@@xxers55nexxon75 lol. Hey bro!! Haha. Great comment. This is an older vidro and before the Nitrogang trademark name lol. Watch the newer vids, lotts of runing rich and loud! 2-speed baby
This is a great cheap car if you want something really fast, though it does take some practice to control as is twitchy on the steering. A wide large turning circle is not an issue on something so fast.
adjustable front links help with steering a little if you straighten the tow , alloy chassis and oil in the shocks help too as for the esc well I got a 320a one on ebay for £5 a mini servo at the same money and changed the radio out for an old ftx set I had ....... I also changed the shaft ends to allow 12mm hex and run road tyres on alloys :):) oh and almost forgot replace the 2 pins in the 979a model steering links with nut and bolt (drill through chassis and spine plate ) saves a hunt after a heavy roll :)
I'm new to RC cars so I have that problem. Another problem I have is when I put my A979b back together the differential assemblies appear to be in disagreement with each other. I found this out after applying just a little juice to the throttle the car wanted to twist onto itself! Didn't break anything yet but ran out of time for the day. Is the cause of this from me putting one of the differentials in the wrong way?
I have a few of these 1/18 wl toys. First good upgrade is adjustable suspension/steering links to fix toe or camber issues (about $10). You don't need to replace all, just a few to fix issues. Next is replace metal bushings in wheel hubs with ball bearings for smoother driving (about $6). Remote tip...all the wl toys 1/18, 1/24 and 1/28 scale use same remote and work with each other.
I guess the correct term is the Rods. WLtoys Upgrade Metal Adjustable Rods. The stock ones are plastic and a fixed size. The kit comes with 6 rods. I found the kit on banggood.com. Search for WLtoys Upgrade Metal Adjustable Rods. They cost about $11. The site also has a lot of upgrade parts as well.
I haven´t had any issues with the remote with WLToys cars but the steering mechanism is really bad! I´ve got the "normal" version and have put some metal parts onto it but didn´t improve the steering to go straight. But i´m still happy since it was so cheap and it just looks cool in my collection.
on my A979b the steering angle is much narrower than yours; the remote controller works perfectly and never loses the signal. The flexible chassis and the front wheels not firmly fixed are indeed real problems but can be solved with metal upgrades of chassis and steering arms. You didn't mention the battery autonomy which is quite low but I solved the problem by connecting in parallel the 2 batteries supplied (one above the other) through a parallel deans adapter so that I have same voltage and double amperage (1500+1500) the belt is enough to secure both; or you can also install a 2100/2200mah battery which can fit in the car.
yes, yo can make tight turns with the help of the terrible handling chassis. LOL. Also called a spinout, due to the very tight diffs. Im soon going to be converting the entire electronic system to standard 10th scale electronics, mine is faulty.
i just assumed since the car was so quick they made it steer less so it would be easier to control without changing the trim for high speed. that chassis flex is crazy though!
You can buy an alloy chassis from Banggood for $15 AUD.. In fact you can upgrade the whole car to alloy or carbon for about $100 AUD.. So one of these upgraded is still about $400 AUD cheaper than a traxxas mini e revo which you have to spend $$$ on anyway..
hybrid32494 dude it’s more slop than the chassis I installed an aluminium frame and it changed nothing. Stop it do more research man cause your assumptions are just way off. And not only the slop but the servo is probably not that strong come on it’s only 80 bucks. Look I own the HPI RS4 and it’s chassis is solid as a rock and it still steers like 💩. So you are way off on what you are blaming for the bad steering. Way more issues than just the chassis.
"Nickel metal HYDRIDE".... "hydroxide" is a different chemical!!💥💯🤪 Great review👍I have the a959b, and the flex is just RIDICULOUS! The steering's all over the place, I tighten re-tighten, wheels fall off on some runs, the diff cups have been flying out, the radio glitches!! Yup for $70 or whatever dollars, I paid $70 for mine, they give you a "taste" of what REAL MONEY $150+ dollar cars, brushless etc feel like. So....if you have the money to graduate from this level, Kool👍!, If NOT.....then... just be happy with what you've got going on with your WL Toys upgrades! The infamous a959, a979 chassis!!🙈
just gonna give some more info for those who want to buy this in the future, buy a metal mid shaft and metal gears as well. my mid shaft broke the 2. day and the plastic gears make a diffrent sound after a few minutes and they are loose.
