Remote Control Racing Fun With Wltoys A969 RC Short Course Trucks

By Rosella Campbell


Short course racing is the fastest growing racing in RC, attracting large numbers of newcomers but also gaining the interest of the top professional hobbyists. There are three main classes for short course - spec, 2WD and 4WD. The 2WD and 4WD classes have their own set of rules dictating what kind of motor and battery can be used, while the spec class differs from track to track.

Remote controlled Short course trucks are a great way to get into RC racing because they handle like the trucks they are modeled after. This type of RC vehicle also costs less than the more traditional RC vehicle types, so they make great toys for any RC enthusiast who is budget, but also quality, conscious. The wltoys a969 is a short course, 4WD truck that fits into this category; it performs really well, both indoors and outdoors, and has a number of attractive features.

This 1:18 scale model can be driven to a top speed of 50 km/h powered by a 390 motor. Weighing in at a total of 1.7 kg, it operates at 2.4 GHz, a higher transmission frequency. It can be controlled remotely at distances of more than 100 m, for up to 10 minutes on battery power. It is scaled to the exact proportions of the real truck, which means that it will have a very similar look and feel, making it more realistic.

Other special features of the a969 truck include four-wheel independent suspension, two differentials and 4-wheel shock absorbers, for excellent handling on rough surfaces, as well as proportional steering function to help give the road feel and steering control of a real truck.

The a969 is available in two different colors. The green and black one stands out more than the silver and orange one, but they are both attractive and each will appeal to different peoples. Either version would be great to give as a gift to the budding hobbyist.

Short course trucks are built tough, making them ideal for standing up to bashing, which is where the more traditional vehicles fail. Moreover, their setup is designed more with traction in mind - unlike the traditional types - and hence come with larger tires that also help to keep the vehicle steady on the track and in a clash. This feature makes racing a lot more realistic as well as fun, but it also enables them to be driven on most tracks, where short course tires are needed.

This wltoys RC car comes with a transmitter, charger and battery, and instructional manual. These cars are a great investment and will provide the enthusiast with many hours of off-roading fun. They are also a great way to spend time with friends, or in racing competitions at local short course tracks.

The a969 RC truck is great for backyard bashing, off-roading on more rugged terrains, or racing on larger tracks. They make superior race vehicles as well as being more affordable than other RC types, so are a great choice for both experienced and beginner hobbyists alike.
