Yup .. Love this area for test runs.. It really shows which rigs got it and which don't.. lol .. Thanks for sharing tony another great video brother.. :)
Look into OFNA/HoBao Hyper for parts since zd is slacking. The guys from the FB ZD Racing group say the Steering cups and hubs from the OFNA fit the 9116. I saw on Aussie RC playground that the Duratrax 835e (which is also the FS Racing e9.5) also accepts some OFNA/HoBao parts like the steering cups/hubs. Wonder if the stronger machined upgrade steering cups for the duratrax 835e would work on the zd Racing 9116...
I have the 08427 120Amp that came with 2- 2s Batteries and a Y adapter for 4s Running. First day I got it ( Sept10th 2020) I put a Single 2s 5000mAh in it. Went Fast enough to Pull Wheelies when Burping the Throttle. At Half Throttle, Hit a tree with the LF Tire. Didn't break but Stripped the Screws and Lost the Spacers that Attached the Steering Knuckle to the Arms... Now I have to Wait for Banggood to contact me for Warranty and/or Try to Mod something to fix it. I waited 3 Months to get this Truck, Now I have to Wait more to Fix it. No Local Hobby Shop Close to where I live to see if they might have something that could work.
Great to see you back at it again bashing! I've been real busy with work the past couple months and working on my car but finally got some free time to rc. Great video Tony.
Great video, nice beating and jumping! Can you recommend any upgrades to this car - maybe a metal version of the plastic part you broke in your video. Thanks!
Wd40 all plastics and it should help with it snapping,will help make it flex more,did it back in day with my tmaxx b4 I went with rpm,my daughters bl emaxx is still going strong with stock plastic a arms wd40 treated skatepark bashin and all,so use on plastics that need to flex,:)
One of the Centre shaft Dog bones was wrong size from stock, kept coming out, replacement ones wrong size too, radio/receiver is crap very glitchy and range problems ( although I think ZD have upgraded their radios now), a lot of small parts can only be brought in an expensive assembly of parts, had to get my friend to machine a few parts with a lathe which I could not find. Steering arm/servo saver parts came off and got lost. Wheels aren't very strong, two cracked very easily. Body is weak and brakes easily. Had a few parts break such as c mount, that's normal but are about 5-8 times the cost of ZD 1/10th scale. Not that that's a huge issues considering it is 1/8th but still. ESC glue came undone, battery straps broke Basically had problems from day one and spent more time fixing then driving.
Wow. that's a lot of problems. I avoided half of those because I had the roller and installed other electronics that I knew worked pretty well. I did break a battery strap. Those things are super cheap. Going to get better ones to use for it.
hello i order one but for 180 euros, is the 80 esc version is in promotion, the controller is new, and i think they fis some of the problems that the first units have.what oil you put in the shocks front and rear?
Yes! Been waiting on a good running video of this one since the beginning of the year 😂 the rigs looking good, definitely for the price it’s totally worth picking one up
@@CCxRC By the time I've saved up enough to finally afford one I'd probably feel much more inclined instead to put it in a glass box, build a temple around it, and worship the thing.
@@IgotHeliFever No they don't. They have a few Limited Parts. I just broke mine.. More like stripped the screws and lost the spacers that hold the knuckle on and they don't have them. I was only doing like 15-18MPH when I hit the LF tire on a tree. I was running a Single 7.4v 2s when it happened ( same day I got it.. day I posted this.)
Hmm, mine arrived broken right out of the box. I'm very disappointed. It was a birthday present for my son but Banggood totally spoiled it. The rc car comes in a box without any protective material to protect it from the hard conditions of (air) transport. As a result the right upper suspension rod was already broken. Come on!!! Now I need to do a RMA-procedure. That is going to take some time. What am I to do? My son's birthday is August 12th and today is August 6th...... See my video: @
lol . you think that's mean . im running a 2000kv 4076 brushless motor with standard gearing with hobbywing 150amp esc on 6s . 2x zop power 3s 3500mah 60c batteries in my zd racing pirates 2 its totally insane and gives my jlb j3speed a run for its money and makes my dhk maximus look slow . lmao
thx . its totally off the rails on 6s and its seem to handle it np so far . everything is stock except electrics . im using HD 20kg waterproof servo so all electrics are waterproof . I give this zd hell and it takes it with ease . I do jumps at bmx track or skate park , drag races on all surfaces and playing in mud water ect . after each run I just remove battery then hose it off all good so far . its built really tough .
I've had this for about a year. Plastics are very cheap. Seems to break in the same spot Everytime. I did buy the upgraded aluminum for it. But it really needs a front bumper and I can't find one for it , stock shocks are amazing on this ! Only one place in the US I know of that has upgraded parts or any parts .watch those stock rims too. They WILL crack
I heard that the Traxxas Slash wide front bumper will fit with very little modding and bolts right up - there's a youtube video of this here somewhere!
@tone2791 From which shop you get the aluminium upgrades? I try to found the "8041 front lower suspesion arm" without luck, only at aliexpress founded (the plastic) but it's expensive. >-)
@@tone2791 I tried ordering from them but the site wouldn't accept my order so don't think they're in business anymore. I ended up ordering from AliExpress. Banggood has some parts but not very much.
If I’m not mistaken this truck is available for like 220 dollars in Banggood rn. They even ship with 2 2S inside. Good deal I think
Nice bash. Cool little spot there
Ouch ... Good jumps though :-) Good to see you back there,
Yup .. Love this area for test runs.. It really shows which rigs got it and which don't.. lol .. Thanks for sharing tony another great video brother.. :)
Haha. That’s the truth. This one showed it can’t take quite a bit before actually breaking.
@@CCxRC can or can't?
hahaha you said you weren't going to kill it! Whoops! Awesome video!
I meant on the first jump in the park. I wanted to get to the bigger ones...which I did. 👍
the servo sounded like a squeaky toy when you first started so awesome
yeah. I think it is underpowered for this rig
Good review. Keep up the good work 👍

