This helped me out 😅 my micro servo was throwing way to much and I couldn't set it currently until watching this - thank you Ed I look forward to going out on the trails tomorrow 😁
Found the black plastic actuator that the shifting arm pushes was sliding on the chrome shaft. We superglued it to the shaft and no more problem with it moving out of position 👍
I put a piece of wood behind it to stop it flexing back away. Works. Also, roughened the shaft and superglued the black actuator to it because it was sliding out of position.
@@EdwardChew All right, Edward, I shall do that. I have already visited your Facebook page previously, so I am familiar with it. Thank you. Last night I ordered one of your kits, Bro. The C24 KM. I gotta tell ya that your website has some big problems with its ability to find parts in your inventory. Bro, I tried several times to use your search thing. Once for the rear axle gaskets and the other was for a winch. Your search bar brought back zero results. So, I X out if your app and ask Google found both of the things that was looking for. Hey, can you please try to get those in the same box with my KM and the rest. Edward the WPL line of machines are great. I'm looking forward to it arriving. Does it come with grease for the axles? One more thing, I am very sorry. I also ordered a 24v 60000 RPM, but the invoice says 12v 10000 RPM. Thank you again.
nope. never had issue with mine. just some has issue with the gear change engaging properly. Once you understand how it works with the video above, you will set it right.
I have the same motor, same full metal two-speed box, the gears. My question is what is the second speed plus torque for? or more speed or how they are used going up a mountain in the mud is the first gear used or the two? I don't know how to use it I had the one-speed 370 the torque is more powerful but very slow and the metal box is very large and hits the ground or on the edges I will order the metal box completely to see if it looks much better my car is a Land rover defender 1/12 motor 370 two-speed box full metal gears
Hola Eduard , tengo una pregunta, instale el mismo motor en un c54 , pero me he dado cuenta que el motor en una pendiente no retiene al coche , se ruede fácilmente. Eso es normal? , ya revise los piñones de la caja , revise los cardanes y todo esta bien . Así funciona?
Hi Edward, could you do a video of adding led's to the res V3. What the connectors are if resistors are required etc... just want to make the coolest WPL models.
Same thing for me but mine is in the rear…no clue what causes it but I changed the position on my shocks and it helped quite a bit, not 100% fixed though
I have a weird issue with that particular gear box. When moving forward everything just works fine. But while engaging reverse under load or fast speeds it sounds like it's neither gear is fully engaged. It makes a grinding noise as it is slipping over the gears teeth. What could cause this kind of problem and how to fix it? Thx!
Hi Edward, Thanks or this video. I recently installed my brand new dual speed gearbox and was facing a different shifting issue: The black shifting arm on the metal rod (to be pricise: the one on the outside that is actuated by the servo) is not properly fixed and can move on the rod after a while. This causes skipping in both gears after a moment of driving. Any suggestion how to fix the black arm on the metal rod?
Ok pull the black shifting arm out, use a plier or cutter to grip on the shaft to create crease, sand it with rough sandpaper, apply superglue on the metal rod and put the arm back. Let me know if that works ya
@@EdwardChew First I reworked the black shifting arm as described at 6:15 of your video. Then I spend a while to figure out the perfect position for it on the shaft and took the measure in relation to the end of the shaft. Then I used a side cutter to create relatively deep grooves in the shaft for more friction. To then glue the black shifting arm to the perfect position on the shaft I used metal epoxy instead of super glue (I had it at home and expect it to be stronger than super glue). At today’s test drive the gearbox performed absolutely perfect shifting. It was a real pleasure 😀
I have this 2speed and it makes some unstable noises. When the truck moves at slow speed it sort of jerks. As if the gears are not of proper size or off alignment. At slow speeds its noticeable where the truck moves fast slow fast slow motion. Am i having trouble with the gears binding?
probably wonky ring gear if it's the full metal ones. if you're lucky you can tap inner shaft bit out using a hammer, scrape out the glue with a knife and press fit them back better with a vice + some glue. it's a bit hit and miss unfortunately. drill press might have more luck. seems to be the achilles heel of the these models. I think the factory needs some proper fixturing to hold the ring gear parts square while they're being pressed @edwardrc car.
@@EdwardChew yes the big one. it's two parts pressed together...a bit wonky most of the time it seems. More expensive/bigger models bolt the ring gear onto the end of a part and that ensures good alignment, eg an SCX10 or something. not enough space inside the little models for that.
@@EdwardChew I have an MN99 and I've found that very little in the way of upgrades is simply plug and play, there's always some fettling involved somewhere, I had issues with my 2 speed gearbox, but solved them, I also had issues with the steering, but resolved those too, it runs metal axles, i use real driveshaft grease in the diffs, works a treat, it is now great fun to go out with my son with, he also has a MN99, and we're going to get my wife a C24, so she can have some fun too.
@@Sennaxm71 Cool! Great to hear that you are able to fix them up. that's a real man! Keep enjoying the hobby and please hangout with us at the official fb group. cheers
@@EdwardChew I am a Classic vehicle mechanic, so it would be a poor show if I couldn't fix them up, it's like real life, but in miniature, so a bit fiddly at times, but definitely do able lol I will have a look for your fb page.You should really put a link to it in your description bud.
This has been driving me crazy the past week lol and I just sorted it about an hour before finding your video 😩
Thanks. My servo was set a bit out. Your video is good to explain and show proper alignment
This helped me out 😅 my micro servo was throwing way to much and I couldn't set it currently until watching this - thank you Ed I look forward to going out on the trails tomorrow 😁
This really helped me out. Thanks…
Thanks for detail explanation and video, It's quite a good information! I need to modify mine. 👍
Thank you Edward. Very well explained.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Found the black plastic actuator that the shifting arm pushes was sliding on the chrome shaft. We superglued it to the shaft and no more problem with it moving out of position 👍
Can you tell me if the output shaft of this gearbox is 3mm or 5mm? Im planning to pair this with scx10 axles
What controller model is that one?
Next tooling revision needs a strengthened servo mount ;)
I put a piece of wood behind it to stop it flexing back away. Works. Also, roughened the shaft and superglued the black actuator to it because it was sliding out of position.
hi! Great video, bro. Man, the plastic is really flexing where the servo is bolted. How to fix that?
post in the official group. there are people who added something 🙂

