Re: New Toyota Landcruiser Kit WPL C34 Argh 😤 Bugger, it’s the MN45 body I want, that chopped body for the flat bed. Do either have interiors? |

Re: New Toyota Landcruiser Kit WPL C34 Hi, new information about the WPL C34 Metal edition, pictures: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/atta...entid=12043567 https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/atta...entid=12043565 https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/atta...entid=12043563 https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/atta...entid=12043561 https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/atta...entid=12043559 Seems to be quite a good deal, pay 50 bucks extra (to the price of the WPL C34 Plastic Edition Kit) and get upgrade parts for about 100 bucks. Since there are some special upgrades, which are not available yet, I used similar upgrades using this list of (nearly) all WPL, MN, JJRC upgrade parts available: https://www.rockcrawler.de/thread/40...c-mz-fayee-mn/ You get metal axle housing, metal links, metal drive shafts, metal gears and wheel-holders, metal knuckles, wheel weights (who likes those? Those are extremely expensive - e.g. those - and I hated this type of wheel weights in my Orlandoos, they make the tires extremely hard), 370 gearmotor and a large plastic gear servo. Tires seem to be new, anyway. Announced to be "very soft", curious, if those will be different to the tires coming with the plastic kit. Very interesting: New central transmission? Seems to be made out of plastic, but for 370 gearmotor direct bolt on, and with improved ground clearance: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/atta...entid=12043557 And even more interesting, real metal universal joints: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/atta...entid=12043555 The WPL Landcruisers are announced to arrive tomorrow, May 9th. We will see, waited about a months longer than announced for my MN-45 Toyota Landcruiser kit, which finally has been shipped the day before yesterday. Walter |

Take care - those seem not to be the "universal joints", those seem to be those joints type "Kardan joints". This is a faulty construction. I bought a set from Banggood. It does not work, cannot work - see here (see only pics - it is in German): https://www.rockcrawler.de/thread/40...37#post1162537 I bought this set from Banggood and wrote a complaint because it cannot work. Banggood refunded 80% of the price. But of course they do not publish my review ;) - those kind of "Kardan-joint-steerings" do not have any review yet - this says a lot. It cannot work! Compare: "Faulty type": https://www.rockcrawler.de/wcf/attac...-kardan-1-jpg/ "New type" (in C34): Not full Kardan. https://static.rcgroups.net/forums/a...Metal-Ed-7.JPG Walter |

no - you did not read the forum link ;) Try again - at least take a look at the pictures: https://www.rockcrawler.de/thread/40...37#post1162537 It is too wide - it does not fit on WPL axles. Anyway, those are two different kind of "universal links". Those you can buy are a hex part and a two-part Kardan joint - I bought those. Those are a faulty construction, do not work cannot work… The universal joints of the C34 are totally different type - it is one peace. Check the pictures again. I DO have the type you can buy, and Banggood even refunded - do not know, why this type still is offered everywhere. Walter |

No problem - and easy to make custom shafts (I did already for MN-90 because its axle is wider). Problem: Knuckles cannot be clipped onto C-hub anymore… because the "universal joint" (with Kardan) is too wide. Walter |
Re: New Toyota Landcruiser Kit WPL C34 Well, seems some customers are preferred and get their goods earlier than "normal people" ;) Cause there have shown up quite a couple of Youtube videos in the past days about the WPL Landcruiser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PA9...&index=26&t=0s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M35a...&index=31&t=0s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bz8H...&index=32&t=0s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AD7c...&index=33&t=0s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQFt...&index=34&t=0s And also a Mini-Review, very detailed, on RCGroups: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...Crawler-review Curious, when we "normal people" will get our kits, and much more curious for the reviews of "normal people", because always little cautious with those "sponsored reviews". However, the review of James Chen is very interesting and seems to be unbiased. Walter |
Re: New Toyota Landcruiser Kit WPL C34 I wouldn´t hold my breath over that model....for what it costs its still a toy. :roll: |
Re: New Toyota Landcruiser Kit WPL C34 Does anyone know if the C34K plastic version come with those steering joints??? |

.. and your big-bucks 1/10 isn’t? :roll: C’mon, get real. We’ve already established you hate those little cars. That they’re ‘beneath yo’, so to say. Shame that many people like them, hrm? Just accept that these little cars have great bodies, and hardware that invites loverly tinkering. Not every big-boys toy has to be a $1000.- + piece of hardware to be fun. I’m getting kinda sick and tired of the attitude of sňme people here, overtly showing their disdain for these little cars. Yes. It’s a toy. Like every RC is a toy. But these toys are seriously affordable, even with all upgrades, and not everybody has the funds to buy big-bucks RC4wd and Vanquish stuff. ‘Nuff said” Bye now! |
