GoolRC WLtoys 104009 RC Car

Great truck! The only thing is the light system, it looks like it was put together without any regard to convenience. Tires are super grippy, you'll be doing wheelies in no time (Comes with wheelie bar).

Pros: - Looks nice. - Faster and more responsive than I expected. - Comes with everything you need to get started in the box. - Replacement parts are plentiful and inexpensive, even upgraded parts, just not available on Amazon. - Fairly easy to upgrade with Hobby Grade parts. Cons: - Have to order replacement parts from sites like AliExpress or Banggood. - Steering is loose unless you upgrade the servo-saver to the aluminum version. - Standard Radio occasionally loses connection requiring a shut down to resolve. - Standard steering servo is a little bit week. - Battery compartment is small. Larger capacity batteries likely won't fit. I would have preferred no compartment and just a strap to hold it in place under the shell.

Nice rc for the price. 2nd one I've had but the first new one. Good car good quality. Fun little car to operate

Lights need to be worked on but all in all a very good rc. Lots of power and durability.

The car will fall apart on you slowly then eventually everything starts to break. The screws are made out of zinc. How do I know this? I tried to replace a hinge and while I was unscrewing it, the top head came off. Now the hinge is stuck. I dont understand why you would create a product that supposedly can go fast with cheap screws. Everything you see on the YouTube is true though. The truck is fun to drive till it isnt working any longer. Buy at your own risk.

I tried to fix this (I've done this for the 144001 series) but these seem broken by design. they are just very tight and movement locks up. not sure if this was a bad copy or if this is how this series is. the 144010 and 144001 are decent and can be fixed up. this one, I'm not so sure about. I wanted extra space to include inav control. this has space but its too much plastic and not reliable, so I cant trust it even if I find a way to fix the differentials. by the time you upgrade steering to metal and a few other parts, you're way out of this low end price range and you still have a low end car. returning.

Great fun very durable and great entry level rc

Car needed a little setup as expected right out of the box that about 5 min. Item was received quickly and undamaged. Came with 3 batteries, charger, car and instruction manual. I was hoping a few extra parts would be included (my son's did, different brand). Instructions are translated, not well but good enough. Pros: On asphalt the car can easily hit 50 and handles well. Can maintain full speed radius turn there as well. Easily overcomes hills, snow, water, rocks, flowerbeds, curbs and pretty much everything else you expect it to. Cannot wait to see it on a track. Body frame/suspension are tough and well built. Big grabby tires hold fast to all terrain. Haven't pushed the car past 70 yards front remote, but it's still responsive at that range. Handy battery compartment and on/off switch (unlabeled red button, push/hold) Cons: With the frame/suspension being metal and high density resin the attached moving parts become the weak link. Left steering arm snapped at hub link. Totally my fault but still shouldn't have snapped that easily. Battery run time, 20 min at best. Maybe 25. Possibly longer on track.
