WPL C14 $30 RC Truck. Waterproofed & 2s Lipo Upgrade. Submerged

[@WalldoTheWInner]

Just ordered one today! I ordered one for my friend also for his birthday so we can go crawling together 😁

[@sxn502]

thats the best gift to give a friend congrats!

[@jdpaslRC]

You did a great job with waterproofing it. Awesome man.

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude... got a slightly more powerful motor coming for it next. Going to do some pull tests

[@aspectcarl]

Did well :) I used to balloon my receivers on my old glow engine off road cars.

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah Balloons work, a little thicker, so hold up well :)

[@harrisonpaige1594]

I got my c14 and c24 kit today got the c14 rtr and it’s nice not to great but not to bad but it does need serious work to be good

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, a bit of work and they are good 👍🏻

[@harrisonpaige1594]

Yeah I really have been enjoying the hell out of it. I took a modified blade heli 180 motor and stuck it in the 130 gear box and oh boy tons of low end and also speed to get out of the way

[@thqp]

How had I not thought of using rubber gloves like that before... D: Makes it far easier!

[@douginnes9139]

Nice job on the video and I see your getting close to your 1000 goal congratulations on that!

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers Dude. Cheers for the Sub a s well. 👍

[@Boycey_UK]

Smashed it now hasn't he 😂😂

[@Muteddisk]

when changing the esc to support 2S lipo, do you have to change the receiver in the car to fit 7.2v?

[@ShenRC]

😊👍Submarine incomming!

[@rgile67]

Haha! I thought you were going to wear the gloves to work on the "dirty" truck.

[@TomleyRC]

haha...no, not this time 😜👍

[@Hamzamakesfunvideos]

XXDDD me too!

[@calvinhuddleston576]

What about stock? I took mine apart and I'm only seeing a receiver no esc, also are nickel cadmium batteries in water ok?

[@Sharim5]

can you use like electrical tape or gorilla tape to water proof t he electronics

[@dangeorge1253]

LOL I am getting it!!

[@SonGokusa666]

Very cool little truck! Just dropped a birthday hint to the wife that I've been eyeballing their 6x6 :-)

[@TomleyRC]

6x6 are cool. I've just got the new 6x6 JJRC Q60, review will be up tomorrow hopefully.

[@Boycey_UK]

How long did the battery last please and did you have to change connector to connect battery to the esc

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, I had to change the connector. This battery was good for about 30mins

[@Boycey_UK]

Fantastic cheers pal going to be upgrading mine in the future for definite and this looks like the best way to do it 👍👍😁😁 thanks for the reply pal

[@Boycey_UK]

Looks awesome pa that run was great and looks sweet on 2s what c rating is your 2s battery?? I'd happily run my 2s in mine if I got more run time 😂😂

[@claudetravers2198]

Same weather in my country !!(lol)

[@chrisortiz2640]

Since I am planning on buying the kit I could just buy an already waterproof servo and reciever like my ecx ruckus has.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, makes it easier :)

[@chrisortiz2640]

@@TomleyRC also if I get the kit version would all I need to get would be an esc, reciever with controller, battery, and battery charger. I am new to this stuff and want to try my luck out finally trying to put an rc together.

[@ijsbrandtdijkstra3627]

Nice video i like iT but haas the wpl c14 have proposional steering in stock?

[@TomleyRC]

The RTR has Non-Proportional

[@rcpete7055]

I thought you painted the body white & blue..?

[@TomleyRC]

I have a few of these

[@TSully2013]

Water yes bring it on my kind of video loved ever second

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers Dude :)

[@Hamzamakesfunvideos]

Ok so what are the main parts that are destroyed from water in an rc car? Motors and batteries are OK in water, so does esc only have to be waterproofed then?

[@crackedthieves]

If the battery is a Lipo then it needs to be water proofed otherwise it could catch fire and explode

[@Hamzamakesfunvideos]

@@crackedthieves Um well I didn't see any RC KZbinr talking about waterproofing Lipos. Plus Lipo batteries are stock waterproof already, and I don't think it will catch fire & explode in water. Because I had few RC Cars, which were waterproof as well as their Lipos were waterproof

[@claudetravers2198]

You hav'nt try the parafine ? You light a candel(in the wind) and you put the parafine on the electronics parts !!

