Attempted battery upgrade
Turns out the car does turn on but there is no steering or throttle at all with the larger 2S packs.
It seems you have to upgrade the ESC to any cheap brushed hobby grade version to do this mod.
I’m pretty sure the stock board on the non kit version is only rated for 10amps. If you went to a different esc rated for higher amp rating, 25- 40 you would be able to use those higher output batteries. I’ve got the kit version. Put in a 25 amp esc and a 1s 7.4 Lipo and it works good. Now if I could just figure out how to get those add on tracks to work properly on my c14! Here’s a link for the bat and board.

I’m using a 7.4 in my c24,no problems whatsoever,also tons of upgrades available for the wpl..
hey man! I'm glad you're having fun! I have gotten some of these other WPL kits, my favorite one is the B-36 RTR Ural 6WD truck.
This video is over a year old. The support has exploded since then.
I have a WPL B14 truck and I put a mn 99 2s lipo on it and it had runned 30seconds but stopped and now the lights on but dont have trottle and steering🤨 I already put stock battery but now it's the same only lights works. Its ESC burned? Can anyone help?
i added a lipo to my JJRC and it worked fine.
So I’m thinking about buying the c24 kit and if I use my esc and my own recover with a 7.2v battery will over power the 180 size motor
Just take the truck apart and upgrade the parts. It's not impossible to do. Lots of aftermarket parts available for these trucks.
Just take out original board and put in hobby grade reciever, servo and esc
hello, I did that on a kit version I built. Decided to keep this one stock as it was already in the RTR form. But yes, you are right, thanks for watching!!!
the original board sucks dude
everything sucks in the rtr version :D
I ordered a kit, along with 4900kv motor, 30amp waterproof esc, lipo 2S 2000mah battery,, better steering servo, 2 speed transfer case, all metal drivetrain upgrade/suspension upgrade. Will be replacing stock parts when they break. Looking forward to it. Im hoping the new motor and battery/esc combo will be 20× better than stock
@@TheDownloadfreegames the 2 speed box shredded the input gears in about 5 seconds...so the truck has been sitting in pieces since like end of march. I ordered the metal box, have a lot of customizing to do and frankly dont have the time so for now its just sitting. But my goal is to get the metal box working with the gear reducer and brushless motor.
@@garrettsmith553 lol same thing happened to me the 2 speed gearbox shredded. So now I bought a single speed all metal gearbox with the brushless motor
I know how that feels!
I got the C24 RTR like you as well. Got a Lipo 2S 25C 3200mAh.
Same thing. steering cannot work but I can throttle.
I replace back to the stock battery, steering no longer works. What did I fry?
I thought ESC only controls the motor and do not affect steering. But in this case, steering is gone.
😢😢😢
@Martie R I want to upgrade the battery on my d12 and was looking into doing a dual 18650, how would i make sure to get the right voltage, amps and that stuff? could you recommend me 2 batteries for that?
@@johnicc907 Hi John, I would not recommend 18650 batteries, because the stock electronics In d12 could not handle voltage and ampere ratings. So if you want to upgrade battery you need to change all electronics esc, reciever and tx. Else the best bet is to get a spare battery. Also I think the battery tray of d12 would not fit two 18650 I guess.
@@marutheeshsai8578 currently i have another esc, receiver and motor to install in the near future, i dont know what a tx is and i made a box to put batteries in the bed.
@@johnicc907 tx is transmitter and rx is reciever. I8650 is not advisable from my researcher sofar the 18650 mah and discharge current would be too high for the stock d12 board setup, though wpl has now come up with this new board but I am not sure if it could handle the 18650 power, its 50/50 you could be lucky or else it might fry the circuit. If you are new to rc hobby or wpl rigs please join the fb page for wpl mods and advices you might benefit a lot from there..may be it would be easy for me to assist you better there. Let me know if you need any help happy to assist.
@@marutheeshsai8578 what is the fbs name?
Hi I would try the 6.4v from the a959 it comes with a jst connector witch you can convert if you want. I think that may work it’s 2s li-ion. Hope it works.
Good to know. I was going to try that same mod on a c24. Mmmm. I did install a 370 motor in a c24 and b36. That worked really well.
But my c24 has stock 7.4 volt lithium. So my 7.4 volt lithium po may work
The reciver do not support this battery u have to change reciver and transmitter
Hello, Yes - You are correct. This was just a demo video to see what would happen if I tried to simply just increase voltage a little bit. 6V-7.2V isn't much of a stretch, but still not an option for these models.
Well mine worked fine mate it has had no issues atall. 7.4V 1500mah on my rtr
Corey Watterson word I’m looking at this video like I just popped a 180 in metal drive shafts and a lithium ion battery conversion on a rtr and I worked like a charm
good video bud. I have ordered a $6 20A Micro ESC for this model and a micro steering servo. The ESC will take 2S 7.4V and for the price i figured why not...
Hey buddy, I built a kit model with the esc you got also, it works great. But the problem with converting the RTR model is you will also need a new radio system on top of the esc and servo. You got that too?
hybrid32494 yeah I have a spare reciever so that will not be an issue. Looking forward to kitting it all out
ok, just making sure. I used a FLysky system on my other kit model, cheapest way to go with an extra 6 dollar RX.
