WPL C14 "Hercules" R/C Truck ESC Upgrade Overview

[@jackstraw8786]

Thank you for making sense of this.I thought my esc wasn't right, got one that looks exactly like it. Now it looks like i only need adapters for my motor and battery. Got the 2 speed gearbox and a 20 g servo.

Great video! I recently got a wpl c24 for Christmas and the stock motor and battery are crap! Can’t ride over anything without getting stuck! I’m new to rc and have been researching what to replace and this video helps a lot with hooking things up! Thanks a ton !!!!🙏🙏🙏

[@rcnewb]

Happy to help, Connor! Thank you for checking out the video!

[@NordicRC]

Looking good. And thanks, enjoying the hobby is what it’s all about. You too.

[@rcnewb]

Thanks!

[@NickRCYT]

Thanks for making this! It helped me work out some kinks in my build. The first esc I bought went bad and stopped working and the second one worked until I assembled everything back together and then the steering stopped. I don’t really know where the problem is coming from. The motor works directly from the battery.

Nick RC check your wires with multimeter and connections. Saludos

[@rcnewb]

Thanks! The lights came in today and I have a bit of work to do, but it's turning into a fun little rig.

Good vid of the upgrades to this rc 💪👍☺️

[@rcnewb]

Thanks!

[@sameold77]

Which Tactic servo is that in there. The link in your description is for the cheap Electrobot servos? Thanks.

[@rcnewb]

Sorry about that oversight. It’s a Tactic TSC10 (www.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDKDS).

What orientation do the plugs go into the RX, As far as the DIY motor goes, which side of it is positive and does one need a capacitor

[@rcnewb]

I'll check my setup and will get back to you.

[@rcnewb]

If you hold your receiver so you can read the labeling, the receiver plug should have the exposed contacts facing up. When you wire the motor, looking at it from the rear of the truck, the red wire is soldered on the left side and the black wire is soldered on the right. No capacitor is needed (from what I've found).

What do you recomend for a replacement motor

[@tataconas]

Brian Longto not a pro but a 180 motor

[@rcnewb]

Daniel's suggestion would be my suggestion at this point. I haven't looked at replacement options, but a small, 180-size motor should match up the best with this vehicle.

[@justingraves3540]

What connection is it for the 2s lipo battery? Deans plug?

[@rcnewb]

You should be able to use whatever connector you'd like, simply rewire the connection. That's what I ended up doing to use the JST plug vs the stock connector.

[@qasimbilal1063]

Sir can u tell me from where and which battery u use for that rc car and can u send me the link that I can buy from there thanks

[@rcnewb]

I bought a battery pack from this site. I’m using the 6V hump pack, but one of the flat packs might work too (as long as you measure your battery tray dimensions). www.maxxpacks.com/index.php?cPath=80_84&osCsid=62qlvmg45v5hjc2uqqco0tnj96

[@jaydmef8]

@@rcnewb Hi! I looked on that website and there are many 6v hump battery. Which one did you get? I want to make sure I order the correct one. Thanks!

[@DavidMoore-pt7zb]

New to rc how do u wire up the servo for steering

[@rcnewb]

Hi David. The servo will plug into your 2.4GHz receiver and shouldn't require much work beyond that.

[@KibsRC]

Nice! 👍😃👍

[@rcnewb]

Thanks, Wayne!

[@jecongtv3788]

What kind of transmitter and receive?

[@rcnewb]

I’m running a FlySky GT3B transmitter and a FlySky 3-channel receiver in my truck.

[@jecongtv3788]
