LOL, I never imagined that I would ever see an [Adults Only] RC video!!!
I love how you thought about safety and the realism with the driver, the old Defender doesn't have air bags, so fit a driver with built in ones 😂😂
True!! Lmao
It's so important to have a realistic scale driver figure.
Lmao, you saw it too
🤣🤣🤣Love the silicone action! 🍻👌very scale! 😂😂😂 Thanks for sharing Phil! 👍
You exactly hit the point. Most of the times, and in every sector, Chinese manufacturers have a single target: lower the price. At any cost. Even when they have a decent product, they get crazy about lowering the price until it becomes crap. You're right, if they cared just a little more about the product...
Sorry, I'm late Phil. Your crawler videos are some of my favorite videos of yours. I learned a lot about crawling from your channel. Thanks, bro.
Nice new drone shots, Phil. They add a nice perspective & if not overused, they can supplement a vid up to goose-bump status.
I like the rig you did in this but I don't solder, I can only SAW-DER (hehehe)
Awesome upgrades,it made a world of differnce in the performance!..With the addition of the driver,you have twice the bounce now!
nice touch with the drone footage. great job bro. keep up the good hard work! thanks
Great mod works well …driver has some nice pixels 😉
OK going to have to get one and the electrics to modify it. Love the look of it . Cool vid Phil 👍
I did not know you could ESCs that cheap. Good to know for future projects. 👍
Great production on this one. Great music. Thank you!
another easy cheap is the MN 260 gearbox, swap in a 280 motor for more torque.
it'll allow some extra wheel weight to keep the rig upright
Hi Phil I love the body on this truck so this is a GREAT idea sir. Thanks for sharing 🇬🇧✌🏼
This is perfect for what I’m after, something to tinker with, possible re spray to add more detail and modify. Thanks.
that is very realistic and objective informative from you Tomley. Thanks a lot for all RC car admirers. (Especially the bouncer driver lol)
Fantastic mod, Phil! 😃
It seems like a fantastic esc indeed!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Awesome video great advice love it.
Good job 👍 I put a similar esc and receiver in a Hornby OO gauge locomotive for my little one to control around a track. Also going to have a go at putting some hobby grade electronics like this in a few toy grade RC’s for the little one
Nice work! From a bit of a dunger to not bad!
Phil for PM , awesome work bud.
Wow, what an improvement.
People knock WPL but they put out some awesome products, and have awesome customer support !
That 2s esc is really good
appreciated to explaining every detail, thnak you
I had one of the older baby blue MN 90s. I gave it the same matte black paint job and even gave it some makeshift bedliner on the fenders and the trunk. Look great. I used some of the plastics from the box and even made some rear windows. Looks a lot like this one now. I've got a winch on that one, but need to add a lightbar.
The real Bouncing Betty! Nice!
Great video, so going to do this with my mn99 😁👍
great video that one, really enjoyed it. Tempted by this upgrade on my WPL-C24
Absolutely killer. I thought the same and have an FCX24 ESC waiting to go in my EazyRC Bronx to see if I can get similar results. Not as cheap, $20 US. I might have to quit my job and play with RC cars 😜 to get all these projects done!
My fav dumborc receiver also has light integration with it. I’ve got one on my trx4 and the lights are amazing on it! Otherwise love everything you’ve mentioned there!
that twisting the wires comment was the realest advice that i use all the time, works like a charm and i run my shit through water
Great video... Love the watch
Love your videos by the way! It's because of you and Tolbert that I got my first rc a couple weeks ago. BUT as a viewer (and being very much a perfectionist) i would like to drop a suggestion in the suggestion box. I know your shop is still a work in progress and it also isn't my shop and/or my money... but in your new studio it seems like the room is darker than the entire shop used to be. This crawler is a dark color which doesn't help but I can't help but notice your awesome facial features have been darkened as well. Your brightly lite shop was great for bringing out crazy colors on rc bodies and super fine details in your work! I'm just another bystander that loves the honest and real content you put out there. But if it were me (and it's not) I'd try out some LED pod lighting or even thin LED drop ceiling lights installed above your work bench and other places in the room. Ether way it's cool to watch the progress along side your awesome hobby! keep the videos coming!
Kevin Talbot is who I ment to spell out 😆
Lovely comment ❤
Nice upgrade 👍. I'll bet quite a few cheap crawlers would benefit in this way. Regards lack of soldering iron, 2amp terminal strip would do. Cheap from Wilcos. But, a 30 watt iron (with stand) is available from there too for £12 and a small roll of solder for £3. It's a great idea to teach youngsters to solder and it's a lifelong skill once they have it 👍😉
cool rc and great mods
I'm saving this video in my watch later list, I got a JY66 from Banggood that would really need these upgrades. But that's after I build my C44KM, upgrade my B14 and then the C24. I think I got enough stuff to tinker with over the winter 😄
Even if you needed all the components it seems like it would be worth it for the improvements.
