WPL B36 Ural, single speed all metal Gearbox test! Awesome Torque!

Finally fitted the All metal Single Speed gearbox to the WPL B36. This thing has a lot of torque now. Not the fastest of trucks, but the power is right where you need it! I'm going to try and fit a brushless motor to this truck, maybe the first Brushless WPL B36!
This kit will fit all the WPL trucks, and the JJRC, Fayee etc..
These cheap RC trucks are so much fun! And so many upgrades for them, they just keep getting better!

What a spectacular difference your changes have made to this vehicle! What you´ve built is nothing less than a "disappointment-free" WPL! The two-speed gearbox is fun, but the metal one carries that strength through from the axles and props to give a truly sound drivetrain, the weights have dealt with the roly-poly problem and the soft tyres really do their stuff. This is now undeniably hobby-grade : )

[@TomleyRC]

I can't think of anything else it needs now....apart from the 'New' centre Axle WPL have just made, it reduces the torque twist to pretty much nothing on that centre one. Now....they "may" be sending me some pre-sale items to test, so who knows..I may get one! Cheers for watching...as always 👍

[@semperatis]

[@MarkBryanRC]

Excellent video mate! Those upgrades seem to have done the trick - personally I do prefer the scale speed, and as you say, it sure pulls through the mud, sand and water in style! :-)

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, I prefer scale speeds. It's sometimes fun to go a bit mad, but on things like this, you really need the scale speeds.

[@redtsar]

Can’t wait to see how it performs with the 2-speed upgrade Cute lil helper btw

[@mraltoid19]

Awesome! I did the same motor upgrade on mine. I was new to the hobby and when I first put it in all the gears got loose and it just stopped working. I then discovered this liquid called "loctite" and took apart the motor and measures the shafts and put in the grub screws again using this "loctite" stuff. Let that stuff dry overnight. Then I stuff the motor with water-proof grease sealed it up and then re-installed in in my B36. Wow, this motor is great! Also, thank you for the heads up that the 2-speed has plastic gears, I was going to use a 2-speed in my EAT-001 (when that amazing 180 motor eventually burns out) or in the Q60, but I think I'll do the dual-370's that you did in another video. That was nice!

Brushed motors a fine with a bit of water :)

[@keithkindler6976]

Have you ever considered going brushless with that gear box ? You’d get the speed and the low end torque you want with out having to go to a 2 speed gear box . You can get them on eBay with the brushes motor already in them . Love your videos they keep me thinking on how to make my stuff better.

[@TomleyRC]

I've seen brushless set ups, I prefer the new WPL C34/C44 gearbox now, that would be good brushless!

[@AnthonyGonzalez-lw1ek]

I would try the 7mm conversion and put 1 inch , 1.2 tires for better grip , injora has some for the scx 24

[@MinutemanOutdoors]

So was this waterproof out of the box or did you have to waterproof it?

[@TomleyRC]

I running a waterproof Quicrun ESC....Servos usually last a little while under water.

[@panzerrjcb]

Hi mate, i just purchased a 370 motor for my Ural truck, but i have a question: Its really mandatory to buy the metal drive train like you did? or i can use the truck with the new 370 motor but keep the stock plastic ones? Thanks in advance

[@TomleyRC]

If you use the plastic ones, make sure you glue them...or put a little screw in to help hold them on. The 370 has a lot of Torque, so it may break them quite easily!

[@Terrorist939]

I can't wait for the new middle drive shaft that should improve the trucks climbing ability by a lot, weird thing though I never chewed through the gears on my 2 speed gearbox.

[@TomleyRC]

I think i was a bit to heavy handed with the throttle 🙄....the new middle axle should make a big difference.

[@qbdiamond5898]

Hi Tomley 🤠👍 I don't know if you have made a tutorial on the transmitter and receivers you use. The transmitter you use, how many trucks will it store 🤔?

[@jpdconcepts]

1# do you think aluminum axle cases would help? ( as far as keeping it planted) 2# would a larger/more powerful ESC help with low-end punch? one of your best running videos yet in my opinion... water crossing shots were awesome... thank you for the videos.

