People need to be careful with the addiction of being cheap. For instance, once you start buying cheap brakes..... You won't be able to stop. 😁

You can have a lot of fun with cheap and cheerful RC's. You just have to be realistic with your expectations.

[@tomley_rc]

You certainly can

[@mehimrc1314]

Cheap isn't always cheerful, you do see your money in the other RC cars. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder, great video 👍

[@tomley_rc]

Yes, 100%

[@ARTilldawn]

I like the Jimny more then the new release but i like the old C24 even better, just adding some soldering wire inside the wheels makes it 50% more capable. Thanks for the video!

[@andy2more475]

I've heard of using ball bearings or fishing weights too. ;)

[@UnrivaledPiercer]

I was having this issue with a WPL that a customer brought in to me for repair. It turns out that replacing the cheapo battery pack it comes with, with a better 2S lipo fixed the cut out problem. My guess is that the cheap batteries they come with have too much voltage sag causing the LVC to kick in constantly when the motor is under load.

[@acynder1]

yeah, that controler looks exactly like the one that came with the D12, and they cut out exactly like that if you try to drift it in a gryppy surface if you keep at it long enought. I like wpl's shells a lot and usualy go crazy with the mechanical parts. Like a blue C24 with MN axles and metal suspension for stability and flex, or a red one retrofited to leaf suspension and a tamiya 540 for 4wd drifts. They are cars to thinker with more than anything else for me, and I love them for that.

[@OldeSchoolRcUk]

Ignore the haters buddy. Nothing about this hobby is cheap

[@i-destroy-my-paper-boats]

That's for sure.

[@tomley_rc]

Well, there are some cheapo's that are decent.... but most of the hobby is certainly not cheap

[@2WingSamebird24]

I actually agreed with the guy $325 is far from cheap that was his point he didn’t show hate there was no name calling. Maybe leave the internet drama in your head today😂😂

[@Shadow_Wraith]

​@@2WingSamebird24Thing is, the whiners don't tell us what is actually cheap and good in their opinion and so their whining is pointless.

[@ipperurc5216]

You are definitely right

[@NBC_NCO]

Just keep doing what you do, Tom. You can not please 100% of the people 100% of the time. If they want Cheap... Here in the States, we have a store called Walmart. They can get a RC for as little as 19.99 !

[@tomley_rc]

I love Walmart haha

[@doodlepugg]

The equivalent over here for cheap crap would be either Smyth's or Menkind 😂

[@FreedomYak]

I have 12 WPL’s (some of them still not built) but stopped buying them because by the time you upgrade all the electronics and metal parts you’ve spent enough to get something like a 1/10 Losi 22s when they’re on sale for $149 etc. If they would at minimum put some oil shocks, metal parts and just use the Kit tires for everything it would help. I still like them and enjoy building them it’s just the prices have gone up considerably but they’re still the same toy/hobbyish grade RC’s.

[@OgYokYok]

The FCX24 Blazer was such a game changer for me. Affordable and easy to take everywhere. Also a ton of little accessories and upgrades already available. It’s been a fun little garden crawler. Now I’ve been eyeing something bigger and it’s not so bad when it’s a gradual increase in price as opposed to immediately dropping 500 bones (worms)

It seems like the control is much better than the original c54, maybe I'll get another WPL soon.

[@N0CKTERNUL]

Have the same cut out problem with my C24-1 and found it it's the little plastic connectors on the board that shake loose. I had to just gut it and replaced with an exhobby 2 in 1 receiver/esc

[@goldnmnkyua]

These WPLs are great toys for those who are looking to invest a bit of extra money and tinker with the upgrades. Playing with these isnt that much fun as rebuilding them on the weekends to make suspension tweaks and imrovements. Then somethink breaks and the endless cycle repeats. Think these are ideal as cheapest beginner crawlers, especially in RTR form. This one is definitely a buy. But im going to wait until they work out these cutting out issues after the first batch is sold out everywhere for a bit. Absolutely loved building my c24. This will be a great addition to the fleet.

[@GuySasha2022]

Every RC car brakes and it's always endless😂😂😂 Elizabeth

[@richardkaber5466]

I'm just starting out getting into rc crawlers and your videos have been a big help I haven't even bought myself one yet just doing some good studying and pricing before I purchase one

[@MrCveedub]

Still using Philips head screws to get the tires off? The screws that run into the actual axel?

[@mrbutchee1]

The older Wpl's were fun to tinker with and upgrade and test things on. I like this one.

[@DirtyPlumbus]

Let's be real, RC is a well-to-do man's game. A decent build, on average, is going to run you $600 and up. Anything less than that technically qualifies as cheap, and you should expect to get what you paid for. That said, I appreciate the existence of WPL. They make a decent entry point to get people into RC and give them a taste.

[@tomley_rc]

Most hobby's aren't cheap really

[@muskokamike127]

It's actually gone nuts over the past 2 yrs. To give you an idea, when the Toyato first came out, it was around $199 CDN. Now? It's the same price as the Tamiya F250. I picked up a 144001 for $79 CDN on amazon in 2021 and it's now $179 and up. The RGT pioneer used to be around $229 CDN now it's $500 and up.

