The main thing with the JJRC trucks is the chassis, there are loads of options of what you can put on it...

Supplier of RC capable model kits 1/16
Start cheap, have a play, the grand hauler is good, it’s a different scale to the tanks and expensive.. plus you can’t really go off road with it. I’ve seen the jjrc trucks get submerged in lakes & drive out...

That GMC and Dodge are amazing. If I wasn’t selling stuff I would love one of the GMC.

Good news. I listend to all of you and start with a cheap model. 
I ordered my JJRC Q64 on Alixexpress and it will be arrive within next 2 weeks. Another question: What would u recommend me for painting the truck? By hand or by airbrush. What colors shall I use? Any recommends for me? I would prever german tank colors.
Best regards, Sascha

Re: Supplier of RC capable model kits 1/16
Yes. That truck is nice and really cheap. But I can't find any upgrade kits for that truck.
Upgrade kit? You buy parts and design your own upgrades. Not only are you then unconstrained in what you can do but purchases are cheap as chips! Most of the upgrade sets you would have seen for the cheap 1/16 trucks are little more than metal versions of the plastic parts so heavier but not much better.
As for the two Tamiya trucks you mentioned, they are both in one of my earlier photos. My GL has an extended chassis, self modified with aluminium parts cut and bent by my local aluminium supplier to my design, both have low rev/hi torque motors coupled to custom built 6 speed boxes with custom two part prop shafts etc etc. Nothing on them is kit standard. If you want to off road one, simply look to custom build your own suspension, drives, hubs etc using spare parts from 1/10 buggy models and chunky scale tyres.
Anything is possible.

You can get most German tank colours in aerosol rattle cans, check eBay.
Take a lot of notice of Will’s advice, he has a lot of these trucks, he does 3D printed upgrades for larger dual motors, they are highly recommended

Re: Supplier of RC capable model kits 1/16
Yur have right. I cancelled my order and ordered the WPL B36 Ural truck for my first project. There are a lot of parts available and it has many space for customizing. But now no further changes on my order.
