It's really cool that you are showing your daughter how to set things up. I think most parents myself included will get something like this and tell their kids let me do all the setup and maybe I'll let you play with it afterwards. This will get her into the mindset of what is involved. Hopefully she will want to dig in deeper and try working on RC vehicles. By the way this is a really cool vehicle, I love the weathering. Did you show her how to achieve the effects?

I have never owned a WPL RC vehicle or a tracked RC vehicle but this looks like the perfect vehicle to change that. The weathering you did really made the vehicle superb in terms of scale realism but straight out of the box it was already good. The performance was impressive too for a 1:16 scale machine. On top of all that, the cost is less than many low grade toy RC cars with non-proportional controls so I think WPL is on to a winner with this one as long as it is reliable over time.

I have 6 WPL cars. 4 of them have their electronics including servos, winches and motors. A couple of them are driven all the time and quite hard at that. I am a huge fan of them and this new one is lining up to be no different. Keep in mind the price point but for what you pay, you get easily 3 times that.

You mentioned that there are a lot of things you could to with space in the bed of this vehicle. I recalled that another KZbinr put an FPV camera in the back and drove to around at one of the meets or demonstrations of the large Tamiya's semis. It was cool.

Thanks so much! This was all vallejo weathering washes. One was oil and one was this gross dark brownish. These are water based so you need to matte clear after or it will wash off.

Its not 1:16 its 1:18 at best. WPL and MN both produce random sizes from 1:12 to 1:18 yet they write 1:16 on all of them. The reason to do that is reusability of same part molds that makes cheap models. The reason to write 1:16 is for better sales. But if you looking matching sizes then they dont match. Example: if wpl C24 is 1:16 then B36-1:17 and E1-1:18 while C34-1:14
@AMPROEngineering
@AMPROEngineering Жыл бұрын
They are hardly the only company that does that. 1:16 refers to a general size than the actual scale. FMS sells the hilux as a 1:18 though it is 1:14. Hell, tamiya calls the Coldbuster body and hilux body 1:10 and the hilux is way bigger than the chevy. Annoying but true.

That thing's so damn light it doesn't look like it even has suspension. Not fond of the fixed rear wheels, either, considering the thing it was patterned after has suspension there too. Might be a good project base, though, for how cheap it is. Looks to use a pair of standard mini-Z motors. 130 size. Tons of options there. Wonder how sturdy that gearbox is...weight it up, put some proper metal tracks on it, hop the electronics up, and it might be a good companion vehicle to russian armor in this scale.

This thing is BEGGING for a Heng Long 6- or 7 th gen tank controller with sound and smoke. The little cover on top of the cabin, makes me think there will be a military version with a machine gun on top. The thing that really gets me, is that WPL -despite the half depth cabin, got ALL the levers right.. even the shifter, that's SO heavy and crappy in the real one, that crews standard carry a hammer so they can bang the thing in gear. Too funny.. Got an E1 on order, but the first 2 batches were sold-out immediately. I wouldn't be surprised if WPL came-out with a 'metal kit' with metal sprockets, metal tracks and 2 x 180 motors, instead of those wheezy 120's. Would improve speed only marginally, but the torque will be needed for the heavy metal stuff. I, myself always pondered ways to make a Gas-71 with a Heng Long tank chassis. And now WPL actually made one.. in the usual tank-scale. I'm a VERY happy puppy! And, yes, it's slow. The actual vehicle isn't exactly the Ripsaw too... :P I believe the actual thing goes about 50km/h with its 'mighty' 85hp, at best.. anything faster and stuff starts to fall-off and break. On paper it can hit 55km/h.. There are some fun channels of guys restoring them. They're loud, clunky, they gobble diesel like mad, and make those sad "running coal' ( or whatever it's called) guys look like amateurs, and yet, they're still quite popular in the really remote area's, because they actually can go about anywhere in any kind of weather. Some parts of upper Siberia, where -28C is considered a 'mild winter's day' even use them as regular buses... EDIT: I just got confirmation from WPL's tech-department that the trailer-truck is a 'go'. There's a little jumper on the E1's esc/rx that needs to be set to have one controller be able to control both the E1 and the trailer from the transmitter, by just holding the bottom button for 2 seconds. Neat.

I agree. As it is, it is very plain and lacking features. I think I'm gonna pass on this one, it's an oddball vehicle and honestly, a more tactical vehicle would have made more sense to me--would love to see a BMP-1 or an MTLB but then both would need individual track links to look right and the BMP usually has a turret which would mean more than 2 channels.

The FTX Ripsaw rc tank just got the metal tracks, and those ate the plastic sprockets in no-time short. It's always the first things I upgrade with my HengLong tanks. 1) Metal sprockets 2)metal tracks ( and usually: 3) ballbearings for the outgoing sprocket shafts.) In that exact order. My Gas-71 is on its way. Just got confirmation of the shipping.

