Days like this i Really enjoy your videos.... I watched a Accident at a Light, RIGHT in front of me. No one was hurt but WOW. Crazy. Of course being a Sane Sober Moral person i pulled over an made sure there ok and waited for cops. It was questionable who had the Right away. But when you are more then half way and get your bumper ripped off in the intersection and i watched the light turn flashing arrow so i think it was going Green next and the other lady changed lanes an went through the light on a yellow or red. Cop asked about the arrow light an if it was Flashing or not. I am crazy aware so i know it was flashing i LOL i notice everything. Plus i was 2 cars behind her. CRAZY DAY. Of course it was in front of Walmart. The one time i go there in 4 months. LOL

Yeah man I like to have lights! Mainly since I drive in the evenings often and these woods get darker earlier with all the flora blocking the sunlight and Its fun to have a proper set of headlights that light up the trails and just looks cool doing it. I have a winch in my parts bin thats not being used but its just a basic decent one that Im curious to see if it has the power to lift this rig but im gonna be looking at some soon. I like the ones that come with the small fob controller that can clip onto a transmitter which makes it a more simple installation since the fob controller is already programmed and ready to function out the box. The one I have will require a little programming on my transmitter but shouldn’t be a problem, I’m still getting used to the functionality of this new Dumbo radio. Im gonna check out the licensed winches u mentioned also since that would be the best option but if the one I have works well enough for now then i may use it for a little while or when waiting for a new one to ship. So far this RC has been tons of fun to upgrade both the scale looks and the performance. I can see why alot of people recommend getting the Trailfinder II since it has plenty of part support too. Thanks for the comment, stay cool man and RC on!😀

@@JamesDirtRC Yeah man Redcat 18 are a great performer out the box also with alot of upgrade support! Plus the electronics on it can straight up run on a 3s lipo even though it doesnt meantion 3s in the manual anywhere. No other stock 18 scale can handle 3s. I was weary about trying it but wow it is freaking handling it with no substantial temperature increases with a boost in performance. Aloti of people suggested 3s and I watched several videos before attempting it. Even on 2s its a crawling beast. I hope to see you get something you will be happy with. The FMS are awesome but they dont seem to have as many uprade parts like the Redcat or the Axials but FMS are great with the scale looks that perform great. All RCs are all pricyIMHO. I hate the cost of all of them but I try to get the best for the buck for the most part lately. I just hope you get one that you will be satisfied with. Its a tough choice. I love a good cheap transmitter, this 6ch Dumbo was like $30 and its more comfortable than a $100 digital Radiolink and Radiolink even ownes and makes Dumbo RC controllers.

I had this motor never used just sitting in my parts bin and forgot about it until yesterday while driving with the 21turn Holmes motor, I was wanting a little more slow modulation then “the light bulb went off above my small but useful brain” lol.

Does it keep the low down control with the motor
@deanmachinerc32586 күн бұрын
The more i slow it down with the throttle dual rate ive noticed the more slow speed control i have. That is what made it much more enjoyable to drive. I literally shelved this one for months since I wasn’t pleased with all the speed and it being so difficult to cruise along at a scale slower speed but now that I decided to get it out and work with the adjustments the transmitter provided it has plenty of slow speed control and nice modulation without sacrificing too much power. I was able to crawl on my rock course with it really well and that was when I decided to take it to the trail and test out a scale trail drive with good results. Now with the throttle rate on high it literally has so much punch that if I remove the added weights to the front than it will pop wheelies which sounds fun but is way too much punch to enjoy a nice slow speed controlled scale trail drive. Great slow control now though with the adjustments I am able to easily make. Thank you for a great question and RC on friend!☮️😃

This was a very cool and nice thing for them to do and they have shown me they have the best customer service as an RC retailer that I have personally experienced over the years of dealing with multiple RC brands. I have had bad and good outcomes using magnets as body mounts but mostly bad. Fortunately the four screws that hold the body on (ive upgraded to quick release pins) are plenty enough to hold the body on and the two body post just help support the bed for extra protection and if i replace them with magnets than I shouldnt notice any changes besides more scale looks since they will not be used as the main body/chassis conection like the four pins im using are. I also dont really mind the post but magnets would allow a true full quick release setup. Stay awesome friend and RC on!

Ive taken it on the large rock course that I drive alot. The servo’s are like glass. Horizon hobby sent me an entire case of them a few years back so Ive decided to use them up but wow they break often and Im aware they are just stock and nothing I would ever use on my larger RCs but since I have an entire case I decided to burn them up with the mini Capra. Ive gone through up to around seven so far and I plan to finally put some quality ones on once I start to get low on my stock of them. For trail driving they last a bit longer but still I wish Axial would not ever use such low quality parts that are brittle and make standards a little higher seeing alot of their vehicles are not cheap on the wallet but come stock with some lower quality parts. Thank you for sharing your issue with the axles as i will inspect the condition of mine first thing in the morning and if mine are looking rough for wear I will plan on some metal upgrades soon.

Hopefully if I only add metal axles and nothing to the body for extra weight on the leaf springs than i wont have that sag issue. I do have several scale bits along with a roof rack but after you informed me of this issue i want to keep it as is.

The real ones are amazing! Here is Eric Millers real rock racer and if you look close even the decals and the mirrors are the same as my RC version.

The reason I bought all new yellow body panels from RC4WD was to not damage or peel off Eric Millers origonal graphics since RC4WD worked with Eric Miller to make my RC look identical to his real rock racer. The RC4WD Miller Motorsport Rock Racer is spot on to Eric Millers real one that he won the “King of Hammers” race with multiple times. That dude hand built his real one and made it legendary.