Thanks Chris! Good to be back out bashing. Need to get my X-maxx back out there
Great video, nice beating and jumping! Can you recommend any upgrades to this car - maybe a metal version of the plastic part you broke in your video. Thanks!
😎👍looked pretty good even though it broke at the end it took some big hits.
I agree. Handled real well, and took some really hard hits that have broken other cars.
Really enjoyed your video bud, i've got one coming and cannot wait :-)
Nice set up, goes better with this set up then the stock 80A 3674 2150kv motor on 4S! I should know cause I owned one!
That’s wild. This setup is quick....I’ll give it that.
Stagnetti's Revenge!
You had a great time at least! Nice bashing Tony :)
I had a blast! It was a super fun truck to drive. As you can see...I was going flip crazy.
I know this video is old, but the bx trail looks like the one in Chesapeake VA.
It is that trail 😀👍
@@CCxRC lol...the wife and I used to bike that trail when we lived there..no wonder it looked familiar.
Keep up the great content
Not bad overall, but I think the DHK rigs are a better option. Great bash vid Tony! 👍🏻👍🏻

well at least you can get parts for it. i tried to go to emphobby site but says it's not secure
Your one must be much tougher then mine, I broke mine heaps with 10 times less the abuse you put yours through
Did you break the same part? I was surprised by the beating it took.
One of the Centre shaft Dog bones was wrong size from stock, kept coming out, replacement ones wrong size too, radio/receiver is crap very glitchy and range problems ( although I think ZD have upgraded their radios now), a lot of small parts can only be brought in an expensive assembly of parts, had to get my friend to machine a few parts with a lathe which I could not find.

OUCH.......But the metal pan looks to be in good condition.... 8^))
Yes. Your comment makes me wonder where the spare part I ordered is.
Would you recommend this or the cheetah? Thanks
Cheetah.
Cheetah is way better!
Want one, I don't play with my cars as aggressive as sum, the part you broke is common, you can replace it with a metal upgrade.
I couldn’t find a metal upgrade for it, so I ordered the standard replacement part.
Please make comparison video on zd racing pirates and dhk Maximus
hello i order one but for 180 euros, is the 80 esc version is in promotion, the controller is new, and i think they fis some of the problems that the first units have.what oil you put in the shocks front and rear?
I just left the shocks as they came. Felt pretty good to me.
Yes! Been waiting on a good running video of this one since the beginning of the year 😂 the rigs looking good, definitely for the price it’s totally worth picking one up
No the build is bad. As soon as you force the drivetrain to do anything the dog bones slip. Would t buy one unless u want a 300 $ eeekend bash
Check Out Kevin Talbot. He Beats the Hell Out of his and other Banggood Trucks.
@@ravenlorans Ya Kev is a friend of mine
The only place I can find parts is Banggood and it up to three month or more for parts is there any other place I can buy parts?
@@JDJsanddog AliExpress and Amazon. Just type in ZD Racing or ZDRacing in the search.
You know what they say... if you didn't break anything you did not have fun.
I guess I have a lot of fun then
@@CCxRC
By the time I've saved up enough to finally afford one I'd probably feel much more inclined instead to put it in a glass box, build a temple around it, and worship the thing.
Need a beefy strong plastic as RPM.
Pretty sure that isn't available for these :)
@@CCxRC 😂😆👍
You can upgrade that broken part with metal, or one can be more kind with it.
How do i get a parts list?and where to order from?
bangood bro parts list? idk its model # 08427 & 9116 mine knowz no fear!
How many cars can we put on a battery?
ไม่เข้าใจคำถามครับ
Can someone tell me where I can order spare parts for this
Banggood has lots of parts now! search Zd racing parts!

That‘s typical for ZD Racing. They look pretty good at first glance, but they jutst don‘t hold up. And the spare parts support is crap.