hey buddy!!, good advice. My shafts are still fine, although there is a lot of slippage in the gears. I've ordered a new metal diff set for this, only cost 10 bucks. Gonna do a video on that soon, seems to be a common issue with these.
i bought this toy for my son and after couple of minutes something started to burn, i smelled smoke. Now it doesnt work. Do anyone have any ideas what could it be. Where can i get spare parts for this car?
hey buddy! Mine eventually started smoking and went on fire. I have since converted to running a basic 1/10 brushless system. This might be a good future option for you. thanks for watching.
Just bought a 959 and a 979 for my daughter and I. Both units seem to have super low range. Maybe 200ft before they cut out. Is that a weak transmitter?
hey buddy!!!, thanks!! I'm currently working on converting the fault ESC/RX unit to a normal brushed ESC and flysky radio system. This was I'll be finally able to test the top speed.
I just bought one but mine has electric problmes so ill send it back from where i boight it theyll give me another one but without the problems it is a perfect car it has very nice speed and offroad capeabilities
hey man, I highly recommend this one, Watch this video, you will be much happier with this model. th-cam.com/video/GrQlegz4P7s/w-d-xo.html. Click the link in the video to make sure you get the correct brushless model, there are other models, this is the one to get.
hey buddy! No, I don't run non-hobby grade RCs like this in water or anything other than ideal conditions. All my stuff is in ideal shape, I respect RCs, whether they are expensive or cheap like this, you know. Anyway, currently I have a full brushless system in this thing, and it still sucks, LOL.
@@hybrid32494 that car is Hobby grade it can be modified or taken apart. You're surrounded by water on Long island that's why I said maybe humidity damage ha! Nitro gang over and out.
I really don’t see anything bad about the car I bought it for $65 including shipping and it screws it rips. the steering could be better it is really flexible but that’s pretty good considering It has a huge motor your going to be smashing things. It does a backflip wot take offs. It being flexible is good for this over powered monster. 20$ in upgrades and it’s bulletproof. I got 2 extra batteries after I ordered it
have you noticed how bad the turning radius is. If you compare it to any other RC you will see that it's horrible. Still a god RC for the money, I currently am installing a full 5800KV brushless system into it. That will be fun...... LOL.
i did you know the gear is suck when i start to play i try to go for some off road the gear will make some loud noise and the small stone will get in to the gear lastly the gear will finish
hey man!! Yes that is a common issue on these and many other types of RCs. It really has not happened to me becuase I dont drive this on sand or dirt. You should use hot glue all around the spur gear vocer where there are openings, see if that helps.
hey buddy!!!. I've made a few updates on this RC, converted to run full 1/10 scale electronics with a new metal gear servo. And guess what?? Steering is still terrible. It's not really the servo's fault, the steering geometry is poor and the plastic parts are very flimsy. I am upgrading to 1/10 scale hubs and will soon use 1/10 scale racing wheels, we will see.
Also with it being so fast if it turn that hard when ur moving that fast it will flip Everytime. That way the steering isn't so tight. Plus the body flex issue I ordered the metal replacement body for 13 dollars. No problem with my remote.
@@hybrid32494 I tried to find the link but I couldn't download Ali Express and type in a979b upgrade parts and they have everything metal for that truck it's pretty amazing
Hello!! thanks for watching!! The steering angle is poor at any speed, but really noticeable at low speed. You can lower the steering dual rate, but the max steering throw is still very short.
The steering angle is poor because the design is poor. The suspension is too narrow to allow for any real steering movement. This combined with a short wheelbase and lots of chassis flex makes for an unstable platform. Years ago (about 16 years ago) Team Losi used to make a 1/18th scale RWD Stadium truck with a low turn 380 sized motor. With much smaller wheels then this A979 but properly designed and scaled down chassis and suspension those little Losi trucks had no issues being stable at speed (they could reach about 30mph), the only issue was any bump they hit became and issue due to the small scale. These chinese models are cool and all, but they're still full of design flaws. They're made with cheap materials and the engineering and labor that goes into these RC's is very limited. I mean how much would you care if you weren't even getting paid enough to have a pot to piss in?
