This video shows you, how to do a crazy fast brushless conversion on a Wltoys A959 4WD Vortex buggy.
As always, I will use my DIY open source Arduino 2.4GHz „Micro RC“ remote control system.
The original shocks will also be replaced.

Hi guys. My longest video so far. Hope you like it. Please tell me your opinion. Thanks
TheDIYGuy999 all the parts in this video, How much did you spend? And did you have to buy a new Lipo battery?
TheDIYGuy999 have by any chance place a metal gear herd it suppose to keep the run smooth and tight.
long or short is enjoyed equally. Thank you
What gears did you end up putting in to replace the stripped gears, part numbers please:)
What dp and how many teeth for pinion and spur gear
Awesome job. Runs strong!
Nice upgrade. Nice run with the WLtoys. 👍👍
I have 3 Remo Smax. they are great once i upgraded the shocks to oil. very durable trucks.
That thing is a rocket ship! Great work!
Yes, it‘s faaaaaaaast
This looks really easy. Might make my a959b brushless In the future.
They go hard anyway for brushed ey.
Awesome upgrade/video sir...i have a959b...i was wondering what different model motor i can use,so i dnt have to change the bore..keep up great content...thx for ur help
Great video.......
Thanks 🙏
You‘re welcome
Looks like you need some down force now. Side fins and front splitter to help it make steady fast turns with out flipping.
Nice video! What other wheels can fit on there?
So sick.. this car is amazing
Yes, it is
TheDIYGuy999 I really think I am going to be this. Sick video
Great Video, Love mine, put a better brushed motor & pinion & made it blazing fast.
Thanks. Yest, this thing is a blast
Really good video awsome emotionless voice lol but try upgrading the A959-b
I’m planning on installing a brushless system with a 540/550 size motor and run up to 4s lipo in the short course version of your buggy. It’s gonna be FaSt!
@Foto4Max lol
i really like this setup did motor and esc stay cool? also what battery you use ??? 2s 1500 40c ??? thanks
Seriously....I have this exact car and a brushless motor upgrade that I got from someone. I have no expert knowledge of RC cars...this video is GREAT! good job man. I am good with my hands and working with things but this helped! Thank you!
you're welcome
I've done exactly the same mod....Like racerstar stuff, have many quads with racerstar parts
Bro does it have break function?
I would love to drive one of those down my street, haha my little brother would love it
Holo Scope love ur profile pic, are you a fan of mha?
@@lordcabbage5240 ofc
Really fast,I want to do this mod👍🏻
Thanks. Yes, its insanely fast for its size
You are a genius
Thanks
Good conversion, could be a cheap way to get a good buggy, motor + esc only cost about £20 on Bangood.Either get this setup or just go all out and get the ZdRaptor Buggy, I trust ZD racing because of my positive experience with their d16 DRIFT CAR, really reliable.
The A959 is quite reliable, my motor blew after about 3 months, I got bits here so they could be good spares if I get another, think I would go for the B version for the extra power.
Rob
Thank you
I put a 540 sized brushless mortor in one of thoose and hit 51mph but it would lift the front end up every time and I ended up wrecking it
Does the car come with front wings? Because that could help keep it on the ground
Thanks for the very nice video! I just got my a979 and I'm already thinking about upgrading to a brushless system. I'm very new to the hobby so I'm sorry for the newbie level of my questions :) Should I use a 245 brushless motor with 4500 kv or the one with 4800 kv? Also what battery should I use with this brushless system. Thank you for your time :)
You're welcome. I'm using a 4800KV motor. All the required material is listed in the video description ;-)
Hello sir...can standard vortex each and moto use Moto fan?I mean install it to standard each...
Nice video man , can you oil fill the metal shock ?
Thanks. Yes, you can. The upgraded shock have O-Ring seals
shocks are bit bouncy but awesome work on it 👍
Thanks
Brazil....top vídeo...
Thanks
Great video and thanks to the detailed explanation. So how to fix the too slim motor stick problem? you didn't provide a link
I don't understand your question
@@TheDIYGuy999 I can't fit the brushless motor in the original mount. And also the shaft of the brushless motor is too thin for the pinion
@@TheACCmy Then it is the wrong motor
I have one of these. I modded it to work with a 6s lipo lol. It goes 100mph+
6s and 100mph+ sounds realistic ;-)
Considering the car is literally smaller than the transmitter lool
Lmfao why would anyone lie about shit like this? Why not try it yourself and see what Im saying lol
UrbanoTV video or it didn't happen. Cuz I kinda smell b.S.
Fine, ill take a picture of the setup later and record a video as soon as I get my gyro for it
Great and easy upgrade. I also used the 2435 4800kv w/ 25amp esc.
