I give this Model 5 big stars, I am a huge fan of Willy's 41 to 45 Jeeps and have collected models of all sizes except the full size version but I will someday. They are worth huge money today. When I was a kid in the 60's they were Army surplus. I remember a surplus yard near my house when I was a kid and the yard had them running for 250 dollars! I begged my dad for one and he said "what are you going to do with it!" Anyway I have to say the level of detail of this model 1941 Willy's is incredible. The manual has nice line drawings and neat exploded views of all construction and parts assemblies. The amount of parts put together perfectly without flaw is impressive. Like the real counterpart it has full frame, accurate differentials with drive shafts, transfer case, transmission with skid plate! Multi leaf springs connected to axles with u bolts! Working suspension, steering rods and arms all accurately screwed together. The body is perfectly proportioned with the correct military tread tires, rubber, USA markings with bolted on spare. Body markings pad printed USA stars and look great. Cloth seats padded and tube frame, separate clutch, brake and accelerator pedals, steering wheel and assembly looks accurate. The stance ride height wheel position looks right compared to original photos of the 1/1 version. Working headlights and markers all look proportioned taillights accurate, separate tools and Jerry can all strapped on with a buckle! Wheel hubs accurately represented screws in proper locations. The great effort to build a quality model like this for the price in the hobby is rare! The model body and related heavy duty parts like bumpers step areas proportioned well and look great. Dashboard markings there and look correct. Detailed steering wheel and shift knobs are green but were black on the real jeep, of course some liberties were taken but overall an incredible value for such a detailed model of one of my favorite Jeeps! As far as remote control all looks great but my model is for display only. This is not a toy although every kid would love it and for the low price Rochobby has issued for this model it's ok to let little Jimmy run it around! The detail rivals Tamiya's 1/14 big rigs! My opinion anyway. It comes in a cool travel case that secures it well, looks like a military ammo box, Styrofoam but painted, with a rope handle! Jeep has some weight and suspension works like the real deal. Bolt detail and various plates and mountings represented, just an over and above attention to detail. Even has the 50 cal mounting hole with bolt location in the floor! Now we need a 1/12 Browning Rochobby! Finally when looking at the model at different angles it looks like the real Jeep, hobbyists and WW2 Jeep lovers will NOT be disappointed. Again I am not reviewing the R/C quality here but for the detail and quality of the Model is incredible. I am sure if the company went through the pains to build such a detailed model their R/C components are of the same quality. The pictures on Amazon are very accurate and my model is as pictured and better! Good job Rochobby! Read more

I echo most of the comments on the "Pros" side. It's very well designed and detailed. As far as the "Cons" goes, i'm not going to nit-pick. The only thing that I am uncomfortable with is what has already been stated about breakages and repair part availability or accessories. For the price of the unit, it's a shame that nothing is available. I tried to search rochobby.com as it is typed on their literature and packaging, but according to google chrome and microsoft edge, they don't exist. I also forgot to mention that the battery is advertised as a NiMH battery. Mine came with a LiPo battery. It may be trivial, but be careful and make sure that you use the correct charger for whichever battery you have/get. Read more

This thing is very detailed and pretty accurate It comes in a foam case made to look like wood with the battery and charger included It has a 2 speed transmission (3 speed if you use learn mode) Once you figure out the buttons and settings on the remote you can change which lights you want to use headlights/signal and brake Shifting hi and low gear etc. Quite an impressive bit of engineering for such a small toy It also has a surprising amount of torque for a little Jeep (just like the real ones ) Very pleased with the quality and fun factor Read more

The detail is incredible. There is one of the little plastic pieces that holds the windshield in place that snapped, but it looks like its only a $7 replacement. Bought it for my wife, and she loves it. I wish it were a bit heavier so it can crawl over a bit more, but believe me. This thing is a hoot. It crawls, and has a second gear that can zip around a bit faster. Comes ready to rock (crawl), and just a side note, that the 1:12 scale doesn't seem to have the trailer available yet. It does have the canopy cover however. (Wife already ordered it!) Read more

It has all of the bells and whistles of the real machine. Brings back a lot of fun memories. Read more

Great scale RC car. So capable right out of the box. If you take out some of the leaf springs it really helps with the articulation. The detail is like no other. 100% would recommend. NOTE - not easy to modify . best to just keep it stock. Read more

Love running it only disappointment is my high low range servo burned out not long after buying Read more

Does good if grass not tall and will traverse 45* incline if it's smoth to rough surface and not grassy . Read more
