The hubs are too shallow for aftermarket tires, unless you use buggy tires. The front a arms are really weak I broke mine landing on one wheel off of small air. Also the tires are so weak they broke just using them on my notorious on grass rofl.
Dude there's a rc car that is 10 dollars more but comes with everything except for the battery charger. It is called the T8X and you can get it off nitrorcx.com that car is fast, strong and chip I know because I have one and crashed it hard for months and still going strong you could test one out if you want
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!
I have the rtr version and run it on 4s. I haven’t had any problems. I had to rebuild the center diff as well. After that all good been running it for a month. Now with no issues.
7:55 _There's a great big opening here, which would've allowed for some plastic to come through and mount onto a BAM-PA-BAAAA!!_ There's your next remix video, DJ's. Gotta love that Ausie accent.
Kevin Talbot tested the rtr version and it held up surprisingly well, and he ran it on 4s with a fluoreon battery and it took it. 4s packs can fit but like you said I believe it has to be soft case 4s
Hey great review as always but there is a rtr version of this 80 amp for $199.00 120amp for like $270.00 on banggood I was thinking about getting the 80amp version but not sure its definitely no jlb cheetah lol but great video I always enjoy watching yours
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.
If you put an 1/8th scale system in it, you'll need that wheelie bar. Mine back flipped off of flat ground and cracked the body when I barely half throttled it. But, it turned out to be one of my favorites.
I say put the blx 185 in it and send it. I will enjoy every minute of it. I will follow suite and post the footage. I have a few skate parks close by just waiting for the snow to melt
I have one and have bashed it at least 30 times with no issues. Hard crashes and collisions. It is extremely fast. Again i drive on dirt not skate parks which i dont get? Blows the doors off other rc i drive with.
I got The ZD Pirates 2 on road Gt and it came with a couple tools and a pinion gear 18 tooth and a book and nice box but that monster truck has a lot of nice aluminum on it way more than the touring car I put a 4s battery life n it no problem mate
The tactic receiver fits inside the battery compartment of the transmitter that comes with 2018 arrma cars so it's easier to keep them together. One more reason the tactic was better.
Nice unboxing. I was looking at this roller chassis but when tower hobby lowered the price on the 1/8 scale force rc epidemic to $249 i started to check that out instead... Maybe you can do an unboxing and review on that truck for us.
A fantastic honest Review mate, it's a shame about the battery tray, body and other negatives but the proof will be in the pudding when you bash it, great unboxing video bro 👍😁👍
I have this machine and it’s fun. But!!!!! I’ve been waiting for c cup hubs for 3 months now so it’s still new. I’ve since naught an arrma . I wish ZD racing had parts support. If anyone knows were a can get c cup hub would be great . Oh the body shattered on the my second run not jumping . I put a raptor body on the truck now and looks amazing just wish I could drive it 🙃🙃🙃 Gearsbest is no help. Wow mine came in packed box with foam😲😲😲oh plus cracked my inner rim as well and in welded it 😂. I got full kit
The shocks look really nice. These were less than $140 shipped in the US at one point and I almost got one...I have a spare BLX185 combo sitting around but like Vas say the truck probably can't hold up to the power.
HRB 6000 mah. 4s lipo (hard case) fits perfect. found on aliexpress.. You are korrect about the boddy , it brakes easy, i have the v2 pirates2, with the 120a esc, and its a bit to mutch with 4s, silly fast. I bet that for the price, you will be surprised what this truck can handle ;)
Aaawww Dude, I cant believe it, yours is one of the best rc channels out there, I can’t watch Banggood crap dude this channel is way better than that, honestly dude send it back and get ya money back..... We need tonnes more Race Wars and RC carnage.....
Glad you picked this up maybe we can rebuild it together. All the diffs need attention don’t run it. Look it over. It’s a buggy not a monster truck. Great shocks shock towers, chassis. The body sucks and mostly questionable all the way through. For 400$ I could buy a 3s arrma and be way better off
Good job Vas. Thanks for yet another good bit of info. Can't wait to see how disastrous it'll get on the track... Poor plastics, poor Alu grade... Cheers buddy!
