Welcome to Ampro Engineering. This channel is all about making those old RC toys we had as kids as good as they deserved to be way back in the 1980's...but today. We love 3D printing parts for the best and the worst RC's ever made and sometimes, we will fix random things.
That is why RC is great, you learn how to fix anything you get your hands on!
This channel creates and upgrades, restores and builds but we never destroy...unless it is on accident and your mechanical speed control gets stuck, causing your beloved Monster Beetle to barrel uncontrollably toward a cliff...then in that case it is not avoidable.

e409: Monster Beetle Front Brace and Aux. Lamp Bracket
Very impressed considering what it is. It looked to have counter rotating drive shafts for the front and rear drive shafts. Having 1/10 scale trucks some of the older designs don't have that, this helps with torque twist and very cool to see.
I like it ✌️😎
Yeah me too!
The best RC channel in YT. Missed you! And dont forget I want to buy ampro t shirts :)
Oh thank you! Yeah I am so busy with a home addition lately but I will get the uploads going again!
Really happy you're back Alberto! Hope all is well with you and your family. You're one of the best RC channels on RUclips so I do hope you stay around for a while! 😁 There have been some interesting releases in the small scale end of the hobby, as I'm sure you're aware of. Have you seen the Kart 80 from Minimum RC (Sengi brand)? A funny ~1/13th go kart kit! 🤩 Loved the building experience. LDRC are at it again with their drift models and I couldn't pass a metal diecast one. This pick-up looks really nice and I'd have all the WPL models if I could, but that category is filled with a C-24 already. 😛 I'll be here for the upcoming videos! 💪 Thanks for your work!
Oh ill be around! Things have been crazy here with the home addition. Yeah a lot has been happening and I have more WPL, CXD and LDRC cars to upload reviews on!
@@AMPROEngineering can't wait to see those! 😁🙏🙏🙏
Ah, very interested in that grill but cant find the link. Thanks for your video!!
I will have a video on this soon! This is a grill I designed.
Rather odd feature at 6:11, the C64-1 and C74 receiver has no dual rate for throttle but rather drag brake and non-drag brake. If I'm right, there are two versions of the WPL BC receiver, the one with dual throttle and the one with drag brake in place of that dual throttle. I have both, I ordered a couple WPL BC receiver that has dual rate for throttle but interestingly my C74 has a receiver that doesn't go faster, instead it has drag brake.
I saw the drag brake function. This was added later with the revised rec/esc combo. Neat option for sure.
@@AMPROEngineering Yes, it's neat but also confusing since some of the transmitters still have the H/L throttle rate on the button instead of BRAKE so you ended up thinking it will give a stronger electrical power to the motor but it enables the drag brake instead. At least the 370 motor does have higher RPM so it does go faster by default than the 260.
I need a 100 series Lexus body
Very unique!
Too small brah
Not for me. I don't these giant rc cars that have become common. 1/16-1/12 is perfect.
@@AMPROEngineering 🤔
Jackson Susan Robinson Jeffrey Young Jose
yeah....
Was waiting for this review, awesome video always. Love that the Tercel got some screen time too!
I am so behind!
Any idea where I can find the Falcon chassis braces now that shapeways is gone? I am building a Stadium Blitzer and would love to have these for durability.
Yes. We are setting up a YouMagine page for home prints and they will offer printing services!
@@AMPROEngineering Awesome! Any idea when that will be active?
Ampro uploaded!!!! 🎉🎊🤩🎈
Ill post more soon I promise!
@@AMPROEngineering thanks! 😁take your time! 😛
Use Larger motor like 380 or 540 will be nice
The C54-1 video uses the optimal motor for this model. A 540 would ruin everything about the model including the CG. This is a small car.
A high RPM 180 is enough for 1/16 scale, a lower RPM 370 is the best for torque, a 540 is detrimental because you have to modify so much.
Looks like the steering need some mod, sound's doesn't very smooth
No, as I covered in the end, there is a simple fix for it but I do not think it was acceptable to sell it like this.
Not bad for entry level rc hobby
I am a massive fan of WPL having used these since the start of the company.
Give Some Modification and The Rig have decent capability to crawl and offroad
Yes absolutely. I have covered many on this channel.
I don't like how low it is
🤣🤪
It needs to have 30 degrees of camber all around. Then you can blare your electro, bust out the glow sticks and do a top spin.
The body looks nice, but it sits so, so high. Like crazy bro dozer with a huge lift kit. And those wheels are huge and look even less scale on this one than on something like the C24.
Yeah I am not a fan of the height but I think it needs some wider tires to get that mini monster look.
WPL’s the greatest plastic models you can drive lol.
Only if you choose to forget about FMS. While my WPLs look fantastic, both stock and done up, they're nowhere near as great looking as my FMS 1/12 Jimny. :)
For the price, you cant beat them.
Yeah but WPL's are bigger and way cheaper than the 1/18 FMS cars. I have a pile of FMS cars too and love them.
@@AMPROEngineering True, they are way cheaper, and they look great. I have four C24s, a B24 and a D12. I also just received a C44KM last week, but the cab was completely smashed to bits inside the box, so WPL has sent me a new one. Can't wait to build that one. They look so good. The 1/12 FMS rigs do look even better though, and quality wise they're a couple of steps above a WPL, plus they have nicer features. And they are like 2-3 times the price of a WPL. :)
@@Br0rB The C24 is the best one out of everything honestly. It has a large battery space and high ground clearance for that price, unbeatable. Probably the one I recommend to anyone.
Fine work indeed! Subbed
well thank you!
I was finally able to get one of these after wanting one for so many years. It's not yet built but will be soon. It's actually my second Tamiya after my M05 that my local club races.
