Not in my case. She spent WAY more money than I do.

Ordered one yesterday. Will be interested to see what mods you guys do with it. I've been having some fun with these non-tank military vehicles and for that price I couldn't resist. Anyone ever done the 2 speed gearbox metal upgrade on one of these WPL rc units?

Mine arrived today a week after ordering. No duty charged ( the courier delivered it to the wrong address :/ , at first I thought i had been porch pirated). I think this is going to be a lot of fun. The aluminum tubes give it some heft over the rear wheels but it definitely needs them to be put down for roaring around as it makes the truck a bit top heavy in the fast turns although it never lifted it's tires. I put it next to my T-34 for scale. Only potential issue I can see is the plastic driveshafts will probably be best upgraded to the metal ones that are on AliExpress for less than $10

I got mine also, but been on vacation this week. Been trying to get projects finished around the house as I burn my use or lose days before the end of the year. I've toyed with the idea of putting a battle system in it. :)

The bang for the buck is incredible. My Torro 251 cost 5 times as much and it falls apart if I sneeze 6 feet from it
