Any experience with Banggood?

I wonder how long there will be parts support for the Crawlers they sell. Parts may take some time to get to you if they have to come in from offshore.
You need to be more specific - Banggood sells a LOT of different crawlers, and some have multiple sources for spares/upgrades, some do not have any...
Some are near clones of older well-known brands, and you can use parts from the original manufacturer.

In general, be very careful of what you buy off of Banggood.

Is there a reference or guide or something to the various clones out there?

If you buy anything from Banggood, buy three. This way you can be guarantee available parts and that they will get to you within a reasonable amount of time.
I'm not interested in the typical Banggood products, other than some of the WPL models - I have a D12 Suzuki Carry RWD truck for fun.
There is a HG clone of the Tamiya Bruiser, if you are a fan of that style of vehicle.
They carry TFL as well - but those are pricey.
I like to keep up with most of the crawlers that are out there - but if I'm not planning on buying certain models, I'm usually not researching them.
Banggood is not a model shop, it's a toy store, buy and forget, don't expect follow-up on spare parts except on a few flagship products, and even then, it doesn't last for years.
Beside that, the only issue with Banggood is lack of proper shipping packaging ...

look on yt for whatever model you want. one thing I can guarantee is that you need to replace evey screw since the heads will break. I had one that was bought for me. cheap plastic and hardware. I gave it to next door neighbor for his kids, it was pretty much dead by the time the bored of it. it was 1/10 and I think in the $70 range.
it is a toss-up for me. like was said buy 3 so you have parts.....but you probably won't use them because you will most likely try to fit good stuff into it.

Ordered the Killerbody branded Toyota LC70 body from Bangood last year. Long story short, after 6+ weeks and not receiving my goods, I initiated a claim with PayPal and got my $$$ back. If you order from them, I STRONGLY suggest you use PayPal, so you have recourse if goods never arrive.
CAVEAT EMPTOR as they say.....
