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

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 cars are fun as heck! The accessories like mirrors, windshield wipers, snorkel etc. will fall off if you do a lot of rock crawling/rolling over and the suspension is bouncy and the tires are a little stiff to get great traction but for half the price of the name brand ones they are a ton of fun. If you are a purest scale crawler type should probably move along. If you want to have fun off roading these cars are great. I have the red truck with the cage bed and two of the blue trucks with white camper and they are holding up to quite the beating.Batteries last long enough to get bored and quit before it goes dead most times...at least half an hour.

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.

Great quality and super fun to drive around!

A pices broke off as soon as it was took out of the box from only trying it out in the house. It still worked but eventually stopped working all together. I've message the seller but haven't heard anything.

Works great great detail fun for kids or adults i got 2 of them learned the hard way keep them out of deep puddles

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.

I bought this to get back into the RC world but on a budget. I used to play with them as a kid and it's been just as much fun (or more) playing with them as an adult. This model has progressive steering and throttle so it does crawl pretty damn good for what it is.This truck will not do everything the larger models will do but it will do just about anything you throw at it that is within scale of the car. It's big enough to have fun out in the woods, backyard, walking trails, etc. but not too small where it gets hung up on small pebbles like the 1/24th scale cars.As is, out of the box, it is plenty fun. Just like any other vehicles I've bought, I can't leave anything alone so I have upgraded the steering, axles, links and put in a bigger battery. With the bigger battery I easily get over 1 hour of play time per charge which is PLENTY.The last picture is a friends 1/12th rig to show size difference.I'd buy this again in a heartbeat.