[@DirtyPlumbus]

I've always thought WPL were surprising. I have 3. 2 are c24's and a d12. Which reminds me, I need to fish them out and have another look. Thanks for sharing this one mate.

[@Benjamin_Reese]

Cheap is definitely a touchy subject for some people. Cheaper than most is cheap, or quality for price can be cheap.

[@Pablo668]

I think some people just don't get the idea that prices can be relative. Also, cheap can mean not costing a lot and/or not great quality. I am looking forward to seeing that giant truck going btw. You do really know your driving spots too, this one looks pretty at this time of year.

[@jameswisecarver]

Wpl make some amazing looking vehicles, but performance of the electronics is an after thought, I have a few and other than sitting on a shelf and lookin phat I dont drive them, ever.

[@Techie_ASMR]

what is inside that crossRC box on your truck bed please? is it the new EMO XL 6x6 1/8th scale?

[@Rangoli_rc]

I really appreciate how you can take a cheap car and make it look awesome. Hail to the king

[@tyman657]

I put a 1060 with a a flysky radio and 3s lipo it’s like night and day the jimny with stock electronics was like a Walmart toy now it has potential kept the stock motor and servo in it and it’s working well. Although I’m a little worried about the gears with the added speed to the truck

[@mwhizzler476]

I don’t have any rc cars and this just randomly came on my feed, but coming from FPV. $325 for a decent setup that includes a controller sounds like a good deal to me lol.

[@Syncronizeification]

thanks for this, I think that's brilliant for the price, just ordered one for my son to try.

[@zamoragera13]

Those wpl are cheap but I like them because they are easy to work on and modify. I made my Suzuki a drifter with d64 chassis.

The bouncy shocks respond faster to the terrain. And then keep responding 🤣. Looks quite a good model tbh. Nice review 👍🍺🇬🇧

Does that have the same gear box as the new Unimog? Looks like it has a spot for a second motor

[@TechWizMaster]

I like this little truck...you buy this for a kid he'll like it A LOT more than those toy grade RC you see at toys R us and other surface stores...and it's probably cheaper than many of them.

[@tomley_rc]

I agree, much better than you can get from a toy shop

[@irish33rc9]

Why dont you get the kist of the people that paid to enter that drawlimg for the mt10 and redraw out of thos people?

[@michaeldorich4485]

Except for the occasional cut out the little truck perform well. It's truly a cheap crawler. I found it interesting for a lot of the WPL crawlers you can get same day deliver from Amazon in the U.S. for no extra charge.There's more to the determination of cheap than just the new price. If you buy an r/c car and it's breaking all the time, it's not good value no matter what the price. The RGT you tested for a year was worth the cost. I think Redcat is a company that have some cheap crawlers that give good value.

[@tomley_rc]

Yes, this one was decent. We can't get Redcat in the UK very easily, which his a shame

[@michaeldorich4485]

@@tomley_rc That's too bad. I watched one review of one of its cheapest crawlers, the Danchee Ridgerunner. It's a very basic and flexible crawler. It's 1/10 with locked diffs. standard steering, four wheel steering, crab steering, rear wheel steering, dual motors and portal axles. It's price is $169. The dual motor eliminates the transmission, The reviewer is usually tough on the cars/trucks he tests. He liked it I would like to see your opinion of it.

Cross RC XX10 T-REX Please show wiring in the cab and in the chassis. Got of these on the list for the next couple months. Just trying to work out mods for interior. What interior would you go for? I am thinking about a bus from fast and furious FPV camera in the turret on the front, possible thermal camera and head tracking with manual controls FPV for driving with night vision and head tracing BB fire controls on front turret Weapons station monitoring in cab with screen from turret FPV proximity sensors station and range finder CCTV monitoring screens for workers of the M198's Some lower chassis lights plus a whole lot more For this build can you upload pictures of stuff of interest please or more over head shots where you slow down more so we can learn how the pro's do it 🙂. Cross RC as always just don't show you things you need to know.They built it but didn't show any of the wiring for where it went. Also need those chassis shots to see where there is empty space. If possible can you try to add a traxxas 3s battery some where in the chassis lie maybe under the motor or in the rear? I would like to keep the storage boxes for ammo for the m198's and other things, like tools and javelin missiles. If you can show a battery that fits and tell us the battery make and model we'll know for sizing. For this truck I am thinking about adding 2000kv motors, I wonder if when cross said dont exceed 12100Kv what they really mean but then said if you are going brushless it should be less than 1600Kv? We need to Mr Talbot to build this just so we can see what kinda of destruction he can do as he does. We get info from you then watch Kevin destroy, sorry Game over. Of course great job as always, not trying to rush you on the build 🙂, and love the videos.

[@adrianpilbeam7403]

Everybody's idea of cheap is different. The way you explain it makes sense. It's cheap in comparison to other products but, people react only to the word cheap because we all have different views according to our financial status. When I first got into the RC hobby I didn't have a lot of money so the £60 I paid for my WLToys 144001 was just about affordable. Now I earn a decent wage and I am further into this hobby, its cheap compared to the Arrma Kraton which cost me 10 times that.

Our gas prices went from $1.30/L to $1.79 in 2 months simply due to an increase in carbon tax and federal excise tax.
