Whever you buy the new or the old version, which are basically the same but with some aluminum parts in the new ver, you won't be able to order replacement parts. Some of them are available, but the most important ones, those who break easily, are not. Steering cups (8052) are already broken on mine, only after 2 runs. Banggood seller said some of them would be released soon, but soon might be a year. And diffs are known to be quickly worn-out...
Like the chassis with that kind of price . It looks almost the same as V2 but with RTR of a esc120A while V2 RTR is 80A. Other than that, can’t tell any more differences. I think with chassis without electronic for V2, u can be upgrade to V3 and also get the body V3 also.
It would cost more to up grade the V2 to a V3 because of all the Anodized metal (Aluminum) parts instead of plastic, the 120a esc & better motor then V2 & it's only around $40 more for the V3 then a V2!
Jake there are actually 4 versions of 1/8 scales the 9116 80a V1 the 120a V2 - 9116 & 08427 model #'s of exact same truck and then there's the new 9116 V3. Banggoods 9116 V3 has a 4274 1800kv motor rated for max voltage of 25volts (6S) while Gearbest 9116 V3 has a 4068 2150kv motor 23volts max so no 6S or barely? The 08427 model Pirate V2 120a 4068 2000kv motor which also has max voltage of 23volts So you decide ! All are bad-ass and can handle 4S awesomeness!
Just got that beast but without a battery and a charger. Do you know what kind of battery it can support? Please send a link if you can.. and which charger should I buy as well?
Everyone who is trying to find this V3 good luck, IT DOESNT EXIST theres clearly been some mixup because this: ZD Racing 9021-V3 is the correct car/chassis i dunno wtf going on but it looks like the right shell on the wrong car
I have looked at these for a while now, but havent seen this version 3 yet, it looks like the best one yet n makes it more tempting, just one thing is how is getting replacement parts for it
You can mainly find parts on aliexpress. There was a webshop in US, emphobby, which sell ZD racing parts, but he got back feedback recently. I would never use this truck on 6s. The differentials doesn't have the size of most of the 1/8 scales, the drive train isn't purpose to be use on 6s,, claim this, is for commercial advertising.. + I would never put big soft pack batteries in a so small battery tray (yes the battery tray is the smallest you can find in a 1/8, only 138mm long, 2s hardcase are even very tight inside). But for the today price, less than 300$, it can be nice, if you don't expect to bash it like a better brand.
@@NobodyNoWhereElse Your absolutely right - No way it can handle 6S even the Vkar Bison DHK Zombie or the Great JLB Cheetah 120a extreme were never made to handle a 6S lipo because the suspension components & frame parts will shortly fall to pieces even with a 120a Esc and a 1800 or 2000Kv motor the rest of these can't hang with 6S... If I bought the ZD racing 9116 V3 it would only be used on 4S but it's still a great deal for less then $280 with shipping so will still get the Arrama Kraton for an exclusive 6S basher! Still love your reviews! : )
@@IgotHeliFever switch off when not in use is one of the most knowledgeable rc guys here on youtube. You guys should check out his channel. He does something not many people do on here....He takes apart the whole truck and gives detailed info on all the parts. Such a great channel. Also check out Japan rc adventures. He runs his dhk maximus on 6s 😁
This truck looks nice but I have heard nothing but horror stories about their cheap pot metal diffs that do last at all. Now maybe they addressed that with this new version. I'd definitely wait for time to tell. Also you are right about parts stevo. I love my cheetah but I absolutely hate having to wait 2-3 weeks on parts to come. It was my first hobby grade truck but now that I own a bunch of rc's I'm not worried about the wait anymore. You will definitely be able to find parts it's just a matter of how long the wait. It be cool to see one on your channel. I'd be something not many other yters have.
Hi jake ,i to have brought 1 of these trucks but mine s seem to come with different motor its came with a kb4068 kv1800 and could you advise me on battery as the ad from banggood said 4s 6000mah and would i get different speed from a 3s to 4s ? Thanks m8
Why the hell did they make the body too short? I mean it makes zero sense. It doesn't even hide the electronics. That would bug the hell out of me. It does look nice. I can't get over that. Know what I mean Jake?
Your can get this less motor esc for 129 bucks. Also you should mention the transmitter green "on" led blinds you when your trying to drive it! Lol I have one look on gearbestor banggood it's 129 bucks us with no electrics
@@JakeBilling hey man check out integy website the have a sweet 1/8 scale hidden behind a bunch of menus I just bought one it's the integy i8-mt super nice big bore all aluminum shocks metal chassis metal shock towers ect big brushless motor and I got it for 149 bucks us they just upped the price to 220 after the holidays but still smoking deal and it come with the sweet flysky transmitter
I have been in contact with Integy before Christmas regarding said truck, they're not currently in a position to offer the truck to me for a product based review and testing. It's a shame, I'd love to help promote their brilliant looking product.
Thanks for coming through with a video! I’m very happy to watch the video but rather disappointed with plastic quality of the truck. Either way, now I know thanks to you!!! Thanks again~
Hi, I just bought this model, and I broke, on bang good, I search the parts with the reference numbers eg 8132 and I find nowhere, can you help me ... thank you in advance
So, I'm looking at these at www.banggood.com/search/zd-racing-pirates-2.html and noticed they have four variants. So, I know there is a top speed difference, but I also noticed the 4th one having different collored exteriour as well as bright metal internals. Not sure if those metal internals replaces plastics, or if theese parts are black metal on the other three? The price tag is about the same, and I want to buy one that lasts as long as possible, but it's for my kids as well so I think 80kph is more than enough. Is it possible to limt the top speed ? Also, I find it a little strange the original price of the fastes one with more metal internals seeams to cost less, anyone recon why?
Do you think the Pirates 2 V3 is close to or better then the Zombie 8e ! I also want a cheaper Basher to let wife compete with my Zombie 8e ? Shush!! don't tell her that they'll both be Mine anyway! Hahaha! : ) : )
@@hafezmuhtaseb6711 Yea! Man I love the Cheetah Extreme 120a 6S but I want to keep this under $300 with batteries & spares & stuff because I also want to buy the Arrma Kraton for extreme Bashing ! : )
@@hafezmuhtaseb6711 Already have the Zombie 8e for about 4 yrs - this one would be so the wife and I can bash around together and the Kraton will be for my alone time doing extreme Bashing but they'll all 3 or 4 maybe mine in the end! : )
Thanks Jake been looking at that exact truck for 4 days but have to wait till the first of next month to pull the trigger! : ) Oh! the agony ... : ) hahaha!
Really like this truck can't go wrong with the price and the upgrades and powerful batteries with charger 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪

