ZD Racing SC-10 in the video: bit.ly/2K2Zmjv
We took our new Traxxas Slash out to the track to practice for the upcoming race, and decided to bring along another short course truck for Nate to practice with as well. Nate picked the $160 ZD Racing short course truck, that we have recently featured on the channel. It is currently having some diff issues as shown in this video.
Surprisingly, the China off brand truck smoked the Traxxas Slash RC truck every time! Don't be mad at us, Traxxas fans. The ZD Racing truck is fully RTR and is CHEAPER, therefore, comparing dollars to dollars, the Slash had the advantage (the slash was in lipo mode). And no, this was not rigged. We bought the Slash for the 2wd brushed Stock Slash race class at our track, so we are wanting to get good at driving it.
Let us know your thoughts on the race and our racing technique in the comments below!

Isn't this basically asking for those people to zap you guys again
That is so awesome Adam!! Really glad you are enjoying that plane so much. It truly is amazing for helping beginners get into the hobby! Happy Flying 👍⚓😃
We bought their truck, it's in this video, which was the parameters they set for us. Still, with or without those parameters, first amendment, freedom of speech, and we are just showing facts.
Should be able too swap in the diff from the stadium truck from zd racing.
Might be possible too just swap the front diff too the rear and vice versa & make it rwd.
Could perhaps just lock the rear diff with packing in some sponge or hotglue on the zd racing for some longevity without buying spare parts for it.
Any way that it turns out, the traxxas wins, because when you break something you drive 20 minutes to the hobby shop and get your parts. Or you buy the china car and wait a month or more for parts.
Also the Slash is a bash beast. That thing will crash so many times with very little harm done. You're likely to lose of all parts,Front hinge pins( bent), C- blocks,maybe an A arm,and also sometimes a loosened motor mount. With the occasional crapped out Spur/ pinion. I've flipped,rolled crashed,so many times in my 2wd Slash. Brushless Castle sidewinder. So much more power than stock . The thing holds up very well. I've ran it in the rain,mud gravel,snow( kinda lame being 2wd). and again the Slash maintains. The value is there,but you have to bash the truck for awhile before you actually appreciate it
Is this supposed to be a Traxxas bashing video? I'm not biased towards either of these brands but it seemed like the intention was to make the zd appear to be better regardless of specs. Id love to see you guys repeat this race with a 4x4 slash going against the zd truck. Imho traxxas is a little pricey but Theres a reason why their slash vxl 2w or 4wd isnt 160 dollars. A 4x4 brushless 10th scale for 160 is awesome especially if you're on a budget but I wouldn't buy one with any expectation of getting something like a slash vxl 4x4. I don't own either of these specific cars but I'm pretty confident that theres no way it's going to compete with a 4x4 slash vxl or even the rustler from build quality to lap time(with the same driver)
Anywho.. I love what you guys show on the channel and appreciate the time and money you put in to giving us a little preview of something we may like to purchase
@@thekracken4572 I 100% believe you. A few buddies have the slash 4x4 and they are insane all the way around. I have the rustler vxl which Ill take all day over the zd in this video. I'm all for promoting the hobby and trying to hype a product up but I'm not a fan of how they did this one
My slash broke stupid easily but it is fast
Also the China truck is normally around $300. I know I can't find one anywhere near $160. So it's not quite a fair comparison.
@@nobodynoone3428 didn't someone say that already?
@@Michael-tm6vs From what I've seen, people are just talking about 2wd vs 4wd, not the actual prices.
Ita not the car it's the drivers lol
Getting the excuses in early ....'remember my diff is all messed up' 🤣
Controlling a 2wd is all about throttle management.
And of course the 4wd would do better, even with the messed up rear diff. Actually even if the rear diff was not providing any power it would probably still do better. Front wheel drive in slippery/ dust conditions is going to be easier to control. And easier to get on the throttle.
😁
Rear drive is always so much more fun though
@@gabrielpichardo1492 I like them both.
@@jacobrudock8071 me too and I also think that it is possible to get the same end results with both only that you need to finesse the throttle real good on the rear drive
True true.
Abby, it's ok to reduce your speed before the corner.
