Great location 😍 excellent work 😉👍 very nice vidéo 👍😉
Thank you, my friend.✌️🤩
Agreed 🤜🤛
That c24 is awesome bud!!!!
Thank you! Built this one up last year and it has been rock solid ever since! Thanks for watching!
@@VermontScaleCustoms that's how kermit is my c54 honestly I think he's my favorite so far that I've owned
Love what you've done with this truck,brilliant video dude👍😀😀😀👌👌
Thank you! The best part is that it runs without breaking. Thanks for watching :)
Such a nice build
Nice video Mark,showing the capabilities of what a "slightly" modified wpl truck can do.Loved the scene at 6:54 and beyond,would be a cool photo also!
P.s Little speed never hurt!
Ever since the 60A ESC went in, this truck has literally left my jaw dropped so many times when I've had it out. I give a lot of credit to the wheel and tire combo, too. Well, the entirely "slightly" modified truck, itself, yes. But the ESC just lit the whole thing up like never before. Going to finally glue these beadlocks. Did you catch that the left rear popped out?
That Bouncing is so Realistic. I Love this... I am Getting one soon.
Thanks for watching! That's a highly modified aftermarket chassis and filmed in 1080p/120fps for slow motion playback. It's probably at about 1/4 speed. That's why it looks so realistic.
amazing truck 🤤🤤👍
Thank you! Thanks for watching!✌️😎
nice rock climbing, great bro👍😀
Thank you! Thanks for watching.✌️🤩
Yeah what he said!!
very beautiful rig 👍👍 great work
Thank you! Still running strong, too.
That was nice 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🍿🍿🍿💯💯
Thank you! Got a couple more good ones coming up, too. Stock up on the popcorn.
@@VermontScaleCustoms I drop a couple of videos yesterday 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
@@r.a.wrcfootage5511 sometimes YT will show me a bunch of them in one day and sometimes it spreads them out over a couple of days. I try to watch as many as I can . I may not comment on every one of them but I always drop a like. Even on the shorts.
Very nice Truck and cool Stone Location
Thank you and thanks for watching!👍🤩
Amazing crawl love how that engine works I gave a similar experience I took mine out of a fc model f1 jeep that was too fast in the jeep to get it to crawl now I can't keep my truck going all the time thou I wonder is it's my esc
I think those stock WPL escs have a max output of 10-15A. You may want to upgrade to a 40A or 60A ESc in order to handle the load. It's probably stalling the motor for lack of current. Which could possibly affect other functions. I'm not sure if that would have anything to do with your binding issue, though.
@@VermontScaleCustoms I found out I had hair in my front right tire all bound up I am going to try and find a 60 a esc it would give me more options as well as I think the 60a has a winch input and sound I like the sound mods gives it a realistic sound in slow motion
@@benjamincloutiermainerc I don't know much about WPL electronics since I don't run them in any of my stuff. But I do know they updated their main V3 electronics ESC. That's the one that has built-in winch control and sound output. A 60A ESC doesn't come with that sort of functionality. You would need to get a good 4 or 6 channel radio and transmitter setup to handle all that extra function.
@@VermontScaleCustoms they sell the v3 with controller and sound system and a winch but as I see that I should go with a 60a but I need to find one that isn't for a 1 /10right
@Benjamin Cloutier nah, the 60A is perfect for the 1:16 scale. I used to think the same thing until I tried it in my C54. It changed everything about how it drives. It gave the motor so much more current to work with as well as usable throttle, etc. I'll honestly never run WPL electronics just because I have switched almost everything over to 40A or better in all of my WPL trucks. The two trucks I have with 60A in them are absolute beasts.
If you're into trailing and running in the backyard, you're fine with the WPL electronics, in my opinion.
In my opinion, if you want to take it to heavy load rock crawling where low speed and holding throttle position and having the ability to micro adjust is essential then you need to go aftermarket. I'll argue that with anyone all day long. I use a FlySky transmitter for all my WPL rigs and my Redcat Gen7. The modulation is better than anything else I have, Axial included. And they make nice electronics fresh out of the box.
I mean, all in all, a lot of people run V3 electronics and swear by them. I have only had one V3 board and I cooked it last winter along with (2) 2-speed motors. I've never had that kind of luck with anything else so I just go with what I know.
I don't want to steer anyone wrong or off a path they think they should be on. Which is sort of why I don't generally make recommendations of what to run. It's all so uniquely built that it's tough to say what works well for would work well for anyone else.
5:00 Sick shot there with background...
I definitely miss The Stancliff Pit / Quarry.
@@VermontScaleCustoms I am going through the playlist heheh. Thanks for making them. I recycled a Couple Power cells. and Made a 2s 7.4v battery with 3 wire charging balance port . Wife's youngest got in trouble so i have to stop spending for a little. UGh dang kids.
As you can see, I spent some time out there just running trucks every weekend, coming home and making ASMR vids. It was definitely a thing for me for a few years. Now that I'm in IL for a while there's not much to drive on. Just trail stuff. Minimal rock crawling within short drives.
