I’ve had legit hobby grade rc cars with and without lipos...I’ve spent hundreds if not close to thousands of dollars to get it to go as fast and handle at their best potential possible, this rc really surprised me to how fast it is with a brushed motor, and 4x4! 😳 and for $50 with a parts list!...seems like a win to me!
it doesnt take thousands to go fast in rc. there are many rtr's that do 60+ mph. this wouldnt be fun to play with, very hard to control as you can seen in the video. handling would suck especially since the shocks are not oil filled. and no matter what the person says on the video if you hit something going that fast it WILL BREAK.
Good video buddy. Your always going to break something in rc when it does break replace it with upgraded parts think this is ideal to get started learn the basics and upgrade as you go. Are rcmoment good I placed a order with them 5 days ago never used them before, I messaged them because part of my address was missing in email they sent me, not had a reply how long did yours take to arrive? Cheers
On again, this fake guy comments on a video. 43 mph is not the fastest on the market bud. The stock VXL Stampede hits +45 mph and with a lipo +70 mph. You over exaggerate everything. Plus, you cannot even control the thing. How is a kid supposed to play with it?
My kids mini revo was worth every penny. We've both cart wheeled it at 50+mom and kept going. This thing runs for 6 minutes it says. We get a HELL of alot more run time with our hobby quality vehicles. I give it props for standing backflips and over 40mph, but it's gonna break.....easily. I'll stick with our traxxas vehicles. I only talked about the mini revo because it's close to the size of this thing.
So far all the wltoys cars I’ve had have been really good for the price. Currently enjoying the 12428. Have also had the a959. Same as this but smaller wheels. This one looks insane! 😮😂Definitely be ordering this one for our next videos 👍
Great review of a great product for the “price”! I read some comments and it’s painfully obvious that they weren’t paying attention to a word you said! He repeatedly said for the price! You can’t compare this to Traxxas which cost way more, run on brushless and lipos!!! Thanks for the video I’m buying a few of these for myself and my family!👍🏽🤙🏽😃
Price is 75 on banggood shipped. I got the lower base model couple of years ago and upgraded little by little everything to metal along with motor upgrade. All in all it would be a great entry level basher rc that kids could play with without sweating bullets if something breaks. My first experience with rc in recent years and have to say the speed and power of this are impressive. Got the Buggy truck version as well. Upgrading motor was a bit of big project since you need upgrade platform and gears. But get this already upgraded model and you’ll have fun for a good amount of time!
Just want to point out to anybody that didn’t realize this he meant it’s $90 dollars on amazon and $30 dollars more on his link... Heres the amazon link: www.amazon.com/GoolRC-WLtoys-A979-B-Electric-Monster/dp/B07NNSF4LL/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=rc+a979&qid=1587620946&sr=8-1
$83.99 on banggood as of 1/6/2020 with free shipping .all the parts you need to fix or upgrade. It just might take a while to get it depending on where you live.I live in California and it can take up to a month to receive your order, sometimes earlier. but worth the wait for the price.
Im actually thinking about getting that truck but if I do then I'll add some lead weight to the front so it dont just be flipping over like that when you give it throttle . pI would also add lead weight right beside the battery . but thats a cool little truck for a good price
And u could but all metal parts for it from the drive line to the gear cover and I recommend just getting the stock gear sprocket for engine and drive line cause it's way faster with the stock gear
Great little truck but like all 1/18 scale (I own 2) The mini Redcat Volcano & the Sandy land, it's next to impossible to keep them in a straight line under power.
Does a979 share the same parts with a959 . I mean in case of metal upgrades i see a lot of a959 parts in bangood.com .. do we get different alloy wheels for a979.. like the ones in a959? ? Please respond.. thanks alot for the. Review of the product..cheers.
I think you should take a look at the Helion Animus 18MT. A real hilarious similarity between the two right down to the tire and rim combo besides arrangements of the internals and speed. I don't l know who copied who but this is amazing
Hey man. Did you have trouble tracking your order with rcmoment?? I can't find phone number or any of that besides one that is in Chinese language or something?? Thanks man
