This Is MADNESS!! 43 MPH!? WLTOYS A979 1/18 RC Monster Truck

[@vipersyl]

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!

[@jhue73]

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.

[@bunney73]

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

[@reidbabin1473]

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?

[@bzmotoninja83]

for $50 tho?

[@jasonjaeger4042]

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.

[@UAVier]

i ran it on 16s and it teleport back to 1769. cant find the damn thing.

[@InTheSh8]

Found it! But it's wrecked!

[@Ruben.vandb1]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@RiverTheNerd]

xD nice

[@Dan-cu8hc]

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 👍

[@allinone-eq1fk]

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

[@gabrielpichardo1492]

Wl toys is becoming a force to be reckoned with quickly

[@jacobdukes4741]

Pichardo Gabriel not really

[@gabrielpichardo1492]

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

[@jacobdukes4741]

Pichardo Gabriel that is true that would even make them step up there game

[@jonpacheco7581]

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!👍🏽🤙🏽😃

[@Ugly_Creep]

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.

[@ryanjs]

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

[@Karachircvlogger]

Awesome performance 👍

[@timothyandelmo541]

Dude calm down lol 😂😂

[@berv9169]

Timothy Andelmo for real

[@manueltroche2405]

He love that stuff.😀

[@TonysRcTechboom]

It's the bargain of bargains . Amazing little car. Great video brother 👍👊👍👊

[@rcbulldog8698]

This is horrible advice. You said it's good for beginners and kids. It's too uncontrollable for a young kid and you would have to be a fool to give this to a child.

[@DanielElson]

RC Bulldog the a959 50kph was my first one and all I say is be responsible learn how to use a little bit of throttle and then increase it

[@DanielElson]

RC Bulldog also it says 14+

[@dpatt7503]

I laughed when he said ''easy to contro''

[@mediamunchies]

Calm down dude!!! We get it, it's a fast little car.

[@Tuesdaysgonewtw]

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.

[@duecerc3345]

I’m getting mine next week.. Can’t wait!! 40mph 🤫

[@fran.6496]

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

[@duecerc3345]

FRAN 350 what do you do to it to make it go 85-90kmh?

[@santanajackson6160]

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

[@lightningdad13]

this is awesome. I love mini's i gotta get me one of these.

[@imtheking_3256]

Bro its 💯 f dollars

[@ericpage9914]

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!

[@bliglum]

Haha! Love the so obviously Chinese livery. Favorite Area.... DASH EV Favorite Car! Headphones!

[@jake116m8]

"Im gonna need all the road i can get", he only goes about 10 - 15ft away HAHAHAHA

[@BronxXxBassTV]

how happy he is about the power of this car.. hahaha, nice review !! i´m gonna get on of those funny cars !!

[@LEVARIOMIKE]

$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.

[@florencesarmiento6423]

I like your rc😜

[@alum1n1umkn1ght3]

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?

[@ericlalachingonbrado]

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

[@castironbandito]

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.

[@SargeScum]

The insane gearing also helps speed up the little bugger

[@deeptownmineingunion6806]

More like : only $120!!!

[@aaronzaffiro]

More like: the video was made in 2018 !

[@RiverTheNerd]

**3 years later** With the link you sent, it's about $120

[@holimans7]

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.....

[@jacehayes8228]

holimans7 and Amazon is cheaper

[@rc_action_]

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.

[@kevinchopito5945]

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

[@skytalon74]

3:35 - metal dog bone. Control arms are still plastic, but no concerns on that.

[@thomasdebiase1460]

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.

[@tonykartracer8032]

Don't hate because people can now RC ballin' on a budget. Hater.

[@monkeyjuju7441]

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.

[@tomparis37]

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.

[@lizdeeter9462]

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

[@theapplemanakacollinmatthe5385]

I soak plastic parts in wd40 sounds strange but gives a little flexibility

[@jdsrcs8061]

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!!