Are those gearbox fragile or unreliable? I’m considering to buy a c44km

turn on drag brake
@@EdwardChew mi esc no tiene esa opción .
@@softyan well 🤷♀🤷♀
If you want that function you can use WPL's esc

Ok so I didn't know you were suppose to apply throttle when changing gears!! I just did it once and noticed it was smoother and been doing it since!!
Yesss. because it doesn't work 100% the same as the real car. just slow moving, don't do full throttle with gear change though
@@EdwardChew yeah I know I just didn't know that's was the proper way I've been applying a little bit of throttle when shifting for years now
@@bigesrcs Cool!
looks interesting bro...awesome..👊👊
Hi Edward, could you do a video of adding led's to the res V3. What the connectors are if resistors are required etc... just want to make the coolest WPL models.
Thanks for this. Sorted my B16 out a treat. Can't have my son beating me up the hill because I'm stuck in low gear 😅
hahhahahahaha awesome! Good to hear!
Won’t shifting gears while moving wear out the plastic gear?
Just do it at low speed.
I have a problem with my 2 speed. I have a really bad hop in the front end and reverse and forward is all messed up. Any suggestions?
Same thing for me but mine is in the rear…no clue what causes it but I changed the position on my shocks and it helped quite a bit, not 100% fixed though
This problem came after how many months?
Is the tis cable just for high gear? Or also function for low gear?
yea cable tie fix for high gear only

But while engaging reverse under load or fast speeds it sounds like it's neither gear is fully engaged. It makes a grinding noise as it is slipping over the gears teeth.

Hi Fuzz. To be sure gotta dismantle and check. Could be the seat that is holding the steel pin that hold the gear has broken.
Just a question not sure what I've done wrong I get both low and high gear fine but won't reverse with the v3 controller setup any advice??
Bos..da video masalah 1 speed metal x...saya punya slalu bmasalah...tq
awesome mate

Hahaha before reading this we did the same as above. More proof this is the fix required 🤓👍🇦🇺
My WPL D12 was working fine yesterday but today it cant move forward unless i give it a small push.What should i do?
most likely the motor is gone
I have this 2speed and it makes some unstable noises. When the truck moves at slow speed it sort of jerks. As if the gears are not of proper size or off alignment. At slow speeds its noticeable where the truck moves fast slow fast slow motion. Am i having trouble with the gears binding?
open and check if hex shaft cracked

Check your tail shafts to the difs. They can get notchy/grabby and run rough.
I’m cheap and wanted to keep the signal lights and stock esc so I pick up the rc abd shift it by hand lol
That is certainly another way to do it.
⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I drove my truck for the 2nd time and i am now having this problem too 😕
👍👍😊😄
do you own WPL?
Not really plug n play, need some touch up.👌
hmm didn't say plug and play. need to install servo by yourself
