I will be adding items to my store all the time and all proceeds go right back into the channel!!
Ok, so I spent a day detailing this little rig and I must say Im starting to like it. The body is super detailed and the interior is amazing! So Now it looks scale, next time we may try to upgrade the electronics... - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I love how you slowly talk yourself into several upgrades, just as we all end up doing 😁
experiencing that myself now LOL
this thing is awesome! I don't care what anyone says because there are people who spend $38 on a nonfunctional model car. at least this one has potential.
U so right
It's amazing how far wpl have come since this video was posted.
Looks waaay better
Man thank you again. Once again you picked a perfect video subject. I'm sure there's plenty of us that appreciate this kind of video. I was just looking at one yesterday. Please keep it up ❤
Theyve improved a lot since this video came out. Theres still room for more improvements but for the price of them there really good, ive got a B14, B16 (the Deuce M35's) the B16 ive modified the cab and bonnet to look like the newer M928, one of my little girls got the B24 and the other has a D12 Mini, they all get broken stuff like springs snapping or getting gears in the axles to slip but there easy to fix
I like how you detailed the truck the little things make it stand out.
Great JOB 🇺🇸😊👍
Paint the door locks silver bud...have been watching for 3-4 years love the semi stuff and scale garage keep us entertained
Thanks
Bangood has a kit version that comes with a servo, I think for what it is it's a cool little project nice paint job mate
Thanks for sharing sir. Really enjoy watching. Awesome built & paint job. Keep it up!😁👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
2022 update, the new one's have a servo motor in them already. I just cut the springs to get the ride Hight down also this helped it flex way better the frame is also BLK now I really like this little RC crawler.
The "servo" is just a motor and gears with a clutch on the end. With only two motor wires, there's no feedback loop to the control board. Its just on or off. By the time you put in electronics to convert it to use a real servo, you may as well pop in a new $5 esc and a receiver.
Great vid btw.. inspired me to paint mine :)
Tziworld not any more the new ones Half proportional steering
That thing is really cool with the detail work just awesome
I had one of those and got a army truck cut both chassis in half and joined them so i had the hilux cab and the army truck flatbed with leaf springs all round
you really need figures in your rigs my friend to me its a must to have a driver sitting there thats the first thing i look at before a build
Looks fantastic my friend, great Job. 👍😊👍
It would definitely be cool to see it with hobby grade electronics
Great truck 👍✌️. Great video 👏👍
It’s lovely and I’m looking at one on Amazon right now!
Way cool! Love what you did to interior! In my head i remember everyone of those old toyotas with tan interior...haha..And floor mats! Dude so cool! Like everyone else said with some hobby grade electrics itll be a cool little truck..nice job! gotta get me one!
I love the hot rod shop..... Awesome as always 😎
If only it drove as good as it looks. The paint looks great. With some hobby grade electronics that thing could be a great little rig.
I agree, I look forward to the future of this build. I have thought about getting into the micro builds. I love my 1/10 Crawler and 1/10 drift truck, but its nice to have something you can thrash around the home.
I got some servos in today. I have to fix that steering soon.
I'm going to buy one of these and make it amazing. I don't have any money now, but when I do I'll let you know. It might be something worth watching on my channel.
+Rc_action_ I subscribed. :D I plan on doing some RC stuff as well since I have a whole farm and my friends up hill backyard to crawl around.
Looks fantastic! Really cool little truck! 😉👍
I have one and it has been kitted out with hobby grade stuff (servo)and it is amazing and worth it
Thumbs up looks great and have a great day
You can buy some RC PIAA lights for the bar on Amazon.
I have the wpl army truck, its a lotta fun to drive slow over rocks and looks very real.
Great build👍👍👍👍
This was an RTR, the kit build has different stering and softer tires
Cool video sweet looking truck
Sewing straight pins, heat pin until plastic gets loose enough to pull pin out. Delicately use razor to open hole enough to fit on shifter. Small drop of c a tire glue.