YOU DID IT.... That was AWESOME. Man that really matches the rig. Love that rig. Friend told me to look into rc4wd T2 . My next rig i really don't want all the problems i have with my WPL. Was looking at 1/24 scale crawlers but i think i Like these bigger ones now. Those burn outs are so Epic. Very frustrating day with my rig yesterday. wanted to toss it in the dumpster. Seems like always something, i freaking crawl it. Not like i am at a skate park and it don;'t even go that fast. Ugh. Anyways I'll get a better rig. Just blows me away how the sound matchs the machine so well when you gas it. Really really cool.

I think the RC4WD Trailfinder 2’s are just awesome! They are scale and reliable. Although to make a RC scale than you do lose some crawling ability if you want a competition crawler than a scaler is not the way to go but I prefer RC scaler’s that can preform well and I believe you do too. I bet you would love a RC4WD T2. The cost is the one thing I dont like but I know there is quality in a RC4WD RC. This Miller costed me well over $500 and that sucks but it is a well built machine with all kinds of upgrade ability although Im leaving mine stock since its good enough for me.

You could put a 1080 on your C24, I put a 1060 on the c34 and it works great. The main difference between the two is the 1060 is pre programmed and cannot connect to the program box but the 1060 is around $20 which is the main reason I got it since I want to keep the total build cost down on my C34. I do like the stock settings on the 1060’s programming which is pretty much setup just right for crawlers.

I have to have working lights especially if they was originally on there to begin with! I do like to go out after dark and trail with some good LED’s on my rig. Im going to look for a set to put in the remainder yellow light holders and the two small white headlights on front and then it will be finished. WPL’s look good with working LEDs also. Im still waiting for my set of metal axles to install on my new WPL C34. This Land Rover has become one of my all time favorite trail rigs. I am impressed with the way the suspension has held up with little to no changes from stock. The new esc has made it a much better more capable RC along with the upgraded Feetech brand servo that now has 7.4v going to it opposed to the stock esc’s 6v, it really made a nice difference in the steering response and overall driving experience. Thanks for your cool thoughts on this one too! Super scale and it can perform well even with the heavier hard body. Fun hobby we have! Stay awesome and RC on man! ☮️👍😄

Can you please tell me what wheels you have on your summit? I need to replace mine and I’m looking for tall wide tires thanx so much
@deanmachinerc3258Ай бұрын
These are Duratrax Stakker MT 3.8”wheels and they come pre-glued to the rim but you have to buy the wheel extensions in order to fit them so they can fit like the stock tires do. Duratrax used to sell the “Summit” style Stakker wheels but no longer do and this is the only way to get the Stakker tires to fit properly although they do work without the extensions but they are set way less wider on the axle than they should. They discontinued the Stakker MT 3.8” with the 1/2” offset needed to fit perfectly not long before I had bought this set you see here on my video from a year or two ago. So I had to buy the extentions to make the only ones they sell fit and mount wide like the ones they discontinued would have, but I like them alot. Thanks friend, If you need any more help just give me a shout. I have made probably a dozen more videos of my summit since this one and I have a green body on it now.

that's a cool little trail rig, I just got a YIkong 4103 pro Toyota FJ cruiser 1/10th scale and it seem's to have a lot of body roll more than this one does is it possible that my shock's did not come with oil in them ? I would liek them to be a little stiffer but do not want to sacrifice any small crawling flex either. what are your thought's ?
@deanmachinerc3258Ай бұрын
I completely agree with not wanting to sacrifice the flex. First i would try to adjust the springs if they have built in adjustments or even clips but if no improvement than I would try to add some oil and I would start with a low amount to see if there was any improvements. I added 30 weight oil to this one and its almost where i want the suspension to be. I want this one to flex like a real one would. Surprisingly these stock shocks really work well and keep it from wanting to flip over and provide a fair amount of nice flex. Now my RC4WD Miller came stock with low oil that alot of people tend to add more but I feel it just looks better and has better flex with the low oil level so I decided to leave mine stock and It looks great when it flexes over obstacles. Let me know if you made any improvements on you shocks and RC on friend!

So I got the WPL C34 FJ jeep-like rc and I installed A Hobbywing 1060 and used a 3s lipo and it worked well. I went ahead and ordered metal axles for it but decided on the straight ones instead of the portals. I figured less problem areas with the straight axles plus I will mainly trail and minor crawl with it. After hearing the problems you are experiencing with the portals I guess I made the right choice?! I will probably get the single speed 370 as it works great in my WPL Suzuki but the 180 is pretty awesome on 3s, I was surprised with its performance. I also am trying to keep this a low budget build and the metal portals were much more pricy than the metal straight axles. This WPL was only $40 where I got it as even WPLs website sells this version no cheaper than $75 so I figured to get it while I could at that cost. Thanks for your thoughts on the new wheels and tires on this video as this rig is one of my favorite RCs that didnt cost me an arm and leg. It really runs great with the few upgrades Ive done.

@@JamesDirtRC Im gonna go ahead and get the 370 as soon as I find the single speed in stock since WPL doesn’t have any in yet. There is tons of the two speed 370 everywhere I look online for sale. It must be the big seller for WPL since theres so many. It seems like every time Im ready to buy something from WPL, the thing I want is out of stock. I do see alot of the aftermarket 370 all metal transmission but I have one and its reduction gears make it too slow for trail driving and it mainly for slower controlled crawling. Anyway thanks for the comment and this rig I would recommend to everyone as it was one of the rigs Kevin Talbot would put up against his TRX4 and it would keep up with it on his channel.

