WPL makes a Unimog? I'm not finding it. Regardless... FMS RC's are WAY WAY WAY better than WPL. WPL stuff is just slightly above some of the Walmart toy grade. Some Walmart toy grade stuff is actually better.

FMS will be better than WPL. That’s the story I see every-time with this WPL stuff.

WPL has the D12. But that's not a Unimog. If WPL had one, they would have it on their website. If you found one on Amazon claiming to be WPL, it's not.it’s easy to find on Amazon, Type in RC Unimog, you should be able to find it,

I would still vote for FMS over WPL.

Yup. Get the FMS. Not only is it a rrally nice hobby grade RC, but there are tons of really nice upgrades for them. The upgrades for the WPL stuff will often times be cheap garbage, and you'll struggle with every part you put on them. I have 5 WPL's, so I'm not just talking crap. They're cheap, toy grade garbage. If you want that body that comes on the WPL, buy just the body off WPL's website and put it on an FMS chassis

If you're going to buy the WPL C34, look for the "KM" kit version since it has almost all of the upgrades out of the box. Just keep in mind that for only a little bit more you can buy an Ascent18 and an Injora shell that looks vaguely like a modified FJ.
