WPL D12 1/10 RWD 2.4G Off Road RC Car Drift Climbing Truck Crawler with Brushed 260 Motor 1:10 Simulation RC Vehicles (White)

This is the first RC car I've used at any price that has ZERO low speed motor/ESC whine. Very cool. Makes for a much more pleasant indoor "toy car" experience. Low speed control is also pretty good. Car rolls to a stop while coasting, and brakes whinelessly and quickly. A+ ESC. The geartrain is a bit noisy though. Push-button steering and throttle rate limits are well thought out, though there does seem to be some expo dialed in, and it can't be changed. Though it uses a single board receiver/ESC combo, like I said, the ESC is whine-free, and that is a huge bonus. The servo is a normal, standard sized three wire servo so could be replaced if needed. The included battery is very cheap, and the plug it uses is cumbersome to work with; I'll be replacing it with another solution, but this does work just fine. Scale details are great! Mirrors pop off upon impact and should hold up to a few re-attachments before breaking. Light buckets included, and the ESC/Rx combo has headers for lights. I don't know whether another transmitter could be used with this board... Effective suspension: makeshfit leafsprings in rear, and piano wire up front for makeshift torsion bar spring. Clever, realistic, but undampened. The front has more articulation, allowing the rear to unload weight from the inside wheel while corning, so cornering, even for a solid axle, is very good. If you load up the rear with weight, it will understeer more. For a little over fifty bones, this thing is a very good value, and a great addition to any collection. EDIT: After a few weeks of playing around and scooping out the electronics, this has become one of my all time favorites. A standard 2s 450 mAh "drone battery" squeezes nicely between the rear license plate and the back of the normal battery box. The battery is too long to fit inside the battery box without cutting the plastic. This thing really comes alive if you wire in a small 400Hz active buzzer to a free channel on your radio and mount it securely to the inside of the body... Though this is "1:10 scale", the car its modeled after is tiny, so this is more like a 1:16 scale car... but since it's so light, it's not unreasonable to use a 1:18 scale ESC for it. Which is what I'm doing. A decent little mini crawler AM32 ESC makes this low torque brushed motor shine even a bit brighter than it did with the factory ESC. You'll have to replace the electronics if you want to work around this car's only real weakness, which is the tiny transmitter with a very stiff steering wheel spring and overall very poor feel. Once command and control are handed over to a competent radio, the massive steering angle and broad range of throttle become much more enjoyable to utilize. I've run probably 20 packs through it and to my amazement, none of the gears have broke, nor has anything else in the drivetrain snapped or wore out. More durable than hobby shop RC cars 3x the price.

My boyfriend absolutely loves this truck! I got it for our anniversary and he plays with it every day. It is noisy but very fast and fun to play with. Battery lasts long.

Excellent achat !

Surprised it was fun and not slow. We wet the floor in the house and was drifting it.

Definitely not 1/10 scale, but seriously a great value. Hobby grade, decent aftermarket out there, drifts pretty great, controls are surprisingly precise.
