The servo saver unscrewed itself upon impact there thanks too its lower quality i suppose it saved the servo still lol. The silver ring it's just screwing that down by hand, which you can do without taking it apart by the looks of it. You can try a bit of blue loctite just above the ring and see if it holds it in place better screwing it up over the loctite and then back down too where you want it too sit. Also do upgrade the esc too a 120a or 150a one too run 4s lipo in this. 2150 kv should be a bit better on 4s for a 1:8th scale buggy even rtr stuff just make sure too get one with a programming card available from banggood as well ofc and you can kind of do a mini review of the esc in the video. Also 3670 size motor should pull fairly low amount of amps on 4s so a good 120a esc should do the job, the racerstar 120a on 4s is a fairly good pick, its 40 usd for the esc & like 7 usd for the programming card.
I can totally understand where Abby is coming from, I've owned a few ZD cars 1:81:10 and 1:16 They all seem to have good performance, handeling and drive so well but also seem to have constant durability issues. I've given them so many chances and it's like a love hate relationship. I think they are always trying to improve which is a good thing although I feel they need to spend a little more effort in product design development and testing for longevity instead of just trying to make the best spec and performance for the $. I love your review but I don't feel a few runs out of the box is a true indication of how good an RC is. Would really like to see some more follow up reviews with your RC cars with maybe a final review 6 months later in order to have a true honest opinion of a vechile
Keep slo-Mo in the videos guys ! I think it gives you a closer look at things you might have missed . You two do a great job filming . I like that try to keep an open mind going in.
Have a ZD racing 4x4 truck. Had to replace the transmitter and receiver after the 3rd charge. For the money There not bad. I still like it! It's not my Maxx. but it's a good jumper! Dig your Video's! Thanks Tony
Hey Saylors! Troy from Troy's Hobbies here! I know you guys have your opinions on ZD Racing products. Just wanted to let you know that I share many of the same feelings about their brand as well. I feel when a person is considering buying one of these cars they should go into it with the understanding that the car is more or less a glorified roller chassis with electronics included. The vehicles are not tuned well or tightened up properly from factory, so always do a full disassembly with their cars. Lock tight everything going into metal and do some good tuning with oils in the diffs and you will have a solid product. Out of the box, though...... lemon.
I love slow mo shots. Could watch them all day long. But I get sometimes youtubers will show the exact same slow mo multiple times or it just doesnt fit in the video and that turns people off. Yalls slow mo placement is always timed well. Feels organic to the flow of the video. Shout out from Nates hometown.
It's a centre diff not a slipper clutch. What you should do is look in the instructions on how to change the oil . Zd make good cars basic upgrades make them great for lots less than branded cars . Keep up the vids but try to no what your talking about 👍
In my opinion, used judiciously, slo-mo footage adds to the enjoyment and entertainment of your videos. It can even serve as a learning tool; just don't over do it.
The way she was ramping, we should call her Airborne Abby! I enjoy the slow-motion video, about the only thing I would like is to have some low-perspective slow-mo video of the ground vehicles...maybe get a sturdy selfie-stick so you don't have to bend over...Also, a cool shot would be to get the ramp, put the phone behind the ramp, facing the iPhone away from the ramp so that the vehicle comes from "overhead" and land down in front of you. Hope you people had a wonderful holiday!
I think the slo-mo on them jumps across the road were great, yeah 5 shots of the SAME thing might be over doing it a bit though. Just a shot or different angles of something is good. Hope you guys and all the viewers enjoyed their Christmas!
@@smellurfingerrcdejesus9176 you illustrate my point perfectly. Go create a RUclips channel. Or provide useful feedback. Or just go away. I don't care which.

Love your slow mo s especially when they look so great Abby Awesome jumps over the whole road. You guys are so enjoyable to watch. Real people real thoughts and opinions. Which you are definitely entitled too. You guys Rock!!!
