----------------------
Note: Don't forget an external LiPo alarm for the battery. Not sure if the ESC has a LiPo cut-off or not.
I also feel that somehow it seems a little underpowered with this set up. Can’t really be the LiPo as I have tested these in other cars as well (and a 2S should be more than enough for this little car), but it feels like it isn’t getting power or/and torque enough. Might be the ESC and motor combined with the weight of the metal axles, hard body and wheel weights? First test run coming up soon, so you can see it for yourself.

Your videos saved me! I ordered the full metal kit and received the rtr instructions. I could not have built my rig without you!

[@NordicRC]

Glad I could help! Makes me very glad, as all the hard work with filming and editing makes more sense :-)

[@stephanbol3151]

Thanks for the great video i finally got my c34 going again watching your video showed me what to do

[@NordicRC]

Hi Stephen! Sounds great!

[@bradkalman2353]

It's amazing all that can fit under that small space.

[@NordicRC]

Yeah, I was a bit surprised too 😅🙂

[@camrowdrone6497]

I like wpl lights always a warm colour 👍🏻

[@NordicRC]

Yeah, this one really got some warmth to it. Fits the old Land Cruiser body style. Thanks a lot for watching.

[@jdpaslRC]

Well done putting them together. Very simple!

[@NordicRC]

Yeah, a little fiddly to find room for it, but simple. Hope somebody new to it can use the video. Thanks a lot fur watching, my friend.

[@islandrc-duke1972]

Cool little RC and electronics

[@NordicRC]

Thanks, Duke. Yeah, amazing what money can buy these days.

[@mattiasrc]

Looks like a neat little trail truck.

[@NordicRC]

Hi Mattias! Yeah, such a cool little one for the money.

[@NCmountainsYouTubeChannel]

Thank you for sharing, I just received my first WPL c34 K-M version, ☕💯

[@NordicRC]

Hope you enjoy it! Wonderful!

[@stekeel6993]

Always watch these videos

[@NordicRC]

Thank you!

[@stekeel6993]

Your welcome keep the videos comming

[@TonysRcTechboom]

Thats why I love your vids , great info, you take your time so we can do the same and they always come out better 👍😁👍 fantastic upgrades and a fantastic how to vid Bro 👍🥰😁👍

[@NordicRC]

Hi Tony! I hope this comes in handy for someone building this. Not sure if it is better. It seems quite underpowered (already rest ran it). Maybe it’s the weight. Or maybe the ESC not delivering enough power to the motor 🤔

[@cw-01creations46]

Hi Mikael, the plug for the lights goes into CH 3 on the receiver so you can access the lights via the handset 👍

[@NordicRC]

Hi Peter. Ahh yeah, never really tried it with the third channel. But could be cool 🙂 Thanks for the tip, Peter.

[@ShenRC]

😁👍Way better now!!

[@NordicRC]

Thanks Steve!

[@bradkalman2353]

I have the same transmitter and receiver in my grasshopper.

[@DanielSilva-sz8lc]

hello good morning everything is fine my name and Daniel I live in Brazil and I bought all this equipment that you made the video plus the mini esc and 20 I did all the procedures but only the rear engine worked perfect when I put the front engine it works alone without messing with the controls is that the receiver is defective, thank you very much

[@NordicRC]

Good evening, Daniel. Front and rear engine? You mean the axles? Too bad that the receiver was defective. Got 10-20 of these and they all work perfect in different cars.

[@DanielSilva-sz8lc]

@@NordicRC I did the test on the rear engine and it worked more when I started the front engine it is running alone without me making any commands is the receiver defective?

[@bradkalman2353]

I'm wondering could you use a Tamiya 380 motor on this vehicle from the grasshopper?

[@kunalsarkar1984]

@nordic RC. Can this setup use a Li-ion battery and not a Lipo batteries ?

[@NordicRC]

I would suspect yes.

[@kunalsarkar1984]

@@NordicRC Thanks !

[@bradkalman2353]

You know that rear wheel drive one you just did a video on I hear that it can actually go double that speed stock then what you got out of it to find out talk to the tank RC about it he says it will go like double the speed of that.

[@bradkalman2353]

Hope you use the 30 amp and how much are these little escs and can they be waterproofed?

[@NordicRC]

They can probably be waterproofed with a lot of epoxy.

[@bradkalman2353]

@@NordicRC what about conformal liquid?

[@cw-01creations46]

You could try hot glue.

[@bradkalman2353]

Formal liquid is a silicon liquid that you put on circuit boards and it waterproofs them I hopefully will show that on my channel soon cuz I just got some and I hopefully you will watch and you'll know what I'm talking about.

[@bradkalman2353]

Can you get a higher melee amp rating with that lipo for that car?

[@NordicRC]

Probably. But don’t know if it would fit. This one fits perfect.

[@bradkalman2353]

@@NordicRC I think it would be worth a try I'm sure you have that type of motor lying around that 380 RS or the 380s.

[@bradkalman2353]

The servo looks like it's from a new bright frenzy I have one I'm in my grasshopper also.

[@arundevsasi5502]

Wow amazing. Bro I have a doubt. Can we buy things from banggood now?

[@NordicRC]

Thanks, bro! Uhh, I do not know I am afraid.

[@shmebiulog242]

Where do you got those headlights?

[@NordicRC]

Just the cheapest from eBay

[@shmebiulog242]

Thanks

[@renannogueira2768]

Muito bom amigo faz uma pintura envelhecimento nele vai bomba no KZbin

[@bradkalman2353]

Looks like wheel and tire balancing is in order for that. Lol

[@ChadPeterson-b5d]

Yeah not easy. No mention of which wire off the esc are the battery and which is the engine. My reciever isnt lightinh up but the esc is flashing red. No idea what that means.