But the walls will do that too 😂
@@tin2001 lol
Comparing a 4x4 to a 2 wheel drive is like comparing apples to oranges. Not a fare comparison.
graymatter45
They’re point is that you can buy the 4x4 brushless for less money. Obviously it will be better
@@henrye561 but it can be more of a hassle because of the ping term support for their product
Funny part is the traxxas Brushed 2wd was actually keeping up with the 4x4 Brushless China truck lmao. If there were people that knew how to drive these I bet it wouldn’t have been very much difference in performance at all. It’s hard to watch these videos like this when they say stupid crap like it’s better than a traxxas or an Arrma or any name brand out there when they have no clue what the realization is when it comes to the total hobby experience. Sure save $30 or even $130 but in the end you still get a product that in total has no resale value, has no parts support, has terrible customer service if you can even find any for it, and in the next video they said the China one had already broke and they hardly ran it let alone bashed it.
@@Joku1824
Traxxas is not even close to Arrma. While Arrma is not like a Mugen, Serpent, Ofna or XRay, they make great bashers that kind of work on the track.
A Traxxas is no better than the average China garbage. Sad part is how few know this, and the despicable part is how much Traxxas charges for their decades old plastic garbage.
@@henrye561 the point here is comparing a cheap overpowered 4wd to a 2wd brushed to make the big brand look like crap. Anyway, why don't do they the same comparison but against Arrma instead of Traxxas? ZD Racing SC against Arrma voltage for ex or any other 2wd from a big brand should be enough, same price but the ZD racing has more bang for the buck. PS Im not a Traxxas fan.
This track is much like one I used to race on. Brings back a lot of memories. I only raced nitro, 2 wheel drive tho. Had a rustler, which took one heck of a beating. Then bought a used team associated rc10 stadium truck. Each had its own cornering style. The rustler, I just completely left off the throttle before the corner and coasted around it. Then hammered it again. Then the rc10 worked best to drift it around the corners since it had a lot better control. I put a Picco 15 engine in that one right before the track closed. That was a serious engine, it rode a wheelie every lap down the straight stretch. Quite the crowd pleaser. We also had Legends, Sprint car, Nascar, monster truck, and a few other classes each night. I ran 6 out of 8 classes one night. Talk about stress.
It takes a lot of counter sterling I have the old rustler vxl 2 wheel drive and I love it
If you are running oval, moved battery and controls to inside of track. Add spaces to outside of track to wheels. Cut the tires and put sharp edge on treads. Add weight on the rear axel near the rear tires for traction.
Thanks for the really great tips 👍😃😎⚓
I was surprised at the quality/steadiness of the drone footage. Seeing the race from the drones vantage point added to the interest of the video. Nice job.
Thanks Bill! Yeah that is one of our favorite drones that we tend to always have on us! Even in the wind, it held very solid :-)
@@TheRcSaylors Sorry if I missed the mention elsewhere but what drone is that? I was also impressed!
Twenty minutes online research will tell you guys how to setup the truck for racing without replacing any parts. It is really easy to make adjustments trackside in a few minutes. That and appropriate tires for traction if the rules allow it.
Talking about diff problems, my WL Toys 12428 stripped both diffs when I bashed it particularly hard.
Fortunately metal gear upgrades are now readily available, allowing me to easily fix and upgrade my truck for a reasonable price.
For both of you ... you've got to learn to go slow in order to go fast! All the time you are sliding around the turns you are not going forward. Have fun!
Spec slash is a fun class....improves driving skills.....whatever you race....have fun!👍
good job abby and nate this got the race community lending all kinds of help
Nate and Abby. Remember Traxxas' value is all in the part support.Thats they're bread n butter. You can go to any track,any hobby shop,Amazon,and even Taxxas' own site and get parts for any of their vehicles.
They arent the only company that offers that. Not to take anything away from that fact, but there are others 👍⚓😃
Thank you guys for all the great original content. I love the channel.
Thanks for the great video I am a traxxas fan but I still Respect your opinion
Me too. 👍 I love nate and abby but it was the driving that let the traxxas slash down and I guarantee the diff on the slash won't die after a few runs like the cheap zd racing short course truck our traxxas vxl slash is six years old and never broken a diff, my stampede is 8 and I've only had to replace spurs lol..
