I sure had fun this day and enjoying my new little GPS and my small test cars. I did encounter some difficulties getting the A979-B up to speed, since it gets a mind of it's own in high speed and any slight adjustment resulted in a roll over. I started with some one-handed driving but soon had to switch to a tripod for filming. Alas, I still do not think I reached it's maximum top speed. The A959-B takes some time getting used to in high speed, but eventually I managed to do some smooth runs.
Would love to hear your opinion about the WLToys High Speed Models, this speed test or any of your own experience with the cars. Next comparison ... could it be interesting to set the A959-B up next to a Traxxas Mini E-revo? Size comparison? GPS Speed Test? Jump competition?

@TheDIYGuy999 6 лет назад

Cool video. I know, it's pretty much impossible to keep them under control @ high speeds. That's why I designed an Arduino stability control system for 5 pin servos.

@NordicRC 6 лет назад

Thanks, my friend. Yeah, especially the monster truck with those tires. Stability control sounds like a brilliant idea. I need to check those videos out on your channel.

@TheDIYGuy999 6 лет назад

I have also done a partial metal upgrade on the 979b. This lowers its center of gravity.

@NordicRC 6 лет назад

That would definitly help the A979-B! Some other tires would help too. And a stronger servo and servo saver perhaps. It really is difficult (impossible) to control, stock, when it reaches those 50+ kmph.

@creambaeggie7228 6 лет назад

Not true, u need to slowly throttle up and keep it steady , do not apply steering when doing speed passes

@TheDIYGuy999 6 лет назад

@barrysrcdump3557 6 лет назад

Another great Sunday Special, much more entertaining than three year old antiques programs. 😂 This is all good purchasing information. I think I'd give the MT version a miss but the buggy would be a good tool to practice throttle control.

@NordicRC 6 лет назад

Thanks, Grumpy. Ha ha, I beat a three year old antique programme in entertainment value :-) Yeah, just wanted to test them out, stock form. The buggy is doing quite well, compared to the price and size.

Thanks, Derek. Yeah, I'm mostly also only an occasional speed freak too. But when something like this arrives free by post, it's fun to check them out and test them. I was out running my Levant today. With NiMH batteries. Probably did around 25 kmph for real - and I used up 4-5 batteries and enjoyed myself :-) Anything between 10 kmph and 40 and I'm a happy man. Have a great Sunday too, Derek.

@TheBestOrion 5 лет назад

If I had to pick one, I'd definitely go with the A959-B. All of the tumbling that the truck does makes me nervous 🤪 ether way you can't beat the price point for these hobby grade rc's. Also the availability of parts is nice 👍

A959B even looks cooler But i am choosing which one should i pick Because i do not know which is more durable And the 979 is better than the 959 at offroading But the 959 is faster than the 979 But correct me if i am wrong Because that was just my opinion

@TheBestOrion 5 лет назад

@@ernieirishmaghirang they are both pretty durable. It just depends on what you do more. If you like off-road bashing I'd go with the 79. If you like on road speed runs or slalom/tracks, 59 would be the way to go.

@silviamills5218 5 лет назад

When deciding between the monster truck and the buggy what are the pros and cons of both? Which should I buy? Which is better off road? How do they both handle? Which is the toughest? And most importantly which is the most controllable at full speed?

@NordicRC 5 лет назад

In my humble opinion, the buggy with the smaller buggy tires wins it all. The wheels/tires are pretty much the only difference, but it keeps the gearing a little down and keeps the centre of gravity a little down too, which results in better control. The bigger MT wheels has more ground clearance for off road though.

@silviamills5218 5 лет назад

@@NordicRC thx

@MarkBryanRC 6 лет назад

Haha - great fun to watch, Nordic RC Visions! They both seem a little too fast for their own good! ...but then you can always keep off the throttle when you need to - I see what you mean about the Monster Truck version - those taller tyres making it much more unstable. I would be happy if I was given either to play with though! Thumbs up Mikael :-)

@NordicRC 6 лет назад

Thanks, Mark! Yeah, those big tractor tires aren't really high speed material for such a tiny light weighted thing :-) The buggy is doing good though, compared to the price, size and speed. Luckily it mostly just spins around when one loses control with it. But it's hard not to press the throttle and just see what happens :-)

@MarkBryanRC 6 лет назад

The throttle is hard to resist mate :-)

@NordicRC 6 лет назад

On this silly cars it is :-)

@wunderlichD 3 года назад

Aren’t they the same car, chassis, motor battery esc/rec combo? The only difference are the wheels, tires and shell?

