*NOTE: only the WL Toys 144010 and HSP-94186 are readily avilable rignt now*

The [WL Toys 144010](https://amzn.to/3yCVyBI) is probably the easiest car to get right now. It has a brushless motor, which makes it fast, but takes some getting used to for beginners. There are brushed motor versions of theis car the 144011 and 144001 but both require the user to replace both the steering servo and ESC. Only do this if you are familiar with RC or enjoy tinkering. [Here is a short video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LKDjoTKlaE) explaining how to assemble the car. You can find the adapters in [Thingiverse](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2566276) and print them yourself or go to a 3rd party printing service.

The alterate car, which often has slighly less availability is the HSP 94186 and the "Exceed" brand cars. There are 5 supported cars, all are very similar and should be considered equivalent. Note, often some of these are out of stock, so go through the links to find one that is in stock. If they are out of stock on Amazon, you can find the cars at the [Exceed Website](https://www.nitrorcx.com/1rcelca.html). The HSP-94186 is identical to the Exceed Magnet 1/16 Truck; it can be found on AliExpress but takes about a month to get to the US, there are local options that charge a premium.