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude, I think the weight lower down is a big plus, and with the added weight I've put in it, the thing is pretty stable! (even though it still wobbles about lol). I think the Quickrun ESC in it has enough to give it full power. If I can find a better 370 motor I'll defiantly be trying it again! Cheers for support, this new area I've found has some really nice trailing spots! More to come!

[@wynnful]

Hi Tomley. I have a question. What do you think the rpm is for that reduction gear box?

[@TomleyRC]

Good question....I'm not sure! Sorry.

[@TheActionBastard]

I know I am late to the party, but is there ANY idea what RPM/torque/gear ratio those 370s usually come with? I realize they're all probably a little different, but it does look like they have all used a similar spec motor and gearbox. If I'm going to replace this thing I'd kind of like to know what I am replacing rather than blindly guess with new motors until one works better. Sure, that'd work, but it would cost a ton and be annoying.

[@TomleyRC]

hmmm, I first thought they were all pretty much the same. But I ordered another metal single speed and it was probably around 30% faster. Some of the listings actually give you the RPM

[@OCKOMUS]

Outside of one being a kit, and the other the Ready to roll. What's the difference between the 2? For a couple dollars more you get the ESC,receiver board,Transmitter,battery and charger on the RTR. Is there a reason to get the kit besides just building it?

[@TomleyRC]

On the B36...there is no real advantage to the Kit...apart from softer tyres. RTR is good value for money!

[@milesjamieson8323]

Oh and for the B-36 are there any other alternatives for the metal gear box cus their out of stock

[@TomleyRC]

Metal 2 speed is good apparently

[@ValleyRC]

Massive improvement, isn't it? It made me realise just how much the stock 180 was struggling on mine. Did your new gearbox come into contact with the rear cab on yours? The top speed isn't high but it just feels unstoppable compared to the stock setup!

[@TomleyRC]

I had to cut some of the rear comms floor, and a little off the cab yes

[@ValleyRC]

@@TomleyRC OK glad wasn't just me 🤣

The new Single speed from the C34/C44 is really good. But for this i'd say the 2 speed is better, as long as you don't put to much strain on it.

[@panzerrjcb]

I ordered this motor to upgrade my Wpl b 36, but unfortunetly its plagued with problems. Since day 1 ( test drive day ) after 20-30 minutes run time the metal gears inside the transmission box are constantly getting loose ( the drive shafts stop spinning but i can hear the gears inside working ). After an uncountable number of other run times, screws and unscrews to solve the problem ( with no avail ), i decided to glue the gears, but the problems still persist. im planning to keep the truck for decoration on my shelf

[@TomleyRC]

Interesting that you say that. I had the same problem with mine. It seemed that after a few runs it then started to struggle with any kind of resistance and would just not go. I changed the motor...ESC...rebuilt the axels and nothing worked. So I bought an new Gearbox and that fixed the issue. But for how long I don’t know. I think it maybe that the bearing cups are slightly to big and it wears them a little with all the movement, and then after a while as there is so much play, it locks up under load....that’s my theory anyway!

[@panzerrjcb]

@@TomleyRC thx for the anwer mate, im glad im not the only "unlucky" one. I swear if i dont solve this issue ill use the truck as a home decor. My father has a JQQ "whatever" ZiL truck, and the stock motor died after a few runs. Its safe to say we will not buy anything from those companies again.

[@TomleyRC]

I pretty much upgrade them straight out the box. I've yet to burn out a motor on any. The 130 motors are not really worth the hassle as they are underpowered. My B36 is causing me the most issues, but then again, I do give it more abuse than it is designed for :)

[@CoffeeHobby]

If I want more speed on my B36 on the single speed gearbox, will it handle a harder running motor? Or can you remove the reduction gear on the transmission?

[@TomleyRC]

There have been others that fitted a Brushless to this metal gearbox, with and without thw reduction. I've not done it myself though sorry.
