@@IJROXA that depends on your battery. the more mAh the longer it lasts. Furthermore, the way you drive it matters also. If you're full throttle the whole time the battery wont last near as long as if you're driving slowly
I purchased one of these years ago after coming across this video. They are inexpensive they are fast and they are tons of fun. They are great cheap fun they come in different body styles and colors so you get one for the whole family. Definitely a thumbs up for this little car. 👍
I have the a959 normal version these things are such a blast! Especially for the price! I always wanted to hear what the hardest RC basher had to say about it! Thanks for review on the a959-B version!
Kevin, I just love what the RC guys have done with this little cat since this video, awesome, awesome speed records, it is unbelievable how fast these can go with just a few simple modifications. I am definitely getting myself one and putting up my PB videos after I have modded it for high speed runs!
Killian Viehmeyer I am sure that comment was targeted at Kevin. I know you exist, but I think it is harder for Kevin, with so many subscribers. Lot’s of good WLToys out there, but personally I have only tried the A979-B, A959-B and A959. Personally I like the A959 the best, but the A959-B is faster.
A bought a WLToys 12423 1/12 scale SC Truck. Love it! Didn't want to fork over a ton of cash to get back into R/C. I used to race on road cars, waaay back in the day with Nitro TC3's. I didn't want to do onroad again, and figured I'd try the offroad stuff...needless to say, I want upgrade to a Traxxas slash now. I got bitten by the RC bug again.
Got a couple of 12423 for my 7 year kid, and a lot of spares. He drives the crap out of them, and so far nothing broke. Money wasted on spares😀. Only things that are week, are the esc and the servo. No water resistance. But both cost me less than a set of wheels for my savage
I really wouldn't get a slash, it's old and there are much better options for the money, I'd rather get an arrma senton 4x4 blx for about 300$ or an arrma senton 6s blx for about 500$ if you want 6s power (and if it doesn't have to be a sct an arrma kraton, talion or outcast)
I ordered the 959 B (at least that's what the specs said) but it was an A. I mentioned that and money was refunded... but they let me keep the car. I used that refund to order the 959 B from the same e Bay store. It's been raining here but I got to take it out for one run. It's Insanely fast. The 959 A is super fun and quick, you can control it under full throttle. I have crashed it lots, the only repairs have been one shock that I could have fixed but the rubber seal blew out and I couldn't find it. It's made some bad noises that I fixed with some adjustments to the gear mesh, or just a bend and a twist. The 959 B is fully insane.. it truly is. These cars are more suited to dry, clean roads. I bought both with the drive more combo which comes with 3 batteries. They get hot quickly , they don't like off road (not sealed very well) and yes, shock oil is a must. These cars need some easy to do tweaking but are really fun and budget friendly. I have a set of Drift tires coming for the A and sticky road tires for the B. They need adapters as they are 1/10 scale but overall diameter is close enough to work. It's a fun learning experience. And parts are cheap.
Hey Kev, your first A959 video inspired me to order one, I'm still waiting for it but thank you so much for doing that video, can't wait to see more Kev! As always u are awesome man!
with adjustable tie rods (car does not like to go straight) and new shocks( they will break) you can have fun with this car for sure.. i dont think it needs a brushless upgrade.. .. 36mph is what i got.. im trying to make a video on it but i dont have time..
Stimp is like Chunk from Goonies, if you want something broke.....😂. Fun little car! I think Losi just put out a small one as well but these seem much faster!
Whats up kev, keep up your vids man 👍 this was my first rc car that I bought last year, I ripped everything out of it and put all new everything in it. I went with gold aluminum for the whole thing. Gold shocks, chassis, a arms, etc. I love it, I took the buggy body off and run a Chevy truck body on it. Running on 3s lipo with upgraded gearing.I wish I could attach a pic to this
