What if someone's willing to get one at the $37 sale price and ship it to Canada? Not sure if it would be worth it, as I have no clue how much shipping would be to our friends to the north...? I've never shipped anything internationally.Coelacanth wrote: ↑Thu Oct 21, 2021 4:53 pm I'd take advantage of that if I was in USA. Here in Canada, Walmart sells that buggy for much more, $153 CAD:

The deal is over, unless someone wants to give one up anyway

Re: WLToys 144001 at Walmart for $37! (back on sale!)
Unfortunately with the USD-to-CAD exchange and outrageous shipping costs from US to Canada, it would probably end up not saving us much from the $153 price from Walmart Canada. It's almost guaranteed to be a lot cheaper on AliExpress. I'm lucky I got mine along with a bunch of motors, batteries and electronics for $80 plus shipping from a seller on eBay. A second one for parts would be nice, but I'm sure you'll see these popping up all over eBay pretty soon.R6cowboy wrote: ↑Thu Oct 21, 2021 9:07 pmWhat if someone's willing to get one at the $37 sale price and ship it to Canada?

Re: WLToys 144001 at Walmart for $37! (back on sale!)
Your thread was actually what put them on my radar. Until then, I had written them off as toy grade.
I knew that people were talking about them but never gave it any more thought.

Re: WLToys 144001 at Walmart for $37! (back on sale!)
WLtoys have been around for quite a while , over 10 years at least , to the best of my knowledge they started by cloning micro RC helicopters , thing was the clones they made were more robust than the originals , the V911 was an entry level fixed pitch flybar micro Heli that was the trainer Heli for a generation , then they clones another CP Heli and called it the V977 , again more robust and cheaper than the original it became the CP trainer of its day , after that they started making their own stuff and the quality went up again ! Their micro Heli's are still very good , when they moved to cars they used the same model by cloning the Vatarra Twin Hammers , they made a virtually perfect clone with the exception of the electronics , they are fixed on a combo RX/ESC and 5 wire servo's across the range but otherwise the plastics are very good , certainly way better quality than the price suggests. After that they moved on to designing their own stuff , I've got one of their 1/18th cars the V959b , it's bonkers ! It's 1/18th with a 540 motor !
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.

Their own design the V977 was way better as a Micro CP trainer , super robust and another company even started using the airframe under licence with a better electronics package !

It's 1/18th with a 540 motor ! parts support is not dismal either with most parts on eBay or Banggood , there are usually tons of bling after market CNC parts for their cars as they are pretty popular bashers .
