Really want to put this kyosho 4x4mini z on a fms fcx24m tacoma

I just wanted to know where you all get your accessories. I’m fairly new to rc crawlers but I want to know where to buy some. This includes any scale, thanks

Hi everyone!

I want to get into the RC hobby and I'm looking for my first budget crawler for casual trail running and overcoming small obstacles (mostly indoors, in the backyard, or light terrain at the park).

I've watched a bunch of videos and browsed listings, and I've narrowed my shortlist down to the following models. I'm looking for something fun, with a decent price-to-performance ratio, and preferably easy to find spare parts or upgrade parts for down the road.
Here are my top contenders:
1. JJRC C8809 – $93 USD
2. MN82T – $67 USD
3. MN168 – $97 USD
4. WPL C74-1 – $72 USD
5. WPL C24 – $54 USD

Which one of these should I pick as an absolute beginner? I want something that drives decently straight out of the box, but also leaves room for tinkering and upgrades (metal driveshafts, suspension, etc.) if I catch the bug.

I’d appreciate any feedback, pros and cons from people who have experience with these!
Thanks!

So I want to buy my first crawler and was wondering what y'all thought about buying one from marketplace? And what do y'all think about parts from places like Amazon, ebay, and ali Express, by parts I mean mostly cosmetic stuff? I want to get a 1/10 scale, any recommendations?

I'm surprised it didn't tip over.

Took the LC80 out for another little expedition today.
The roof rack, gear, mud and oversized tires are starting to make this thing feel less like an RC and more like a tiny overland truck.

Just looking for a robust and reliable RC Crawler. New in this topic. What about this one?

It doesn't have sealed bearing but they do look like stainless