Micro-Servo ESC and Reciver ist fairly standart in all of my 8+ Rigs (got 2 of almost any of them) just lovely trucks after i got my first kit around the same time this Vid was made i fell in love and i got Addicted to them lol
First i got was Tan colored Kit of the C-14
At all … YES ist Worth it to upgrade them
I´ve got the kit Version on my workbench at the Moment and looking forward to getting the build done.
The looseness is how it gets its flex lol. But seriously the body and chassis rails is worth the price for a build with hobby grade parts
exactly what I am doing....30amp esc, 2 speed gearbox, full metal gears/pinions/bearings/axles/suspension/driveshafts, brushless motor, 9 gram servo, softer/bigger tires, 2S lipo batt...gonna be sick when its done
@@shome1289 do you have info that you're able to share for these upgrades? I'm very interested in doing the same and need to get a parts list and end cost before I pull the trigger.
@@omicrondec hey buddy, I currentl,y have all the parts I ordered, been torn between an upgraded metal gearbox or another 2 speed...I put a new brushless motor in the 2 speed, it literally crapped out (the gears rounded out instantly) after about 8 seconds of driving it. It's currently (4 months later) in pieces all over my kitchen table. As of right now, I lost interest in getting it to run, it's been nothing but a PITA with broken parts and having to dismantle it completely whenever I wanted to do ANYTHING to it, so I went out and bought a MazdaSpeed Miata 2004 and have been tinkering with that now for the past few weeks LOL In all honesty, these are great trucks, but so far, im into my truck for probably close to 200 bucks and its a pile of scrap parts now. Between the kit version, 2x motors (one wasnt the right size) 2x transmissions/trasfercases, all the little upgrade parts (they fucking add up, let me tell you) it seriously makes more sense to just go for something in the 300-400 dollar range, that's already million times better at crawling, bigger, heavier, tons of aftrermarket support, the list goes on and on. If you really love this truck, get one, but don't do what I did (and what SO MANY other's have done) and upgrade it and fuck with it and break little pieces and get aggravated. Not worth it.
Its not a toygrade anymore its a kinda hobby grade. Lots of upgrade parts and unlimited Diys
Looks neat just with what ya did. Definitely change that steering servo
You could have chose any colour in the world, and you went for the only other colour these cars come in stock? XD Looks amazing though dude great stuff.
cool idea mate, paint job turned out great! im gonna get one aswell😊 you can easily fit a micro servo on there
It´s astonishing to see what a transformation can be effected with a handful of washers and lots of time. I have the leaf sprung military truck from the same people, and I´m now inspired to go through the suspension and sort it out.
The colo(u)r choice for the interior looks superb against the lighter body, and painting the wheels made a huge difference as well : )
Del350K4 I was considering getting one or both of those military trucks myself. Did you get the cab-over model, or the Dodge cab (Deuce-and-a-Half style) model, and did you get the blue, or grey?
How does it perform?
First I ordered the M35 in grey. It arrived quickly and has the same non-proportional steering with the noise, surprisingly good proportional throttle response and quite crudely-designed leaf springs. Rather than have one fixed shackle with the other free to swivel in order to compensate for the spring´s length increase as it flattens under load, it has a fixed shackle at one end and a weird compromise setup in which the spring slides against the chassis at the other.
I "crawled" with it over reasonable terrain and liked it enough to order the cab-over as well, in green this time. I ordered it straight from China The shipper said it would arrive between the ninth and the eighteenth of January. I contacted him yesterday to say it hadn´t arrived and he immediately offered to either return my money or send me another. I chose to ask for another.
I hear they now do a cheaper version with no servo or electronics so people can fit hobby-grade stuff. Perhaps that might be the way to go - the steering "servo" really is horrible.
Del350K4 Good to know, thanks.
I wasn't aware of the cheeseball steering system issue until I watched this video; it was just dumb luck that I ordered the Kit version, as I enjoy building things myself.
It would be brilliant if they would offer the military trucks in Kit version.
Hey, Calvary - I had a little look and it seems that they do, in fact, do a kit version of the military trucks as well:

Del350K4 Oh nice! I've never heard of geekbuying.com. Thanks for that!
