I’ve let you all down. The B36 had no driver… I sincerely apologise and demand you all go back up there and hit the like button as a (peaceful )protest against driverless Scale RC Trucks 😂
thats what i like about wpl, their stuff is good enough out of the box to have some fun, but cheap and easy enough to work on to modify how you want them.
I know this video is a bit old and I really doubt that Tomley will see this ... however, seeing this video convinced me to buy my first "big rig" and at 52 years old and very late to the RC game. soldering small wires is tricky. "flipping" the front axle - if you have to do that again in the future, please give us a few seconds of video on how that is done. thanks. Also, thank you for creating this channel and focusing on the more budget friendly end of the RC hobby.
Saw this truck on AlliExpress, immediately searched YT and was thrilled to see you had a video. Now I've gone and ordered the truck, 2 speed gearbox and upgraded motor, and, after watching, metal driveshafts hah. Hoping 2 1:24 crawlers will fit and look good on it. I'm also planning on painting it. Thanks!
@TomleyRC arrived today. DOA. Lights come on and wheels turn but motor doesn't engage at all and ramps only move halfway. Rear bumper broken in two places. After troubleshooting the esc, turning doesn't respond anymore either. I got unlucky. Hoping the company will send a replacement. Until they do, I'm holding you accountable 🤣
Detail is amazing great shelf models definitely found it's home in the mud watching those back wheels articulate over those mini ditches was cool always great content Phil
Great video as always Phil! I always look forward to your videos which usually results in me spending money lol. My transporter came last week and I didn't even run it before I swapped in the 2 speed transmission (with metal gears), and I was quite pleased to see the plug for the shiftier servo and the other unused ports on the esc. I'm going to test but I am hoping for more lights and sound. I have the metal axles, wheel weights, soft tires and a speaker on the way from WPL. One surprising thing to me was how light the tractor was, not much heavier than the empty trailer.
I'd consider this on the fine line of "ready to run". Probably be way better to get a kit version of this. I would consider the electronics a "trial run". Maybe the box should say. "Trial run your kit with these free electronics!"
You could go hog wild on that thing with the customization. To be really "remote loading" you could come up with some grippers on the wheels of the cargo vehicle to hold it in place. Pretty cool foundation for the money though.....
Glad to see a thorough review of this! I saw the drop and intentionally waited to see your review Phil before buying one to do just what you did-haul other mini crawlers!
You did something amazing with that Model. 6x6 Trucks are very cool. I saw that a new model Chevy K15 came out. Paired with this truck it gives me Snowrunner vibes.
It's a great looking model. I like the changes you made and then paint job. I think if the trailer sat up just little higher it would make big difference with out sacrificing the scale a appearance. I have seen videos of r/c events where drivers bring their beautiful Tamiya semis and their other work vehicles. I think this would fit right in. You did a great review.
Drive shaft popping apart? Thin walled silicone tube sorts that issue. Shame they don't consult you first for 'the spec'. Yours is soooooo much more capable. Great job Phil !
I know it's smaller scale, but with the upgrades inc the metal drive parts, and some weathering - tweaking of the looks and some general tinkering, for little over £100 you'll get something pretty darn good performance & looks, at fraction of the price of the RTR Redcat Chevrolet Hauler and the Traxxas one.
I love my wpl.. but wish they would just do the 2 speed and metal axles right off, in the rtr. I think most would be willing to go ahead and pay the extra.
Man this channel gets better and better. WPL will always hold a soft spot in my heart. Nice review. Cool music and lay overs. Fun recovery at the end. Just ned the driver haha! Awesome stuff.
I hope they'll start selling the trailer and fifth wheel setup separately :P It is a nice addon, but having to buy a truck, with the RTR axles and all is just wasted money IF you already have a WPL 6x6 truck.
Hello, if you use the selectable switch on the side of the RES-V3 remote to control the ramps on the trailer, what controls a winch? Doesn't the selectable switch on the RES-V3 on the side of the remote, control the winch function? Is there a work around to fix this?
