Classic Bugs

Just in case, better send it to me and I'll take care of it for you... long term.

I appreciate the offer, but its hibernating in a very safe area, adjacent to many protective firearms and sharp metal weapons!

Bro, I would so get one... If it wasn't a WPL. I had a C24-1 and it was a piece of crap. Gave it to my little brother. Please let us know what you think of it when it gets there.

I know this isn't hobby grade, but, according to the online reviews, it's also not bottom tier toy grade either. I'm not a basher, and I'm fairly gentle with my toys. But, worst case scenario, it becomes a shelf queen.
BTW, I've had this WPL for a few years now. Never had any issues with it, and it's still running fine.

Trust me. Once the bushings go out, if you don't replace 'em, the truck starts to fall apart. Literally.

Like I said, I've had it for a few years now, and most importantly, I'm not hard on my toys. At around $70, it's not a big let down for me if it craps out to the point its not worth repairing. Same goes for the bug.

Oh how fortunate! I'll watch the WHOLE pile for you!

So I guess the question is... Can you replace the bushings with bearings and make it last forever?

Well, I thought my bug was going to be coming from a US warehouse, but tracking today says China
Oh well, hopefully, it'll only be a few weeks.

Tracking says it's now in my home state of NH. 11 days from China....pretty darn good!

As I've told DavidB1126, I'm a greedy toy hoarder.

But I can help turn that 1 into like 3 or 5 minis.

Exactly!

Tracking says it's waiting on USPS to pick up my package. It's about 4 towns over(less than 30 miles), so let's see how many days it takes for USPS to get it to my door.

At least they know where yours is

Well, according to the tracking, USPS hasn't picked it up yet, so there's still plenty of opportunities for them to lose/blunder it!

That sounds right actually.
It took me about 11 days to drive from here to China in my Bug too.

I wonder how long it will take to process and get to you now...

Looks like a fun bit of kit!

I kid and all, but I gotta say my local USPS is very reliable compared to other regions across the US, according to complaints I read on forums and such.

Locally ours is fine, it’s no issue once/if it makes it to our post office. But if it has to come through shreveport or Little Rock centers, who knows where it will go from there .

Oh and after posting that tracking earlier, it updated and it’s out for delivery today
