- The New WPL C64-1 is only $60, but is it actually any good? Let's find out! It's a 1/16 scale Toyota Hilux RTR, features a hard body, full scale interior, LED lights and apparently some improvements over the last model!

Most of the downsides are that they are breaking from the shipping and without the instructions its alot harder.
It was pretty easy to put back together, but you don't expect to open the box and see it in pieces! 🤣😬
In mode with less angle there is not as much binding in the steering, even so I opened my front axle and lubricated the internal part of the knuckles, it improved a lot. As I used it more often, the binding decreased even more.
The shocks have to sink deeper into the fitting, don't stop at the first click.
What I really didn't like is that I can't use a higher capacity battery. I'm going to have to disagree with a lot of things because it was the best wpl I've had so far, the c54 was really bad.
My c24 was ok, the c24-1 was better in some things and worse in others, the c54 straight out of the box was terrible, this c64-1 or at least the one I received was by far the best.
It's a shame that what you received is bad, because it seems to be practically another product compared to the one I got
Thanks for the info. My main issue here is it's meant to be an RTR. The shocks were off when it came in the box, so if they are meant to be pushed in further, that should have been done at the factory.
The lower steering setting, the angle is tiny, so running it like that would prove limiting in itself imo.
I think considering you normally expect companies to move forward with new releases, this very much seemed like a step backwards to me. My C24 and C24-1 were much more reliable out the box than this C64-1. 👍
That's fair enough, we can only go off our own experiences sometimes.
The last WPL I reviewed before this was the C74, that was rubbish too! 🤣
Nice review mate and great running video!!!🥇👍👍👍
Thanks very much 👍
@@DoURC you welcome!!! 🤜🤛😎
Thanks for the honest review always appreciate your content, ill skip over this one 😂 although i think my son and missus have secretly ordered me the c34 (fj40) from wpl hopefully its not this bad.
You need to get the trx4 in some mud to wash this experience away now 😂
🤣 Yeah I wasn't impressed tbh, shame as I really like the body! 👍
🤣 Yeah, need more rain for that, probably won't be any decent mud for a few months now.
I'm off to EAST this weekend so can purge myself there! 🤣👍
@DoURC haha awesome 👌 I. Yet to decide on a 10th scale rig. Then I'll hopefully come along g to these cool events. Norfolk is quite flat with limited areas like you have on your videos 😆. So I'm torn between the rc4wd 4 runner rc4wd gelande 2 or. The trx4 defender. All look awesome 👌 I used to have a Toyota hilux surf. Hopefully you can use the body and make something decent.
17:30 The biggest problem with these budget trail trucks is that they're all the same thing, very nice bodies, terrible mechanicals, limited aftermarket, and they don't get any better after $80 in flimsy metal upgrades. Hobbyists should treat themselves to something better.
Yeah, there are definitely better entry rigs on the market. The issue with these as first rigs is it could put you off the hobby. A WPL is nothing like a proper RC. But I get why people like them. 👍
Can you please maka a review on the RC MN78? (If you did not make a review yet)
I've done a review on the MN82 but not the 78. The MN82 is a mich better rig than this WPL C64-1. 👍
I am saving up for a SCX24. My next toy to play with.,
SCX24 is good, tbh I think the FCX24 or Hobbyplus CR18P Evo Pro are way better. 👍
@@DoURC OH awesome. I will Look into those. Never heard of hobbyplus . COOL. Thank you so much.
@@JamesDirtRC take a look at DoURC FCX24 camper build where he and I have a build off.
@@crawlstockrc Oh Cool. I am on it.
Thanks for your honest review! Unfortunately it doesn't impress. I'm disappointed that WPL seems to be going backwards with their newer models. In my opinion, it's a pity that this truck didn't live up to its potential.
Thanks very much 👍
Yeah I totally agree, the WPL C24 is a few years old and imo is much better plus half the price. I honestly couldn't believe it was in pieces out the box...but then kept falling apart on the trail! 🤣🤦
👋😍 Nice sharing my friend Big like
Thanks very much mate 👍😁
I just would have fully drowned it in the end as punishment lol.
I think now where as the likes of fms have pushed the hobby forward so much in the small scale now and they have kept a great price point aswell that these types of rigs now just seem so poor where as before that might not have been the case
🤣 I actually did, just didn't include it in this video! 🤣😬
Yeah, it's a shame, as there are still some really good cheap brands, but this just seemed really poorly built. It's crazy, as its more expensive but seems worse than a WPL C24 from years ago! 🤷♂️🤦
So new electronics, tires, axels, Motor , tranny. I;d rather get another c24-1 and get this body to put on it. LOL
🤣🤣🤣 Yeah basically! 😬
What is up with that steering ? That is not good
To me its pointless having the two steering rates too. The lower rate is just useless...seems a pointless feature! 🤷♂️🤦
Thanks for the review glad I went with the mn78 wanted something cheaper to upgrade thanks again
Glad it was helpful. I've got an MN82 and it's way better than this WPL C64-1 tbh. 👍
#illpass
🤣🤣🤣 I probably should have too, would of saved myself some money! 🤦🤣
Looks like this will be my second RC after buying the MN82 yesterday as my first RC
The MN82 is much better tbh. 👍
Honestly kinda looks like a POS. Total fail, seems to cheap to actually recommend. How much to make it actually work like a basic 1/18?
Yeah I wasn't impressed. For me personally I wouldn't waste anymore of my time or money on it!
It's crazy if you think when it was released, the Redcat Ascent 18 was only $99 and it's a wayyyyyyy better rig than this. 👍
Das Teil ist sein Geld nicht Wert Schade
Yeah I was hoping it would be better! 😬
You get what you pay for
🤣 Not sure I even got what I paid for tbh! 😬🤦
🤣