As always a fair honest review. Though i think you are slipping.... No driver in the cab.... 😜 That 2 speed upgrade really makes this thing, i must admit i do think a jjrc q60 cab on the front would also make this killer. Nice function with the droppable ramps. Interesting that all new stuff coming out of china has the new 4plug jst lead and no balance plug, i believe there has been a law change, and unless its lipo it can't have 2 pin plus balance lead any more...
I’m wondering if some reviewers are running it without fully charging the battery. I haven’t had any power issues with mine and ive been using it to haul my heavy huina excavator with no issues at all
Yeah totally agree with everything you sed about the b36-3 but they are great fun 😊 And being 2 speed ready is awesome and totally transform's them I'm just waiting on the metal drive shafts then i can give it a beating but several weeks of popping the plastic one is getting old now 🤣
question: would metal driveshafts not make the torque on the motor much worse, i know my own b36 is pretty heavy (it has several "spy upgrades" including a working gps system and a door that opens electrically, plus benches and operators) and mine has a tendency to "eat gears" plastic, brass or China-steel, any flavor last only a few weeks i use the wpl 2 speed gearbox and the "china steel" driveshafts. i will buy a B36-3 of aliexpress next year, and get it ready for shows and displays.
Fantastic review and paint job, Phil! 😃 I absolutely agree, it definitely needs a bigger motor and some metal parts! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Awesome always love what you do for the wpl rc's they look cool and they do have potential. I wished they made the same styles just with better guts. We would pay more not Traxxas more.
I wish they’d do something different than a URAL body. Maybe the studebaker/reo deuce and a half or the more modern American general deuce and a half vs the Russian deuce and a half. But they’re still cool!
Please please please, Review the new WPL CX002-C Unimog 2WD... It is Beyond words... Beautiful! Pinecone has the same Unimog out with different colors as SG 1613.
I could get into these small scale wpl toys cars and trucks but the fact the break or parts pop off strait out of the box on first use kills it for me. It would be a model to throw on a shelf which greatly reduces the coolness factor for me!
I find it odd that accross the pond from america smaller rc seems to be prefered, or is it just me. I dont mind WPL and others, but i find them more toy grade than 1/10th scale. They dont climb very well. I dont know. China stuff is cheap. It a more toys for your buck? Parts are harder to come by as well. Not picking just saying.
I’ve let you all down. The B36 had no driver… I sincerely apologise and demand you all go back up there and hit the like button as a (peaceful )protest against driverless Scale RC Trucks 😂
Done
I will send you a driver 😉
It's the future, driverless vehicles 😁
My faith is shattered
I was going to make a Snowrunner comment, and I still might. But there's drivers in that game....

Video Production and Editing on this video was a massive improvement. This is your best video yet. Thanks for everything you do for this hobby.
Anybody else get the Snow tires vibe? Great video man😊

Awesome, glad it helped you decide :)
2 x 1/24 should be good

Phil going to town painting... and the Bob Ross clip... dude you made me smile like hell. Aweso.e
I love watching the suspension on so many axles!
Love it!! Shame it didn't at least come with a powerful enough motor from stock
Lovely build the land rover coming to the rescue was priceless 😂
Hi, great video...just a question . What do you mean with flipping the fron axle too when the 2 gear box is installed? Thks for your reply in advance
Fantastic weathering! Would the trailer fit two 1/18 crawlers??
I have the previous b36😉
This one with trailer is awesome 👌
Very nice paint and weathring 🤩
Best painting montage ever!! And whoever filmed you spray painting did a bang up job and needs a raise for helping out! 😉👌
Nice job on the paint and nice hauler by WPL! Love the old school looks.
Detail is amazing great shelf models definitely found it's home in the mud watching those back wheels articulate over those mini ditches was cool always great content Phil

What an amazing product. This is the technology that I love.