It steers great when the diffs are unlocked. It was as soon as the diffs were locked (front only) style just like the TRX4 has, that there was a huge loss in steering. Thats what I was referring too back when I filmed ths. I set it up differently now in 2024. (Changed it to have the third diff setting to rear lock/front unlock) Now i have all the steering plus i have all the added traction with the rear locked to drive over obstacles. I can still lock/unlock all also.I appreciate the concern the steering is perfect now with just some different programming and a better servo setup on the differentials.Didnt cost anything lol.

This one is a 2.2 stock tire RC. I do believe 1.9s would look fine on it also. I have new 2.2 RC4WD brand mudslinger tires on red aluminum beadlock wheels ready to test on it only I am waiting for a $6 special wrench to remove the stock wheels that are mounted with six small nuts. The actual standard wheel nut screws down and holds a scale looking brake disc that has six screws on it to mount the wheel to. Basically I’m just going to remove the brake disc and install the upgraded aluminum wheels like a normal RC. The scale brake disc are a nice touch but you can barely even see them on it so I’m not loosing much when removing them. Good question, RC on and have fun! ✌️😁

Days like this i Really enjoy your videos.... I watched a Accident at a Light, RIGHT in front of me. No one was hurt but WOW. Crazy. Of course being a Sane Sober Moral person i pulled over an made sure there ok and waited for cops. It was questionable who had the Right away. But when you are more then half way and get your bumper ripped off in the intersection and i watched the light turn flashing arrow so i think it was going Green next and the other lady changed lanes an went through the light on a yellow or red. Cop asked about the arrow light an if it was Flashing or not. I am crazy aware so i know it was flashing i LOL i notice everything. Plus i was 2 cars behind her. CRAZY DAY. Of course it was in front of Walmart. The one time i go there in 4 months. LOL

Never had them but even on videos there annoying hahahaha. reverse lights, and break lights would be cool. Oh They have Licensed Warn Winch's for that size i think.
Yeah man I like to have lights! Mainly since I drive in the evenings often and these woods get darker earlier with all the flora blocking the sunlight and Its fun to have a proper set of headlights that light up the trails and just looks cool doing it. I have a winch in my parts bin thats not being used but its just a basic decent one that Im curious to see if it has the power to lift this rig but im gonna be looking at some soon. I like the ones that come with the small fob controller that can clip onto a transmitter which makes it a more simple installation since the fob controller is already programmed and ready to function out the box. The one I have will require a little programming on my transmitter but shouldn’t be a problem, I’m still getting used to the functionality of this new Dumbo radio. Im gonna check out the licensed winches u mentioned also since that would be the best option but if the one I have works well enough for now then i may use it for a little while or when waiting for a new one to ship. So far this RC has been tons of fun to upgrade both the scale looks and the performance. I can see why alot of people recommend getting the Trailfinder II since it has plenty of part support too.

@@JamesDirtRC Yeah man Redcat 18 are a great performer out the box also with alot of upgrade support! Plus the electronics on it can straight up run on a 3s lipo even though it doesnt meantion 3s in the manual anywhere. No other stock 18 scale can handle 3s. I was weary about trying it but wow it is freaking handling it with no substantial temperature increases with a boost in performance. Aloti of people suggested 3s and I watched several videos before attempting it. Even on 2s its a crawling beast. I hope to see you get something you will be happy with. The FMS are awesome but they dont seem to have as many uprade parts like the Redcat or the Axials but FMS are great with the scale looks that perform great. All RCs are all pricyIMHO. I hate the cost of all of them but I try to get the best for the buck for the most part lately. I just hope you get one that you will be satisfied with. Its a tough choice.

This transmission setup is butter smooth, It seems to be the most smooth operating rig in my entire collection. I am still debating whether to keep it brushed or go brushless. One thing that blows is while tightening the set screw on my pinion on this motor, I over torqued just enough to strip it out! Man it stripped bad too, completely round with no more hex.

Such a Pretty Machine. Great looking Trail Truck. I Just Love it.
Thanks my friend! I finally began to break in the leaf springs also. If you look at the suspension in the video you can see the improvement in flex. I was told it just takes time and gets better, which is understandable giving the stiffness the leafs had on my first run. I have a few more scale cosmetic parts coming from RC4WD soon and am looking forward to that. I had this motor never used just sitting in my parts bin and forgot about it until yesterday while driving with the 21turn Holmes motor, I was wanting a little more slow modulation then “the light bulb went off above my small but useful brain” lol. I remembered this motor and wow it has awesome slow speed control. I love it, along with a nice trail speed and this 1080 esc it runs great. Thank you for your thoughts and always cool! RC on my friend! ☮️
Does it keep the low down control with the motor
The more i slow it down with the throttle dual rate ive noticed the more slow speed control i have. That is what made it much more enjoyable to drive. I literally shelved this one for months since I wasn’t pleased with all the speed and it being so difficult to cruise along at a scale slower speed but now that I decided to get it out and work with the adjustments the transmitter provided it has plenty of slow speed control and nice modulation without sacrificing too much power. I was able to crawl on my rock course with it really well and that was when I decided to take it to the trail and test out a scale trail drive with good results. Now with the throttle rate on high it literally has so much punch that if I remove the added weights to the front than it will pop wheelies which sounds fun but is way too much punch to enjoy a nice slow speed controlled scale trail drive. Great slow control now though with the adjustments I am able to easily make. Thank you for a great question and RC on friend!☮️😃

