So the Axles are all metal, assuming the gears are as well.. But the first thing that i had to "fix" were the transmission outputs to the axles. I havent taken apart the transmission to see how it all goes together inside but i know that those are my weak points.. Wondering if these are the "Upgrades"

Re: WPL C14
 

where could i get a set of those axles at. it looks good and would like to do this to mine.

Re: WPL C14
 

fleaBay is then best option. Redcat axles come as tear steer only.

Re: WPL C14
 

Got mine built today. Still need ESC and radio gear. No sure I have a battery small enough either!

Ordered a red one since I figured Id build a red one. Last night I decided it needed to be white. Yup.... its pink.

Re: WPL C14
 

thanks brakeweight. im looking now

Re: WPL C14
 

For anyone thinking about a small esc I got a couple of the cheapie esc’s TooOldForThis mentioned and they work great for this truck(thanks for the tip!). I tucked a cheapie small orange 2.4 receiver and 800mh lipo under the tool box. Works great!

Someone asked and the kit and RTR do come with different motors, larger one in the kit. 180 instead of 130 maybe?

Anyone know what year Toyota this is? 1982?

Re: WPL C14
 

That's an 1983. "thumbsup"

Nice, post up your thread when it's there! "thumbsup"

Great news, these look really cool and now beefier parts! "thumbsup"

So I didn't really have the "right" hardware to make this work and got tired of waiting. Also, my rc budget is basically non-existent so I decided to get creative/ghetto fabulous.

used pieces of hanger for links: https://i.imgur.com/6r3oUN7.jpg?3

I originally had a crazy motor mount setup made out of whatever I could find. yes, those are L-brackets: https://i.imgur.com/DBDSqUk.jpg?1

the axle angles were good but the bolts sticking out of the bottom were gone. my drill recently died and I don't have a vice or hacksaw. I live in a condo so my work space is pretty, restricted, I guess:

https://i.imgur.com/K532zud.jpg?1

so I decided that when all else fails, zip ties:

https://i.imgur.com/JJZcFho.jpg?1

and yes, that is a brushless motor. because if it's going to be ridiculous and terrible, why not also make it fun?

one more look:

https://i.imgur.com/mtksw5Y.jpg?1

for this reason I have decided to call this build "Zippy".

I hid the battery under the hood, sandwiched between the frame and the body. at this point I just wanted to see my frankenstein work so I zip-tied the electronics on the back:

https://i.imgur.com/Q6JyWpT.jpg?1

I guess my links weren't even/it is a terrible system so we had a bit of lean in the front end:

https://i.imgur.com/fHTjrcq.jpg?1

okay, a lot of lean:

https://i.imgur.com/dhM2ha0.jpg?1

and an undershot of the rear end:

https://i.imgur.com/e47c6fl.jpg?1

here are two crappy videos I shot before work. I'll try to get an outdoor video soon. also for some reason there seems to be a really long pause between forwards and backwards. I assume it's because it's a brushless motor but I'm not too sure.

Video 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e28g...ature=youtu.be

Video 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5yx...ature=youtu.be

all in all it's pretty fun but I don't know if I want to put the (minimal, I know) money into doing it right. I think I'll probably just put the stock slickrock back together and throw it on ebay with the C14 parts to raise money towards a mega truck/monster truck project that I can do right.

Re: WPL C14
 

awesome. and horrible. and awesome. Extra points for ingenuity.

Re: WPL C14
 

It goes so far into horrible, it comes back around into awesome. It's like drinking yourself sober.
:lmao:

Re: WPL C14
 

haha thanks guys. oh yeah, I had to make the super ghetto links because the slickrock comes with a 3-link setup that couldn't transfer over because it was a molded plastic piece that was too wide to attach to the WPL frame. that's why I had to just bend hangers and put them around screws on the axles that were actually just screwed into the servo mount's holes.

Re: WPL C14
 

That’ll be a nice addition. I may just have to get one of those, too.

Re: WPL C14
 

That’s the one I’m waiting for!

Re: WPL C14
 

just found this https://www.geekbuying.com/item/WPL-...ed-393638.html

Saw this thread the other day and thought it would be a cool little cheapo truck, so I bought a red kit version. Started putting it together and hated the wheels, so I'm working on 3D printing some. Still making minor adjustments, but I'm just about there. They are functional in their current iteration, but there's a few minor issues I still want to fix...

Ignore the random wires (still working on the electrical), but here's a couple of mock-up pics with the wheels...

Re: WPL C14
 

Looking good and wheels came out nice too! :)

Re: WPL C14
 

370 and 2 speed factory option? LOL. Here it is.

Re: WPL C14
 

Looks good man! I'm still trying to find an ESC for mine. Its been built for a few months now!

Re: WPL C14
 

I bought the 2 speed for mine hopefully I get it soon. I had bought a 180 size motor for it which greatly increased the torque of it. I have made aluminum links which helped the suspension travel and put RC4WD 80 MM scale shocks on the rear and have Dromida Shocks I found at the hobby shop for 7.99$. I have yet to put the front shocks on it.

Re: WPL C14
 

I ordered 3 of the c24s. Also on bangood is a full metal upgrade including the 2speed/370 motor. This will be a fun little truck

Re: WPL C14
 

I finally got back to this little project. Still looking for the right shocks. I even tried the stock shocks and they have more travel than the RC4WD shocks.

Im probably just going to use the stock RedCat tranny and electronics. Ill have to cut away some of the cab floor for it to fit.

Re: WPL C14
 

What axle is that?

Re: WPL C14
 

Redcat

Re: WPL C14
 

Losi Mini axles. But the 1.55s look like mall crawler 20s.

Re: WPL C14
 

I got the tranny rigged and all the electronics dialed. Now I just have to decide how to detail the cab. Otherwise it's a runner - and it runs good.;-)

Re: WPL C14
 

Why did u change axles? Looks like you running 3link set up now?

Re: WPL C14
 

Here's a couple pics of my C-14 that I've started building. Have only drilled out the fake holes in the time, painted them, and filled with some water for weight.

I'm gonna start replacing the drivetrain with metal gears, drive shafts, and metal linkage soon.
