I set out to build the fastest and cheapest WL TOYS A979-B that I could without moding the chassis and without any significant upgrades.
So I picked up the cheapest and fastest. 5200KV 540 brushless motor combo on bey for under 30 bucks.
Finally put it in and only ran into some issues along the way, resolved them all and now the wheels can BALOON as much as they want.
Lets hope the drivetrain can take the power. - Розваги
You guys can find this model right here, this is the same one as in my video in factory form with original electronics.

You buys is dynamo brussles?
Where can you buy the motor and the esc
Hybrid32494 I am buying the exact same wltoys model as shown in this video, what servo did u have? Be specific as possible please
Yoo do a959 metal chasis
I've found a good alternative to cutting slots into stubborn hex screws is to instead try a Torx driver. Because they're tapered, the more you push on the driver the more the splines will dig into the apexes of the hex instead of camming out the faces like a hex key does.
hey bro!! thanks for the hint, I will try it the next time I have this problem. Thanks!!
It looks badass! I whacked the crap out of my wrist when I revved mine up, and one popped, lol I had to lay my escs on thier side, worked great. I put 2-550/4000kv brushless motors in a 124019, short preview if you would like to see it. Thanks!
Next time use a soldering iron to heat the screws that hold the motor on. It will loosen the thread lock.
hey!!, that's a great idea, thanks for the comment. I will definitely do this the next time I run across this issue.
👍👍👍works great i stripped the grub screw in hub trying remove on outcast, i was only upgrade to hb now im stuck having drill or leave alone any ideas drill careful right? But spare axle lol
They go crazy w lock tight have remember use heat have or have machine tools ready
Fortunately I watched your post before tacking mine. The very first thing I had to deal with was tight pinion, and motor mounts. I hadn't seen the solder gun suggestion, so I grabbed a propane torch and set it at smallest flame I could. I pointed it at the immovable grub, and mounting screws, and they came out easily after less than 30 seconds. Loctite unlocks easily when warmed up.
Great Build! Awesome Little Truck!!
thanks!! It's got just enough room to mount the electronics too, that's the best part. You don't need any heavy mods to run a good 1/10 brushless system.
I built the same thing about a year ago and it still running just fine. Your the only other person I’ve seen put 5200kv motor on A979b. My has 5200kv , hobbywing 120a esc , all metal gears , Aluminum chassis , upgraded rims, 3s battery, Savox servo and drift assist to keep it going straight.
Hey man, thanks for the feedback!!! I also purchased a cheap Chinese drift controller assists box for this (will try it out soon). I figured the highest KV is the way to go, it if breaks the car, then I will just stick it somewhere else, LOL. right!!! I have also since gotten 1/10 foam wheels and a fun 1/10 hub conversion ( no video on that yet).
How much more speed does your motor/esc/battery set up give you, Kenny?
55mph is what my gps read Multiple runs confirmed. Till it flipped and broke the GPS but truck faired better. For a 1/18 budget truck that’s flying.
It’s crazy that we created the same insane little truck.
Thanks for the review, Most likely going to buy this one!
you got it!! thanks for watching, this brushless combo is pretty solid, Ive used it on other larger Rcs and it works pretty well. Handles 3S lipos easy too.
@@hybrid32494 This will work on the Bigfoot, Right?
yep, it will work in any typical 1/10 scale setup. I've used this similar setup in a traxxas stampede 4x4 VXL, pretty good there too. All these 3650 size motors are identical in their size and mounting, you won't have an issue. Let me know if you run across any, always glad to help.
Nice collection of RCs!
thank you!! Ive gotten a couple more since this video, LOL. It's an RC addiction. But I usually buy them all really cheap and in poor shape and restore them to a normal condition. Check out my other vids on all the cool nitros and gas 1/5 scales I got too.
Nice upgrade brother!
Nice esc/electrics mounting!
Because the new pinion will help alot to speed the rc I need the size of it .. or link to bay it
Sweet bro...love that's sounds! Pass the magic wand bro need that:)
RC Noypi Yup dude, thx. Gotta speed test this now, after i put on 1/10 touring car wheels probably.
