Unboxing: ZD Racing 9116 Pirates 2 Monster Truck Roller

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

I've done a lot of reviews for Banggood in the past, some have been good, some not so much. *cough - Mammoth Blitz - cough. So when I was asked to do a video on this truck I thought it was a good opportunity to perhaps compare other similar trucks in my fleet that are far more expensive and see how something this cheap stacks up. As always, first impressions of any RC are just that - first impressions. Sometimes I can get caught up in the excitement of a new product and expect it to be more than what I see, other times I get trucks like the Pirates 2 which puts a lot of things into prospective.
Hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching. :)

    A rare RC video...not because the Truck is rare, but it's rare to get someone reviewing a product that actually tells you how it is. The Good...The Bad & The Ugly. Nice job dude, the truck certainly looks nice, but as you have pointed out, there 'may be' a few areas of concern there!

    RakinBill no problem. I just want people to enjoy there rc experience. If you want no bs and guaranteed, save your money and get an arrma. If you want the monster truck style rc go for the notorious because it can do more than any rc that exists on the market. If you want to get into the hobby cheaper, you will have to gain experience with cars and know what your looking for. Honestly you can skip a lot of bs if you just spend the money now rather than work through issues on your first truck.

    I wanted this month's ago but didn't want to end up with bunch of RC vehicles like most of you. LOL. I am going to just order it & install Chinese waterproof 120a ESC for $43, Turnigy 1650 8s motor for $50, two 4S 5000mah battery for $90, 20kg servo but ordering new 30kg. All this is currently on my Redcat Terremoto 10 v2 1/10 with 1/8 tires. This Pirates 2 roller is perfect for someone who wants to customize the electronics and still save money & time not trying to sell stock electronics. BTW, stock ESC is not waterproof. Have a blow dryer ready to save your ESC. My next one might be the TeamRedcat TR-MT8E BE6S 1/8 for $600.