I don't really drive any of my Rc cars till the battery is dead, not good to go to such low discharge. I usually don't do more than 5 min with these small batteries and high powered motors. You can prob get 10 min with normal driving though.
Just do what i did i bought a new esc of the same type, around 10 bucks Australian and open up an old phone with copper sheet cos im a tight arse and carefully solder to the transistors coming out of the esc . Mine gets luke warm now and buy a cheaf blower to cool the thing down if you're paranoid like me 😊 works wonders .good luck have a great day
hey man, you're right. I did that many times. I basically had a faulty and glitch ESC. This car has since been converted to run a nice 5200 KV 1/10 scale brushless system. Super fast now. Check out the vids on this if you get a chance.
Hello, I checked the antenna, it looks fine. I am in the process of installing a new brushed ESC, a servo and a diff radio system. Should fix the issue. Thanks!!!
a pleasure and it seems a regular thing with the transmitter ! but tbh I have almost finished doing mine now and with a little chinese ebay polish it is a mini beast! it is getting a 45a brushless system then i will put a carrier bed on my Nero so it can ride on that when the battery dies :)
kingbro2 hello. Yes the motor will be warm to hot under normal conditions. It should not be hot to the point where you cant physically touch it though.
that would be a great idea. I guess they consider the 12428 to be in that segment. But that's a completely diff RC. Ironically enough they are only about 10-20 dollars more expensive for the 1/12 scale 12428.
@@hybrid32494 yess they make buggy , monster truck and a short course cars with b versions but the just can't handle that much power in such little body
hello, I'd recommend the WL Toys 12428, it's a good all around 1/12 scale RTR rock racer type rc. Check the top speed runs on my channel I did on it, and all the cool features it has. Usually you can get them for 70 on eBay with free shipping.
@@hybrid32494 I did and it will only stayed trimmed for a while. and I also check no binding on all the linkage by removing the wheel first. Do you know how to improve the steering performance of this v959?
ther eis just too much slop in this whole system. Mine steers badly too, it;s somethign we gotta accept. You can get metal turnbuckle links that will reduce some slop, and also remove the servo saver with a regualr steering horn.
hey buddy!!, I got one or order now from gear best. Really hate to have to get a receiver for this POS tho, but gotta do that. Any malfunction and you gotta upgrade the entire thing, other than motor. In that regard, not very beginner friends, right?
Yea for sure but at this point if you keep your cost low you can get some good care free footage lol. Might aswell since it's DOA with the cheap electronics. Nice work on the vid btw.
Dude are you kidding me. In 2018 and obviously owning more than one RC, you don’t know enough to turn on your radio first and then your ESC? That’s why it’s going into full throttle man, come on get it together. It even says to turn on in that order on the manual. Remember transmitter first and then ESC. And to turn off you do it in reverse, turn off ESC then the transmitter. Good luck man you need it
mike sipes Good point, i should have started taking my own advice wen i made this video about a year ago. Ive still got this wltoys and now it has a 5200kv btushless system in it. Now my resources are devoted to nitro and gas rcs. Lol.
some of the WL toys, mainly the 390 motor size ones came with the LI-ION pack, but the better 540 style ones came with the 2S lipo. I might have made a speaking mistake when I said that part, but either way, WL TOYS IS DEAD on this channel, so lets move on......
hey man! That is a good question. I still have this one btw, and currently running a crazy 5200 brushless system. Its a fun RC for what they are. Ofcourse it's got its flaws as well, check out my other vids on it.
Thanks for this. Looks like I'll be skipping these small chinese RC's all together. I'll just buy name brand RC products and pay more. I beat the shit out of my Traxxas stuff and even my cheapest XL5 Bandit for $159 doesn't give me any issues.
hey man!! thanks for watching!! These are not bad for the money, they are just so cheap and do ok for the most part. Just don't try to spend too much on upgrades and you will be fine. If you get the buggy version of this, you will be quite happy. It drives a little better and seems higher than this one.
