The oil shock upgrade on this HB Toys is the perfect solution to the bouncy stock shocks. With the upgraded electronics it gives so much more control. This is still a very cheap RC Crawler, and yes it is a little cheap in places, but it is very capable!

[@supercarsssv5226]

i cut the springs down 2 notches while waiting for oil filled shocks to arrive and wow makes a huge difference, great truck for its price

[@DustyFingersRC]

I am big on the looks of an RC, this looks good and seems to handle well with those upgrades. Great video footage 👍🏼

[@Del350K4]

I felt the sense of satisfaction @ 10:02 as if I were driving the truck myself! These are great tips - why they manufactured it with an unnecessarily poor turning circle is a question for the experts, like the over-stiff springs - they could have made a better truck for no extra cost if they´d used their own "friction damped" (pah!) shock bodies but with softer springs...

[@TomleyRC]

These cheap brands always fail on the small things. They spend all the time making it look good, but don't spend anytime fine tuning them it seems!

[@didactylos4diddy474]

Significantly improved. :)

[@brenthumphreys5747]

What a diffrence you have made,,,, totally capable now.

[@AdventureTimeRC]

That's a cool cheep rig I have been watching voidx work on his good free mods👍😁

[@danielemulazzi7309]

Ottimo modello e upgrade eccezionali !!!

[@SuperMineMatteo]

Nice video as always 👍

[@modelnutty6503]

HUGE improvement compared to stock, original springs were way too heavy for it.

[@nemocheerio]

Cool video. I have the ESS dual on my 10th scale crawler and it just makes me smile so much everytime it starts up. I've found if you mess around with the speed/response setting on the desktop program you can really make the thing synced to your throttle input very well.

[@TomleyRC]

Ian Oliver I calibrated it to the Transmitter, but not had a proper play around with it yet. Cheers for the tips 👍🏻

[@johnanthony4856]

You just modified cheap car into great car with cheap parts. That was awesome man

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers John. :)

[@julianweeks326]

apart from that and the decals i wouldn't know the difference from the trx, well done phil that's looking really good.😃😃

[@Leonslockpad]

Great mods my friend🇬🇧😎👍😊

👍 Ich habe eine Savöx Servo (SV-1260MG) verbaut. Passt perfekt und hat viel Kraft.

[@sam97eck]

Great crawling video 👍👍

I believe the correct name of this model is the zhuibg chen incandescent excite violin reactor. Great improvements, it just shows how a little refinement can go a long way!

can i just say that sound kit sounds like that big US tank transporter is driving along behind you🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@rasarc7794]

Cool 😎 video I have zp 1001 too. Really cool and strong 💪

[@rayk141]

Late to the comments, but.....Just recently saw this truck on amazon and was highly curious if any vids out on it, and found yours.......Awesome simple mods.... and seems like a rig you don't have to throw the book of mods at to make it a decent runner....plus the lower cost vs the All Mighty T**X**S is what I like. I've become a real fan of the look of the Defender rigs for both 1/10 and 1/18....however don't have either yet. Been wanting to get a 1/10 for a while and think this is the possible winner to get it done with my budget....I'm a fan of the content you provide.....Thank You !!!! ✌✌

[@TonysRcTechboom]

Phil I've got mine and iam putting the video up on Saturday, I've done all the mods except the electronics 😁, I'll do that on a later date, 👍 didn't by new shocks I just put lighter springs on it, that will be on the running video though 😁 I think this is a fantastic Rig for the price, fantastic test video mate, really done well, 👍😁👍

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers Tony. Look forward to seeing the video. Yes, lighter springs will work...the stock ones are really stiff!

[@TonysRcTechboom]

Yeah not good at all and let me know when you find a decent Servo for it mate, 👍😁👍

[@modelnutty6503]

think they call the "WPL size" a 12 gram servo. saw metal gear servos that fit WPL for about 9 bucks in eBay, idk if high torque or not.

[@omicrondec]

Great video! This is good stuff.

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude

yup, transformed it to being pretty real.

Can you make a video for upgrading the gearbox and front and rear axles?

[@jasongreenhalgh-kv1jc]

Hi did you only change front shocks?

