Re: WPL C14 Not to revive a super old thread, but figured I'd add my name to the list of those that dove in on the WPL line of micro scalers. I'm intending on this being for my 7 year old nephew and will upgrade/replace the things like the gears and axles as they break. Ordered the blue C24 kit, 30A ESC, and this AUSTAR AX5, 3-channel radio and receiver. I want to put a cheap light controller [single circuit] on the 3rd channel. I went high on the ESC to get the brake functionality and to put a 2S lipo in there. I'm looking at this Turnigy 1600mAh. I hadn't seen anyone link to a lipo that they are running. I plan on putting it in the stock battery location [under/behind the toolbox]. Thanks for any feedback those with the lipos can provide on fitment, runtime, any heat build up... "thumbsup" |

Re: WPL C14 Thanks for that Kincer. I might wait until the truck arrives so I can measure the space and size one up. I was thinking of switching everything to Deans plugs to match my existing stuff. So that the whole family's trucks and batteries are pretty interchangeable. So far its me and my sister, but trying to get a crawler in everyone's hands :ror: |

Buried in one of the C14 threads is the size of the battery box. GLW finding it. |
Re: WPL C14 I'll keep searching Brake Weight, thanks. |

Weight wise they may be worth it. Depends on how hard you wanna crawl it. |

Re: WPL C14 Does anyone weigh their wheels down? Sand or water or anything? Do the wheels need foams? Super glue tires on? |

The 3d printed wheels I made are significantly heavier than the stock ones. 11.3g vs 5.7g respectively. That should help some. |

Before I discovered lead wire, I used lead shot. I just got tired of little lead beebees all over my workbench. Also bebees can cause some weird wobbling when rolling. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...911/VgCmVx.jpg |

Re: WPL C14 Those are some great ideas, thank you all for your posts. Even if that lead wire is big, wrapping it once is still a possibility. Below are pictures of the axles built with the metal upgrade kit. Obviously it didnt come with directions, so the bronze flanges mystified me on where they went until I fit them in to the hub carriers and the turnbuckle. Can you let me know if they look installed correctly? https://i.imgur.com/GEbTbUJ.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Z1lub61.jpg |

The look right to me "thumbsup" |
Re: WPL C14 Small copper wire from Hobby Lobby works well and weight wise is about as good as it gets. |
Re: WPL C14 Got my Punisher diff covers painted. Came out just as I was hoping they would. https://i.imgur.com/z0q6toN.jpg |
