Control hobbies is having a sale on PUBG-inspired RCs. Underneath the shells these are 1:12 crawlers with ball bearings, oil shocks, hex machine screws, and hobby grade electronics (Flysky ESC, Hobbywing transmitter). They match up with plenty of Tamiya body shells and accept wheels with a 12mm hex.

The "military vehicle" is 225mm, the "American Pick Up" is 242mm. Either can be altered with custom linkages.

These are made on the same platform as the CR12, MT12, and Thunder Tiger Kaiser. They're about the same size as what Tamiya calls "1:10".

If you need upgrades GPM has you covered: https://www.gpmparts.com/thunder-tiger-kaiser-xs-c-1532_4320_4321.html

Look for @Pintopowers Blackfoot build if you need inspiration for your own ideas. 

Updated with my own custom build. MN45 bodyshell, RC4wd wheels/Mickey Thompson Baja tires.

I dunno! I guess rally cars are more popular here?

A friend of mine just ordered two of these crawlers from that website and they arrived, it's legit. These are only different from the CR12 in that the diffs are open and the shocks are black.