Quality body on it. I've got the kit version on its way in Tan and comes with a regular micro servo and mounts. I'm glad you showed the rc4wd shocks.... I wont get them now.
Always enjoyable to watch you videos ! =D Keep it up dude :D
nice tighten up/cleanup!! do you ever use washes on your trucks? "grime, grease, fill in cracks"?
Woww maizing
See if you can find a used dromida.they 1/18 scale and use a servo for steering. You could also use the receiver esc combo and the motor
I want to get the c14 or the c24 and put the 180 engine and new servo and esc with metal drive shafts but i don't know what truck to get they both look great
👌a good job
Will advice going for the kit version, it got softer tires, bigger motor, a real steering servo
Jewelry beads work good for shift knobs
You can wire in a two wire setup to a standard hobby grade Servo by simply removing the circuit board inside the servo or just disconnect it and the potentiometer. Then just hook the wires to the motor you might have to use a resistor in line to regulate the voltage going to the servo you don't want it pushing too hard and frying the motor. You won't have Auto centering though
good
Isn't that toy grade steering just wonderful. Some parts from the 1/18 Gll I think will work. The driveshafts and the R5 transmission V2. Not sure though. haven't tried it yet. For the price you get a real nice body.
Some Molotow Liquid Chrome inside those light buckets and some Tamiya Transparent Yellow on the glass would be sweet! I feel the body color was a missed upertunity though? Or, it may just be that Im sort of tired of the sandy looking color being on so many rigs of simular type. Having seen your previous work I just hoped you would go to town on it I guess..haha :)
I paid 35$ USD for the kit version which comes with a better motor and servo.... that cost included an aftermarket esc for it.... all I needed was a radio... with a real servo and esc it's a fun little truck
Seamus RBNW Sweeeeet! I just bought the Kit too -- hope mine comes with the same equipment yours did!
It will that's what I got was the kit but my axles took a shit so I'm going my own way with gear box motor tires everything only thing that will be the same is the body and frame
Ronald Baker I imagine I'll eventually be going that route as well. If you want "durable", you gotta pay Traxxas money; can't expect the Chinese merch to be as tough. :/
I recently purchased 2 of the WLToys 12428 buggies that are so popular lately. One has held-up nicely (although it does occasionally shut-down and needs a reset...but so does my $400 Kyosho Fazer, so what can ya do); the other annihilated its rear drive gear (nylon) the second time it was run, and although I was able to easily McGyver it back into operation, I'll be ordering a metal rear axle as soon as I find a good supplier.
If you're gonna be in this Hobby, ya gotta be ready to tweak things. ;)
I have a feiyue from banggood that is a mini Vaterra Twin Hammers, I beat the hell out of it, no probs... this thing though will drop a driveline if the terrain is too tough.... read:anything larger than about 2.5" But, I have them to ply with my small granddaughters
Nice work. I just finished one aswell. Great little trucks for the cash.
flic.kr/p/22n6VVH
I don't know.... It looks like a keeper 2 me 👍
i got the kit version, if you get a micro servo it should fit in there
The kit comes with a real mini servo. You should check out " rc tanks and trucks 24/7 ",he did a build video. Looks awesome btw!
That's sick, bro.
I just bought the Kit version of that truck. I might just make mods as I build it.
Hey, you've got truck wheels on that rat rod in the background on the right. Where'd they come from? I'm going to be building an awd RC Kenworth, but the donor drivetrain has knobbies; I need to find some scale wheels for it.
Any suggestions?
Those are rc4wd 1.7 wheels, they have lots of option.
Haha... they way you said 'It's bad...' when removing the shocks.. that made me laugh. But with a little effort, ( which is also half the fun), got something half decent from it! Btw, if you want a nice Micro crawler I'd take a look at the Orlando. (Though I'm guessing you've seen that already?).
The steering. It IS a motor servo. LOL Ya can upgrade the motor to a 370, add a 22-sp trans and metal drive shafts for less than $25 and it'll be okay.
eBay has all the parts you need!
