Default WPL B16 KIT 1/16 2.4G 6WD Crawler Off Road RC Car With Light

This will be my second build. First was a Tamiya M4 Sherman in 1975. I plan for it to be a Viet Nam era gun truck. I chose this one after reviewing many on line. This model has serious upgrades for roughly $350.xx on eBay. Don't have the funds for a high end truck. The only issue with these kits is they don't come with the controller, but 2nd generation controller and sound boards are available from $10.xx up, (China). For armament, I have found single and dual 30 & 50 cals. I also found a 106 recoilless rifle, which if I chose it will be mounted facing forward. I really want a mini gun or two, but haven't found them in 1/16 or 120mm scale. Figures are scarce also. More to come.

I wasn't too impressed with my wpl Bobbed Deuce cheapy kit, but like you said there are a ton of upgrades. Plus their later kits seem to be geting better.


Mr Bruder is 1/16 scale, the truck doesn't really seem to be...

What all electronics / mechanical are you planning to do with yours?

Got any pics of the M4?

Received my B-16 truck from Saudi Arabia. Fully assembled. Great on sidewalks and driveway. Not great off road. The trucks in the vids must have upgrades because mine won't perform off road like they do. Going to add some weight in the bed and see what happens. I have to give this some serious consideration before I put money in it for upgrades.

I have used one of these for various projects, many things can be changed, including metal axles