[@TomleyRC]

Sounds like a good idea, I might try it on another truck.

[@20doely]

Does that battery fit in the battery compartment? Cool video 👍 thanks

[@TomleyRC]

This one had to go in length ways, but there are some decent Li-ion ones that fit fine. I've not got a link though, sorry.

[@takhebeta7580]

Do we have to change motor for battery pls can u tell me

[@STEVOD313]

Omg how funny I’m literally working on this exact truck right now doing upgrades to it now turning it into a peppa pig truck for my niece

[@STEVOD313]

What’s the odds I’d be working on the exact truck when I get the notification for this video,lol too funny brotha👍👍👊👊📹📹

[@TomleyRC]

I need to see pictures when you finish it :)

[@kylarbolding117]

I just ordered mine. Does the motor and Cervo not need to be covered/waterproofed?

[@jamesbradley8364]

Does it work for a wpl c 24? Please reply

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, same truck... different body

[@EandA-lt5ur]

Did it last?

[@calvinhuddleston576]

I'm going to get this truck and plan to upgrade to proportional control, any advice on the truck and things I should upgrade?

[@TomleyRC]

Check the channel dude, loads of upgrade videos

[@Flamethrower1942]

Use 704 glue and corrosion x

[@dannypace5059]

How do I take the cover off

[@DivaPawIndonesia]

How about the dynamo? My dynamo got burned after it hit a water...But the water didnt hit my ESC

[@TomleyRC]

Everything worked fine...no issues. 👍

[@JasonStrudwickcrazyjay]

Nice upgrade, iam using a 30 amp esc on mine from bg but iam unsure on a motor upgrade, any recommendations? cheers also doing alot of metal parts upgrades too.

[@TomleyRC]

The 180 motors from the kits run ok. I’ve just fitted a twin N30 motor set up to this, hopefully will get out to do some recording this weekend 👍🏻 I may upgrade to metal parts at some point.

[@M.TTT.]

What about the motor?

[@TomleyRC]

Brushed Motors are fine in water

[@M.TTT.]

@@TomleyRC ah yeah I watched a few more videos and someone said that, thank you for the reply. The only thing is to try and filter out the dirt debris from the motor.

[@aaronkhumlo3385]

Is the car not stock

[@TomleyRC]

No, not stock

[@SB-1947]

Yeah just bought the C24 for super cheap on Gearbest. I was wondering what paint you think works with weathering these? The best?

[@TomleyRC]

I use a dark 'earth' weathering powder with some thinners and cover it all over, and then lightly rub it off with tissue. Also use small amounts of rust coloured paint. The good thing about weathering is you can make mistakes and it sometimes makes it look better lol!

[@hjoc2795]

Nice tip but baloons are very nice to.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes they do 👍

[@luiii420]

can i get a link to 2s Lipo please

[@mlkthegreat]

Hey can u runa 3s lipo on this esc?????!!!!!!! pls answer ^-^ PLSSSS

[@TomleyRC]

No I don’t think so

[@mlkthegreat]

@@TomleyRC dangit i blew my esc but 2 is coming and some 2s lipos

[@2speed683]

Can u turn the light on and off

[@TomleyRC]

I've removed my lights 👍

[@chrisortiz2640]

@@TomleyRC probably a good Idea if you are taking it though water

[@anastasistrats2916]

What about the motor

[@TomleyRC]

Brushed motors are fine under water

[@jameswisecarver]

"Hey Pooh bear!! Let's go bounce in sum muddy puddles!"

[@dez1969]

That's cool. What servo are you using in the truck?

[@TomleyRC]

It's from my old Ripmax 1:16 buggy, but there are lots of Micro servos out there. I don't recommend the cheap Chinese ones of eBay though, had a few issues with them (interference)

[@takhebeta7580]

Battery name also pls

[@tataconas]

What motor is in there? How does it have so much torque?

