    Would you recommend buying a bigger motor for the a959 a or will that just make the running time heaps smaller?

    • @NordicRC
      @NordicRC  4 роки тому +3

      I kinda like the standard A959 and A959-A with the 380 motor and lower gearing. Much lesser heat and more run time (and more control). So for me, no, the 540 motor in the A959-B is only for crazy speed runs (that can be fun too though).

      Nice! Congrats. Well, it’s fast enough as it is in my opinion 🙂 You can always buy more batteries for it later, and with a LiPo battery (and a small external LiPo alarm and LiPo charger ) it will be as fast as the standard version.

    I am sorry but I am desperate for help! I have tried the same Spektrum servo in two different Tamiya kits and neither work properly. In one the servo does not seem to centre properly and needs to be trimmed completely one way (it was pre-centred before installing and checked and double-checked). Just started building the DT-03 and the Tamiya Horn Adapter does not fit well and the screw ends of being too short on the same servo. Is there a better brand of servo to use for Tamiya kits? What do you use? Any help would be so appreciated!

    • @NordicRC
      @NordicRC  5 років тому

      Hi Daryl. Sorry for the late reply. I believe all standard sized spektrum servos should work just as well with a Tamiya kit as every other brand. Have you used the correct screw, horn or servo saver? There's different kinds of standards with different amount of teeth and they require different kinds of screws. All the different kinds of standards should be supplied with the Tamiya kit (side by side in the servo-parts-tree). I've never had a Tamiya kit where I couldn't find the right servo saver and screw for my servo (10-20 different servo brands at least).

    • @daryl9237
      @daryl9237 5 років тому +1

      @@NordicRC Thanks for the reply! I tried all three servo horns provided and the only one that fits is slightly loose. All the screws provided are the same length and they need to be longer by a couple of mm or so. I am thinking of just buying a different brand of servo and seeing if that works better. What are a few of your preferred brands to use with the Tamiya kits?

    • @NordicRC
      @NordicRC  5 років тому

      Ahh, yeah, Strange. Maybe it’s not that standard at all. The length of the screw sounds very strange, since the length required shouldnt really be defined by the servo but more by the servo horn or servo saver. But maybe it’s a kind of servo and issue that I’ve never seen before. I’ve used a lot of standard Tamiya, Sanwa, Futaba, LRP, Carson among others in mine.

    • @NordicRC
      @NordicRC  5 років тому +3

      Thanks! Pretty excited to get my hands on this one. Yeah, well, there actually just are three. I think this one is so perfect for the young ones, with less top speed and punch due to the 6.4v li-ion and the transmitter with the throttle Dual Rate. One could make it go quite slow and then increase the speed, as the young one is getting more familiar with the control. And well, then there is the standard one (the good one for everyday running in my opinion) and then the crazy one. Think these three kinda make up a great trio which means everyone can get the car, RTR, that they prefer. But yeah, from a business point of view, I agree, it’s really a massive spin-off production on one single set up ☺️ WLToys must be swimming in money, I think.

      @NordicRC  5 років тому

      I’m not sure which one, the B or A version came first (both came after the standard edition though). But yeah, it’s a bit cheaper and comes with the 6.4v Li-Ion battery. Combined with the smaller transmitter (for small hands) with the Dual Rate, I think this was an attempt to get hold of the youngest. And it really is perfect for the youngest. With the Dual Rate I think it can be set to a very low top speed, like 10-20 kph. I’m not sure if the transmitter is an improvement. It’s subjective I think. Personally I like it better, the looks and feel (though a bit small) with the build in antenna. But if one don’t plan to use the throttle Dual Rate the other would be better, with the throttle trim.

    • @NordicRC

      I supposed it was better only because of the dual rate for the throttle... Not having it directly in my hands I didn't realize it could be so small. Well then, I'll be looking forward for the comparison: I keep being attracted by the 959-A, but if the performance and the duration turn out to be seriously worsened compared to the previous version, I'm afraid I'll have to reconsider it.
      One thought, though: with the smaller battery, lower voltage and dual rate, maybe the car could be more manageable even indoor? I mean, at home?

    I was actually really interested in this video but I was extremely disappointed to see you have gone like alot of others and decided to have really annoying music instead of useful and informative verbal comentery

      That’s fine with me, Andrew. I cannot please everybody and I do what I like. This is just my hobby channel. Tons and tons of other channels with a lot of talking. I also have another channel with lots of waffling. Including talks about the WLToys.

      @@NordicRC hi you know what I have just re read the comment I had left and I have to admit that it wasn't my intention but I sound like a complete arse so I apologise for that

      Andrew Oldham Apology accepted, Andrew 🙂 You where a bit harsh, but I also know that I have a hard time finding free music to use (without spending all my tiny spare time on that task) so the music I use ... can sometimes be a bit annoying ... I know ☺️ But I will probably never talk on this channel. I have a lot of fun hobby time making videos like this. And it’s only a hobby for me 😊👍🏻
