P.S. I also just found it for sale at Banggood -- same price.

I just bought one of those a couple weeks ago. Mine was about $5 more but that price is about what they've been going for, anywhere between 55 and $65. It's actually a pretty darn good truck and it has real proportional steering and throttle. I guess when I get home tonight I'll do a video so that all you guys can see what this new offering is all about. These little trucks are getting better and better everyday, and if they were to add sound to the Ural I can't think of anything else I would want to do to it except maybe add tail lights. And of course it needs a new paint job.

Check out all the negative reviews of this truck. I think I'll pass.

Crius

I like it, and don't have anything negative to say about it. I think it's a good little truck for the money and I'm glad I bought it.

I've bought 7 of these little toy trucks, in both 4x4 and 6x6 versions. They are fine for the money, not a bad deal. I've even remade two 4x4's into a working 6x6 and trailer. Lots of fun.

You need at least one Rex.

Crius

Here ya go, Rex, here's a closer look. I really like it and I think for the money they're really steppin' up on these things. I'll bet you could work wonders with one of these.

Take another look at the reviews associated with Rex's original post. There are commonalities among the
reviews within each ranking. I'm not doubting the validity of their comments but the number one single star complaint is broken parts
followed by failed controls Do either of these surprise anyone? As the review levels increase so does the apparent sophisitication
of the user involved. Arduino projects, basis for custom builds...the lowest reviews- target users were children as it is primarily a toy
truck. Unfortunately the thing is likely not really for children. I have 4 of the stake truck version and I ran 2 of them, one 4x2 and one 6x6
all over the place and nothing yet has broken or failed.

In this case I wouldn't really let the reviews influence your purchase. My only gripe is the late 1940's ZIS / Studebaker versions came out
after I purchased the more contemporary version. I saw just the bodies somewhere and I think I'll buy those to convert them into the more
interesting version. An Opel Blitz or CCKW would have been even better...Or I'll go out on a limb with a DUKW being just the Bee's Knees...

My only failure has been broken drive line parts while driving them outside when it was about 20 degrees. Plastic gets brittle when it is cold.

A CCKW... is possible using those trucks as a base . This is a 3d printed frame, cab, tires & wheels, and cargo bed, using the toy the automotive parts. Still some work to go, but it will be RC.

Nothing like a 7 year-old driving it full-bore into a kitchen table leg to test the quality of plastic. It's junk I tellsya, junk!

Some pretty contradictory reviews with some saying it's a kit to assemble, and one mentioning they got a non-proportional steering/throttle model. Is the Yikeshu truck the same as the WPL version sold over at Banggood?

Regardless, I'm pretty happy with my JJRC Q60 and this model looks even more sophisticated. I'm a cheapskate, but I realize that if you can't take a $50 hit every now and then, then RC is probably not the hobby for you.

The great thing about these trucks for me is that upgrading them is easy, and cheap! The stock plastic driveshafts are junk, but that is a $10 upgrade to metal.

I got my B36 Ural from Banggood several weeks ago. I am happy with it, nice detail and runs well. It just needs to be painted.

So you can buy them either way depending on how much extra you want to do with them!

Crius

They're available in both kit and RTR, and the quickest way to tell the difference is by the price. The ready to run trucks are $60 or more, while the kits will be $39.99 to $49.99.
