WLTOYS 10428 K949 Electronics Upgrade | Test Run
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
- Our WLTOYS 10428 (K949) has been great...but fried a servo. And when that happens you can either buy a new factory servo for way too much $$$...or just go all-in on a replacement setup.
We fortunately had a tx/rx for it and an ESC we didn't need anymore...so after buying a $38 high-powered servo from ZOSKAY (www.amazon.com...) we were READY!
Overall, this was not too hard of a swap. Fairly straightforward.
Note that I didn't even deal with the high/low gear servo - we just locked it into high gear where we normally use it.
Also, there really isn't a good receiver box location, so we just put the receiver in a balloon and hot-glued it to the top of the servo. Works great!

Awesome video and upgrade, also the crawling track looks super cool 😊 one of my favorite wltoys car
Thanks 👍 I keep working on the crawler course. Great time for it with quarantining!
@@RoadsideRC That's true, you have a whole playground in the backyard 😊
@@RoadsideRC hi
I have 10428 & 12428, which I am looking to upgrade. The 12428 appears it will be more challenging due to it size (Being small) more modifications required.
Why didn't you simply remove the Gear Servo?
Agree on the 12428 based on the size.
I was concerned that the transmission would get bumped into neutral.
I have 10428 here in Indonesia. I think it is a great little truck but.....the electronics are not very good. I like the programable transmitter however I already burned out the esc. It might have been the larger battery I used (mAh only). The new esc got home made larger heat sink and no more problems for now. I did twist the drive shaft at the rear end, the replacement was filled with baking soda and super glue, so far it is holding up well. The radio range is not very good and at times the speed control especially is not smooth. I am thinking to upgrade the electronics, but here in Indonesia getting right parts is difficult. These 5 wire servos are a pain, I would like to retain the 2 speed gear box control as I find that feature awesome. It almost makes this buggy 2 in 1 car. I am new to this rc thing so thanks for sharing your project.
You are welcome!
Yes, getting nicer controller would still allow you to keep the 2-speed option.
Fortunately, the servo and ESC can be rather standard parts like I used.
Good luck finding the parts.
This cars electronics are junk. For anyone thinking of buying one you will spend as much again on replacing all the electronics, broken drive shafts, diffs and prop shafts. Other than that it’s a fun rc
That is correct!
Q if i do all this upgrades, would i need a different remote control? Please let me know , i live ur set up n i just purchase my 10428 n would like sut it up like urs....
Yes. You would need a different controller and receiver
Nice upgrade man. They are great little rigs👊👍💯
Thanks 👍. Agree - this has been a fun truck for us!
How did you make it so low
The front suspension is stock, the rear has cheap Amazon shocks on it.
@@RoadsideRC ok thanks
you know what I like is how when you break the trucks you rebuild them and its priceless for your children to watch and learn engineering skills too great work mate
*🎭🔍supporting with a full view🔎🎭✅ we gave a thumbs up👍🇦🇺👍😉 😊*
Well said! That is part of the goal with this hobby. Perhaps they don't pick everything up, but at least they get part of it! At least the mentality to fix something when it is broken instead of throwing it away!
So is this a single speed now as no servo for the 2 speed gearbox?
Correct - I just locked the gerabox into high gear.
Hi,nice video man,I rebuild my 10428 too,but I have problem with horn on steering servo ( old plastic is gone to hell and I want aluminium) but every horns I bought dont fit :-( please help me and recommend some.
I am sorry, I don't have a good recommendation. I used the stock horn.
And after change for metal gear servo, this stock horn has good condition? I worried about use plastic to metal...and I didnt find any topics about this problem...thank you for you info
I have had no issue with the stock horn.
Have a link where I can get that lil ball that’s on he servo horn
You are looking for a "ball stud".
I can't remember which diameter that ball is, however there are some rather common sizes.
Example is this one from Redcat: amzn.to/3riwZjZ
Here is a 5.5mm from Tekno: amzn.to/3cxAMG5
And a 4.8mm from HPI: amzn.to/3jbpKrt
One of those should work for you.
Just got my servo and it’s not a true fit.. How did you installed the new servo?? Different bracket??
Hmm. I am sorry, but no. Mine just bolted in.
Did you get a servo that was a standard 1/10 size?
I got this one.. www.ebay.com/itm/174245440182
your car is 1/12 or 1/10? Just realized mine is 12427 no 12428.. Mine is 1/12
Mine is the 1/10
Got same car been wanting better tires lil bigger
These are Proline TSL Super swamped tires.
I just wanna know the tires you got lol
These are Proline TSL Super swamped tires.
Great vid Troy! I have been planning on doing the same with my 12428 which is the slightly smaller version on the one you have. I'm just waiting on some extra funds to get an esc(looking at the hobbywing 1060 for $25 on Amazon) for it since I already have a spare servo and receiver to go in it. These wltoys rc's definitely are a great bang for the cost of them especially since there's replacement and upgrade parts available for almost all of their models.
That is true! Good value here.
That 1060 Hobbywing should work great.
I would like to go brushless on my wltoys 10428
Can you make a recommendation
Basically any standard 540 size brushless system should work. Something in the 3300kv range should be good.
