WLToys A959-B 4WD 70 km/h 43 mph 1/18 Buggy from RCmoment! Unboxing, First look and First Run!

[@hollyhillrc]

Very Very cool RC Frost Ballet Dancing. Makes me want to buy one. Really like the wheels. Similar to the Tamiya Street Rovers, but with "Round Leather" ??? ha ha ha The rubber wing is an good idea too. Excellent video my friend. Big Thumbs up : ))

[@NordicRC]

Holly Hill RC Thanks Derek! Yeah I like the wheels too - maybe I’m biased because of the Dyna Blaster, Blitzer Chrome, Street Rover. This is a fun buggy, crazy fast compared to it’s size. Never seen a 540 motor in an 1/18. Looks Giant. Yeah, love those wings - great for running/crashing. Thanks for watching, buddy!

[@NordicRC]

Holly Hill RC Round leather?

[@hollyhillrc]

In the instructions @1:35 it shows a picture of the wheel & tyre. Look at the writing above the tyre : ))

[@NordicRC]

Ha ha, lol! You have keen eyes, bro! Didn't even notice that myself. Wish I had - then I would have zoomed in on that one :-)

[@NordicRC]

Ha ha, yeah, if I remember this video correctly it was a good spin :-)

[@dragan3290]

As soon as I saw the intro i had to subscribe 😊 that was awesome. Great video👍

[@NordicRC]

Thanks a lot Edmond! Welcome on board. Check out my channel video list for many more A959 videos :-)

[@carloscarmona6900]

Justo lo que estaba buscando, gracias, luego de pasar mi auto por un charco de agua me paso lo mismo con el motor principal y despues de secarlo con un secador de pelo por mucho tiempo y dejarlo airear por mas de 1 hora volvio a funcionar. Que bueno saber que es una proteccion de la placa por humedad.

[@NordicRC]

Wish I could understand that :-)

[@carloscarmona6900]

Just what I was looking for, thank you, after passing my car through a puddle of water I happened the same with the main engine and after drying it with a hair dryer for a long time and letting it air for more than 1 hour it worked again. Good to know that it is a protection of the plate by moisture.

[@NordicRC]

Carlos Carmona Yeah I’ve had it happen with other models. After drying them they usually work again. Funny thing about this one it seems quite protected against splashes/moisture, after having a closer look at it and some experience from commenter Panthermadcat here. I also had it out on very wet grass a few days ago. Worked sweet there. Well. The main thing is that it works again once it is dried :-)

[@BowlleuxMobile]

Nice video great rc and they have a lot of upgrade for it

[@NordicRC]

Yeah, they sure do! Check out my other videos with it. It has been fun running it 😃

[@firefly3542]

Great video dude!

[@NordicRC]

Thank you very much! It was fun to make :-)

[@PantherMadCat]

The connection wasn't lost. There is an automatic ESC shutdown when the battery is low :)

[@NordicRC]

No the connection was lost. But maybe it was a malfunction of the cut off. What I actually didn't show in the video (the battery on my camera was low so I didn't film it) is that I shook it a little afterwards and then it ran again for about 5 minutes. After that the cut off went on. At that time I figured it was the "real" cut off because it had been going for about 10 minutes or more in total. Maybe it was the frost or the water? The ESC on this is literally open for anything.

[@PantherMadCat]

Not really, the ESC is completely sealed with sealing compound. Open the box and you will find it out. I can provide you a photo, if you want. I had burned one, and needed a replace. But the T-Plug-Connector could also be a problem, isn't good connector in my view.

[@NordicRC]

I noticed the see-through sealing compund in the edge but wasn't too sure if it sealed everything (I haven't opened it). No need for a photo, I believe you my friend :-) Yeah, maybe you could be right and it crossed my mind too. But the easiest explanation was the frost/water. I've experienced problems both with the tamiya plugs and with the T/deans plugs. That could also explain why it re-started when I shook it. But it do not explain why the servo was working if the battery was disconnected. But either a loose connection or some pre-maturely cut off activation caused by something. But it works sweet again now.

[@PantherMadCat]

Then probably malfunction of cut-off :) or battery voltage was down, the battery isn't good one.

[@NordicRC]

Yeah, something. Looking forward testing it again too see how it fares. Seems to work sweet except for that little moment when time stood still. Good to know the ESC isn't completely exposed to water. Thanks, buddy. Now I know and I will dare taking it out again if it's a little damp/frosty :-) Can't hurt too much. How do you like the A959-B?