My Crystal balI sees plastic parts meltdown in springs higher temperatures. Your right, awesome gear stripping speeds.
Scale correct, just like a real car now. Must rebuild after the race.
You got a great video there! >Gonna subscribe and look for the test run. Must have been hard to control with the ballooning tires? Think the A979-B is hard enough to make go straight at full speed with the stock set up. But cool video and upgrade again!
THE LUNCHBOX IN THE BACKGROUND THO 🙌
WHEN THIS FILM, I'M INTERESTING:) the boy on the fillet has a similar set only 4330kv 3s 65c engine and 56mile had
Nice job. Do u have a link too eBay for this motor and esc? Carnt seem too find it, cheers
I will do this upgrade when my motor dies,goes fast as is, upgraded my steering so far👍🏻
hey!!, thanks for watching!! You got the aluminum steering linkage? did it reduce slop?
hybrid32494 yes much better, the only movement is the wheel wiggle, maybe bearings will help that, waiting’ for them👍🏻
Hey hows it going again man, Thanks for the vid and well done. I finally got my wltoys 10428 1/10 scale rc in the mail yesterday and im already super excited to start immediately getting into all the upgrades, already got a bad mofo battery for the little beasty :) i was wondering if you had any links to decent compatible motor upgrades and the like?, basically any upgrades for any part in it cept the suspension i already found all the metal upgrades for those, thanks in advance man.
Thanks for the link first thing you did I'll sub
hey man, thanks for watching. I still have not done speed tests with this one, I have a set of aluminum links coming in the mail, and 1/10 wheels adapters.
Awesome man. what servo and transciever you used?
Great modification & idea to place the esc. I am trying to modify a Pirate Tracker. Do you know about this model. I want to put all the gearing of a wltoy in it.
You can use a little torch to heat the motor bolts to soften the loctite.
Does the brushless set up comes with the remote? If not where do I buy the remote..
Good job 👍🏻
thanks!!!
Great video bro Where is your accent from mate? Just curious, noticed u have a slight accent.
Bro it'll go like a rocket!!!!!!
Yup, within the week, we will know. Gonna use my speed meter on it, so we can all know the facts. LOL.
Very good video. What battery do you use for that motor?
Hey bro i did this to my a979b but with 120 amps esc and with 6s lipo battery and it is super insane. Max speed 198 kph very fast, and in the future im going to mod my 979 for fpv. Thx bro for the specs
Wow
What motor?
Your cable is touching back pull rod. Thats dangerous man.
Great job there buddy.....That motor looks hilarious in there, must be crazy fast, just ordered my brushless combo can't wait to upgrade my 959b.....
Have ordered all metal diff parts can you recommend which upgrade chassis to go with they have two different metal ones available and a carbon fiber one....??
Thanks
hey, good luck on your build!!! So far nothing has broken on mine, I have the punch and brake settings lowered on this ESC, to make sure it does not do back flips. I need to really upgrade the steering parts, it is way to wobbly and unstable at all speeds. No idea about the metal chassis, But I'd recommend you get a silver color one, because any scratched on the colored ones will look so bad when it's scratched.
Stock black chassis is Best
I bought this one for my son and it’s pretty good race car . But I realize the battery last like 10 min Normal use not racing all the time. Is that normal? Also for some reason the car is not working properly I mean while drive the car just stop and looks like something stock on the gear. Already take everything apart did some cleaning and everything was ok. I did make sure battery is charged 3 hrs as manual says and controles battery’s as well. Can you help me ??
I wanna see how its runs. Why you dont upload the video? Is somethin problem after that?
Hey bro did u change the original servo of the car?
How fast did it go... Do you have a video
How are your wheels holding up? I put a brand new set of them on my 959B, destroyed the center of one in less than 5 mins. I wasn't even bashing/hammering on it, I was adjusting the front end links. Great video btw, Thanx!!!
hey man!! I have not road tested this one yet, will be soon. Overall literally nothing has broken on mine, other than the original ESC/RX combo. You mean your drive shaft dogbones broke? I don't really jump much and have the esc set to the lowest punch setting to eliminate the hard starts, seems to really help.