So - I agree with Abby, and I agree with Nate. The first trucks we bought when we got back into RC were ZD Thunders. I like the performance, I like the look, I like the feel of the controller. BUT - - - - - Every time we took them out for the first month something broke, or fell off, and even a controller stopped working. I was reaching the point that I didn't want to spend another dollar on parts, and even tried to talk Nate and Abby into selling me the one they reviewed - just for parts. I don't recommend buying them if you aren't comfortable replacing parts every time you run them, but if You're like most RC'ers and enjoy a challenge, and like modifying for reliability, and or performance, they're not a bad choice.
I'm with Nate on a ZD racing I've had quite a few of them never had any problems except one time I broke up the slipper clutch but some JB Weld fix that no problem I usually try to bypass the slipper clutch anyway and just oversized the motor so it's not as stressed
I'm the only person in my family who's really into the hobby! Me: that buggy is $220 with a 3s lipo battery! My family: is that a kind of double a battery?😂😂😂
Yea, It does ware them out pretty fast. Oh well the price we pay to have fun. I got some Cheap ones. Like $25 on rims. They actually do not balloon to bad. Making me want to go play. Lol. Got a new toy cyber Monday. A drone, the Holly Stone 700D. Paid $221.32 with free shipping. Saved $51.21 did not want to spend $400 being my first drone. Was looking for distance and run time. But now I think I would go with the DJI - Mavic Mini. It is nice and small, it folds up. It has a carrying case, and the video it way, way better.
@@scottkaluza4156 well, I'm glad you saved money! I'm trying to save up for the Losi maxxis brushless, I'm trying to get a fast short course RC truck (it goes 45-50mph which is plenty fast for me!) And I want good reception for FPV (it comes with a 6 channel spectrum radio which should be great for reception!) And it comes for $250! With AVC! (Active Vehicle Control) I've been asking many RUclipsrs about there appinion and (with price in mind) and I think this is my best option!
About the loose steering servo saver. There is a metal screw that can be tightened, which compresses the spring underneath. Tighten the screw a bit to get a firm and accurate response. Donot tighten the screw fully, otherwise there is no point of the steering servo saver
I don't think these have a slipper clutch guys... just a very open centre diff with very light oil. Easy Fix really... though it does help inexperienced drivers get used to the platform... lock up that centre and it all very much changes!! These ZD Racing 1/8th Buggies look beautiful.. and I've been tempted to purchase a roller of the BX-8E several times at $240 AUD... buy 3 and have spares a plenty but it's the same issues I've seen for a long time... I'm of the opinion if you have a bit of mechanical sympathy... and you're not doing 45ft jumps into oblivion... think you'll be ok with these cars... SLOW MOTION Yes please!! Nice road jumping there Abby!!! Woooo!! This bad boy appears to be an Arrma Typhon clone... .. Good looking one, however, Buy the real thing and enjoy the real support and reliability... as-well as the epic build quality!! and an electronics ensemble that is absolutely proven! 6S for the win!!! Happy New Year Everyone!!!
Abby is absolutely correct! Don't trust ZD! I have a ZD truck that has spent 80% of ownership waiting for replacement parts! It is currently waiting for a new replacement part. The parts are cheap but it takes forever to get them. FYI buy more than 1 just in case! I also have that same esc on my truck. I loved it until recently when it started failing. I have to push the button over and over to get it to turn on. It also no longer turns the power off. Fortunately I am going to unplug it anyway so that's not a big deal. When it is running it is great, unfortunately parts keep breaking!
Nice buggy!! GREAT bashing!! I still have my ZD RACING 1/18 4WD brushless yellow monster truck from 2 years ago and I still love it! In that video Abby liked it better than Dromida! Just saying...😊 SLO-MO is good for exceptional, epic stuff that is unexpected, but slow-mo just for slo-mo sake just makes for too long videos. Thanks Saylors for the honest review!! 💟👍😘
No slipper clutch, only has a center differential, it's just spinning the front wheels, need to put thicker fluid in the diff and it will solve the problem
I absolutely love mine!! Only mods I've done to it were the aluminum steering cups because the first 20 minutes I smoked a curb lol!! And took off the stock 13 tooth pinion gear and put on a 16 and the speed and tourqe and considerably noticeable. Always make sure you check your screws. And the front bumper is kinda weak. Looking for a replacement but can't find anything if anyone has somewhere I can go for a bumper replacement.