[@Bryan_Sims]

great intro 👍🏾

[@NordicRC]

Thanks a lot!

[@PeteWylieRC]

That's a little bit crazy ! Quite a party trick it does. I think that traction is a bit of an issue at this time of year but it does look really quick if only it would go in a straight line. Amazing value for money. Another very nice review vid from you :-)

[@NordicRC]

Thanks a lot for the kind words Pete! Yeah it is quite crazy fast. And I’ve never seen a 540 motor look that giant, when it’s sitting in this :-) Crazy fast, crazy fun. Hope I won’t crash that tiny thing into a curb with that speed though. Only drawback I can think of right now, compared to the price.

[@tonyromano6220]

Pete Wylie RC Videos it goes straight with a bit of upgrading to adjustable arms in front. Very straight!

[@sunitajoshi6953]

Yeah, the a959-B buggy is very nice one among the buggy family....I also have the same one...nice best for hobby grade beginners

[@NordicRC]

Yeah, it's such a cool fast entry-level RC, though I prefer the "slower" standard A959. More controllable and better run time. Check out my latest comparison with the two.

[@miniRCSports]

lool - cool run ^^ sweet cra XD thumbs up

[@robertowens7771]

Mine goes in a straight line, i replaced the stock 540, i put in modified 540 chameleon can, it has smooth steady power out put all the way to full trigger, none of that squerrly stuff any more, the stock 540 is to torky for this buggy to handle

[@NordicRC]

Yeah, I can imagine a lesser amount of torque would do this one some good :-.) Good tip, thanks.

[@marcospagan7345]

Nice run y like this tecnólogy use informe the buggy is special good video. 😀👍

[@dragan3290]

Can you please tell me does the diffs in the a959b with upgraded setup need to have the little o rings in the cups of the cv drive shafts as the plastic diffs have them? I have a lot of wobble in the cups and cant find info if I should put them in! I guess it wouldn't hurt with some light weight grease?any reply appreciated thanks for the video 👍👍👍

[@NordicRC]

Thanks a lot for watching, Edmond. I haven't noticed any o-rings in either my A959 or A959-B. Just took them apart in a new video on my channel. You can check out all the differences there. I got a lot of wobble in especially the wheel axles, but I doubt o-rings will help, since the drive axles/dog bones sit quite tight stock wise already. It just seems the wheel axle cups do not sit very good in the bushings, especially when wear and tear of those bushings start to kick in. Got a new upgrade series coming up, where I will try out ball bearings in the hubs. Maybe it will help a little, especially over time. "Light Weight Grease"?

[@dragan3290]

@@NordicRC thanks for the reply can you post your reslts.? Id like to see how it goes.cheers have a great day 😊

What results? The upgrades? Yeah, all upgrades will be made into short videos and I will do test runs with them too here on the channel :-) Have a great day too, edmond. Thanks a lot for watching again.

[@m.shankarmahadevgupta7559]

I want to buy a wltoys rc car so in A979-B and 959-b in these both which one would u recommend For me. I am not able to understand which one to buy.

[@NordicRC]

Hi Gupta. The only difference is bigger wheels/tires (in on the A979) which provides better ground clearance and then the body.

[@m.shankarmahadevgupta7559]

Oh so is It better to buy A979-b rather than 959-b

[@matiq1104]

Does the Wltoys A959B have metal diffs? I’ve seen people saying it has metal diffs from July 2019. But I’m not sure on this. Do you know?

[@NordicRC]

There is definitely ones out there with both the metal gears and the plastic gears. The ones I’ve got got the plastic gears but can’t give any dates

[@leonskum.5682]

I ordered one of these and I've just opened it and noticed that the front wheels are not pointing in the same direction ie when one is pointing forwards the other is a few degrees facing out. Is this an easy fix or a no brained th send it back?

[@NordicRC]

They all do have a problem with ‘toe-out’. You can trim it a little on your transmitter so at least both wheels have the same amount of toe-out. But you need turn-buckles or longer upper arms to properly fix it.

[@pbtvproduktionen]

Cool show at the beginning!

[@NordicRC]

Thanks! Yeah it was a blast! :-)

[@schnacko23]

Did you ever figure out what made the unit turn off suddenly? I have the same issue. Almost like the unit shuts off before a fully dead battery..

