I must say I enjoy testing these small 1/18th scale 4WD High Speed models from WLToys. They are really too fast for their own good but great fun anyway. Even though I didn't really manage to get this Monster Truck version up to it's maximum top speed (which of course is a fun goal on it's first test run) since the light weight, large wheels and ground clearence makes it very prone to flipping over, I think the acceleration and managable speed between 1-50 kmph can provide tons of fun.
The conclusion is: 1) Don't expect to be able to run it, out-of-the-box, on tarmac with speeds above 50 kmph, since it will be quite hard to control and most likely flip over. I'm not even sure if it actually can run 70 kmph/43 mph (speed test coming up!). 2) Don't even expect too much control when reaching speeds around 30-50 kmph.
On the other hand: Expect an exceptionally fast model that is fun to bash around with and, in my opinion, seems quite durable and looks very very cool. It has some very nice and modern features compared to the price: Double wishbone suspension, metal drive shafts, polycarbonate body, 2.4 GHz, an included 2S LiPo Battery and more.
Next up is a comparison and GPS speed test competition of the WLToys A979-B (Monster Truck version) and the WLToys A959-B (Buggy Version)! Subscribe and hit the notification bell to stay tuned!