Hi Saylors. Watched this video with an open mind. I'm kinda partial to more of the racing line of vehicles as opposed to bashing but this is a very good vehicle for the price point. Compared to the Arrma Typhon I think this takes it as everything on the Typhon is a composite material as opposed to aluminum. Shocks, shock towers chassis as well as other parts on the Typhon is composite. Not necessarily a bad thing as it might have a little give to it and take a beating and not break. Thanks for the honest review. Dave
You mentioned you'd link your preferred brand of battery, but I do not see it listed. Keep up the great work, I'm glad to see you guys give every vehicle a fair shake, even considering the past performance records of the brand.
I depends what the slow-mo is. When a car crashes it’s an asset to see what all the car went through. It helps to see how it handles landings and it cool in dirt, sand or snow to see what the tires are actually doing. Maybe a wheelie or a little tire spinning. Just normal driving in slow-mo would get old. Maybe a short speed ramp now and then would be fun.
Great video as always guys! I did want one if these but I choose the vrx racing cobra 1/8 man I would love to see you guys do a review on it I haven't had any issues with it! As always guys I'm rc sailing!
I'm with Abby. I don't care for ZD racing stuff. I like the Team Associated 1/8 scale buggy and it doesn't cost much more and it's a lot more rugged. Love ya guys...🐾🐾🐾😎
I'm on the fence with this one. It was fast and durable. I want to see it ramped! Slow motion is a must, are you kidding me right now? Who doesn't love slow motion? 🔥🔥 🔥🔥 🔥.
That's probably the best driving I've ever seen Abby do,with a Gonzo buggy that she doesn't even like.... Lol😎😆, Andres lobo was cool until the gerbil started singing
Uh oh,. you said the word without IT being in the video! I hope you guys had a great Xmas! ( It looks like a winner in my books. Sorry Abby ) ( LOVE the slow-mow )
Looks a whole lot like the HSP/Exceed RC/Redcat Racing buggies. Probably same factory. The alloy parts b e n d! The Arrma Typhon BLX is well worth the extra and parts are more available.
Don't worry about butthead peoples comments guys. If they don't like something you guys do then they can just watch something else. I love what you guys do and how you record and edit so more people to ya okay
I personally dont care for a lot of slow mo, but yall don't over do it like some others do. On 1 or 2 of the most exciting jumps or crashes is fine. My problem with the budget Chinese rc's is I cant run to the local hobby shop and buy parts.
You basically nailed it. Break something with this RC and you've gotta wait for parts. It's nice to have a couple other rigs you can run while waiting on said parts. Or, stay stocked up on parts before they break if the budget allows. Very good point. 👍⚓😎
There's no slipper clutch it has a centre diff. The diffs on mine are set up quite nice (I've recently bought the Pirates 3 9020 roller) The rear shocks needed topping up with shock fluid as they were only half full. little bit of 80w and they're good now. The fronts felt fine. The real weak point from what I can see it the piddly little motor mount. It's only held on with two screws to the bottom of the chassis and that also the adjustment and it's moved twice on me now (once at speed which led to a bodyshell destroying crash) I have read though that the mount from the Truggy/monster truck version of this chassis fits. It replaces the rear part of the centre diff 'cage' and is fixed by three screws instead (as the adjustable bit is on the bracket rather than the whole bracket moving) I got one on order from Ali Express along with a new shell. Even with these 'hop ups' I'm still about at half the cost of an Arrma Typhon 3S. and the gearing/esc/motor are handling some 70C 5000 CNHL 4S batts a treat
It's a nice buggy, yet it needs a better brushless motor but hey for the price it's quite good. I've been driving these brushless buggys for a decade and I can tell that it's a good entry in the hobby. Thanks for sharing. Like your videos. Have a nice week The Saylors ;)
Used to glue small earphone magnets on the bottom of my tool tray and use it as a body clip finder(man those was expensive for a 12yr old way back when 😂 but since neodymium magnets are everywhere nowadays I'd suggest gluing it to your ramps and do sweeps with it maybe even attach a but so you can use the tripod as a handle 😋
Yes, slow mo but they can't be more than 3 seconds tops. Looks good. Gives us a chance to really see it. Thanks! I'd love to learn more about the ZD racing "impression". Any other videos where it's talked about?