[@NordicRC]

No not really, but I expect it was a heat protection system ... or maybe an early LiPo cut-off. Since this video I’ve had a lot of others of the A9*9 and these really have a limited run time and produces a lot of heat (because of gearing and motor size).

[@schnacko23]

@@NordicRC thanks for the info. I'll look at adding cooling fins to both ESC and motor for now until I'm ready to go brushless and upgrade everything.

[@Manjarow]

Good info on the measurements and stuff where can I get a GPS device to measure the speed

[@NordicRC]

Thank you for watching! Try Banggood. They got some good SkyRC GPS devices

Haha I was reading 1/8 and wondering why the box was so small :D Great unboxing and nice run with the tiny rocket :)

Ha ha, I can understand why you wondered for a moment with such a small box then! Thanks my friend! Yeah, it is a a tiny rocket :-) First time I've seen a 540 in a 1/18!

[@danielemulazzi7309]

Spettacolare !!!

[@NordicRC]

Thank you, Daniele!

[@abdiy9984]

Did have some damage after you fix the.....esc

[@NordicRC]

The ESC has worked great ever since. Maybe it was just the combination of the LiPo cut-off and the cold. Or a one-time glitch. Or something else. Works sweet now.

[@jeffreybentz7097]

I think low voltage was the cause of shut down, mine does the same thing. If the driving surface isn't dry, it isn't drivable. LOADS OF FUN!!!

[@addiemonsterrc3990]

I do really dig the watermelon graphics, though!

[@NordicRC]

Yeah, the color scheme is nice :-) Never thought of it as a watermelon, but now that you say it ... it only needs a little red to be selling as a delicious fruit :-)

[@safaulhoque4667]

Hey what is the difference between model A and B

[@NordicRC]

You can check out my video with it: A versus B :-) Just search for it in my channel.

[@awaisahmed6013]

At last moments rc car stop to move forward and back only due to low batt.i have also this rc car.when the voltage will be lower than 6 volts.this will automatically stop to run.so you should only to charge the batt.

[@NordicRC]

Yeah, it has a LiPo cutt-off. I think the LiPo cut-off also activates as a heat protection. On this run I was no way near a descent run time, so I automatically assumed it was the cold/the water. But since this video I've been running the A959-B a lot (see some other video series in my channel) and the motor/ESC gets hot quite fast or drained very fast. So I believe you are right :-)

[@bigbob3409]

What's the biggest battery pack that can fit ?

[@NordicRC]

I'm not sure. The stock one is a tight fit even, so not bigger than that one.

[@ilovebmxboi3930]

Only the one that is included

[@NordicRC]

Ya Boi Adam Mcneely Maybe other high-discharge nano batts will fit, maybe some small drone batteries. I recently tried a small nano Awanfi battery. Too big too.

[@leonskum.5682]

Can you adjust the max speed on these?

[@NordicRC]

No. Only on the A959-A

[@roadstar499]

i wonder if the a959 and the a959b share the same esc? for me the version of this with the smaller motor seems best for racing a little track...i think the slower one stiill has a top speed of 25 mph on 2s lipo pack... so multiply 25 x 18 and you get 450 mph which is over three times the speed of a full size race buggy like this...so in my opinion 90% of the tracks you race on using same skilled driver the a959 car would win or tie going against a959b...only track the a959b could win on would have to be hard surface with great traction and a lot of long straight in the track... for fun this one wins...

[@NordicRC]

There are no specifications on the ESC. But they look a little different. But so do some ESC's of different batches of the A959.

[@abdiy9984]

What name of soundtracks... in 1:05

[@NordicRC]

I’m afraid my archives are on a seperate hard drive ... so it’s hard for me to go back and check. Sorry. But it’s from the free youtube audio library.

[@NordicRC]

You found it?

[@tomislav4694]

How long does the battery last?

[@NordicRC]

Not for Long. 5-10 minutes off road. Small battery, big motor.

[@abdiy9984]

Is that the original version friend "!!

[@NordicRC]

The original version?

[@rick_bikelife_]

8:23 no man youre battery is dead its a safety feature when youre battery is dead you can only stear

[@NordicRC]

No sorry, this happened well before the LiPo voltage threshhold. The motor and ESC get’s quite hot on this one, especially when off road, so that is probably why it cuts off. It happened again for me with another brand new A959-B a few days ago actually. Incredibly hot motor and ESC. But yes it is the same cut off as the LiPo cut off, shutting down the second channel and leaving the first one on (the steering), so it’s easy to confuse them. So even if it was cold this day last winter, the spinning you see in the video maybe caused the motor or/and the ESC to overheat.

