Pictures really don't do this truck any justice, in person its absolutely breathtaking!
Out of the box its performance is phenomenal, plenty of draw current getting to the motor and a nice aspect of slow control.
Perfect for hitting the trail!
This came to the market as a surprise as it wasn't officially announced by WPL.
It's a collaboration between RBR/C and WPL, outside of the scale model scene the owners of both companies are good friends and go 1:1 offroading together.

good stuff, now try my budget mods on it... the tire clipping, the deep dished stock rims, 9 wraps 2 mm solder to the front rims between the tire beads, and the longer shock rods... those will really show what a C24 can do! still running B36 gearbox in mine but did go the stock looking metal axle casings for a little more weight down low. all that maybe cost 20 bucks, gains flex, stability, traction, and puts weight up front for traction+steering when it gets steep. without the metal axle casings it'd be maybe 8 bucks, and some time of course.
How do you make longer shock rods? Im trying to go budget too, only have upgraded tires.
Thank you so much for going over your electronics setup! I've been having hell trying to get mine working and so many issues with wires breaking/coming undone. Definitely looking into these parts 🙌🏼
Many thanks from West Texas.
Thank you man! Awesome spec list👍👍👍
Your welcome, budget upgrades that make a massive difference 💪
Again, another excellent video Liam! Thanks for sharing it! Have a good one Bro.
Cheers bro 😊
Nice one dude!!! The only thing isn't hobby grade of WPLs is the electronics.. and that's it. It's a good entry level hobby grade rc
Great informative video. Nice to see that level of explanation & detail.
Cheers bro!
If you need anymore information just ask 😊
Herbal-dankness brother! Ride on!
Utterly slick buddy.... 👍👍👍👍🏆🥇
You'll have to do this to your c24 bro 💪
got mine week ago, wpl is great brand to be basic rc for customize Nice
Very nice informative video. I'll definitely share with my friends who are interested in getting into WPL
Cheers bro, massively appreciated!
You've got a nice back catalogue to show then aswel 💪
Very nice car and video. Thumbs up! 😉
Awesome and thanks for the links! 👍🏻🍻
Cheers bro, your welcome, anytime 👊😊
Looks neat need to add this to my collection.
Highly recommended bro, I'd love to see what you do to it when you get your hands on one💪
Very nice crawler looks amazing great video I liked 👍👍
Cheese bud!
It's a different machine with thr 2 speed and hobbygrade electronics 💪
Very cool I have been looking at this model just for a bit fun thanks for showing
It's an awesome bit of fun bud, they are very addictive 😂
You'll end up with a small fleet before you know it 😂
@@THYC lol
thanks for the list of parts, I have a two speed I was going to fit in a B-1 but I think I will add it to my daughters c24 now I have seen this
The 2 speed will fit perfectly into the b1 aswel, I have one in my b24 😊
It's nice you've got your daughter into trailing 👍
its hard to keep her of my Tamiya stuff so this is perfect for her, she loves this stuff and that keeps me happy also :)
I'm glad that's possible! I've got a FlySky Radio, and am ecstatic that if I get a bunch of WPLs... I don't have to deal with a BOX of Remotes, one for each Truck!!
Definitely want a single speed 370 Gearbox. And my Radio has Exponential settings, to make the starts even smoother!
Nice to see your face in a video
I would love to have one they are great out of the box slightly.
I am planning to get an hs 18322 as mine first rc car , wish i could get one quick
Cool video pal! Interesting informations..
Cheers bro, thanks for tuning in 👊😊
Awesome video! Inspired me to upgrade my stock C24. So much better with the 2spd gearbox! The lights though, where did you source those?
Nice Video, very informative... SUBSCRIBED!!!
Cheers bro, massively appreciated 👊😊
a very tough and very good car
success always friends
Cheers bud 👊😊
Great Bro!
