$45 RTR Crawler - But is it any good? - WPL C24 Unboxing, Review & First Run

[@HalloweenFreak31]

Mine will be here tomorrow. I'm so excited. My 1st crawler. Awesome video man. I loved it.

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much 👍 Excellent, hope you enjoy it. 👍😎

[@noahlapuz3853]

Clicked for the RC, stayed for the videography and editing!

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much, appreciate it. 👍

WoW! Amazing rc Toyota! Congrats for the Cool Unbox and Review!!!

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much mate, appreciate it. 👍

[@churro762]

I picked up the C14 that comes with the white wheels as well, and also was not a fan of them. I took a small drill bit and drilled out the holes along the wheel and painted them chrome. They look much better with just those little holes. I have the C24 also, and am overall very happy with my WPL purchases.

[@DoURC]

Yeah I think the black wheels look less plastic and cheap. For the money they're pretty decent and nice cheap fun. 👍

[@SPlat_YT]

When I got a crawler from WPL it stopped working after a day and I got a new one and it still stops working. It won’t let me steer and it won’t move when I press the throttle.

[@DoURC]

Sounds like battery isn't charged to me, or maybe the transmitter isn't binding.

[@SPlat_YT]

@@DoURCalright!

[@rcpie]

Great little truck and great vid, Rob!

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much mate, appreciate it. 👍

[@bella0167]

Great little rc for the money I think 😀👍

[@DoURC]

Yeah they're decent. MN82 is better though for around the same price. 👍

[@missourircadventures1730]

Great review and test run man, I enjoyed it 👍👍👍👍

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much mate, appreciate the support and glad you enjoyed it.👍

[@edvinvenheim3455]

Epic! That car looks great for iys price! Like the reveiw/vlog!😃😎🤩

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much 👍 Yeah for the price it's pretty decent, toy grade granted, but for $45 compared to what you'd get it in a toy shop, it's much better. 👍

[@edvinvenheim3455]

[@danielluebbert4012]

I love my C24's. Both of mine are very heavily modified. He is incorrect on one thing he said in the video. The stock axle gears are not plastic, they're brass.

[@DoURC]

I'm pretty sure the brass diffs are the KM upgrade, not stock. 👍

[@Adventuretrailrc4803]

Awesome truck ! rc4wd 1/24 mud slingers and scramblers fit and up the capabilities 🇨🇦🌲🌲

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much for the tip, I'll check them out. 👍👍

[@AddamsPlayground]

I enjoyed mine and they make great little project trucks to weather and detail up! They are very nicely detailed bodies and if driven scale and not like a 1/10th truck it seemed to do very well. Can't really beat it for being under $50!!!

[@DoURC]

Totally agree, I think as long as you buy it with the mindset it's toy grade not hobby grade, its great value for money. I'm looking forward to upgrading mine with some decent suspension and better electronics, as cheaply as possible and see how it does. 👍

[@alwaysrc5352]

Sweet deal for a truck like that!😁 The truck looks awesome!

[@DoURC]

It's nice isn't it, I really like the hardbody. Hopefully with a few cheap upgrades, it'll be much more capable too. 👍

[@alwaysrc5352]

@@DoURC 😀👍

[@ultrakewlkidd]

My steering stopped working, any fix,?

[@DoURC]

If its not mechanical, probably your steering servo. 👍

[@OrlandoMisaelDiazMorales]

Adquiri uno hace poco y quisiera saber si se tiene que hacer alguna modificación para que pueda andar sobre agua o fango ?

[@DoURC]

I coated the esc/receiver in conformal coating to waterproof it. It's not waterproof out the box. 👍

[@docholiday9786]

Someone else said they made a skid plat out of a pop can for the gearbox

[@DoURC]

Yeah abt type of skid plate would help, it would still get you hung up a bit though as it's the lowest point. 👍

[@R3DLiNCOLN-13]

What’s the deal with the steering and the front end sinking down when you turn right I believe….. I’ve seen it on few WPL rigs why does it do that?

[@DoURC]

Been a while since I ran it, bit think it's the steering servo pulling it down as the stock suspension isn't great. 👍

[@WATCHMEGOBROKE]

WPL is awesome! Be sure to get the KM metal kit tho..its like night and day compared to the RTR you bought

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much for the tip. I do have a KM B16, but I killed the motor. I think my only gripe with the KM kits was the meshing/binding on the diff gears.

[@WATCHMEGOBROKE]

@Do U RC i have 2 KM kits and no problem with binding at all🤷‍♂️

[@DoURC]

@CANNABIS OUTLAWZ Maybe I was just unlucky then, but they do have videos on their website about the issue. I just found it a bit annoying really. Haven't ran it since the motor burnt out, got a new 2 speed on my desk waiting to go in. 👍

[@crashandcynder]

buying one for a pizza planet truck build

[@DoURC]

That sounds awesome 👍😎

[@crashandcynder]

@@DoURC it's almost perfect it even has the white bed top

[@DoURC]

@crashandcynder Ah excellent. 👍 They are great little project rigs as they're so cheap, it doesn't hurt when you start chopping them up! 🤣👍

[@Atmotom1]

Do you have any videos with the upgrades? I was thinking about getting this

[@DoURC]

Not yet, it went on the back burner as busy with other projects. Still on my list at some point. 👍

[@Atmotom1]

@@DoURC well in your experience would you say getting different shocks and tires would make a fair amount of difference?