I started my wife and two kids on the a959 and the two of the A979's, I wanted to see who would enjoy it and not be out a bunch of money. They take a beating for the price and are a ton of fun to drive!
Thanks for the video i was thinking of getting one for my son but i didnt know if it was good, now i know it will hold up good keep making great videos and good day mate
Yeah I got one bit you need to spend about £40 because it did about 45 or 50mph but there was barely any torque, you can't wall climb because the esc kept overheating and 2 mins of full throttle will make the motor and esc really hot
Yeah. I support my local hobby shop. Although parts available is not so great. But I bought 17 cars at my local shop 😳🤔😮. Using my EBay store to support this hobby😮😛😃😁
I really enjoy watching your videos. I would really like to see you try the LC racing brand. They have a lot to pick from and they’re pretty affordable for what they are. They have a lot of different kinds minis to choose from.
Get an electric rally monster rc truck. I have the nitro version and it's a blast! I've jumped it a few times. Only had to replace a front dog bone and replace rear diff gears (since it wasn't shimmed right from the factory) but all in all, it's pretty fun!
With better tires and a bigger battery (how big will fit? Would a more tame brushless system pump up the non-b version to have more useable power, running cooler with more runtime? In other words, what is the sweet spot?
you could get a full on brushless system in there. hobbywing 60a esc, 5.5t motor 5000kv and a 2000mAh 3 cell. ballistic missile engaged. might have to fit a heli gyro on the steering servo to keep it steady at high speed.
I like he knows the differnce between hobby grade and toy grade. Without hobby store influence. I'm going off the terms from 10 years ago. I want hobby stores To compete and demand lower price point cars like this
in my book hobby grade is something you can take the body off, buy spare parts, proportional steering and throttle and it has a battery pack it doesn't matter where it comes from in my book
My first hobby grade was a grasshopper and got into pan cars. U wish my classic grasshopper was as good as my wlp. And my next one will be the truck version of this fill the spot of my unfulfilled want of what we called truck class with slicks. I'm am now building the new trax suspension kit with a blazer hard body crawler. Wlp will be my basher and truck class. Thanks for you're reply and videos
Hello, I got a HPS XSTR PRO. ONLY USED IT FEW TIMES, first dog bone come out. Now front shock holder has broke. I got it off eBay 3weeks or so ago. Can you please help at all. Alan
yeh it has shocks just needs thicker oil, don't need center diff, pinion is metal, servo does what is supposed to who cares how many wires it has, its cheap and so are parts whats to hate for the price?
I have the exact same gps but mine keeps turning off going over bumps any ideas ?? I see yours has blue tack round it is that so it doesn't turn off with a small knock? Also what settings are you using on the gps?
you have to open it up. Its glued together no screws. Inside are 2 spring things than come out the battery box. Bend them out and put it back together with tape job done! The hot glue is incast it hits the road
Ive had an issue with one of these and its the servo, the motor is fine but the gears are prittey weak, the motor is just spinning round and the steering isnt doing anything. This happened after about 5 or 6 outings
What do you think of the new Arrma Granite 4x4 brushless coming out Kev gonna give it a try? I know you don’t run Arrma but this little truck looks sweet. I want a Tekno MT410. I’ve got the proline pro mt with upgrades and it’s pretty good now for reliability
Hey ...loooved this video! ....i just bought 2 of the non-Bs for my kids - first time RC purchase after years of wanting to get into the hobby but was afraid of the costs lol ...can you say which fast charger you featured in the video? The red one...
Can imagine the design meeting for this thing..."hey guys we need a cool british word so people will buy this chinese rc" ... "er, headphones?" "YES!"
I bet they have no idea how to speak English and pay some cheap translator to do the job

