I love how you slowly talk yourself into several upgrades, just as we all end up doing 😁

I bought one of these after watching your vid, it just looks so cool! (Also i believe it is a 1983 Hilux (possibly SR5) if anyone’s wondering, just spent a while researching it for authentic classic colour schemes lol😂)

this thing is awesome! I don't care what anyone says because there are people who spend $38 on a nonfunctional model car. at least this one has potential.

It's amazing how far wpl have come since this video was posted.

Looks waaay better

Man thank you again. Once again you picked a perfect video subject. I'm sure there's plenty of us that appreciate this kind of video. I was just looking at one yesterday. Please keep it up ❤

Theyve improved a lot since this video came out. Theres still room for more improvements but for the price of them there really good, ive got a B14, B16 (the Deuce M35's) the B16 ive modified the cab and bonnet to look like the newer M928, one of my little girls got the B24 and the other has a D12 Mini, they all get broken stuff like springs snapping or getting gears in the axles to slip but there easy to fix

I like how you detailed the truck the little things make it stand out.

Great JOB 🇺🇸😊👍

Paint the door locks silver bud...have been watching for 3-4 years love the semi stuff and scale garage keep us entertained Thanks

Bangood has a kit version that comes with a servo, I think for what it is it's a cool little project nice paint job mate

Thanks for sharing sir. Really enjoy watching. Awesome built & paint job. Keep it up!😁👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

That thing is really cool with the detail work just awesome

Way cool! Love what you did to interior! In my head i remember everyone of those old toyotas with tan interior...haha..And floor mats! Dude so cool! Like everyone else said with some hobby grade electrics itll be a cool little truck..nice job! gotta get me one!

The "servo" is just a motor and gears with a clutch on the end. With only two motor wires, there's no feedback loop to the control board. Its just on or off. By the time you put in electronics to convert it to use a real servo, you may as well pop in a new $5 esc and a receiver. Great vid btw.. inspired me to paint mine :)

Looks fantastic my friend, great Job. 👍😊👍

I love the hot rod shop..... Awesome as always 😎

2022 update, the new one's have a servo motor in them already. I just cut the springs to get the ride Hight down also this helped it flex way better the frame is also BLK now I really like this little RC crawler.

It’s lovely and I’m looking at one on Amazon right now!

Looks fantastic! Really cool little truck! 😉👍

Thumbs up looks great and have a great day

you really need figures in your rigs my friend to me its a must to have a driver sitting there thats the first thing i look at before a build

Great build👍👍👍👍

It would definitely be cool to see it with hobby grade electronics

I have the wpl army truck, its a lotta fun to drive slow over rocks and looks very real.

Great truck 👍✌️. Great video 👏👍

Micro-Servo ESC and Reciver ist fairly standart in all of my 8+ Rigs (got 2 of almost any of them) just lovely trucks after i got my first kit around the same time this Vid was made i fell in love and i got Addicted to them lol First i got was Tan colored Kit of the C-14 At all … YES ist Worth it to upgrade them

Cool video sweet looking truck

I had one of those and got a army truck cut both chassis in half and joined them so i had the hilux cab and the army truck flatbed with leaf springs all round

If only it drove as good as it looks. The paint looks great. With some hobby grade electronics that thing could be a great little rig.

I have one and it has been kitted out with hobby grade stuff (servo)and it is amazing and worth it

I´ve got the kit Version on my workbench at the Moment and looking forward to getting the build done.

You can buy some RC PIAA lights for the bar on Amazon.

Quality body on it. I've got the kit version on its way in Tan and comes with a regular micro servo and mounts. I'm glad you showed the rc4wd shocks.... I wont get them now.

cool idea mate, paint job turned out great! im gonna get one aswell😊 you can easily fit a micro servo on there

The looseness is how it gets its flex lol. But seriously the body and chassis rails is worth the price for a build with hobby grade parts

Sewing straight pins, heat pin until plastic gets loose enough to pull pin out. Delicately use razor to open hole enough to fit on shifter. Small drop of c a tire glue.

Looks neat just with what ya did. Definitely change that steering servo

👌a good job

It´s astonishing to see what a transformation can be effected with a handful of washers and lots of time. I have the leaf sprung military truck from the same people, and I´m now inspired to go through the suspension and sort it out. The colo(u)r choice for the interior looks superb against the lighter body, and painting the wheels made a huge difference as well : )

You can wire in a two wire setup to a standard hobby grade Servo by simply removing the circuit board inside the servo or just disconnect it and the potentiometer. Then just hook the wires to the motor you might have to use a resistor in line to regulate the voltage going to the servo you don't want it pushing too hard and frying the motor. You won't have Auto centering though

Woww maizing

This was an RTR, the kit build has different stering and softer tires

You could have chose any colour in the world, and you went for the only other colour these cars come in stock? XD Looks amazing though dude great stuff.

See if you can find a used dromida.they 1/18 scale and use a servo for steering. You could also use the receiver esc combo and the motor

Always enjoyable to watch you videos ! =D Keep it up dude :D

I want to get the c14 or the c24 and put the 180 engine and new servo and esc with metal drive shafts but i don't know what truck to get they both look great

Nice work. I just finished one aswell. Great little trucks for the cash.

nice tighten up/cleanup!! do you ever use washes on your trucks? "grime, grease, fill in cracks"?

