hi
what track?
This channel has really boosted it's quality and I'm loving it.
The diffs are locked in this one too, not just the drift tyres
ikr that was the main selling point of the 969
Woot! I've been excited for this one. Thanks Kiwis!
That Rc is definitely worth the price, and to be honest you both did as good as most other beginners wouldâve done, but you could definitely tell that the pro had the 18yrs experience like he said, as drifting is very hard and he made it look really easy and it definitely isnât, as it has a lot of subtle moments with lots of throttle inputs in tight areas and thatâs why it makes it hard for most people to do , because most Rc users are bashing in big areas and wide open throttle on rough surfaces usually or straight up circuit racing and thatâs definitely different also. But it definitely takes talent to drift on those types of drift tracks. Stay and Play Safe !! đâïž
Hey guys, congrats on smashing that 10k. Great vid. That track is sweet.
Thanks so much!! Yes the track it pretty sweet and how about that pro drifter? He was very impressive wasn't he! Wish we could drift like that... Just give us 18 years đ
Great vid, it's cool to see drivers from beginner to pro on the same buggy đđ as an "amateur" drifter myself, may I be so bold as to give 1 tip...... Don't try and drift, try and run a "fast", smooth lap.... And as you get smoother, start adding more throttle, it will come to you.... Don't chase it, you'll only loop out đ
Just ordered one. I got the 1/18th drift mustang a month ago itâs a lil big for the break room at work so I think this will do better. Iâm sure using the lower gearing would help as well. I wanna see if I can somehow make a scoop to channel air to the motor for better cooling or something like that. Rock one you crazy kids.
you guys look like you actually enjoy these. and that's what made me subscribe
i keep watching this video over and over again that music & the drifting at the end is đ„đ„đ„
haha awesome!! đ»
That was great . Itâs about getting out and having fun no matter what you drive likeđ
great vid guys! The camera work is spot on!
Thanks and stay safe
Thanks, you too!đ
I have a couple of drifter. They are fun. Go hard. Am watching from Tasmania, so many opportunities for drifting and crawlers. Stoked to see this footage.
Guys that track looks awesome, great video, only just found your channelđđ»I've smashed that button đđ» I'm currently converting the k989 in to a mini drifter đđ»đđ»
It's so cool here! That's awesome! Glad to have you with us đ K989 will make a great drifter! đ»
I just ordered one of these. I got mini z after your video and have enjoyed it so much i ordered one of these so i can do some living room racing with my kids. Awsome work as always guys. âđŒ
That's awesome!! Glad you're enjoying the mini-z! What body did you go for?
@@TheRcKiwis I got the calsonic skyline, basically my dream car when i was a teenager đ€
It's the 1st drift car I've had, i hadn't realized drifting was so much fun and the fact my kids are getting involved is just the icing on the cake. It been so much fun! And basically because of your video đ đđŒđ
Been waiting for this car to be shown
'That was HK taxi driver right there' đ€Łđ€Ł this line definitely gt me ROFL. Good and funny vid!
Iâm new at the Channel and I Love the Introduction
Great video and drifting đ! Got you subbed đ€
Great video and good information
Great video guys, you really showed the capabilities of the car. For the price you get a very good package and the only real difference between the WL and MiniZ are Brushed motor and ESC vs Brushless and ESC. The suspension tuning you can acquire through upgrades, but at some point you would probably want to move towards a higher price point platform, like the MiniZ. For the price it is more the capable as an introduction to the sport and in the right hands you it can show up a MiniZ! Great work guys. You now need to practice so that you can get from beginner to the next level :)
The main difference between mini z is the chassis lay out , most mini zâs actually look cheaper , itâs a 130 brushed motor in the mini zâs
@@Andrew-hh3ol Yes, you're right. I am not sure you can upgrade the WL to the same level of configuration as the MiniZs. :)
@@johnymodem1326 the Wl toys biggest weakness is the steering knuckles and upper arms which for like $30 most of the rc will be aluminum with some slight modification
@@Andrew-hh3ol Will look into that. So long as it can adjust the camber and a bit of toe out should be enough. It takes practice but drifting is something that is satisfying :) There will always be faster, higher, rougher RC but only drifting hits the spot :>
I have the rc for crisis I'm excited
Looks fun for kids, I am going to get one soon.
