Thanks. this was the intention., even if sometimes i think i should tell less and have the video shorter. people , especially modelers, are often problem solver, and they can make it just with few fundamental info. But as you said, on the other side, if you lack on confidence, here you have all the steps this type of comments help me choosing for next videos.
Ohhhh, thanks a lot!!! Couple months ago I decided to try direct mount drive on my wpl c24 with 3650 brushed motor with double side shaft.....still waiting for motor to come from China. Will reply later how it will be going....or maybe make a video....will see))) Thanks!
Looks great! I bet a 600 or 700Kv motor would be perfect but I know from experience they are difficult to find in that size. The frustration of scouring Aliexpress and finding every kind of spec BUT the one you need lol
At about 5 mins you find out the motor direction is wrong. You could just swap any 2 wires on the brushless motor to swap it's direction. Nice modification, I'm wondering about doing the same but keeping the gearbox
Hi, Not really, i tried actually. the car esc is not simmetrical. While the cheap3 euro it is, in fact there i just reversed the cables. Think, if you press the tx trigger to go backward, the esc will read a go back, so it applies brake at the first pull, then reverse at the second push. So the esc needs to know what is the “finger movement”, not sufficent to invert motor rotation. You should also have a tx with the “reverse”option
which motor setup would you recommend? the 2212 you showed in this video? or the 2430 or 2435 like other people put in them? Also why did you choose to delete the gearbox and how did it change the car?
It depends Mine 2212 is the cheapest approach, more efficient for batt saving, and you will save stripping gearbox issues The other could be more immediate in term of throttle response for drifting, because the inertia should be lower on the inrunner, i guess, bit i didn t try
Instead of soldering the external ESC power wires to the wpl board, can I just plug the battery into the external ESC if I keep the power wire on the ESC plug that plugs into the wpl board?
@@MakerFabio thank you for the response. I'm thinking that it will probably work. That way it'll be a more direct power connection from the battery straight to the external ESC. I think I'm going to risk my circuit board to test the theory. 🤙
@@brsrc759 i think you have good chances too. Please share with us the result then. It may improve the battery connection as you said Drawback(up to a certain point) is that you don t have the original switch anymore
@@MakerFabio thank you so much I have a mn99s which is kinda a clone of wpls so I was trying to reverse engineer that board kinda following your setup but it is different. Thank you so much for getting back to me.
Another great vedio, I already starting to like your vedios. I have a question, using high speed drives might wear and tear differential gears much faster, what is your opinion on this thought? Can you also do vedios on other wpl models? .... hats off to your efforts..
Hi , thanks I calculated the wheels speed it is about 2,5 times if i recall correctly, so a decent speed for an hobby grade car (this is half toy half hobby grade) But actually considering the gears quality (not outstanding) and the poor gear matching, it will short the life a little for sure. The direct drive speed is higher but the torque is maybe equal or less, so maybe the impact is not huge. But still for the wpl d12 it is totally worthed, smooth and faster, lower noise and power consumption (when running at the same speed , battery last forever)
@@marutheeshsai8578 hi, unukily, at the moment I don t have other wpl models, Maybe today i ll publish one on an diy rc boat outboard motor build out of the wpl d12 rear axle and some 3d prints plus a propeller.

@@MakerFabio ciao and grazie. will wait for your new vedios. Just for info there are millions of wpl/mn rc fans across the globe, your vedio on d12 was impressive.. especially the explanation on the electronics and the way they can be altered.

@@marutheeshsai8578 eheh you are probably right. Which other wpl models are the most famous at the moment? Then i want also to balance the video content and put also more about electronic DIY and not only models. So let’s see. But tell me a nice other wpl model, i may buy it
Hello fabio, my stock receiver board have problem with servo! Everything is ok but servo is not working? I connect servo to other wpl d12 and its working but when iam put it in d12 mine , its not work , so the problem in stock reciever ! Can you help me which the components can i fix to solve the servo problem ? Few days ago …i swap the battery connections by mistake , then the servo not working and maybe loose somthing in the board ! Help me please
Hard to say I don t have the schematic of the receiver, and it could be the output of a microcontroller, so impossible to fix (without having the sw to be burned) but yes, if you swap the battery you may destroy the little output producing the pulse Very sorry for this
Very thanks to quick respond fabio, So this is second time i swap connect and bought stock reciever, so sad for it but thanks again man , I appreciate your time
Hi, sorry for the late reply. Yes 1000 to 930 will not change much. Even if this truck was already too fast and the 1000 version will make it even faster and not very smooth running at low speed (little more risk of cogging). But if just for some crazy run, also the 1000 (like the 930) should work just fine. I see there are also 820kv available, try to see the shipping time for those
@@MakerFabiohey man :) After a complete year, I finally had time to do this. Took me a bir longer than 3 hours even though I am good at doing these tasks. But the challenge was the small space and I want it to look like original 😅
I guess it is better for speed. Maybe also for drift since drag brake is minimal, but throttle response is little slower than standard brushless inrunner
Hi I don t know a lot, i don t have the battery, i have to buy one, i have only the motor part of it, which is not working with a standard power supply

Not sure, maybe is a little too fast, and there is risk of cogging at startup
Nice job anyway

Did you wire the external ecs into the led or light output. I'm just trying to figure this out is all.

I just purchased the gps to recordo the speed,but i also just lost it in the apartment
Lets see if i found it i may try it
How’s the search going?
Eheh
Found it!
But i didn t measure the truck speed
what kind of battery did u use?
Hi, sorry for the late reply. I used both the original battery or a 650mAh 2s 30C. The current is not high at 2S for a low kv motor
can i use any car esc that is brushless
Sorry for the super late reply. Sure any car brushless esc is ok
Is that good for drift? Or just for speed?
I guess it is better for speed. Maybe also for drift since drag brake is minimal, but throttle response is little slower than standard brushless inrunner
it's better to make your own connector to external esc than to have to damage the built-in components.

A brushless one? Is an esc issue?
If you calibrate the esc you dont need to reverse anything.
Hi, Not really, tou can not configure motor direction. tried actually. the car esc is not simmetrical. While the cheap3 euro it is, in fact there i just reversed the cables. Think, if you press the tx trigger to go backward, the esc will read a go back, so it applies brake at the first pull, then reverse at the second push. So the esc needs to know what is the “finger movement”, not sufficent to invert motor rotation. You should also have a tx with the “reverse”option. Better idea was to flip the axle gears
You just had to reverse 2 wires to reverse the motor rotation, don't need to tweak the potentiometer