Hejsan. Not really my table to say so, I think. But I guess you would have to pay tax according to Swedish laws? A fellow country man could give you a better answer. Over here, Denmark, one have to pay tax and a large post office fee of anything over 80 DKK ordered outside the EU.

Nordic RC Visions okey, thank you.

[@tobias2414]

Nordic RC Visions I am kinda new to rc and want to buy a car for under 100$, what do you think is a god car for me?

[@NordicRC]

Ahhhhh, it's always so difficult to say. There are so many opinions and people are very different, in terms of what they will end up liking. I think you just have to search the market and just go with a model that appeals to you and suits your needs. Think about where you wanna run it (grass, dirt, street, forest etc. and how much space you have to run it in). Maybe also look at parts supply (especially if it's a fast model). And recommendations.

[@sta_bang]

Just need and upgrades to this beast...tyres ,pull roads and shocks..i can challeng u it wll b damn stable then

[@Gamingchannal_B]

What time about playing after charging

[@NordicRC]

Not sure what you mean? But I think, if I remember correctly, I included the specifications in the description box. If not, you can surely find it in some of my newer videos with the A959-B.

[@abdiy9984]

Or i mean. Other damage of your a959-b except esc ?!!!

[@NordicRC]

Nothing serious. You can check out one of my latest videos with it. It includes a damage report. Really only minor breakages on the wing/spoiler and the lexan body-nose. I’ve jumped it, flipped and rolled it quite some times. But stated away from the dreaded curbs. Maybe that’s why it it still doing fine :-) But eventually it will probably need some fixing. Most RC runners do.

[@ilovebmxboi3930]

The battery just died, that's all 😂😂😅😅

[@NordicRC]

No the battery didn’t die 😉 It was an early LiPo cut-off. I’ve later learned that the A959-B has a very limited runtime and the motor and ESC gets really really hot fast because of the 540 motor and the high gearing. With this first try I was surprised that it stopped after only a couple of minutes. But I think the spinning just overheated the motor/ESC and it activated the LiPo cut off. Got a lot of other videos with the A959-B (and the other A9X9) in my channel now. Check them out ☺️ Thanks for watching!

[@ilovebmxboi3930]

No problem bro, thanks for the video. 😃😃😃😆😆😆😆PS sorry for the confusion

[@NordicRC]

Ahh, it’s me that was a little confused on this first run so I made a confusing conclusion. I’m not used to a LiPo cut off after a couple of minutes of running :-)

[@oneeyemonster3262]

Lmao.....My 1/10 volcano exp pro can do that if I install the tires and wheels from the subotek MT 1/12...just slighty not as tall....but No traction becuase the brushless motor is too powerful for those wheels.. I have just as much fun driving my 979A,,even thous it's not as fast. I have 550 or 2450 brushless....I missed other the brusless motor. It'll work but I rather install a 2850 3900KV in it....waiting....waiting for the metal spur.lol

[@NordicRC]

Just tried out a standard A959. Much more controllable and great fun.

[@oneeyemonster3262]

Im in the process of converting nitro MGT and Rc8 into brushless 4974, 2259KV....mostly due to ground clearance...so I can run it at a local park around the corner from my house. Nice open field with hills and dirt patches here and there....Mostly so I can Open them up. My 1/10 do close to 50 mph on 3s...Hopefully I can gear the 1/8 to do over 40mph....They're bricks. The 1/10 use MT mosty due to ground clearence..so I can drive through my nieghbour's yards and on the street too ( it;s like a cool little sort of track)...I live in a collar sack....My nieghbors are nice,,,they dont park on the street....They know I play with my r/c cars... I used to drive them crazy with nitro..back in the days They love the electrics more than I do.lmao I also use convert fy03 to brushless for that..mine pop wheelies on 2s. I can run 3s in it..because I install a 60A esc. Over 40 mph...but not every controllable...hence not as fun to drive... I used the 1/18 mostly to get the same effect...not as fast...but zippy. It has the effect as if Im doing 50mph on the 1/10. i drive it all the time in front of my house...it saves me the trouble of going to the park....So i can get my R/C fix.lmao it's actually at perfect speed to do that.....It dosnt break becuase it's light, dosnt roll as much as the Fy03 or 12628...I hit the curb every so often. It is what it is
