Hi guys

Today, we will assemble the kit version of this WPL C14 Toyota Hilux Crawler.

The kit version comes with a better motor than the ready to run version

and with a standard 3 pin steering servo!

The used receiver / ESC comes from a WLtoys K989 rally car and fits perfectly

The STL data for all 3D printed parts in this video can be found on my Thingiverse page.

I don't like the galvanized frame.

So I decided to paint it in black.

After some sanding and degreasing, we are ready to paint

The next step is to assemble the axles.

They jammed a bit and I had to slightly shorten the joint

The grease for the bushings is included

This is the front axle and you can see the steering dogbones.

The crown gear touches the axle housing,

so we have to remove a bit of the housing

Now its turning nice and free and we can grease and mount the bevel gear.

The next step is to do the same with the rear axle.

Both axles are done

The steering linkages are now installed

Next step: assembling the axle carriers and the shocks

The spring is inside the shock and you can replace it, if you remove the top cover.

The preassembled suspensions can now be attached to the freshly painted frame rails.

Here you can also see the motor, the steering

servo and the central gearbox

Both frame rails are now screwd together and the result is a nice and sturdy frame

The next step is to attach the axle linkages to the frame

The screws, which are used to mount the axle to the carrier are too long

So I 3D printed some spacers and added them below the screw heads

The same procedure is done for both axles

The frame and the suspensions are now finished.

The suspension works fine.

Next step: mounting the central gearbox

The included tires are nice and soft.

So let's mount them.

Now we want to mount the steering servo which came with the kit.

To mount the servo horn, we have to move it

to the center position first.

A servo tester is used to do that.

A servo mounting screw and a grommet, which came with the kit

are used to connect the steering linkage.

But it doesn't really fit good.

So I decided to 3D print my own servo horn.

To keep the servo horn in the right orientation, I filed a flat to the servo shaft.

The grommet and the bushing go into the bore

of the steering linkage

The servo horn is attached to the servo shaft

and to the steering linkage

The entire steering mechanism is now assembled

Time for a test.

The movement is still a bit too much with +/- 45° servo angle

This receiver was left over from my K989 "Micro RC" conversion

I assume it will be perfect for this car.

So let's wire it up and see, what it does!

Looks good!

Thanks to the adjustable throttle duel rate, it's perfect for crawling.

But will it crawl?

Let's test it!

OK

Something is wrong here.

But what?

Yes, the headlight reflectors need some paint!

Look much much better now!

So now we can attach the front grill to the bumper

And then the bumper to the frame.

I think it doesn't look too bad with the paint!

Poor coke can car!

Of course we want black windshield rubber seals

Now the steering servo needs to be attached

So I 3D printed this clamp

It fits perfectly to the servo, which came with the kit.

The next thing to do is to make the battery wiring harness.

The piece on the left came from the K989

This is the test of the battery wiring

Now we want to branch off some 5V wires for the lights.

They are soldered to the servo supply pins of the receiver

This slot is required for the wires

Of course a crawler needs a waterproof receiver.

So it is conformal coated.

The coated receiver is now ready for reassembling

And now it's ready to be mounted in the car

A 100nF ceramic noise suppression capacitor is soldered across the motor terminals

The receiver is then attached to the servo clamp and the motor wiring is finished

This is the finished motor wiring

Next step: routing and securing the battery wiring.

The engine was not inserted deep enough in the gearbox

and the result was a grinding noise

Removing a bit of the housing allows to push it in deep enough for a proper gear mesh

To prevent it from sliding out again, it's secured with super glue

Now we are ready to mount the bed on the frame

To make some room for the wiring, we have to Dremel two slots in the front cover

Here you can see, why the slots are required

Of course we also want working rooftop lights

All 4 LED are wired in parallel

The next step is to solder the wires and to protect them with shrink tube

Again a slot is required to route the wires

Finally, the wiring is secured with zipties

Next: painting the LED wires in black

Of course, this window rubber gasket also needs to be black

The entire rear wall can now be attached to the bed

A small hole is required to route the LED wires

The DIYGuy999 Junior is now finishing the body

Of course we also want working headlights!

So let's prepare a 5V distributor board

Fits nicely on existing mounting posts

The 5V supply wires are now attached

Nice working rooftop lights!

They are wired with a 100 Ohm series resistor

Next: soldering wires to the headlight LED and protect them with heatshrink

The LED are then secured with super glue

The wire ends are now stripped and soldered to the distributor board.

The series resistor value is 220 Ohms

Of course, the distributor board also needs to be waterproof

Here you can see the details of the 5V distributor board

The electronics are now finished and we are ready to mount the cover

The cover is secured with two screws

These headlights are really nice looking!