Too bad about the kid getting in trouble. Seems like being a kid is still as tough as it ever was if not even more difficult from all the distractions.
Hello from southeast alaska cool video bro
Thanks, man! Much appreciated.
I hope my c14 build crawls this well
For all the time that goes in, definitely!
It took a couple of tries to get this one just right.The 60A ESC is really what pushed this thing to the next level. It made good use of the higher Kv RGT 370 motor I put in it last year.
remember me? btw this video is good your rc is better than mine
Hello! I wouldn't say better more than I would say that I've worked on mine a lot to get it where it is. Yours can do the same thing if it had all the same components!
i like this video
I have plenty more of videos with this truck. Check out the WPL playlist and watch them all!
Oh this video Kicks A$$ !!!!
This location was less than a mile down the road from where I lived. It was a killer spot.
@@VermontScaleCustoms I need to go back to my old Rock quarry , i have couple videos of it. The Church there is Awesome, on side of the Hill too. Those Rocks of yours there Looked Slick.
I found a place for the micros and my Bully II called The Cascades. If you dig into the Bully II playlist or the 24 scale comp rig list, there are some amazing rock crawling spots. Waterfall backgrounds with some pretty crazy lines. Just some of the most amazing places to run an RC car. It was truly my happy place.
@@VermontScaleCustoms Sweet. Thank you. :)
did any one else notice that one tire wasn't on properly OCD triggered
but otherwise love the vid bro
Hence, the making of this video about two weeks later. ua-cam.com/video/OX2pdEAsRBE/v-deo.html
What size is that tyre…so hard to find 1/16 scale tyre
Fayee tires on Injora plastic beadlock rims, glued beads. If you google Fayee tires, they pop up all over the place. Truthfully, the compound is less than stellar compared to all the others out there but it works for this truck due to the lack of size options like you said.
Where did you get the rear bumper for the rig?
That is from an RC4WD Gelande II 1/18 D90, my friend. It’s actually the front bumper off that rig and got screwed right on to this as the rear. It’s also metal which is nice.
@@VermontScaleCustoms cool. Thanks. I been building and modifying my c24 . I just had to paint it nato green like yours. Got a 3d printed ESC tray from Liang RC . He’s on Etsy and installed a 1080 Hobbywing in it. Set of bead locks from Liang RC. The only pet peeve I got with WPL is the metal axles. High maintenance. Thanks for all you do. Keeps me motivated.
@@darrenmackenzie1645 Thanks for being a continual supporter of the channel. That is very much appreciated. C24's are fun to mess around with. I love that green machine. I need to get it out and run it again soon. The axles on this thing are pretty good. I usually tear them down once a year and tighten everything, lubricate, loctite, and rebuild. They're going on 3 years old and haven't given up yet. They're the boxy heavy duty with round diff, not the square one.
Now that I'm more familiar with fabricating frame links, I may try and see what I can come up with for a C44 comp rig. I see a lot of potential in that chassis being forward weighted.
What tires are you using and rims
Cheap Fayee tires on plastic beadlocks from tinyurl.com/4ra9r2pe - I can hardly recommend them if you're looking for ultimate performance. They look the part but the rubber is awful. Way too hard. Looking forward to finally switching to 5-to-7 MM adapters and using stuff from the 24 scale trucks. They make 1.2 and 1.3 rims and tires. The whole world just expanded for these trucks.
What kinda shocks are those?
The came stock with the aftermarket carbon fiber chassis. I've installed RGT pistons on them for 2-3 mm more travel. Closest I've seen to them are the RBR/C ones. I think you can find them if you search for MN upgrade shocks.
@@VermontScaleCustoms thanks a lot! great looking truck!
Are those fayee tires?
Yes, Fayee with those new MN/Injora rims. Little bit of foam in there too to hold them up in the middle.
Thanks for the info bro, I will try this setup.
@@morrisrc Nice, I think you'll like them. I've run these on all kinds of surfaces at this point and they're awesome! I cut the Injora/MN foams down about half and it gave the center fo the tire just enough to hold it up. The corners and sidewalls still have enough to compress when necessary. I will say that I have popped the bead on the left rear a couple of times since building the set. I plan on gluing them to stay because I don't see the reason to run anything else on this build.
Works a7,4v or 11,1v?
Running 7.4v 2s, seems to run fine with a 60A ESC.
Send to be in slow motion. Why?
That's the way I like to edit my videos. Not a fan of the fast jerky motion in small scale. Makes it look a little more 'realistic' or, at least believable.
Jesus, you talked throughout the whole video, I just wanted to see how it did.
I'm glad I can provide a means to the outlet of your hatred and dismissiveness. Assholes are gonna asshole!
very smooth mate, nice video, subbed
Love my Aussie subs, man! You guys are🏆🏆 Thanks for the sub, gotcha back! 🤩✌️