Loving this one thanks for sharing lol it's a bang for the buck just add upgrades and strong batteries keep up the good work would love to come down under and run some trucks and buggies with you thanks for sharing keep up the good work
Been on the fence bout this one for a loooong time... only 2 sections that gave me pause where the rear chassis design and the weak battery tray. Thanx for giving it a go Vas!!
Curious to see how it turns out. Love to see you bash it at the BMX park to see if she stays in one piece. Has a good amount of aluminum bits though. Willing to bet it's not Arrma tough. LOl
It was starting to look really good until you pointed out the floors. Thankyou for pointing them out this is why I subd to your channel because you are very informative, thanks bro.
I have the 120a RTR version The rear end disinterested after a few drives and no big jumps and I've spent about 7 weeks trying to get the sorts I need, I'm almost there but yeah...
Nah man don’t do it. I bought one ran it once detonated. It’s really narrow wheelbase for 1/8 scale. I wish it was better but it sits on my self for over a month waiting for parts
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.
U cant dislike the video when the car itself is what u didnt like. Vas did a good job saving us tthe wondering if's and money.
Interesting 🤔 Lots of aluminum, but some weird design choices. Reminds me of the berserker 👍

Yeah I knew this truck was junk when jake billing kept snapping his in half lol.
I have the rtr version and run it on 4s. I haven’t had any problems. I had to rebuild the center diff as well. After that all good been running it for a month. Now with no issues.
By far the best review of this truck! Thats about all that needs to be said
7:55 _There's a great big opening here, which would've allowed for some plastic to come through and mount onto a BAM-PA-BAAAA!!_
There's your next remix video, DJ's. Gotta love that Ausie accent.
😂😂👍
Thanks man. 🤜🤛
Thumbs up for the video but a big meh on first impressions. I'll be watching your running video for sure though. Love your vids man.
Banggood are a joke,NEVER ORDERING ANYTHING FROM THEM AGAIN.
Kevin Talbot tested the rtr version and it held up surprisingly well, and he ran it on 4s with a fluoreon battery and it took it. 4s packs can fit but like you said I believe it has to be soft case 4s
Great video Vas can't wait to see if it destroy itself on 3S lol doesn't look too promising happy bashing my friend👍😎🙈🙉🙊👊✌
This v2 roller is only 179.99 free shipping here in USA on eBay has allot of nice parts in curious to see what you put in it and if it holds up
Link?
@@LIFEOFSTUFFEDANIMALS just search pirates 2 v3 on eBay buddy
Oh my bad I thought you meant it was located in the US. Only results ship from china.
The plastic, the orange anodising....even the alloy spaces used under the body pins are all screaming BSR Berserker at me........ Same OEM??
Do you know anything about the HBI Bullet ST Flux
Hey great review as always but there is a rtr version of this 80 amp for $199.00 120amp for like $270.00 on banggood I was thinking about getting the 80amp version but not sure its definitely no jlb cheetah lol but great video I always enjoy watching yours

Whoever thought having a body design like that with that much gap should be fired immediately! Wow!
If you put an 1/8th scale system in it, you'll need that wheelie bar. Mine back flipped off of flat ground and cracked the body when I barely half throttled it. But, it turned out to be one of my favorites.
What do you expect for under $200 usd. Perfect truck to modify build on giving parts availability and aftermarket parts availability!
I wish I could visit Australia. I hope I spell it right. I'm in winterport maine U.S. states. Sucks here.. Lol!!
I say put the blx 185 in it and send it. I will enjoy every minute of it. I will follow suite and post the footage. I have a few skate parks close by just waiting for the snow to melt
I have one and have bashed it at least 30 times with no issues. Hard crashes and collisions. It is extremely fast. Again i drive on dirt not skate parks which i dont get? Blows the doors off other rc i drive with.
