    I like the way you use bigger wires. I see lots of people using the stock or just plain ol' small wires. You loose a lot of power and make the ESC and motor hotter.

    Great advice with the driveshafts but i'm still not exactly sure which are the narrow ended type. I am about to buy some for a c24. I am going to order the metal gear transfer case (drop box/transfer case) with a 370 motor but none seem to come with drive shafts. I like the look of the Remo A7956 for 1/10 1093-ST / 1073 / SJ shafts but the ones listed for c or b24 seem very chunky on the ends. Not sure if the other type will fit as they are listed as for 1/10 scale but they might well fit. Could you link to some suitable types? Thanks. Also thinking of fitting full metal axles and wondering if i should go for the 12mm hex nut adapters/spacers or is there a good 5mm spacer available as i'm keen to do a similar shock mod. Nice work.

  • @andrewviel6651
    @andrewviel66513 жыл бұрын

    If you get an adjustable 4-link you can change the angle of your axles to point them or towards the transfer case and that should take the binding out of the driveshaft however when you point your front drive shaft the way it needs to be it will mess with your steering a little

    I'm just guessing about your soldering I have a similar problem but I think it's because you're not using flux maybe try using flux core wire or get a tray with flux paste and don't be shy to dip the contacts you're trying to solder to directly in that locks and then heat them up wait for that stuff to sizzle off and then apply your solder there are different thicknesses of solder and also different solder that melts at different temperatures so it's good to match your solder to your soldering gun all these Pro tips should help you out I like what you did with your truck with the suspension I'm trying to do the same thing and now I realize I have a new problem to deal with because I want to set my front up the same as yours but I don't want to mess with my steering or put spacers

    I am new to wpl trucks and just got a c24. I have a fee questions if someone could help me out. 1. Do I need to upgrade a metal axel kit before I can install the metal shocks? I bought an axel kit, new oil filled shocks, drive line, front bumper, new tires and rims so far. I ask because I tried to install the new shocks but they don't seem to want to mount up on the plastic axel. 2. Where in the world do I find bigger tires for this truck. I have seen them with larger tires and have checked eBay and can't find any for the wpl trucks. 3. When I tried to install the metal drive shafts they seem to slip. The plastic ones seem to have a notch inside the hole that keeps them from slipping but the metal ones seem to only rely on that little screw to keep them from slipping. Am I missing something? 4. Does anyone make a rear bumper with hitch? Can the crappy servo be upgraded and if so would I need a new controller, or reciever, special mount or would a new servo mount in place of the old cheap one? I think that's all I'm going to do on it for now then later on replace the steering components and linkage. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

    Also WPL are NOT "intricate" lol, they are as basic as RC's can possibly be! Compare these simple WPL 1/14 scale kit builds to for example the 1/35 scale Orlando Hunter Rock crawler kit & your looking at 30 times the skill, time, coordination & especially the patience involved. the 1/35 Orlando build is not only 10 times smaller & requires putting together a LOT more of the parts (u even have to hand drill ALL the holes to screw part into) but there are at least 20 times more parts to the build as well. WPL is VERY simple even for a child! (except this guy)
