Weird clicking noise

Hi guys,
I just joined the MN82 club with the MN82T. I received it about an hour ago and I'm already experiencing some issues. The steering rack moves by itself when I apply the throttle, and it's accompanied by a clicking noise coming from what I believe is the center of the car. Besides that, one of the wheels is so wobbly that it affects the driving. Should I return it, or is there an easy way to fix this?

Budget RC crawler for a beginner – help me choose between: JJRC C8809, MN82T, MN168, WPL C74-1, or WPL C24?

Hi everyone!

I want to get into the RC hobby and I'm looking for my first budget crawler for casual trail running and overcoming small obstacles (mostly indoors, in the backyard, or light terrain at the park).

I've watched a bunch of videos and browsed listings, and I've narrowed my shortlist down to the following models. I'm looking for something fun, with a decent price-to-performance ratio, and preferably easy to find spare parts or upgrade parts for down the road.
Here are my top contenders:

  1. JJRC C8809 – $93 USD
  2. MN82T – $67 USD
  3. MN168 – $97 USD
  4. WPL C74-1 – $72 USD
  5. WPL C24 – $54 USD

Which one of these should I pick as an absolute beginner? I want something that drives decently straight out of the box, but also leaves room for tinkering and upgrades (metal driveshafts, suspension, etc.) if I catch the bug.

I’d appreciate any feedback, pros and cons from people who have experience with these!
Thanks!
