WPL gear mesh fixed! How to stop differentials from slipping.

My WPL has had an issues since it was new of slipping gears. The gear mesh in the axles just isn't tight enough for a good mesh. I resolve this issue making a much stronger gear mesh.

@Jack Caden Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@liancassius2361]

@Jack Caden It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much, you saved my ass!

[@jackcaden2769]

@Lian Cassius no problem :)

[@hybrid32494]

hey buddy! I had the same problem with the diffs in the kit version I built. I also came up with the solutions as you have before watching this video. I also put a small washer under the bevel drive gear, eventually it always pops off from the metal splines now.

[@supastihl89]

hybrid32494 yea I've got 3 metal axles sets otw aswell as a set of the military solid metal heng long axles. Building a c24 with monster truck 86 mm tires

[@garettbodel3002]

I was watching your video the other night. Sounds like you've got a Massachusetts accent. Do you have another KZbin page called nizzie's world

[@rodey6594]

My Kyosho Mini Z 4x4 rubicon been going through like hell, got another 6 sets on the way 😂 I'm starting to look for a machinist to machine a custom build gears and shaft but I'll give the washer a shot first

[@brsrc759]

"couldn't climb a wet turd!". Lmao! That right there was funny!

[@modelnutty6503]

went a different route, a single hole paper punch and matchbook cover punched out as shims. two to the inside, CA in place, one to the outside also CA'd. press bushings in tight, drill through the paper/card stock, pack with grease press the shaft+gear back together. the bushings are now about .070 further apart (less shaft wobble) with the bevel gears right into each other. if the bevel gears are TOO tight, make a paper gasket for the axle input to back the bevel gear up a tiny bit. definitely give this method a shot. if they'd used 3 x 6 x 2.5 mm plastic bushings instead of 2 mm thick, or put more distance between the pair of bushings, it'd been much better to start with. can do it with thin washers behind the bushings too, but card stock works good.

[@supastihl89]

model nutty Yea it's a bit tight I wanted a thinner nylon bushing. No luck. I have metal gear axle internals now. Much better

[@modelnutty6503]

I'm really trying to avoid spending on all the metal goodies, after watching lots of videos telling about this issue, it makes sense. there are 3 x 6 x 2 and 3 x 6 x 2.5 mm ball bearings available, a pair of 2.5's might be about perfect for ditching shaft wobble/slop. these also have issues with plastic drive shafts throwing their + from U-joints, because the angles are so steep putting stress on them. dropping the trans down about 1/2" on some sheet metal takes a whole lot of kink out of them. sometimes I wish I could write or speak Chinese to "hey guys you need to make some minor changes!" lol.

[@supastihl89]

model nutty I talk to a China men who knows the owner. I also sell their products on eBay. They see all the issues and are preparing a new release. Also if you get the metal gearset the pinion is solid to the driveshaft and the gear is bigger and taller. Much better gear mesh. And that doubles the axle weight which increases stability. I did a suspension lift for my son's c24 and a drivetrain drop with sheet metal. The angle is nice and smooth no binding now. Currently with 2.5 inch shocks but I have some 75mm or just under 3 inch shocks otw. And with the big monster truck tires. Also I have the metal gear single speed but it came with a weak 370 motor that gets hot fast. I just received a 35t dromida brushed motor for better crawling

[@joshherrman3201]

So I have the full metal axels and bearings. My pinion gear still seems to be skipping. Do you think this will work on it?

[@Simplicity1207]

Thanks! I feel better now!

[@MrsRabbit8]

Thanks for the tip, i wouldn't have figured it out! Do you know the gear ratio of the wpl axel gears?

[@supastihl89]

No sry

[@larrylooney4495]

Bearing kit will tighten all that up and metal gears

Thanks cuz I was thinking of getting one and putting my son's little dirt bikes in the back of it and making it like a cool little truck shelf Queen butts drive around the house or whatever. I have everything else. What would you suggest for a decent cheap ESC that can handle a small 2s lipo.

Need to replace the plastic gears with the metal set they don't even sell them with the plastic anymore I don't know if you got the new version

[@garettbodel3002]

How do you find out if they have the metal gears or not .is it a v2 or have it marked on the box.or are all the kit version come with it now.

