I've had the remote control jeep made by best choice products for about 2 years, and bought this one as an upgrade. I'll say the bronco body is definitely cooler, but the BCP jeep came with better drivetrain. The bronco is 6v, slower, and one rear motor, whereas the jeep is 12V and has one motor on each rear wheel. The bronco also has no suspension, I just cut the spindle tube down and put a compression spring (from Home Depot, cut the coils down to 11 total to allow compression) under the front spindle to give about a 1' flex per each front wheel so the one traction wheel on the back can still pull if there is a slight grade. With the stock setup, a driveway drain crossing can get it spinning. I haven't figured out just yet how to do springs on the rear, as it isn't a trailing/swing arm system like the jeep is. I do plan to convert to 12v and get another wheel/motor for the back, so it can have more capability. I ran a dual battery setup on the jeep to make it last longer, I will probably do the same to this one if I can convert to 12v easily. Currently waiting on a new decal pack so I can paint it to match my bronco as well!
