Very nice video, Mikael. The truck looks so cool at the beautiful harbour - you sure gave it a hard time on those rocks! Great looking truck, and so far so good - no fires!!! (haha - reference to another 6x6 video!) Glad you showed us this one mate! :))
Thanks, Mark. I had fun making this video. I love the looks of these little trucks and they are fun to run. I'll leave the upgrading, paint jobs and weathering to other channels though. MY Tamiyas come first :-) Ohh, fire?
Nice video. I grew up in China and the Chinese in the 50's and 60's had been licensed to produce this truck under an agreement with the Soviet factory. In fact this was THE truck in my childhood years. I just ordered a dark green version and was wondering how realistically it will run. This is by far the best video of this toy. I plan to up grade but I have a much better idea how it will perform out of the box now thanks to you.
Very happy to hear all the video work was useful :-) Nice, didn't know it was produced in China as well. Hope you will be happy with yours. And yeah, could definitely need some upgrades, especially in terms of a servo. Thanks a lot for watching, mate :-)
hi , i got one of these for my kid, and i think there is some issue with the battery/charger. The light on the charger starts fading after i plug the battery in , and it completely goes off after 30 minutes. The charger is warm for the 3 hours that i leave it charging , but the battery doesn't seem to hold a 100% charge, the play time is only 5-10 minutes. Is that the normal behavior for the battery for you truck also?
Hi! Ohh, no, I haven't had a similar problem, but I have also only had it for a couple of runs/charge cycles. I can't remember right now what the charger lights are supposed to do, but this one definitely runs more than 10 minutes for me, for the couple of runs I've had with it. Sometimes a new battery, especially the Ni-Cads needs a little more charging the first couple of times. Best thing is to measure the volts on the battery after charging to check if they are fully charged.
Yeah, I’ve seen both some cool paint jobs and upgrade projects of these small trucks. One could even make some cool little crawlers out of them with some shocks, as you say and some new electronics. Thanks for watching!
Yeah, would be fun. I think the leaf springs would be a problem for challenging crawling, but with upgraded electronics and some paint/weathering it could be a real cool realistic scale truck/runner. Thanks for watching, my good friend.
Nordic RC Visions I agree with a little effort and proper running gear and suspension be a sweet truck..Maybe over the long winter after the Tamiya projects get wrapped up.. lol Well hope you have a great weekend my good friend!! I'm off to do some painting on the Blackfoot and do the MIP Super Diff conversion and add a mild 3000kv/45amp brushless system to it!! Oh I scored a Tamiya Astute off of EBay last week got it for a less then the cost for a Gool brushless system 😊 Just needs tires and a cleaning and a new body later on to be mint!!
Using these Ni-Cads always brings me back to childhood in the 70s/80s ha ha. Cool choice for young children though. Quite safe and quite hard to ruin :-)
I remember I was quite surprised about the NiCad when seeing the WPL B-1 for the first time, but ever since, all these little trucks have had a Ni-Cad. Must be cheaper to make. I'm not sure why.
Hi James. Yeah, mine too! I didn’t notice any speed differences no matter how much I pressed that button. It’s in the video at the end. Sorry, I have no suggestions.
A shame they didn’t make both the throttle and steering proportional. But still an amazing looking body, and the electronics can be upgraded. I like the new ones from both WPL and JJRC with proportional control out-of-the-box better though.
Lol Nice truck for the money. Unfortunately I would go down the modification rabbit hole. I have several RCs on the bench now! Got my Emaxx out for a couple runs, heck of a truck! Got it used and never did much with it until now.
Nordic RC Visions it is sweet! This one was upgrade by original owner. Seems to have GH shocks and a Novak motor and esc. Super balance, responsive as can be in jumps.
no way that is straight out the box. got mince and it can barleyclimb a dvd cover. really needs a 20 a esc and the upgraded motor+ upgraded suspension. and that looks like you already plugged in a porportional steering and throttle. its a good truck for the money but really needs sum upgrades to it
Got mine 3 days ago.. runs nothing like this vid. Mine bogs down in grass and noway could do the rocks like in this vid. Some thing not right? Other vids also not like this vid unless MODDED.
Nope, trust me (or don't), this one is all stock. In the videos I've seen the truck performs very similar. Like this from Tomley: th-cam.com/video/iL9ipZwnruE/w-d-xo.html ... You will have some trouble in fine dirt and some trouble climbing because of the differential. Runs fine when there is grip, like on the rocks in this video (as you can clearly see, the rocks in the video is on a road, with pavement and rocks, not just loose rocks). It's not really a crawler or a climber, but performs quite well on flat ground.
Shame you slowed the video to replicate a better realistic speed....it only has 2 speed settings..full or off....and 2 steering settings..full or nothing. If you could change the board and transmitter to have variable speed and steering and did some weathering it would be much better...as is..its a toy.
Yeah, nearly all these 1/16 4WD Military Trucks come with this steering. And most people change them to a servo. So what do you mean with "isn't so hard what video seems"?

