RC Tyre Test! WPL B24 RTR vs Kit Vs Kit with NEW WPL Wheel Weights.

Buy the wheel weights here:

Forgot to mention in the video....(individual wheel weights)
RTR = 26g
Kit + foam = 28g
Kit + weight = 87g!!

Here is the WPL B24, testing the new Wheel Weights from WPL. Wheel weights can have many advantages, but in this test, I wanted to see if it makes a difference to how it can climb!
Testing was carried out with a curved piece of MDF board, covered with a grippy surface, and the 'angle' in degrees marked for recoding.
As you'll see in the test, the results were really good!

the joy that I find and seek in these upgrading these RCs are when I'm/watching someone tinkering with them. I'm more of a mechanic not a driver 😂😂

[@thatsmyrc]

I love working and building rigs as well.. I enjoy creating and custom building any rc and really dont drive them as much anymore either.. Its like a calming therapy in evenings from a hectic day at work

[@TomleyRC]

When I'm not busy reviewing stuff...you will find me sat at my work bench making things or building things....I'm like you...more of a mechanic than driver :)

[@thatsmyrc]

holly crap thats like straight up the wall climb! Ive got one wpl helifar.. havent ever ran it but like it.. I do want more of them to modify up..big thumbs up

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude.... yes, it climbs well! I think I can go steeper with a bit more grip!

[@MarkBryanRC]

Great test Phil - very interesting! I put wheel weights in my CC-01 but took them out as the motor was getting too hot - did seem to improve traction though! The B24 rather impressed me in this test with the upgraded gearbox - thumbs up my friend! :D

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers Mark, I actually really like the look of it without the rear bead! I may add a few accessories and keep it as is! 👍

[@levidavis6101]

That's actually a really good idea.

[@gabrielpichardo1492]

That's very impressive. I think this is going to be the wpl for me

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, it's one of my favourite 👍👌

[@gabrielpichardo1492]

@@TomleyRC does the rtr version come with proportional steering and throttle?

[@TomleyRC]

@@gabrielpichardo1492 Yes it does (sorry for the late reply!)

[@Terrorist939]

I tried these on my B36 and TBH I'd prefer if they came up with metal version of the stock rims. The weights increase stability at the cost of traction over bigger obstacles. I am running the weights on my b24 though, seems to be ok.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, like I mentioned they will reduce the flex/traction.

[@potatopower4026]

Very impressive! I've been working on a c24 for quite a while now I had a c14 right now it's in pieces and many of them have been used on the c24 I am looking at this video thinking I really am missing out I need to change out my gearbox and my tires maybe add some weights too! As always another great video from you, and of course it's Potato Approved!!

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude, the wheels weights and gearbox will transform the C24/14 👍

[@mysteryunwrapping9518]

Amazing

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks

[@SuperMineMatteo]

Awesome video love your WPL videos

[@TomleyRC]

Thank you. 😀🤘

[@OmniMan_Racing]

I know its a completely different car but I just put some Tamiya Hahn racing truck wheels and tires on my wltoys a979 and it's so much fun. Doesn't spin out as easy drifting and when they're warmed up they grip nice on tarmac

[@TomleyRC]

It's always satisfying when you find some custom parts to add on...

[@russwoodward8251]

Kit tires and wheel weights. That's what I thought! Thanks. Great stuff.

[@edwardbrodie2190]

It also looked significantly more composed with the weights.

[@leirameirarc]

Awesome video! Thanks for doing this amazing test. :D

[@TomleyRC]

No problem dude 👍Thanks for watching

[@RCModSquad]

Cool test!! 💯👍🏻👍🏻

[@INMGRC]

Wow very nice tyre test video big thumbs up my friend XD

[@TomleyRC]

Thank you 👍

[@TonysRcTechboom]

Wow TOTALLY outstanding mate ,fantastic upgrades and a great Test, have you tried the WD-40 on the tires yet, it really does make them grip more , try them on the stock tires first😊 great impressive video my friend 👍😊👍

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers Tony, yeah I've tried on some of the harder ones I have...but these WPL Kit tyres are super soft! Thanks for watching 😀👍

[@ryancampbell6657]

How long does the wd40 trick work for? I imagine they harden back up, is this true?