[@steveclough6794]

you have done a great job with that Phil but i always knew you would that think is worthy of its title now

[@TomleyRC]

stephen preece Cheers dude 👍🏻

[@luisgonzaga2297]

Is it okay to buy a traxxas parts or accessories and put it in that rc?

[@Vok250]

Why not take the weights out? Seems to only decrease performance.

[@luisgonzaga2297]

Is it waterproof like traxxas?

[@bipantera]

Dear @Tomley RC did you ever tried the top speed of one of those ZP1001-4? New colors are coming already available in Thailand 5/6/7/8/9/10 and can be alerted when available on Banggood. Ne body new colors and maybe some inherit upgrade? BTW do you know max speed for some scale raid driving and not rock crawling. Thanks for help! :)

[@lifeisgood7377]

What’s the difference between the ZP1001 and ZP 1002?

[@stevenpowers9761]

Must not get poison ivy huh? I would be an itchy mess! One whole blister, 😆!

[@mikecup212]

I just received mine need to upgrade for sure, what motor are you running? That sound kit sounds great, thx for the video

[@TomleyRC]

Stock motor dude . 👍

[@kravenkrawlhobby5438]

That baby does well looks great, why can’t everyone join this price point.

[@unusedaccounthub9123]

Come on phil 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@ecrcmodels]

Hi Tomley, I like your channel very much, I want to ask, I'm waiting for my zp1001 to arrive, if I only update the Esc does it improve anything? Thank you my friend

[@TomleyRC]

Updated ESC improves control. Although you need to upgrade the steering servo at the same time, and a new transmitter/receiver as it has a 2 in 1 ESC fitted from the factory

[@robertobuenrostro2781]

Needs to have some lights, yes next mod. 💡

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, has lights fitted, just forgot to wire them in 😬

[@supercarsssv5226]

@@TomleyRC wich oil did you put in the shocks

[@MCsCreations]

Really nice work, dude! It's much better now! 😃 BTW, did you see the new WPL chassis for the C14 and C24? I want 2 of those! 😳

[@TomleyRC]

The Carbon fibre ones?

[@MCsCreations]

@@TomleyRC I mean the complete chassis. Carbon fiber and metal parts.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, expensive! It's got the shocks on it that have minimal movement, so not sure how well it will do?

[@MCsCreations]

@@TomleyRC Yeah... That could be a problem. 😕

[@vukstepanovic6155]

Hej I'm thinking abaut buying b 36 but I'm not abgreiding it so is b 36 waterproof without abgreads

[@TomleyRC]

Vuk Stepanovic None of the WPL’s are waterproof without upgrades dude

[@superchargerone]

wait, how is this a clone of the trx when it is different in size to the trx? So every other RC land rover is a clone?

[@macjuancho]

A doubt, it is not seen in the video when you uncover the body of the car, but I have tried to put the ss dual sound in the position that you have it and the wheel arches collide me ... have you cut them? to enter without touching. I think I'm going to put it on the lonjitudinal axis, which I've tried and it doesn't bother me to remove it. what do you think? Thank you.

[@TomleyRC]

Hi mate, I just pull the body apart and squeeze it over. It can be a bit of a tight fit, but it does go over.

[@macjuancho]

@@TomleyRC I have already achieved it, as you say if you get back a little forward and pulling a little on the sides, it fits perfectly. Thanks for the help. Another doubt ... do you know if you can install the ss sound sense by having the car with the source electronics? I bought the speaker but I don't know where to connect it when I open the black box and there is the area where the servo goes and the on / off switch comes out... I don't see any place to plug the small flat connector of the ss sound

[@TomleyRC]

I think you'll need a separate receiver and ESC

[@Powershotknecht]

cool

[@AnthonyGonzalez-lw1ek]

Do you know if they sell body it self or the 2 door

[@TomleyRC]

I think you can get the body separate

[@semperatis]

I put a set of FTX Outback shocks onto mine,granted it raises the ride height slightly,but it gives the truck amazing articulation.

[@TomleyRC]

Nothing wrong with a little extra ride hight 😎🤘

[@damienlim8082]
