In this video and description, you will hopefully find some inspiration or help and guidance through how to modify a WPL C14 Hilux 4x4 RC crawler 🤩 This has been a really satisfying build and I have tried to document it as best possible to be able to share as much as I can... keeping up the RCOCM ethos!
It's upgrades include: Metal portal axles, 59mm Injora Oil Shocks, 70mm Injora Swamp Claws, a 2 speed gearbox and upgraded electronics.
👇👇 Below you will find links to all the products used and any extra hints & tips I could think of relating to this build. In the video, I have highlighted the all the key points to help overcome issues you might find modifying the WPL C14 (C24 and C24-1), using these same modifications. The video is designed so you can easily pause each section to be able to study each step in detail.
Best of luck with your build... remember to take your time, learn as you go but above all... enjoy it! 😍🤘❤️

⭐⭐ GENERAL TIPS, HINTS AND HELP 👇👇
Don't forget BLUE threadlock for all metal to metal fixing screws - once each element that requires it is adjusted to fit correctly or function properly ⭐⭐ You may want to pull apart the axles, shim the input gear and fix the driveshaft to the input shaft while the axle is in half for a snug fit ⭐⭐ You may feel a shim on the outside is also required for a good fitment of the driveshaft (shims best found on ebay) ⭐⭐ Make sure all axle grub screws are set correct, then tightened with blue threadlock ⭐⭐ Grease all gears with a lithium grease ⭐⭐ When plugging into the receiver, remember - 1 to turn, 2 to burn - meaning channel 1 on the receiver is for the steering servo, channel 2 is the motor connection or that of your ESC (as that has the motor wired to it) ⭐⭐ I have added front LED lights that I had spare, they will fit in to channel 3 of the receiver while still allowing the cover to fit over ⭐⭐ The springs that come with the Injora shocks aren't strong enough for the weight of the modified truck, so I have included a link to the shocks I had spare and used their springs ⭐⭐ I drilled my chassis quite far in on the chassis, I wouldn't go any further so be aware of that ⭐⭐

I am writing you to say thank you for the time and energy in making this tutorial on the wpl c series..i am currently waiting on the frame and a few other odds and ends..i chose the mn99s portal axles due to being a little wider..i will be going with an over axle servo mount. I am going to use 1.3 wheels with 70mm injora cling on's. Purchase 70mm shocks but i think they will be a little to long..this is my 1st wpl build. I am excited to get started.

Thanks so much for you kind comment! The build videos are a lot of work but I really enjoy making them and the feedback has been awesome and humbling! Portal axles 👌 just open up, blue lock-tite the axle grub screws and all screws in general. Pop a 0.5mm shim under the pinion gear then attach driveshaft while axle is in half to ensure a snug fit, then assemble the rest. Make sure you have an MN axle truss coming as the WPL one is narrower. You'll find 70mm shock too long without serious modification. I rate the Injora 59mm very highly and also these budget versions... s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_De6UL27 Good luck with your build... anything else just shout via comments or DM 👌🤘💪

[@KentuckyRCAddict]

That thing is amazing looking. You did one heck of a job 🤟

[@rcocm]

Wow, thanks! I have already learned however from a viewer, of a way of fitting this motor without the heightening brackets and therefore no bodywork cutting required. The method involves shortening the gear selector and cutting/gluing back the servo mount so that everything fits where it should and the gear selector doesn't foil the suspension links ... every day is a school day! 💪💪👌
