Just a note to say the axles are plastic...I obviously need glasses...or a magnet! 🤣🤦
If you'd like to see it on the same trail runs my 1/10 scale rigs take on, with mud and water, check out this video.

I've put off getting one forever.
And its now become an iconic RC. I have no idea how many have been sold, have been modded and personalized.
It's an important RC.
They've got quite a following. I do like the bodies. 👍
We have a serious inflation problem, these trucks now cost $75. Pretty alarming considering this video is only a year old. Every price is going up fast and i'm not just talking about RC trucks
They're still showing around $35 on Aliexpress 👍
Probably on sale when he got it
@@jazonjimenez..02.32 No, you can still get them sale price on Aliexpress 👍
I bought one last week for around 50$ on banggood
For everyone that is still blind... inflation and shrinkflation is a hidden tax on the people and is out of control!
DO NOT EXCEPT OR COMPLY WITH THE COMING NEW WOLD ORDER, RESIST!!
THIS IS NO JOKE!
Great video, I've been thinking about getting one of these and now I think I will thanks👍👍👍👍
Thanks very much. 👍
Got a longer running video dropping on Wednesday too so you can see what it's like on a decent trail run. 👍
For the price the performance is great. The tires could be a little more soft. But this white body gives a lot of options for customization. Thanks for showing👍
Thanks very much, yeah that's the thing isn't it, performance vs cost.
I like how cheap upgrade options are too, even cheaper than scx24 options! 🤣👍
I quieted the suspension on mine by using really small o-rings where it mounts to the frame and they also help to keep the hardware from getting stripped through over tightening.
Thanks very much for the info and great idea. I was planning on using a washer or something to do the same, as the stock fitment isn't great. I've ordered different shocks with springs so will do it when I fit those. 👍
Thanks very much for the comment. 👍
@@DoURC nice! I'm excited to see the build progression and what all adventures you have lined up!!
@skribzonwhalz8007 Thanks very much, parts have started arriving, so will be updates soon. 👍
I got one and ran the piss out of it for a couple of months stock. The stock gearbox gave up. I got the 370 two speed and that has been good for a while now, going strong. Put the metal axles and links on it. Had to replace the steering servo recently. Also got the RES v3 electronics . They make the low speed crawl control really good, very predictable. It’s a lot of fun.
That's some really useful info, thanks very much. I don't have high expectations for it, just see how it goes and what it's like with upgrades. I was considering the two speed but may just go 370 single speed. I've ordered portals, new shocks and wheels and tyres already as the first upgrades. 👍
Thanks very much for watching and commenting. 👍
I love that rc. I just recently did my own review of it, its also my first crawler as ive always been an rc basher before. I dont know if it was my best review, but it was the most fun I've had doing a review so far. Nice job on yours btw. Great video!
They're super cheap fun aren't they. Not the best crawler by far, but a cheap entry level and lots of upgrades available too, to make it better. 👍
Im pretty new and ordered similar items just wondering if most name brand upgrades fit scale to scale or are they mostly proprietary ? / certain "off brand" parts ?
@@midgemaniaflyfishing they are mostly proprietary, some parts do fit brand to brand though, but I'm not sure if on this RC. But this crawler does have a lot of upgrades available to it, an impressive amount at that.
Thx man for showing just bought one for 40 bucks so we'll see how it will perform with my other rc
Excellent, hope you enjoy it. I'll be upgrading mine soon to see how much better it is. 👍
I’d say it’s well worth 50$ just from watching your video. It surprised me for sure. As a trail truck I’d definitely get one then maybe experiment with it .
Yeah, for $50 it seems decent. Plus upgrades are cheap and plenty of them. I've got a trail, mud and water run dropping tomorrow, so you can see what it's like on a trail my 1/10 scale rigs would normally do. 👍
I have a C-14; C24-1 with a C54 body; C44KM; D-12. For the money,they really are quite decent little rigs,which you can upgrade as much or as little as you wish.