[@TomleyRC]

Stock motor with a 2s Lipo, so the extra poke is from the Lipo & upgraded ESC (link in the description for the ESC) Lipo is a 1600mah Turnigy

[@vinthefinn]

This really is a sweet looking truck mate.! Yours was the build, kit version yeh? Detail is awesome..and that yellow! 👍 Additionally.. Which servo would you recommend? Cheers..

[@TomleyRC]

RTR, but I added an ESC & Micro servo. I used a servo from my old ripmax 1:16 buggy. I wouldn't recommend a cheap ebay Servo, they can be un reliable.

[@vinthefinn]

Tomley RC Garage Noted.. Cheers my friend. Hope that 12428 of yours is still going strong btw!

[@TomleyRC]

Running brushless now, need a decent battery for it....then we are good to go :)

[@vinthefinn]

Tomley RC Garage hey man, max voltage 7.4 on these esc's? Has to be jst yeh? Last peice of my puzzle ; )

[@TomleyRC]

I've been running my little 20A ESC on a 2s 7.4 Lipo, something to think about though, it may just be because I've been giving the truck some beef...but I've burnt out 2 motors so far. Going to try a slightly bigger motor this time. But the ESC has been fine :)

Are you crazy

I had to turn on the Close Caption to understand what you were saying. Obviously English is not your first language. SMH.

[@TomleyRC]

The captions are generated automatically, which means my voice must have been clear enough for a computer to work out what I was saying. I'd maybe consider looking in to some hearing aids if you are struggling Mr Kemble. smh.

[@mrkemblegilstrap]

Closed caption couldn`t understand what you were saying either bro. @@TomleyRC

[@TomleyRC]

@@mrkemblegilstrap ironic you are complaining about my ‘English’ when 1. You are not English, and 2. You don’t even talk in your videos 🤷🏼‍♂️ Anyway, thanks for watching 😎👍

[@mrkemblegilstrap]

@@TomleyRC You saw my videos?? Wow, that's crazy. Thanks, Bro! Ya, for some reason I have audio problems with my desktops and 2 different mics. I have another new mic, but after hearing myself speak, I'm embarrassed to pursue that further. I do speak, briefly, in my videos of the first time that I fired up my new computer. And, I sound terrible. Eeeeek! I'm new and green at video making. I'm learning things daily. I'm trying to learn how to just write any dialog, in captions on the screen. Thank you for writing to me. You have great writing skills and your composition is perfect. I am quite sure you are an exceptionally intelligent man. It's just maybe your accent is getting in there a bit? We would call it Cockney. I'm not sure if that is a correct term, or if it is a derogatory term. I apologize if it is. How about this? Watch your video with the CC on and see if it is correctly printing what you are trying to say? I'm bored with computers and was looking for a new hobby when, I noticed a white WPL C24. Now, I am thoroughly addicted to the dam things. I've been watching every single video about them. Yours came up in the list and I was very impressed with your knowledge, your video, and your machines. Monday is payday and I'm going to order one of the dam things, lol. I went to my local R/C store yesterday looking around and the guy. initially, acted like he had never heard of WPLs. Then, he's like, Oh, yeah those are just available on Amazon. I set him straight on a bunch of places to get them. I just found out that Walmart has them in their online store. The clerk had his rig sitting on the counter. A Traxxas Chevy Blazer, I think it was. It looked OK. But, a C24 would totally blow his away in the car show. I don't know about performance yet though. I'm retired and have plenty of time on my hands. I decided that I'm going to build a C24 and carry it up there and show the bunch of snobs that were there, what's up. Which is why I've been studying all of the videos about them. You were at my channel, so you may have seen the photo of me, in my green Super Bee at the drags 40 years ago. I built the 413 motor in that thing. I am not afraid. I'll definitely be watching more of your videos. Hey! A video of me carrying a bad assed WPL into that crazy expensive store might be interesting.

Yep got to keep that snorkel about the water line..
