Just got a Cr24-1 KM and An RTR for my son. This video was super helpful thanks brother! I had no idea there was a whole WPL community! Thats awesome

[@creativeexperience6388]

This helped so much I spent 300 bucks to build a wpl inspired bouncer with the all metal cj bouncer body you can buy

[@johnlaurens5252]

just told my friend who loves rc about your channel he watches you all the time now

[@ReadytoRunRC]

Awesome!! Thanks for the shout out to your friend.

[@RustydriftRC]

Great video! I love the WPL trucks. Stock, they are a bit cheesy, but the upgrades are awesome an relatively cheap. The upgrade process is half the fun with many RCs.

[@ReadytoRunRC]

Thanks! You’re absolutely right. They aren’t much but it doesn’t take much to make them a totally different RC. I love the whole taking apart and putting back together.

[@mraltoid19]

Dude, I wish I came across your video before I fumbled with mine. I had the EXACT same issue with the wrong servo-tray listing on Amazon. AND it had the wrong screws too! It was a mess, and like you I had m2 screws to use. That looks great man. Keep it up!

[@ReadytoRunRC]

Thanks! Yeah this build has been disappointing for how many times I had to put my own hardware in that wasn’t included with any of the upgrades. I’m liking how it’s looking and can’t wait to get it done. The waiting game for the next step is not fun.

[@wvflying1626]

You make it look so easy, tear it down and build it back. Pretty dang cool.

[@ReadytoRunRC]

Thanks! Sometimes it’s a little frustrating especially when I don’t get all the hardware included with some of the upgrades. To me, tearing down and rebuilding is almost as fun as actually running the rc.

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

This is pretty much exactly how I’m gonna build my c14

[@ReadytoRunRC]

Sweet. It’s a really easy mod to install. Good luck with your build!

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

@@ReadytoRunRC just did the 370 mod to my B36 6x6. Really made a difference

[@joshherrman3201]

I've but 4 of these little crawlers and I tell ya what they definitely test your skills and patients. How do you like those shocks?

[@ReadytoRunRC]

Yes they do. My SCX24 is so much easier to work on. The shocks are ok. A little stiff. I did move the position of the upper shock mount to the next hole forward on the chassis. With angling the shock a little further, it gives me a bit more articulation in the back. I can't do the same with the front because the tires hit the shocks then when I turn.

[@DIFFLOCKERS]

Do you need a ESC upgrade for the 370 ? sorry im new to this whole RC thing. cheers mate.

[@gargermaxpower2408]

Nice! Just a question: is the stock plastic transmission of the C24 more robust or at least equal to the MN82 (also stock plastic transmission)?

[@ReadytoRunRC]

@@gargermaxpower2408 I know nothing about an MN82. Never had one, never looked into getting one, and never researched anything about them.

Thnx for the informative video, looking to buy a kit and upgrading it. Wondering what type of grease did you use on the gears?

[@ReadytoRunRC]

You're welcome! I used lithium grease in mine.

[@dongrc6022]

great❤

[@DyingMorgul]

Hi!) What did you use to secure the radiator to the engine? glue? double sided adhesive tape?

[@ReadytoRunRC]

Nothing. It just clips on.

[@WATCHMEGOBROKE]

I just got the metal 2 speed and metal single speed..dude they are super heavy especially the 2 speed..but it takes away alot of ground clearance and i get high centered alot

[@ReadytoRunRC]

That servo does add some weight to the 2 speed. I haven't really gotten high centered with mine. I mainly get hung up on the differential for the axles. Always having to pick different lines when I'm out crawling some rocky places.

[@lxrcxl]

Sorry for the disturb, if I want to change from 180motor to 550 35t motor i also need to buy the 370 motor for the gearbox?

[@srinivasvaradaraj7784]

Great helpful video, thank you so much. I am just getting into wpls rc. Quick question does anyone know the screw specs for the standoff holes and the power switch holes? My kit didn’t include screws for these and i cant seem to find the screws to save my life. I do know that the wheel screws from the wpl km fit the stand offs but i dont know what the specs are for those either.

[@ReadytoRunRC]

I can't answer either of your questions but almost everything on here used an M2 or M2.5 screw. Hope that helps.

[@deejaudible]

At what point do you connect the motor to the board? The connector on the motor doesn't match the board, so what did you do?

[@ReadytoRunRC]

I’m not using the stock board. I added my own esc and receiver. My esc has the same plug as my motor.

[@band_siberianhusky]

It appears that the 370 motor used the hole that the cover would use. How do you secure the cover? I tried this 370 gearbox on my c24 and the driveshaft was not centered. I had to drill a hole in the frame to center the drive shaft. I was so insecure that I put the work on hold. lol

[@ReadytoRunRC]

I just used the same holes and had no issues.