@NordicRC 3 года назад

Yeah. Exactly! But changing the wheels/tires can have dramatically effect on stability, ride height and gear ratio.

@RcBasherBoi 6 лет назад

They both run amazing, I'm sure you can upgrade the tires on the truck also check if the servo horn or the servo arm has play if it does then thats why you can't keep it straight. Great video 👍

@NordicRC 6 лет назад

Thanks. my friend. Yeah, I think tires are the key element. The buggy is much more controllable than the MT, and I suspect even better tires on the buggy could make it less prone to spinning. Servo, servo horn and adjustable turn buckles (for toe-in) could also help dramatically. But my spare time is limited, and I have my Tamiyas :-) The WLToys High Speed models are great fun, and I just wanted to test them out bone-stock. I see a lot of other people upgrading them dramatically though. Looks like fun projects.

why is this truck flipping at end of speed runs all the time...??? are they hitting the brakes or turning? i ran fast cars years ago and was able to then turn around after speed pass of 40 plus mph...thax

@NordicRC 3 года назад

Yeah, I can do that easily with many of my other ones, even 2WD. But these are small and flimsy, got a mind of their own, and I also bet I had to hit the brakes full force a couple of times on this small run way.

@thepretiso 3 года назад

Hi I would like to know one thing, I have both models and A959-B has more "stiff" differential, when I move with one wheel, all of them are spinning but on A979-B, the differential is flawless, spins only the opposite wheel. Did you notice this also? I am wondering if this is for purpose or it's just a thing on my specific A959 piece. Thanks!!

@NordicRC 3 года назад

Not sure. I think it’s the same differential. But maybe the grease is different. And sometimes it’s metal and sometimes not, on these b-versions. They are not known for consistency.

@roadstar499 3 года назад

do they have full ball bearings everywhere needed??? or crappy bushings?thanks

@NordicRC 3 года назад

Editions differ a little, but all the ones I have tried so far have bushings in the wheels and bearings inside in the drive line.

@NordicRC 6 лет назад

Yeah, the A959-B is great fun. The A979-B is fun too, just not as capable at high speed on tarmac with the big monster truck tires and the high ground clearence. They actually seem very durable to me and great for bashing. The 979 has taken a lot of tumbles on the tarmac (as shown in this vid) and I’ve bashed and jumped the A959 pretty hard (new video coming up this weekend) without anything broken. Fun toys like you said. Thanks for watching mate!

With the A959-B, I would always recommend pauses. The motor/ESC can get incredible hot. Not much difference between a 1400 mah and 1500 mah, in terms of what an ESC can handle. But check the temp of your motor/ESC as often as you can and let them cool down if needed.

@NordicRC 4 года назад

Well, it all depends on the size. It's relative. A 780 motor is big for a 1/10 and a 540 or 380 is big for a 1/18. But I see that the 380 or 390 is becoming more and more common in 1/18th scale vehicles these days. But back then when this was released, in 2014, even a 390 was considered large for a 1/18th. Normally that's the size for the 1/12th scale.

Yeah, exactly the same except wheels/tires and body (and body mounts). The A959 and A959-B are defintily, in my humble opinion, better and more stable on the street. I'm not sure if the A979 is better off road, but it has more ground clearence and larger tires so in theory it would so better on rougher terrain. But it's a tumbling little car, and likes to flip/roll. The A959 is nice off road too, more stable with a lower center of gravity. You can see the A959 and A959-B off road on the beach in one of my latest videos.

@JSDAlas 5 лет назад

Hi, i'm planning to get either of this 2, is it possible to upgrade it to a brush less motor? thank you!

@NordicRC 5 лет назад

Hello J.D: Yeah, you can easily upgrade it to a brushless motor, although it would require you to change all the other electronics as well (radio, servo, esc). These come with a brushed 2-in-1 ESC/Receiver and a non-standard 5-wire servo, so if you change the motor to brushless you will have to change the ESC to brushless and get a new separate radio (receiver/transmitter) and standard servo that fits your receiver. Many of the pinion gears are hard to get off the stock motor, so you might need a new pinion too and preferably a steel one.

@JSDAlas 5 лет назад

@@NordicRC well that abit of complicated thing to do.. im about to enter this hobby, came from drone to rc stuffs.. will you suggest this as a beginners rc? Im looking forward to get a nitro rc in the future. But i need learn more about rc's cars 1st. Am i doing it right?