No, not the dogbone. I was talking about were the hex inserts into the rim itself. You're right though, it probably is happen on the takeoff. I just got into RCing, so I don't have the abilitie to change the power curve/punch. Good luck with the road test bro, it oughta fly
Where I get the motor esc and the receiver
I have full metal upgrades but luck I burn my recover lol with a s3 2200mah
I bought an r.c.car pxtoys 9302.the car is fast but motor.give heat too much so i love to install brushless motor.so do i have to change ka controller?plz help
when you have much speed you didnt beak the plastic gears ?
just bought this car would like to do some upgrades im not experienced at all just for fun what would be the top upgrades you suggest first
metal suspension if you havent already broke a steering arm, and just metal they break real easy ive gone through 3 A959B cars. lol
I forgot to ask and you tested it for 3s, how are you going? and what 3s package will be safe from 20 to 40c ?? the bigger you are the greater the power ??
I did try the motor system with a 3S, it runs fine. Ofcourse I did not do an actual road test yet, that is coming soon. Generally the more powerful brushless systems pull more than 20C of current. The motor and ESC combo will pull a certain amount of current that it's rated for, generally the battery will be limiting the system if it's less then that amount. 20C discharge is a good safe battery to go with on the other hand.
i like that screw removal method...maybe heating it first may have helped also...
hey man!! thanks for watching! Glad to have helped you out!.
Hello, I watched your video and bought the same engine and used it with esc 120. The pinion is original 27 t. The car is stalling when starting, how can we solve it?
Hey buddy, thanks for checking out this video. It sounds like your speed controller is not arming correctly. The only time it wouldn’t power your motor is if the wires are incorrectly, plugged in, or it is not arming correctly. Try to unplug everything and plug it back in and make sure to turn your radio on first then the car it should arm.
i had the same problem too.wltoys screws sucks, i had to drill off the stucked up ones
hey man, somebody commented of a very good way to remove the grub scews with too much threadlock. You can take a soldering gun and heat the screw up directly, it will loosed the thread lock and the screw will come right out.
Hey man I was watch this and made me think that i wanna do another brushless on my A969. I have a 540 mount. Do I just need a spur gear and pinion gear? Also are you are you using the 3650 surpass hobby motor and esc?
yoo!! is your A969 the A or B version? If it's the A version with the smaller 390 sized motor then you will need the motor mount and pinion for sure. If you already have the 540 stock can motor installed in the B version then this will be a direct drop it, nothing at all needed. Even the pinion and motor mount will be reused. Yes, there are many of these 60-80A 540 motor models sold right now. Banggood has a good deal on one now. Check my video description for a link to a good system I would use.
Can u please send the link of the product thanks
thats cool... upload road test video please
What is the shaft size of the old motor? I have a brushless motor I want to put into mine but the shaft is 3.175 any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
hey man! I think that is the correct shaft size. Generally all 540 size motors have the same 3.175 MM motor shaft size. The 1.8 scale motors tend to always use 5 MM shafts. As long as your pinion can go onto the motor shaft and not be loose, you will be good.
BTW, 3.175 mm = 1/8th inch. Like exactly. The only other really common size for motor shafts that's close to that is 3 mm, but it's really easy to drill that out. The only thing that might make things hard for you is whether your motor shaft is keyed differently or not at all.
Will it be hot?after 5-10 min run?
Mate you need to start adding test runs so we can see performance gains compared to stock, link the follow up and previous videos together. It will make is easy for people to navigate related videos.
when do you think you can make a test on the road and give a movie :) do you think it will take you around 100km? I wonder if something will happen
what size battery do you use?
what's the deal with battery charging up to 3.5 for purposes. how does the battery have 11.4 it will drop 1v and you have to stop driving ?? you can not conquer till the end
That's crazy 👍👍
thanks bro!
you can send me a link with some cheap arm to the servo of this mg90s yesterday I think it's servo it's because I can not even create a ball in my teeth and on a switched on beeping and you know what it will be? help me want to go :) it may be a short circuit from the water or a whack in the workroom
I was thinking about servo tower pro mg90, this system what you will be testing but a pilot with a box: 0
this one I'm using is the Tower Pro MG90S. Very good and cheap servo. I got 5 of these for about 15 bucks a few years ago.