[@band_siberianhusky]

@@ReadytoRunRC Thank you for your kind reply. :)

[@Anonymous_Valorant]

Is the motor waterproof? I have that one in my mn99s with metal drive shaft, ordered hobbywing 1060, and dumborc x6dc and a 25kg waterproof esc. With a waterproof receiver box

[@ReadytoRunRC]

motor is not waterproof

[@donaldhenke2750]

it also needs spot for on/off switch

[@ReadytoRunRC]

It doesn’t have an on and off switch anymore which I cut off and soldered the wires together in the next video I made.

[@rockman49er]

I bought some ebay metal axles and they didn't come with shims and would not work without any and they came with metal drive shafts I've shimed and got them working now my tires rub on the frame and at certain speeds the drive shafts vibrate very badly any suggestions how to fix mine now I also bought the wpl 4 channel upgrade with 2 speed transmission and oil shocks I haven't installed yet

[@ReadytoRunRC]

Yeah shims are a must. Glad to hear you got it going. As for the rubbing and vibration. I can't really answer that. Theres a few WPL facebook pages out there so maybe try and see on one of those. There's a lot of people out there with way more experience on these things than me.

[@MrKbreeze4200]

Did you have to swap out the connector? Mine came with a female but the stock one is a male.

[@ReadytoRunRC]

I did not swap out connectors. How you see it is how I got it.

[@maciejmikitow7705]

Damn i am so scared lookin at the final result - the motor axle that goes into front axle is really long and it is not supported by any hub or any other kind of upholder. Would it get broken by that? By the tension itself?:(

[@ReadytoRunRC]

I haven’t had any problems with it yet. But I only ran about 3 batteries through it so far.

[@jwoocrew]

I put this metal 370 in my B16 6x6. The pinion and plastic gears would slip in the stock b1 motor and gear box. With the install of the 370 metal, it seems like it has very low torque but it doesn't have any climbing power? Almost like I need to use a 3S pack instead of 2S. Any ideas? Did you do your run test yet?

[@ReadytoRunRC]

I have just tested it on 2s but only on the bench. I haven’t done any real climbing yet with it.

[@zachnichols3804]

Why did you pick single speed over 2 speed just wondering?

[@ReadytoRunRC]

Cause I just want to do crawling with it. I don’t need a faster speed.

[@foxyscontent713]

Do I glue that blue engine part on the engine?

[@ReadytoRunRC]

No it clips on. You can glue it if you really wanted to. Personal preference I guess.

[@RomainRacing]

This May Sound Strange... but I installed everything, went smoothly.. but when I have my Rear Drive Shaft On the Lower it spins opposite of the front .. when I put it on the upper, it is correct.. do you know what would cause this to happen?

[@ReadytoRunRC]

Sounds like your axle is on upside down. Flip the one axle around and it will all spin how it’s supposed to.

[@RomainRacing]

@@ReadytoRunRC Woowie, blonde moment much for me eh 🤣 thanks lol, soo thankful to have nice/helpful people like yourself

[@ReadytoRunRC]

@@RomainRacing I’ll help when I can. I only know this because I did the same thing. That’s when I noticed the axle was on upside down. Flipped it over and all was good. Good luck with the rest of your build if you’re doing anymore and thanks for checking out my video.

[@RomainRacing]

@@ReadytoRunRC Sometimes I make myself wonder lol, one more quick question.. I know it's meant for 4 or 6 wheel drive, but is there I power/speed difference that you know of between the 2?

And the 9g servo is better then stock??? Currently putting mine back together with all the new parts, metal upgrades and wanted to know if the stocl servo or 9g will work.. or do I need to wait and get bigger servo (17-18g)

[@ReadytoRunRC]

9g is better than stock but I would go with 17 or 18g. They are pretty inexpensive.

[@RomainGamingLTD]

@@ReadytoRunRC Awesome Thanks! I Installed my new Motor, same as yours .. wires all good, driveshafts on.. but front wheels go forwards and back wheels go backwards... know of any reasons to cause this ?? I can't seem to figure it out ...

@@user-cx9mj1rs7z the driveshaft needs to be connected to the long one and then the lower short one on the other side. If it’s connected like I have it in the video then it should be working just fine. If it’s not, then maybe you have your axle on upside down and need to flip it over.

Can a 380 brushed motor fit on the gearbox

[@ReadytoRunRC]

It can, the mounting holes line up but the motor shaft size is different. The 370 has a 2mm shaft and the 380 has a 2.3mm shaft.

[@TW39]

@@ReadytoRunRC can I cut the shaft down 2 a 2mm shave it

[@ReadytoRunRC]

@@TW39 you have to cut it down because the shaft on the 380 would be too long. The shaft on the 370 is really short to fit in the gearbox. You still would have to figure a way to put the pinion that’s on a 2mm diameter shaft on a 2.3mm diameter shaft.