@NordicRC 5 лет назад

Yeah, well, I think the standard A959 (which I have measured to around 40 kph, check out my other video series with it in my channel) would be a good beginner RC. But just take note that these small 1/18 cars will get in trouble quickly on rough off road terrain. And even 40 kph with a small 1/18 can seem fast for a beginner, but once you get a hang of it, it can be fun too. You definitely do not need to upgrade it to a brushless system right away. And brushed motors can actually be just as fast as brushless motors, it depends on the RPM specified on the individual motor. But brushless motors are good for getting some "punch" (torque, acceleration) and they are more durable/maintenance free and normally consume less battery (if set up against a brushed with the same RPMs). But an A959 will be an affordable way to try out a little hobby-grade RC car for the first time, that is at the same time fast.

Which car should I buy A959 or A979

@lesleyrcfun 6 лет назад

Nice little fast cars! Seems a bit unstable at high speed. maybe shock oil, foam inserts or sway bars?

@NordicRC 6 лет назад

They are pretty dun :-) The buggy is definitly the most reliable of the two. Yes, that would definitly help. Maybe also a set of new tires, stronger servo and servo saver, and then some turn buckles to adjust the toe-in. I doubt I will find time to work on these though. These are great fun but my Tamiyas are waiting :-) Thanks for watching again, Lesley.

Good stuff buddy, I love these A959B and 79B series from wltoys.. I done some speed tests on mine.. My A959B managed 56.2kph on stock 2s running slightly different semi slick tyres and threw a 3s in it and got just over 64kph.

@NordicRC 5 лет назад

Nice! Hope you’re having fun with it. The buttons on the remote are for trimming. One for steering (left/right) and one for throttle (forwards/reverse). So if your A959 steers a little to the left (without you steering it) you can trim it to the right. If your A959 moves a little forward or reverse (without you touching the throttle) you can trim it and find the neutral position.

@silviamills5218 5 лет назад

@NordicRC 3 года назад

Thank you Rohan! For me, I like the buggy version A959-B best myself. Lower center of gravity, smaller wheels, more control. But I even like the standard version better. Smaller motor, lower gear ratio. Still fast, less heat, more control, more run time.

@stuart_nkd4174 4 года назад

Why the buggy is more speed than the monster truck?

@NordicRC 4 года назад

Because the Monster Truck is more unstable and on this confined space I had trouble with getting it up to speed. But you are right, bigger wheels/tires means a higher gear ratio, which theoretically should provide more top speed for the MT.

I can't tell for sure, but the B-version has a standard 540 and a 540 type motor mount. So if your motor is a 540 Type it will most likely fit. Sometimes there are problems though. I remember trying to mount a Traxxas Titan 550 in a Tamiya and the motor shaft was too long.

Really curious how they cab achieve speeds that cars that cost twice as much can't. Would gutting the electronics, and putting them in a 1/12 or 1/10 be feasible. I have a brushless 1/10 scale truck that I got for $129, and by completely disassembling, and lubricating every moving part with either synthetic oil, or lithium Grease, and sanding out rough parts, and trying to balance the tires, that I can get 54 KM/H on a flat surface. I'd buy the 959B in a second if I could bump my 1/10 truck up to 64 KM/H by swapping in the 959B electronics.

@NordicRC 4 года назад

Yeah, well, it's a matter of the weight of the car, gear ratio, voltage and rpm of the motor. So if you put the same electronic set-up in another heavier car with a lower gear ratio, it will not go as fast. I think 54 is a good speed. Usually I set up my 1/10 brushless models up with a gear ratio of about 9:1 and to go about 35-45 kph. It's a good speed for both off road and on road. Not too fast, not too slow.

@larrydommer9109 4 года назад

@@NordicRC I'm pretty aware of most of that. I started racing when speed controls were a wrapped copper tube with a servo slider. I had a gear drawer with at least 30 pinion and drive gears. Motors were all brushed and either 28 turn stock, or modified with armature winds as low as 12. Now I race (I shouldn't even say "race"). Now I run for fun and try to buy the chinese junk, and see if I can tune, and/or modify it to perform like the expensive stuff I claim I can't afford anymore. I'm glad I don't have to track The hours I have in my truck that I can squeeze 54KM/H out of. I'm sure you can empathize. Sometimes I'll spend all day or (all week-shhhh) working on something, only to come up with an innovation, that doesn't resemble the idea. Anyway - I've been thinking about this too long now. Time to get the credit card out, and build a hybrid.
