Alex kowaliuk here would you consider taking the x o1 and putting in the infraction steering and avc gyro.with an 8s setup. ?? I think you could make the xo1 what it was meant to be.???

Let's be real, RC is a well-to-do man's game. A decent build, on average, is going to run you $600 and up. Anything less than that technically qualifies as cheap, and you should expect to get what you paid for. That said, I appreciate the existence of WPL. They make a decent entry point to get people into RC and give them a taste.

It's actually gone nuts over the past 2 yrs. To give you an idea, when the Toyato first came out, it was around $199 CDN. Now? It's the same price as the Tamiya F250. I picked up a 144001 for $79 CDN on amazon in 2021 and it's now $179 and up. The RGT pioneer used to be around $229 CDN now it's $500 and up.

They usually have a nice body and not being the best performer is fun and challenging. My most expensive and capable is almost boring lol.

I was having this issue with a WPL that a customer brought in to me for repair. It turns out that replacing the cheapo battery pack it comes with, with a better 2S lipo fixed the cut out problem. My guess is that the cheap batteries they come with have too much voltage sag causing the LVC to kick in constantly when the motor is under load.

@acynder1

Ай бұрын

yeah, that controler looks exactly like the one that came with the D12, and they cut out exactly like that if you try to drift it in a gryppy surface if you keep at it long enought. I like wpl's shells a lot and usualy go crazy with the mechanical parts. Like a blue C24 with MN axles and metal suspension for stability and flex, or a red one retrofited to leaf suspension and a tamiya 540 for 4wd drifts. They are cars to thinker with more than anything else for me, and I love them for that.

I have 12 WPL’s (some of them still not built) but stopped buying them because by the time you upgrade all the electronics and metal parts you’ve spent enough to get something like a 1/10 Losi 22s when they’re on sale for $149 etc. If they would at minimum put some oil shocks, metal parts and just use the Kit tires for everything it would help. I still like them and enjoy building them it’s just the prices have gone up considerably but they’re still the same toy/hobbyish grade RC’s.

These WPLs are great toys for those who are looking to invest a bit of extra money and tinker with the upgrades. Playing with these isnt that much fun as rebuilding them on the weekends to make suspension tweaks and imrovements. Then somethink breaks and the endless cycle repeats. Think these are ideal as cheapest beginner crawlers, especially in RTR form. This one is definitely a buy. But im going to wait until they work out these cutting out issues after the first batch is sold out everywhere for a bit. Absolutely loved building my c24. This will be a great addition to the fleet.

Every RC car brakes and it's always endless😂😂😂 Elizabeth

In my hobbie, the RC hydraulic machines there is no thing as cheap. When you buy cheap you buy a lot of times but if you spend a bit more, you have less to worry about

If people want cheap, you should do a Kamtec Hot Hatch mini-series...

The FCX24 Blazer was such a game changer for me. Affordable and easy to take everywhere. Also a ton of little accessories and upgrades already available. It’s been a fun little garden crawler. Now I’ve been eyeing something bigger and it’s not so bad when it’s a gradual increase in price as opposed to immediately dropping 500 bones (worms)

20k for a functional Lamborghini is cheap and if you ask anyone they'll agree but 20k is still a lot of money but most people seem to not understand that concept, they think cheap equals a 2 digit dollar figure

‘Cheap’ is a relative term.

It seems like the control is much better than the original c54, maybe I'll get another WPL soon.

I really appreciate how you can take a cheap car and make it look awesome. Hail to the king

Wpl make some amazing looking vehicles, but performance of the electronics is an after thought, I have a few and other than sitting on a shelf and lookin phat I dont drive them, ever.

Thars why in us(like motion rc) etc futaba 10j 380/390eu,in my local rc shop i paid 310 eu for f10j with upgrade battery! !

Have the same cut out problem with my C24-1 and found it it's the little plastic connectors on the board that shake loose. I had to just gut it and replaced with an exhobby 2 in 1 receiver/esc

Those wpl are cheap but I like them because they are easy to work on and modify. I made my Suzuki a drifter with d64 chassis.

I've always thought WPL were surprising. I have 3. 2 are c24's and a d12. Which reminds me, I need to fish them out and have another look. Thanks for sharing this one mate.

I don’t have any rc cars and this just randomly came on my feed, but coming from FPV. $325 for a decent setup that includes a controller sounds like a good deal to me lol.

The bouncy shocks respond faster to the terrain. And then keep responding 🤣. Looks quite a good model tbh. Nice review 👍🍺🇬🇧

Still using Philips head screws to get the tires off? The screws that run into the actual axel?

I think some people just don't get the idea that prices can be relative. Also, cheap can mean not costing a lot and/or not great quality. I am looking forward to seeing that giant truck going btw. You do really know your driving spots too, this one looks pretty at this time of year.

thanks for this, I think that's brilliant for the price, just ordered one for my son to try.

I put a 1060 with a a flysky radio and 3s lipo it’s like night and day the jimny with stock electronics was like a Walmart toy now it has potential kept the stock motor and servo in it and it’s working well. Although I’m a little worried about the gears with the added speed to the truck

decent little rig

what is inside that crossRC box on your truck bed please? is it the new EMO XL 6x6 1/8th scale?