@@deanmachinerc3258 Yeah that is Fitting names :) His recent Video with the 24th scale as a Baby. Killed me i was in tears Laughing. Just getting into the hobby it really gets me laughing. I Enjoy This so much. I Love Driving, wrenching, filming, and watching RC's. Good Time FUN.
@@JamesDirtRC Im right with you! I love this hobby too!
Truck is Looking Good. Oh man that Chain saw is Sweet.The Driver looks perfect. I have Magnets on my body. I hate them LOL hahaha.
Yeah man this chainsaw is crazy detailed! Dude RC4WD have been super cool and Im in no way endorsed or sponsored by them, I just spend my money on RC’s I really like and they not only sent me a proper color painted hood for my rock racer with no charge and they paid shipping but also they told me they had a few gifts for me to go with my next purchase I’m assuming since they seemed to like my videos on their RC’s and appreciated my business with them! This was a very cool and nice thing for them to do and they have shown me they have the best customer service as an RC retailer that I have personally experienced over the years of dealing with multiple RC brands. I have had bad and good outcomes using magnets as body mounts but mostly bad. Fortunately the four screws that hold the body on (ive upgraded to quick release pins) are plenty enough to hold the body on and the two body post just help support the bed for extra protection and if i replace them with magnets than I shouldnt notice any changes besides more scale looks since they will not be used as the main body/chassis conection like the four pins im using are. I also dont really mind the post but magnets would allow a true full quick release setup. Stay awesome friend and RC on!
I've been running a 1080 on 3s and rear steering in my mini capra for almost a year now. Had to change over to Dlux axles after breaking way too many stockers !!!
I love the little Capra and It blows to hear the axles are giving you issues. Im not sure how much longer mine will hold up before I have trouble with them. Ive taken it on the large rock course that I drive alot. The servo’s are like glass. Horizon hobby sent me an entire case of them a few years back so Ive decided to use them up but wow they break often and Im aware they are just stock and nothing I would ever use on my larger RCs but since I have an entire case I decided to burn them up with the mini Capra. Ive gone through up to around seven so far and I plan to finally put some quality ones on once I start to get low on my stock of them. For trail driving they last a bit longer but still I wish Axial would not ever use such low quality parts that are brittle and make standards a little higher seeing alot of their vehicles are not cheap on the wallet but come stock with some lower quality parts. Thank you for sharing your issue with the axles as i will inspect the condition of mine first thing in the morning and if mine are looking rough for wear I will plan on some metal upgrades soon. Have fun and RC on friend!☮️😀
@deanmachinerc3258 The material at the yoke is paper thin on both sides. 3s power + bigger 1.9's+ a heavy trigger finger = broken axles. (lol) DLUX axles are spendy but we'll worth it. Happy trails.
I want one of these and paint it. Great upgrades!
Have you seen the mn168? I just got mine it’s amazing.i want one of these, 3s looks like it helps a lot.
Yes 3s really made this one amazing along with the Hobbywing 1060. I had preodered this so I have one of the first batches that was sent to the U.S. and as soon as I got it i installed the 1060 but only had several small 2s lipos to test it out with. Fast forward several months and I get a couple tiny 3s lipos and this one has been an almost daily drive rc since instead of a shelf qween! The new MN is on my list since its looks so good! Thanks for watching and RC on friend!
I FREAKING LOVE THAT RIG !!!! Going to be A great build.
Im looking forward to the parts i got coming and they all are adding something and not replacing anything since I am pretty much satisfied with everything on it. I will have to do a little more in depth review on it as it has so many nice well built parts. I have to break in the leaf springs since over time they are known to become much softer and flexible. The esc is really great and quiet and even the servo is pretty decent. I like the scale looking tough shocks too. Over all it is my favorite for quality. I did begin upgrading the WPL C64-1 but the new metal axles are gonna need something done since the diff gears keep slipping inside making it unusable. Freaking aggravating so I may just order all new metal axles again but a different brand. Thanks for commenting as its always good to hear your thoughts on these fun rigs! ☮️👌✌️
@@deanmachinerc3258 Yea i really love this rig. Just adding stuff is awesome. Not a lot of Rigs you pull out an Just add stuff. Like the WPL. Ugh, I am sorry but i am done with them. The first of the month, i am getting a scx24. Hoping they have the Black Gladiator still or Black C10. I am going to local hobby store to get it. No shipping wait. worth the extra $10-$20 i figure. Shop local. Guy was real nice said he might get more in before the first so i will have a choice. Killen me Hahahha. I think i found a large 1/12 i want. Wltoys Buggy looking thing like your Miller rig. Throw a brushless in it an peel out. I recently split my head lights an tail light on separate plugs. Just tail lights, just head lights, or both, Breath an Flash mode also,. Hahahahah Love this hobby buddy. Keep on being Awesome. :)
@@deanmachinerc3258 wltoys 12429 , Could be a good cheap build ?
@@JamesDirtRC WLToys are fun to upgade for the most part as long as you are aware that they love to locktite just about all screws (motor mount screws are the worst) with some heat from a soldering gun they usually will unscrew problem free. WLToys are good for taking a beating too. I wish I had a local RC shop! My nearest one is over an hour and a half away and I literally don’t have anyone around me that Rc’s, total bummer but when Im out on the trails I find it so peaceful to be in my own world just me and a trail truck. Im glad yoo are going with Axial since they have unlimited upgrades and if you get tired of one body you can swap it out for something new and different. Tons of SCX24 support. Stay cool and RC on! ☮️😃