По сухому грунту во дворе эта игрушка справляется с препятствием без проблем. но если выехать на сухой песок и попробовать развернуться или во время движения повернуть на 45°.... Траки сразу соскадьзывают. Приводная корона выполнена не правильно. Венец шестерни должен по краям гусеничной ленты обхват держать, а в этой игрушке венец барабана врезается в маленькие отверстия... тент у этой машины никогда не был подобного цвета. он от морозов и солнца всегда был серого цвета. так же в этой игрушке очень жесткие торсионы. практически нет отработки подвески.их мягче делать необходимо на 25% минимум. Если загерметизировать боковые щели,то она еще и плавает. настоящий снего-болотоход реально вездеход. и плавает и по болотам лазит. On dry ground in the yard, this toy copes with an obstacle without problems. but if you drive out onto dry sand and try to turn around or turn 45 ° while driving .... Trucks immediately slide off. The drive crown is not made correctly. The crown of the gear must hold the girth along the edges of the track, and in this toy the crown of the drum cuts into small holes ... the awning of this machine has never been of this color. he was always gray in color from frost and sun. also in this toy are very hard torsion bars. there is practically no working out of the suspension. It is necessary to make them softer by at least 25%. If you seal the side slots, then it also floats. a real snow-swamp vehicle is really an all-terrain vehicle. and swims and climbs through the swamps.

Yes I noticed the same thing. They have since altered the drive sprockets for the metal tracks and they work well. This was a first for them and I think we will see significant improvements on this over the lifetime of the car.

@@AMPROEngineering So. No matter how they initially copied and made the tracks metal, and the last axle with the possibility of tension, the quality was at the highest level. Vinyl tracks are flexible, so they bend and fly off. I am trying to make double rollers from foam plastic, thereby increasing the buoyancy of the toy and eliminating the fall of the caterpillar. if all the rollers were installed as the last, double ones, then metal tracks would not be needed. The toy has very great abilities. An interesting model. floats but after additional light sealing. I do not recommend installing powerful motors. The box has plastic soft gears. Так. Як би вони початково скопіювали та зробили гусені металевими,та останню вісь з можливістю натягу,то якість була на висоті. Вінілові гусені гнучкі,тому викривлюються та злітають. Пробую зробити подвійні катки з пенопласту,тим саме підвищити плавучесть іграшки та усунути спадання гусені. як би встановити всі катки як останні,подвійні,то металеві гусені не знадобились би. Іграшка має дуже великі здібності. Цікава модель. Плаває. но після додаткової легкої герметизації. Потужні мотори встановлювати не раджу. Коробка має пластикові м'які шестерні...

Great looking RC, I'm wondering if you can shed some light on something for me since you helped develop the tracks? I purchased the already assembled metal tracks, put them on, one side is kind of skipping and jumpy. When I put it on its roof and I hit the throttle, and yes, I have the steering trim centered, one track will move quicker than the other and the same one makes a rattling sound, like it's jumping/skipping, or having a hard time on that front sprocket it's on. I've counted each track and made sure there's 67 pieces to it, maybe the gears inside are skipping because they're plastic?. Any insight, or any issues you've heard of would really help me out. Thanks so much, and great channel!

Hmmm... I have seen some that need breaking in. There may perhaps be some imperfection on the sprocket maybe? This could cause the noise and the added drag and there by causing the discrepancy of the track speed you are talking about?

They're cheap, great looking, you can get all kinds of upgrades for them, and they are easy to work on. They're durable and handle well. Great RCs for beginners, and a lot of fun to tweak and mod for the more experienced. Not many RCs out there with this kind of attention to scale details, that come with all metal upgrades, sound kit, lights and a two speed transmission for just over 100 dollars.

Garbage? Have you actually run one? detailed one? built one? I have 6 and they are gems plus I have used lots of their parts on countless larger scale builds. This thing is just like the WPL line, awesome. Take into account cost, details, and simplicity as well. Not everything needs to cost $1000 and be for the hardcore user.

@@AMPROEngineering I own one, actually. And it will be my last. I have been building kits (RC cars specifically) for 38 years, and the kit I received is, by far, the worst yet. Now, I was not expecting it to go together like an 800 dollar kit, but compared to other cars that come from China, at a price (including shipping) that come in around 150 dollars, yeah, this is was insultingly bad. Horrible hardware, incomprehensible instructions, and zero customer service. I had to but extra hardware off Amazon just to get the thing together. Your experience may be different, and I respect that, but now every content creator on KZbin is going to do a video on this garbage because it's "free" content. This used to be a fun hobby, now it's infected with all this marketing, influencer, biased corporate bullshit.