[@Kantar_]

its b version btw but nice vid and i just bought the 390 motor one and i cant wait

[@randomstuff-wg6nj]

390 motor is So small! get a 550 motor

[@BuildaPC4life]

Nooooooo 550 is uncontroble 390 is more fun

[@NathanStorer-RC]

Enjoying your videos! New subscriber :)

[@AbuTayibaRCVideos]

Awesome. It should has wheeley bar.

[@YoungenColin]

Abu Tayiba RC Videos i am going to buy this and do that thank you!

[@homestedmechanic5300]

how bout water proof?

[@PERTHWESTOZRC]

Yeah it's an awesome truck.. I've had mine ages and run it on 3s now lol

[@santanajackson6160]

you need a drag bar on the back of that truck when I get mine thats what im going to do

[@Please_Why]

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

[@charlessamuelpenn9374]

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.

[@inniyewtesfaw2003]

i got mine on amazon for $75 plus $5 shipping

[@charlessamuelpenn9374]

Inniyew Tesfaw Don't let your friends drive it. Especially cheap friends who won't help replace the parts they f*ck up.

[@charlessamuelpenn9374]

It goes 40mph not 30. I put the a959 tires on it. Super control.

[@inniyewtesfaw2003]

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

[@davidanson8816]

Yep that’s what exactly is the invoice

[@santanajackson6160]

where do you find those trucks for 50 ? all the ones I see are a little obe 75 dollars

[@ulmwurttemberg1682]

Yeah. That's what you want to give a beginner. A lot of speed.

[@MONICAJIMENEZ-qj2oe]

Very Good

[@Dark_Shadow_27]

I went to the website and it says the item can’t be shipped to the US.

[@cwatson42785]

I ran on 8s and it literally flew away. I honestly can't find it.

[@PavelVarga24]

I bet it would flew apart rather than fly away :D

[@timothytendick1550]

you mean blew away as in blown up? 8s and you would hear POP and smell that funky burnt odor

[@sethturner7089]

Chris Watson ordered just now

[@ann-charlotteelfstrom1960]

im sorry

[@sethturner7089]

Best video ever

[@notdead911]

Wonder if it would handle better if you added weight to it ?

[@chrissgarage2011]

Dame thats a mini erevo killer

[@joezjr]

There is a new mugen MBX8 coming out. It would suit you well

[@hammerT2997]

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

[@TOY_GUÅHAN]

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.

[@angelenriquez3085]

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

[@themacfarmfamilyadventures4708]

I just got mine and it keeps losing connection for the throttle but the steering works and the light flashes help please

[@7808y]

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

[@heesok2151]

My dream toy

[@RC-ty5ym]

Do you want to be hit by one of those "toys"? They can literally brake your feet!

[@strictly4passion]

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.

[@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC]

Cool

[@junballs6576]

Is the front tires came in crooked? Mines did. Was undriverable at first. Then i adjusted the steering servo.

[@michaelluciano7774]

This RC has a 540 brushed motor, "540!!" That's insane.

[@cloudchaser8297]

You should put racing tires and see how fast she goes .

[@bboydrae]

Awesome

[@w.damiththarangasilva1395]

Get the wltoys a979b to the skatepark and do some high jumps see how strong it is. I love the a979b Rc car

[@Revdonlee74]

It needs wheelie bars to keep the front end down.

[@luismedrano4437]

aye man you are incorrect this is not the Wltoys A979 it is the WLtoys A979-B.

[@calebhatch1245]

I believe you man I've seen videos

[@gamingbattlegames1225]

Really can tell your making money trying to sell that truck lol, but really its around 100 dollars with shipping cost so not 50 its 100 to get it to your door but yes very fast but i will stick with my 1/10 scale nitro. good job

[@ralphlongo1975]

You can get them free shipping on Ebay for about 75. I paid 46 for my non-b version of the truck and 38 for my buggy version with the 390.

