ZD Racing DBX 10 Test Run - Best Bashing and high speed under $300 - Part II 

HEY GUYS ITS ME AGAIN WITB ANOTHER BANGOOD SPECIAL USE MY CREATOR CODE

If it's an RC, we'll give it a fair shot.

Thank you for that share. We were wondering about reliability.

So, I own one....and broke some stuff lol. Between Aliexpress and banggood there isn't a part I could think of breaking that you can't order from them, except rear dogbones but any 78 - 80mm dogbone will work I learned. And, honestly, you godda be acting a fool to break stuff on this little beast anyway (which I totally was haha) a lot of the suspension/arm bits look to be modeled (read stolen) from the losi tenacity dB pro and there's a decent aftermarket parts pool on that....I may Tinker and see if I can't just replace everything ZD from hub to chassis with aftermarket tenacity stuff.....that'd really beef this thing up and STILL be cheaper than buying "name brand" Just a thought, if you're still arguing with yourself. Lol

Yes banggood and aliexpress both have alot of parts now and some hop ups now! like metal hop ups to make the steering knuckles stronger...

@@fossfamilyrc8066 if only they'd make hopup A arms lol! The metal carriers front and rear are nice and all, but the stock plastics on the a arms is so brittle. Perhaps an aftermarket company *cough cough RPM cough cough* could see the value in this little beast! Lol

I guess it is quite off topic but do anyone know of a good place to watch new series online ?

Thanks for the visit

we love making em.

Indeed!

Parts and upgrades!

Lane Teague that was my first thought was the lasernut came to mind😁

Yeah, it runs like a desert buggy champ. If that lasernut ever went into stock, we'd do a comparison. We have it on backorder for months!

It seems like there is a stability control where it doesn't punch the power at start-up. It makes it very easy to launch... but it doesn't wheelie.

Trx sport or axial scx10ii trail honcho/deadbolt Gens ace 3s 5200mah or more for a hours worth of crawl

How did you manage that?

@@clipsmcgee13 it was used but it still runed and looked like new

@@GHOST-xg8bp that's awesome! I really want to pick up one of these but not sure I should spend the money right now. Not because I don't think it's worth it but it's still a decent bit of money for me at the moment. If I could find a used one for sub $100 I'd buy it in a heartbeat

Banggood, Aliexpress, ebay, etc. The manual has a full parts breakdown with part numbers and such. They sell some hop-up parts but mostly stock replacement stuff. This thing is WAY stronger than you'd expect. I busted a front a arm, bent driveshaft on same side and busted the spoiler mount (I got the one with the rear spoiler. Spare tires is worthless extra weight 🤷‍♂️) and all parts are on aliexpress for under 20 bucks to fully rebuild the front end. Now, how I broke it 🤣🤣 after 3 3s packs ran through it back to back at a skate park straight sending it off half pipes and ramps (30 plus foot air type monster jumps) I managed to break the spoiler on a nasty cartwheel. Didn't break ANYTHING important bashing. Now, my daughter walked in front of my line of sight while I was coming around for another jump and I couldn't see it for a second and slammed A-arm first into a rail @25mph-ish and that did it in lol. She can bash. She can handle abuse. She's stout. But don't go full on into poles....she no like that 🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♂️

The bumper is gnarly ugly. Has lights though so gotta move then chop chop

For this, really should leave stock, it's perfectly balanced for what the chassis can handle. We'll see what breaks first.

I've had mine for 3 months now and broke a front a arm and driveshaft on the same side (crashing arm first into a pole) since replacing those parts I've broken exactly zero parts and bash this thing so hard that RU-vid videos of this thing look like promo videos instead of bashing videos lol. There's nothing on this car that will break that won't also break on a name brand car. Anyone complaining about breakage clearly never owned an rc before, or doesn't understand the difference between bashers/monster trucks and sand rails/buggies. This is a sand buggy. Yes it can jump and flip with the best of them but it was not designed to do that. The limited front shock travel alone is proof enough of that 🤷‍♂️ Sure, i could have bought a losi db pro for 430 bucks, then spent another 60-90 on the battery you're suppose to use in it and maybe it'll be "stronger" but, parts are more expensive and a quick RU-vid search shows literally every U4 based RC car breaks in the exact same place regardless of name brand/price/etc. I payed 275 WITH a nice 3s lipo and charger - crashed it, fixed it, bashed it like I stole it, bought 4 pieces of every common replacement part and STILL am under 300 USD investment. OH! And 15 follar foams (because the ones in this stock are heated together so are terribly unbalanced and a 2 dollar pinion and this no name "crap" buggy is faster than losi, handles just as good, breaks as infrequently and is twice as fun when money is factored in 🤷‍♂️😅

Yes, it seems to be reliable. Parts availability though is only through banggood.com so that overseas shipping takes a while. That this major concern of most.