Cheers bro 👊😊
Nice video dude! Nice stickers 👌 👍 😄
The stickers make such a big difference, I love them, cheers bro, awesome quality 💪
Great
good to know man wanted to see what to throw on it
Theres so many upgrades out there for these trucks, I personally think these are the most beneficial ones to be had
Awesome build. Taking notes for my first build. where did you get the aux lights?
nice vid! big like, my rc friend!👍👍👍
Cheers bro 🍻😊
Thank you so much for this haha
Your welcome bro 👊😊
Nice mate 🔥🔥😃👌😮😎
Cheers bro 👊😊
Great video. Thanks. Did you buy the steering and gear-change servo separately?
Thanks.
A 17g steering servo is included with the C24-1 RTR and kit.
The 9g servo is included with the 2 speed gearbox.
that's great I wonder can anything be added to make a paintable gel. slap it on a chassis give it time then rub it off
🔥🔥
Another great video. How's your experience with parts breaking on these WPLs. I'm thinking it might be worth ordering some spare parts as backup to avoid any disappointed faces come Christmas. I've already had to replace a drive shaft and motor on the two MN99s I got a month ago.
MN uses a slightly softer more flexible plastic than WPL, and the weakest link with WPL are the axle bridges that the lower rods and shocks mount to. very good idea to have a spare set of those.
I just bought my nephew one of these to play with so he wasn't thrashing my more expensive rgt 1/10 and well I've almost taken his over, that little cheap thing is a stout little crawler in stock form especially for the money it could use a bit more torque and tires would definitely help. I've thought about buying some 12mm hex adapters so I could put my spare 1/10 wheels on it but I don't think that's a great idea I think just some softer tires would be enough
Great video my friend, just got mine 3 days ago, now the journey begins lol. Already painted it all in frey black and anthracite grey and it looks awesome, in my opinion. I have looked all over the place for a Toyota Transfer decal for the tailgate, where did you find yours mate. Keep up the good work and I am sure I will certainly returning to your channel to swat up on other stuff. Cheers.
Awesome little rig for the money, but it seems like the underside of the chassis should have a skid plate to avoid hang-ups on rocks and obstacles when high centered.
Great video! Couple of questions - does the 2 speed come with a servo? What's the other servo linked in the description for? And do you need to do any soldering etc or is it all just plug and play? Thanks!
Yes the 2 speed comes with a sma 9g servo to change gear.
No soldering needed for servos, all plug and play 😊
Random question, so I just ordered this truck today. Was wondering where you got the tailgate toyota sticker for it?
Hey Liam.. I have a c14 (130 motor) and c24-1 (180 motor) and the stock receiver boards failed.. I already have new 3 wire servos, but looking to upgrade just the tx/rx/esc's and keep everything else stock (motors, batteries/connectors, etc) Recommendations on going that route? The 20A esc in your list of parts requires new connectors on the motor/batteries (JST?) and I'm not sure if it's compatible w the stock motors/batteries
When you made your custom wheel weights,How many grams was each tire after the wheel weights was added.
How do you connect the existing? Wpl vehicle. Plugs, which are all? Small little white plastic plugs that vary from 2 pin, 3 pin and I think the LED lights are A5 or four or five pin into a new receiver. For example I have a spectrum 3300 which has five channels. And the pins are three pins, but I can't use the little white plugs in there. Do I need to change the plugs or get adapters? Grateful for any help. Thank you.
Can I get a link to those upgrades? I’m new to all this and don’t even know where to start. My new c24-1 should be here next week.
Hi.great video.You have a jst connector on your motor.Does that come with the 2 speed transmission?
I got a pack of JST cables separately 😁
If i want to upgrade my motor, what else should i need to upgrade?
Where do you get the Toyota decals? Great video
Awesome vids! Whered u get your toyota tailgate decal from?
Thanks for tuning in 👊😁
My buddy Samax RC printed them for me 😁
ok so I found this video and I decided to build one. Can I use a 30A esc on this? the 20A is no longer available. Also can I use a bigger battery as long as it is using jst connection?
