The perseids RC Crawler Offroad RC Truck WPL C14 RC Rock Crawler 4x4 1/16 Scale Remote Control Trucks, 2.4G Semi Trucks All Terrain Car RTR Hobby RC Pickup for Adults

WPL is my favorite brand crawler. It is a great beginner crawler because of the low price and availability of upgrade parts. WPL builds their RC cars with the buyer in mind and does not force you to sell your organs or take a second mortgage out on your house to buy their stuff. You can upgrade their products like any other brand from wheels, tracks, gearbox, motor, axles and anything you can think of. Out of all my crawlers and drift cars I find myself using WPL the most while the rest collect dust now. If you have a 3d printer you can make just about anything you want for it. It comes with a metal frame but the rest of it is plastic for the most part. Adding 4 wheel steering and a 2 speed gearbox makes this thing a beast. It comes stock with a singlet gearbox And Plastic axles which can be gutted and replaced with metal parts. You can buy a 3 channel remote and new esc that comes with a speaker to add engine noise and the third channel to control a winch. Overall I think it is worth every penny it cost.

Update: this thing has been fully modded underneath. All the metal you can get your hands on. It now crawls. It's now a true 1/16 scale crawler. It's been hurdle after hurdle and I've had to fabricate a bunch of things myself, but it's been worth every step getting it to this point. Get one if you're at all curious.I have watched plenty of reviews on the RTR models so I knew exactly what I was getting myself in to. I was pleasantly surprised to see mine came with proportional steering, has screws in the drive shafts connecting them to the differentials, and the tires are plenty soft enough.A not on the tires. Apparently, there is a big difference in the rubber compound being used in the RTR models. I don't have a kit version so I can not confirm.What I can confirm is that the RTR tires ARE stiff right out of the box, but if you take them off the rims and turn them inside out once or twice, and twist them around a little to break the material in, you end with a very nice supple tire that runs way better than stock and not having done this.I also recommend, first and foremost, find the right size Phillips screwdriver and go through the entire truck and tighten the screws up. When I say tighten, I don't mean strip them. You get one chance to strip it and the holes are done. I went through the whole thing and tightened numerous screws, especially on the frame links. Just doing that seemed to really tighten up the truck's overall feel.Another suggestion? Find a piece of soft foam to fold around the battery before placing it in the compartment. It helps keep the battery from rolling around in the compartment and it helps damped overall sound of the truck and quiets it down a little, I think.All in all, I love the thing. I have 2 Redcat 1/10 scale crawlers and this little 1/16 just might have become my favorite of them all. I already ordered the axle upgrade kit, new metal frame links and shocks and a new set of wheels and tires. I can't wait to mod this up and run it! These little rigs are so fun.If you get one and haven't heard, there is a HUGE online community for these trucks. Upgrade parts, tips, tricks & mods galore! If you;re looking for a new hobby, I highly recommend this. I know will be getting another one for the collection very soon.

These things are a lot of fun. I have had issues in the past about actually receiving the product though. The first time, my wife ordered one for me and we never received it. Then we eventually tried to get another one. I received that one and spent quite a bit of money over time upgrading all the plastic pieces with metal pieces. After putting that one through hell, it eventually died on me. I ordered another one (3rd time now) and didn’t receive the truck so I asked for a replacement and finally received my second truck. Two are apparently lost out there just floating around in an Amazon warehouse.These trucks are a lot of fun though and my son and I get hours and hours of fun out of them even if you just leave them stock.I gave it 4 stars because they’re great, budget friendly RC trucks. I will drop it to one star if they charge me for the one I never received because I’ll have essentially been charged 4 times for 2 trucks.

Nice little crawler for the money. My teen has found enjoyment with this little capable RC

Classic rc die .... Soon was super excited to get it out and started but it couldn't actually handle the outdoors the way videos show. Lasted a little over a day before the motor burned out

Great, out of the box crawler that can be modified like crazy for short money. Company that makes these, WPL, has fantastic customer support. Slap a set of different tires on it and go.

Lower suspension mount snapped (pictured) any replacement parts? Decent truck for the price but the tires are way to hard, not much for upgrade options unless you can fabricate, the suspension is ridged and the axel rods are a 5.5mm hex with a screw which most 1/16 and 1/24 wheels are a 7mm with threaded ends so you can just buy any wheel setup you want.

Very realistic and fun to play with