Unless you go sensored, it won't do very well at slow driving anymore. It would be more of a basher.
Good show how video. Seemed pretty straight forward, and I liked your water proofing techniques. I am assuming that is why you used the balloon. Also I really liked those wheels on the rig too.
Thanks!
Yes, the balloon works surprisingly well for waterproofing a receiver. I fold it over a few times and zip tie around it. I use the same method on my Wraith, and have had that vehicle completely submerged!
What battery are you using?
Still running a standard 2S lipo. It barely fits in back there.
Does it have a brussles motor too?
No, I left it brushed to help with more a crawling setup
What tires have you got fitted there? What outside diameter and width are they they're obviously bigger than stock? Do they rub at all??
Cheers
The tires are the Super Swamper XL. 1.9".
No issues with rubbing or anything. But just BARELY. It is very close to rubbing.
I just ordered a motor and esc upgrade. However which reciever did you use and will an upgraded reciever work on the stock transmitter.?
I used an old Traxxas transmitter and receiver.
You must get a transmitter and receiver combo, nothing will pair with the factory equipment except direct replacements.
Note - the choice I made was also to eliminate the hi/lo gearing.
Waterproof! It will be helpful for me! Thanks for the sharing, the nice video, my frie d! +1 Likeeeee :)
Thanks for watching!
I hope you are staying safe with COVID-19!
Still using stock motor?
Yes!
I recently blew the esc.. Just ordered a servo (same) and order some parts.. Didn’t understood about the fishing line to set up the servo.. Please explain
Two things to get the servo setup right.
1) before putting on the servo horn, make sure the car is powered on, and your steering trim is centered. This makes sure your steering is close to centered.
2) Once all is assembled, set the servo end points. This is sometimes called dual-rate. This is the setting on the controller that limits how much the servo moves. Without this, you may ask the servo to move too far, and damage it.
Thank you much!
Nice one what’s your thoughts on this company I know they make other cars buggy styles
Certainly a cheaper brand, no question. This is the only truck I have owned of theirs. It has been a fun vehicle while we have owned it. If you have the budget though, your more known brands might be worth it.
Might be worth a mention that you do not need to replace the ESC or transmitter.
I know the original brushed ESC was an ESC/Rx combo but they do an stand alone RX to match the stock transmitter (yes, you can bind to it).
The Rx is called A929-124.
It might help if servos need replacing in the future as the A929-124 uses standard 3 pin.
YES! Great callout!
I didn't know that actually existed. Thank you for sharing that.
@@RoadsideRC No problem.
I was doing research into a brushless conversation a few weeks ago and spotted it - doesn't seem to be a well known item.
There's even a few videos on here if the binding procedure.
Nicer
Thanks
Now that’s a improvement 👍. Nice upgrades and video.
Thanks 👍
Sweet crawling course! What tires & shocks are you using?
Thank you!
The shocks are cheapo Amazon shocks on the rear that were the same length as stock. The fronts are still the stock shocks.
The tires are Pro-Line TSL Super Swampers on RC4WD Dick Cepek wheels.
Hope that helps!
NC MOUNTAINS 🏞backyard RC👍👍
Thank you!
Nice fix . I'm still waiting for something to burn out or break to upgrade my 10428a. Lol
Great! Glad to hear it.
We have had the front driveshafts, and the gears in the trans go before this upgrade.
Lol I'm still waiting for anything on my WLToys L969 not to break because I can't go out 3 times without something failing...
Very nice upgrade video. Looks to work really good!
It does! Thanks for watching!
I just received my WLToys 10428, looking forward as I've had the 12428. This should open some possibilities.
Glad to hear it.
Tire and shock upgrade also foes a lot for this truck!
@@RoadsideRC which upgrade shocks do you use?
@@artistman75 I can't remember the exact ones. They were a set from Amazon that were the correct length. That is all.
There is another video on the vehicle where I give the link.
Nice upgrade, looks to drive a lot better 👍✌🔥
Sure does! Thanks!
Another great bench video Troy.
Thank you!
Hi, just saw your video. Did you change the motor to make it Waterproof? Or just use the stock motor?
The stock brushed motor is waterproof.
I do plan to change the motor also at a future time.
@@RoadsideRC oh really? It means to make it waterproof, the minimum requirement is change the ESC and Servo only? Just a newbie here... 😁
ESC, servo, and receiver must all be waterproof.
There are ways to waterproof the stock parts. Either by putting them in a box (ESC and receiver) or by using a coating such as conformal coating.
Brushed motors are almost always waterproof.
@@RoadsideRC many thanks for the info, replacing receiver+ESC will need new transmitter, isn't it? Maybe I'll try to put in a box. How about change the servo, will it impact the transmitter?
Cool upgrade and nice video
Thank you!
So i can't bind my stock controller to any receiver?
Typically no.
Traxxas controller - traxxas receiver
Axial - axial
Futaba - futaba
Etc
@@RoadsideRC thanks a lot. I will need a flysky controller then.
@@NoSirAnder19 I do like those. The GT3C is really nice.
Good upgrade!
Thanks!
Nice little setup 👍
It sure is. I hope it works for awhile in this rig!