I'd consider this on the fine line of "ready to run". Probably be way better to get a kit version of this. I would consider the electronics a "trial run". Maybe the box should say. "Trial run your kit with these free electronics!"
Next project in sight :). Thanks mate!
You could go hog wild on that thing with the customization. To be really "remote loading" you could come up with some grippers on the wheels of the cargo vehicle to hold it in place.
Pretty cool foundation for the money though.....
Glad to see a thorough review of this!
I saw the drop and intentionally waited to see your review Phil before buying one to do just what you did-haul other mini crawlers!
superb timing,was just looking for a new model to mess with. This might just be the one Thanks for the upload 👍🍺🇬🇧
You did something amazing with that Model. 6x6 Trucks are very cool. I saw that a new model Chevy K15 came out. Paired with this truck it gives me Snowrunner vibes.
Love this I didn’t realise I missed this seeing you building and modifying Rc’s
You should have put a driver in it, makes all the difference to the scale look. Awesome hop up, thanks.
It's a great looking model. I like the changes you made and then paint job. I think if the trailer sat up just little higher it would make big difference with out sacrificing the scale a appearance. I have seen videos of r/c events where drivers bring their beautiful Tamiya semis and their other work vehicles. I think this would fit right in. You did a great review.
If you really want to go scale crazy you could mount a servo to the fifth wheel and make it like a real truck: have it raise and lower on a pivot arm.
Awesome run footage! Good size for TRX4M size cargo
Another great video.. No AP in the cab though. Missed a trick there but keep up the great work King Phil
Drive shaft popping apart? Thin walled silicone tube sorts that issue.
Shame they don't consult you first for 'the spec'. Yours is soooooo much more capable. Great job Phil !
Or heatshrink tubing.
Great job. The trailer looks awesome after you weathered it.
Great Review and very entertaining run! As always very much appreciate you, thank you.
Just as im thinking about getting a C24-1, I wonder how much weight can little 180 handle, I wanna add some metal, but the lower the better I think
I know it's smaller scale, but with the upgrades inc the metal drive parts, and some weathering - tweaking of the looks and some general tinkering, for little over £100 you'll get something pretty darn good performance & looks, at fraction of the price of the RTR Redcat Chevrolet Hauler and the Traxxas one.
Yeah it needs more than 100 pounds to make it anywhere close to good it's 89 stock and good motor and gearbox for 11pounds is near impossible to get
What is that Defender model?
Where do you get the upgraded motor and transmission for the WPL B36-3?
I love my wpl.. but wish they would just do the 2 speed and metal axles right off, in the rtr. I think most would be willing to go ahead and pay the extra.
Man this channel gets better and better. WPL will always hold a soft spot in my heart. Nice review. Cool music and lay overs. Fun recovery at the end. Just ned the driver haha! Awesome stuff.
Thank you. Appreciate the support… oh, and I’m sorry I let you down with lack of driver lol 😝
I hope they'll start selling the trailer and fifth wheel setup separately :P It is a nice addon, but having to buy a truck, with the RTR axles and all is just wasted money IF you already have a WPL 6x6 truck.
Update with metal driveshafts?
Great video Phil.., love what you have done to it.
Hello, if you use the selectable switch on the side of the RES-V3 remote to control the ramps on the trailer, what controls a winch? Doesn't the selectable switch on the RES-V3 on the side of the remote, control the winch function? Is there a work around to fix this?
Great video! Very comprehensive information. Great music too hahaa
Definitely looks way better after the TomleyRc touch. Great Video Phil ❤😎
Does the stock ESC have a drag brake?
Great video. May have to grab one of these!
Damn man that weatherd paint job looks amazing 🤩🤩
As always a fair honest review.
Though i think you are slipping.... No driver in the cab.... 😜
That 2 speed upgrade really makes this thing, i must admit i do think a jjrc q60 cab on the front would also make this killer.

