I also ordered on the 21st and it still says processing. I ordered a second truck from ebay and that says shipped but there's no tracking. It says Delivery by the 31st.
The plan is to keep one stock until it fails and convert the other to the temper electronics right away, just to see how that works.

WPL Truck
I ordered mine as well on the 20th. Thought they were in stock but not. Spoke with chat on Gear Best and they stated there still waiting for them, they keep changing the date on the WPL truck web page, not saying to cancel but I did, money refunded right away to PayPal.

Proof I have one.
I still have no evidence on whom to give credit to who sent this as it is NOT marked in any significant way but I guess with everyones commits on here it's not Gear Best... which doesn't surprise me. The promised shipping date was a little unbelievable at 5 to 6 days. You should read their customer feedback replies guys. A LOT of unhappy campers who said they got junk from them but you only seem to hear the bad and not good about a company.
I ordered the eBay truck on the 7th and from GB on the 22nd.
This is it sitting on a staging table with my other work in progress, just to show a buddy I had one.

In common with most British members of this Forum I ordered my Truck from---
HAYA UK LTD
with the assurance that it was a pre-order and that Haya was expecting the first container from China at the end of October 2017.

Got mine last Thursday from Banggood but wasn't quite as smashed as yours Rex! The outer box was mangled a bit but the Truck was O.K. Couple of little videos of us running it on our field on the weekend...

Still waiting on my two from Bang Good, but I'm in no hurry... I already have two Abrams on the project bench. I did order the 1/16 Trumpeter Maxxpro MRAP model to see about converting it to R/C with one of these. Goes along with the M-ATV MRAP I already have sitting waiting to be built.

I'll shoot some pics once I get my trucks... The wheelbase can be modified with shorter or longer shafts.

I seem to remember when I ordered from GB there was only the blue/gray color to choose from.

Can't wait to get mine and chop it up. May put the body on a 1/16 short course and mount this sucker on the Heng long chassis. Gary, are the leafs just to stiff or does the truck need more weight? In all the vids I've seen suspension looks tight.

When I first took this vehicle out of the box I only charged the battery for 10 minutes and ran it around. I thought the throttle trigger was a little spooky and hard to run at slow speeds. Since then I have charged the battery for 4 hours (sometimes I read the instructions) and tried it again --- much better/smoother control. I put a 5 lb. weight in the bed and the speed control was even better with a load in it. Also, it had no problem pulling the Bruder trailer with the E 10 on it, but that rig only weighs 2.5 lbs. and rolls very well as built. I'm really impressed with this little bargain beauty, and I am looking forward to the delivery of my second one --- which is painted in naval aviation blue because it is used by the ground crew at Blue Angels air shows.

I think it's pretty good, Bret. Just one main leaf with a couple fake leaves under it, but it seems to work well. It screws in at one end and the other floats free so it can compress. The truck comes with two extra springs.

Got a little more video on the truck. The more I look the more things I want to do to the thing, like tail lights, smoke from those exhaust stacks, and maybe a functioning winch on the front. I already see an ambulance and a tow truck, and possibly a tanker truck for fuel or water. I can see I'm gonna need more trucks.