B16 was my first ever 2 speed and i fell in love with the performance, i want to do my C24 as well. Was there any problems you faced putting the 2 speed in?
No problems, fits perfectly without any modification needed 😊
Is the c24-1 the ugrade version from c24?
Hi there great video I'm thinking of buying the kit version what electronics do you recommend
My 2 favourite setups are currently my Austar ax6 rxtx with 20amp esc.
The RES 3 is the best control and functionality so far!
So can I just get the 2 peed and not get any other of the parts for the 2 speed to work
Hi .. is the first gear on the 2 speed gear box slower rotation at the wheels compared to the stock 180 gear box ?
Yes much slower with lots more torque
What kindof weels do you have
Got the same ESC coming for my CR24 build. Am I right in thinking the button is for a drag brake?
It's a throttle brake, after releasing the throttle the next time you push thr throttle nothing happens until you apply it again
Sorry to bother you but you were very helpful before. I just upgraded my motor to the 260. It works great but in reverse there is such low power it can't even reverse most of the time because there is not enough power? Can you please help
Since u are using the 20amp esc if I were to get the same esc but 30 amp would it make any difference
There is not much difference between the 20 and 30 both are very good 😁
will the stock batteries that come with the kit work with the electronics upgrades? or will I have to buy another battery with the correct fittings??
If you have a kit you won't get a battery.
The battery that comes with the RTR is a jst-sm connector.
The ESC in the video needs a standard jst connector 😁
👌💪😉
Can i use the stock radio controller for that esc and receiver? Im guessing ch3 will be the on/off switch?
No
Hello
Hey buddy this is a country boy for Tennessee. I was wondering if you can see how the truck acts like with the front drive shaft removed? I bought one for my son for Christmas and have ordered a bunch of up grades which was over 100 dollars lol the truck was only 49 bucks. I am so tempted to open it up and put the mods on and play with it but with my luck I'll break it and cant fix it before Christmas. Thanks for the video buddy I hope you have a Merry Christmas
It will act like the real truck, you'll have better steering but less traction.
Its tempting I know 😂
It would be a nice experience upgrading it alongside your boy 💪
Thank bro!
A very merry Christmas to you to! 🥳🎄🎁
Did you have to glue the tires? And if possible could I have the link to them?
You can use CA or a super glue.
I recommend using foams to support your tires.

How to connect a speaker to this receiver and the lights that came with the kit.
Hey man! I want to upgrade mine!!! Are the electronics water resistant? I would love to be able to play in the snow with it (I live in Canada)🥶
No they are not, but they are very easy to make waterproof 😊
Balloon, ziptie and silicone sealant 😊

Nice set up. I’ve got 2 of these in kit form I still need to build. I’ve got a full KM set including wheel weights plus 2speed/370 motor for one and just metal axles and driveshafts for the other since it will be lowered. I have 30amp esc’s and FS GT5 transmitter/receiver for them. What light set up are you using there? Does it have brake lights?
Get building bro! 💪
I've just got a c24km kit in, it's nearly done 🥳
As for lights I dont normally run them when I upgrade to hobbygrade but you can plug thr lights into a spare channel to power them, if you want to control them you can you this cheap switch

Hello. That esc can take a winch? nice channel, thank you ;)
I think is dependent on your rxtx setup, if you have a 3 way switch then yes you can control the winch via that.
If you have a button press switch you can get a winch control switch for it.
Great videos , where do you get the upgrade parts for it ?
Cheers bro.
Hobbygrade electronics from Banggood.
Everything else is from the WPL store 😊
@@THYC thanks bro :) i have one and seen alot of metal parts on aliexpress , do you know if they are i direct fit by any chance ? Have you had any experience with them ? Cheers bro
I noticed that the lights that was plugged on the receiver is white, does it have similar wiring as the stock yellow ones?
Same connector on the warm white that you get in the kit, plug them into a spare channel 😁
@@THYC thanks! This really helped a lot!
will the flysky reciever work with that transmitter?