Sweet yota truck!
Tracta! Luv it! Cheers mate!
HOORAY!! Mostly for the trailer. 😆
Yeah totally agree with everything you sed about the b36-3 but they are great fun 😊
And being 2 speed ready is awesome and totally transform's them
I'm just waiting on the metal drive shafts then i can give it a beating but several weeks of popping the plastic one is getting old now 🤣
Where do you get the metal drives from? WPL?
question: would metal driveshafts not make the torque on the motor much worse, i know my own b36 is pretty heavy (it has several "spy upgrades" including a working gps system and a door that opens electrically, plus benches and operators) and mine has a tendency to "eat gears" plastic, brass or China-steel, any flavor last only a few weeks i use the wpl 2 speed gearbox and the "china steel" driveshafts.
i will buy a B36-3 of aliexpress next year, and get it ready for shows and displays.
That's a cool looking truck. Shame it's a tad down on power, hopefully WPL will listen to you.
Can you do a durability video on the wpl c24-1 cause I'm getting it on the 31st of October and I wanna know it's limits
Hi mate , can you tell me where you got the twin 370 motor gearbox from for this B36?
How much was the two speed transmission with all metal gears?
Interesting MN88 variation.
I’ve never heard of a shelf having a driver anyway !!! 🧐
Fantastic review and paint job, Phil! 😃
I absolutely agree, it definitely needs a bigger motor and some metal parts!
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Absolutely cant remember that stage in Mud-Runner. Is that new DLC?
Great excuse to get the the dremel out😂
Awesome always love what you do for the wpl rc's they look cool and they do have potential. I wished they made the same styles just with better guts. We would pay more not Traxxas more.
I agree. I sold all of my wpls...I got tired of fixing them. I can just hand my kid a axial rig and not worry about them breaking it.
I wish they’d do something different than a URAL body. Maybe the studebaker/reo deuce and a half or the more modern American general deuce and a half vs the Russian deuce and a half. But they’re still cool!
Make it a double cab
And street truck would look cool
And scale 40 foot container trailer
Oh for goodness sakes , Phil I’ve just watched this video and now I’ve ordered one and the uprated gearbox
Will a Henglong tank fit on there. Maybe not the king tiger, but the Panzer?
Are you going to do the MN111 at all???
There are no mistakes, just happy accidents. "Bob Ross"
Please please please, Review the new WPL CX002-C Unimog 2WD... It is Beyond words... Beautiful! Pinecone has the same Unimog out with different colors as SG 1613.
Snowrunner! 👍
Take it to the skate park!
Does it fit for excavator?
Now the 1/6 version with 20Sssssss
Ghost Driver Phil?
Oooh a new wpl! Not too sure how i feel about em
Great video…Cool bmx 👌
Its Christmas everyday....😁🤙🏼
What about some electrical tape on the driveshaft?
Disappointing out of the box but massive improvement both visually and in performance with your mods.. noice!
Best video yet
Do a review of the MN128 im sure it wont disappoint you
Really enjoyed the vid mate. 👌🏻👍🏻
Nice army style thing i dont know what there called
I'm having some issues with the driveshafts can you please help
Needs an adjustable height for trailer, that said I want 1
Paint along with tomley
Kmart excellent go to work my friend
Million dollar question, will my heng long tank fit on this?
It will be to heavy for this truck 😅
Convery the trailer to be one of those giant generators and put a 5000mah (or bigger) battery in it. Run the truck for the whole day.
Enjoyed this 🤠 👍
Pretty cool 😎
I heard kev is going to do a durability test for a hilux he got
pretty cool 😎 👌 👍
Those driver Phil?
😅
Brilliant
I dig it!
I could get into these small scale wpl toys cars and trucks but the fact the break or parts pop off strait out of the box on first use kills it for me. It would be a model to throw on a shelf which greatly reduces the coolness factor for me!