I didn't know that you used to be an Aircraft Engineer. Thats awesome man! That explains your expertise in upgrading your rc cars. I have a similar 1:12 scale crawler like yours 😄
Aircraft electrician in the military.
Just watched your video it's brilliant alsome video Phil and great info 👍👏
Great video as usual but I noticed a couple camera shots that look to be taken with a drone.
Drones are as much fun if not more fun than the rc cars! I love them both.
"turn and burn" I remember because it's also my missile evasion technique. "oh hell... *roll, pull, slam full power* "
Great video thank you.👍😃
I did something similar with my mn96. Awesome looking truck, horrible motor and electronics. Put a WPL two speed in there, along with an isdt esc70, the same kind of JX servo you used, and a turboracing radio/receiver. Those servos are really nice with the right voltage.
Completely changed the truck, from pretty much garbage (good looking garbage, but garbage non the less). I have a couple more esc70, and one will be replacing a res v3 in my c24 (the res v3 has cool functions, but crap bec).
More bounce to the ounce 😆 Great video
Almost 100k subs ! Woot Woooot !
My Dog hates this video.! 😂 😂
That noise is winding him right up.!!!
I bought the driver. Once I saw it was blurred I knew it had to be good.
Nice song too.
I amazed it doesn't keep falling over being so top heavy !!!. Is that Naomi Wu driving.🤣
Just wanted to say that I was caught out with a motor wire while out a few weeks ago and managed to resolder it using a match. Maybe it depends on the solder but it's not game over if you don't have an iron
I accidentally discovered there's a difference in the solder. This very thin solder that came with a soldering station requires 50 more degrees to melt than some random solder I had laying around. There's definitely a difference. Seems like you had a happy coincidence.
@@aljensen7779 ah, interesting.
Always worth a try if you've got a lighter anyway
Given the melting point for most solder is something like 450C (as an upper bound, many melt far lower) and the burning temp of a lit match is like 500-600C (a butane lighter is even hotter at like 2000C) there is a very strong case for giving that a try should things be dire and you need to do a thing like that. This also brings up the "ancient soldering" method where you just find a big chunk of metal and heat that crap in a fire or blowtorch... now you have an iron (bonus points if you're using an actual chunk of iron).
Much better 👍🏻👍🏻
Nice tip 👍
Sweet ride! That pixilated driver though 🤣
Next MOD, ditch those solid rear mud guards and fit a little flexible rubber, maybe bicycle inner tube.
Yeah, those new WPL 15A esc's are great Phil, I fitted one into my C-14 in place of the cheap 20/30A Chinese esc that I had and the difference is night and day, as regards the low speed modulation. Well worth spending a tenner on.
Wow, you would think that the higher amperage esc would be better
@@gabrielpichardo1492 The cheaper $5 esc's were alright,but the new WPL esc is far superior in modulation and having a drag brake is a godsend.
@@semperatis that’s great to hear ! Those cheap ones actually have a drag brake, well some of them do but you have to switch a jumper around on the ones that do
Has anyone here ever had one of them tokin/ rcg / shuangfeng 1:12 crawlers? Its very basic with a terrible controller , want to upgrade it
Bobble head ? No......
Bobble chest ! Yes !
Nice upgrade
Nice sir...
The little driver 😂 damn that’s funny
Hello, there is a way to get your forward lights to go on forward, red on reverse by the way 👌. I use this method on my RC's. You wire head light with light bar to motor leads making sure they go on forward, and for the reverse red you wired them the opposite from forward and it works 👌. Try it 🤔
All that noise could be nearly gone if you add some ESR capacitor on the motor and a conductor, I've done it on the WPL D12. This will reduce the electric noise and therefore the actual noise, but you may already know that.
Love the video Phil! Did you modify the Driver as well?😂😂😀
you should do one with the MN98
Good upgrade . I don't understand how its financially beneficial or feasible to engineer a whole new control board for each and every vehicle , when a standard set up would suit most , until LiPo and Brushless specs are needed .
it would be great to see a company like WLtoys use standard receivers for example , so they could sell some BND versions . Saves everyone money .
Probably cheaper to build their own recievers. plus, they make money when you buy a new receiver or ESC.