@@deanmachinerc3258 Yea i have no friends out here. Hobby shop is 45 min, away. Big one is an Hour or so. I don't want to wait for shipping hahaha i'll drive. That excited. Get a collection of bodys and really make some videos LOL Make it look like i have a bunch different rigs. Good time Fun
Cool! I’ve got two of the Ripsaw RC tanks. Yours. Looks like a newer model. Mine don’t have the smoke feature. I recently repainted my grey one: kzread.info/dash/bejne/rHt1u5uAhJS0pLQ.htmlfeature=shared
Yours looks great! I love the color,awesome work! I have this version also, if you look back on my channel only a couple videos from this one, I have posted a vid on your model also. It is my favorite version of the “Ripsaw Tank” since it is more scale and faithful to the full size one. Thanks for checking out my video and If you have the chance thanks in advance for checking out my channel! Stay awesome and RC on friend!✌🏼😎👍
That sounds and looks fun!
How does feel. How fast you think it is
Well being a trail truck and geared low with a small brushed motor it may go around 7mph on a smooth flat surface. Its definitely not designed to be a fast machine. I would like to have a little more power for just a little more torque and wheelspeed to get over brush and roots a little better. For the price being well under $100 I cannot complain
Great video! I put a lightweight metal roof rack on mine with some very light accessories, added the metal axles, and now my rear leaf springs just totally sag and won't pop back up. I ordered the upgraded leaf springs, they didn't do a thing. So now trying to figure out how to put metal links on this and shocks on the rear! But your truck looks and runs great!
Thank you for the info! I will definately keep this in mind if and when i do go ahead with the metal axles. I did buy a nice black with red diff cover metal set but Im saving them for the new Toyota C64-1 truck I am waiting for shipping on. This Suzuki runs so nice now but it sucks to hear the issues your having. Hopefully if I only add metal axles and nothing to the body for extra weight on the leaf springs than i wont have that sag issue. I do have several scale bits along with a roof rack but after you informed me of this issue i want to keep it as is. I figure since the metal axles will not be weight bearing on the leaf springs since the leafs are mounted above them, then fingers crossed it will work just as well as it does with the plastic axles. Thank you for sharing friend thats good to know! Stay awesome and RC on! ☮️👍😃
What was it like on stock?
It wasnt bad just much slower since the stock esc can only run a 7.4 lithium ion pack. It also has a huge difference with the drag brake, the stock has very little drag. Since its a Hobbywing 1060 I can turn the drag brake off and on by adjusting the pin position on it but I prefer a drag brake and it will stop on any steep incline instantly. Thanks for asking, have fun and RC on friend! ☮️😃👍
With the $20+ Hobbywing 1060 and a $25+ Amazon transmitter ans a micro 3s lipo this one became a really good trail rig.
I have a video here on my channel from 7 months ago when I first bought it and I test it out in all stock form.
Nice I was looking at this
The stock wheels are nice actually
Really cool!
Thank you friend!✌️😃
Good videos. I keep coming here looking at these mn models etc.
Thats great to hear! Thank you! So far my all time favorite MN that I own is the MN999 Camel Trophy Land Rover that I recently just installed a Hobbywing 1080 and a better servo. I just got back from a trail run with it. Thanks for watching friend and RC on! ✌️😃
Same here my good sir, hate the transmission and servo, trouble shifting between gears. I also removed it and added the rc4wd 370 motor. Great setup.
Mine was unfixable from all the flexing of the plastic mount that held the transmissions servo. No help from the company either so I havent bought anything from them since which is sad since I enjoy this hobby so much and I own over 100 rigs to date but customer service and build quality issues will always be a factor when I go to purchase any RC. Sorry for your luck with it also! Rc on friend! 👍☮️
@@deanmachinerc3258 it's okay they deserve the negative reviews they are going to receive. I tried contacting them, they care not one bit because they already took your money. Joke is on them this chassis takes trx4m parts and the new injora cherokee hard body fits the cr18p rock van.
Is it just the frame or did you buy it with the rear ends and transmision. If you how did it hold up?
This one came with no wheels or electronics. I used a Holmes Hobbies motor and a Hobbywing 1080 on it for around two months of almost daily driving until I broke a driveshaft. The stock driveshafts are the kind I never use anymore which are connected with the pins held on by a spring like wire that is so easy under torque to let the pin slide right out. At the time the driveshaft broke I had purchased several new RCs and I just haven’t took the time to do anything else with it since. Everything besides the driveshafts held up fine and I plan on working with it soon as it is a good RC for the price I paid and everything besides the driveshafts still function fine. Let me know if you have any other questions or if I gave you the answer you was seeking. Thank you friend and RC on! ☮️👍
@@deanmachinerc3258 Thanks man I ordered one figured for the price it was good only paid $112 shipped from aliexpress. I can always upgrade the driveshafts later down the road if needed I guess.
@@backyardr.c.channel4732 For the price this buggy is almost unbeatable. I wish more companies would sell RCs like this so we can decide the electronics and not have to pay the high price for a RC only to change the motor and or the ESC along with wheels and tires. Good luck with yours and have fun friend! Now that you reminded me that I have this, if you ever have a question for me, I will always help if I can! Stay cool and RC on!☮️👍😄
@@deanmachinerc3258 I ordered a fusion se 1800kv the can size is 550 size because of the built in esc do you think it will fit in and not be in the way of links or anything???
@backyardr.c.channel4732 I believe you may have to trim the baterry tray a little but im going on memory as mine is in storage at the moment and i cannot get to it right away to see if there is room! I don’t want to give you false hope either since I cannot 100% confirm it will fit fine. I would be sure to have another RC that can use the Fusion in case it will not fit. My buggy has been stored for almost two years.
