These extras are good for the hobby and shows there is still interrest

[@bruceselman8542]

Awesome comparison thank you I have pretty much the same setup

[@ryand4786]

Great video, great location too ! Both very capable trucks , it’s impressive what the small crawlers can do , I have the bronco and it’s alot of fun inside or outside , small enough to take along in a backpack etc , keep up the good work 👍

[@RunThatRC]

Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate it 🙏

[@R-EVLMNKY]

Get wpl, upgrade it with better choice of electronics, will still be cheaper and better than traxxas. My mistake on this one.

[@Arturito2017]

This is one of the best videos of seen.

[@RunThatRC]

appreciate it!

[@Elisplushies360woodierc]

Cool video.I don’t have experience with them but maybe those flubber stuffers inside the wheels would help with roll overs.They’re supposed to still give good flex but keeps your tires from rolling over to much causing roll overs.

[@RunThatRC]

Thanks fornthe info I will check it out.

[@playanddisplay3636]

This was very informative video. Loved seeing the 2 scales concur the same obstacles. Seems like the WPL is a better choice as a trail truck. The Bronco while very impressive lacks wheel speed as you mentioned. Thanks for the great content brother.

[@RunThatRC]

Thanks Glad you enjoyed it!

[@rex_s80]

The stock trail gears actually do really well once you fix the driveshaft angles (I lengthen the top links just a smidge) and put bearings on the front CV axles. It’s so much smoother with the trails after that so it can crawl and have speed.

[@jimbo4203]

Stock the trx4m has plenty of wheel speed , the low range gears that were installed takes that away

[@glnhobbyworld945]

Wpl FTW 🥳

[@aces6262]

The C24 is just such a nice crawler, even stock it has high ground clearance with large tires (even if they look monster truck-ish which I don't like) that clear most obstacles with a low price tag.

[@RunThatRC]

fun trucks thats for sure!

[@band_siberianhusky]

Very informative video. The C24 is much louder. Where does the difference in noise come from?

[@RunThatRC]

The WPL has a 2 speed gearbox and a 370 size motor which makes it louder but not as bad as you hear. I have the camera mic really close to the trucks while driving so its not as loud as this in person. The trx4m is just smaller even the motor is a 180 so its a little quiter.

[@rex_s80]

I would try again with trail gears but do a few mods to the drivetrain. I did silicone grease on all the bushings and bearings on just the front CV axles where the pin goes as that causes a lot of binding. And then lengthen the top links just a bit to reduce the pinion angle. I have absolutely no bind and it’s very smooth. I can easily spin the entire drivetrain by spinning a tire by hand which I couldn’t before: initial take off isn’t jumpy either.

[@rex_s80]

That is since you don’t have to compare stock to stock anymore. This would be an alternative to crawl gears being sooooo slow. I went back to trail gears

[@RunThatRC]

I used slickoleum on all bushings but no mods to the links. It runs smooth but for my style driving the stock gears just dont cut it and even the crawler gears are too slow but modulation is great. Everyone is going to build these different and what works for me won't work for everyone. That's what makes this hobby awesome. We have options and gear selections so we can all enjoy and get the performance we want out of these.

[@rex_s80]

@@RunThatRC yeah it was just a recommendation. I believe meus it something like that is making portals with 1.25 ratio for these so I’m waiting for those. Maybe the inbetween gearing Im hoping for.

[@RunThatRC]

that might be the sweet spot for the stock gearing for sure.

[@zoridor16]

Great execution my friend! What electronics does it bring in the wpl? greetings

[@RunThatRC]

on this run 1060 hobbywing esc with the wpl 2 speed running on 2s lipo. dumboRC transmitter and receiver.

[@Ynot.LJ8]

What’s a good mod for the 1/18 scale k10 Chevy? Just need a little more power.

[@RunThatRC]

mine is still stock and it does need a little more low end grunt. I would have to say better esc and receiver should help.

[@chris001979]

Cool video but if the wpl had the same kind of tires it would of been way better

[@RunThatRC]

for sure

[@jonathoncollins8603]

How and where did you get the two separate speeds on the WPLC and are you still running the stock controller?

[@RunThatRC]

The WPL C24 I'm running is a KM kit and am running it with standalone electronics. Not the standard wpl electronics in this one.

