I checked them out and looks like a fun truck to drive, I hope it works out for you. I honestly don't know anything about them.

Thanks, I am actually more into crawlers but I have a couple of bashers I keep in the camper when we go out.

Hey there. WL’s are a pretty good starter vehicle. The cost isn’t bad and they do qualify as a hobby scale RC. I have an A959 buggy and I love it. I also have 9 other larger and more expensive RC’s but I wanted to get a WL as soon as I started seeing them on YouTubes. The charger died on mine but that’s no big deal. You might want to consider getting a couple of extra batteries. You can probably get two for around $20 on Amazon. Have fun!

The parts are pretty inexpensive. I have an A959 that’s half way upgraded. All aluminum steering linkage,blocks,casters,driveshafts, and shocks. Right now I’m waiting on a couple of shock towers that have been on order for THREE AND A HALF WEEKS. Some parts you can get quicker. I also purchased three extra batteries with more MaH. After all is said and done I now have a $200 car. They are very fun though.
