17 |  | HBX 16889 Brushed | 1/16 | Essentially the same truck as the original brushless HBX 16889, but using a 390 brushed motor to hit a lower price point. | Brushed motor is not as efficient as brushless versions nor as quick in terms of top speed. | Good parts support due to factory HBX upgrades being readily available.

23 |  | MN99s | 1/12 | Inexpensive trail crawler that bridges the gap between toy and hobby grade with a great scale hard body and fully functional LED lights. The last iteration of the MN Land Rover Defender models based on the WPL inspired chassis. | Hard body is quite top heavy out of the box, which limits how steep an uphill or obstacle it can tackle. The 260 sized brushed motor is adequate, but is lacking in power. | Plenty of mods available and a large community behind these cars. Shares similar design and layout as the WPL crawler/trail trucks, which allows some parts to be used on this model with some modifications. | 2-Cell 1800mAh Lithium Ion | N/A | 2 | 30 min | 7 | One of the better inexpensive RTR trail trucks available in this scale with decent crawling ability and many available parts for tinkering | ||||||||||||||||