Guys love the vids but i believe that is a center diff, no slipper clutch. I also have a spot i been bashing at that might work for your videos, up in the west end of huntington. Good vid guys
8th scale buggys dont seem like bashers to me but hey everyone has an opinion and the slo mo is ok Zd racing has seem to come up a lot though I'd love to race it in a box stock race.
I don't think this model has a slipper clutch it is a three differential set up like most 1/8th scale offroad buggies, it is not usual to have a slipper in this scale unlike the 1/10th scale offroad buggies which do have one.
Please Nate stop calling it a slipper clutch,1/8ths don't have them,it's a centre diff. Change the diff oil to 10k in the centre with 5k in the front and 2k in the rear.

Just to let you know that look like it had a center diff so that would mean there is no slipper clutch
Yeah the steering servo saver needs to be screwed down tighter
Does it really need that slipper? It looks like a Center diff on the spur gear. Lock it up and tune differentials.
@@angelocerrato8425 my friend have one of this, is no slipper clutch, only a central diff and a fixed spur gear on that diff.
The servo saver unscrewed itself upon impact there thanks too its lower quality i suppose it saved the servo still lol.
The silver ring it's just screwing that down by hand, which you can do without taking it apart by the looks of it.
You can try a bit of blue loctite just above the ring and see if it holds it in place better screwing it up over the loctite and then back down too where you want it too sit.
Also do upgrade the esc too a 120a or 150a one too run 4s lipo in this. 2150 kv should be a bit better on 4s for a 1:8th scale buggy even rtr stuff just make sure too get one with a programming card available from banggood as well ofc and you can kind of do a mini review of the esc in the video.
Also 3670 size motor should pull fairly low amount of amps on 4s so a good 120a esc should do the job, the racerstar 120a on 4s is a fairly good pick, its 40 usd for the esc & like 7 usd for the programming card.

No slipper clutch in 1/8 scale buggies all you have to do is thicken up the center diff fluid to provide better power to the rear and front

Tighten up the servo saver adjustment.

I like the slow-mo. You guys are careful not to overdo it. I like the variety of shots so it's not the same views all the time.
Looks good to me at that price! I enjoy a few slow-mo shots in the videos.
Love the slow motion!

It's good to have some slow mo in each video. just not too much, sprinkle it in with love. Your doin just fine,
I’ve had one of these in my amazon cart for a while. I need to pull the trigger
Isnt it cheaper where we linked it?
Yes slow motion look's cool

Slow motion is a must, are you kidding me right now? Who doesn't love slow motion? 🔥🔥 🔥🔥 🔥.
That's probably the best driving I've ever seen Abby do,with a Gonzo buggy that she doesn't even like....
Lol😎😆, Andres lobo was cool until the gerbil started singing
I love the slomo shots but I think you should only use them for the very best shots
Love the slow-mo shots
hey rcsaylors did you guys have a good christmas!
Uh oh,. you said the word without IT being in the video! I hope you guys had a great Xmas! ( It looks like a winner in my books. Sorry Abby ) ( LOVE the slow-mow )
I really like the slow mo shots. Excellent review Nate & Abby!! ⚓⚓
As I know there is no slipper clutch on this buggy
Pirate2, piarate3, all the same chassis just change tires, NO SLIPPER CLITCH CENTER DIFF!
Looks a whole lot like the HSP/Exceed RC/Redcat Racing buggies. Probably same factory. The alloy parts b e n d! The Arrma Typhon BLX is well worth the extra and parts are more available.
Slow motion on the jumps and wrecks is cool
How about a best of slow mo reel?
Don't worry about butthead peoples comments guys. If they don't like something you guys do then they can just watch something else. I love what you guys do and how you record and edit so more people to ya okay
Slow motion is great...in moderation. Maybe throttle back on the slo-mo just a little.
Nice driving Abby!!! Some of the jumps over the road looked perfect!!! Your driving skills have improved.