That is a great 6X6 for the money Mikael. Lots of detail and metal bits to boot. Great video as usual. Big thumbs up and hope you have a nice weekend.
Yeah, these ones are fun small toys. Thanks, Rob, and have a great one as well.
Nice truck y liked the tecnólogy used in this truck and good suspension good video.😎👍
Thanks for watching and commenting, Marcos. Yes, it's a fun little 6x6!
This was helpful, thank you very much.👍👍👍
Thanks for watching, bro!
Very nice video, Mikael. The truck looks so cool at the beautiful harbour - you sure gave it a hard time on those rocks! Great looking truck, and so far so good - no fires!!! (haha - reference to another 6x6 video!) Glad you showed us this one mate! :))

Don't blame you Mikael - too many Tamiya's and too little time! And Yeah - the "fire" was on Charlie's B-16!!!
Ahh yeah, I remember! I thought you meant the JJRC Q60, but I see now that you wrote 6x6 :-)
The music, the truck, the review everything is well done. Good job as always.👍 😎
Thanks, my friend! Spend a lot of time editing this one. Thanks for the kind feedback!
Was a pice of trash
Seems like the 6x6 is the new hot item, ever since rc sparks built one they have been hot 👍😎
Yeah, a lot of cool trucks on RCSparks. A different price range than these little ones though :-) Thanks for watching and the support, Steve.
Nice truck, great vid as always bro
Thank you very much for the kind feedback F.i.M.S. Presents RC!
A life time of testing in one run :-)
He he, I doubt this one would last a life time :-)
I AM HERE AGAIN! Awesome truck for $30
Br1aNn8 Thanks for the support, Brian!
Mine was $42 ._.
👍nice review.
Thanks, Steve!
Nice unboxing Mikael. The truck looks sweet. A 1/12 CrossRC version would be sweet! Cool video :)
Thanks, Charlie. Yeah, sweet little truck. A CrossRC version would be cool, it would probably be 10 times cooler but also 10 times the price :-)
20 times the price....

Pukka little truck that mate, nice review
Cute truck yeah 😃 Thanks, bro!
NICE
Thanks for watching, mate!
Nice looks realistic
Yeah, keep getting impressed by the scale model bodies of all these 1/16 trucks. For the money, they are very realistic and well made!
Nice 6x6 Military Truck unboxing and test video👍👍👍
RC Play Ground Thanks RC Play Ground!
How would you recommend making it closer to scale speed?
I know WPL got some reduction gear boxes but not sure if it is a direct fit to these
hi , i got one of these for my kid, and i think there is some issue with the battery/charger.

Could be a fun project, def needs some dampers.
Yeah, I’ve seen both some cool paint jobs and upgrade projects of these small trucks. One could even make some cool little crawlers out of them with some shocks, as you say and some new electronics. Thanks for watching!
Cool little rig Mikael! Could be a sick little crawler with the 6x6 setup?
Yeah, would be fun. I think the leaf springs would be a problem for challenging crawling, but with upgraded electronics and some paint/weathering it could be a real cool realistic scale truck/runner. Thanks for watching, my good friend.

Oh I scored a Tamiya Astute off of EBay last week got it for a less then the cost for a Gool brushless system 😊 Just needs tires and a cleaning and a new body later on to be mint!!
Nicd battery!
Using these Ni-Cads always brings me back to childhood in the 70s/80s ha ha. Cool choice for young children though. Quite safe and quite hard to ruin :-)
I thought it would come with nimh or lipo battery.
I remember I was quite surprised about the NiCad when seeing the WPL B-1 for the first time, but ever since, all these little trucks have had a Ni-Cad. Must be cheaper to make. I'm not sure why.
I want a lipo! haha
How long does the battery last
Mine is amazing
It is really tough only mishap is my bumper broke
But on banggood they sell metal bumpers
Yeah, for the price it’s such a cool little one. Thanks a lot for watching, Alex.
Hi I just got one of these and cant seem to figure out the speed control. Any suggestions?? No matter what I do it still travels at high speed.
Hi James. Yeah, mine too! I didn’t notice any speed differences no matter how much I pressed that button. It’s in the video at the end. Sorry, I have no suggestions.
Well I'll let you know if I find a solution
That would be awesome! I will post it here too if I find out something.
My speed control is really obvious it may just be a defect in some
Are the decals hard to get off of it?
Not sure they are decals/stickers if I remember correctly. Some kind of print.
👍👍
Thanks, Isaac!
I know the steering is not proportional, just a shame they did make the throttle proportional if nothing else.
A shame they didn’t make both the throttle and steering proportional. But still an amazing looking body, and the electronics can be upgraded. I like the new ones from both WPL and JJRC with proportional control out-of-the-box better though.
No snow! Yahoo.
Hi Tony. No snow :-) Soon, soon, spring time again :-)
Lol
Nice truck for the money. Unfortunately I would go down the modification rabbit hole.
I have several RCs on the bench now! Got my Emaxx out for a couple runs, heck of a truck! Got it used and never did much with it until now.
Would love to try out an E-Maxx one day too. Such an RC legend.
Nordic RC Visions it is sweet! This one was upgrade by original owner. Seems to have GH shocks and a Novak motor and esc. Super balance, responsive as can be in jumps.
no way that is straight out the box. got mince and it can barleyclimb a dvd cover. really needs a 20 a esc and the upgraded motor+ upgraded suspension.
and that looks like you already plugged in a porportional steering and throttle. its a good truck for the money but really needs sum upgrades to it
Yes, this is straight out of the box.
I wanna haul a henglong tank
Sounds like fun 🙂

speed no really ! ☺
No not much speed, but not really made for speed either ☺️ Cool looking toy definitly. Thanks for watching, David.
Shame you slowed the video to replicate a better realistic speed....it only has 2 speed settings..full or off....and 2 steering settings..full or nothing.
If you could change the board and transmitter to have variable speed and steering and did some weathering it would be much better...as is..its a toy.
So poor steering...on/off /one direction...i think that toy isn´t so hard what video seems
Yeah, nearly all these 1/16 4WD Military Trucks come with this steering. And most people change them to a servo. So what do you mean with "isn't so hard what video seems"?
Was a piece of crap suspension was bad and it is only about speed