Looks Really scale with those on there. Awesome
Thank you for your thoughts on it! This one runs really good on 3s with the single speed 370 motor. I have finally been able to buy the newest WPL C64 white truck but i know it needs upgrades to be really good so I bought the same 370 motor and gear system this Suzuki has and some metal axles with metal driveshafts that should make the Truck really good I hope. I am planning to use the nice soft tires that came on this Suzuki on the new one too. I am waiting for shipping for the new WPL! Thanks for the cool comment friend! 😎☮️
@@deanmachinerc3258 Oh that is Exciting. Can't wait to see that build. You going to change the esc an receiver with the 370 motor ? 1060 with 3s with all that metal and Soft tires. I think i am drooling LOL You Rock
@@JamesDirtRC I havent decided to leave the WPL esc or scap it. I have an extra brand new 1060 I can use though. I am probably going to go ahead with using it after i test and drive it on the stock esc for a short while. ☮️🤜🤛👍
Im supposed to be getting the C64-1 today fingers crossed. I now have a new budget friendly transmitter ready to use and a new Hobbywing 1060 so im going to go ahead with installing them onto it so I can test it on a small 3s lipo. Im still waiting for my single speed 370 motor/transmission so i will just make the stock setup work with the 1060 for now. I also just now purchased a new RC4WD Trail Finder 2 that i couldnt pass up since it was the last one left on the RC4WD Amazon store and I couldnt buy one this color and style even on the official RC4WD website as of today. It is a blue Toyota Hilux with extended cab and white wagon wheel style scale wheels. Man I had to finance it since it was so pricey but its beautiful! Stay aweaome and RC on friend!
@@deanmachinerc3258 Yayyy how exciting. Hope that WPL turns out awesome. 3s MUhahahahaha. Oh my Man that RC4WD TF2 is one everyone mentions to me. IT is a Beautiful setup. Honestly if i had Money that would be the first one i get hehe. And now you got the Rare one i bet they stop making that one style. That would make it even Cooler hahaha. I enjoy chatting with you. Thank you for your Time. I am working on getting my next rig. Scx24 but not sure which one. Wish i got into the hobby when i was younger an working all the time.
Hi, Very nice video. I would like to try these wheels with tires on mine. You you know a link where I can order then or the name of the wheel set to I can try to locate and order? Thank for your time and Help
No problem friend! I got these from Amazon and they are purchased in sets of two so make sure you get four. Link here: a.co/d/05sV9qvv
I like the tires and wheels you got on that truck. Where did you get them? God Bless have a good one.
Hello friend! Here is the link where i got the tires, I love these 2.2’s! I will continue to look for a link where I bought the wheels since its been a few years its taking longer for me to track the purchase down. When I find the wheels I will let you know and send a link for them too. Link here for the tires: Hobbyfire 2.2 Crawler Tires 4.92... www.amazon.com/dp/B0B2JYWQLX?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I also have several more videos on this one and I literally posted a video on it today with all my newest simple upgrades like a Hobbywing 1080 esc and a Holmes Hobbies 13t crawlmaster 540 motor! Check them out if you would like to and thank you for watching friend!
Hello friend, what rear bumper do you have on? Because this original car does not have. Greetings and thanks
Hello! This was a bumper sold by element for the Knightrunner RC and I had to modify the ends a little and I modified the mounting post on the bumper to fit. It didn’t take much to make it work on this though.
Real life version of your RC --> kzread.info/dash/bejne/c6plrZemYsK3ZLA.htmlsi=gaZHbXO1s6oWhCSi
The real ones are amazing! Here is Eric Millers real rock racer and if you look close even the decals and the mirrors are the same as my RC version. (of course I changed the decals on mine) RC4WD did a great 1/10 scale version of his real rock racer. kzread.info/dash/bejne/n6qMprmwdbC5qrQ.htmlsi=SYf8vgPfhAWpt7dv
The reason I bought all new yellow body panels from RC4WD was to not damage or peel off Eric Millers origonal graphics since RC4WD worked with Eric Miller to make my RC look identical to his real rock racer. The RC4WD Miller Motorsport Rock Racer is spot on to Eric Millers real one that he won the “King of Hammers” race with multiple times. That dude hand built his real one and made it legendary.
@@deanmachinerc3258 I love it.
YOU DID IT.... That was AWESOME. Man that really matches the rig. Love that rig. Friend told me to look into rc4wd T2 . My next rig i really don't want all the problems i have with my WPL. Was looking at 1/24 scale crawlers but i think i Like these bigger ones now. Those burn outs are so Epic. Very frustrating day with my rig yesterday. wanted to toss it in the dumpster. Seems like always something, i freaking crawl it. Not like i am at a skate park and it don;'t even go that fast. Ugh. Anyways I'll get a better rig. Just blows me away how the sound matchs the machine so well when you gas it. Really really cool.
This sound unit works good on it as it didn’t require any calibration with the controller at all. I cant make up my mind which sound I want to use as it has ten different ones loaded on now. I hope you can get the perfect RC for you as I know that feeling when one of mine requires work all the time it can be frustrating! Thanks for your thoughts as you are always welcomed here friend and stay awesome and RC on!☮️
I think the RC4WD Trailfinder 2’s are just awesome! They are scale and reliable. Although to make a RC scale than you do lose some crawling ability if you want a competition crawler than a scaler is not the way to go but I prefer RC scaler’s that can preform well and I believe you do too. I bet you would love a RC4WD T2. The cost is the one thing I dont like but I know there is quality in a RC4WD RC. This Miller costed me well over $500 and that sucks but it is a well built machine with all kinds of upgrade ability although Im leaving mine stock since its good enough for me.
