I painted my hood in flat black, and the left front fender in primer grey. The bed liner in black too.

I have one of these and it's a lot of fun. Probably one of the better $/smile values in surface RC these days. Like you, I have lots of other RC buggies, trail trucks etc but I wanted something small and slow to run indoors on a rainy day -- and to annoy Sadie (my yellow lab). This one does both jobs very well. haha... Thanks for the excellent video!!

Just got one of these kits. I'm the guy your talking about. I know this an old video but it helps even now. This is going to be our first trail / crawler.. I made the right choice in the kit from the sounds of it. Thanks for the video..👍

Great video , THANK you for stressing the Lipo batteries safety points I see so many people using these 4$ esc's with lipos so dangerous when a simple esc like the HobbyWing 1625's have Lipo low voltage cut off. Love your videos keep the information rolling on these lil

I recently bought the WPL C24-1 -KM along with a metal servo upgrade and a cap, and I cant wait to put it together!

I still have fun with my wpl models. Customizing the hard bodies are so fun. Im about to put new driveshafts on the c24 monster truck i built.

I like so much for the cheapest rc it's very enjoy to play with it and most importantly is I can save my budget and not wasting my money for buy rc and then upgrade it into metal parts or etc.. It's makes everyone happy..actually a long time ago I was so happy and excited to buy some Rc like this but sadness is, it's to much expensive for me that time so I was not really happy after all and then I stop thinking for buy any Rc and it's not enjoyable for me.. But since China make this Rc I'm very happy for it because a lot of them are very cheapers and everyone can buy it for fun.. That's important to me because when everyone can buy it we can enjoy it everywhere we go and playing together hahaha..i love China people they saved me from everything 😆😁

Wise words,and when you do upgrades a little slower you get to compare them and also build up experience of if they are actually any better or not.

suggest 2S lithium ion battery, not near as finicky as LiPo.

Your videos are great! With no instructions on ANY of the B-16 upgrades (WPL product support???) I would have certainly committed this truck to "Weber Hell." As it is, this second truck (a store replacement for the first one with a failed motor) lasted for 6 minutes and 32 seconds before the drive shaft shattered. Your instructions are clear, concise and entertaining. Nice to see another with a Dad with video "interrupting" son. I share the same fledgling actor in my 6 year old. Well, time to get back to drive shaft assembly. Two down. One to go. (This is not relaxing!) I look forward to your upgrade videos.

没想到这东西在外国这么受欢迎，简直是中国RC的荣耀。在中文论坛上，也有不少人在这个车上一掷千金，花了上千人民币来改装它。确实是一辆便宜好玩的入门车。

Agreed! The shafts are definitely the first to go. In my C14 I made the mistake of getting the RTR version so modifying it was a little heftier than yours. I did swap out the servo, and now I'm running the 370 motor (with gear reduction) and the metal transfer case. This truck really crawls now! Pretty substantial torque for a little guy too. I also got the Surpass Hobby 6 ch radio (about 30 bucks with receiver) so the control is fantastic. I can switch the lights on and off now and there's still the option of the winch (you can get those in eBay). I haven't done any work to the axles or links yet...honestly? They work fine! If they ever break I'll look at it then. I do run a 3s LiPo in it as the ESC I got is fine with that. Fantastic power and decent run time. If you do go LiPo, wiring in a 'fuel gauge' or battery meter/alarm is a good idea. Spot on review, sir! These are great little tinker trucks.

I'm going back into the hobby after a decade. My old Tamiya did not survive the migration and move to Germany, so need a new kit. Also, hoping to take my kid along for the ride. So these WPL with their low entry price and affordable hop-ups are really viable as a start. Thx for confirming in the video.

@rolha666

I took my WPL C24 for the first ride yesterday and yea you were right, 10 minutes and it broke the front transmission shaft 😂
