WPL E1 Metal tracks Upgrade. Attempts the Hill Climb.

67 links on each side for the WPL E1 metal tracks with rubber traction pads. It was a lot of time to get it together but it was straight forward and simple enough to assemble.
So far since install they haven't slipped off once. I can definitely recommend this upgrade.
I believe they are available now on the WPL-RC website:

This must be the hardest test I have seen for the crawling abilities on the E1 yet, very awesome! I have metal tracks on the way, can hardly wait to try them out 😁

[@RunThatRC]

you will like the metal tracks. low down weight and good performing.

[@Fonzierc]

I just wish they supply this as standard because the stock is garbage 😅

[@RunThatRC]

definitely night and day difference.

[@BlackSeaRC]

It's a nice upgrade but this isn't the only problem that needs fixing. It would also be great to get the suspension working more effectively.

[@RunThatRC]

yes the suspension is stiff. Maybe with the metal tracks I can try and remove some or all of the springs and see if that works and doesn't derail.

[@PERTHWESTOZRC]

How much do these metal tracks cost?

[@RunThatRC]

Shows 24.90 USD on the Official website.

[@modelnutty6503]

nice! rubber tracks can stretch a little to pop loose, might be solved weaving 6lb fishing line through like a long figure 8 stitch down both sides of each. it doesn't seem to lack torque at all with dual 130 worm gear drives, but more could be had slapping in a pair of neutral brush timed 180's easily enough (same RPM both directions) for 5-6 bucks.

[@RunThatRC]

definitely can solve the issues and upgrade with tricks like that.

Thanks for sharing! I've got an E1 on order from Banggood as at the time WPL had sold out on their site. However, I've got the metal track upgrade on the way (and a B36.. OOPS! :D). I reckon all three should arrive across the pond in the UK at a similar time :). Interesting to note that WPL are offering limited packs of the V1 drive sprockets along with the V2 ones. Eh? Yes the metal track upgrades now come with a V2 drive "sprocket" - instead of the two halves having teeth, there are now metal pins running between them all around the circumference which grab the track teeth. This is an answer to the problem which can arise of dirt in the track holes forcing the sprocket teeth out of position and damaging the drivetrain.

[@RunThatRC]

I just heard about those. Glad they keep addressing issues and providing fixes for them.

[@bigesrcs]

Nice video bus just got mine 2 days ago and love the performance enhancements and not a single derailment!!

[@RunThatRC]

definitely needed if you expect to tackle terrain with the E1. Puts weight down low and has good traction in my experience so far.

[@bigesrcs]

@@RunThatRC yeah I was tired of grass and stick derailing my tracks but don't have that problem anymore

[@jonmandelbaum5395]

So after five months have you experienced any wear or damage on it now that it’s got the metal tracks

[@RunThatRC]

I have only ran it about 20 times but I will assume the metal tracks will eventually eat at the plastic wheels and need replacing once they start skipping (kinda like bike chain and gears need replacing) that's going to be a need for this at some point. How much time before it needs it I cant tell yet because mine still look good.

[@ka4172]

Have troubel with small rocks blocked the drivetrain.

[@rafrianregor4732]

woooow

[@RunThatRC]

My reaction exactly after I seen what it can climb.

[@rafrianregor4732]

do you have any give aways for wpl?😊

[@RunThatRC]

@@rafrianregor4732 in the future I plan to have more giveaways.

Fantastic!! Really looking forward to the progress on this vehicle!! I am eager to pick one up, but I would like to see a 2-speed or a larger motor upgrade, or both. Nothing insane, nothing to bash, but similar to the boosts in performances of the other KM kits. This is a fantastic vehicle, and I'm definitely going to need to add and rc smoker to it somewhere... Great vids, as always, thanks, and, keep up the great work!!

[@RunThatRC]

I also would like to see more upgrades for this. Unfortunately other than some talented tinkerers doing mods on this I haven't heard much more about any upgrades for this. I do hope to see more metal upgrades like the gearbox would be nice.

[@3Y3ECE]

@@RunThatRC I recently bought an aftermarket metal 2 stage gearbox. Not bad, and affordable, all things considered. I'd love to see some lcg links and alternate bodies come out. I really think WPL should do another style of axle too, to diversify their lineup. Love them though, and getting a bunch lolz

[@RunThatRC]

They are addictive. I hope WPL continues to progress as well!

[@jonmandelbaum5395]

Well I’m sold.

[@keldonator]

Getting high centered seems like the biggest issue now. Too bad it wasn't a bit higher.

[@RunThatRC]

definitely would have been nice to get a little more ground clearance fore sure. It's still not bad with metal tracks it gets around pretty well.

[@keldonator]

@@RunThatRC Have you ever used the sg 1203? Seems that one has lots of clearance but maybe not the slow speed control.

[@thee_undertaker]

Would adding weight give it better traction so it doesn't spin out so much?

[@RunThatRC]

It definitely shouldnhelp out.

[@thee_undertaker]

@@RunThatRC do you really really think so? Is it possible to have a dream machine?

[@RunThatRC]

yeah there is room for weights inside the rig.

[@adventuretruckrc8863]

Wpl power👍

[@cwatson42785]

Hey bud Amazon has a nice sct on sale right now for $100. It's brushed but well worth the money. I just got one and did a brushless swap. It's called the leagendary nitro 4x4 sct. I wanted to tell you as I know you have reviewed that brand before. It's actually a rebrand of the imex samurai and FTX zorro. Great deal for what you get. This tank is pretty cool!

[@RunThatRC]

nice! I do like short course trucks.

[@fattynigga0601]

I bought one of these but the metal tracks don't ship to my country so i have to live with rubber tracks for now

[@RunThatRC]

that is unfortunate. Maybe it willnbe available soon.