I really need the instructions for this, but I can’t find them anywhere bro’ can you help? Thanks
I got The ZD Pirates 2 on road Gt and it came with a couple tools and a pinion gear 18 tooth and a book and nice box but that monster truck has a lot of nice aluminum on it way more than the touring car I put a 4s battery life n it no problem mate
Nice to see some cheap stuff back on the channel!
Hope u try force rc epidemic truck. And in bang goods they got bsd mad monster truck. Hope u try them trucks next..
The tactic receiver fits inside the battery compartment of the transmitter that comes with 2018 arrma cars so it's easier to keep them together. One more reason the tactic was better.
I always view trucks like this as eye candy. Something for the shelf.
So what you are saying is the box that the Pirates 2 comes in is a bit of a Dead Man’s Chest?
LoL 😀. Comment of the day goes to you. Well done. 🏆
4000 mah 2 s batteries fit it or a 4500 mah 4 s is the max. But I’d rate this as a 1/10 scale so not terrible
can i install the shocks of the pirates 2 to my arrma granite 4x4?
Max amps 6s pack fits perfectly. No worries.
Wow, very critical for such a cheap truck!
Nice unboxing. I was looking at this roller chassis but when tower hobby lowered the price on the 1/8 scale force rc epidemic to $249 i started to check that out instead... Maybe you can do an unboxing and review on that truck for us.
I have the truggy version of the epidemic it's great, you just need a better servo and tighten the servo saver and its perfect
Looks more like a 1/10 scale truck
I’m in Perth are you close
Attention triangle ET chassis ce pli très vite PAS terrible

The photo in my profile is my Talion with those wheels they actually hold up pretty well to 6s
No they don’t take a look at the Center of your rims I bet there cracked
@@justinjones5281 ya I'm lying... Theyve been on for 6 months no cracks or tears all I did was vent them

The rear end disinterested after a few drives and no big jumps and I've spent about 7 weeks trying to get the sorts I need, I'm almost there but yeah...
You will smash that thing doing jumps Vas 🤪 they are well known not to buy here in Uk. Or maby not so much UK now 🙄
I'll watch your next video but so far I've no interest, based on this video, in this particular RC MT.
Hope u build your own battery tray.
And it's must be same size my redcats earthquake 8e..
I was eyeing this up before I brought my dhk maximums I’m glad I didn’t go for it now lol
It's much like HSP rubbish that breaks every time it's used. I gave up on them.
What are the 2 little rings on top of the center diff? Tower to tower brace thank you for the video
I was going to buy this. The rtr has a big motor. Sweet can’t wait for review
Hi Vas, it looks like a DHK or parts from their line! Great vid!@ cheers
I gotta do one of these on my rc channel great video sir 👍
Hopefully it will hold up, it looks pretty beefy but like u said its got some weak points, so we will see
Hui der ist aber schick 💪😁👍
It's this a beserker with a truck body?
Not really, the Berserker is bigger and a bit different as well.
@@AussieRCPlayground OK 👍
Nice vas,appreciate what you do for us enthusiasts👌
They call that 1/8 scale? My MGT is twice that size!!!
Bizarrely this junk is the ONLY truck I've seen Kevin Talbot NOT break 😂😂 See what can happen if you make an effort...
DAMMMMNNN WAR
Zd racing pirates 2 or dhk maximus ?
Oh by the way the 120amp version comes with 2 2s batteries I've heard there batteries are junk
Cleon Dyer their
Do u know where i can find a parts list
Sir , how’s the tires holding on ?
Get the trugy please. It's better
It looks like it has quite a few Aluminum parts on it. Might be a decent rig for the price. I will have to get one.
Nah man don’t do it. I bought one ran it once detonated. It’s really narrow wheelbase for 1/8 scale. I wish it was better but it sits on my self for over a month waiting for parts
@@justinjones5281 That sucks, maybe I will wait for a while, and get a better rig. Thanks for letting me know.
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.
