sector, Chinese manufacturers have a single target: lower the price. At any cost. Even when they have a decent product, they get crazy about lowering the price until it becomes crap. You're right, if they cared just a little more about the product...
Awesome upgrades,it made a world of differnce in the performance!..With the addition of the driver,you have twice the bounce now!
you should do one with the MN98
Almost 100k subs ! Woot Woooot !
that is very realistic and objective informative from you Tomley. Thanks a lot for all RC car admirers. (Especially the bouncer driver lol)
Can this be done in a mn 82 lc79 land Cruiser new model?? I want to upgrade it for a more torque and slow crawling, until now this is the only video that makes a mod different from the 370 engine upgrade, thanks for your videos
LOL, I never imagined that I would ever see an [Adults Only] RC video!!!
I amazed it doesn't keep falling over being so top heavy !!!. Is that Naomi Wu driving.🤣
Just wanted to say that I was caught out with a motor wire while out a few weeks ago and managed to resolder it using a match. Maybe it depends on the solder but it's not game over if you don't have an iron
I accidentally discovered there's a difference in the solder. This very thin solder that came with a soldering station requires 50 more degrees to melt than some random solder I had laying around. There's definitely a difference. Seems like you had a happy coincidence.
@@aljensen7779 ah, interesting.
Always worth a try if you've got a lighter anyway
Given the melting point for most solder is something like 450C (as an upper bound, many melt far lower) and the burning temp of a lit match is like 500-600C (a butane lighter is even hotter at like 2000C) there is a very strong case for giving that a try should things be dire and you need to do a thing like that. This also brings up the "ancient soldering" method where you just find a big chunk of metal and heat that crap in a fire or blowtorch... now you have an iron (bonus points if you're using an actual chunk of iron).
It's so important to have a realistic scale driver figure.
Lmao, you saw it too
Next MOD, ditch those solid rear mud guards and fit a little flexible rubber, maybe bicycle inner tube.
10 dollar... " My ass !! " 😢🎉😂
Even if you needed all the components it seems like it would be worth it for the improvements.
I did something similar with my mn96. Awesome looking truck, horrible motor and electronics. Put a WPL two speed in there, along with an isdt esc70, the same kind of JX servo you used, and a turboracing radio/receiver. Those servos are really nice with the right voltage.
Completely changed the truck, from pretty much garbage (good looking garbage, but garbage non the less). I have a couple more esc70, and one will be replacing a res v3 in my c24 (the res v3 has cool functions, but crap bec).
Blazing saddles! Lucky you cut off when you did 😳
Can you please do the same For mn78 and show the results?
Mn78 has beautiful body and scale look but esc seems to be the worst part of it. So i would love to see how it will work with upgraded esc.
I want to order one just for the looks of it and install new esc and i want to know if it will even work as i hoped
Hello, there is a way to get your forward lights to go on forward, red on reverse by the way 👌. I use this method on my RC's. You wire head light with light bar to motor leads making sure they go on forward, and for the reverse red you wired them the opposite from forward and it works 👌. Try it 🤔
another easy cheap is the MN 260 gearbox, swap in a 280 motor for more torque.
it'll allow some extra wheel weight to keep the rig upright
Good upgrade . I don't understand how its financially beneficial or feasible to engineer a whole new control board for each and every vehicle , when a standard set up would suit most , until LiPo and Brushless specs are needed .
it would be great to see a company like WLtoys use standard receivers for example , so they could sell some BND versions . Saves everyone money .
Probably cheaper to build their own recievers. plus, they make money when you buy a new receiver or ESC.
Sorry, I'm late Phil. Your crawler videos are some of my favorite videos of yours. I learned a lot about crawling from your channel. Thanks, bro.
Well just ordered 2 bouncing beauties hahahahahaha
Fantastic mod, Phil! 😃
It seems like a fantastic esc indeed!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Tomly can you review the tamiya race truck please
Best mod is the driver mod, literally 😂😂😂 (7:13)
Hi Phil I love the body on this truck so this is a GREAT idea sir. Thanks for sharing 🇬🇧✌🏼
Great video as usual but I noticed a couple camera shots that look to be taken with a drone.
Drones are as much fun if not more fun than the rc cars! I love them both.
This is perfect for what I’m after, something to tinker with, possible re spray to add more detail and modify. Thanks.
Nice sir...
More bounce to the ounce 😆 Great video
Great mod works well …driver has some nice pixels 😉
Good job 👍 I put a similar esc and receiver in a Hornby OO gauge locomotive for my little one to control around a track. Also going to have a go at putting some hobby grade electronics like this in a few toy grade RC’s for the little one
nice touch with the drone footage. great job bro. keep up the good hard work! thanks
Hello
Great video, so going to do this with my mn99 😁👍
0814 here in Arkansas USA!!!Think that would be a good upgrade for my b24? I put in a 370 single speed with gear reduction last night I liked the added power and torque but I'm not impressed with the v2 electronics that came in it. I'm gonna order one and haveago with it I've already got a dumbo so I'll just order another reciever and this esc and give it a go! Thanks Tomley! Excellent vid, as always!!!!
Hoho! If it runs on the WPL's 2 speed gearbox with 370, that low gear ratio makes it even finer 😁😁
2 to burn hahahaha!
This Upgraded Fayee would be cool to compare to the TRX4m....after the upgrades they are close in price....so it would be a stock TRX4m vs Upgraded Fayee, interesting to see which is a better value and overall crawler and which has more upgradability (that Fayee looks like it can use WPL C-parts.
Really nice and helpful info here!!! Thanks Phil s lot!!!!!👍😱🤩
A what was there under huge pixels 6:55 ?))🤭🤫 (Ok, got it 😂)
Hi there! Amazing job, so amazing that I tried to replicate but I’m stuck in a problem that the car cannot steer while I accelerate if I hit the gas and steer the car stops and steers but cannot be simultaneously seems that cannot handle two Chanel’s at one time? Have you encountered this issue?
