Arris WPL D12 - 1/10

desertcart.com: ARRIS WPL D12 1/10 RWD 2.4G Off Road RC Car Drift Climbing Truck Crawler with Brushed 260 Motor 1:10 Simulation RC Vehicles (White) : Toys & Games Review: Awesome value, decent components - This is the first RC car I've used at any price that has ZERO low speed motor/ESC whine. Very cool. Makes for a much more pleasant indoor "toy car" experience. Low speed control is also pretty good. Car rolls to a stop while coasting, and brakes whinelessly and quickly. A+ ESC. The geartrain is a bit noisy though. Push-button steering and throttle rate limits are well thought out, though there does seem to be some expo dialed in, and it can't be changed. Though it uses a single board receiver/ESC combo, like I said, the ESC is whine-free, and that is a huge bonus. The servo is a normal, standard sized three wire servo so could be replaced if needed. The included battery is very cheap, and the plug it uses is cumbersome to work with; I'll be replacing it with another solution, but this does work just fine. Scale details are great! Mirrors pop off upon impact and should hold up to a few re-attachments before breaking. Light buckets included, and the ESC/Rx combo has headers for lights. I don't know whether another transmitter could be used with this board... Effective suspension: makeshfit leafsprings in rear, and piano wire up front for makeshift torsion bar spring. Clever, realistic, but undampened. The front has more articulation, allowing the rear to unload weight from the inside wheel while corning, so cornering, even for a solid axle, is very good. If you load up the rear with weight, it will understeer more. For a little over fifty bones, this thing is a very good value, and a great addition to any collection. Review: Good truck for all ages - My boyfriend absolutely loves this truck! I got it for our anniversary and he plays with it every day. It is noisy but very fast and fun to play with. Battery lasts long.
