WPL E1 Metal tracks Upgrade. Attempts the Hill Climb.

Ойын-сауық

67 links on each side for the WPL E1 metal tracks with rubber traction pads. It was a lot of time to get it together but it was straight forward and simple enough to assemble.
So far since install they haven't slipped off once. I can definitely recommend this upgrade.
I believe they are available now on the WPL-RC website:

    This must be the hardest test I have seen for the crawling abilities on the E1 yet, very awesome! I have metal tracks on the way, can hardly wait to try them out 😁

    Thanks for sharing! I've got an E1 on order from Banggood as at the time WPL had sold out on their site. However, I've got the metal track upgrade on the way (and a B36.. OOPS! :D). I reckon all three should arrive across the pond in the UK at a similar time :). Interesting to note that WPL are offering limited packs of the V1 drive sprockets along with the V2 ones. Eh? Yes the metal track upgrades now come with a V2 drive "sprocket" - instead of the two halves having teeth, there are now metal pins running between them all around the circumference which grab the track teeth. This is an answer to the problem which can arise of dirt in the track holes forcing the sprocket teeth out of position and damaging the drivetrain.

    nice! rubber tracks can stretch a little to pop loose, might be solved weaving 6lb fishing line through like a long figure 8 stitch down both sides of each. it doesn't seem to lack torque at all with dual 130 worm gear drives, but more could be had slapping in a pair of neutral brush timed 180's easily enough (same RPM both directions) for 5-6 bucks.

    Fantastic!! Really looking forward to the progress on this vehicle!! I am eager to pick one up, but I would like to see a 2-speed or a larger motor upgrade, or both. Nothing insane, nothing to bash, but similar to the boosts in performances of the other KM kits. This is a fantastic vehicle, and I'm definitely going to need to add and rc smoker to it somewhere... Great vids, as always, thanks, and, keep up the great work!!

    @@RunThatRC I recently bought an aftermarket metal 2 stage gearbox. Not bad, and affordable, all things considered. I'd love to see some lcg links and alternate bodies come out. I really think WPL should do another style of axle too, to diversify their lineup. Love them though, and getting a bunch lolz

    It's a nice upgrade but this isn't the only problem that needs fixing. It would also be great to get the suspension working more effectively.

    yes the suspension is stiff. Maybe with the metal tracks I can try and remove some or all of the springs and see if that works and doesn't derail.

    I have only ran it about 20 times but I will assume the metal tracks will eventually eat at the plastic wheels and need replacing once they start skipping (kinda like bike chain and gears need replacing) that's going to be a need for this at some point. How much time before it needs it I cant tell yet because mine still look good.

    Hey bud Amazon has a nice sct on sale right now for $100. It's brushed but well worth the money. I just got one and did a brushless swap. It's called the leagendary nitro 4x4 sct. I wanted to tell you as I know you have reviewed that brand before. It's actually a rebrand of the imex samurai and FTX zorro. Great deal for what you get. This tank is pretty cool!
