After the first look it was time to strip it down, paint it and change those awful axles.. Here's how it went!

@MrDevo5

everydays a school day. just checked the driveshafts on my cars and virtually eveyone out of phase. thanks for that info.

@WestyCoastHermit

The Jimmy is looking good! I'll be interested to see how much of an improvement the drive will be. Thank you for the wheelbase measurement. I have a Rock Van with a wheelbase of around 160mm and my son has a trx4m with a wheelbase of around 150mm. I'm thinking the Jimny body might fit with some modifications. I love WPL for what it is but I wouldn't mind having a more capable Jimny. Looking forward to the next video!

Glad you weren't hurt in the fire. Looked horrible!

@JoseGarcia-yk3dl

Hello! When you switched to another receiver and drive, do you think it worked more tactilely on the throttle at low speed? What did you use as a substitution? Thanks

@Dreiviertel

Very nice colour. Maybe a black inside and doorlines would look even better.👍

@jercsgn

What are those driveshafts? I still haven’t seen an aftermarket for c74 specifically. I just uploaded a video as well.

@daysofrc

Mine was out of phase as well. Did your exact same swap with the steel driveshafts and it’s helped it loads.

@Rc_Alex_76

Lioks brilliant 👏

@sgecko7

I've built a couple of WPL metal kits and put a HobbyWing 1080 with a DumboRC receiver on each one, with different levels of modding/trimming needed depending on the model (the Land Cruiser and the URAL truck). I'm planning on getting this Jimny, but it seems it doesnt have enough space for that ☹.

@leirameirarc

Great video. I just ordered the metal driveshafts!

@rightmeifiamwrong

why axel swap is a must? What it helps with? Btw mine had driveshaft done right

@AzPoorBoys

So i switched the pumpkin like you explained. But my axles spin in opposite directions. Any clue why?

@BulbBunny

You did a wonderful job on the paint and fine details of it, thank you for pointing out that it is a true 1/10th, just curious on what that little hatch is on the roof of the vehicle, if it was on the real one or not.

@Fortes_RC_Adv

Great video👍

@chudsrc

I got mine on original release from WPL and have been busy painting and detailing the body, not even run it yet !

@eriksimca9409

with the board you just mustve been unlucky, ive never had any issues with any of mine, not trying to say their cheap board style is the way to go, id swap it out in a heartbeat for a real esc, but its definitely enough to get around, but the driveshaft problem really sucks, mine is exactly the same, ive been thinking of maybe trying LDrcs driveshafts just to get around the issue on the cheap as i have 2 ldrc unimogs in parts, i just dont remember if the diameter of the holes for the connections are the same