[@supastihl89]

@@garettbodel3002 all of them are supposed to be coming with them now but there is no telling if you got old stock cuz they have to sell all the Originals first also they're supposed to be sending a different transmission it's supposed to be brown plastic not black that is the updated version

[@garettbodel3002]

Thanks so much guys think I'll pick up the kit metal drive shafts in the axles in go from there. Basically just for cruising in the house in the sandbox. We can't stop coming back to look at it because had a Toyota back in the end of the 80s we used to jump it flipped it over a couple times man the truck was a goddamn blast so grab one

[@Cursed_jimny_4x4uk]

How do I stop the drive shaft from popping out because as soon as it is under any strain, it just pops out...

[@supastihl89]

Hadyn's RC Adventures does the metal shaft come out of the differential

[@Cursed_jimny_4x4uk]

+Hooptie Rides&Reviews yes. it won't stay in. tried putting whole body weight on but still just comes out.

[@Cursed_jimny_4x4uk]

+Hooptie Rides&Reviews I'll put a video on my channel

[@supastihl89]

Hadyn's RC Adventures did you take it apart and try to press the gear back in while the cover was off

[@Cursed_jimny_4x4uk]

+Hooptie Rides&Reviews yes. the video is uploading now.

[@awdsie9902]

Hooptie Rides&Reviews hey! Love the vids on wpl c14, just got one, waiting for esc, remote and stuff, mine did come with the small brass gears but the main gears in the pumpkins are still plastic, and sense I dont have controller or anything, I just spin it by hand and noticed a lot of clicking coming from the axles, I used a small metal ring inside one to test it out and it makes the wheels lock up, I cannot spin by hand with small ring in pumpkin, so I took it out, should I wait for my parts then see what I need to do, or do I need to order metal parts right now? Because it takes forever for parts to come lol. Sorry for the long text

[@technicaltreats2704]

This problem came after how many months?

[@evoxgamerz5877]

Mine after 3 weeks

[@Bergwacht]

My diffs did not slip through, but after 2 minutes they were only dust ... The replacement diffs from my r tr version after another 2 minutes. The metal differentials are of course out of order 2 weeks AFTER ordering it. It's fun - 5 minutes driving - 2 months waiting - 5 minutes driving - 2 months waiting .. also my rtr version came with only 3 shock absorbers. for what I wish you banggood - I'm probably going to hell🖕

[@supastihl89]

Yea sorry to hear that i ised parts from another kit on my white truck I learned quick to preorder parts for these things as ive seen all the weqknpoints now

[@mcplutt]

My B24 kit has metal pinions and plastic ringgears. Or maybe it was all metal in there. Can't remember, it's two weeks since the build :-)

[@garettbodel3002]

Is that the servo that comes with the kit version. Or did you put a separate one in it. And is it 3 wire that comes with the kit. Not the RTR one

[@supastihl89]

Yes its the original kit 3 wire servo. Actually impressive. Ive sunk it 10 times works great. Not a powerhouse but it works

[@Bergwacht]

the servo that comes with the rtr version is pure garbage ... The servo that comes with the kit version, however, is suitable👍

[@supastihl89]

@@Bergwacht yea i never got an rtr because of that. Also because i had build plans. Actually all my kit servos survive water and all.

@@Bergwacht It isn't even a servo, just a on or off steering motor.

@@mcplutt you got 2 diffeent servos. the ready ro ride version has that garbage "steeing motor " ;) the kit version came with a real servo with more power. but its still shit - but its okay. with a better servo you just will brake the cheap plastic suspension mecahnics xD

where does the front bumper come from ?

This comes with everything you see in a kit

[@moonmanmigz]

Is this even worth the money. I been thinking about that every time I watch a video about this thing

[@supastihl89]

Depends on what you want from it and how much you're willing to spend

[@supastihl89]

Stock they are just good for driving on flat surfaces it's not a trail truck out of the box a little bit of dirt and stuff is okay as well

[@supastihl89]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4LKl36Ifax1m8U This video is a good sample to go off of. The military truck i have the cheapest setup just to make it dependable for some off roading. $2 motor upgrade (180) $10 metal driveshafts, $13 metal geared axle shafts esc and rx. With truck im in it $50 approx. Maybe 60

They are factory upgraded by now. All metal gears. However I got a kit with metal pinion and plastic ring gear recently.

That shim is way to thick
