Sweet! Added to my wish list. If/When you get them, would you mind weighing them so that we can compare them to the stock rails?

If You’re still searching for a lower Kv Brushless: Turnigy has a 3300kv 370-sized brushless available. ( nr 122167) I use them in my Tamtech gear buggies. Mebbe they could work well for a properly geared WPL?

It’s the lowest KV I could find in that size. If it has to be even slower, I think You could take a look at low kv Outrunners in 370/300 size?

Ive used a brushless motor from an FPV camera gimbal. 80Kv. Yes - eighty.

That sounds like it would be perfect!

[Jay-Em]

80Kv??

Would You even be able to see the car move at all, even at full throttle??

I can imagine a slug overtaking the CR12, going “ Aww, poor feller, looks so slow... must be vèry tired.. “

Nâh, just joshin’ ya. I wonder if a motor like that is powerful enough for direct drive, or something. Maybe 1 reduction gear in between. Do You have a vid somewhere of this 80kv running a crawler..? I am quite intrigued how that would go...

I agree, video please! It would be cool to have something like the dual N30 setup but with those motors

I am about to get a C24 RTR finally. I planned on getting the kit but they're out of stock in the US warehouse and I used up all my patience on my C14 with china shipping

[CD02]

Okay I just ordered one! Is this thread dead BTW?

Ok, I'm about to pick up my WPL project again. Is there a consensus on what the best part is for better steering? I haven't tried anything since that dogbone cup fiasco I bought a while back. I see they now have something like universals or something like that?

Waiting on the funds so I can greenlight a second C14/C24 kit. Gonna cannibalize it for the front steering system for my current C14 as I plan on a 4ws conversion.

Has anyone seen if 1.55s will fit these chassis? Looking to get the RC4wd 1.55 dually wheels for my B1, but unsure of what size hex they run.

I do want a set of steel wagon wheels for that classic Toyota look, but the OD of the tires looks way too big. Like the Goodyear Wrangler 1.55" are 90mm outer diameter. The stock wheels are 1.25" though, So you might be able to fit some 1.2" tires on the stock wheel or 1.0" wheels with 1.0" tires

I just got back to mine as well, been a crazy year, anyhow those universals that CD02 referred to are very very nice and work great!

Good to see you back man! I just ordered a C24 cause I gave my C14 to my son.

[CD02]

Here's my YT channel. I have some C14 videos, the WPL Raptor conversion and other stuff but I recently made a little trail run with the stock body back on (Not exactly crawling but I was hoping for some water :( oof )

Here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yktU_svhMaE&t=18s

I actually had four delivered, only building two, I got them at a discount $65 bucks each, it was cheaper to get the extra upgrade parts for my other trucks this way. You can't get all those parts that cheap buying them separately.
