Very cool looking RC Porche, love the metal chassis! I think 30 KPH is fine for stock. With some upgrades like a 3S battery + ESC and a new radio it would top 50 KPH easily. Great video editing and music!
Hi Fannar! Yeah, it’s a sweet little thing. Thanks a lot, bro!
Nice vehicle good video
Thank you, Carlos!
Your barn is the perfect place for a drift circuit.
Yeah, except for those poles in the middle. Every time I run RC’s over there I run into them a million times 😅
Rc cars have come along way from the 80s 👍🏻
Yeah, and the prices are better now 🙂
Best tunes i ever heard on an rc video-Thumbs up!!
Thank you for watching, Icabod!
Hi Mikael - that's a great little car - I would love to have one of those! Looks like a lot of fun and a well engineered chassis. Enjoy your Sunday my friend! :)
Hi Mark! Yeah, love the looks of the chassis and the car is quite fun to drive too. Enjoy the Sunday Mark!
Oooo am liking this car ALOT 😲 think this is a Tick ✔ perfect size for my small car collection and by god its a nippy little Fella , basically a basher , drifter and Speed machine 😀 Love the Lights to 😲 wish i had a place like that to practise drifting 👍🥰👍awesome video and am grateful for you sharing this otherwise I wouldn't of seen it 👍😊👍😎👍
Thanks a lot for watching, Tony! Yeah, she’s a cool little one. I certainly had fun with it. The refurbished barn is great but the poles in the middle are always a challenge. After filming I drove it straight into a wall and later a poll. Luckily only the body broke 🙂
Cool little RC,great review
Thanks, buddy!
Lol epic background music just love the way u move the cam while showing the car
Waiting for u to reach 1 millions subs as soon as possible
Ha ha, thank you, but I do not think my channel will ever hit 1 million subscribers, he he. But thanks a lot for watching! I enjoy my little hobby channel and meeting new RC friends here.
☺☺ nice
Wow ! You have soooo many chairs in your barn 😮 (cool video too 😄👍)
Ha ha, Derek, yes! Good for sitting. The car is nice too 😅☺️👍🏻
Cool little car and great music :)
Thanks, Mattias! It’s a fun and sparky little one!
Hi, Mikael. This ZD has a really nice chassis. A small car for moments of fun. I don’t like the leds that light up under the car, but it’s all about taste. You picked the right music for that kind of car. Thanks for sharing, great Sunday to you.
Hi Alex! I absolutely love this chassis. Nice to see something I haven’t seen before 🙂 Yeah, personally I prefer normal LED’s (headlights etc) but again, it’s cool to try something new. Ha ha, yeah, the LED’s and the music fits good together 🙂 Thanks. Hope you had a great Sunday, my friend.
i love your rc
Thanks a lot for watching, Kevin
That's a cool looking little street racer Mikael. Looks a bit twitchy at high speed, think I would turn the throttle down if I had one. Great stuff my friend. Hope you are all well mate.
Thanks, Rob! Yeah, I liked this one a lot. Mainly for the reasons that it's different from what I usually run (on road, the chassis, lights etc.). It was difficult to do the speed test without the dual rate. But it's fun blasting around. But yeah, for the more controllable runs inside the barn it will be good turning down the throttle a little. All is good here, Rob. Hope you are good too, my mate.
The insides of this car look super pro, but it seems there arent any spare parts for this, so it really is buy it, break it and done...
Great video btw
Thank you! I’ve seen a couple of spare parts on Banggood and eBay. But yeah, not plenty around 🤨
Have you happened to find optional pinion gearing? I can’t
No. But I haven’t been looking though.
looks great, but what about the spare parts? 🤔
Yeah, important! As always with these one, they are not everywhere. But I have seen some on Banggood at least.
how badly did you break the body? did you find it broke relatively easily?
It's the usual: cracked in the front. I have broken many of mine like that (with a front collision). Also the more expensive Tamiya bodies. This one is not the thickest lexan/polycarbonate but I think even a better quality material would have broken with my driving :-)
Hey you could take your 144001 and use the 25c battery for it and see how much faster it will go in that Porsche.
Yeah, got plans to try out some other batteries for it too. Just need a new GPS.
Looks like as soon as you let off the throttle, the car comes to a quick stop as if the drag brake force was set to max. Does it feel that way or am I going nuts?
Hmm, it does? Not sure, I can't remember. What I remember was that it was running and spinning good, so I can't imagine a maximum drag brake. Maybe it's just me breaking?
