- Here is one of the most recent releases from WPL, and it is a neat one.
Myself however can not leave my tiny trucks stock, I therefore went and stripped the chassis down to then build upon it.
One of the main things I changed was the transmission as the WPL 2 Speed is by far my favourite transmission in their lineup, not to mention the second gear will allow this little SJ to have a sufficient top end for trail runs.

Another part of the chassis which was changed was the axle set, the included factory plastic axles were replaced with the WPL metal axle kit for improved steering angle as well as added weight down low.

While installing the new axles, I also installed the WPL Shock Absorbers to aid the leaf springs and dampen the suspension. These were mounted to the axles using the WPL Brass Ball Ends.

Upon installing the axles I mounted up an anti-wrap bar using the 59mm WPL links and Rod Ends to lessen the stress on the leaf springs.

I wanted to go for a more modified look and therefore looked at replacing the bulky factory bumper. In place of the factory example went this High Clearance Front Bumper which was originally designed for the C54, all it needed to be bolted up was a little bracket.

After all of the chassis work, I dressed this little SJ up with various Tamiya paints as well as some wooden planking.
And there it is, a very neat little truck, packed with tons of scale detail for a great price.

That drive shaft hack, superb! Definitely changed the rc from the garbage wpl released to something worth owning! Awesome video
Nice mods, some of them I have also in mind. 👍
A hint maybe, for light buckets: I'm using a Molotov Liquid Chrome pen. It is almost like a real chrome finish.
SBG decal. Classic. I use to follow tiny trucks in the woods with Kevin Jowett way back in the day of crawl Canada. Fun. We also raced scale drag cars. Drift and race in my basement track. 😁
WoW!!! Awesome mods and Cool Upgrades that transform a cool RC Jimny in a Awesome 😮❤😮 RC!
Congrats my Friend 💪🏻🏆👌🏻
Amazing video and scale built!
Really like what you did with the interior!
Fantastic custom job!
Fantastic, this is the first of many i hope to see of this truck! Mind is still in the box. Seems like everyone wanted the week before Christmas off and the week after. I'll open it one day, it might be next year!
Beauty🔥 thanks for the video 👍🏻👍🏻
stunning!
Lovely video!
A good job!
Very good mods and upgrades 💪😉
I think to do some similar.
I'm waiting to recieve the material to start the work👌
You have a new RC addict subscribed your channel ✅️ 😀
Unfortunately I‘m not so good in custom upgrades. But at least I can learn from your optical mods. I know there is a WPL upgrade kit available. Nice video, many thanks 🙏
Massive !
with the c24 style shocks, stab the the shaft through some bicycle innertube then superglue it in place, then cut the innertube material until its just wider than the screw head, then add some 2millionCST diff syrup into the shock and it becomes awesome. i have them on a MN99 and they are the best shocks i have ever used, they can absorb a drop from 2ft with no bounce.
edit. my mn99 is a franken truck and i can swap the body and wheels to turn it into a c24 monster truck :D
Wow this is awesome, also very usefull as you show what you do and how very detailed, thanks for that, the firs video i see in this way, Do you think you can do something like this with the new mn82 lc79 rc please? Im waiting mine for christmas, im new in modifications and i dont want to mess it up ill really apreciete a video like this with the parts that you use. Nice videos +1 subscriber

What is called that you inserted 1:57 for the brass ball end. Thanks. Nice vid bro!
It is called a Axle Truss,
They are mostly used to strengthen the main axle housing as well as provide additional mounting points for links or shocks.

What are those axles?
They are part of an upgrade kit WPL offer, all metal construction with a much improved steering angle and smoother running.

Wow all this work for not being able to see what you have done.
he's screaming for bigger tires
Better off buying a kit
Indeed, especially if planning to modify from the very beginning.
However, the kit is not yet available therefore tearing the ready to run is the best current option.
ahaha u cant fix wpl with wpl
