    SOWEET. I chose the upgraded version A959B like the different tires, rims and few added things may be a lil more but no issues of guessing or finding parts... thanks for the share. Prices vary at the times we buy

    Can you put the original pinion on this, think it's 17t ? I think no coz the shaft diameter is different, but if i drill the pinion ? If i put the original pinion, will the speed be better ?

  • @modelnutty6503
    @modelnutty6503 6 лет назад

    not criticizing or trolling, didn't know stock was designated a 370 motor, and there are 390 motors same diameter as 370-380's, but near 1/2" longer nearing the same power as a typical 27 turn 540 size Mabuchi stock motor. they're pretty common, often used in some smaller direct drive RC boats, and sometimes 6-7 dollars in eBay.
    edit: a 390 might be a really worthwhile upgrade for not needing other parts to do it. have one here so here's the details.... 28mm diameter with a stator collar on it (helps more torque) so almost 30mm with that, can length 58mm not counting the bushing keepers, mount screw spacing 16mm, output shaft diameter (pretty sure) is 2.3mm. so everything stock should work to drop one in. it might not reach the same top speed of a 540 in there, acceleration should be pretty similar, with a little longer run time.

      I would just pick the largest spur they do and the smallest pinion, this will limit the cars top speed.

  • @ziggypopp73
    @ziggypopp73 6 лет назад

    Thanks for a great video. I`m sure getting this upgrade as I have both a A969 and A949. For some reason the 949 (rally car) goes much better than my 969, even though it has much smaller wheels. Else all the gears are the same on them, so I guess eighter the original 390 motor goes better the higher RPM it gets, and less the torque it got to pull, or maybe I simply got unlucky with the A969 and got a less powerful motor with it somehow. (They both have the 390 though) I`m guessing this 540 motor will do wonders with my 969. I'm very pleased with my Wltoys cars, I think you get very much for the money. They goes very fast and are easy and cheap to maintain, and can be upgraded totally. I also have 2 wltoys helikopters and a wltoys quadcopter, I guess I have been totally "Wltoys`ified" :D They have greatly low prices, and have decent quality and lifespan I think :D

    • @DriftomaniacsRC
      @DriftomaniacsRC  6 лет назад

      Andrew thanks for taking the time to comment, glad you're getting on well with it. They have a huge cult following on youtube with loads of mods available. You can even buy a kit to replace EVERY plastic part with an Aluminum one. I think you may be right on the motor, I'd need to check how many turns it has on it to see where the power band will most likely be. The 540 setup is like a shot of nitrous in this thing!

    top speed is more on the gear set up..taller gear is needed for that high tq motor..more top speed and more useable power

    • @DriftomaniacsRC
      @DriftomaniacsRC  6 лет назад +2

      Indeed the problem is that this is a 48 metric pitch, this mean the centre spur gear is the problem. You can't seem to get another one in that metric pitch which means whilst the motor has the torque I'm guessing for 50-55mph the gears aren't available, the spur sits on the central drive shaft with a X fixing through the middle of it. All ideas welcomed! It has so much potential!