If it has 3 or more channels yes 😊
Do i need to upgrade transmitter/receiver if i get the 2 speed gear box?
Yes, you need a remote with a 3rd channel to change gear 😁
Could go the budget stand alone hobby grade route like in this video or get the WPL RES 3 all in one setup.
Hey man nice upgrades! I’ve recently upgraded using the same components. I’m having an issue in second gear, sounds like the cogs are slipping but I can’t figure out why. The car sounds terrible and chudders. It runs fine when going slower in first gear. Any suggestions?
I just figured out the problem. The gear box servo arm isnt allowing the motor to fully extend the gear box back causing it to skip. However none of the servo arms fix it. None of them allow the gearbox to fully extend back.
Ed just done a video tutorial on this issue 😊
ua-cam.com/video/h0NaSTe4gxE/v-deo.html
Hello ... again... i saw another video, in that you have the RES-V3 radio ESC... which set up you recomend? This one or the WPL RES-V3?
I've been using the v3 lately and its phenomenal, I'd say it's a better setup, it's so slow and controlled 🤤
@@THYC you must upload a video with that! Once again, thank you ;)
How you make the tires softer? I'm dont speak english, if you can write for me hehe
do you have to change the ESC if your changing the battery?
If you want to go higher than 2s then yes you would have to upgrade, the RES 3 can handle 3s 😊
The stock board is designed for 2s with a 6v low voltage Cutoff 😊
Hope that helps bro 🍻
Hello, could you please share with me the ESc, Motor & tires that you put in, can I find them on AMAZON or EBAY? thanks
Thats awesome! Any best electronics recommendations for the Ural to achieve this awesome quality? :P
Any RXTX will do the job, WPL has a new 15a stand alone esc which gives a smoother throttle modulation than the red 20a esc.
www.wpl-rc.com/products/2s-15a-esc?ref=THYC_RC
@@THYC My stuff is all Stock inside and this is my first normal RC car since i was a kid, i had that bad type of cars which was not proportional, and moved only forward and backwards, but i really love the ural for a start as i cannot afford anything is, im still in debt because of the ural haha :D If you have a little bit of free time for me, can you Please link all the electronics from controller to motor everything, that would be the best and compatible with the ural to assemble? Im really bad at this yet :D
Thanks for the anwser and helping me out, cheers ;)
@@drakeblackk If your new WPL is the perfect place to learn how to upgrade electronics and learn new skills like soldering for example.
The RES V3 all in one system is a good start if you want more features and a bigger motor down the line.
Great control with a 180 motor.
www.wpl-rc.com/products/r-e-s-v3?ref=THYC_RC
Or you can go what I call hobbygrade, much like in this video. A stand alone esc with a Rxtx combo.
Any RXTX setup will work, I'm using the austar ax6 in the video.
WPL has a new 15A stand alone esc which has a smoother throttle modulation than the 20a one used in this video.
Also use a WPL battery which saves having to get a new one.
www.wpl-rc.com/products/2s-15a-esc?ref=THYC_RC
Hope that helps.
@@THYC Thanks for the ideas, everyone says that the wpl stuff are bad, in our RC Facebook group in my country they dont really like wpl, and as far as i experienced with the original electronics, they are right. The model itself is cool but i dont know how cool the whole RES3 system is compared to a real Best Quality one. Im new to the whole RC thing, im 3D printing on it, thats all the upgrades i have, i have a 2 speed motor as the only electronic upgrade, but yeah, original esc gives no chance to even plug in the servo for it and not even the controller has control for 2 servos... :D So you say the RES3 would be the best.... It is the same ESC as the standalone version, right? I will need a better controller for sure because this one is too cheapish for me, but if you say that the res3 stuff trustable, then i will save my money for that.
Thanks very much again! :)
The RES 3 has 100x times better control than the basic rtr electronics, especially in low gear 🤤
It's a different 2 in 1 ESC and RX with many cool features.
