ARRIS WPL D12 1/10 RC Kei Truck RWD with 260 Brushed Motor RTR

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. EDIT: After a few weeks of playing around and scooping out the electronics, this has become one of my all time favorites. A standard 2s 450 mAh "drone battery" squeezes nicely between the rear license plate and the back of the normal battery box. The battery is too long to fit inside the battery box without cutting the plastic. This thing really comes alive if you wire in a small 400Hz active buzzer to a free channel on your radio and mount it securely to the inside of the body... Though this is "1:10 scale", the car its modeled after is tiny, so this is more like a 1:16 scale car... but since it's so light, it's not unreasonable to use a 1:18 scale ESC for it. Which is what I'm doing. A decent little mini crawler AM32 ESC makes this low torque brushed motor shine even a bit brighter than it did with the factory ESC. You'll have to replace the electronics if you want to work around this car's only real weakness, which is the tiny transmitter with a very stiff steering wheel spring and overall very poor feel. Once command and control are handed over to a competent radio, the massive steering angle and broad range of throttle become much more enjoyable to utilize. I've run probably 20 packs through it and to my amazement, none of the gears have broke, nor has anything else in the drivetrain snapped or wore out. More durable than hobby shop RC cars 3x the price.

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.

Surprised it was fun and not slow. We wet the floor in the house and was drifting it.

Definitely not 1/10 scale, but seriously a great value. Hobby grade, decent aftermarket out there, drifts pretty great, controls are surprisingly precise.

I opened this here truck like it were Xmas mornin. Sure was an early gift for me because I’ve been eye ballin this truck. Such a beauty and she’s quick too. The remote got to small buttons there that toggle the turn radius for the tires and the speed. And then you got the little knob there that helps adjust any tire drift goin on, say it’s going slightly right when you’re just tryna drive straight then you twist the knob there to the left it she goes straight after that. The headlights do turn on but you can’t control that but it’s okay. Off road she drives alright Jusy don’t hit too many grass or large bumps or dirt hills. On pavement or concrete she do go fine but if you turn sharp then she’ll do a little topple over and you find yer self runnin to flip her back but hey that’s all part of the game. Anyways I’ve been rambling too long but see here this truck is worth your money just spend it and do yer self the favor and buy it. She can be modded as well there’s a whole community for it. Well worth my money that’s for sure.

Works as it should haven't had any issues with it, pretty easy to use , good quality

Absolutely LOVE! My boyfriend will NOT stop driving this thing around the house!! Drives FAST, spins and drifts GREAT. Holds a good amount of weight, so he can deliver me snacks and drinks. Also drives well on carpet. 10/10 would recommend! UPDATE: He had the bright idea to cover the rear wheels with scotch tape and we are now drifting all over the kitchen floor. Going three days strong over here. Help me.. lol

At first it seemed quite promising but alas it rendered to be unsatisfactory duo to the motor being insufficiently robust. On flat paved roads it performed marvelous but lacked power at initial engage of motor. This is a pickup truck although the load capacity was minuscule because of the suspension. So it could not be used for transportation of rocks or gravel. The battery lasted astoundingly long considering its low capacity. Plugging it the battery was not elementary due to it being underneath the rc car and the connector was small. In conclusion it is not suitable for transportation or driving thru dirt roads.

Excellent achat !

Front wheel broke off on the first day (I super-glued it), other than that, it's been super fun and battery surprisingly lasts very long.

it wasn't the 4WD variant? I got what was described and it's still quite fun, but this appears to be a D14 setup like the D12.

I bought the truck because I seen it on Tik Tok and thought it would be cool to zoom around the house and outside in the sun but the controller would not connect to the truck disappointed was really looking forward to using it sent it back I don't know if I can trust if I buy another one it will be the same way