Sounds like a nice collection you've got there. 👍
Yeah I was surprised how well the rtr performed for the money. I've taken it mudding, deep water and trail runs. 👍
Thanks for sharing. Great review. I’ve Just bought one for a red sands of outback Australia. Keen to see how it goes
Thanks very much 👍
Hope you enjoy it. Tbf they're not bad fir the money, definitely toy grade, but better than other cheap stuff you'd get in a shop. Lots of upgrades available too. 👍
Cool RC and great build, nice run
Thanks very much 👍
I have toyed with the idea of getting one mostly to just strip it all down and weather it and dent it up to make it look like a proper old truck running around in the woods! At around 50 it is kind of hard to resist!!
Yeah, it's a decent hardbody and could look really cool with some weathering etc and accessories. You can get it even cheaper than $50 too! Tbh so far I've found the one 650mah battery lasts long enough for a little trail run. Plus it's so small you can just carry it home! 🤣
I've got a proper trail run video dropping on Wednesday, so hopefully that will give a better idea what it's like on a proper trail run with mud and water. 👍
For a while you could not get a decent RC that was anything close to a scale accurate representation of a vehicle.
Not at this level anyway.
Surprisingly good, stock. Had mine a while, all I've done to it is add 7 grams of copper wire to each wheel. Lowers the centre of gravity brilliantly. The o rings help with the rattle. ❤
Yeah I was really surprised, I've used mine for mudding too and still works. Still need to upgrade mine, as want to change electronics and suspension. 👍
@@DoURCI put the 370 motor in mine with the upgraded electronics and the 2 speed transmission, I also put on 1/12 scale wheels and have metal axles, steering links, control arms, driveshafts, and better springs on the way
@@ScripterHavenDo you have images or a parts list? I want smaller wheels, more scale.
should do an upgrade video, see what motor you can fit, if you can add a differect esc ect
Yeah still on my list to do, but been busy with other projects. 👍
@DoURC yeah nice. Ive just brought one. Trying to get back into rcs, use to have HSP, Seen this and thought looks decent and cheap
Very nice wpl c24-1, i like it👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks very much. 👍
Got one of the originals it was a kit, now has all metal parts and single speed gearbox with brushless motor and spectrum reciver. Working on a patina paint job now
Nice, sounds like a little beast. What brushless motor you running? 👍
@@DoURC il have to check it is an Amazon one comes with motor and esc
@trevordurham8043 Ah ok, thanks. 👍😎
I have one and there OUTSTANDING
Cool, for the money they're good fun. 👍
I love your channel ❤️❤️
Thanks very much, glad you enjoying the content and I appreciate the support. 👍
Like you I have a lot of very good crawlers most 1:10 scale but there’s something about these little trucks I don’t expect it to an incredible climber but I bet with some mods it would be a much better performer I do see they have all metal chassis that match the body for under $200 I don’t think it has electronics but it comes with the wheels carbon chassis rails & every part is metal it’s super high quality.
Yeah, they're super cheap and tbh not too shabby for the price, as you say upgrades are cheap too. I haven't managed to get around to it yet, but will be upgrading it soon to see how cheaply it can be made closer to hobby grade. 👍
Mine is 6x6 needs tweaks but is fun. Sadly my gearbox wasn't great out of box and wouldn't drive over a hand on the floor
Got to love a 6x6. 👍
Yeah I found the little motor struggled with obstacles without some wheel speed. I'd like to try the 370 motor and see what that's like. 👍
this is a very nice pickup truck👌🎶😆
Thanks very much 👍😎
@@DoURC 😆👍
WPL is the best affordable choice
🔵🔵🔵👍👍👍😀😀😀🔵🔵🔵
I took it for a mud run and proper trail run the other day and I was surprised how well it did. Yes it's cheap and out the box not amazing, but definitely worth considering if you're just looking for something cheap or say something for the kids to get them into the hobby. 👍
Thanks very much for watching and commenting. 👍
Pretty late to this video but i really want one of these. I think a body it super cool looking. Probably a really fun trail rig. I want to paint it and make i look rusted and weathered
They are cool little rigs, definitely need some upgrades though. 👍
If you check out my Whats on the Bench playlist, I did just that to mine, weathered it. 👍
I'm new here to subscribe your channel bro 👍👍 good content
Thanks very much and welcome to the channel. Appreciate the sub. 👍😎
Are there softer tires for it? I just ordered one and the reviews said the tires would need upgrading. I just don’t know where to look.