Lots of videos out there and I used the RES V3 in most of my trucks.
If you plan on getting many types of RC go the hobby RXTX route and just add a RX and ESC to each new car 😁
Do you have the list of the parts?
When you put the soft tires on did you put wheel weights on them as well?
In this video no, the video after where I tested it i added weights then 😊
Awesome thank you! Just got my c24-1 and I'm ready to upgrade
Question, if my c24 is losing throttle power.. do you recommend to buy a 2 gearbox?
Could be the brushes in the 180 giving in, either get a replacement motor or upgrade the gearbox and electronics like in this video
What softer tires should I put on this
Any of these will fit, choose the soft option from the drop down menu 😁
www.wpl-rc.com/collections/tires?ref=THYC_RC
I think you were still in high gear when going over the tyres.
Do u need to buy 2 new servos for the 2 speed or not?
Gearbox comes with 9g gear change servo included
Nice upgrades👍 Will the metal drive shafts work with the stock 180 motor/transmission?
I've tried with the c14/24 and the answer is no because the motor outputs shafts are slightly longer on the 180 gearbox resulting in a tight drive shaft fitting, when the truck flexes it puts pressure on the pinion and gearbox.
The other models like c34/44 and b14/24 have a longer wheelbase so they fit just fine
@@THYC yup, not without trimming 2 mm off both ends of the gearbox output shaft, filing splines, grinding flat spots for the grub screws. the metal CV type shafts ARE a little long and will "end stuff" if the output shaft is full length. simple to do with a file or a rotary tool like a dremel, but if not done you'll get articulation problems.
another note.. the final output gear is on a spline, it takes some force to slide it back a mm... its usually the rear coming up that much too long and the drive shaft assembly itself lacking the needed end play.
they have to be MADE to fit, for them to work together properly. without the little extra done, they don't! the spline and gearbox will get pressure on them, but its the plastic axle bridge that will suffer+fail quickest for it, cracking right at the mount screw for the axle as quick as it takes a hard bump or flex. been there!
@@THYC I think I’m gonna order the two speed motor/trans with metal drive shafts, I already have a Hobbywing 1080 esc and 4 channel radio but what light switch did you use? Thanks for sharing all the info👍👍
Yup perfect said bro, I tried and snapped a truss once upon a time 😔
Sounds like a nice setup bro.
The lights I got had one built in but people use these ones, you can control 2 sets of lights with this switch

Any video on how to actually mod. As I have no experience with any electronic work.
About half way through I show how the electronics are wired up 😁
So I'm brand new to the hobby(about 2 weeks), is the v3 all in one from wpl not hobby grade? Its got an auto drag brake, low voltage alert, sound system...etc. I bought that and 2 kits. I also bought a 30 amp receiver like yours and a flysky gt3. Haven't received everything yet so I can't judge myself...
Yes the v3 is an amazing piece of kit, I've just got my 1st one, its controls everything and the throttle modulation is out of this world, you can go soo slow!
I also love the engine noise 🤤
@@THYC Outstanding! Btw thanks for the reply!
👍🏻
👊😊🍻🍻🍻
Hey can you tell me what tyres you put on them? I am looking to mod mine but don’t know what ones they are
Same tyres just a soft kit version :)
www.wpl-rc.com/collections/c14/products/tires-v1?ref=THYC_RC
Please reply:if I upgrade to the 370 motor will it be faster with stock transmission
What 370 are you referring to?
The wpl 2 speed comes with a 370, 1st gears is super slow and torquey, 2nd is nice and fast.
The single speed 370 is very slow and torquey
Now working?
So one of my lads' C24 has just stopped - motor intermittent - but steering ok, lights ok, batteries ok (tried different transmitters = ok). SO it's either the speed control or the motor - If I get the speed controller you list, does this replace the circuit board in the C24 and therefore do I also need a receiver? In which case - it's looking like an expensive upgrade at over £50... Is there a cheaper way to do this?