Awesome background track!!
This car looks good on this track. I have the rally car version of this. It's ridiculously fast.
I agree with you there! Looks great and even better when the pro is on the controls! đ
Nice one guys.đđđ
I realy liked this video you guys do more 1/28th scale drifting
this track is so cool đđ„
This is also the only wltoys 1/28 model that has LOCKED đ DIFFERENTIALâs!!!! Just a Fun Fact! Love the Content guyâs đâïž
Great drift entry level car
Great vĂdeo đđđ
i ordered a k969 and it got to me yesterday but today it wouldent start and the battary cable was broken. just be careful when first using it
WLToys great value and fun!
Great đđđ
I like this one đ€©
Hi guys!!! Fantastic video!! I can upgrade this rc with new motor, new diff and otterrai wheels or rims???
Hello. You have beautiful videos. I really admire your amazing drifting track. May I ask, what is the surface of the track? Thank you for answer. đ
VERY GOOD VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good video brother, I suggest you to provide the update on drift on this same car video!! It will help our brother to upgrade.
Bro's Got Gunnz đȘ
For me drifting is easy like I started with a toy grade one and it's very easy
you deserve way more subscibers !!!!
Cheers you legend!
Great video guy's đ. I've got the k989 with drift tires on and locked diffs. For a beginner at drifting like me these cars are perfect for the job. Cheers.
Did you buy locked diffs or make them?
Oh yeah! Found it
i got one its great add a gyro
My 10th scale drifter started out its life as a redcat lightning drift. Amazing how much stuff u can find, & does interchange in almost every drift car!
(I've been offered well over a grand for it. Never for sale! đ)
Nice car
thats a naughty dog!
When are you guys gonna compare it to the miniZ? im looking forward to see them comparedâŠ..
Where do you get the upgrades?
Looks like u can adjust the wheel base? This timy car has my attention lol
Theyâre not that bad Iâd redirect you to beavers hobby channel because he pretty much exclusively drives mini rcâs
Yes it's hobby grade
Hafa adai. From Guam. Or Kia Ora!! Keep up the great vids
Kia Ora! Thanks for watching! đ
Hey guys! Is the steering/throttle proportional or is it all or nothing? Love the content :)
Hey there! Itâs fully proportional đđ»
@@TheRcKiwis awesome! Thank you! Just ordered one :)
I have the P969 and transformed it into Hook from Cars
other difference between this one and the k989 is that this one has locked diffs
do you have coupons
I was looking at this model but I got the K989 because itâs the more popular choice
A lot of people buy the K989 with the purpose of having fun turning it into a drift car.
@@patricklavoie8719 I just run it in the living room on the wood floor and it can drift a little with the stock tires
Anybody else just... đ ....when Amber is on screen? Lol. love you too joe!
đ đ»
she is sooo pretty đ
awesome car with gyro
I just got this car and the k989 but they don't roll once you take off the throttle The diffs are too tight I heard somewhere this car is a potential money pit?
Can you guys Review the wltoys 284131 and compare it with the k969 and k989?
watch beavers video on it, really detailed on all differences.
èŻ·éźè”éæ莚æŻpvcć
i brought one for the lil one and she loves it around the house its flew down 13 stairs (is carpet) but all the damage she has done is nocked out the arm lol..
its a top car its a must buy so use there link people ;) help the cause
It sure is a fantastic wee car! Great for the money!
You guys donât look and sound like youâre from Hong Kong. Looks fun with a lot of practice.
there from new zealand. hence the rc 'kiwis'
If u get one of these cars u should dismantle it first cut of excess rubbish plastic make sure diffs are free and drive train isn't binding ...
