Sure, it's cheap, but does it suck? Let's find out! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

Usually the first mods on the wpl's are metal driveshafts, full metal axles (to eliminate shearing the front plastic dogbones), and a set of the softer (medium) kit tires or super soft tires that come without wheels. After those mods, a 370 motor with either the 2 speed gearbox, of single speed metal transmission is great.
Yeah, I’ve been on a parts search.
@@10thScaleGarage I'm currently waiting for a large order of parts from Banggood for 2 that I am going to build. About the only possible mods I haven't ordered so far that I can think of would be great inches or oil filled shocks. Great thing is I don't think I have even spent $300 total to buy and build both trucks. While I would love to have a pair of SCX10's or TRX-4's here to run with my grandkids when they come to visit, on a $300 total budget I would probably be impossible.
@@old_and_slow5471 some red cat gen 7 for a bit over $250 would be a good way to go IMO
fr the littletrucks dont stay stock for long within a week my scx24 was full metal @@10thScaleGarage
Great video as always brother! Congrats on 6k subs!!
Hey thanks!!
Just ordered one myself. Look forward to upgrading and having fun!
Cool little truck seems very capable. Awesome crawl course you have there at the track
Thanks dude. It’s RC paradise
I'm in!! Grabbing one today
Thanks for the info
New subscriber love your options 🥰
Not bad looking 1/16 10th scale.sure looks cold where you are brother.stay warm and have great holiday
Yeah. I’m already sick of winter.
I love ours. We have the blue kit truck as well. It came with softer tires. We did have to put controller and esc with it. But both trucks are awesome We abuse the crap out of them.
I just posted a video of the course I just built for our trucks.
Thanks for the video. I look at these trucks as a platform. Something that you can modify.
This might fit the bill!
I have this WPL C24-1 and I also have an MN99s. Cheap but capable! They work great and fun on my little backyard crawler course when I don’t feel like leaving the house.
Exactly!!
I got it RTR and I am enthusiast for the responsiveness, the progression of throttle and steering and for the torque.
I am having fun!
That’s what it’s all about!
I have one. Looking for upgrades but i love it. Especially the cheap factor and proportionate throttle and steering.
Did you check the WPL website? There’s tons of upgrades for it.
*Here is my WPL story*
On December 24 2020 I ordered my first C24 Metal Kit version truck for $85 from WPL dot com.
And 2 days ago I finally got it in the mail and when I opened it up I found out they sent me the wrong truck.
So I emailed them and told them I ordered the C24KM red truck kit and you sent me the C14KM red truck kit instead
and I asked if they could send me the C24 red truck body, or a refund?
And later that same day they replied back to me and said: “So sorry for that”
“Sure. I can offer full refund or send you the correct C24KM Red and you get to keep the C14KM Red.”
So told them Yes, send me the correct order C24KM red truck.
So now I got two trucks for the price of one. lol!
Woah. Bonus!
Hey man. I have a wpl c 24 and it's a blast. They are super capable with some simple mods. First one would be metal driveshafts bc the plastic ones easily break after a while ($9). Seccond would be berrings.($10). And third would be a upgraded motor. Personally I have the 260 size motor ($7) and it's plenty for that truck. My wpl, I got for $40 ( I highly reccomend this besides purchasing everything else) a full metal kit. It came with metal axles, new hears and keyed shafts. Ful metal steering links, metal ouput shafts and metal driveshafts and full berrings all around. I recommend just to get the full metal kit besides buying the berrings and driveshafts because it just gets rid of all of the issues and you have better steering angle and it looks so much nicer and really makes the truck look like it's $200 bucks meanwhile I only have $90 into mine($110 if you count the new servo I have and speed controller)
I think you’re right.
I think the WPL C24 is one of the best mini crawlers considering the value for money. So I love my C24! 😘
the price is way cheaper here in Malaysia, only 33US dollars for RTR and 25US dollars for the KIT. it's very popular here since it's affordable and the upgrades are also dirt cheap. Im looking to buy one myself. btw awesome video👍😁
That’s awesome!!
Thanks for the kind words.
What do you think is causing the screeching sound as you're driving along? Can you suggest anything that I can change/remedy to make it stop? Thanks bro!
I installed fayee fy003 tires/rims on mine, theyre waaay softer and wider makes for excellent traction
Oh dang. Why didn’t I think of that! Genius idea!
yup, so much more traction with the fayee wheels. downside is that they're really big and you get rubbing.
you can try to soak the original wheels in wd40 for a day or two, makes them much more grippy. not recommended for indoors cause they stink after that treatment :)
Well I definitely wouldn’t call it a Crawler but it’s a decent trailing truck for $60 👍🏼 nice share brother
Thanks dude.
