I ordered mine, i have this crazy idea of building the ultimate scale truck so i'm going to swap the frame and everything out for a Team Associated 1/12 Tioga.
WPL stuff seems to fit and I know they have a ton of metal upgrades for this scale but I have not tried them so don’t hold me to it, but I’m 99% sure most WPL stuff will work
Loved the video. It would be great to see your updates to this rig if you got around to it. Ive heard that it lacks torque down low, so I'm assuming you will swap the motor when you install the Hobby Wing 1080 you showed at the end?
I did end up swapping the ESC but I kept the stock motor and it helped with the low end torque but it still never had a ton of really slow control for crawling, I didn’t make a video on it and have since removed that ESC and kinda ditched the truck for other projects. It’s hard to customize rigs like this because of the lack of aftermarket support but over all it’s a fun rig to play with
Thanks for this overview! I just ordered one. Can you remove the door handles, mirrors and glass? I want to remove the shell and repaint it fairly immediately to green and then get some oil shocks.
I am pretty sure you can remove all those parts but I have not tried and no longer have this rig in my collection to check, but I think it’s possible 👍🏻
Yes and No lol I gutted the electronics and installed some better ones but it didn’t make the rig much more capable or fun to drive and on camera it didn’t look like the handling or capability changed at all so I never made a video out of it. It had potential to be pretty cool but the size of the hubs and limited scale parts made the project more costly than I thought so I bailed on it
@@UpperLeftRC I was just picturing some sketchy painted numbering, a missing door here, cracked windows there, maybe take off the bumpers or just let it happen naturally. Endless. In 1/1 these things have become scarce because it used to be way cheaper to put a little money into one of these for a trail rig than a sxs and the tough man racing leaves them beat but they keep comin back for more. If these would fit on the same little tracks we’re building for the smashers/fcx24 builds, for $100 and an Amazon brushless system, these could be great fun!
Hey where do you buy upgraded parts ? Ive had one of these for a while and its great but its falling to bits...needs some upgrades....also id like some Soft Fat wheels for it!
I am not aware of a simple spot that has MN upgrades listed out etc. Banggood is probably your best option for upgrades but their site is not very user friendly
I tried to swap the tires too for my wplc24 and mn78, but the tire from wplc24 was hard to put and remove from mn78, and almost imposible to remove so didn't continue. Do you have the same issue for that?
It’s more like water resistant, if you get the electronics wet they will still work but with enough exposure to water eventually they may corrode and break
@@UpperLeftRCso you're telling me that the motor is like water resistant? I like to put my rc's on mud/water but i am not sure if i put this mn78 on water because it might break
Swapping those two sets of wheels and tires made both of those RC look 100X better
Agreed!
I've been eyeing one of these for awhile to scale it out. I enjoyed that!
It would look good scaled out 👍🏻
I love the Xj Jeep Cherokee
Next time could show a little more about the undercarriage please, axles and links and such. Thanks

That sounds like it will be an awesome build! 🤘🏼🤙🏻
The only thing that I considera worth the upgrade are the differentials, motor with more torque and bigger tires
Cool truck and the review🥰👏
I'm gonna have to pick one up and build it to look like the xj I had. I miss that jeep.
It’s pretty fun to run 🤘🏼😄
I still need to pick one of those up. They look knice and I have tons of upgrade parts already from my WPLs and MN model that I could use
It’s has a lot of potential to be a great looking scale trail rig, with the upgrades you have it would probably be awesome 👍🏻
That's a nice looking rig... I love Cherokees but I prefer the even older ones...
Yeah I like the older cherokees too but anything is better than the new ones they’ve been making for the last couple years lol
@@UpperLeftRC True Dat!
It's good car for the price but I would like to upgrade tires and maybe shocks but I have no idea what brands would fit.

Is there a site that has all the [arts you can upgrade on the MN78? Its all so dam confusing tbh
That actually looks pretty good. how much was it.
Thanks for this overview! I just ordered one. Can you remove the door handles, mirrors and glass? I want to remove the shell and repaint it fairly immediately to green and then get some oil shocks.
I am pretty sure you can remove all those parts but I have not tried and no longer have this rig in my collection to check, but I think it’s possible 👍🏻
Did you ever upgrade this rig? I'm trying to find your video but don't see it!
Yes and No lol I gutted the electronics and installed some better ones but it didn’t make the rig much more capable or fun to drive and on camera it didn’t look like the handling or capability changed at all so I never made a video out of it.

I guess I should have waited until the end to comment I wouldn't have to ask how much. Lol
What size tires came off the truck, I wanna swap the tires off my jeep as well
I am not sure what size they are, I used some stock WPL wheels from the WPL Toyota pickup
Did you extend the ride height for the wheels to fit?
No the wheels fit the stock height really well
@@UpperLeftRCwhat size does it have?
They’d be fun if you had some buddies and do some tough man racing. Pretty cool.
Yeah! Racing a couple of these and beating them up would be a lot of fun lol 😂

@@UpperLeftRC Thanks mate - I keep looking at wheels but am unsure if they will fit!
Is it possible to remove the roof rack??
Yes, it’s only held in with 4 little screws
Где купить колеса?

No I did not run into that issue, when I was swapping mine they swapped easy 🤷🏻♂️
Awesome Dustin! I picked one up for $80 from a seller on ebay. I wanna see that jeep scaled out hard bro.
Heck yeah! 🤘🏼😎
Is it actually waterproof?
It’s more like water resistant, if you get the electronics wet they will still work but with enough exposure to water eventually they may corrode and break

What size tires does anyone know
I think just search spare tires of wpl you can see what siza does the tires have
MN-JNK
Info youte tire sir
The tires on the truck in this video are the stock wheels and tires that come stock on the RTR WPL C24-1 Toyota pickup
