Guys, B is definitely overkill, I have one (it's A979) and I would love to try the A version. I was thinking that it would be definitely more controllable and this video confirmed it to me. BUT - I still thinks that it's better to have the B version because if you can manage the throttle, you can control the car pretty well and you still have the power when you need it (really lot of power). When it comes to the operating characteristics, it really heats. Motor and ESC (I burned one). The power have it's price and all parts are more abused. So if you want to have it more casual, go for the A.

@NordicRC

Yeah, definitely overkill but can be quite fun. I don’t have the necessary throttle control so I prefer the standard. The A-version is a bit too slow though, with the LiFe battery. And the heat issue, amount of torque and limited run time with the B-version is a bit too ridiculous 🙂 But yeah, can still be quite fun 😂

Could be fun to get a temp-gun and and try it out :-) I think the A959-B is good for crazy-fast 1/18the scale on road speed runs, but the A959 is actually a very enjoyable fast and managable off road buggy. thanks for watching, my friend.

Great vid Mikael. Lovely shots at the beach. I was expecting a step 7 of repairing the cars which is normally what happens ! Looks like these do pretty well on the beach and so cheap that you probably don't worry about them getting ruined by sand and salt. I can't believe that the quick one goes 43mph! The Tamiyas I have with 2S lipo and 3500kv brushless go between about 30mph and 36mph depending on gearing and they look really quick. My Firestorm on 3S got to 52mph and it looked amazingly quick but I did end up breaking it :-( Anyway it looks like you are getting your moneys worth out of these. Especially as you got them for free ! Good work mate :-)

If one can avoid the curbs and trees they, for the money, are pretty durable. 70 kph is the specifications, which with these kind of cars never really hold up. But in a couple of earlier speed run videos I got it up to 58 kph, which is more than fast enough for this one. But yeah, a couple of my Brushless Tamiyas also run between 40-50 kph so 58 kph with such a little one as this feels incredibly fast. Crazy uncontrollable fast, but still fun. The standard edition is much more managable and better for the everyday run I think. Yeah, it’s a lot of fun trying these cars out :-) Thanks for watching, my friend :-)

Love your videos mate, great production. I have a question about the differences between the 2 cars. I'd like to know if there are any gearing ratio differences between them? Essentially I want to know if I can put the smaller motor in the B version and have it run the same speed as when in the original version. I'd prefer the metal diff cups and larger stock battery but the slower speed and longer run time. Also do you know of good drop in replacement batteries for these cars? Preferably as large as is sensible to stick in there.

@NordicRC

5 жыл бұрын

Thanks, Danny! You can check out my other videos with the A959 and A959-B. Got a complete disassembly of them both where you can see the gearing differences and other stuff. If you want to convert your B-version to the standard I'm afraid you need more stiff than the motor: Besides the smaller 390 motor you need a 390 motor mount, new pinion gear and spur gear (because yes, there is a massive gear ratio difference between the two). I haven't really found (or been looking too much) for replacement batteries. The other smaller ones I got (even other 1500 mah) are still bigger than the stock 1500 mah. But with the 1500 mah and the 390 motor and lower gearing one could get a descent amount of run time. Or better yet, get more 1500 mah stock batteries, run them one by one and let the motor cool down between the runs.

Upgrading to alloy is super fun and can be a fun project in itself, so for the project itself, I recommend it. But performance wise, the truth is that flexible plastic sometimes is the best choice for weight reasons and durability.

I like A959 A more than B as it has more run time and the motor is very good

@NordicRC

Probably the B would provide the same fun as the A if throttle is constantly been managed conservatively. But I also think that having that extra edge just for the fun of getting over the verge of overpower is not worth the extra weight. The 390 seems to be the ideal balance. Thanks for helping me choose! Now the doubt is: 959 / 969 / 979? Will there be a full range comparative video ? 🤔 or... am I too demanding? 😅

@NordicRC

5 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I think you are right, but I often find it hard to keep that throttle-finger under control :-) I am quite used to accelerating slowly, and slowing down in turns etc., but it's just so hard7too tempprting not to give it full throttle once you get it up in speed. And that's where it becomes un-managable. So you described it perfectly, the 390 is more than enough and as an extra bonus the weight is reduced and one gets a much longer run time. And I do enjoy running a car where I do not have to worry constantly about accelerating too fast or not giving it full throttle. Ha ha, that could be cool. All the A9X9s in one video :-) I'm afraid I don't have an A979 anymore. And never tried the A969. But it could be fun some time in the future to line them all up - but I have limited storage space for RCs, and my Tamiyas fill up the most :-) Hope someone else will do it for us. Could be fun. I have some plans with some other A959s for this series though, and already got one more, an old standard version, to compare it with this one, the new A959.