Really nice and helpful info here!!! Thanks Phil s lot!!!!!👍😱🤩
A what was there under huge pixels 6:55 ?))🤭🤫 (Ok, got it 😂)
gas cooker and a nail can be used as a McGyver soldering iron 😁
Big difference
0814 here in Arkansas USA!!!Think that would be a good upgrade for my b24? I put in a 370 single speed with gear reduction last night I liked the added power and torque but I'm not impressed with the v2 electronics that came in it. I'm gonna order one and haveago with it I've already got a dumbo so I'll just order another reciever and this esc and give it a go! Thanks Tomley! Excellent vid, as always!!!!
good upgrade for that crawler yes if the manufacture put the right stuff in Thay would sell more I don't think people mind pay more
Hi do you have a review of this crawler, it looks very nice, how is the quality of it?
If you're going to twist and tape wires be sure to do each wire separately. Lol
You can then wrap both together after to secure things further.
Can this be done in a mn 82 lc79 land Cruiser new model?? I want to upgrade it for a more torque and slow crawling, until now this is the only video that makes a mod different from the 370 engine upgrade, thanks for your videos
I just got the DEERC version of the MN99S which is basically this truck, based on your reviews. It looks great, but tumbles way easier than a stock C24-1 and can't even push it's own weight up a hill. Once it hits a high angle and has to dig, the lights start blinking and the battery cuts out like it's too much amps for the stock electronics. It drives fine on flat ground or rocky terrain, but that's about it. Did I get a lemon or is it really that weak out of the box?
Can you please do the same For mn78 and show the results?
Mn78 has beautiful body and scale look but esc seems to be the worst part of it. So i would love to see how it will work with upgraded esc.
I want to order one just for the looks of it and install new esc and i want to know if it will even work as i hoped
This Upgraded Fayee would be cool to compare to the TRX4m....after the upgrades they are close in price....so it would be a stock TRX4m vs Upgraded Fayee, interesting to see which is a better value and overall crawler and which has more upgradability (that Fayee looks like it can use WPL C-parts.
I see you added airbags
Tomly can you review the tamiya race truck please
Because of your video, I just ordered a Fayee FY003-1 for £58.75. Obviously, I am very new to these RC toys. I have 2 questions:
Any recommendations on essential upgrade parts (I try to keep my spending as minimal as possible)? If so, can you give me a link as well, please?
There are thousands of spare parts and upgrades for these RC. Which ones are suitable for Fayee FY003-1?
Cheers
They're sold out at the moment I order a cheap0 30a with brake off of amazon well a 2 pack but I gotta try something this stock esc just volts out when you try to go slow over obstacles in the b24 with 370 single speed with gear reduction box and dual wheels on the rear
What was the song at the end though? I thought it was super relaxing.
Slightly off topic could you recommend a good model grade 1,10th drift car kit and brushless system my son who has autism wants to build his own drift car and learn drifting any Information much appreciated 😀
A pin and clip tutorial would be helpful.
Hoho! If it runs on the WPL's 2 speed gearbox with 370, that low gear ratio makes it even finer 😁😁
2 to burn hahahaha!
Can we just replace this piece? Or should the remote control etc. be changed in parts for the solution
@tomleyRc I have the MN86 S. It has the same issue as the RC featured in the video, so wanted to ask if I brought that ESC from WPL would it fix the problem?
I have a spare dumborc controller. I have been looking for a quick cheap upgraded for the MN86 S.
Would this be a good esc for an scx24?
By upgrading the ESC, are you still able to use the same transmitter and receiver, or do those parts need to be changed out as well?
What would be the best budget crawler to buy at the moment?
What do you say I should start with an MN99S or this FY003-5A ?
I have a 1/24 crawler that supposedly runs on 1s (I think it’s called “rgt adventurer v2”) but maybe I should consider switching to this esc instead
as for the figure it probably doesn’t fit :p
I've switched all my micro crawlers electronics to power shift controllers. They can handle 2s with lights and all.
Hello
10 dollar... " My ass !! " 😢🎉😂
I don’t dislike you or the video but I had to click on the dislike link in the description to see what you attached and I was not let down 😂😂😂
Can i do that on a, mn 78 cheroke?
If i change my circuit board how i can reconnect my remote control with the new one (stock transmiter
Is this RC car model better than RC MN99s?
Love the uwu driver lol
Don't suppose anyone had a shuangfeng/ tokin rc 1:12 crawler? Got it from RC geeks , feels like a tough car but the control system is crap , although the 4wd is dual motor, anyone know if it can be upgraded?
Now do I buy 1 or 2 drivers?... 😅
Bought the same Jx from flea market with like 2€ brand new😂
Looks like this esc & rc are made for each other, have 3 of these rc z but crawl like crap on og electronics.