You can use other pinions from the non b model ist 17t but you need the other pinion in the Middle too sorry for my Bad englisch
Hi, max went 90km or 56miles on this combbo :) for 2s
What did you do about plastic differential gear
hey buddy!! The gear is fine. I have not stripped anything so far. Keep in mind I don't really do much Orr roading with this one and mostly just speed runs on normal pavement.
Do you use same remote control .and same Chanel you use ..
Greaaaaat .. can I know what the size of the pinion ??? It's better bigger than original brush less .. waiting for ur reply
hello, thanks for watching. I am using the same pinion that was included with this car. You cannot use a different size pinion with this setup and this motor mount since it is non-adjustable for gear mesh. So you have to reuse the same pinion.
@@hybrid32494 thank u for your reply .. brother .. I think if I change it to adjustable one it will work ... any way I will try .. my wl toys has small pinion and I'm sure that with bigger pinion it will be more faster .. thank u again
hey, glad to help. You have this same exact WL TOYS as I have in the video? or a different model? The reason I'm asking is because the pinion on this one is already pretty big in my opinion. Maybe you have another model?
@@hybrid32494 yes my car is 12428
Which motor is the best on Wltoys a969? Is it a 540 or 550 motor.
hey buddy! these cars use a 540 motor. If you're planning on an upgrade the best idea is to just go full scale 540 brushless on this. You could get nice 60AMP 5200KV system for like 40 bucks. Only problem is you will also need to change the radio and servo. Otherwise I wold just run this with the stock system.
I even watched the deleted scenes at the end
LOL, I just watched them right now! That was some clever time lapse recording I made, must have taken tons of memory too, cause it was pretty long. I have since learned to condense my recording to fit the Story Line better, to reduct unnecessary editing.
I bought a gyro skyrc skyrc I am just waiting for this engine and esc what are you testing :) servo and receiver also the ones you. I will question this receiver flysky will walk with this remote control from a979b with a box ??? how to set it up brother :) and I'm waiting for your movie
this Flysky gt3B is a great remote because the receivers are cheap and reliable, plus it has 10 model memory, so you can just buy spare receivers and use the same remote for unto ten models. When you get the remote and receivers you will need to bind them (I've got a video on here that shows how). For the money this remote is the best overall, many RC hobbyists use it, it's never let me down.
@@hybrid32494
will this flysky receiver move from this remote control from the box what was with the car ??
sounds like you are saying if this remote will work with the factory 2 in 1 ESC/reciever in the car. The answer is NO. You will just install the receiver that your new flysky comes with in the car, bind it. Then you would need a hobby grade ESC and servo (like the ones I am using).
You should make these and sell them. I would buy
It also works with the original remote control
You have video test drive after modded?
Is there going to be a speed test video?
Wow... The tires deformed (beginning of the video). Crazy!
YUP, thats called ballooning. Basically when the wheel speed is just so high the tires expand, sometimes even blow apart. thats the scary part, lol. thanks for watching.
Should do a full metal upgrade
if i want to change brushed motor should i change esc and servo? if not switch esc and servo can i only use brushed motor.
hello my dude. If you want to use anything other than a brushed motor you will need a brushless ESC and a new radio system. This model uses a 2-in1 ESC and Receiver design, so you're going to have to change everything to make it brushless. Trust me, keep it brushed. It's cheaper. If you want a brushless just buy another model that is alwready brushless, less headaches that way. Check my channel for the brushless REMO 1935 truck, it's great and costs less than 100.

hybrid32494 oh brilliant thanks for the link :-) much appreciated
Thanks for prompt reply
you got it!! I try to write everyone back, are you trying to upgrade you stock one now too?
What was the top speed?