[@gamingbattlegames1225]

ralph longo that’s a good deal, I just got my traxxes 1/10 scale monster truck with a 72 Chevy custom body this truck hits 40mph total wild 4x4 high jumps using a 5000mah battery very sweet build. That small truck is awesome I would buy it just for the speed and see how it jumps lol. Great review.

[@Raycefan]

Your link has it for $119 as of March, 2019. That’s a hell of a lot different than $50, and your coupon code doesn’t work

[@Raycefan]

Hemster absolutely, and with a little searching, you can find it around $60, but that’s still nowhere near the $50 the title to this video claims.

[@ProDaStig]

Dope!

[@jax1411]

Try the Bezgar 6

[@garyhems2453]

OH MYYYY GODDDDDD

[@zoroxtreme867]

im getting one for chrismas

[@Goludan]

So should i get this one or the 12428?

[@nigelperren5714]

Cool!! I want one!!

[@captaininsano2777]

If you read the pack, it is a LiPo!!!! Lol the blue pack is LiPo

[@cwatson42785]

Sherburne Lee I believe it's a lion not a lipo.

[@captaininsano2777]

Chris Watson oh ok

[@cwatson42785]

Sherburne Lee Yeah alot of these smaller rigs with the blue packs are lithium ion but very similar to lipos. Good batteries.

[@captaininsano2777]

Chris Watson this is also a A979B. Not a regular A979

[@montimarley915]

It’s pretty much the same thing still....lithium ion, lipo which is lithium polymer I think there’s also a lithium cobalt battery once again I think but the point is the chemistry is a little different but you could use the same charger if need be cause it’s the same thing

[@SpeedSyko]

Ah it’s 119$ now oh well

[@jaydrapeau4877]

That discount code isn't working for me?? Do you have an updated code?

[@pgtmr2713]

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.

[@pgtmr2713]

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.

[@timothytendick1550]

Tyco was the shit and alway topped my wishlists for Christmas and bday.....born '73

[@LukesVintageRC]

Tyco Indy car could never do 80 that’s 😆 more like 20mph

[@johnjames4981]

Got one gor my son, its fantastic

[@luissierra614]

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.

[@DanielElson]

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

[@cayloreitman1209]

Awesome I think I will buy one

[@ethanwaite4122]

It is a Lipo. 7.4v just means it's a 2 cell Lipo. It would be crazy on a 3s tho lol

[@GunturWibowo2010]

damn its so fast

[@jakeb4816]

Damn boooooyyyy

[@tonykartracer8032]

I like how some of these RC enthusiasts are soo jealous because now people can spend pennies and get a BEAST of an RC car. Those haters, gotta love em'! Hahaha... 43mph for only fiddy dollaz, eat that HATERZ!

[@hixtube]

Was that clicking noise the diff going out or the spur gear? I've heard they're pretty terrible on diffs

[@MrRandomReviews]

None of the above.. the cars runs 100% fine not sure what made you think that

[@TwistedIntentions79]

heard that to

[@mikejaehn9856]

the very clear clicking noise that can be heard near the end of the video.... anyone that has run RC would know that sound.

[@useritscarrot]

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

[@bebotkoh877]

is it really true? because I'm planning to buy one...

[@freddyz7629]

thank you!! I just orderd mine today!

[@strictly4passion]

frayiscool 04 .. well how is it? I was thinking of ordering mine.

[@freddyz7629]

Sachin Cb it still didn't come yet. I think it is shipped from China so it will take a while...

[@freddyz7629]

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

[@freddyz7629]

Sachin Cb also the handling isn't the best like steering and stuff but you can upgrade it so it steers better...

[@strictly4passion]

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.

Were you the guy driving an RC car down the freeway then taking the exit ramp on that KZbin vid ?

[@pauliether.c.guy.3349]

Gecko holy shit i seen that video. That guy was outta his mind. I own an X0-1 and I would never do that to a $1000 rc car. He probably had that kind of money To play with. I sure as hell dont took me 3 months to get that money I dunno maybe cuz Im a loser lol. I want to get this truck but it looks flimsy and cheap.