Time to mount the body!

It is attached with a total of 6 screws.

That's it.

Doesn't look bad at all!

I was not entirely happy with the steering.

So I decided to design and 3D print a new, shorter servo arm and a new, longer steering linkage

The new parts allow a symmetrical steering angle

Finally I glued the bevel gear shaft bushing

and shortened the rear prop shaft about 1mm

Now we are ready for the first real outdoor test drive!

Let's plug in the LiPo battery!

Will it explode?

Yes, it's a crawler, this is top speed!

So, it should have off road capabilities, right?

Thanks to the waterproofed electronics, water is no problem.

But will it like snow?

Wow, this is really respectable for a 1:16 scale!

I hope, this little tutorial was helpful for you

The K989 receiver seems to be the perfect choice and makes this build really easy!

24 Heures du Mans 2018 - Pascal Vasselon, Toyota: "prepared for the unexpected" - Duration: 2:24.

What's radically different, new or innovative about the car you're preparing?

The car itself isn't going to change much.

We're improving reliability, working on cooling and tweaking the aerodynamics

but the new parts won't be visible.

On the outside, the car is practically the same as last year.

The big change is in the way we're preparing for Le Mans.

The last four times our performance was of winning standard and the car was fundamentally reliable

but it didn't work out due to unforeseeable circumstances

things that never happen and yet they do at Le Mans.

We already have reliability, so we don't have to run long distances.

Instead, we spend a lot of time making up problems to see how the team deals with them.

We analyse the reaction, debrief and set up effective procedures.

Basically, we want to be prepared for the unexpected.

That might seem a bit twisted, but it's the underlying theme of our winter training.

Two cars and six super drivers.

Obviously, your life doesn't revolve around Fernando Alonso but his participation is a big event.

How are you managing?

He's obviously a star, but there's no issue with that, because when he's with us, he doesn't behave like one.

I've known Fernando for a long time because we started in Formula One in the same year, 2000.

No, for the moment there are no problems to speak of.

He's joined us with one aim, to race a fast car.

To him it's a novelty to be able to do fast lap after fast lap without breaking down.

It's all new to him, so there's no problem.

He does his job and it's all going well for the moment. He is incredibly enthusiastic.

I knew he would be, but not having spent much time with him lately, I'd forgotten.

He has an excellent track record in Formula One and he could have been content with his lot in life,

but no, he came to us like a youngster at a go-kart track getting

to drive the most beautiful racing car he's ever seen.

It's amazing to see such fresh-faced excitement.

2018 Toyota C HR SUV Car Feature Review - Duration: 3:04.

The 2018 Toyota C-HR was initially meant to be sold as a Scion in the U.S. Consequently,

it comes well-equipped for the segment, with merely two trim levels--XLE and XLE Premium--lots

of standard equipment, and merely a single option .

Every C-HR comes standard with influence windows, locks, and reflects; 18 -inch rotates; dual-zone

climate control; a 7.0 -inch touchscreen audio system with steering-wheel authorities; and

a rearview camera.

It has a few niceties, too, including a rear cargo light, that aren't necessarily may be

in automobiles this size .

We rate the 2018 C-HR at 6 points out of 10; it's decently furnished, but its rate puts

it in competitor with some bigger vehicles where its boast determined is pretty much

standard.

We rendered it an extra moment over the average of 5 for the wide variety of trader accessories,

though sadly it has no unique "killer app" that distinguished from competitors .

The XLE Premium includes blind-spot observes, a influence driver's seat with more adjustments,

heated front seats, a keyless ignition, fog suns, and turn signals in the door reflects.

The audio system on both versions includes AM/ FM/ HD radio, a USB port, and Bluetooth

pairing for audio streaming and articulation authorities.

It does not include Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, an increasingly obvious omission these

days, especially among the younger purchasers Toyota is targeting with the C-HR .

That one option, known as "R-Code," is a striking combining of white roof, reflects, and windshield

pillars that's offered for merely three of its seven form colorings.

Purchasers who want to personalize their C-HRs can choose from almost two dozen appearance,

utility, and conduct accessories at the trader, following the model established by Mini, Scion,

and other stylish small-car firebrands .

The C-HR XLE beginning at approximately $23,500 including give, while the Premium includes

another $850 on top of that.

That's several thousand dollars higher than the base rate of more conventional economy

hatchbacks, and accentuates Toyota's goal of participate in the C-HR well out of that

segment and into the" personal announcement" category of tiny automobiles .