Hey. Do you think this model is better for drifting than the sg1603?
We haven't taken the SG1603 to a drift track yet, will try soon and make a video on it! đ
its also got locked difs
Also has different diffs ,k969 solid diff k989 open diff
K989 etc with open diffs can be changed to locked diffs at zero cost with the application of a disc of paper so your choice. Takes 15 minutes to fit
Bro check it out zd racing ex 07 and new wltoys 104001 similar to team associated 1/10 buggy
Cheers bro will check it out!
Just bought this RC a few weeks ago as my first drift car so Iâm quite happy to see its potential in the hands of a pro! Thank you for that đ
Btw, the tires arenât the only difference with the K989. The K989 has open diffs whereas the K969 has locked diffs for easier drifting. Itâs pretty much impossible to drift with open diffs.
Do the kyosho mini z bodies fit
Yes but go check out a channel on here called Beaver's Hobby for the best info on this. He has some videos specific to Wltoys K series.
Cool video you guys are awesome
Q. I have a senton with only steering no track
I reset everything what else can be the problem
PLEASE HELPPPPP LOL
Cheers Rodin for your comment, do you mean you have steering and no throttle?
@@TheRcKiwis yes sir
@@madrcdad7677 Ok, we had this very issue only a week or 2 ago. Try re-calibrating the ESC, I cant remember off the top of my head how to do that but it says exactly in the manual đ
@@TheRcKiwis i already did that sir
Well me and my bad luck đ„ș
Guys, the links for other Top WLToys don't work - perhaps it's just me? K969 is definitely on my radar, I had my Mini-Zs before but I sold themđ
Hi there, I just checked now and they seem to be working for us on PC. Maybe try on a computer? What screen is coming up when you click on them?
@@TheRcKiwis Glad, it's working it may be just my iPhone/Safari whenever I click, it goes to blank youtube page and the only choice is to click done at the top left corner instead of the banggood website. I will try tomorrow when I have access to my desktop and let you know!
Thank you yes that would
Be great! Cheers mate! đ»
@@TheRcKiwis Btw, just found out it is working now as long as I select the last option (default web browser for iphone) to open the website. If I select the 3rd option which is Safari, it doesn't work which is weird because my default and only web browser I have is Safari. Anyway, glad I can see the links and prices for those WLToys - time for saving up now! Thank you!
@@dretech awesome glad to hear you got it working! Have a fantastic day (or night) depending on where you are in the world đ
This track is awesome. Anyone know the name of that little tiny RC?
Its on the tittle... can't you read it?
@@galangbhagaskara5976 na blind đ
Beavers rc on CZcams can help with tips on fixing it up
Just bought K969 and this review has helped me if I should buy it or not hahahaah
Thank you for the wonderful video!
Get it off AliExpress, you can get upgrades and new wheels all for $55 (car included)
@@gavinjoseph24 Will it be still 4WD or converted to RWD?
@@MelonFaux 4WD but it can still drift. You can convert it if you would like too
Chur from nz
Is it fast?
21mph
They should've called it the K911, it looks like a little Porsche
Sayyyy
đâ
90% of the pros you see drifting online are using a RWD rc and not an AWD. AWD are the boring beginner level rc and is BARLEY considered a drift more like a power assisted power slide.
On most awd RC cars you can do a simple mod to make it a rwd so in this car itâs not really a problem :)
First!
Hate to sound like a creeper, but wow Amber is pretty.
Same I was thinking ... she definitely is thick in all right places and very beautiful.. congrats brother ...
@@dutchttsfo7571 ur weird bro
the pro was rubbing the wall. the steering wasnât enough. he needed a bit of mod.
any bad driving was 100% me, the pro is incredibly good. That was us handing the radio to him to try the wltoys for the first ever time!
Can u give me 1
:)
What percent of people who watch your videos are from Hong Kong.
1.8% haha most are from USA just over 50% đ
Rally is better than drift
this is called powersliding. not drifting. RWD ONLY