You can't wrong with WLToys RC vehicles. Great fast hobby RCs at cheap prices that don't break the bank. This thing definitely is faster than my Traxxas Stampede and for half the price, holy crap! And, it's not the newer 60mph Stampede either. It's an RC that I got back in 2010 when my local hobbystore RC Wings and Wheels was still open. And, it even does crazy stunts because of how insanely fast it is for the price.
Can’t find the coupon bought one t regular price , which is jacked up using it to get my spectrum kids to focus. Playing with the truck is their reward. It’s working well
So fast that the first good hit on the hard plastic A arms and other brittle parts it will break hard. Lots of broken parts. Been in RC for over 35yrs. Seen it all. Good cheap entry level hobby grade products.
Tony Kart Racer someone's mad. First, people don't "ballin'". They may think they ARE "ballin'", but they do not "ballin'". Second, if you think hate is speaking facts then you must be overly sensitive and have intense self confidence issues because every teacher and human you've come in contact with would therefore be a hater. Frankly, he's right. You sound like a kid, so picture this; you see this video and think "aw sweet, I'm asking for this for Christmas, I'm gonna doing RC ballin for sure and I can even get some my Little ponies to ride shotgun since it's so cheap!!". Christmas rolls around, you're all excited, you take it outside first thing and 3 minutes in the inevitable happens and you hit a wall, tree, car tire, etc. because if you say you've never crashed an RC car you either never used one or are a liar - it happens. Except because the only focus of this car is to be very inexpensive and fast, it had no structural integrity (basically the same as putting a Hayabusa engine in a golf cart and expecting it to survive a crash) so your prized car is in pieces all over the driveway and you're stuck playing with the ponies all by themselves. Depressing, I know, but that's the facts.
Chris Carr- I'm glad the guys in my local rc community aren't like you. You've got nothing but hate and vileness and a need somehow prove you're better than everybody else.
Actually bud. You are dead ass wrong. I have had a traxxas trx4, rustler, stampede, redcat blackout and more. I then bought this one in buggy form and it out lasted everything else I own lol. The plastic parts are quite flexible and bend when impacted. Not so stiff and snappable like most real hobby rc cars and trucks. The upgrades are very wonky to on but overall not a bad rc for 70 bucks
frayiscool 04 how much time did it take to reachya? Where are u from? Iam from india and something i orderd from bangood havent still reached me aftr 10 days.
yeah, you love to say 50 dollars, but don't forget the shipping. 80.00 total if you don't mind waiting a month for it! Ill just get mine form amazon so I can enjoy it WAY sooner.....
Luis Sierra yes if you don't smash it up I had a a959 50kph and it was durable for a year easily more but I took the motor off then put it back it and that broke the motor As long as you don't take t he thing apart. Only get a really good battery and you should be fine
Hey bud, love ur vids...but it's the A979-B not the A979, and it's $50 but you have to deal with RCmoments terrible $20+ shipping fees. Have seen it on Ebay from China for $64 free shipping. Got mine from New Jersey $84. If it's more than that after ship...it ain't much of a deal. Keep rocking. L929 is my favorite video of yours. Chariots of fire. I also got the WL 12423 based on ur video but I can't keep it from flipping - so i got me some fat tires to put on it.
Charles Penn some stupid 4th grader chucked a 5lb rock at it. it shattered the front steering hub and bent the shocks. i already spent 20 bucks on aluminum replacements
Tyco Indy car from the 80's did something like 80 mph. Sooo many AA's gave their lives. Would probably be crazy fast with li-ion. 12v car. I had the Al Unser car.
I went looking for pictures of the thing after posting. There seems to be only 3 pictures from one eBay sale from who knows when. Thing was new in box.
Jordan Bandler I've had mine since March 2016 and a clicking noise you hear is from the center drive shaft bearings that need more lube and I solved that with Amsoil 5w 30 engine oil and also the dips do go out specially the pinion gear on the Center Drive Shaft. The pinion gear on the Center Drive Shaft went out about a month after I upgraded to a 1200mah 2c lipo. Surprisingly the spider gears inside the diff are holding up very well and all they have is Vaseline and I regrease them after 1 month of use. But I can tell that it would need metal spider gears in the diff for a brushless system