I personally dont care for a lot of slow mo, but yall don't over do it like some others do. On 1 or 2 of the most exciting jumps or crashes is fine. My problem with the budget Chinese rc's is I cant run to the local hobby shop and buy parts.
You basically nailed it. Break something with this RC and you've gotta wait for parts. It's nice to have a couple other rigs you can run while waiting on said parts. Or, stay stocked up on parts before they break if the budget allows. Very good point. 👍⚓😎
Love a few slow mode shots
There's no slipper clutch it has a centre diff. The diffs on mine are set up quite nice (I've recently bought the Pirates 3 9020 roller) The rear shocks needed topping up with shock fluid as they were only half full. little bit of 80w and they're good now. The fronts felt fine. The real weak point from what I can see it the piddly little motor mount. It's only held on with two screws to the bottom of the chassis and that also the adjustment and it's moved twice on me now (once at speed which led to a bodyshell destroying crash) I have read though that the mount from the Truggy/monster truck version of this chassis fits. It replaces the rear part of the centre diff 'cage' and is fixed by three screws instead (as the adjustable bit is on the bracket rather than the whole bracket moving) I got one on order from Ali Express along with a new shell. Even with these 'hop ups' I'm still about at half the cost of an Arrma Typhon 3S. and the gearing/esc/motor are handling some 70C 5000 CNHL 4S batts a treat
It's a nice buggy, yet it needs a better brushless motor but hey for the price it's quite good. I've been driving these brushless buggys for a decade and I can tell that it's a good entry in the hobby. Thanks for sharing. Like your videos. Have a nice week The Saylors ;)
Bias is not a bad thing. As long as you’re not lying about not having bias.
Used to glue small earphone magnets on the bottom of my tool tray and use it as a body clip finder(man those was expensive for a 12yr old way back when 😂 but since neodymium magnets are everywhere nowadays I'd suggest gluing it to your ramps and do sweeps with it maybe even attach a but so you can use the tripod as a handle 😋
Love the channel! Just getting into the hobby!
Hi i just subbed to u yesterday and i like your videos!! :)
Yes, slow mo but they can't be more than 3 seconds tops. Looks good. Gives us a chance to really see it. Thanks! I'd love to learn more about the ZD racing "impression". Any other videos where it's talked about?
Guys love the vids but i believe that is a center diff, no slipper clutch. I also have a spot i been bashing at that might work for your videos, up in the west end of huntington. Good vid guys
An extra $80 for an Arrma Tyhpon 3s. $6 more for a 26 tooth pinion and you're travelling at over 80 mph.
It's a no brainer!
8th scale buggys dont seem like bashers to me but hey everyone has an opinion and the slo mo is ok Zd racing has seem to come up a lot though I'd love to race it in a box stock race.
The slo-mo is great for special shots, but don't be tempted to over-use it as that reduces its effectiveness.
I think that this buggy is good for the price. You can’t find many cheapish 1/8 scale cars. Plus it is 4 wheel drive which is a plus.
Nice guys like the little buggy👍
Happy New Year Saylors!!!! Not a bad looking buggy! Do you tend to jump a little bit to help the ramp of the vehicle? LOL!!! I know I used to!
Lol we probably do it subconsciously 😂🤣👍⚓😎
LOVE the slow mo
Where do you find a slipper clutch on that????????????????
Yes to slo-mo👍
Maybe sometimes the repeating slo-mo gets a little over done?
It’s kinda like a great meal but the potatoes are just slightly over salted.
I don't think this model has a slipper clutch it is a three differential set up like most 1/8th scale offroad buggies, it is not usual to have a slipper in this scale unlike the 1/10th scale offroad buggies which do have one.
Not on every video. But I love slow mo.
Love the slo mo 👍🏾
Please Nate stop calling it a slipper clutch,1/8ths don't have them,it's a centre diff. Change the diff oil to 10k in the centre with 5k in the front and 2k in the rear.
semperatis
I woujd go pretty much similar to the that ,;)
May be 7&3k but 10 in the middle .
@@mark-1rc502 That's the standard beginning set up,but the 10/5/2's Jared Tebo's comp set up.
