Love that it isn’t loud. Honestly the biggest detractors from the cheap RCs is the loud whine. The JJRC C8809 is super silent. I’ve been able to do some 2am back-yard sessions in a residential area it’s so quiet.
Yes this is better than the older Jimny. It didn’t have opening doors and the removable window frame is a neat touch. I think I read it has some upgraded drivetrain parts too. Excellent!!
Always liked the full size Samuri, this one looks so accurate almost doesn't matter how good it actually is as an RC would love one as a display piece!
A bit of 1000wt silicone or heavy grease in the “shocks” and on the shaft dose wonders for these. I’ve done it on all of my 1/18 and 1/24 rigs. I can’t stand the bouncy bit.
I'm biased because I 've spent many happy hours playing off-road in these little vehicles, but it seems to me that all this model really needs is decent shocks and the kit tyres. They haven't fobbed you off with a puny motor.
I have the OG C74 and it is leaf sprung. It’s more of a shelf queen/chase the dog in the house vehicle. I do own an 87 Samurai which is why I had to have one. Mine is a soft top. So naturally I have to have this one now….. nice to see that they have same some improvements and that the doors open now! It’ll be on my Christmas list for sure.
Nice to see that they've improved the electronics. But I don't understand why they made it a four link when the real samurai is leaf spring suspension.
WPL always do a great job with their bodies and interior and just overall scale realism. It's just the functionality/build quality that is usually subpar at best.
I mean for like $90 that's not a bad place to start in the crawler world and has everything needed. It can get new people into the hobby and out having fun without breaking the bank.
just a thought.. :D If you kind of lean the driver off to the other side, to like adjust the mirror or something, you get more of the original balance of the car, and it would look kind of cool to..
Looking good phil i think i prefer this one to the hard roof version . But its gona have to wait as mrs Womble will not be impressed if i purchase anything else this month 😅 .
The first one awful & unbearable even for light trail. Mine now put it on ftx outback 1/16th/rgt 136161 chassis because how awful their stock chassis is. Even MN82 with it's plastic chassis perfom much better as rtr stock. But these however seems really good, when saw first time how it flex & C64-1 shocks I know this is not same as before . They know in global much prefer with performance so they're changing to 4 link suspension (JP version still on leaf springs).
Tomley just casually enjoying his Jimny while a GTA live lobby is happening around him. Sirenes, loud vehicles, car alarms - the works. Love it!
This should be on the main channel. Wpl is underated for people who are beginers and on a very tight budget.
FOR REAL, when you have 5 kids to buy for who can afford the expensive stuff.

This guy needs to do more research before reviewing stuff 🤣🤣
Yea Who is this guy ! 😂
😂
@TomleyRC umm dude blur the reg on yr car !😮😊
Give him a break he's trying!
This bloke has no clue. He's never going to make it on Utoobs 🙄

Finally,an RC with right hand drive, Yay! 🤓🇦🇺
Thanks Phil. 👍
Would be a sweet rig with a sound kit, oil shocks, and some wheels/tires!

What the heck, I've ordered one! Ever since I got my used RC4WD Defender, I've started wanting more scale details!!!!!!!!

This was my thought as well until I remembered you can get an Ascent 18 for not much more, and it makes this look like a $20 WalMart special sadly.
I love the body, should work well for a UK1 build
you should stretch the wheelbase and put utb18 axles under it!
The c64 I got has the same dreadful shocks. Got some oil ones in the post - they look great and are pretty fun on small stuff
just a thought.. :D If you kind of lean the driver off to the other side, to like adjust the mirror or something, you get more of the original balance of the car, and it would look kind of cool to..
That reminds me of when kev used to try and do reviews, thanks for the trip down memory lane 💯😂.. shoutout from the U.S✌️
Seems well priced and has a good looking licenced hard body! I see this being a great base for projects and mods.
I won the hard body one from DOrc's channel.. not a bad little rig.. My Granddaughter loves it!! 🤟 Great Videos bud!!
Ahhh an unboxing video for a cheap RC offroader.... perfect activity for a Sunday with this much rain.❤
Maybe test out the new WPL oil shocks? Would be interesting to see how they do on this! 🙌🏻👍🏻
This looks like a good crawler for the price. I think for a beginning trail truck or crawler it would be good.
Sweet review. Got mine right before I left for BTF. Hopping to get to the mods this weekend and get in on the rocks. Body as always is amazing.
In Japan it is sold as a Jimmy. Small 4x4 reminiscent of the original Samurai from the '70s.
Very nice for the price. Throw some oil filled shocks and some heavy wheels and soft tires on it...I bet it would be a blast!
Awesome ride and review, Phil! 😃
370 motor? Wow... I hope they make a KM model!!! 😮
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Another great review phill 😊
It's also known as a Suzuki Sierra (SJ410-SJ413) downunder Phil 😉👍
Cheers for another great vid 💥💯
😮been waiting for this !!!!!!!!!!!
Had a beer, watched a review or two, now somehow Im waiting on the post for both a MN99s and this C74-1...
Do you think that faux canvas top could work on an Enduro 12 Bushido?
Wish there was more aftermarket upgrades for this.
The wpl metal upgrades for their 1/16 scales will work on this
What are you wanting to upgrade on it? I've seen plenty.
@@16driver16 softer tires and brass wheels
Jimny here in Australia!
Sierra
Neat looking crawler, 90 is cheap for this size
no turn signals when turning! yes..your dreams do come true..lol!
The kit tires are infinitely better, though they need to be glued
Were you able to get the figure in without modding it?
I´d really like to see a comparison of the C74 and the C74-1 ^^
Nice! Right hand drive too - a winner 😁
7'45" the fuzz are on their way though - are you sure it's licenced ? 😂
Looking good phil i think i prefer this one to the hard roof version . But its gona have to wait as mrs Womble will not be impressed if i purchase anything else this month 😅 .
Please give the c74 a chance it's amazing 😭
Very nice truck I would like to have a short wheelbase truck in my collection and this might just be the first one.
Maybe get one soon.
😊😊😊😊😊
Need to check and see if maybe, just maybe the new fusion mini 16 will fit…….
So although this is 1/10 scale, it still looks like 1/12 scale, because it's a Jimni.
That suspension sucks its just like the C64 and I'm sending mine back, the front tires rub the front springs and makes it about undriveable
The hood should be openable.
The cheap trucks have steadily been getting better
Just got an FMS Power wagon for £78 on their site - September 50% off from $149 down to $99 - Bargain eh ??😂
i ordered the c74-1... got a c74 from aliexpress but mine has that exact mark on the hood.
my little boy peed on it so i cant return it XD
Ended a bit short didn’t it Phil ? no overall review then !
I ❤ crying 😮
Looks like the 200lb driver has it a little off-balance.
and the addition of the battery.
Hello good car cute 🤗🤩
And the police turn up because you're driving on someone's property. 😆

sold out......
front tires hanging up, rear sitting low, adds a bunch of weight after turning down the suspension. ARE YOU NEW? lol.
That thing is ugly, and I don’t ever remember somebody saying, “Man, I wish somebody would make a Suzuki RC”.
Sounds like an episode of Sons of Anarchy in the background from @7:12 😎
Your channel isn’t as good as *@TomleyRC* , I’m unsubbing
Pure junk sorry to say