It's more than likely the Motor has burnt out, cheap to replace, try giving the motor some power directly to see if it spins.
If it does spin then yes it will be the esc, you can get just the board, it will automatically bind to the remote.
Let me know what your motor does and if you need any links
@@THYC I ran a meter over the motor's terminals and it read whenever I used the throttle, on a couple of occasions motor buzzed... I've ordered an uprated motor and metal gearbox from China (x2) in case the other lad's goes... about £15 a piece... Will update in a fortnight... taa
@@THYC I replaced the motor - it works - but I've found that the rear drive-shaft/universal joint doesn't fit the gap between the motor and the rear axle-box... in fact, it was such a squeeze the rear bevel gear sheared off... so I fitted (£28) new metal axles/driveshafts - which are great - but the drive shaft is still too long... Resorted to fitting the old plastic shafts/Ujs but they don't last long (screw wears away the threaded hole and it works loose). Any suggestions about a shorter driveshaft?
How did you write Toyota on the tailgate?
Decals are from Samax RC, look him up on FB 😁
@@THYC thanks
whats the difference with plastic and metal kits? is there a difference in the way it helps it offroad?
The KM kit is hands down the best value kit, comes with added dual speed gearbox with 370 motor, a set of wheels weights and the 4x4 metal axle upgrade pack.
All 3 of these additions make a massive difference in performance offroad 💪
no like whats the difference if u were to modify your like driveshaft and stuff to metal? would it change anything
@@rob5188 the metal axles have more steering angle.
The metal driveshafts are only needed when using the upgraded 370 motor.
If you are using the stock 180 motor they will be abig tight on the C14/24.
@@THYC oh alr thanks
Top speed?
its the AX5S austar 3 chanel.
Sorry mis read, I thought you asked will the flysky work with the 2 speed.

These Lil trucks are so cool ! I have not bought one yet ,but plan to in the near future ,I just put a crawler on layaway at pawn shop across from my work ,I have a small fleet ,2 jato and 4 tmaxx nitro trucks, and 1/18 wltoys a959b ,I'm wondering I see everyone is upgrading to 370 ,that is what comes stock in the wltoys a959,the a959b comes with a 540 huge brushed motor and the little buggy hauls a$$ ! I was wondering is there room to put a 540 motor in one of these little trucks ? I know anything is possible with rc build but I'm asking if anyone has tried this yet ? Or to ask it more simple ,has anyone made a really fast one ? After I finish paying of redcat crawler I'll be buying one of these bad boys !!
Which are the correct metal drive shafts, I ordered a set and thier to bloody long. Don't fit.
There's 1 size for the 4x4 range, the C14/24 chassis is slightly shorter than the rest so a dual speed gearbox is needed as the output shafts are shorter than the original gearbox.
@@THYC Ah..I see. they don't bloody tell you that before you buy them. So the iv got the correct shafts, but iv now got to buy a new gearbox aswell in order for them to fit? Cheers
@@k1ortia I will ask Ed to add a note to the product description 😁
The plastic shafts are more than strong enough for the stock motor setup.
Keep them aside for another truck or future upgrades.
@@THYC yes, the stock ones are fine, but you know yourself, it's like Pringles. Once you start modding you can't stop. I would just like to make this truck as good as I can. And looking trick.
Is there a way to attach a hitch on it
Yes, there is a huge wpl 3d printing community out there that can print you anything 😊
@@THYC awesome will definitely be purchasing one
Im a newbie to upgrading. When you upgrade these parts youre talking about is there any soldering needed? Or all just plug n play? Thanks.
Yes you will need to solder the motor wire to the motor.
When I started I didn't know how to solder, it's a great place to learn 😊
how do you decrease the turn radius?
You want less angle or more?
@@THYC more angle. Means smaller circle when turning.
also is there a way or mod to lock differential?
@@ighfirlee get the 4x4 metal upgrade kit, that has cvd joints, so much more angle, then you can get 3d printed lower links to use the full lock