It is a cool looking little truck, I would have painted it blue... But the Toyota truck I owned was blue lol. Shame the steering is so weird.
Come on ya know your dying to update the electronics, I did it on my 1/16 Heng Long and used " what was lying around " 0 $ spent on changeover , micro servo ,losi micro crawler ESC and micro receiver , turned out great and even used the stock 6V battery as to not over tax the drivetrain , keep the videos coming 👍👍
I want to, just dont have everything i need laying around. I have servo for it but no other electronics yet.
i would put hobby grade parts in it and make one cool mini scale crawler. i'm thinking about picking up one is it worth the money?
If you can get it for ~ 40 or below, then I think it is definitely worth it. I would most definitely set aside some cash to put hobby grade parts in it before I purchased it. For around 40 dollars though, it is a great project vehicle.
On banggood u could get a kit as low as 30 bucks with 180 motor and servo
😂😂😂 That steering is terrible, The body looks killer now 👍🏻👍🏻 Hey it's all about having fun right. Great work man!!!!
Put an scx24 steering servo in it
what is the wheelbase?
Can’t find that link to your other channel
czcams.com/channels/i473NvD8PGAd2xi-xmfw1w.html
Let me know how long and how tall, I can cut you some Toyota stripe decals in that size, or TRD logos
The ATR BangGood one is a little cheaper and it comes with an actual servo. I would rather assemble it myself instead of taking it apart to customize it.
that's like mine with the steering but do u know what I need to do to fix it
I havent gotten there yet with mine, but I think there has to be a different servo horn out there that will fix the issue. I just havent messed with it in a while
You need to get a new hobby grade receiver &sec & servo
Tell me about the 2 rat rods please?
There are 4 or 5 now. Built from scratch. I have build videos for them all on the channel.
Anyone knows the wheelbase on this..?…tnx
I just can't see the one I have even being used for spares n repairs! Very cheap plastics! I did salvage the fake shackles for my ftx out back mini.
Hey
M i good the you man you good perfect
Lol it's junk ha ha no it looks cool great video
I think somethings wrong with yours bud. Mine don’t do that.
Tires look like knock off Pitbull Rock Beast
Yep,definitely pitbulls.
Mico servo drone esc it be cooler
Servo sounds like a throwout application simular To a centripetal clutch on that of a motor scooter. Weirdest thing
It comes in tan though wtf
watch RCMojo youtube channel. See what he does with the Wpl Heng Long truck. Very cool, it's about fun.
1/16 is just kinda useless , it's a shame they don't offer a serious of different size scale bodies in the same or comparison price ranges , 1/2 1/8 1/10 ... This entire model kit costs the same or even less than a lexan or pwc body ...and that's with in low end prices .. Parma now has a 1/8 ..1/ 10th lexan body series that are made to turn your truggy or short track truck into a pavement racer ..which is becoming a outlaw kinda racing group I've come across guys using their Traxxas rustlers or associated rc 10 gts on a parking lot oval track , I've seen this in a few different cities over the past 15 years ..which I thought reminded me of old school back woods 1/4 mile dirt tracks .. I've ran on those tracks a bit and had a blast ..rock crawling is a lot of fun .. but I would Shure like to see a standardized scale . I have built hand made aluminum bodies , street rod /rat rod sort of things ..which is where I'll probably end up going again ..it's slow and building a (buck) or form out of plywood is really time consuming but being on a fixed income im limited to hands on . I've found that coil stock from siding applicators to be very easy to use . The cool part is that because the coils stock is painted with a pic paint I can use pvc glue to hold body pannels together . The key word is this pvc is poly vinyl cloride (vinyl ) the glue sets instantly .I also use jb weld for body filler as it doesn't popo off like Bondo in an impact .. I've also found that the coil stock is really awesome for making boat hulls .. especially scale ships .
Non proportional steering.
Lol you could have bought it tan
Tan was out of stock at the time. Takes a while to get here, I ordered it late December.
your servo is too fast not so powerful
bullshit. spend 10000 dollars be happy.