@@NordicRC Thanks for the response. I guess I was seeing things and I'm glad that's the case. Looks like a very solid kit.
Do you think there are oil-filled damper options for that?
Not sure if ZD Racing makes a set, but it will be easy to find some cheap ones in the right length.
Woww...fast ... spettacolare... ciao dall'Italia
Yeah, it's a cool chassis and a cool little car to run for sure!
@@NordicRC grazie del bel video ...ho acquistato anche io la ZD drift... ciao
Can you open it up and take a look at it's diff? Is it still plastic like all the other ZD Racing 1/16 models?
Hi Kevin. I’ve been wondering about the same! Would love to open it up and see, if I can find the time. My ZD Racing Raptors MT-16 lasted 10 minutes with that diff (check the previous video). But I think with the smaller wheels the diffs will not be put under that much pressure. And the housing and fitment of it all looks different too . Tamiya is actually famous for making some of the strongest diffs - with a lot of plastic. Take the old 1984 Grasshopper. One can put a wild brushless set up in it and it’s all right. So the gear mesh and everything has a lot to say too. Sometimes metal will wear out faster than plastic. But will definitely do some more runs with this, but the diff seems fine so far.
I just ordered one of those chargers and I haven't gotten it yet by the way is that in English at all in that manual?
Yeah, ha ha. All in Chinese. And it's even not the manual for the S16, but the D16. crazy.
@@NordicRC I did get the charger but I swear it's called a B3.
Hello, are there spare parts for this item? I've searched and can't find anything. Thank you
I remember I found several on Banggood when it was released not not sure if they are still around.
i got this car today... great car... any idea where to order a larger 18-20 tooth pinion for it??not sure or shaft size etc..but i do see it has adjustment on motor mount which is great.. thanks
Cool, you got it. No, I haven't sorry.
@@NordicRC yes min seems to get hot enough with its current set up..and 20 mph is fast enough anyway...car seems great so far...very smooth gearsand tight steering compared to a959 .,,metal servo is fst and strong..if i up grade i would use saame pinion with a 4600kv motor iused in my ud 1601... it would be close to 40 mph imo on stock battery..thanks
I don't know if I'm mistaken but I've seen someone else GPS this car and they got 28 miles per hour out of it that's faster by 10 than what you're getting so if you put the 25c from the WL toy in there I wonder how much more miles per hour you would get out of it and then try a 30C on there and see what more you could get out of it.
Seen a couple of speed tests with this. Think it was Tomley RC one of them. Same result.
How would you rate the steering linkage tightness and ball bearings in wheels? better or more slop than a 144001?? i really like the look of this car.... i wonder if the diffs/gears are metal and can handle a more powerful motor??? 30-40 mph set up would be nice imo...thanks for sharing..
Thanks! Been too long since I had a look at this one, so it‘s impossible to remember. Overall I remember everything was of good quality (compared to the price)
@@NordicRC yes, it seems pretty nice... unfortunately no one talks about its diffs etc...thanks
Definitely broke my diffs on the ZD Racing MT after 5 minutes (check out the video) ... but the diffs on this one seems better. Maybe they are the same ... can’t remember ... or maybe the smaller wheels/tires help
What do you think you think that's a 380 brushless or 390 brushless?
Brushless motors aren't really measured in the same way than brushed. But it's one of the smaller ones. Probably somewhere around 2440.
@@NordicRC is that KV? It's still should be faster.
@@NordicRC i heard its also 3300kv.... so i think a 4600 or maybe a 6800kv on stock 2s would wake it up... not sure about gears are they metal or plastic??? no one seems to say...
you know that's sad that's a brushless motor that should be going faster than your hbx and it's going about the same speed as the hailstorm and that's brushed. Something's wrong with that picture.
Nothing wrong with the picture. Weight and gear ratio has a lot more to say than if it's brushed or brushless. And a brushed motor can produce more RPM than a brushless - if it got more RPM :-)
Put a 18 tooth pinion on it, do 60
Think it would require a new radio too. Doesn’t have dual rate.
I've got a zd raptor 18 tooth pinion on it, goes like a rocket 🚀
First!! Checkin it our now brother! Im big into the 1/5 gas game just got my Rcmax dual splashed supreme 55 in its bonkers unboxing vid is up on my channel if you wanna check it out! but i like to mess with tbe smaller electrics too!👍👊
Thanks, bro! Sounds nice!