@@deanmachinerc3258 Yea i seen the price on those WOW. Not going to happen for me LOL. I am saving, then look on Marketplace for a used rig.
The sounds actually sound realistic. I’m impressed.
Thank you! I know the real one Eric Miller drives is pretty loud and mean sounding! Im still trying out some of the other sounds that came pre-installed on it also. I can’t make up my mind of which one I want to use yet. Stay cool and RC on friend! ☮️
I can't wait to get a Rig and get a 1080 esc to play with.
The 1080 is my all-time go to esc for any and every brushed RC build. I love the programability with the program box.
You could put a 1080 on your C24, I put a 1060 on the c34 and it works great. The main difference between the two is the 1060 is pre programmed and cannot connect to the program box but the 1060 is around $20 which is the main reason I got it since I want to keep the total build cost down on my C34. I do like the stock settings on the 1060’s programming which is pretty much setup just right for crawlers.
I got the 2 bright front light and 2 smaller red tail light set off ali, with a Mod to receiver for strobe and flashing. Installed it on my WPL an tucked the wires. Oh man i need to make a night/dusk video. heheh.... This Land Rover is a Beast now my man. Looking good,. And Runs Amazing.
I have to have working lights especially if they was originally on there to begin with! I do like to go out after dark and trail with some good LED’s on my rig. Im going to look for a set to put in the remainder yellow light holders and the two small white headlights on front and then it will be finished. WPL’s look good with working LEDs also. Im still waiting for my set of metal axles to install on my new WPL C34. This Land Rover has become one of my all time favorite trail rigs. I am impressed with the way the suspension has held up with little to no changes from stock. The new esc has made it a much better more capable RC along with the upgraded Feetech brand servo that now has 7.4v going to it opposed to the stock esc’s 6v, it really made a nice difference in the steering response and overall driving experience. Thanks for your cool thoughts on this one too! Super scale and it can perform well even with the heavier hard body. Fun hobby we have! Stay awesome and RC on man! ☮️👍😄
Can you please tell me what wheels you have on your summit? I need to replace mine and I’m looking for tall wide tires thanx so much
These are Duratrax Stakker MT 3.8”wheels and they come pre-glued to the rim but you have to buy the wheel extensions in order to fit them so they can fit like the stock tires do. Duratrax used to sell the “Summit” style Stakker wheels but no longer do and this is the only way to get the Stakker tires to fit properly although they do work without the extensions but they are set way less wider on the axle than they should. They discontinued the Stakker MT 3.8” with the 1/2” offset needed to fit perfectly not long before I had bought this set you see here on my video from a year or two ago. So I had to buy the extentions to make the only ones they sell fit and mount wide like the ones they discontinued would have, but I like them alot. Thanks friend, If you need any more help just give me a shout. I have made probably a dozen more videos of my summit since this one and I have a green body on it now.
This is THE rc i want to own one day it's awesome!
It is a well built RC. So far its been great and I drive it almost daily. I hope if you get one that yours will be just as reliable as mine has been! Stay cool and RC on! ☮️😃👍
I Love that RIG.
Its such a fun rig ti drive! I have a engine sound unit from Team Associated i am planning to install today if I can get to it in time. I think engine sounds should work well with the way it drives. Thanks friend!☮️
WoW 😮❤😮 So cool and Fast RC!!! Great Footage work my Friend 🎉
Thank you! This one is becoming my favorite rig on the trails. Stay awesome and RC on friend!☮️😃
I understand very well why 😅
Running the trails like a BOSS. :)
I like it even more with the ability to adjust the punch along with all the 15 adjustable settings the Hobbywing 1080s program box has on it. I was able to change the bec from 6v to 7.4v so now the servo is much more responsive with the extra power. I love what all the 1080 has to offer and it made this one a much better rig along with the few other upgrades! Thanks for the comment stay awesome and RC on friend!✌️
that's a cool little trail rig, I just got a YIkong 4103 pro Toyota FJ cruiser 1/10th scale and it seem's to have a lot of body roll more than this one does is it possible that my shock's did not come with oil in them ? I would liek them to be a little stiffer but do not want to sacrifice any small crawling flex either. what are your thought's ?
I completely agree with not wanting to sacrifice the flex. First i would try to adjust the springs if they have built in adjustments or even clips but if no improvement than I would try to add some oil and I would start with a low amount to see if there was any improvements. I added 30 weight oil to this one and its almost where i want the suspension to be. I want this one to flex like a real one would. Surprisingly these stock shocks really work well and keep it from wanting to flip over and provide a fair amount of nice flex. Now my RC4WD Miller came stock with low oil that alot of people tend to add more but I feel it just looks better and has better flex with the low oil level so I decided to leave mine stock and It looks great when it flexes over obstacles. Let me know if you made any improvements on you shocks and RC on friend!
@@deanmachinerc3258 Thank you my friend I will try that. I got this truck because i own a Real Toyota FJ Cruiser, lol
@@bikeracr FJs are awesome! I love Toyotas too as I have a 1996 Tacoma that I bought new back then and still have it as a second vehicle. ☮️👍😃
@@deanmachinerc3258 We have a Toyota Camry with Close to 300,000 miles 1998 hehehe. Love my Toyota.
@@bikeracr Those FJ Cruiser are beautiful rigs.
Those wheels Look good on there. Love that Rig. Having Problems with my Portal axles. So i took them off and put on the stock straight ones and with the 370 motor i got a bunch of speed back and can Crawl. Lower to the ground now but Runs Awesome and Fun. Time to go play :)