[@bradleypendleton202]

Awesome dude. Looks great

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers Brad

[@redtsar]

I was thinking the weight in the wheels was another way to prevent a top heavy vehicle from rolling over

[@TomleyRC]

Yes it is, makes a big difference lowing the centre of gravity. 👍

[@AnthonyGonzalez-lw1ek]

Would only weighed wheels in front only make the bigger difference?

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, that does make a big difference

[@LCMNUNES1962]

[@mattpakenas3111]

So you put the stock B36 gear case and motor in this B24 you are using in this test? Doesn’t the B36 come stock with the 180 and B24 comes stock with the 130? I have seen these weights for sale on the websites and was hoping you would do a test and boom there it is. I will probably get a set, just takes forever to get to the states Thanks for sharing and the effort you put into this

[@TomleyRC]

Matt, yes...this has the B36 180 motor and gearbox. The 130 motor lacks torque, the newer 'white' cased gearboxes have better (lower) gearing, so they climb better anyway. I will be doing an Old Gearbox vs new probably...to show the difference. Thanks for watching.

[@RC1oNeTV]

What a great video~~!!!👍👍👍

[@ronhawks7199]

Interesting test..great vid..

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks Ron

[@1928james]

How heavy are the wheel weights

[@modelnutty6503]

I've not been able to locate a place to buy that lower geared trans.

[@TomleyRC]

I don't think you can buy it separately just yet. 👍

[@holkerholker7920]

Wouldn't the wheelweights block the air holes and it would be better as fully metal rims

[@TomleyRC]

They are not exactly flush with the rims, so should be good 👍

[@TomleyRC]

@Rick B As long as they fit....not sure if the metal wheels are the same inner diameter?

[@didactylos4diddy474]

Hmm. The wheel-weights work in that scenario without question. For rougher terrain I have some doubts about the form factor. If they were of the same weight but of a lower wider profile, might they not work better across an uneven surface? A very interesting test

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, that’s right...as I mentioned, I’m not sure they would give you the same grip as the stock kit tyres with no weights. They weigh 60g each....so could probably do with shaving a bit off the diameter and sacrifice a few grams. 👍🏻

[@modelnutty6503]

been getting good results wrapping solder and tape to the rims

[@didactylos4diddy474]

@@modelnutty6503 One of my mates swears by the self-adhesive lead strip designed to simulate leaded windows. Mind you that could be because he bought a crate of 100m rolls at a car boot sale :) It's handy for CoG on planes too

[@SB-1947]

Wondering how the MN D90 wheels would look on this?

[@TomleyRC]

Probably look good! I may try them as I have some 👍

[@andrewmagro7703]

Tomley I need you Help I just Bought A RTR WPLB24 and the steering Servo is louder than a real deisel and its not proportional what do i do and how pls help , the wpl V3 SoundBoards are all sold out whats my next option can i go some other setup or type of radio rec/esc type pls help as i love this truck if you can help some way im happy to $$ donate to your channel lol

[@jasonsmithsrrcfun9259]

Can you post the site where I can get the new gearbox please

[@TomleyRC]

I've not seen it available separately yet, sorry.

[@johnsalt19]

tg have you got a link for the new gearbox plz matey

[@TomleyRC]

You can't buy it separately at the moment.

[@chemagalalvarez]

Eliminate rubber to the tiré with a dremel, more weight and perforate rim

[@fredtedstedman]

Result I'd say ?

[@TomleyRC]

Me too :)

[@carbonitegamorrean8368]

WPL should pay you, send you stuff.

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude...Well...they did send me the Wheel Weights 😉👍

[@carbonitegamorrean8368]

Maybe that's a start.

[@dans2423]

Why do rc people keep writing tyres instead of tires?

[@TomleyRC]

Come to the UK and you'll find out ;)

[@dans2423]

I surely should drop by! Keep up the good work!
