- Today you're going to learn how to get more steering angle on your Wltoys k989 1/28 Rc drift car to make sharper turns using the stock transmitter and a cheap servo upgrade with a simple modification to the top plate to make some room for the longer servo arm
There are two mods the easy one is just removing the top plate and drift with more flex in the chassis or you make a custom top plate from a carbon sheet like we show in the video
We do recommend to try drifting without a top plate a lot of people like to drift with a bit more roll and flex in the chassis
It those worn out your pinion gears because they are under a lot more stress every time the chassis flex
In the first test run the steering angle mod works perfect and nothing binds at full lock and it is so much easier to make a sharp turn and countersteer while drifting at a crazy angle is amazing
In episode 14 of this Rc drift project, we make a custom top plate and show you how to copy it step by step
These are the upgrade parts we used and k989 Rc drift car

You don't have Pay extra... it's still the same old price!
It just helps to pay the channel bills... Thank you for your support :D
It’s interesting to see how different every K989 is. I had the same steering angle by just putting the ball joint on the top hole of the servo horn🤷🏼♂️
Once you take the servo's back plate (cover) off, the motor wires are exposed. You'd better use electrical tape to cover it to avoid short circuit if anything happens to touch it.
Since you go with hi-speed 50:50 drift I think less chassis flex might be better. Anyway, try it and see how you like is the best.
+Beaver's Hobby we added some scotch tape and some distance between the servo and motor shut be oke
We are going to try both and than deside but most likely go for the stiffer and more durable option
Thx for feedback
The real limitation in AWD drift setups and steering angles lie in the CVD hubs themselves. Once removed for RWD conversion the front diff housing needs to be dealt with (And monoshock conversion). That's about as extreme as you can go with factory k989 no hop-ups. Dusting off mine after shelving it for 3 years from a busted servo (How I first came across this years ago...). Didn't have the heart to break out the epoxy and start Frankensteining it but seeing how extreme builds have become and overall ingenuity I'm tempted to build one ground up!
You should make a little track in that room . nothing too fancy just mark-out a track with masking tape... it's super fun to drive around a track . forces you to control the car . you can also put some crayons or pencil under the tape so that you can't cheat buy driving over the tape :P ...
tape is a great idea thanks for the tip Sir :D
awesome!! i just moved the ball link on the driver side that the steering servo rod goes to. moved it up the arm closer to the wheel hub. giving the same effect.
Nice work!
Good job,always informative videos 👍👍👊👊📹📹
thanks, buddy we did the best but did come out a bit messy
with trying a new video editor how did you like the music volume was it oke?
thx for the comment :DF
great work bud.. thanks for sharing.. 😊👍👍
thanks for watching mate we need that watch time :D
I know this video was made a long time ago, but I thought I would ask anyway. Can you tell me where you got that tail wing on the back of your car? I can't seem to find a store that sells them. If you or any of your subscribers know of a place, could you let me know? This video is still very relevant, and I enjoyed watching it.Thanks a bunch!
k979 model if i geus right there where 4 models a porsche a rally car drift car and truck but all hade the same chassis
amazing cog, i like it omg
Well done buddy! Is this one of the super cheap 1,70 USD servo?
+Remote Addicted no closer to 2.65
Really nice video but quick question will it drift fine without the angle mod as it is my first rc and don't want to spend a lot of money or break something
yes it drifts just fine without the mod but with more steering angle it drift better so try to get the most angle with the stock servo so your not breaking anything :D
@@HowToDIYRc Thanks for fast reply!
@@HowToDIYRc and another thing is that is it better with locked differential to drift
that is a must have without a lock diff it those drift but not so good
@@HowToDIYRc Thanks again!
What size the metal ball head in the servo sir?
nice i used super glue.Are you worried at all about not having a servo saver?
no, not really + we got plenty of spare gears for this servo and it's almost twice as strong as the 5gram servo that holds up to all my abuse then the 9gram servo without a servo saver shut do be oke
Hey i have got a prob i have connected the 9g servo to my car k989 but it did not work why? I guess because 5g servo requires less voltage I guess
how much voltage do you messeure ? shut be 5v
I am often asked about the sharpening of RC DRIFT.
Oh cool 👍
What kind of battery did you use ?
Im make a normal rc car to drift car can i buy this on aliexpreess and can i install this servo to my 1/10 car ?
Hmm 1/10 scale needs a bigger and full metal gear servo check my vids on the wltoys 12428/FY03
can someone design 3d printable top plate for it? it would be amazing!!
did you lose your top plate or are you trying to safe weight?
@@HowToDIYRc I didn't even received my car yet( can't wait ) , I just thought it would be cool if it would be printable upgrade:)
oh i see in joy this little rocket on wheels it super little rc car and very durable too :D
Where did you get the wing from?
its a oem wltoys k979 part
I’m making an active rear wing for k969 brushless upgrade and turning it into a touring car it’s gna be linked to the braking I need a pretty big one though. Using a slim wing servo and rc4gs transmitter/receiver. I’ll share a video when I’m done!
Plz help me
how can i help you?
I have Wltoys K989 it keeps cutting off soon as you start speeding. I have to turn it on and of again then it works it looks like it keeps overheating to quick. can anyone advice me.
i think you drivertrain is running ruf causing the motor draw to much amps for the esc and both overheat so check how smooth the metal driveshaft turns
@@HowToDIYRc I'm going to check it out. I appreciate your advice.
It's better the stock servo
stock servo is crap
But this is too slow than the stock
cool
+E Will ye not bad really liking the extra steering angle now we want to do the same for my audi 😃
What kind tongue you use to talk is this video? did u get from miracle-mart?
atleast i'm making vids where are yours?
I like your accent, ignore that last comment