That servo is smooth, great video and see that motor at 8:35 it’s kind of not straight
Im really excited because my dad is going to buy that on phillipines!!🥳🥳🤯
Looks like a great piece of kit. Concerned slightly about the battery tray.

@Richard Damari
Get a real job, shit sack!

When the 'Billing Big Bash' coming? This thing looks like it could eat a small child!...the Orange on Black looks really nice!
I will be filming this truck on Saturday, it's an absolute animal! Bicycle tyres here we come! haha
😍🤘
Cant wait for the running videos and speed runs

Ty sir, I've been wanting one for a bit, not impressed with the rustler I've bought, nothing to it for $ I spent on it.
Looking forward to seeing this abused "Billing style" 💪🏻
Haha! "Billing Style" Made my day!

Love it man great review the lay out reminds me of the Arrma set up. Looking forward to the bash vid 👍😊
Great unbox mate, how would this compare and stand up next to the kraton by arrma ?
Looks awesome dude! I’d be glueing them body washers on for sure lol. Look forward to seeing you open this beast up 👌🏻

I hope u review 9021-v3 truggy version of that too, sir
very nice good video
I'm really thinking about buying one good quality
Wow what a cool car, but I m Traxxas Main. Great Video
I want a 8th scale but it's got to be a X Maxx killer I don't like the losi
by the way.....that's anodized aluminium, not brushed.....big difference.
This unboxing was stellar!!!! One question though, is this designed to take one 6s lipo, or 2 3s lipos?
Thank you, it's designed to take one 4 or 6s pack.

Man it looks tough
Man just ordered it thanks !
Please advise what battery I can use . Prefer 4s for long term life.
Can it run on lipo 4s.
@jake billing what is the battery spec sir!
Im thinking about getting the zd racing 9020 (1/8buggy ) version. Just curious about the differentials? Great video!
Hi
I have this 120 amp truck and wondering if the esc can handle 6s on short runs
Nice vid
That looks pretty good, are the spares in the uk?
i like this car
Gefällt mir 👍👍👍
Sir can I fit this pirates2 car JLB 21101 wheels??
What is the engine and esc company? Is the battery included? If so, which company?
What's up with this strange sound when you rotate wheels? Haven't heard anything like that on different cars.
Hi,i just want to ask,which is more stronger zd pirates v3 or dhk maxximus.thank you
