The free mods are great but getting rid of that whine is priceless!! It is the one thing that drives me batty about these is that never ending whine at slow speeds. Ginormous improvement!!
😂 absolutely Addam I have one other that is actually worse than this 🤣 I guess I will have to get rid of that also but for filming and adding music it's okay 😁🤣 thanks for checking in much appreciated 👍☺️
Oh wow! I looovvve your garden trail! It's completely epic!!!!!!!!!! Not all free mods, but heck, even the ones suggested aren't too expensive. I recently acquired the latest WPL Jimni, which has a removable, scale looking lexan camvas top, with a scale rollover bar hidden underneath. And once you take the roof off, you can fold down the windscreen! But, and it's a great big ol' BUT, the tires are hard rubber, so hard they don't need foam inserts! I'm seriously thinking about drilling holes in them or something! Ok for grass, but no good on rocks! So I just ordered the soft version and some other spares, like metal drive shafts. Yes the plastic ones look scary wimpy! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I'm loving the scale details on all the WPL models. I have a Kei Truck and a 6x6 army truck which I found on display at a local model shop for £29 with no radio. So I'll be fixing that in a while. Keep up the good work buddy! 😁
@@wordreet thank you very much for your kind words really appreciate ! WPL is okay generally we just need to improve it a little 😜. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for stopping by
Hey Fonzie, fantastic upgrade to the WPL C74, taking away that whine from the ESC is so, so much better. I’ll have to check my C24…I used the WPL upgrades ESC that can cope with 3s packs (as it was the only one in stock), to see if that whine is evident, if so, might do the same upgrade to the 1060 ESC. Great tip and great running in your ultra tidy course 😊😊best wishes my good friend. 😊
Hi John thanks for stopping by and leaving a great comment ! Yes the res3 can take a 3s but it's got no endpoints and that is really a must in the steering also the modulation is not really comparable with a HW1060 I have one of them also . I can definitely recommend the 1060 they are available on AliExpress for a great price . I will leave a link to it on the description
Thank you very much really appreciate it . Yes the esc is a big improvement it's a total different RC with it ! I have just done a paint job on it also check out my short videos for the update Hi 👋 from the UK Have a great evening

Excellent work and a very nice and simple tutorial. Did you also manage to stop the sagging in the rear leaf springs? Are you still using the stock battery in the rear tray?
Thanks buddy much appreciated just give them a quick squeeze 😉 it will be okay however mine aren't bad . No I'm using a 3s but still in the rear in the same place I just extended the wire also 😁
HI Fonzie, the intro with you putting the radio gear in the FIRE PIT awesome🤣🤣🤣but the mods you did on it was perfect, noticed that there was a whine on the before shot and very little to none on the after. I handled the course like a champ, so what other upgrades do you have in mind for this one? Wonderful video, take care my friend.💯💯💯
Thanks Al much appreciated your kind words and visit yes absolutely worth it it's a totally different RC .yes I'm do have other plans for it ☺️ but not Shure on when nothing to big just slight improvements
Great video! Can I ask a question? Everything I have seen about the Hobbywing 1060 says you need a receiver as the one in the vehicle is an esc/receiver combo. Did you also install a receiver? Thanks
Of course you can ask questions ! Yes if you want to run the 1060 you need to upgrade the receiver also but it will improve it like 10 times it's night and day!! The stock transmitter and receiver are a bit rubbish really
@@Fonzierc so what did you do then regarding the battery? Any of the NIMH battery packs have much smaller wiring than the gauge that comes out of the ESC. So I get I would have to change the connecters to make sure they fit, but any batteries I've seen that are Lipo, would not fit in the battery compartment it appears? Am I wrong? What battery are you running? If you don't mind me asking? Thank you so much.
@@TheMindsEyeRC hi I'm running a 2s or a 3s battery the wiring has been changed for better quality than stock and I'm using jst plugs there is lot's of batteries available that will fit in there I'm using overlamder 850 mah packs
I really hope you don’t mind me asking again. As you did in your video, I have just changed the driveshafts’ and axles’ positions. But now when I hit the gas, the car drives reverse and when I push reverse the car goes straight forward. Would you mind helping me out in this case? Kind regards from Germany again, Christoph.

This suzuki seems really good, excellent presentation and above all a very good test. It makes me want to buy it 😁
You should! It's a great looking rc it will look really good on your crawler course thanks Pascal
@@Fonzierc I will definitely buy it 😉

WPL is okay generally we just need to improve it a little 😜.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for stopping by
Nice job on this car. It makes a Samurai out of a Jimny😉. I like especially the diff/axle change.
Thanks Dirk much appreciated yes it's a small mod but it really does help this little RCs
Always excellent work, all your vehicles are in tip top shape🙏✝️☮️🤓 what big difference on the sound, smooth
Thank Lou really appreciate 🙏
Like wise you also like to take of your rigs .
Absolutely 💯 it's a must have on this type of rig
Good mods Fonzie decent looking truck
Thanks Brent much appreciated your visit and comment there will be more mods and upgrades afterwards !
Great simple mods Fonzie, really made a difference especially getting rid of the stock electronics and annoying whine noise at slow speeds!
Thank David for checking in much appreciated 👍
Hope you are well and back to normal 🙏
Absolutely a few simple things makes a big difference
I´d say that´s 2 free upgrades, the hardware still costs a bit. But great thanks for the idea with the softer tires and driveshaft-position. ^^
👍 thanks

Big difference with just a couple of simple mods, very nice! 👍 I can’t stand the motor hum with stock electronics.
Lol I know it's a bit of a let down but it's cheap so we really complain allot about it 😁 .
Definitely a big improvement it handles a 3s pretty well 😁
Great job mate you should put a driver in the cockpit

Pois è joaõ eu tambem vou mudare mais coisa eixos de metal e mais outras coisas .
Definativamente a electronica .
Os drive shafts
Eixos de metal tambem melhora principalmente a frente onde vai melhore o circlo the diressaõ obviamente em metal te vai tambem ajudare com o pêso em baixo tambem os amortecedores funciona melhore que fexo de molas tambem .

Great job with the mods love the axle flip,are you still using stock length driveshafts or are these using the 34mm inner piece?
Thank you for checking in I have put metal drive shafts but they are stock l length you don't need longer drive shafts
Nice work bro very modded looks an runs awesome 🤜💯🔥
Thank you Tony much appreciated .
Runs clean without fumes 😜
Looks great on the trail
Thanks brother much appreciated 👍

You need to reverse the throttle ch2 .
Then it's all good 😊👍
@@Fonzierc Please let me know how you do that 🙈 I’m still using the stock controller 🎮
@@ChrissibabyUK then you need to swap the motor wires the other way
@@Fonzierc IT WORKS! Thank you so much. Hope we’ll crawl together one day. Chris
@@ChrissibabyUK no worries you are welcome 🤗 . who knows anything is possible
What controller did you use ??
I'm pretty sure I have mentioned it on the video but right now I'm using the radio link rc8x