Yeah there are options specifically for it, or you could fit some bigger mini crawlers tyres for 1.0 wheels from the likes of Injora, LGRP etc. Just measure them up first.
If you check out my Whats on the Bench playlist and did talk about some upgrades. It's still an ongoing project for me atm. 👍
Yo lo e querido comprar Pero aún no lo e echo un enorme abrazo mi hermano felíz día saludo desde Algeciras Cádiz España un cordial saludo 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks very much. 👍
I was surprised how ok it was and I really like the hardbody. 👍
Verry nice
Thanks very much 👍
For $50 I was surprised how decent it was. 👍
I bought 3 of these since its cheap its good to abuse but not that good for investment. Its good if you're just starting getting hooked on rc since its cheap I guess.
Yeah, it's just interesting to see what the really cheap stuff is like compared to other brands. As with most things in life, you can throw money at anything and make it better if you want too. 👍
Did you find any fixes for the issues at the end of the video? Like the gear box motor tyres etc??
I changed the wheels and tyres, but otherwise it's still stock. Project got sidelined for a while. You can get the 370 motor with 2 speed gearbox though, which I have sat on my shelf! 🤣🤦
The rtr electronics suck in these, but they’re a good platform to modify..
Yeah. I haven't tried their V3 electronics yet but maybe they're better? Yeah definitely seems like a decent starting platform, especially for kids or if you're looking for a cheap hardbody. 👍
I'm going to modify it and see how good it can be on the cheap, then compare to my other rigs. 👍
Can you please tell
Me what the 3 pin plugs used on these cars and their batteries are actually called ? Thanks
Mine is a 2 pin black plug, which is a JST SM connector. If you look on WPL Toys website under Wires and Connectors, it lists all the connections they use and you can buy them too. Hope that helps. 👍
@@DoURC thank you 👍
All scale RC people just generally seem nicer than people of the general British public.
🤣 I'll take that as you're saying I'm a nice person..thanks. 🤣👍😁
is there an option to change wheels? is yes whats the size?
You can change the wheels yeah. Not sure on size, but you either need hex adapters to use different wheels or get ones specific for WPL or MN. 👍
I have the C24-1 Kit metal. It has a 380 2 speed gearbox and metal portal axels..its night and day compared to the RTR
Thanks very much, I was looking at the KM version, but wanted to try the cheaper rtr too. Good to know the KM is better. 👍
@@DoURC i made the mistake of buying an RTR too for my son..its alot cheaper to get KM then do it yourself
@cannabisoutlawz894 Yeah I would imagine so, I like tinkering though and wanted to see the difference and see what upgrades would make a noticeable difference. Its very much a toy grade RC, even my KM B16 I would class as toy grade really compared to hobby grade RC'S. 👍
It's fun to try different stuff though and I like the 1/16 scale size. 👍
@@DoURC yes,they're both good trucks was just saying its cheaper..and they are definitely not full hobby grade..but for the price you cant beat the performance..happy trailing bro
@cannabisoutlawz894 Yeah totally agree, for the price they're a cool ornament at least! 🤣
I'm really enjoying using them, plus it's given me a chance to try other things like weathering, I would have been less inclined to do on my expensive rigs. 👍
What’s the biggest battery you can put in it?
I haven't tried any others yet, as still running all stock. There's quite a lot of space in there though and as they're quite light, the stock battery lasts quite long. 👍
It takes less than 30 usd
(Sorry, its 30 instead of 20.)
in China. I have played for several kilometres, pretty good.
Oh wow, even cheaper. Excellent 👍😎
I live on the beach will sand get all up in ghe gears and stuff?