What a perfect setup & venue. Fantastic group of rigs & drivers I see! 👍👌🤘TOP STUFF! 😎👊

I have a c74 they are awesome when upgraded

I’d pay $85 for this truck with oil shocks. It just needs them so bad, like everything with friction dampers.

Nice G shock👌

I like this little truck...you buy this for a kid he'll like it A LOT more than those toy grade RC you see at toys R us and other surface stores...and it's probably cheaper than many of them.

the throttle button controls drag brake, on and off, does not control throttle speed, according to WPL

Mostly, you get what you pay for. Maybe a better expression rather than cheap would be ‘good value’

Ridiculous prices! Absolute daylight robbery!

I like some of the Wpl stuff I've got the old C24-1 so may have to get one of these too.

I like the wpl idea but I find they need to just make the quality of the axles and props better

Thats cheap, but still expensive compared to a freddo 😂 you cant please everyone 👍

Cross RC XX10 T-REX Please show wiring in the cab and in the chassis. Got of these on the list for the next couple months. Just trying to work out mods for interior. What interior would you go for? I am thinking about a bus from fast and furious FPV camera in the turret on the front, possible thermal camera and head tracking with manual controls FPV for driving with night vision and head tracing BB fire controls on front turret Weapons station monitoring in cab with screen from turret FPV proximity sensors station and range finder CCTV monitoring screens for workers of the M198's Some lower chassis lights plus a whole lot more For this build can you upload pictures of stuff of interest please or more over head shots where you slow down more so we can learn how the pro's do it 🙂. Cross RC as always just don't show you things you need to know.They built it but didn't show any of the wiring for where it went. Also need those chassis shots to see where there is empty space. If possible can you try to add a traxxas 3s battery some where in the chassis lie maybe under the motor or in the rear? I would like to keep the storage boxes for ammo for the m198's and other things, like tools and javelin missiles. If you can show a battery that fits and tell us the battery make and model we'll know for sizing. For this truck I am thinking about adding 2000kv motors, I wonder if when cross said dont exceed 12100Kv what they really mean but then said if you are going brushless it should be less than 1600Kv? We need to Mr Talbot to build this just so we can see what kinda of destruction he can do as he does. We get info from you then watch Kevin destroy, sorry Game over. Of course great job as always, not trying to rush you on the build 🙂, and love the videos.

Except for the occasional cut out the little truck perform well. It's truly a cheap crawler. I found it interesting for a lot of the WPL crawlers you can get same day deliver from Amazon in the U.S. for no extra charge.There's more to the determination of cheap than just the new price. If you buy an r/c car and it's breaking all the time, it's not good value no matter what the price. The RGT you tested for a year was worth the cost. I think Redcat is a company that have some cheap crawlers that give good value.

@@tomley_rc That's too bad. I watched one review of one of its cheapest crawlers, the Danchee Ridgerunner. It's a very basic and flexible crawler. It's 1/10 with locked diffs. standard steering, four wheel steering, crab steering, rear wheel steering, dual motors and portal axles. It's price is $169. The dual motor eliminates the transmission, The reviewer is usually tough on the cars/trucks he tests. He liked it I would like to see your opinion of it.

Does that have the same gear box as the new Unimog? Looks like it has a spot for a second motor

Love ur content along with all info. Keep it up

I had the same isue with my b36 cutting out but I think that was due to the fact the battery I was running was a piece of S***.

I guess some people think cheap in a different way i think the FTX/RGT models are very well priced these days, WPL is cheap but a bit to cheap an nasty i guess some people might think other brands are cheap just different perceptions

It looks like a bit of a fulse economy, I can imagine that breaking quite easily

£250 for a truck of that standard is cheap rc aint a cheap hobby i only got into it 2 weeks ago and spent £1500 already its also very addictive

Vanquish is SO much better than Traxxas! That's insane that Traxxas is able to sell ANY crawlers overseas at that price. If I walked in a hobby shop in Colorado and they told me $700 for a TRX-4 I would laugh in their face.

Well don't know how you got that rgt at that price. Been looking and looking and cheapest I can find anywhere is between £325 and £350

cheap hi trail, i like it but the cut outs sort of put me off abit 👍👍

Don’t do cheap! Better to buy quality not cheap! Spend your 💰 and life is much better! 😜

Probably best to go with “relatively cheap”. Relatively to similar offerings, this thing is cheap… can’t argue with that :D

You watch, the ones moaning about the last one not being cheap in their misguided opinion will say this is too cheap and nasty 😂

about the cheap... he is kinda right... but also not.... if youre pretty much rich.. like the other one uk youtuber...then cheap is everything under 1000 $ honestly... but when you have like 1500$ monthly...everything over 200$ is expensive as hell...

Everybody's idea of cheap is different. The way you explain it makes sense. It's cheap in comparison to other products but, people react only to the word cheap because we all have different views according to our financial status. When I first got into the RC hobby I didn't have a lot of money so the £60 I paid for my WLToys 144001 was just about affordable. Now I earn a decent wage and I am further into this hobby, its cheap compared to the Arrma Kraton which cost me 10 times that.

That's an inexpensive trail truck.... Leaves lots of money for upgrades.

for a good crawler that’s pretty cheap

We need something in between, not 100€ and not 300€, something good at 200€ will be a nice spot, and there's not much there