Cuántos voltios? Y amperius?
batery
doesn't work because there are coils on rc engines that don't let much electricity in there so if you put those coils away it will work
7.4 v lipo will also burn out your lights, not compatible.
well you saw me plug in the 2S lipo, the lights worked just fine. But the car was non-functional..
Where did you get the bats
hello, these are just small 2 S lipo and Li-ion packs from the WL Toys series of models. Look up the 7.4 V WL-Toys lipo battery.
Mine runs fine with 7.4 v 30c 2s batteries, bone stock.
For feck sake 6 volt basic board............... Yes Basic non hobby grade right which means it can't handle anything more than 6 volts and would be designed to shut down at any other voltage and really personally if you can afford li pos then you can shell out for a basic speedy and steering servo... Rather gripe it didn't like put up a video showing you failed and blame the the basic product for your failure and those who followed you to reinforce both yours and their personal failures............. So hey man up get the the correct components and show the skills you have in their correct light and non negative ways............... RGP 50 plus years in the hobby this is the first time I've canned a Vid...................... in the 10 plus years of enjoying my hobbies on UA-cam
I've already gotten another one as a kit and built it with proper hobby grade components, it works fine. That was not the point of this video at all. I was only trying to see if at least the battery was upgradeable in the RTR model. It turns out that it isn't as you correctly acknowledged. Obviously a kit would require hobby grade parts, but its important to know if the RTR is at all upgradeable in it's stock form.
You Shure know what your doing.
You have luck. I did this with my wpl b 1 and the steering stop forever. I think burned something on receiver.
I had some issues with no power at all, but it turned out to work fine after a few times of turning on/off. Also it's possible that the steering connector is poorly soldered on, check out my other video of this truck where I had to resolver a connector due to a bad connection in the receiver board.
Fully charged 2s lipo is 8.4volts, just an FYI, I'm sure you know this by now.😉
1:52 you DO DO LOL
Hey bud I noticed that original battery looks to be nimh. That won't be compatible with that large Lipo. Being different voltage...
hey my Caprice Classic Brother, lol, the battery is a NI-CD. Eitherway even if it was an NIMH it owuld not matter. It seems the voltage itself is too high for the factory receiver/esc board. The lipo size is irrelevant, it's about VOLTAGE here. In my RC experience most ESCs can operate to at least a max voltage of 7.4 (2S lipo). Seems this needs a different ESC to run a higher voltage battery.
Yea bro what's up. And yes you are correct my guess would be the esc cutout is what you running into with the voltage being too high. Maybe run that battery a little low and try it. It may work. But the cutout will probably be too low and may drain the battery further then you'd want..
I saw another video where a guy soldered together 5 energizer rechargeable cells to make the 6 Volts. He extended his runtime by a lot but did not mention anything about power or speed differences. And the 2300 mah energizers cost 34 dollars for 12 on amazon right now.
@@hybrid32494 the stock board is design to run slowly and to cralw. It is not made for racing..
Just change de esc.... 10 Bucks on bangood. And if u any more torque, change to a dual motors sistema, One for each transmission.
What did yo use for a dual motor setup to mount the motors themselves?
Can you put a link to new receiver?
Hey u told me u were gonna try it,well now we both know👍👍👊👊📹📹I guess the peppa pig wpl14 won’t be getting 2s power
haah, YEP I definitely tried it. Cant believe it does not work. After this video I even tried an old 7.2 Volt NICD and NIMH, neither worked as well. It must be a voltage thing. So we can forget about the 2S power with this esc.
hybrid32494 yea brotha I was hoping this would work with out having to upgrade the esc,the whole point of getting this truck was the cheap price n upgraded esc will be more money putting into it,but if it was for me no doubt I’d get the kit,which I still might cus I kinda wanting my own now,lol but I bought the rtr for a lil project making it a special peppa pig truck for my niece n she just turned 5yrs old so she might be happy with it stock n as she gets bigger I’ll upgrade it for her or get her a lil bigger truck,well I’ll be watching to see what ur gonna do bro👍
These r still cool for little kids, I agree. Even in RTR form this is much better than the lame forward/reverse toys r us models I had as a kid. Back then steering was never a complaint ahahah, right??
I ordered a 180 size carbon brushed motor on eBay for 1.25 shipped, well see how that is, Im sure that would be an actually upgrade here even with this setup.
I got two others like this common in the mail, a kit version, and another RTR truck model. Paid around 20 for the truck on eBay.
I saw another video where a guy made his own battery out of 5 rechargeable energizers, and it worked. So it must be limited to 6V no matter what you do. Although his speed didn't increase but the truck ran much longer.
Hey, i just got a 3 pack 1200mAh 7.4V and was going to try it on my RTR. Also disappointed it did not work.
But i have some things to say. First time i turned my car on with the original 6V it did the same thing. Lights on, no power.
Second and most important: Why didn't you try to lower the voltage using a resistor? I guess you don't have one. I'll try here when i get home.
I have 7.4 volt battery that's bigger and do not do what I did I killed it deep fried it
update that battery is a two cell
The solution is to get a battery that already has the right connection
