WL toys Goolsky Wltoys A959-B 2.4G 1/18 Scale 4WD 70km/H High Speed Electric RTR Off-Road Buggy RC Car (OBY0897050705015JG)

You will not find a better deal for a mini hobby-grade RC car. This car is FAST, almost too fast, you'll definitely want to use it outside unless you just want to do donuts on hardwood floors. It tears through grass like a 10th scale (because it has the same size motor as most 10th scales!). It's durable as well, I did eventually break the front steering knuckle where it connects to the a-arm but it was a cheap and easy fix with a set of upgraded metal parts. I have 10th scale Aarma and ECX monster trucks and buggies and this is my new favorite.As always with these minis my only complaint is the combined ESC/Receiver. Would be much easier to upgrade if they didn't do that... I also think they should have given it a brushless motor and charged another $15 for it just to save me the time... other than that they did everything right: LiPo, 2.4ghz, metal drivetrain... can't ask for more at this price really.

It's quick... Not the quickest, but very quick... Its also very light and has more than enough power to be sent flying off jumps without being broken too easily on landing. It gets a little hard to control at high speed and the tires are horrible on pavement, but you seriously can't beat the bang for the buck with this car. I bought this after being similarly impressed with the wltoys 144001 I own as well... For a cheap company, the quality is amazing. These are far beyond the toy grade stuff and have a huge amount of upgrades available.

Seemed fun at first. Very fast and fun to drive. But the one day my son turned it on, places on the floor and it took off full speed on its own. The controller wasnt even in yet, nor in his hand. The car hit a wall at full speed. The resulting carnage was that the front end completely separate from the rest of the car with dangly bits and pieces everywhere. We had bought insurance for it since it was cheap. The insurance company insisted we do a return since it was within 30 days of purchase. We tried contacting the seller but they were unresponsive. Fortunately Amazon came through for us and issued a refund. Buy at your own risk.

Ok, here's my 5 minute review, because that's all the time it lasted for me. Ha!I'll start by saying that I grew up racing RC10's when I was kid but its been a long time since I've had a car. I actually bought this to use the parts for another project but figured I'd have little fun before I stripped it down.The good:It's very fast especially for a 1:18th scale. That 540 motor with the smaller 1:18 wheels was a big reason why I chose this one and the reason that it's got so much jump. At full speed you can rip a turn and it'll flip over multiple times and keep going. The 4wd definitely gives it a good boost on take off. No slipping/ spinning- it just goes!The bad:Pretty much the same as the good. It's very quick and if you're a new driver (or it's a been a while) it takes some time to get used to controlling it with some finesse. Other bad- the steering linkages were a little short causing the front wheels to be slightly toe'd out. On a high end car these would be adjustable but at this price level they're just plastic and a fixed length. The car has so much torque for its size that it doesn't really affect the performance. Technically you'd wear out the tires in an odd pattern but I doubt that really matters on this thing. Also, one of the front shocks was leaking oil straight out of the box before usage so that's not good. The combination of the cheaper plastic build and oodles of torque becomes a bit of a recipe for broken parts if you hit something hard like, say, a curb.Summary:It's a fun little car. And its fast. I personally wouldn't give it to a young child as a first car because of the high speed and challenge to control that. If you do, make sure they start in a very wide open space with no obstacles because I'm sure they'd be upset if they killed it 5 minutes after getting it like I did. I'd also steer clear of it- without a soft bumper, if this thing hits your ankle at full speed, its going to hurt. I'm not sure how easy it is to order replacement parts because the steering arm that I broke isn't a part I'll need to build the cable cam that I'm using this for. Hopefully for others its not hard to get parts.I'm giving it 4 stars (3.5) because of the steering linkages and the leaking shock. Neither had to do with me crashing it.

Insanely fast rc car. Disclaimer you need to an expert in hobby grade rc cars. I Dont recommend for people less than 13. It did break after like 6 months(cracked chassis)but I dont blame it. Its easy to find spare parts. But you need to know how to fix it. Overall it is the best money can buy.

Well the car is definitely fast but a few rolls from turning it too quick and now the gearing and axles seem to be seizing up. Manual says spare parts can be purchased at wltoys. EU but most of the Parks have been discontinued and you can't buy them. So their spare part offer is of no use at all. Overall I would not recommend go with something much more durable

It isnt ideal for kids under 15 or so. its kind of a pain to take the battery out and put it in and turn on the car and controller. It takes sometime. Also its best to learn to drive this in a very very very big lot because its off the line speed is hard to control. I flipped the car constantly the first 10 min i was controlling it. Seems pretty durable so far!!

It is awesome and super fast!! My second rc ever and I could barely control it let my nephew play with for 20min he jammed on the curb and broke the plastic shock tower! 😲 🤣 but it was fun to play with!