Big difference
I see you added airbags
I have a 1/24 crawler that supposedly runs on 1s (I think it’s called “rgt adventurer v2”) but maybe I should consider switching to this esc instead
as for the figure it probably doesn’t fit :p
I've switched all my micro crawlers electronics to power shift controllers. They can handle 2s with lights and all.
What would be the best budget crawler to buy at the moment?
I just got the DEERC version of the MN99S which is basically this truck, based on your reviews. It looks great, but tumbles way easier than a stock C24-1 and can't even push it's own weight up a hill. Once it hits a high angle and has to dig, the lights start blinking and the battery cuts out like it's too much amps for the stock electronics. It drives fine on flat ground or rocky terrain, but that's about it. Did I get a lemon or is it really that weak out of the box?
I didn't know that you used to be an Aircraft Engineer. Thats awesome man! That explains your expertise in upgrading your rc cars. I have a similar 1:12 scale crawler like yours 😄
Aircraft electrician in the military.
Slightly off topic could you recommend a good model grade 1,10th drift car kit and brushless system my son who has autism wants to build his own drift car and learn drifting any Information much appreciated 😀
Hi do you have a review of this crawler, it looks very nice, how is the quality of it?
that twisting the wires comment was the realest advice that i use all the time, works like a charm and i run my shit through water
@tomleyRc I have the MN86 S. It has the same issue as the RC featured in the video, so wanted to ask if I brought that ESC from WPL would it fix the problem?
I have a spare dumborc controller. I have been looking for a quick cheap upgraded for the MN86 S.
Don't suppose anyone had a shuangfeng/ tokin rc 1:12 crawler? Got it from RC geeks , feels like a tough car but the control system is crap , although the 4wd is dual motor, anyone know if it can be upgraded?
Because of your video, I just ordered a Fayee FY003-1 for £58.75. Obviously, I am very new to these RC toys. I have 2 questions:
Any recommendations on essential upgrade parts (I try to keep my spending as minimal as possible)? If so, can you give me a link as well, please?
There are thousands of spare parts and upgrades for these RC. Which ones are suitable for Fayee FY003-1?
Cheers
By upgrading the ESC, are you still able to use the same transmitter and receiver, or do those parts need to be changed out as well?
They're sold out at the moment I order a cheap0 30a with brake off of amazon well a 2 pack but I gotta try something this stock esc just volts out when you try to go slow over obstacles in the b24 with 370 single speed with gear reduction box and dual wheels on the rear
Absolutely killer. I thought the same and have an FCX24 ESC waiting to go in my EazyRC Bronx to see if I can get similar results. Not as cheap, $20 US. I might have to quit my job and play with RC cars 😜 to get all these projects done!
Hey how did that go I’m doing the exact same thing with the Bronx any advice ?
@@Ivan-od7bp 😂 I haven’t gotten around to it! Maybe I should do a video, a ton of people got a Bronx from Fair RC’s last mystery box deal.
@@QuinnsRC hahah it wouldn’t be a bad idea I’m a newbie not sure what to do I have all new electronics injora mb100 with the injora receiver just not sure how to go about it lol
Wow, what an improvement.
People knock WPL but they put out some awesome products, and have awesome customer support !
That 2s esc is really good
good upgrade for that crawler yes if the manufacture put the right stuff in Thay would sell more I don't think people mind pay more
I am late to the party on this video. This is a very good project for a lot of people of have purchased cheap crawlers.
A pin and clip tutorial would be helpful.
My Dog hates this video.! 😂 😂
That noise is winding him right up.!!!
you separate from ur day job, peter billingsley comes out of retirement, coincidence? i dont think so
Love the uwu driver lol
Now do I buy 1 or 2 drivers?... 😅
What do you say I should start with an MN99S or this FY003-5A ?
Can we just replace this piece? Or should the remote control etc. be changed in parts for the solution
I don’t dislike you or the video but I had to click on the dislike link in the description to see what you attached and I was not let down 😂😂😂
If i change my circuit board how i can reconnect my remote control with the new one (stock transmiter
Bought the same Jx from flea market with like 2€ brand new😂
The real first.
Had ya beat! 😜
@@rcwreck-creation I hoped nobody noticed my fraud 😄👍🏻
🤣👍
Looks like this esc & rc are made for each other, have 3 of these rc z but crawl like crap on og electronics.
Is this RC car model better than RC MN99s?
I guess I’m a cowboy to cause I’ve twisted the connections on the wiring in my house
appreciated to explaining every detail, thnak you
If you're going to twist and tape wires be sure to do each wire separately. Lol
You can then wrap both together after to secure things further.
What was the song at the end though? I thought it was super relaxing.
cool rc and great mods
Would this be a good esc for an scx24?
The little driver 😂 damn that’s funny
Mmm says not available. The FY003-1 we got a few weeks ago is terrible out of the box, no throttle control and servo is pants!
Just watched your video it's brilliant alsome video Phil and great info 👍👏
why not just buy a better rc car to start with ?
That's a bouncy ride. LMAO
All that noise could be nearly gone if you add some ESR capacitor on the motor and a conductor, I've done it on the WPL D12. This will reduce the electric noise and therefore the actual noise, but you may already know that.
Can i do that on a, mn 78 cheroke?
My fav dumborc receiver also has light integration with it. I’ve got one on my trx4 and the lights are amazing on it! Otherwise love everything you’ve mentioned there!
Is that waterproof?
Much better 👍🏻👍🏻
great video that one, really enjoyed it. Tempted by this upgrade on my WPL-C24
