Here are some tips for this truck: the truck is hard to drive, but you shouldn't brake so hard, that is what makes it flip like that. Also you should gradually accelerate to get top speed. Have fun!
Crazy little truck :-)
Just update the shocks to ones that hold oil and the bushings to bearings and it rides actually pretty good.
This thing is crazy. I have the A959 with brushless conversion.
Easy fix to prevent the gears from getting dirty: th-cam.com/video/ZGCwq8maeQU/w-d-xo.html
With this stability management it will drive straight on gravel: th-cam.com/video/JT44wb_S_bI/w-d-xo.html
TheDIYGuy999 Thanks bro. Your work is awesome.
I love how it says "headphones" on the side of the car for no reason xD
The wlto

YEAH!
@@beamshobbyshack266 do not upgrade this truck. it is not worthy.

The amount of upgrades for these is unbelievable. Great Lil car. I have a fully aluminium build with axle extenders and it looks sick.
Hey bud can you turn down the throttle duel rate? With the remote?
Hi can you please send me the link for upgrades please?
@@dragan3290 look on banggood.com and gearbest.com they have the fully upgraded aluminum kit on those sites for like 70$ or you can buy upgrades piece by piece but that is the sites you need to check. And asiatees.com is another one.
@@cwatson42785 thanks for the speedy reply.have a good day
59 isn't quite 70 but remember it's carrying a GPS that it isn't supposed to have on it. For tje weight of the car any extra weight would slow it down. An upgrade series would be cool. I'm getting one. It'd be nice to see how it could be improved. Specifically traction and suspension.
Try and get your hands on the 12428 if you can Vas. These trucks are as tough as old boots and being 1/12th scale they handle the gravel a lot better. I'm glad you like the little 1/18th MT it looks like fun,but it's just too small for me.
It’s my favorite wltoys besides the a959b
Nice video and review. Would subscribe if there was more of these reviews at this price point. The rest of the videos are way above my budget hehe. Wouldn't mind the top 10 style for RC cars of this budget. Even categorised by style, eg off road, tarmac etc.
Love it Vas! :) I got the A979 A, not the B model that has the 380 motor. More controllable, and I added shock oil to it, and it helped a lot.. Mine was $29.99 on Amazon!!!! I just went with the different distributor, Geepker. Amazing for the price :).
I didn't see it for that price can u send me link where can I get a fast one for cheap price
I'm definitely getting one
If you want more control....put smaller weels in the front. (Only)...... like from the wltoys buggie a959a.. ...
Don't bother putting oil in the shocks, it will just leak out. You can buy oil filled shocks for these pretty cheap. The servo has a five wire cable so if you want a better servo you'll have to change the receiver, and speed controller too. I've done a brushless conversion on the a979 model. Had to modify the diffs though as it kept destroying the stock ones. Loads of fun for not much money though.
rustino666 what did you do to modify the diffs?
Ryan Hansen The WLToys 12428 model has very similar diffs to the A979 but the gears inside have coarser teeth. If you remove these inner gears from the 12428 diff and file out the slots in the umbrella gears, you can fit them into the casing of the A979 diff.
Upgrade metal parts can be oil fill right?
Areld Fish,Turtle - yes the upgraded alloy shocks can be oil filled.
rustino666 Nahh.. I've done it. it works well. just need a right method.
I got this car today and don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but I've gone to charge the battery and there's no indicator light on the charger, shouldn't it be flashing green when its charging and solid green when fully charged, please help and when I went to turn the car on it was flashing red.
I have the earlier version of this truck and after the 4th run I started hearing grinding sounds and well I tore up my spur or some other gear. The gears are plastic and well I haven't touched it since then as I want to buy the metal gears before I do. On another note the steering was not to my liking so I might need to upgrade the servo too. And like you said Vas...this truck doesn't like going at full speed.
I'd like to see someone put much larger tires on this, like 1/10th size, for control ability and ground clearance. it may 'calm' the thing down a bit.
That a joke?
@@stuart3712 it could b done, right?
Please upgrade with ball bearings, new shocks and metal parts needed. On this vehicle you can find everything and you can make it a good car. I would like to know your opinion.
Thanx for the video! I need help PLEASE. Brand new 959 that I got , but I cant control it. I switch on the radio and the LED blinks red and green. I switch on the car (Battery is full) and the ESC light just blinks. From there nothing happens at all.
When I touch the remote , its LED will be constant green , but the ESC still flashes and no control over the car.
( I have left the car on and red-green flashing for minutes on end with no success)
That am I doing wrong?
The body graphics are hilarious. "Headphones"
lol chinese body's are so weird sometimes lol, some of them are like "SUPER DRIFT" on a touring car
search wltoys k999 because on the front it says hoot niga no joke
Nice review Aussie!
