I must say I have been looking forward to this release! Something really new from WPL: A 1/10 non-off-road vehicle with an amazing looking Suzuki Carry body look-alike. And so far I am not really disappointed. Looks great with the front LED's and feels great with the fully proportional control and the option for a very large turning radius.

Well, of course this isn't a high end RC Car. But parts supply looks good and I bet there will be tons of upgrade options coming in this fall. And as a Toyota and Suzuki fan I love these WPL models with their detailed hard bodies.

If I had one complaint it would be that with the hard tires and relatively high speed of this model, an open differential would have been nice for the on road experience. On the other hand I can see great potential (with some slicker tires) for a Suzuki Carry 2WD drift truck and I bet this one can do a little off road adventures too, where the non-diff/locked diff will come in handy. And without throttle when turning it actually does all right.

What do you think?