I paid 35$ USD for the kit version which comes with a better motor and servo.... that cost included an aftermarket esc for it.... all I needed was a radio... with a real servo and esc it's a fun little truck

Will advice going for the kit version, it got softer tires, bigger motor, a real steering servo

Jewelry beads work good for shift knobs

Isn't that toy grade steering just wonderful. Some parts from the 1/18 Gll I think will work. The driveshafts and the R5 transmission V2. Not sure though. haven't tried it yet. For the price you get a real nice body.

good

I don't know.... It looks like a keeper 2 me 👍

Some Molotow Liquid Chrome inside those light buckets and some Tamiya Transparent Yellow on the glass would be sweet! I feel the body color was a missed upertunity though? Or, it may just be that Im sort of tired of the sandy looking color being on so many rigs of simular type. Having seen your previous work I just hoped you would go to town on it I guess..haha :)

The kit comes with a real mini servo. You should check out " rc tanks and trucks 24/7 ",he did a build video. Looks awesome btw!

i got the kit version, if you get a micro servo it should fit in there

Come on ya know your dying to update the electronics, I did it on my 1/16 Heng Long and used " what was lying around " 0 $ spent on changeover , micro servo ,losi micro crawler ESC and micro receiver , turned out great and even used the stock 6V battery as to not over tax the drivetrain , keep the videos coming 👍👍

what is the wheelbase?

The steering. It IS a motor servo. LOL Ya can upgrade the motor to a 370, add a 22-sp trans and metal drive shafts for less than $25 and it'll be okay.

Haha... they way you said 'It's bad...' when removing the shocks.. that made me laugh. But with a little effort, ( which is also half the fun), got something half decent from it! Btw, if you want a nice Micro crawler I'd take a look at the Orlando. (Though I'm guessing you've seen that already?).

It is a cool looking little truck, I would have painted it blue... But the Toyota truck I owned was blue lol. Shame the steering is so weird.

😂😂😂 That steering is terrible, The body looks killer now 👍🏻👍🏻 Hey it's all about having fun right. Great work man!!!!

That's sick, bro. I just bought the Kit version of that truck. I might just make mods as I build it. Hey, you've got truck wheels on that rat rod in the background on the right. Where'd they come from? I'm going to be building an awd RC Kenworth, but the donor drivetrain has knobbies; I need to find some scale wheels for it. Any suggestions?

Anyone knows the wheelbase on this..?…tnx

Put an scx24 steering servo in it

eBay has all the parts you need!

i would put hobby grade parts in it and make one cool mini scale crawler. i'm thinking about picking up one is it worth the money?

that's like mine with the steering but do u know what I need to do to fix it

Let me know how long and how tall, I can cut you some Toyota stripe decals in that size, or TRD logos

Tell me about the 2 rat rods please?

Can’t find that link to your other channel

The ATR BangGood one is a little cheaper and it comes with an actual servo. I would rather assemble it myself instead of taking it apart to customize it.

I just can't see the one I have even being used for spares n repairs! Very cheap plastics! I did salvage the fake shackles for my ftx out back mini.

Hey

It comes in tan though wtf

Lol it's junk ha ha no it looks cool great video

Tires look like knock off Pitbull Rock Beast

Mico servo drone esc it be cooler

Servo sounds like a throwout application simular To a centripetal clutch on that of a motor scooter. Weirdest thing

watch RCMojo youtube channel. See what he does with the Wpl Heng Long truck. Very cool, it's about fun.

M i good the you man you good perfect

I think somethings wrong with yours bud. Mine don’t do that.

Non proportional steering.

1/16 is just kinda useless , it's a shame they don't offer a serious of different size scale bodies in the same or comparison price ranges , 1/2 1/8 1/10 ... This entire model kit costs the same or even less than a lexan or pwc body ...and that's with in low end prices .. Parma now has a 1/8 ..1/ 10th lexan body series that are made to turn your truggy or short track truck into a pavement racer ..which is becoming a outlaw kinda racing group I've come across guys using their Traxxas rustlers or associated rc 10 gts on a parking lot oval track , I've seen this in a few different cities over the past 15 years ..which I thought reminded me of old school back woods 1/4 mile dirt tracks .. I've ran on those tracks a bit and had a blast ..rock crawling is a lot of fun .. but I would Shure like to see a standardized scale . I have built hand made aluminum bodies , street rod /rat rod sort of things ..which is where I'll probably end up going again ..it's slow and building a (buck) or form out of plywood is really time consuming but being on a fixed income im limited to hands on . I've found that coil stock from siding applicators to be very easy to use . The cool part is that because the coils stock is painted with a pic paint I can use pvc glue to hold body pannels together . The key word is this pvc is poly vinyl cloride (vinyl ) the glue sets instantly .I also use jb weld for body filler as it doesn't popo off like Bondo in an impact .. I've also found that the coil stock is really awesome for making boat hulls .. especially scale ships .

Lol you could have bought it tan

your servo is too fast not so powerful

bullshit. spend 10000 dollars be happy.
