WPL JAPAN C74 Custom Guide

Here are the parts used for this Jimny customization:

This time, the staff of RAYWOOD
We are welcoming new recruit Isono, who loves radio-controlled cars and plastic models.


◾️The appeal of WPL JAPAN

WPL JAPAN is a radio-controlled car that you can play with right out of the box , but it has a structure just like a real car, so there is a high degree of freedom in customization . But sometimes things don't go as planned. But that's the beauty of WPL. Even if things don't go as planned, you'll get hooked. You'll get addicted to customizing it.

◾️Introducing custom parts for the Jimny JA11!

This time, we will introduce some "Jimny customizations" that are aimed at experts, but even beginners can do them with a little effort. If you look at these, such as metalizing the tires and propeller shafts and van cuts, your Jimny will definitely look just like the real thing.

The image on the left above shows a Jimny JA11 customized by new recruit Isono. We will explain how to recreate this customization.

◾️How to install large tires

Products used

・1.55 inch steel beadlock wheel and tire set for RC crawlers

・WPL JAPAN Large diameter wheel washer and screw set

Isono's comment : The Jimny's large tires interfere with steering. That's why cutting the body is essential!

◾️The true joy of WPL: How to connect a 4ch radio

Products used

Isono's comment : This is where the real fun of WPL begins.

◾️Cut the body and switch it on easily!!

Products used

By cutting the hood, you can easily turn it on/off by connecting a 4-channel radio control.
If you find it troublesome to remove the body every time, please try this.

*This video uses DULO's rechargeable mini router, but you can easily cut something like a hood with a chisel.

Using these parts it is possible to create a similar Jimny, but we will introduce the finer details such as changing the roof and gearbox next time.

◾️There are other parts like this!!

[Wholesale World] Roof rack net for 1/10 to 1/12 scale RC cars



Marketing comment : Buy it as a set with a metal roof carrier!
Adding luggage makes it look even more realistic.

Metal roof carrier and 4 LED lights set



Isono's comment : To be honest, it would be a lot of work to make it compatible with the Jimny. But if you want to make it look great, you definitely want to have it installed!

Recommended for WPL JAPAN RC Light Control Module (2 systems, 4 lighting patterns, remote control function included)


Isono's comment : "It's necessary to turn the 4 lights on and off and make them flash with the radio control. With more actions, it will look even more like a real car!"

WPL JAPAN exclusive metal propeller shaft (67-87) x 1


Isono's comment : Slow running! The large capacity 30A ESC means you can be confident about the powerful motor! The metal propeller shaft is necessary to use the single gearbox set with the Jimny!

I used NITRO-COMP V2 for painting, but NITRO-BOY or TR-02 would be sufficient.