I love wltoys all products... cheap but good quality products... love it and definitely will buy it

how happy he is about the power of this car.. hahaha, nice review !! i´m gonna get on of those funny cars !!
It's the bargain of bargains . Amazing little car. Great video brother 👍👊👍👊
Haha! Love the so obviously Chinese livery. Favorite Area.... DASH EV Favorite Car! Headphones!

this is awesome. I love mini's i gotta get me one of these.
Yeah it's an awesome truck.. I've had mine ages and run it on 3s now lol
Enjoying your videos! New subscriber :)
Awesome performance 👍
Wl toys is becoming a force to be reckoned with quickly
Pichardo Gabriel not really
jacob dukes their prices for the abilities that these rc cars have are eventually going to give the hobby grade rc makers a run for their money
Pichardo Gabriel that is true that would even make them step up there game
i ran it on 16s and it teleport back to 1769. cant find the damn thing.
Found it! But it's wrecked!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
xD nice
Those are pretty cool. I have the red body on my Teton. Now I want to order the wheels and tires. Maybe I will order one too!!

They are more like $90 now. If it lasts, then good deal. Also, I hate all of the nerds chirping at how much they hate it.

Awesome
I'm pretty sure it actually comes with a lipo, not a high power one like 25c but still, or at least li ion which would be improved upon with a lipo.
Is the front tires came in crooked? Mines did. Was undriverable at first. Then i adjusted the steering servo.
I’m getting mine next week.. Can’t wait!! 40mph 🤫
Its actually 60km h stock Because you can’t get Full power, but i tested it and all Forces in math formula and max speed should be 85-90km h
FRAN 350 what do you do to it to make it go 85-90kmh?
Dude calm down lol 😂😂
Timothy Andelmo for real
He love that stuff.😀
The insane gearing also helps speed up the little bugger
Im actually thinking about getting that truck but if I do then I'll add some lead weight to the front so it dont just be flipping over like that when you give it throttle . pI would also add lead weight right beside the battery . but thats a cool little truck for a good price

Awesome. It should has wheeley bar.
Abu Tayiba RC Videos i am going to buy this and do that thank you!
Dame thats a mini erevo killer
I know this video isn't the newest but can i still use the coupon or not. And if i still can how would i do that?
Bro how long did it take for your RC to come in and did your order from gearbest? I did and it’s take forever to come in.
Got one gor my son, its fantastic
What kind of batteries does it run? I bought one at a yard sale with no batteries or charging, I'm not sure what kind to buy
I think you should take a look at the Helion Animus 18MT. A real hilarious similarity between the two right down to the tire and rim combo besides arrangements of the internals and speed. I don't l know who copied who but this is amazing
Hey man. Did you have trouble tracking your order with rcmoment?? I can't find phone number or any of that besides one that is in Chinese language or something?? Thanks man
OH MYYYY GODDDDDD
Cool
"Im gonna need all the road i can get", he only goes about 10 - 15ft away HAHAHAHA
You can't wrong with WLToys RC vehicles. Great fast hobby RCs at cheap prices that don't break the bank. This thing definitely is faster than my Traxxas Stampede and for half the price, holy crap!

Calm down dude!!! We get it, it's a fast little car.
3:35 - metal dog bone. Control arms are still plastic, but no concerns on that.
Wonder if it would handle better if you added weight to it ?
Gnarly!
Can’t find the coupon bought one t regular price , which is jacked up using it to get my spectrum kids to focus. Playing with the truck is their reward. It’s working well
Super car
im getting one for chrismas
its b version btw but nice vid and i just bought the 390 motor one and i cant wait
390 motor is So small! get a 550 motor
Nooooooo 550 is uncontroble 390 is more fun
Yeah. That's what you want to give a beginner. A lot of speed.
That discount code isn't working for me?? Do you have an updated code?
where do you find those trucks for 50 ? all the ones I see are a little obe 75 dollars
So fast that the first good hit on the hard plastic A arms and other brittle parts it will break hard. Lots of broken parts. Been in RC for over 35yrs. Seen it all. Good cheap entry level hobby grade products.
Don't hate because people can now RC ballin' on a budget. Hater.

