This 1/16 Ural 4320 of Heng Long appears on the web recently. I'm not sure how long it has been there or how the quality turns out to be but the price is rather cheap at around $50. Compared to the Cross Ural 1/10 at around $800, this one is dirt cheap!

Not long out there. It's brand new and is still available as a back order. Bang good is late with deliveries. I hope they are able to ship it in the coming week. I will have a kit eventually.

It's also available on Aliexpress with a little bit more expensive. I'm not sure how accuracy this model is or how good does it perform but if you have this truck going along with the T-55 or T-90, that would be nice!

Good morning,
There are tests of the stock as delivered truck up on YouTube already. It struggles to clear grass mounds among other unimpressive behavior. It looks great and with a better motor and the tweaking that you fellows have learned to give the WPL truck line, it will turn out to be a neat addition to their line.
regards,
Painless

I haven't seen detailed specs. Is the motor so week?
My order has been shipped.
It looks like the regular WPL upgrades will fit it right in. I just happen to have a set for 6 wheels.

Like all these budget trucks, if you know how to install cheap but reasonable quality electronics then for around double the price of the original truck you can build a reasonably good RC model. I believe this model is available in kit form without the components that would end up in the bin but with a conventional proportional servo so this is probably the way to go. You'll need to disassemble it anyway to respray it.

Be aware, though, that if you buy all the upgrade options available it will no longer be a budget priced truck! That said, the two speed motor/gearbox is a nice upgrade.

It cost me around $50 to $60 to make one of these trucks hobby grade, plus another $20 to $40 for sound, and that includes a genuine FlySky 3 Channel radio. I think that's very reasonable. To take a truck from Toy grade to hobby grade including sound for under $80 is pretty good, IMHO.

What did you upgrade for this truck? I'd like to acquire one of these trucks too. I'd like to know what are the specs out of the box and its suspension perform?

Budget for a receiver that's compatible with your transmitter (8), a small steering servo (2), a brush type esc (15), a sound system (16) and paint. Figure in () are in UK £ at Banggood. That's the min you should upgrade.

What works as sound systems in trucks? Any links anyone?