They are tons of fun! Get yourself the aluminum body mounts on eBay. The plastic ones are trash.
Love a link to the blue and yellow hauler lol
Haha! Thats an old Chevron car (like from the gas station). I think search "Chevron car hauler" on ebay.
@@AMPROEngineering that would be a cool rc conversion lol
If you make it dual moter, it becomes a beast! With 2 stock fms moters and stock esc
Oh i bet! Ill have to look at that
Does anyone know if the dual 370 motor mount works in the B36-3?
So I installed the 2 speed with the 370. I installed a larger motor on the C54 (shown here, its the red one) and that may help with your question. I cant recal what trans this one came with.
Any follow up coming soon on this? Anyone found a correct sized replacement servo if needed?
I am doing this video after the battery one coming next! As for a servo, I am running the stock one
4:18 what is schmutz brah?
dirt or a similar unpleasant substance.
@@AMPROEngineering is that German brah?
Is the new reciver conecting to any remote control?
Yes it was used on a FlySky unit.
Jeep taillights on these old step side trucks brah
Yeah they were generic lights that Semi trucks used also.
@@AMPROEngineering also trailers brah
Music is cool you be from & in Cali brah
Yes there is a link to the band in the description.
@@AMPROEngineering coolnesses brah
Dood you making me want to do a whole 1/12 scale Tamiya series with this, Lunchbox & Clod Buster brah 😐
Yeah they are fun ones to build.
@@AMPROEngineering truenesses brah
It’s missing the doghouse all those old vans had in order to cover the engine brah 🤔
Nope its there. It is what I have the cup holders in.
@@AMPROEngineering cup holders brah
Can MIP make a decent sand scorcher diff .cos the Tamiya hop up ball diff is garbage .my first one would not stay tight it kept coming loose even with copious amounts of loctite .tried them all red Blue and green .and the second one broke off the adjusting nut when running ..waste of time and money .for the money they cost they’re appalling quality
We have talked about it but there is no market for them. Tamiya stopped making them due to poor sales.
4WD? 2WD
4wd.
Any recommendations for tires? The stock are awful in the dirt.
Hey Eric, yeah they are totally tarmac tires. Sadly I do not know about alternatives for it.
@@AMPROEngineering No worries 👍 👌
That shapeways website doesn’t work brah
They just went out of business. We are scrambling to find a new host but with us having 5200 individual products, this is going to take time. For now we are expanding our YouMagine for home prints. We are posting on FB and IG as soon as we figure it out.
@@AMPROEngineering oh…
Don’t say cute you’re a grown a_s man brah
Why? It is CUTE. A lot of things are CUTE.
@@AMPROEngineering from now on you need to sit when you pee brah
Bloody? 🤔
In British slang, bloody means something like “very.” ie: That's bloody brilliant!
@@AMPROEngineering oh, I see now you’re British brah
Dammit! Bought this for my Tamiya Lunchbox & it didn’t fit what a scam!
So you didn't see the part where I explain how it doesn't fit the lunchbox chassis? Or on the item description?
@@AMPROEngineering what are you taking bout brah?
I keep checking every few months. Hopefully this is still going to happen
They are already filling orders. I think it's just slow based on the fact they do it in house.
@@AMPROEngineering How do I order one? On their site, it only tells me to be put on a list to be notified for them.
So my question is what would it cost to by all the pieces? Essentially what would a super fly 3 kit cost?
Well, I uploaded everything to Shapeways, 5 hours before they went out of business....so at this point, it is only available via home print. I am working on a new print host. Ball park is in MJF which I used, well over $300. Pretty much not worth considering you need lots of other hardware.
@AMPROEngineering everything is always worth a thought plus I am not one to get rid of parts that still have life left so hardwarei have, as well as having something unique is always worth considering.
How much to order a set of 6 Hub Caps from you. ?
The company that hosted my shop just closed down sadly. We are looking for a new print shop and will figure this out soon. Otherwise we will be expanding our new YouMagine site for home prints.
shapeways is shutting down and I cant buy some of your upgrades. do you have another site we can go to?
We are working on it. This has been disastrous for us.
This is awesome
Thank you!
Can’t go wrong with a mititoyo caliper
Nope!
Reminds me of the 70s as a kid, seeing all the vans will shag carpet and captains chairs, oh an the tinted hart shaped windows 😃
haha! For sure!
Will the shapeways drama affect you? I’m sure I’ll be purchasing more in the future, I love my hornet cage.
Sadly yes. I had 5200 parts on my store there and suddenly, all income from there is gone. I am working on alternatives but its bad. Thanks man
@@AMPROEngineering I didn’t mean to rub salt, my apologies
I think it looks great without the body 😊
Yeah I know, it looks awesome like that too!
7 years later I got a knock off Tamiya light kit for my wife's 72 Chevy. This video helped. The Vaterra has a 4 channel receiver, but only a 2 channel radio. I just put the channel 3 wires together. Now the extra headlights flash when you squeeze the throttle about half way. Those flash to pass lights and the red brake lights were connect in the wrong ports. Swapped 'em over and bang! Light kit ready to install. Thanks!! 00
Sure thing! Glad it worked out for you.
Always wanted one of those Mondeos. Not been able to afford one agrevated by the fact that the full size Ford was everywhere in the UK at that time!
I also have wanted one. I used to have a US Contour but for some reason, the 1st gen EU Mondeo Hatch/Sedan was always a car I wanted to import to the US.
@AMPROEngineering had a mk2 Fiesta, a Mk4 Escort, a Mk2 Sierra and currently drive a Mk3 Focus so guess that makes me a Ford guy hey? 😉👌
i love those rims and tires
Thank you!