Did you have to change receiver?
geemailMossman hello, yes. To upgrade the steering and esc system you need a separate radio and receiver. The stock car uses a 2 in 1 esc and reveiver unit, to change any of the electronics here will mean you need to have you own radio gear too.
will it fit the original a979 (The non B edition)
hey buddy! The problem is that the non B edition does not come with the stock 540 motor. Therefore you will need a motor mount from the "B" model. It's possible you could just drill new motor mounting screws in the stock motor mount though.
with me, even for 2s, you make big balloons with you too ?? straight from the box 540 engine
I agree the tires did ballon some with the standard motor, but nowhere close to this. I made a video when I first unboxed this and spun the wheels, gotta go check it out again. Next is a test with 3S, and then a road test outside.
will you use the skyrc gyroscope for a straight ride??
that would be. great idea, I need to order one. last time I tried getting them they were sold out. I got a set of 1/10 scale wheel conversion axles and hubs, wondering if I should attempt speed run with the stock setup and then the better touring car wheels first.
@@hybrid32494
did you try on 3s on the original set of boxes ?? I wonder if something would go wrong
I just plugged in a 3S and did the wheel spin test again, there was even more ballooning this time, was pretty scary. Need to wear a mask now. This brushless system can easily handle larger 3S packs, whether or not this RC can will have to be tested, LOL.
Same thing I was saying running a castle 5800 steel parts and 35 tooth pinion gear can't even full throttle an never have lol saddly.. but all this power on such small machine it's funny shocking to see others face when it takes off...lol

Anyone have any cogging issues with a 4300 kv brushless setup?
hey buddy! I've never experience cogging to the point where it matters, hope this answers ur questions. You're also going to have some of that to a degree.
will this motor fit into 1/18 a959 car? thanks
hey buddy! There are 2 size motors available for most WL TOYS 959 series of cars. One is the 540 can motor, and one is the 380 can motor. You cannot interchange them, because the motor mounts wont accommodate them, they are not adjustable.
Hi wot controller and receiver do you recommend
hello, I use the FLYSKY FSGT-3B with most of my rcs. It's a good computer 2.4GHZ radio and the receivers cost about 7-8 bucks each. You can bind unto 10 receivers to one radio. The complete system is about 35 bucks on eBay, you can't go wrong.

@@hybrid32494 how to choose the right kv so fast speed can also be wheelie easily. choose kv which is big or small? Answer please
hello, a motor's KV rating means the RPM per Volt. So the higher the KV number, (1800-7600) the faster it will turn with the same battery. Therefore a 4000KV motor is faster than a 3500KV motor. I consider anything above 4000KV to be a quick motor.
@@hybrid32494 in this video. 5000+kv. But with traxxas xo1. Faster traxxas. Please answer. I dont know many abaut rc
I used to have the traxxas X0-1, was fast. But also cost over 700 bucks to buy. The batteries are 6S and cost more than this whole build. In reality the XO-1 is a low KV motor, so it has a lot of torque but also needs a lot of voltage to get it moving.
Looks like my old duratrax mini quake.
Great work but little shameful with the number of ads though, can you atleast change to something reasonable?
You must add wheelie bar on it
Mantap.
again if doesnt mean anything because you will need a smaller pinion to at least get moving speed rc cars use around 1800kv with a gearing the is high from 28t pinion to even 32 I run an a 2050kv 6s and get 74mph on a 1/8 scale 180 amps 43 main and 13t pinion
would this upgrade work on the a959?
hello, Yes if you have the a959-B. The one with the 540 motor. IF you have the lower size motor you can still make it work, but you will need a different motor mount to fit the 540 size motor and probably a different pinion to match the gear spacing. You can mod your current setup if you got the 380 size motor too.
Same thing duhhhh wltoys all work to same toy grade car made hobby grade!
What size pinion are you using
hey man! That is the stock pinion on this thing. You really don't need to go any bigger, stay stock, it's already highly over geared.
@@hybrid32494 thank you for quick reply will be ordering one soon
Gotta use some heat on thread lock...a hairdryer for 3 minutes would of prob did the trick . Anything hotter than that could be sketchy
How much mph or kmh
I can not unscrew the brok from the motor's motorbike unless it has been twisted:) can it be taken otherwise? hahaha
areyou saying that your set screw on the pinion is damaged and you cant remove the pinion? Or that your motor screws are stripped on the motor mount?
If yo program the esc it will go wayyyy more faster!!!!