You must have received a faulty RC right out of the box dude because I purchased mine from Amazon for$ 80 and I don't experience none of these problems that you're having Banggood sells very crappy cheaply made RC that's constantly having problems I purchase one RC from them a while back and I would never buy another RC from them again!
hello, yes the esc did eventually malfunction. I have since converted this to run a 5200KV brushless system. This is insane, gonna do speed runs soon. This might be the fastest one of these on youtube.
So I’m trying to get me my first REAL RC. the only stuff I’ve ever had was like new bright Walmart normal double a battery RC cars... I know NOTHING about these kinds of cars with big batteries and all that. Should I buy this

ther eis just too much slop in this whole system. Mine steers badly too, it;s somethign we gotta accept. You can get metal turnbuckle links that will reduce some slop, and also remove the servo saver with a regualr steering horn.
If you want to make the wltoys handle better check this out.

I agree with in rhe most part with your review...I would however add that for 40 bucks its just for messing about.
Bro you should just get an eBay brushed esc for 10 bucks and a servo and bash it and film it.
hey buddy!!, I got one or order now from gear best. Really hate to have to get a receiver for this POS tho, but gotta do that. Any malfunction and you gotta upgrade the entire thing, other than motor. In that regard, not very beginner friends, right?
Yea for sure but at this point if you keep your cost low you can get some good care free footage lol. Might aswell since it's DOA with the cheap electronics. Nice work on the vid btw.
Also if you get decent ones that are waterproof you can reuse the upgrades
yes, totally agree. Did you see that turning radius, WTF is that. How come nobody has mentioned this issue in any other video on this RC.
That was to true
Dude are you kidding me. In 2018 and obviously owning more than one RC, you don’t know enough to turn on your radio first and then your ESC? That’s why it’s going into full throttle man, come on get it together. It even says to turn on in that order on the manual. Remember transmitter first and then ESC. And to turn off you do it in reverse, turn off ESC then the transmitter. Good luck man you need it
I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU WERE NOT GOING TO BUY THOSE CHEAP RC CARS AND TRUCK
mike sipes Good point, i should have started taking my own advice wen i made this video about a year ago. Ive still got this wltoys and now it has a 5200kv btushless system in it. Now my resources are devoted to nitro and gas rcs. Lol.
, 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
I thought the WLtoys came with a Li-ion battery and not a LiPo battery
some of the WL toys, mainly the 390 motor size ones came with the LI-ION pack, but the better 540 style ones came with the 2S lipo. I might have made a speaking mistake when I said that part, but either way, WL TOYS IS DEAD on this channel, so lets move on......
@@hybrid32494 lol ok
Should I get one??????? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
hey man! That is a good question. I still have this one btw, and currently running a crazy 5200 brushless system. Its a fun RC for what they are. Ofcourse it's got its flaws as well, check out my other vids on it.
@@hybrid32494 right on...👍. Im picking one of them up......wltoys has what I'm looking for i think...I'll check out your other videos.....
@@hybrid32494 almost forgot...... You got your self a New Sub...Dude.✌️😎.
@@johnwayne666 thanks man! Glad to have you here! I love this hobby and am always happy to help anybody out.
I just don’t like the wheels on the WLToys I
Thanks for this. Looks like I'll be skipping these small chinese RC's all together. I'll just buy name brand RC products and pay more. I beat the shit out of my Traxxas stuff and even my cheapest XL5 Bandit for $159 doesn't give me any issues.
hey man!! thanks for watching!! These are not bad for the money, they are just so cheap and do ok for the most part. Just don't try to spend too much on upgrades and you will be fine. If you get the buggy version of this, you will be quite happy. It drives a little better and seems higher than this one.
@@hybrid32494 which model buggy version do you mean?
You must have received a faulty RC right out of the box dude because I purchased mine from Amazon for$ 80 and I don't experience none of these problems that you're having
Banggood sells very crappy cheaply made RC that's constantly having problems I purchase one RC from them a while back and I would never buy another RC from them again!
They are 1/18 not 1/16
Esc is defective
Change the esc
hello, yes the esc did eventually malfunction. I have since converted this to run a 5200KV brushless system. This is insane, gonna do speed runs soon. This might be the fastest one of these on youtube.
So I’m trying to get me my first REAL RC. the only stuff I’ve ever had was like new bright Walmart normal double a battery RC cars... I know NOTHING about these kinds of cars with big batteries and all that. Should I buy this
