I have basically the exact same setup except for your wheels and suspension setup. I'm running tha aluminum v4s wheels, and the metal copy of wpls plastic shocks. So, my servo bumps up into the original plate where the servo was mounted originally. So, I'm gonna need to extend my shock length. I have the same mount extentions you have for your shocks. So I'm gonna try and use those together first. If that doesn't work, I have a set of 48mm injoras. Hopefully they give me the clearance I need to keep my servo from touching the bottom of the aluminum plate. Awesome vid! Thanks for giving me ideas on how I could fix my problem. If there's anything else you can think of, let me know! ✌️🖖🍻

@ReadytoRunRC I ordered a carbon frame, clearanced servo mount bracket and all metal suspension and axles with axle mount servo, metal 2 speed and a pair of jx 17.5g servos, some metal axles and beadlocks all I have left is an esc, tx/rx and a body I think

3:37 When I steer to the left, the car leans down, and when I steer to the right, it doesn't lean. And the left steering angle appears to be slightly larger than the right. I have a stock C24 and discovered this symptom. I watched your video while trying to figure out if this was just my problem or everyone else's problem. Is this a chronic problem with crawling RC cars?

@CarminesRCTipsandTricks Жыл бұрын

I KNEW IT! Thank you for proving it. 😎 My C14-1 arrives today,,, sometime. I have no idea how much plastic will be under mine. So I'm waiting before ordering. BUT, since the first one of these I saw that CMS - DOES NOT WORK with the WPL geometry. Axle Mounted Servo IS the way to go! These are not "Scale" but are quite impressive despite that. Great looking, tons of potential, good aftermarket support. I'm funny... EVERYTHING of mine has some kind of Driver figure. Do you know what size Figure will fit? I'm AWARE that either cutting the figure and/or cutting the Cab will be necessary after looking at my Grandson's C24. Watched this whole series. Enlightening!!

@IowaBudgetRCBashers 2 жыл бұрын

I couldn’t get the steering to work with the metal links and those shocks, so I just ordered the servo mount kit . Not as scale looking but will work much much better I hope anyway

I can see where CMS is not the best option for these. If my Wraith can perform amazingly with Axle Mounted Servo. And that's a $1200 Brushless BEAST, nearly capable of anything.... Than I'm completely OK with these little guys! ;)

Hey man, you have an awesome truck! I love these WPL trail rigs. So much fun to tinker with! I’m building one now and have a few questions. Where did you buy the shocks and do you prefer them over the stock ones? What is the advantage of the axle mounted servo? More weight lower in the front? Lastly, what do you think is the best upgrade you have done? Thanks again for your awesome content! Subed!

@ReadytoRunRC 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks! It took a lot of tinkering around for me too to get it to where it is now. The shocks were from Amazon. I have links to everything on this build in each of my WPL C14 build video descriptions. The shocks I used have about the same spring rate as stock. With these aluminum ones I can adjust them and pre load the springs if I wanted. The advantage of the axle mounted servo is to make the center of gravity lower but it also helps with bump steering because it is always at the same angle as the axle. The best upgrade for me was the motor. The stock motor and gearing was just terrible and this turned into a little beast with that motor and metal gear transmission. Good luck with your build and thank you for subbing to the channel!

@mark-mj5dl Жыл бұрын

you need better tires and to droop the front and weight the tires and glue them cuz they were slipping when you did the crawl test at your house then it should climb the dam. I have enjoyed this series a lot, thank you for the great vid.

@ReadytoRunRC Жыл бұрын

I put these tires on bead locks and tried climbing the dam. It didn’t stick to it. Not enough grip. Thanks for watching the series on it. I will be doing some more mods in the near future on this.

Nice video thanks for sharing,I went with the same 2speed motor but I have a problem now if I’m going forward it just turned to reverse automatically and stops by itself in few seconds I push reverse goes by it self as well and doesn’t stop after few seconds. Any idea or suggestions on what to do ? The servo for the steering is working and the one for the 2nd speed. Is just back and forward the issue 😅.

@ReadytoRunRC Жыл бұрын

Thank you! I can't narrow that down to 1 thing wrong. Sounds to me its either transmitter, receiver or esc. Not sure if you are still running stock on either of those things but I would start with the transmitter and try and troubleshoot that first.

@ramsessilent 2 жыл бұрын

think i would have added the back servo just to add the weight and give you a little more traction control. sence you have to take it apart anyway.

@ReadytoRunRC 2 жыл бұрын

I could add some BB's in the tires to add weight down low too.

I did this mod to relocate the servo above the axle. But now I have no suspension travel as the servo strikes the underside of the car.

@ReadytoRunRC Жыл бұрын

Yeah that will happen. It does on mine too. I have some travel.

@Captain_Tool_Vicarious Жыл бұрын

Use the original plastic servo and ESC housing in the front part of the frame. Just cut it out CAREFULLY!! and only cut out enough to allow space for the servo to travel beyond those touch points. 😉✌️🍻