Hello I actually think this little guy is pretty trick because you can actually fully customize it all the way up to I believe there is a 1/10 scale aluminium chassis for this little monster and they offer alot of upgradable parts for it like brushless motor and esc combo as well as a metal chassis for its original size and also kits for anything you want to do to modify it like fully size oil filled shocks as well as bearings for the wheels and metal servo horn or U can just upgrade the servo as well as all the individual parts needed for what ever you want to do to it. I think it's pretty trick what you can get for a relatively low price even after fully upgrading it
This things got me in into buggies. I started with the a959, to a hobbyking 1/16 4wd racing buggy. To a losi mini 8ight,To an ecx revenge 1/8. To a losi 3.0 8ight. And for 45$, it's crazy cheap, even parts for my losi mini 8ight cost 45$
At $45 it's such a deal, and the upgrade parts are dirt cheap, you can get the entire set of aluminum shocks for like $8, hub bearings for $2, I think you can even get an aluminum chassis for like $20.
Tune it and try it on the track where you drive your other vehicles! Great vid once again :)
That’s a lot of power for such a tiny truck 😀👍
I had this and the rally version and they both developed the gear grinding noise which resulted in a damaged spur and pinion. So that's definitely a weakness. Cool vid though
You ate the gears inside it mine dont make them grinding muchin noises ... Get this to help backflips Traxxas 1/16 E Revo Rally Slash Summit Aluminum Wheelie Bar VXS133M01
Cool video and awesome format for what you are trying to achieve!
Nice review! Please upgrade the parts you consider.
I have the a version and I'am upgrading it to brushless and some aluminium parts. I'll love to see what parts you decide to upgrade, and what shock oil is the best with some outmarket shocks.
The acceleration trim presumably slows it down? So full trigger for less acceleration? Or less top speed overall? I'm aware it's ridiculously overpowered so it'd be nice to trim some of that off. Is that what the trim is for?
I got one the transmitter burned out ima fix it will give update later
Its been 2 years do u have an update yet
This is a great video great job what a fast little thing
Lol. That thing is rediculous. You can get that exact truck on banggood for $73 bucks right now. They have a buggy version to. I've thought about buying one before just for fun. Cool review though. Thanks
Very good toy
That motor being a 540..? Would be heavy I recon and throwing off the balance. The 380 size motor would still be fast I think and much more stable
i have these but the normal version they are pretty durable ,try the wltoys k969 drift
The factory steering linkage and servo are garbage. I had the rally version and does not matter what I did it never held a straight line. Mine had cnc shock towers, chassis brace, center drive shaft, but the steering really killed it.
The reason you are having problems, same deal, spin out at full speed.
Swapping the servo is not that easy as it has its own wiring setup to the esc.
Back to the steering, tuned shocks, ball bearings, etc... ended selling it dirt cheap, just enough to buy a combo meal, lol.
This is a real BUDGET Hobby Grade RC !
The good thing is,you can always upgrade it !
For the price they want for this you can get better with better parts and upgrade support.
+DeadnCold
Such as...?
DeadnCold like what?
You can get these for $80 nothing comes close as far as fun per $$$
Diffs are the biggest issue but we have worked out how to fix them now
That thing is nuts i actually want one. Could you actually upgrade it to bearings and change the shocks.
danny wilcock dont get it wet thank me later
I wonder what is the highest amps u can charge this batteries? You said that stock charger is 0.5A Would it b ok to charge it with 3.5A? It would charge the battery much quicker but will that b ok for battery?
it doesn't help that the front wheels are pointing in different directions with no adjustment to correct it and you'll probably find that 1 or more of the shock shafts are sticking which is limiting the shock travel, the one i received had 3 bad shocks. i was pissed enough after just paying $65 for one i would have been ballistic if i would have paid 140, they ended up giving me a $45 refund and i gave the truck to one of the neighbor kids
25k diff oil in the shocks sounds silly but it works great in mine
It looks really great , what’s the motor n turns? What gears?
I like how you did the unboxing, running video and review all in one video 👍 For a truck like this that was perfect!
Awesome RC
what sound is that bro?
Id be very interested to see what its like with some shock oil
Could it be the rotational force of the heavy motor pulling it to one direction?
Gerard Scheffer no wheel bearings just shims
i ended up putting a 90wt oil in the shocks.
I had didn't like but I made it brushless on 3s and it would do 50 and wheelied
Awesome vid vas
i got one but broke the suspension stand
What battery can fit in there no problem
looks a little too lightweight to be really enjoyable
S maxx or this rc? Any thoughts guys? Looking for a entry level rc for my nephew.
Chris Watson not sure about the S maxx, but this thing looks far too fast and uncontrollable for a novice, they would likely have a fairly spectacular crash imho. Some of the cheap rock crawling trucks can be good fun for kids, you don’t need too much space or a track or road to have fun.
Bro this RC car can adjust speed in remote
Awesome video! Have you seen the new Proline pro mt 4x4. Will you be doing a review on it?
Great video and beautiful review. I own lots of Wltoys rcs all of the A9x9 series. From what I can tell the a9x9b versions use the exact same brushed can motor as the Wltoys 12423 and 12428
Its waterproof?
Hi can get a link for the batteries please
What an awesome truck!
looks like a dromida mt4.18
+devilicous
Yes, quite similar.

