WLtoys K969 RC Car, Upgraded 500mah Battery x 3, 1/28 Scale 4WD 30KM/H High Speed RC Racing Drift Car for Kids and Adults with Gift Box

Christmas for my boys. Best purchase. Goes over rocks and grass.

Dad loved it, it climbs good too.

It is a total scam. The car is made of very cheap plastic. The engine has no power and arrived broken. The moving parts of the transmission and differentials have a lot of play and are very fragile. The batteries included do not charge. In addition, the upgrades are not compatible with this model. DO NOT BUY IT!!

Fun out of the box! So far after a day of use the truck is holding up well.Pros:- Pretty much ready to go out of the box. You can opt to install decorative accessories like windshield wipers, mirrors, door handles, decals etc- Easy to control and use. My 5yr old was controlling it instantly.- Climbs rocks well!- Affordable and comes with 3 batteries.Cons- Has an annoying hum when running.- Vague instructions- It’s easy to plug the batteries into the charger the wrong way. Did this and melted a battery connection. I’d advise adult supervision when charging.

I'm blown away at this cheap little crawler. WPL really set us up for something here. This crawler is cheap outright because most parts are plastic unless you're buying slightly upgraded versions. Now this is where we have it made, there are countless numbers of upgrade choices for this thing! Everything from chassis upgrades to shocks to two speed transmissions and motor upgrades! Everything can basically be upgraded to metal adding great weight to keep all four on the floor! It can be as cheap or as expensive as you want it to be buy how much you want to invest in it. Out of the box it's amazing and a ton of fun! It's performance over obstacles is fantastic and it's very capable. Doesn't have a ton of speed full throttle but it's a crawler, tons of control at low torque with great response from the remote control it comes with. Mine came with 3 upgraded 1200 mah 7.4 volt lithium ion batteries and these proved PLENTY of battery life for uninterrupted crawling. I wasnt crazy about the side steps so I flipped them around, added longer screws and turned them into rock sliders to protect the really nice body this thing has! I also upgraded the driveshafts to metal for rock protection. I love this purchase and can't wait to dive into it further.

I've previously built a WPL C24-1KM (kit version with metal upgrades and 370 motor) so I knew what I was getting into (including that some tweaking would be required to optimize the performance of the existing toy-grade suspension and running gear) so I have no problem with the vehicle itself. But the included batteries in this bundle are only the standard 500mAh packs using 14500 (basically AA-sized cells) rather than the 18650 cell size that would be required to provide 1200mAh (see the attached pic from another source for reference). I confirmed this by charging one from a fully discharged state with a charger that integrates current over time (a pretty standard feature of hobby-grade chargers). The batteries are are actually labeled "14500/1200mAh" which is just wrong as it's not possible to pack that much capacity into a rechargeable 14500 Li-Ion cell. It's possilbe the seller doesn't know any of this, and believed the label. I requested an exchange for a bundle with 3 batteries that meet the advertised capacity, but received another one with the same small 500mAh batteries. I will just be returning the replacement and letting this go with a note to Amazon that the listing needs to be corrected. Incidentally, I found that the wiring of the included parallel charging cable is incorrectly color coded with the black and red wires on the wrong sides for the connectors but it's wrong on both ends so isn't a problem electrically. Finally, I should add that both the listing and the package should include a clear warning to noobs that the batteries need to be in roughly the same state of charge to be safely connected in parallel. In particular, connecting one fully discharged battery in parallel with two fully charged batteries could easily burn up the cable or even cause a battery fire (!). Really a parallel charging cable should not be included in a product that's likely to be used by children.

Great crawler for medium terrain. Your not going to climb anything crazy with this truck but it’s fun for small hills. The motor on mine did blow up after running it through deep water so would not recommend doing that. But it was easy to find the upgraded motor and since I was at it I got the metal front and rear end. Great truck for the price and would recommend highly.

If you're unsure if it's worth purchasing this, don't be. I went through 3 other "budget drift RC" cars before being told about this brand. I wish I had known, and gone with this from the start. The quality is top notch, and highly customizable with all the parts on Amazon or eBay.Perfect car for learning and branching into more advanced uses. 4wd drifts are easy to pick up, and makes you feel like a pro out of the box. Then when you're ready to branch into rwd drifting, there are mods galore for this brand. Seriously, it would be hard to find a better platform to start from, and it's a perfect car for beginners and amateurs (perhaps even more skilled too, but I'm not so I can't speak to that lol).If you're on the fence like I was, just pull the trigger on this set. The extra batteries are great for rotating through charges, and they last 20 to 30 minutes of ripping around the house.My only complaint is the body is hideous, but the internals are so good, I can easily look past that minor flaw. Plus there are lots of aftermarket options to replace it with, or you can just paint it yourself.