[@DoURC]

@Atmotom1 Yes definitely, the stock electronics aren't great, but they're usable. Changing the shocks and tyres would make a big difference. 👍

[@Atmotom1]

@@DoURC so I know you showed the controller and said it wasn’t the best but you can still crawl with this? I’m not worried about goin fast I’m more interested in slow rock crawling. I can buy the better wheels and stuff as I go but I imagine the controller isn’t something that I can change

[@DoURC]

@Atmotom1 You could still change the electrics if you wanted too. The slow speed control isn't the best. Their v2 is better, but if you've got the stock cheap one it's not great. I've got some running videos on my channel if that helps, in my Crawling & Trailing playlist 👍 If you've got a bigger budget available, something like an FMS FCX24 or FCX18 is much better. 👍

[@mobilmobilan2023]

Its cool bro,Toyota Hilux i love it. thank for reviews 👍💯 🤓🇮🇩

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much mate, appreciate it. 👍 Gotta love a Hilux 👍

[@railway_lovers]

The drive shaft is a plastic ?

[@DoURC]

Yes 👍

[@Sparroh]

Proportional steering?

[@DoURC]

Yeah proportional steering and throttle 👍

[@jspeedrc]

Great vidéo 👌🏽

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much 👍

[@JamesDirtRC]

Dam it. Wife seen the blue one and i just Ordered it an a Receiver an esc with shocks an Steering rods. Blue. Good times . i was going to get C54-1 but meh

[@DoURC]

🤣 Excellent, I still need to upgrade mine, been on the project list for ages! 🤣🤦 For cheap rigs they're good fun. 👍

[@mpampis_o_fou2027]

great video!what is the difference from c24-1?

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much, just the body and wheels. The chassis and electronics are the same. 👍

[@toyfarmer2012]

Do you recommend any upgrades

[@DoURC]

They're fun cheap rigs stock, but tbh if you want it to be a decent crawler, you're going to basically end up changing everything except the body and chassis really. 👍

[@rolixrc2854]

Hey bro for 45$ that car looks great 😃👍 cool video 😁👍👌✌

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much mate. 👍 Yeah for $45 it's decent for a toy grade truck. 👍

Been a while since I made this video, but if it was a rusty looking Jeep YJ, that's a Tamiya CC01 👍

[@RenegaeDraemeR]

Strange. Mine doesnt have proportional steering.

[@DoURC]

That's weird, is it an old one? Both my C24 and C24-1 have it and they're both just the rtr version. 👍

[@RenegaeDraemeR]

@@DoURC i dont know if its old, I just bought it last week and got it monday.

[@DoURC]

@AaronK Ah ok. The steering isn't the best, but if you turn it slowly, does it respond, not just jump to full lock?

[@RenegaeDraemeR]

@@DoURC full lock.

[@DoURC]

@@RenegaeDraemeR Hmm, weird. 🤔

[@AddictRC]

Where’s the link to it for $45? Not in the description

[@DoURC]

It looks like they've changed the listing, which happens a lot on Aliexpress. I've updated the description, but your best bet is just search on Aliexpress for WPL C24 and see which is the best deal for you. 👍

[@Ry_Ry_Fun]

[@DoURC]

Thanks 👍😎

[@elsiepatambang7729]

This one released in 2019, but non proportional steering, but THIS?? WAS BETTER! - Moto_YT [12/07/2024]

[@jeffro5180]

Little late on letting people know that these are trash we've known this for the many years they've been out.

[@DoURC]

🤣 I'm always late to the party! I wouldn't say they're trash, toy grade yes and nowhere near hobby grade, but they have potential and are super cheap. 👍 Plus the hardbodies are cool for how cheap they are. 👍

[@WATCHMEGOBROKE]

You obviously havent seen the KM..the metal kit is definitely hobby grade..there is nothing toy about it

[@DoURC]

@CANNABIS OUTLAWZ I was talking about the rtr, they are toy grade. 👍 I still like the rtr's though. I think it's all about being realistic and what you paid for it. You can't really expect a hobby grade rc for $45 in 1/16 scale imo. 👍

[@DoURC]

@CANNABIS OUTLAWZ I'd still say the KM's are a cheap hobby grade. Nowhere near as good as a proper hobby grade rc, but again its all about cost isn't it. 👍

[@WATCHMEGOBROKE]

@Do U RC there is no other 1/16 truck on the market that is this scale...its more about the scaleness and realisn for me..i have $180 in my wpl i have all metal everything..lol i could have bout an Axial 1/24 for that price but its all plastic still 😢 i would say axial and all the 1/24 scale are toys 🤷‍♂️

[@edwardmullins2716]

is it water proof as stock or do you need upgrades

[@DoURC]

No it's not waterproof, you could coat the esc etc in conformal coating. 👍