So I got the WPL C34 FJ jeep-like rc and I installed A Hobbywing 1060 and used a 3s lipo and it worked well. I went ahead and ordered metal axles for it but decided on the straight ones instead of the portals. I figured less problem areas with the straight axles plus I will mainly trail and minor crawl with it. After hearing the problems you are experiencing with the portals I guess I made the right choice?! I will probably get the single speed 370 as it works great in my WPL Suzuki but the 180 is pretty awesome on 3s, I was surprised with its performance. I also am trying to keep this a low budget build and the metal portals were much more pricy than the metal straight axles. This WPL was only $40 where I got it as even WPLs website sells this version no cheaper than $75 so I figured to get it while I could at that cost. Thanks for your thoughts on the new wheels and tires on this video as this rig is one of my favorite RCs that didnt cost me an arm and leg. It really runs great with the few upgrades Ive done. Have fun out there with your rig and RC on friend!☮️👍😃
@@deanmachinerc3258 Yeah i am noticing everyone has Avoided the Portals. They where nice for that slow crawl, but i can still slow crawl the same.... Oh yea the 180 motor with my 30a esc was Ripping it up for a long time till i stripped the plastice tranny gear. The single speed 370 is great, Totally agree. I am loving it. YEah that rig is one of my Favorites to watch you drive. Looks Bad A$$ and Drives the bad A$$. hehehehe
@@JamesDirtRC Im gonna go ahead and get the 370 as soon as I find the single speed in stock since WPL doesn’t have any in yet. There is tons of the two speed 370 everywhere I look online for sale. It must be the big seller for WPL since theres so many. It seems like every time Im ready to buy something from WPL, the thing I want is out of stock. I do see alot of the aftermarket 370 all metal transmission but I have one and its reduction gears make it too slow for trail driving and it mainly for slower controlled crawling. Anyway thanks for the comment and this rig I would recommend to everyone as it was one of the rigs Kevin Talbot would put up against his TRX4 and it would keep up with it on his channel. He would always claim it to be the best budget crawler back when his channel had more crawlers on it and I still feel its the best for the money today. ☮️
@@deanmachinerc3258 II am trying to increase my Income so i can get more rigs and Build some shelves or something. How do you store all your rigs, cause i know you must have a lot ?
@@deanmachinerc3258 Oh yeah, I got mine off aliexpress. 370 metal gear box. It was Greased also. After i put the straight axles it wasn;t to bad. I'll make a video of full speed now. Feels way faster. with 60a esc it crawls too. Just really loving it now LOL
Steering radius comes down to your bellcrank not saying it will give you way more steering radius by any is better than stock bud lol
30 bucks you can get a pretty GPM bellcrank and take out all the flex thats absorbing your steering output
It steers great when the diffs are unlocked. It was as soon as the diffs were locked (front only) style just like the TRX4 has, that there was a huge loss in steering. Thats what I was referring too back when I filmed ths. I set it up differently now in 2024. (Changed it to have the third diff setting to rear lock/front unlock) Now i have all the steering plus i have all the added traction with the rear locked to drive over obstacles. I can still lock/unlock all also.I appreciate the concern the steering is perfect now with just some different programming and a better servo setup on the differentials.Didnt cost anything lol.
cool looking truck , the cab/ roll cage look are always the best looking truck's to me
I agree! “Cage-back” style looks awesome and has been one of my favorite looking style rigs of all. I have to add some led’s to the remainder 4 lights to complete the look! Thank you for the cool comment! Have fun and RC on friend! ☮️😄
Yeah they are pretty good. I upgraded mine
Its a really good RC with even just a few minor upgrades, also the price is great for the performance. I bet yours is awesome! Thank you and RC on friend!☮️😃
It was really nice to see this Mike! These are really underrated in my opinion. Some low cost mods like you have here can make this a real trail multi tool . It’s really good at many things even though it may not be the best at any one thing. The price of these on Ali are a bargain @ $157.99 I think I saw recently. So many awesome Rc’s you have bro! I hope you have a great and blessed weekend Dude! 🙌👍🏻😎
Its great to hear from you! Man at $157.99 its the best budget crawler for that price! Its a full size RC. Its all someone needs who wants to try out crawling or trail driving first time or its great for us who like to have something different without hitting the wallet so much! Its got components that can be replaced with Axial brand parts easy too. This one has all original gears and motor and it keeps going. Your right, with a few minor upgrades and its ready to take on some serious terrain! Have an awesome Friday and Weekend too friend! ☮️😃
I didn't think it was going to roll. That little tree, the only spot you could get stuck and you found it. Hahaha. Mmmm Dodge Charger. Love it.
Of all places to get stuck, i couldn’t get it back in that position if I tried! I like having several different body’s for this one. It gives it a new look hen I feel like changing it. I will make another video with the original stampede body too which looks nice on it for another different look. The original body is still in mint condition since I bought the chevy body when I first bought the stampede and installed it day one. RC on! ☮️😃
is it a 1.9 tire rig or 2.2 ? look's cool at any rate
This one is a 2.2 stock tire RC. I do believe 1.9s would look fine on it also. I have new 2.2 RC4WD brand mudslinger tires on red aluminum beadlock wheels ready to test on it only I am waiting for a $6 special wrench to remove the stock wheels that are mounted with six small nuts. The actual standard wheel nut screws down and holds a scale looking brake disc that has six screws on it to mount the wheel to. Basically I’m just going to remove the brake disc and install the upgraded aluminum wheels like a normal RC. The scale brake disc are a nice touch but you can barely even see them on it so I’m not loosing much when removing them. Good question, RC on and have fun! ✌️😁
