I wonder if they geared it differently because of the size? I threw the A959's motor into my Bandit just to see how it would run in a tenth scale buggy. It performed about the same as a Dynamite 15 turn 540 which was decent. So it's not a torque monster like the Titan 550 is. But I'm definitely getting one of these if the price is right! Biggest selling point is handling which the 959 didn't do so well.

It's so smooth and strong looking I love it

Really appreciate the video, can you check what is the biggest battery in dimension can be use in it?

Nice video. 💯👍🏻 Man I’m really liking this one. I don’t think I’ll get rid of the a959b but it give me time to install a gyro in it and I’ll still have something to drive. 😂

144001 is so sophisticated that it is easily worth $150. It is perfectly balanced between front and rear, and is exceedingly resistant to flipping. And quite a nice, accurate review.

That thing reminds me of the old school metal framed 4wd dune buggy I bought years ago at a garage sale cheap. It was very fast, had lots if spares and oil shocks. It turns out it was some kind of almost pro level RC and is probably now very collectable. I can't remember the maker right now but it was mid to late 80s car and has lots of extra parts, motors, original box, and has a home made carrying carrier box and a AC/12 volt charger. Original owner must have been racing it on the indoor tracks and fixing and modifying it. I'd have to go out in my mini barn shed to see what it is but it also had a chain drive and one of the sprockets finally stripped out.

Ya know I think I had two rc cars and I'm getting them mixed together. I believe the first one I found was the RC 10, then a bit later I found a 4wd slightly newer buggy that worked and also had some spares. The newer one blew a drive sprocket but I'm pretty sure the RC 10 still works but I haven't done anything but sit them on the shelf and take them with me when I moved. Been at least 10 years since I used them other than look at them occasionally when I'm out poking through my storage. Now I need to find the other one and see what it is too. The 10 was a bit easier to remember because I got it with its original box and probably has the manual and everything. I didn't pop the box open but it's heavy so it's in there. I think the other one is in that carrier box with some model cars in boxes and parts as I was stashing stuff wherever they would fit when I moved. Fun trying to remember all the toys I have stashed around after all these years.

Great review. I've seen these around a few channels and everyone has good things to say about it. I see a lot of potential in that chassis for some custom builds, same as the LC, I believe.

Yes, it's fast, tough and handles so well!

It also depends on the driver, you can have a chafa car but you can take advantage of it, knowing how to drive it no matter what the car is like.

I found the OEM for this buggy, it's Tacon Soar 1/14 If my guess is right, we might also be getting a rebranded Tacon Thriller 1/14 (Short Course Truck), Tacon Ranger 1/14 (Rally Car) and Tacon Valor 1/14 (Monster Truck) to complete the 14400 series of WLToys

What a huge motor for such a modestly-sized buggy. Having said that, I agree that good handling trumps power when it comes to assessing the "enjoyability to drive" of an RC car.