Same here
@@MarcRCAddict same i have a 10 year old stampede thats been driven by a 10 year old for years still all original transmission
@@ryan93civic1 that's awesome mate, core is your the old xl1? or the xl5 or vxl, I remember my first ever stampede which was the xl1, man time goes way too fast lol.. yeah no RC models are indestructible but traxxas models are definitely one of the strongest brands on the market.. In our family We have two 2wd stampedes, a 2wd slash, a mini e-revo, two t-maxxs, 2wd rustler, and 2 electric converted t-maxxs, but had a few others too lol.. Don't get me wrong we're not traxxas fan boys, just addicts, we have other brands to, tamiya, axial, thunder tiger, losi and wltoys.. Happy rcing 👍
Didint
even tell them design has not changed so parts are like for ever their universal why it has been in game so long look at rc history get it correctly so that u can bash a name I support the usa not cuz its expensive or cheap but be cuz of design has been good since thay made it team associated history rc is a all around video on u tube about rc racing history I use ecx torment its harder to drive why I use it but once u gets it down it's a winner be a American and think ahead of the Chinese so that they can copy u then u take action I love bbq and sun days lol ...
You guys should do more races like this on that track for example the DHK Maximus vs the pirates 3
They aren't reliable enough to get through a race without skidding out multiple times, and aren't adjustable enough to fix. We are talking about designs that aren't even checked for center of gravity until a year after it already flooded the market to replace hobby grade quality. aweful..
That 2wd will make you a better driver. Fun video guys!
Yeah we can definitely see how! Thanks a lot for tuning in!
Because of local hobby shops support traxxas the slash wins regardless of your lack of support
My 2 local hobby shops stopped selling traxxas products because they allow big box stores to sell their products at a price a small hobby shop can't compete with. If I need parts they will order aftermarket like RPM but not genuine Traxxas parts.
Even better. I always go for RPM. They have better plastic
@@silverrick90 what big box stores sell traxxas?
Chad Oleszczuk Best Buy is one.
Throttle control! Slow down approaching the turn and then gradually throttle up through the turn til the straightaway,
and then go full ham 🍔
agreed. and then with 4x4 sct it's different again. Full throttle then whip it in and come out full ham!!!
Having fun is what it is all about.
That's right brother 👍⚓😃
Hi guys, you need to pulse/pump the throttle around the corners, that will help you get the hang on it..
Lol you guys are too used to driving 4wd aren't you, your right thay do handle a lot different then 2wd.. For me the slash still wins hands down its a far superior model in a lot of ways, the zd racing only lasted a few bashes lol, there's a reason why traxxas is one of the most regarded bashing brands, the quality speaks for itself but to be far again the vxl versions are quite a bit better then the brushed xl5 versions.. It's good though that not everyone likes the same brands and same models or the world would be a boring place.. I'm really looking forward to seeing the race guys, that track is awesome, no matter what models you end up using I'm sure your have fun, and as you say that's what the hobby is all about, happy rcing guys 👍
Its funny...traxxas used to be the off brand that everyone thought was crap. It was like, "aww, arent you cute with your little traxxas trying to compete with team losi and team associated". Interesting that they actually became somewhat respected as a brand, never saw that coming. I'm guessing losi and TA are still better though yah?
Ok! Nate, Abby, you live in an area thT has snow and ice, go back to the day when you took drvers training, if you remember you turn your wheels into the way the back end is going to correct the problem also let off the throttle a little this will help when racing two wheel vehicles. Lol you two are great good luck with the race.
Traxxas 2WD, because you can easily get parts, quickly get parts, and maintenance on the 2WD Slash is going to be MUCH easier, and quicker, and that counts a LOT on race day. Racing? 2WD all day long. No matter what class you race, race something that you can get parts at your local hobby shop.
@@MHal312 100% agree. I have liked there videos, and I get they had a bad situation with Traxxas corp., but really? Grow the heck up. Traxxas are the company that brought RC to the masses. These chinese knock off brands wouldnt even exist with out Traxxas.
@@MHal312 Well, their thing is reviewing rc stuff. Not driving and maintaining a race vehicle for an entire season. Additionally, they generally go for the cheap Chinese stuff to make loads of new reviews. They'll do a speed test, and a bash session, and it doesn't matter whether or not they can get parts, because most of their stuff only has to last for two sessions. Their bias against Traxxas is from a time they made a misleading title using the Traxxas name, and they got a CZcams strike because of it. It was a strike they deserved, but can't seem to get over it. As far as being terrible drivers, compared to racers, they definitely are novice material. I hope they have fun learning to race their Slash, and learn to appreciate its simplicity and durability.
@@RFVCXR200R Thats the main thing. The Slash is so durable, and parts, and upgrade support is second to none. Thats what makes it a perfect starter RC. Get it, bash it and learn car control, and then upgrade it as you get better. The sky is the limit. I think I have had mine for at least 6 years. Its been through 3 different brushless set ups, suspension upgrades, LCG chasis upgrade. Sets of Proline tires, and now my 10 yr old daughter drives, and bashes it.