I soak plastic parts in wd40 sounds strange but gives a little flexibility
There is a new mugen MBX8 coming out. It would suit you well
thank you!! I just orderd mine today!
frayiscool 04 .. well how is it? I was thinking of ordering mine.
Sachin Cb it still didn't come yet. I think it is shipped from China so it will take a while...
Sachin Cb just got it today!!! it is a blast!!! only thing is the suspension isn't for big jumps but it is super fast
Sachin Cb also the handling isn't the best like steering and stuff but you can upgrade it so it steers better...
frayiscool 04 how much time did it take to reachya? Where are u from? Iam from india and something i orderd from bangood havent still reached me aftr 10 days.
how long can you drive it for per charge?
I have the brushed vl 912 helikopter.Fast and wery good rc concider it,s fully brushed .
This RC has a 540 brushed motor, "540!!" That's insane.
So should i get this one or the 12428?
I just got mine and it keeps losing connection for the throttle but the steering works and the light flashes help please
Get the wltoys a979b to the skatepark and do some high jumps see how strong it is. I love the a979b Rc car
Damn boooooyyyy
50 plus 26$ shipping from China then keep in mind parts will be hard to find or slow to get and you will break parts probably often
Do you have any updated discount codes
It is a Lipo. 7.4v just means it's a 2 cell Lipo. It would be crazy on a 3s tho lol
how bout water proof?
yeah, you love to say 50 dollars, but don't forget the shipping. 80.00 total if you don't mind waiting a month for it! Ill just get mine form amazon so I can enjoy it WAY sooner.....
holimans7 and Amazon is cheaper
I went to the website and it says the item can’t be shipped to the US.
Wow i have to get one
I believe you man I've seen videos
Yep that’s what exactly is the invoice
My dream toy
Do you want to be hit by one of those "toys"?
They can literally brake your feet!
Nice wouldn’t mind having it my self. It’s probly to much for a kids don’t ya think. How reliable is it. Don’t care if it’s fast but is it reliable.
Luis Sierra yes if you don't smash it up
I had a a959 50kph and it was durable for a year easily more but I took the motor off then put it back it and that broke the motor
As long as you don't take t he thing apart. Only get a really good battery and you should be fine
How long does the battery life
YOU UPGRADE IT
*upgraded
You should put racing tires and see how fast she goes
.
That. is. a. cool. toy
Hey bud, love ur vids...but it's the A979-B not the A979, and it's $50 but you have to deal with RCmoments terrible $20+ shipping fees. Have seen it on Ebay from China for $64 free shipping. Got mine from New Jersey $84. If it's more than that after ship...it ain't much of a deal. Keep rocking. L929 is my favorite video of yours. Chariots of fire. I also got the WL 12423 based on ur video but I can't keep it from flipping - so i got me some fat tires to put on it.
i got mine on amazon for $75 plus $5 shipping
Inniyew Tesfaw Don't let your friends drive it. Especially cheap friends who won't help replace the parts they f*ck up.
It goes 40mph not 30. I put the a959 tires on it. Super control.
Charles Penn some stupid 4th grader chucked a 5lb rock at it. it shattered the front steering hub and bent the shocks. i already spent 20 bucks on aluminum replacements
It needs wheelie bars to keep the front end down.
Bro its 💯 f dollars
paddle tires, lake runs.
Tyco Indy car from the 80's did something like 80 mph. Sooo many AA's gave their lives. Would probably be crazy fast with li-ion. 12v car. I had the Al Unser car.
I went looking for pictures of the thing after posting. There seems to be only 3 pictures from one eBay sale from who knows when. Thing was new in box.
Tyco was the shit and alway topped my wishlists for Christmas and bday.....born '73
Tyco Indy car could never do 80 that’s 😆 more like 20mph
you need a drag bar on the back of that truck
when I get mine thats what im going to do
wheelie bars
damn its so fast
can u review arc truck called the beast slayer
Holy shit
I agree it’s s great little rc car, too fast for it own good
This truck should've had over sized tires. Tyco Rebound returns. :)
Just needs a slipper clutch to keep it in control.
Was that clicking noise the diff going out or the spur gear? I've heard they're pretty terrible on diffs
None of the above.. the cars runs 100% fine not sure what made you think that
heard that to
the very clear clicking noise that can be heard near the end of the video.... anyone that has run RC would know that sound.
Jordan Bandler I've had mine since March 2016 and a clicking noise you hear is from the center drive shaft bearings that need more lube and I solved that with Amsoil 5w 30 engine oil and also the dips do go out specially the pinion gear on the Center Drive Shaft. The pinion gear on the Center Drive Shaft went out about a month after I upgraded to a 1200mah 2c lipo. Surprisingly the spider gears inside the diff are holding up very well and all they have is Vaseline and I regrease them after 1 month of use. But I can tell that it would need metal spider gears in the diff for a brushless system
is it really true? because I'm planning to buy one...
Try the Bezgar 6
**3 years later**
With the link you sent, it's about $120
Wow WTF!!!
Super neat truck mines coming in a couple days but unfortunately it does not go 40+ mph it goes 34-35
it goes around 38mph on concrete
My son broke 1 within about 5 mins wicked car and loads of fun
It's he's fault, not the car's.
Yes definitely I fixed it twice after that and now it's in the cupboard very fast car👍👍
Mine broke the rear diff today and the motor seems to have lost its power in 1 year :)