Thanks
He k yeah the wobbly pinion gear will make a big difference on longevity.
Why bother then. Not just fixing it in the first place why man.
Explain to me how an OS receiver does anything at all to address stripped gears?
could you try making a wltoys a979b with a leopard 4370kv and 60a and use a 2s.and then put the dromida monster truck tires on it. It could be a good video and I would love to see that. Pls do it if possible
I will probably do an A979-B upgrade video. I already have some parts lying around. But it will take some time
Hi great video!..Can you say what you mean by 'deadzone'....and what is the benefit of changing the ESC?
Thanks. Deadzone means the area around neutral, where you turn your steering wheel and nothing happens on your steering. You don't want that. Changing the ESC and the motor makes the vehicle a lot faster.
@@TheDIYGuy999 oooh ! Thanks for quick response!!!
If it's not fast enough make it fast, I dropped a modified 8 turn brushed 540 motor in mine it hauls azz, I also have a fan cooled 630 amp Esc and motor cooling fan,i also upgraded my transmitter and receiver,and the turnbulkes, it drives in a strait line very well
I skipped the brushless motor and went with a modified 540 8 turn motor and a 480 amp fan cooled esc It makes my tires turn into pizza cutters I had to cut the body a little it's fast as lightning ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡ also got a cooling fan on the 8 turn too
Is brushless produce more speed? Thanks
This guy created a fuckin beast
Yes, it's crazy fast for its size
just letting you know....those rims are not going to take to much of a beating....try to get it on its tires... its cheaper...Nice build man...
Thanks for the praise. Believe me, the rims already took A LOT of beating!
What did u do about the pinion
What's that tool you used at 9:47?
When using this ESC and motor with NiMH battery what will be the Low Voltage Cut Off should be?
And what is neutral range ?
They are not really critical, so no cutoff is required. Neutral range is the range where you can move the throttle and nothing happens. Leave it at the default.
TheDIYGuy999 Thanks a lot 👍
Hoffe mal du bist deutsch wirkt aber so also lohnt es sich das Teil zu kaufen will es mir vielleicht zulegen
You can fix the toe angle of the fromt wheels by bending the plastic hub of each wheel where the rod connects to the steering machanism. I used a lighter to heat the plastic. Works perfectly, takes 1 minute and the hubs does not get brittle after heating.
Hey bud, sorry if I missed it... how much will you have in it total when done adding brushless? Thanks
You can find the prices in the banggood links below.
much light
How did you fit 2.3 bore pinion to 2mm shaft
I made a bushing on the lathe
Hello, can you please send me a list of all the items I need to make my WLTOYS A979 as fast as yr one
You can find the list in the video description ;-)
I was planning to upgrade brushless motor.. do i need new radio control on it? Tnx
Yes. The original receiver includes the ESC and the servo is a 5 pin type.
Where do you get another remote?? I'm planning on going brushless soon
hello, I would be interested in realizing the project of the brushless machine driven by arduino, modifying my rc car vortex 4wd brushed machine, can you send me the link of the remote used in the video in order to buy it? and is it possible to use the same remote control already present in the machine and the same servomotor? Is the new remote control expensive? Thanks in advance for your attention, I look forward to you. I would like to make this project for my June graduation exam.
Samuele
You can't buy it, but the GitHub link, where you can download the Eagle board PCB files and the software is in the video description. The PCB can be ordered on www.oshpark.com
That’s insane lol
Yes, it is. Thanks.
May be a stupid question, but how is this a 4-wheel drive? Must be some interesting gearing?
There's a front & rear differential. A center drive shaft connects them both together. The reduction gear is on this center driveshaft which connects to the pinion on the motor.
Would this motor work in a tamiya tt01 ?
No, you need a3650 size: th-cam.com/video/i_ty6Ahbmi8/w-d-xo.html
Original shocks are fine, just fill with some 500 CPS silicone oil.
They don‘t have a rod sealing and the oil will spill out immediately
The ESC is holded by glue?
No, double sided tape, as usual
How to find mortor guard
that motor has 2mm shaft. what pinion did you use?
It's been a long time since then, but I think it's the stock pinion.
Can you add brake function for good car control?
You pump the throtal in back fast it breaks
@@closed2459 ok😊
What is the best motor for this? Brushless or 540 motor brushed?
The 540 motor is not bad, but its efficiency is not the best and your battery will be flat in no time. So better use:This 35A ESC: www.banggood.com/Racerstar-35A-ESC-Brushless-Waterproof-114-116-118-RC-Car-Part-p-1082604.html?rmmds=search&cur_warehouse=CN
and this 2440 4600KV motor: www.banggood.com/Racerstar-2440-Motor-Brushless-Waterproof-Sensorless-608046004000KV-118-116-RC-Car-Part-p-1112737.html?rmmds=search&ID=514253&cur_warehouse=CN
does the esc have low voltage alarm? & top speed??