Yeah, sand and salt water destroys RC's. If you run it at the beach, make sure you wash it with clean water straight after, but it'll still eat away at it.
@@DoURC eat away at it? Dang it
@yt_nutsaggar Yeah, salt water and sand is not your friend. 👍
Aliexpress $38! Free and fast shipping. Only till Sept 3rd 2023. Just bought mine.
Thanks for the tip. 👍😎
Oh! What is the difference between a C14 and a C24? ty
Different bodies 👍
Put in a lift kit, and put agricultural tires on it. Extra Soft Compound.
Thanks very much. I've changed the wheels and tyres now and I was going to try some portal axles first. 👍
Do aliexpress ship lithium battery’s to uk??
Yeah I've had no issues. I've ordered this and a few other RC's with batteries included. 👍
hi, may i ask where that noise is coming from? is it normal on every rc cars? or just the wpl c24?
thank you
It's the motor, every RC is different and the WPL ones are quite noisy. Brushed Motors are generally louder than brushless. Hope that helps. 👍
thank you
@@DoURC
@@DoURCcan you put a motor in it that less noisy? Thinking about buying one. It’s just that the motor is noisy
@jesseshelden6420 Potentially yeah. This is the smaller single speed motor, you can get a bigger motor and 2 speed. 👍
@@DoURC so what we can hear is a brushed motor? I just got a bit different truck but have the same annoying noise.
Max speed of this car out of the box?
Does it reach 5 km/h or less?
Thank you
Not sure on max speed, it's quite slow as its a crawler. If you get the 2 speed it'll be quicker. 👍
Thank you
Yo whats better the wpl or the mn82
I would say the MN82, it costs a bit more, but performs better imo. 👍
Can the parts be upgraded?
Yeah there's lot of upgrade options from WPL and others. 👍
Picked one up for $30
Nice, they are super cheap. 👍
Upgrades are cheap too. 👍
Are you able to change the body?
Yeah you can, it's just held on with screws. 👍
Thanks I may be getting one on my bday
Do you know if you can get landrover discovery td5 body's
Great free mod. Cut a little bit the springs inside the shocks for make the car less bouncier and better flex
Thanks very much, great tip. 👍
I'm going to try some Injora shocks intended for a TRX4M and see what they're like. 👍
I got mine off Amazon tho
Nice, so many places to get them cheaper than from WPL themselves 👍
Toy grade or hobby grade?
Toy grade 👍
I bought mine 35dollas
Awesome, they are super cheap. 👍
It won’t make it up that bank, it only has a stock 22re motor in it 🤷🏽♂️
Had to give it a try though. 👍
Plus the stock tyres aren't great. 😬
Great office toy...knock some shit over and start climbing
🤣👍
These used to be 25$😭
I think it depends on location, I'm in the UK, so that price includes tax and shipping. 👍
is it water proof?
No, but if you coat the esc in conformal coating it will be. 👍
@@DoURC aw, also interested tip
@@DoURC hi! What does esc stand for? ty
@MrKembleGilstrap Electronic Speed Controller, its what controls the motor. 👍
@@DoURC Wow, thanks Bro!
Is that just another name for a printed circuit board, or is it a whole separate thingie?
I really like this truck.
I'm currently doing some mad scientist stiff to some old R/C trucks that I have. I robbed a 9.6v battery pack from one and three 3.2v batteries from two others. Then, I made another battery pack out of those 3.2s. So, I wired them in series(19.2v) and put both packs in a little 3.2v truck. It didn't work. I did feel one component on the circuit board was really hot, as it hurt like hell when I touched it by accident, lol.
I'm going to buy a whole new bigger truck and add one of these packs to what it came with. I guess that I could wire it in parallel and the charge would last longer, but where's the fun in that? It's going to be 19.2V baby! It should jump straight up in the air, or the fire department will stop by, lol
Good aestethic, but it's pretty mediocre mechanics.
I agree, but you're only paying $50 so can't expect much really! 🤣👍
@@DoURC U'r rite.