@TheActionBastard

If you could find an ESC and rx combination that fit nicely in the space (i've seen a few that might manage it) you could swap over to something like the FlySky i6/i10/etc and use dual rates to hard limit your throttle input. Would solve a ton of problems. I've got a momentary flip switch I'd use for "boost" mode which would just unlock my throttle again and "boost" me. Some tuning and you could have your first setting be idiot-proof (hand it off to a kid who doesnt know how to handle that much speed yet) and the booster setting for fun time... not like you could boost into a turn anyway, right? Would just spin/flip.

I will get the B, the reason is that usually a ridiculously overpowered RC car costs over $400 and I just don't have that kind of money. But this is cheaper than my LaTrax and goes way faster than my Traxxas Rustler. And even if the regular has better handling because it weighs less I already have a LaTrax and it handles great. So I think if you're just getting one RC car get the regular one but I'm getting the B.

Heard a lot of good stuff about them. One day maybe :-) Thanks a lot for watching, Sir.

Nice! They are actually going well at the beach. Love these little beasts. And OMG the B verision is just TOO fast! I think that is a little too much power for such a small car. Definitely recommend the standard verision if you want a little bit more controll over it. But if you want to go crazy! Get the other one. Greate video!😁👍🏻

just lucked out, scored an A979 (390 power) from Amazon 30 bucks shipping included, ball bearings for the outers and 12 mm hex mounts on the way, for giggles a set of disc rims and drift tires that will narrow it up a bit, already have slightly taller+narrower rally tires to slap onto it after the 12 mm hex's arrive too. for a chassis this small, 390 power is really more than enough to scramble, 540 is beyond crazy for these.

@NordicRC

That seems like a great score! And yeah, for the everyday run the 390 is plenty for this. Apart from some fun speed tests (where the crazy speed of the A959-B can prove fun) I definitely prefer the standard edition.

The age old decision between straight lines and being able to ever turn. :P Given my propensity for combat games with RC vehicles speed is sometimes my friend, but more often I would prefer torque and control. Weave and dodge circles around other vehicles never giving them time to shoot. (You read that right. Shoot. I absolutely meant it, but please do not attempt this yourself. I'm not a professional, but I am responsible only for me and refuse to accept responsibility for you as well. All projectile combat sports happen via FPV and from the safety of concrete bunkers because we enjoy living. CO2 airguns are more than enough to really mess up your day/life or worse: that of others around you.) However, it's hard to just dismiss that raw speed. Certainly would replace the transmitter with something more advanced. Use dual rate control to have fast/slow settings... would also remove their rather sad looking ESC/rx from the vehicle. All those transistors crammed up against each other. mehhhh

Upon further inspection (as much as I can without having one physically in front of me anyhow) it does indeed look like there is plenty of space in the tray for a new ESC and receiver. Only issue is I have no real idea what the amp spec on that motor is. 40 would probably do fine, but I hate guessing.

@NordicRC

Hi WIlliam. Yeah, with these ones the specs are always not clear. My guess would be 40-45A too.

This car may be fine to us on sand but. Most people do not live on a beach if you try to us at your local football field it's low ground clearance is insufficient unless the grass has just been cut it just sits with its wheels spinning if you try to use in a paved environment the high-speed coupled with its fragile plastic wheels means that the wheels break off the kerb stone or wall it hits My model broke after only 10 minites of road us This review is misleading

@NordicRC

Really sorry (and strange) you feel that way. Too bad about your car. Never run your RC’s near walls or curbs if you don’t want to break them and repair them. Got tons of videos with these cars, the A959/A969/A979. On gravel. On pavement. On grass. In jumps. And all cars have a high risk braking when crashing them into walls and curbs. It’s a known fact. Especially small cheap ones. I almost never ever run my RC’s in streets with curbs etc.

I have had 2 Nikko 9.v slot in battery rc cars for fifteen years they came with metal wheels they have been used hundred times plus and have hit walls and kerbs at least a thousand times plus. They may not be super fast bu they are fit for purpose to use in an urban envionment this A5955 b is ridiculous and the wheels break the first kerb and grounds out on a football pitch so how can it be fit for purpose.?????? Wl toys need to make this model with larger wheels with metal hubs then it will be an OK car as a reviewer you should have picked this up yourself before recommend it to other users as it stand the car in its present form is only good on sand and dried out mud.

Ha ha ha, good luck finding a channel where you dictate where people should run their cars and the only good activity is running their cars into curbs like you do and no cars without metal hubs are allowed ... so ridiculous ... This is just my hobby and I (and every other channel I know) run our cars where we want to. Please find another channel.