Oh but they are beast crawlers. Thats all stock so
The body might be 50 bucks tho so honestly not that bad
I can tell you that the center drive gear is plastic and will strip if you run into an obstacle and it gets stuck too many times. I had one go the first day it was used trying to crawl over a 2" tall rock. The gear is just pressed onto a knurled area in the center of the shaft and that's it, no grub screw. They are decent trucks, no doubt! They do need to be upgraded though, or just buy the C24-1 - KM version from WPL if tinkering isn't your thing. I have 2 that I'm upgrading at the moment and another C24-1 - KM that I'm about to build.
Yea ive been lookin at this lil wpl for a while.. then i discovered the scx24s and figured they'd be a better starter into mini crawling..but it looks pretty good. Whats the shipping like from bangood to the US?
I waited ~ 2 weeks.
First mod is soft tires and wheel weight. To do this you must buy a set of Fayee. FY04 time with tires from bangggod. . Once you get the wheels use solder around the inner wheel give two rounds and secure with tape . Cut some soft foam and insert the tire. Blue the tire to the rim.
That seems like a lot of effort...
Thanks for sharing. I just got this one myself
Nice! Do you love it? Are you going to modify it?
@@10thScaleGarage It is something fun. I took your advice starting looking for Vids about upgrades. Will see what I find. Thanks again, I am glad I saw your video of it.
@@bigtrev71 there are a bunch of upgrades on the WPL website. Wpl-rc.com
@@10thScaleGarage Thanks, you guys are awesome.
Not a bad little trail truck👍👍
Right?! I dig it.
I also have a B14 WPL that I love. First thing though, it needs a better motor and battery.
They're is a HUGE aftermarket for them.
I ordered mine a month ago and is still awaiting shipment from China. Hope to see it by the end of the year.
Oh jeez! I’d be emailing someone
Awesome 👍
funny you say thinking about crawling, I just picked up the MN99 for like 55 bucks for my first crawler!!!! Hope I can find enough dirt piles to play in.... This WPL c24 did an awesome job for a 1 16th!!!!! this one looks epic as well for 45 bucks!!! whaaaaaat
That’s what I’m saying. I couldn’t say no.
The little Isuzu that could! Haha
The looks are good and you do a little better upgrade into it and will be awesome
I agree. Motor and drive shafts. I think that’s first.
I'd like to see how much of a difference soft tires & upgraded shocks would make
Me too.
Any links to some? And maybe a way to make it a better gearing I’m looking at getting one
That looks cool
Thanks!
cool little crawler
Yeah. I dig it.
Awesome
Should i buy the rtr or the kit? I would like to get one but dont know which to get.
RTR if you just want to go trailing, kit if you want to customize immediately.
Might get one
I like it!
Hello from southeast alaska how's your day going bro
Where do i get accessories for this truck. Mine will be delivered within 2 day. And would like to buy a winch
Check out the WPL website. I’m not sure of a winch for a truck this small.
NICE C24‼︎👍
Thanks
Once you add the soft kit tyre they become ridiculously capable for the price.
I know. I need some.
Hi. I was looking for softer tires, but cannot find them on aliexpress or banggood or, better, they don't tell if the tires they sell are softer than the stock ones.
I know the wpl's site has them, but for sure they are expensive
at one point I saw this for only 42 bucks! BTW somethings up with the link. I think I might get this for my first crawler
Try copy and paste. Let me know if you have issues.
Sorry a bit late but how fast dose it go? I am ew and I have just got into the hobby
Not fast. Jogging pase?
Blue kit with metal axles and metal ring and pinion $34.00. (Plus $9.00 for 30A esc)
Nice! Need to get that!
How will you rate this compared to the RGT Adventurer v2?
The RGT is 24th scale, so it’s wayyyy smaller and really meant for indoor use. The WPL is 16th scale and performs great outside. It can hang with some 10th scale crawlers.
I've seen some Bajesus one's
Me too.
No flex on the suspension. Even after upgrades and moding. Its still to stiff after putting good oil shocks on it. The shock placement on it makes it difficult to get it to flex. But it would be a good trail truck. If you can eliminate that bouncing. Yeah? Needs weight, yeah?
It’s leaf springs in the rear, and you can put whatever suspension/ wheel weights you want on it.
@@10thScaleGarage of course you can put what you want. But the upgrades put the front suspension up close to the wheels and takes away all steering.
It sounds like you’re using the wrong suspension.
@@10thScaleGarage apologize brotha. I like to mod and upgrade to the gills. Just a few dead ends in making it better.
