GoolRC WLtoys A979-B RC Car 2.4G 1/18 Scale 4WD 70KM/h High Speed Electric RTR Monster Truck

this car is a lot of fun.was not too expensive and shipped pretty quick.but there are some negs as with all things.Pros,Vary fast.Decent construction.Simple to operate.Decent price.Comes with remote /chargerCons,Too fast to handle /controlVery easy to roll & tumble out of control.5 minute battery life.Small ,no ground clearence.Cannot go into grass, needs almost perfect pavement to drive on due to speed. Comes with one battery. Kids cannot really control it.I like this truck but it is not mine i bought it for my 10 year old foe getting another straight A report card & he haa a lil trouble with rolling & launching this thing bc it is speed. If it were a bigger vehicle i feel like it would be more controllable. I may return it for a 1:10 scale vehicle for my boy.

Very fast and good rc has small issues with rear shock comes undone after a flip or 2 lol other thhen that love a free couple spring upgardes would be awsome but i love the car and company ..

I've always loved all my WLToys, but the older models such as this and the a959b aren't as durable as the newer ones. Sure, if you're careful with them, you probably won't end up breaking anything for a long time, but if you really want to have fun at a skatepark or a bmx track, it's going to break at some point while you're there. I'll admit, it holds up well, but it still breaks a frequently. And it's not just when you're bashing it hard. Sometimes when I would just be driving it down the road, it would flip over and a sometimes it would break. Overall, you need to consider that the price is under $100, so it really is a great car, and very good for beginners. If you're afraid that this RC is too fast for you to start out (it goes 40+ mph) then you can go for the slower option (the a959) which is cheaper and in my opinion even better. Overall an awesome RC!

Immediately out of the box, I was stoked. I plugged my battery in and waited patiently as it charged. I checked on the light of the charger to see when it finished charging.Then it finished up gobbling up its charge, I hopped at the opportunity to run the lil bugger. Which I obliged. I plugged the battery in, turned on the transmitter. Flicked the switch to the "ON" position on the strange receiver/esc combo. It flickered to life. Flicked it's wheels to center and I spun up the wheels and it screamed to life! I was excited and pumped to go take it out and get a start on my rc experience.I get outside, and set it out on the pavement and take a couple of throttle checks later and I was off. This thing ripped! Zoom! Flip! Spin! ZOOOOOOOMMMM THen nothing. Esc flashing a red light really fast and wasn't responding to the transmitter. So for now and until next week (I got this thing January 11th 2024 and it died the same day) when I get paid to sit here and order all the right parts after I went and spent $92 at the RC shop on a decent transmitter and an esc. Now I'm going to go have to spend around another ~$70 for the rest of the parts so it can now handle its newfound power.End all, be all. It's good if you're ready to mod a car that has ample selection of parts and pieces to choose from, and great moddablity. You can put whatever regular sized 540 motor on it you want, you can switch to a better transmitter and esc for better reliability, and a servo since the friggin one in the car is a stupid 5 pin. Which won't work on any low to high ranger transmitter and receiver without some sort of witchcraft, and there is a plethora of parts from the motor mount all the way to the the shock caps. It's not hard or expensive to fix if you needed to (unless it's my case of a shoddy esc then be prepared for extra costs). And if you got lucky and yours works perfectly still to this day, keep running it and having fun. Otherwise if you're unsure or set on a different basher rc. Look away, spend the extra $40-$60 and get something like the FMS RC Colorado or something along those lines.Otherwise this car is super easy to mod if you have some experience in electronics or rc. Just make sure to check what parts you need and the sizes of everything because the chassis doesn't bode much room for activities.This experience was bittersweet but still left a poor taste in my mouth for wltoys and a somewhat poor taste in my mouth from Amazon. That's why I gave it a one star rating.

Bought this as a gift. He loves it. It’s a very durable remote control 4x4. Remote is very easy to use and he loves that you don’t have to be right behind it at all time. It has a very good range for the remote. Runs at fast speeds and goes very good over all terrains without fail. Runs over stuff good too :) . Shipping was fast and packaged very good. We will be buying from this company again!

Durability is pretty bad, drove it twice, broke it twice. Didn't even get through a full battery charge either time, maybe 8 mins of driving time so far. Only drove on my street, haven't really crashed or done anything to warrant the breaks either. Plastic body is cracked almost in half from a curb jump and landing upside down. Right rear hub assembly plastic broke clean off, in doing so losing a dog bone and a end piece that goes to it, again just from a small driveway curb jump. If your not planning on doing upgrades to this then don't buy it. It's fast, like 30 mph fast, but its mostly all plastic and cheap plastic at that. The alignment on this thing is down right awful and unless you replace it with the metal parts you can't fix it by adjusting the trim. One tire will always be facing left or right slightly as the other one is straight. Also the front wheels have a lot of play in them, again can be fixed via metal upgrades, but stock options on this are pretty bad. I planned on buying lots of upgrades for this and doing some modifications so overall these small issues outweigh the performance you get speed wise, but if keeping stock id probably look elsewhere. The driving distance on this is slightly disappointing at roughly 35-40 yards.Overall this is a fun hobby grade small rc built for the street or smooth surfaces, with some metal updates can be a even better rc. For the cost and time of upgrades and initial purchase price you can prob do better, but for me and I imagine others, doing upgrades and working on it is part of the fun.
