The perseids 1:16 2.4G 2CH 4WD RC Off-Road Vehicle Military Semi-Truck Car Climb Truck RTR Toy for Kids Red

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.

Great little truck. It’s the first crawler rc I’ve owned and it’s more capable than I expected. Proportional steering and throttle, metal diff gears and the battery seems to last a long time when just crawling. Tires could be softer for more grip, and turning circle could be tighter, but I can’t complain for the price. Overall I’ve had no issues with it and it’s proving to be a tough little truck. I actually bought another one for my son since we enjoyed it so much. With a little searching on the Internet, I found heaps of upgrade parts for it too. Definitely recommended as an entry level crawler.

Looks great tried it worked great. Had to tighten screws it is not 4 channel it’s 4 function. Charged battery drove it few minutes and it stopped working. Still great little beginner trail/crawler.

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.

I bought this for my kids (but really for myself) I wanted to intro them to RC cars with something that wasn't super fast and this is great. It's fairly slow but lots of power for us to setup obstacles to try to run it though. At first I thought everything felt loose and wasn't going to last but so far my 4 and 6 year old haven't broken it and its been a fun toy for them and me. Battery life is awesome and enjoy the lights on the Truck so I can tell when they haven't turned it off.