[@softyan]

Lo emocionante del wpl c24 es qués muy configurable puedes tener motor 180, 260, 370 con caja de cambios. Incluso con dos motores N30 claro será más lento pero tendrá una fuerza enorme para subir. El traxxas en cambio es un dolor de cabeza para conseguir piezas y adaptarlo .

[@RunThatRC]

definitely different rigs.

[@chrish9502]

Is the trx4m really harder to mod? I’m new, I would have thought the c-24 would be harder

[@softyan]

@@chrish9502 en parte porque hay ciertos mods que se debe adaptar. Pero no son nada complicados la mayoría. Para traxxas si hay mods pero son más costosos y son dolores de cabeza cuando algo no calzan bien.

[@chrish9502]

@@softyan thanks for the tips

[@sofloflow]

​@chrish9502 I dissagree with OP, the TRX4M is much easier to mod with a large support from the factory (Traxxas has some of, if not the best CS in the industry). I still prefer the larger (and cheaper) C24 overall tho.

[@chrish9502]

Hey do you still have drag brake function with the hw1060 on the c-24? Also, are you able to hook the headlights up to the 1060, and maybe even a winch later?

[@RunThatRC]

the 1060 has a jumper that switches from forward/reverse to forward/brake/reverse. If you leave the jumper out it gives it a drag brake and its forward/reverse. You will have to get different lights or figure how to run the stock ones. You will be using your own transmitter and receiver and your going to need a winch controller or a standalone winch with separate controller.

[@chrish9502]

@@RunThatRC thanks for the help, your channel has been one of the most helpful in deciding what to buy. I still just can’t decide between a trx4m and a wpl!!

[@RunThatRC]

@@chrish9502 they are both good but the WPL will do more outdoor stuff than the tiny trx4m.

[@Crider-ih2ir]

Hoping to rake my stock c14 out and compare it to my defender trxm I just got

[@RunThatRC]

its always fun to have multiple scales challenge each other.

[@Crider-ih2ir]

@@RunThatRC yes it is. I haven't really had chance to get my trxm out yet cause weather and being busy can't wait to really try it out..

[@Wainfleetrccrawlers]

have you ever installed grub screws on a stock wplc24-1 axel gear?

[@playanddisplay3636]

If you're referring to the standard ring gears, you may be better off using the metal upgrade internals with the grub screw hole already drilled and tapped. Otherwise, the epoxy mounted axel shafts would require you to remove the ring gear. Allowing to drill and tap the ring gear. Then re-install it onto the metal axel shaft.

[@RunThatRC]

I have not tried anything like that sorry.

[@bandoler001]

did you hear that tire grip, trx4 minimakes cool tire noise

[@RunThatRC]

I do like hearing that tire grip too.

[@WoodsUnknown]

Too bad both rigs didn't have the same aggressive Tire package, but the wpl performed flawlessly.

[@RunThatRC]

yeah I tried to give the Trx4m some help but wanted people to see how the WPL performed basically stock KM kit version.

[@WoodsUnknown]

@@RunThatRC that WPL works really well. I have a few of the Scx24's but never bought a trx4m, for what you get with no bearings and most people have to upgrade the machine I'd rather get the WPL there is a ton of aftermarket stuff for those models. Where do you purchase your WPL's?

[@RunThatRC]

@@WoodsUnknown I like my TRX4m's more than the Axial SCX24 but I do not normally do too many mods. Some only leave the axles stock. Not my case, I like to keep them mostly stock except for stuff I think is necessary. Bushing don't bother me because its less maintenance for my water activities lol. They all have there place for sure. If I purchase WPLs it would be on the Official site. All my previous WPLs before WPL actually started sending me review units I purchased from Banggood.com and also a sketchy website I dont remember that had a blue B series for 25 bucks shipped. So I paypaled it in hopes it wasn't a scam. It did show up and was an original first batch with metal pinion and plastic ring gears. So that was a come up.

[@namkk7546]

Is the c24 better than mn78?

[@RunThatRC]

depends what your looking for in a RC. The mn78 is a really nice jeep and the C24 is a nice toyota. The mn78 is a little bigger but the C24 has more upgrades and handles better off road stock vs stock. With these you can mod so much that you can get performance out of both. These are trail trucks so you can't really expect crawler performance out the box.