Yes, it has. I’m guessing, that the top speed is about 70km/h.
How to cover in motor
16:05 what u doing i can see that the servo works at 13:44
I'm adjusting the servo end positions (in degrees). Yes, it work at 13:44, but the end positions were not yet adjusted properly.
How can I buy a receiver ? And can I use original sero
You can't, you have to assemble it by yourself. The servo needs to be replaced. Links see video description.
I need a pinion with a 3.175 hole where can I find one?
Does it go 70kmh stock?
What controller and receiver did you used?
It is my own, Arduino based DIY system. You can find the GitHub link in the video description. Of course you can also use any other standard 2.4GHz system
@@TheDIYGuy999 Sir can you make a video how to upgrade wltoys a959-b?
Is this servo replacement a stronger servo ?
It is a bit stronger than the original one. The main reason to replace it was, that the original one is 5 pin, but the electronics swap required a 3 pin one. Material links are in the video description.
TheDIYGuy999 thanks dude currently modding my 979b and have been looking into a brushless motor and esc replacement , I’m aware you need a digital servo to be compatible with multi channel radio but I’d like to get the steering angle slightly larger using a stronger servo with a larger steering radius, I’ve noticed that there are extension adaptors for the hubs to give the rc car a wider wheel base giving me more room for the larger steering angle , hopefully this will also fix the problem of it being unpredictably controllable at high speeds and give it overall better handling.
Why do u replace the servos for
Because a standard receiver needs a 3 pin servo. The stock ones are 5 pin
How much it cost in American dolar
How do you solve the problem of charging the batteries using the regular charger from a WLToys RC? when is charging the red lithe is on but after 10 or 15 minutes goes out. Why WLToys five us this charp battery chargers?
I never use the WLtoys charger
does it have speed control?
Yes, of course. Throttle and steering are proportional.
Switzerland ?
Yes
haha hani mer au denkt
wheel bearings?
They are still in original condition. Sinter bronze bushings, no ball bearings. But they could easily be replaced with ball bearings.
This supports 3s
Is this faster than the a959b?
I never measured, but I think it's a bit faster
nice video
max speed?
Thanks. I have not measured the speed, but I assume 60+ km/h
TheDIYGuy999 Thank you
Why only a 25A ESC with this combo ?.
25A is enough for this size of car. But you're right, maybe iI will upgrade to a 35a with 2440 motor...
Can it do 3s
Are you in the UK 🇬🇧
Switzerland
Your tires blooming gives you less tire surface = less control an inless you have metal gears most likely them are now stripped . as cool as blooming looks hurts when blows up in your face .
Does anyone know if the a595b uses the same battery as the a959?
Yes, it has a Deans instead of a JST connector
TheDIYGuy999 so they're interchangeable? Awesome
No, as I said, they have a different plug
TheDIYGuy999 oh sorry, misunderstood you. Thanks!
I think I'm going to get the b version
This might be a cheap project for me to learn how to mod cars
so where is the pinion mod video?
No pinion mod is required with this brushless motor
I wanted to buy this car but then i got an expensive nitro buggy
And i spared up for a nitro buggy sooooo long and then the day after i went to an rc store and i saw this 1 and noticed how small it was so for the people that want to buy it be aware rhat its not bigger than your hand
Yes it is a 1/18 scale RC ...
Bitte nutz nicht immer loctite. Wenn ein Teil Plastik is ( schraube oder Loch) dann geht's schneller kaputt wenn du beim nächsten mal die schraube rausdrehen möchtest.
whaeir did you that moter
Isaac Vergara the parts links are in the description
Great upgrade vid mate. I have one off these trucks I'll have to do a vid of my upgrades. Please look at my channel am only new at this. 😊👊👍👊👍
Thanks for the praise
Your welcome mate 😊👊👍
I want to like these cars. But, it takes nearly 2 months for this stuff to arrive from China. That is unreasonable and makes driving these things difficult.

you should make it all metal
Why? it just adds more weight and it can't flex during a crash
That much power on a short wheel base is pointless, you can't control the darn thing.
Yes, the controllability is not the best. That's why I deigned an automatic stability control:

Hi..im wltoys rc car player 144001..from malaysia
Whatever!!
hello TheDIYGuy999
it's 6 months that I tried to remake your tx and rx but I can not get my question is can you do me a tx and rx and send it to me in France your price is mine
Hi, sorry, but I just don‘t have the time to sell them. What exactly was your problem? Did you use my PCB design? Or was it a software problem?
Good video bro! I have the same car, I have been building on my channel, check it out!
Thanks. Your brushless A959 also looks pretty fast
