[@MrEnglischjules]

just come across your channel. when i searched for the C61-1 i bought one other week....and only just got around to trying it. Mine was fine out of the box.. all in place. Took the shell off earlier, put some primer on the inside and outside.... i am going for bright red, to match my own Hilux, although mine is the version after this.. Over next year or so i hope to mod it, if i every get try to use it... be my first ever mod.. Oh i lie.. i have another Hilux, much earlier box shape, single cab.. beige colour. Bigger scale. Not even tried charging it yet. I bought it a few months ago..

[@DoURC]

Glad yours was ok, maybe I was unlucky, but mine still fell apart of the trail. 🤣🤦 Seems to me like WPL have gone back in build quality which is a shame. Prefer my old C24. 👍

[@Xavi_gaming2020]

Most of the downsides are that they are breaking from the shipping and without the instructions its alot harder.

[@DoURC]

It was pretty easy to put back together, but you don't expect to open the box and see it in pieces! 🤣😬

[@PankoPengwingo]

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.

[@DoURC]

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. 👍

[@howlandneal]

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.

[@DoURC]

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! 🤣🤦

[@justinw523]

For the price it is what it is, mine came in the mail just like that not in pieces like you say but the links and one front shock needed to be snapped back into place no biggie I’m not gonna cry and make a huge deal out of it when these things are just going to be bashed around and parts swapped

[@DoURC]

Yeah, but that's pretty rubbish though isn't it. 🤣 For less you can get the MN82 which is way better. Or even the WPL C24 is better for about half the price and doesn't fall apart! 🤣👍

[@justinw523]

Yeah I thought about getting the MN82 I have the C24-1 and it’s a good truck but the ground clearance suck and the shocks suck but all can be upgraded, we have the C24-1, C54 and C64-1 and honestly between those 3 I like the C54 way better, I think if the C64 was wider it also would be a good truck

[@ONFLOOD-RC]

Nice review mate and great running video!!!🥇👍👍👍

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much 👍

[@ONFLOOD-RC]

@@DoURC you welcome!!! 🤜🤛😎

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

[@DoURC]

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. 👍

[@DoURC]

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! 🤣

[@heraldocodm1931]

The c-24 still my favorite

[@DoURC]

Yeah, it definitely performed way better than this and didn't fall apart! 👍

[@Anglian-Rc]

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 😂

[@DoURC]

🤣 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! 🤣👍

[@Anglian-Rc]

@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.

[@laboite-a-rc]

👋😍 Nice sharing my friend Big like

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much mate 👍😁

[@JunKaiWongSP]

Can you please maka a review on the RC MN78? (If you did not make a review yet)

[@DoURC]

I've done a review on the MN82 but not the 78. The MN82 is a mich better rig than this WPL C64-1. 👍

[@JamesDirtRC]

I am saving up for a SCX24. My next toy to play with.,

[@DoURC]

SCX24 is good, tbh I think the FCX24 or Hobbyplus CR18P Evo Pro are way better. 👍

[@JamesDirtRC]

@@DoURC OH awesome. I will Look into those. Never heard of hobbyplus . COOL. Thank you so much.

[@crawlstockrc]

@@JamesDirtRC take a look at DoURC FCX24 camper build where he and I have a build off.

[@JamesDirtRC]

@@crawlstockrc Oh Cool. I am on it.

[@jitihuN2121]

Looks like this will be my second RC after buying the MN82 yesterday as my first RC

[@DoURC]

The MN82 is much better tbh. 👍

[@Rc_Alex_76]

Thanks for the review glad I went with the mn78 wanted something cheaper to upgrade thanks again

[@DoURC]

Glad it was helpful. I've got an MN82 and it's way better than this WPL C64-1 tbh. 👍

[@JamesDirtRC]

So new electronics, tires, axels, Motor , tranny. I;d rather get another c24-1 and get this body to put on it. LOL

[@DoURC]

🤣🤣🤣 Yeah basically! 😬

[@bencrocker9444]

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

[@DoURC]

🤣 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! 🤷‍♂️🤦

[@JamesDirtRC]

What is up with that steering ? That is not good

[@DoURC]

To me its pointless having the two steering rates too. The lower rate is just useless...seems a pointless feature! 🤷‍♂️🤦

[@user-cf7to4dr7w]

뭔 개울가에 벌래가... 잘봤습니다~ WPL 약 4~5년 전에 RC처음일때 구입 후 메인 샤프트 부서지는거 보고 쓰레기다...다신 안산다 했는데..역시...

[@DoURC]

🤣 Yeah there were a lot of bugs by the stream! With some upgrades I'm sure it'll be better, but it did feel like a step backwards in quality! 😔

[@crawlstockrc]

#illpass

[@DoURC]

🤣🤣🤣 I probably should have too, would of saved myself some money! 🤦🤣

[@nriyo3]

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?

[@DoURC]

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. 👍

[@ffefffefe8293]

Das Teil ist sein Geld nicht Wert Schade

[@DoURC]

Yeah I was hoping it would be better! 😬

[@backwoodswizardrc]

You get what you pay for

[@DoURC]

🤣 Not sure I even got what I paid for tbh! 😬🤦
