Once again I´m astonished by your uncanny skill at simultaneous driving and recording. This truck is utterly beautiful and I agree that the poor old rear prop UJ looks to be operating at a much kinder angle as a result of the increase in wheelbase.
Looks great!! I’m still learning about electronics. I know I need a new servo but I don’t know what size/power I should get. You’re the WPL king so I figured you’d be the one to ask. Keep it up. Love the videos.
Doesn’t the kit come with a servo and an engine with the gearbox? I thought that you only need to add batteries and electronics like controller,receiver and the electronic main card ( I dunno if that is called this way I’m not English)
I was looking at the WPL's for awhile now and like them but wasn't sure which to get. Now I know which 1 I'm getting when it comes out 😎👍. I especially love the color,it goes perfectly for this rig
@@TomleyRC That's really good to hear,thanx. 😎👍. They're were several models I like but bein an FJ fan this version is a must have for me. Great video as always
Holker don't be surprised if they DO somehow manage to release kit version of this one for 75-80 bucks. they've re-tooled for the metal gears, aluminum axle casings, the frame is a simple+single stamping... RTR with sound might be 35-40 bucks more is how I'd ballpark estimate them. been upgrading my older all plastics WPL's and the MN-D90, hasn't been really expensive. the newer C-14 kits have been STILL 32-35 bucks (eBay), now have brass bevel gears in the axles and a B-36 tan gearbox with 180 motor for great crawling torque. the plastic 4 link suspension arms are plenty good, just need to drop 7-8 bucks for the metal drive shafts to install. plastics version kit of this may be similar and 40-50 bucks to start with.
Nice one! Been thinking about getting a C34 and modding it to that style... might still have to go that route because I suspect the new one will cost quite a bit more for a while. That color sure looks nice.
2:14 hey there C34 with wider Fayee rims+tires painted black, that extra width sure nice! mentioning again: slice off inner tire beads of another set of WPL rims, sand mating surface flat and CA to the outsides for new stock "deep dish" rims, very nice, does good things for the tires too (flex, traction, stays on rims, extra 6mm total width). really like the look of the "popsicle stick flatbed", aluminum axle casings, metal links and shafts, spare tire under the bed and more. some oil damping would sure be nice since they're going all out with it. edit: in other replies here, shared some tips/tricks for stock WPL type shocks that do some really nice things for damping and flex, maybe worth a look for :)
That sound kit doesnt sound right on a light duty pickup. I think they are ment for the military trucks. I would like to see a engine sound kit for the regular trucks though, maybe a modified diesel sound with lots of turbo noise like the extream winch trucks.
@Tomley RC Not a massive fan of the wheels on the c44 km. Is there something with a little more sidewall structure but decent grip that you know of that fits the truckStruggling to find anything. Thanks for the vids
looks like same stock WPL shocks etc. modded a set using M3 50mm half threaded hex cap screws, cut to leave 5/16 the threads, grind hex caps to diameter fitting the shock bodies gaining about 4.5 mm length over the stock M4 diameter shock rods. trim springs ends with a cutoff wheel for the cap screw heads being thicker, gains some negative suspension travel making more+easier flex/twist. another reply here is "how to" for friction damping.
the 6 spoke Fayee rims+tires (5-6 bucks) do add 1/2 to 9/16 of width, have sets on C-14 and MN-D90 look really nice, and help a lot too not side tipping as easy.
Hi I watch your videos and just want to ask which is better WPL C44KM C44 or Fayee FY002A 2nd Generation . I'm thinking on buying one my budget is $100. Thanks men.
I paused and looked close.. nope! fun little trick tho, use a paper punch on some sticky backed foam sheeting, drill a 2 mm center hole, put it on the underside of the shock rod with a tiny bit of CA glue (with a pin to the shock rod all the way around just before pushing the foam disc into place). gives really NICE friction damping for pennies, just carefully tuck the disks into the shock bodies with a hobby knife tip when assembling back together. give it a drop of oil on top of the disk before placing spring and end cap. pun 100% intended, "you'll be shocked".
@@modelnutty6503 I noticed after I searched for it. But I'm talking to wpl toys myself to see if I can test a few of there rigs but my as big of a channel yet so idk. 😅
@@TomleyRC I know but bang goods standards are way to high last I talked to them they said you need crazy amounts of subs to get even 1 video or rc sponcered lol! So I'm talking to wpl directly! 😊 I also setup a patreon to hopefully help found my channel hopefully I get a few followers soon. 😅
Another question. I ordered the diesel sound kit and the board I received doesn’t look like the pic in the sales add or the schematic they sent with it. Can you take a pic of the sound board. I want to make sure I received the right one. My rc is still in the mail. No way to test it. How do I tell if I received the 2 generation diesel sound The board they sent looks different that in the pictures online. Thanks.
Tomley RC Garage I followed up with WPL. And they said I have the correct board it is just a later. Version the supplier keeps changing up the layout but it is a gen 2 board. I’m all good AliExpress.
It's annoying that they discontinued their kit versions. Why people can't realise that building a car is much more interesting than getting an RTR, and is a true hobby grade path??? And when you have either Traxxas or nothing it's very bad.
anything rc I’d still take a scx24 over one of these. At least then if you buy it you can go and crawl with it. I’m into my WPL for 175$ and there is still weak points all over that keep me from taking it out onto an actual crawler track.
Hello I ordered this kit but it says it needs a controller and battery and stuff. What parts do I order is there a kit I purchase to complete it so I can drive it. Also diesel sound is awesome. What comes in that add on just sound or the controller and such. Thanks help me please.
Ok Thanks so that will complete my project. The sound kit and battery ?? Thanks. Is that what they call the esc included also. Thanks I’m new to the RC world
Iiii bought one in brown. ...😊 The sound link in the description under your video is an petrol sound kit... "This set has the sound effect for petrol version" You write in the video that it is an Disel sound kit you use.... Do you have a link the one you bought 😊
Sometimes the spring on the selector arm is not strong enough. I put a little cable tie(zip tie) on there to tighten the spring tension. either that, or the gear servo is not set up quite right.
@@TomleyRC The gear has stopped slipping and now both servos are continuously moving and stopping by themselves .Green and red lights are blinking fast on the radio.Man im tired with this. Please help again.
@@TomleyRC I did the same thing and afterwards i noticed the transmitter red and green lights blinking faster and faster until it goes off.I was using AA rechargeable batteries and i switched to normal batteries now. Everything works fine for now. I guess the transmitter's battery was the issue. Thanks for helping though. Have a nice day.
The first model c34 was a crap , now C44KM is much better and the previous blue metallic kit is also good, i have your videos. That's why i know the differences. I see that chinese have start to take much more serious the quality of their rc models. They try and they make good rc cars in general.
Hey man, We can work together I will translate your video to Indonesia, and the money we'll split for two may I be your partner, I'll translate your video into the Indonesian, which that it means that I work for you in my country, it s a problem that I can give to your Paypal, and I'll send it back as soon as I need your video