Have you looked at the WPL website? You can get tons of upgrades for it. You can make it all metal if you wanted to.
Also theres a huge aftermarket for these now
I see that.
Recommend to upgrade suspension and put more weight on it.
Absolutely
Cool crawler but your link to buy it doesn't work
just copy and paste, it works
Let me know if you still have issues.
Not bad for the price, but I love my SCX24s!
So do I.
You probably fixed this but the music was very loud couldn’t hear you when you tried to talk through music section
I upgraded the motor on mine. Runs about 7mph now.
Nice!
👍
Really want one but my dad won't let me get it and you can find he same thing but lower prices
Best of luck buddy.
Why thank you
Should I buy it
Depends. Do you like it? Can you afford it? If so, I say go for it. Buy what makes you happy. Don’t listen to me. I’m a moron. Haha.
Its not bad at all but i should of did the metal upgrade
Hey Ethan how's it been!
I've been good!
Epic
Thanks dude.
is the steering proportional?
Yup. Everything is proportional.
how this compare to a scx 24 ?
Way bigger. This has a hard body as opposed to lexan. Transmitter isn’t as nice as an axial. Both have a ton of aftermarket support. SCX24 is really meant for indoor crawling, and this is capable of crawling outdoors.
They have upgrades on bangood usa
Sure do!
Better tires number 1
IF this is worth $65, and it looks like it is, the racent I got instead is worth $35 at most instead of $85.
Suspension upgrade and lift kit lol
Bigger motor and gear box. And do something with suspensions
Good idea.
Is it waterproof??
I’d say splash proof. She’s gone through plenty of puddles, but nothing crazy.
@@10thScaleGarage ok because im probley going to buy it mabye
Hey man just a little pro-tip you got to work on your voice over audio the music's not bad but it's way too loud compared to how you're talkin
I’m definitely not an expert
I'm not sure what scale that truck is, and it is kind of expensive, but I saw some track "snow tires" on amazon for 1/10 scale RC Crawlers (lists TRX series, not sure if that matters). Might be cool to see some day.
amazon.com/dp/B083NWCS63/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_WSD3FbPR44K2E
16th scale
Maybe put heavier wheels with better tires and it will climb
Totally.
Its wpl c-24-1, not old c-24, they have changes in mechanics, electronics and even body.
Sorry. That’s what my invoice said.
@@10thScaleGarage no problem, just say) c24 be without proporcional steering and moving and have plastic in axles, also have 130 class motor. c24-1 have 240 class motor, full proporcional and metal in axles)
Add a little weight to the front of that you’ll Climb a lot better
I’ve got some! Just need to install it.
@@10thScaleGarage 👍
@@10thScaleGarage i just bought a hobby plus cr-18 harvest awsome little crawler
2s ni-cad?
I think it was a lithium ion in this video.
You paid 60 ?? Try Chinese online shops, 33 euro. Im loving mine :)
60 US dollars is appropriately 50 euros. Add the additional shipping and it’s pretty dang close. Also, this came from Bang Good..... a Chinese online shop.
C24-1 is the upgrade of the cheaper C24.
C24-1 is fully proportional.
Banggood sells the RTR C24-1 plus an extra Lion 1300 mah battery, plus shipping insurance, tax insurance.
Far better offer than other sites
Front end weight.
Yeah maybe.
Quite a bit of quotables in this vid. Lol
Put it on a t-shirt.
it is not 16 scale, it is 14 scale .
I guess the website where I bought it, the box, my invoice, and the CPL website are all wrong. You might want to let them know they don’t know what scale their truck is.
@@10thScaleGarage Considering that this is a Chinese product, it is better to check it yourself)) I found the real dimensions of Toyota Hilux (length, width and wheelbase) and divided them into the corresponding model dimensions
and got 14 scale))
So it’s bigger than they advertise. How often does that happen, especially from a Chinese brand. Usually they over sell the dimensions..... apparently they want people to think this is smaller than it actually is.... strange.
Content good - MUSIC??? not so much!!
Comment good PROFILE PICTIRE??? not so much!!
Welp guess youtubers get different products than the public. I ordered two upgraded versions for my son and I. I received both of them with plastic chassis and click steering. Fuck this shit. Last ten items I’ve ordered from youtubers turn out like shit. Fuck me
Check the model number? Also, the link I have is the exact link I used to buy it......
29k subs and wants $3 a month..ok
I have one, total poo poo.Good for a 5year old maybe.
Better than I expected for $60
Wish it was 1/24th scale.
Check out the Element Enduro 24. It’s about the closest I’ve found.
Cut the crap music
