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.

Fun to play with. The suspension did break the second day, but the company replaced it

I had buyers regret while waiting for it to arrive. I thought I was gonna use it for ten minutes and be bored with it. However, THIS THING IS AWESOME! It was hard to find something with in reason it wouldn’t climb up. Awesome throttle control, and actual steering. Not just on off left or right. The battery lasted a bit over an hour, and took about another 30 minutes for it to charge to get out and play again. Great starter rig to get into the rock crawling rc hobby.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

This is a good RC Crawler to pick up to help gauge interest in the hobby before going in on a more higher end hobby grade crawler. It was easy and fun to put together. The headlights are cool and decently bright. Some stickers were left over as theres no instructions for where any go but they dont seem to make sense or fit anywhere. Will update if it dies within a few months of use.

Purchased this little unit as I read many reviews and overall sounded like a good entry RC for husband/daughter. After waiting for the charge to be completed, the anticipation was crazy and there was nothing. The motor was continuously running but no movement from the truck. Sounded like something was stripped and causing the drive train to not work at all. And there is no contact to the seller. Currently trying to return it as we didn’t get to play with it at all but it’s been a headache. I do not recommend.

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.