Hi can someone please tell me what the battery tray length is ?
61mm, small.
Hey dude, just curious what size the motor actually is? Thanks.
Anthony Benning it's a 540 brushed motor
Javier Cabanellas thanks dude.
i think it's a 380
+Anthony Benning
This comes with a 540 size motor, but the cheaper one has a 380 size.
Aussie RC Playground awesome. Thanks fella!
The remote looks like a Spekky clone
Mein Sohn ist sehr begeistert von dem DingLong WL Toys A979-B - schneller RC Monstertruck amzn.to/2RQ9nmQ und für Rund 89 Euro ein echtes Schnäppchen.
Tires do have foam in them.
Are you sure? It feels there's nothing but air in there... If there's foam, it must be super thin.
They dont their hollow
Top speed I got was 35 miles per hour
Are parts available?
Yeah look on ebay
I was able to get mine up to 35mph most of the videos I've seen on it was able to get it around the same speed. 70kmh is a hoax that they just put on the description and the box of this thing
The motor is too powerful for this little truck parts on it feel very cheaply made and steering is very bad it will not stay straight
It's a wltoys a979 b
I have a lite hawk elite that will go 25 could u do a vid on that?
Think it has a bit sloppy steering & weak servo saver which causes it to pull too either side.
Video of the sloppy steering in action.

after 1 Week I'm Bored Of it ?
Great video! I love this car it is truly awesome. However, don't
forget to buy an extra set of wheel nuts. The wheels sometimes fall off
and the nuts are easy to loose:

Great video mate. Once you oil up the shocks, it will runs perfectly without bounce. Watch the short video after oil up the shocks th-cam.com/video/ik7FpNV5vrw/w-d-xo.html
never should upgrade this truck. If you want a good truck, buy another one.
