Amazon DIY Parts for WPL 1/16 truck

[rcflyrj]

Came across this offering in Amazon the other day and wondering if anyone has tried it and what their experience was?

I purchased this truck and admire the detailed body, but the electronics and mechanicals are a joke. Mine won't drive an inch without binding.

Thanks, John

I have one of their kits, it’s a joke as well and now in my random RC box. Lol. I bought used a hobbywing esc off ebay $25. I personally would advise not investing money in one..

This truck in the metal kit version is well worth the the money, the RTR's are complete garbage. Any decent small ESC with a drag brake with the proper size metal gear servo will work great for these. Totally bypass getting the RTR version. I got my metal kit version for $65. There is a ton of useful info on all of the WPL's on YouTube.

Finally got the truck to run, by switching to a 2 cell 500 lipo. Runs great forward and reverse. Now to install an esc and Spektrum rx and a decent steering servo. Then I'll consider the upgrade kit...