That's advertising dude

The car: dodododaaaajujuolola i'm a great rc car, please buy me, please buy me.
Hey Kev.
I got one of these and it’s so much fun.
It’s really fast for a small car.
Keep making your epic videos as I enjoy them so much 😀
Question about the rc how long is the run time?
@@IJROXA that depends on your battery. the more mAh the longer it lasts. Furthermore, the way you drive it matters also. If you're full throttle the whole time the battery wont last near as long as if you're driving slowly

The POWER of a brushed motor😊
The power of a brushed motor in a small car with the correct gear ratio😀
But isn’t a brushless motor better
@@mbfishing3807 definitely. But it would probably be so powerful that it would just rip apart the drivetrain of these.
@@ValFPV probably
@@ValFPV nope, mine is upgraded Full carbon metal and on 4 s with 3650 2800kv, 18kg servo and it runs 70mph with foam tires, 62with stock tires

Ahhh, also got a lot of footage with a comparison of these two to edit :-) Good to see them here on your channel too! Thumbs up!
You two are the two channels I trust.
Killian Viehmeyer Thanks, Killian!
So, now that you know I exist, 😂, what would you say is the best WLtoys model? I. Want. Speed.

Add metal gears and diffs and make it 4s that thing will fly !
What ones
Exactly
wich metal gear?
You also need to replace esc and receiver since it is meant for max 3s

Great comparison in RC's on a budget, if they make you smile and your having fun why not. I own a VRX Dart MT Brushless its loads of fun for its size.
Thanks for the video i was thinking of getting one for my son but i didnt know if it was good, now i know it will hold up good keep making great videos and good day mate
You can Buy a Brushless System For 20 Dollars
and a Servo for 8 Dollars
Yeah I got one bit you need to spend about £40 because it did about 45 or 50mph but there was barely any torque, you can't wall climb because the esc kept overheating and 2 mins of full throttle will make the motor and esc really hot
You need a new controller and receiver then a new esc becouse the esc is a combo esc and receiver made only for that remote
This one better than same motor truck because that may look good but very hard to handle... this good handle with same power
It’s funny. I had that car a few years ago and couldn’t find it anywhere but here it is

Hey Kevin, benny hill music was so cool! Took Ur advice n got b. Its non stop fun!!! Raw Power...

i just got the a959b yesterday and drove it. Its freakin awesome!
Love the videos man keep up the good work love buying my carnage ftx things of your eBay you allways have the perfect parts
I'm buying the 959 and drive it till I get used to it. Then get the 959b then then mod them both. 959b needs larger wheels then it's a beast
Your the best rc youtuber
Cant wait for todays video!
Awesome review Kevin I really like mine as well there are a lot of fun and the younger kids really enjoy it

got myself carrera copper max from smyths toys in Ireland. That's exactly the same car, just ordered new gears for it from Aliexpress.
This channel is awesome but can we have R.C NASCAR or sedans?
What's up kev, my man!
You should do a video on the vkar bison v2
I have the carrera copper max pro fi rc. Can't find parts any where. But it look similar to the one in your video. I wonder would those parts fit it.

First hobby RC I ever bought was a wltoys. Electronics are not waterproof though, you can make them though by coating them in plasti dip. Fyi 😉
Yo Kevin is the fuckin man love this guy always makes me laugh😂😂😂
I love your toy bro 😁
What do u need to maintain on them? Do u have to clean the brushed motor often?
Would you recommend the a959b and a good beginner rc?
Hey Kev could you make a new video on the wltoys a959b where you put in a brushless motor?
soon maybe
Put a ebay brushless setup in my one of these and its crazy , looking into 3d printing a wheelie bar next.
I love your videos, but bangood is not supporting my country, take care of your own. And your vids are some of the best rock on.
Looks like ur mining und working on a full scale monster truck ^^
Where can I buy just a battery for this? UK lipo shipping policy is stopping me from ordering from everywhere :(
Just curious where you got that blue ramp? The ones I had found seem small in width. Thank you

nice channel keep it up!
Not sure which wltoys model to buy.
12428. 14401 959b or the smaller rally or desert runner. They all look pretty decent.
Nice little rc cars.
Yay the slap is back!
Please do a video on the comet truggy go to cml website it’s a decent rc car so I think you should see how good it is for it’s price btw it’s £69.99
What's a good replacement esc and motor for this WLtoys A959-B 1/18 4WD Buggy Off Road RC Car?
It runs on 2s Right?
Ive got a 70c 4500 mah 2s Lipo ;) but it wont fit Right? (Its a hardcase)
Are there spare Batteries for this thing out there?
what do u like better the WL toys buggy or the hbx rampage
do you ever use redcat rc cars they are pretty tough and cheaper like WL toys but from the USA .id love to see some redcats beaten up on
Looks like a good little rc

I have one of these but I want a brushless motor what could I get that would work with the original controller
Hai.. can i know, if change brushed motor 11t, do i need modify anything??
so question I just received one of these cars and min will not go but about 50 to 100 feet from me before it looses its signal any ideas?
when are you going to complete your monster truck?
M j probably hurts the monster truck budget buying a Lamborghini 😳😃😁😂🤣