I really enjoy watching a couple RC together and have fun as well impressed
Thanks Mike!! In our opinions, that's what it's all about. Even if we are doing it "wrong" as long as we are having fun and not hurting anyone or bringing anyone else down, we are on top of the world! Thanks for tuning in!
Drive your two wheel drive in reverse for the race. Got my friend and I kicked out of a yuppie track, but only because we beat their (much) more expensive stuff.
We were actually permanently banned from the track.
351cosmo I doubt any of that happened, but cool story.
I can see the slash winning in reverse because I've done it too. Not in a race, but messing around. The better handling more than makes up for the slight speed loss. Good for laughs!
😂😂
The track will get better as its used, I wouldn't shy away from 2wd just yet. You can adjust the suspension, lower it overall and set the ride high so the front sits just higher than the back
This will put more weight to the back to increase rear traction. Then dump the stock shock oil, try 20wt in the front and 20wt in the rear to start. You could also put a softer spring in the front (different soft spring not a collar adjustment) If there is a slipper on the Traxxas then loosen it until it slips like a foot on takeoff (on the racing surface) you can also put a softer compound tire in the rear if that's allowed. These are tips that will increase rear traction and make the car easier to drive fast. Try one at a time. Have fun!
4wd Brushless even with a diff issue is always going to out perform a 2wd brushed truck. But it looked fun.
You've gotten a lot of advice, but I don't know if anybody mentioned the "apex" of the turn. This in where you clip the inside of the track. You guys are both hugging the inside of the straight, which is an infinitely early apex. It's the slowest way through a turn. You need to try for a late apex. You should hug the outside of the straight, start your turn well before the end of the straight, and clip the inside just after the halfway point while accelerating. That's oversimplified, so you may want to look up a video of a late apex. I wish you guys the best of luck in your races, and most of all, HAVE FUN!!!
2wd SC is all about Tuning,and Throttle control. Make an effort while driving the Slash stick to focus on the proportional throttle,and make turning easier by easing off a bit. Stick class should allow some changes. Make sure the body mounts are as low as can be. Get that body lowered to help with the roll. Which is actually designed by Traxxas to happen The Slash body roll is completely intentional.,and is supposed to give a true sense of scale SST. It's not intended to race out of box.
I know if you put brushless motor in the Traxxas an change tires lower your shocks down. Change the shock oil to a lite weight. Because there is no jumps you dont need the shocks to move a lot. If you can change the spear gear to a bigger size. You will have all the speed you need. You can just change the back tires to a tread that will grip help coming out of the corners a. Not spinning so much.
Just for thing I no it helped me. I no you don't like Traxxas that much but I only own 2 out of 14 Rc cars that isn't traxxas. I am Traxxas all the way.
Right.. but the point of this video is that the other truck is cheaper than the Traxxas and you get way more bang for your buck. Nothing personal my friend. It's okay that you like Traxxas. There are just options out there that will give you way more bang for your buck 👍⚓😃
I think my 1/5th scale Redcat would be quite at home on that track. I'd have to pop the airhorn, and compressor off first, though.
Gotta love that drone video that shows the entire racetrack and allows you to see (in realtime) who's ahead!!! :-)
Come on Abby, your done this for so many years now. how can it be your driving skills is not better?
You should be a pro driver now. 😄 😄
And why is der not any jumps on this track?
LOL right wtf!
@Galaxystrike123 The Dank Memer doesnt even look like an oval. More like 2 straights with corners slapped on. No banking at all
2wd is a lot more complex than 4wd on loose dirt and takes a while to get used to. So, liking a challenge, I'd run the Slash
I'm playing catch-up. _4 days in hospital have left me a pile of videos to watch_
With the track wetted down, it will make a huge difference.
2wd: pulse throttle in corners!
I'm cheering for a 1st & 2nd Saylor sweep come race day! 🥇 🥈 Practice, practice, practice!
That brushed motor must feel like one of those old cheesy Radio Shack RCs to you guys. 🤩
Race day, hopefully the track will get periodic watering. That will help with the diff-fishtailing probs.
That was great! Lots of fun. The Spark did well, too. Have fun!
The Spark is so impressive 👍⚓😃 Thanks for tuning in!!
Saying this now is pointless because you've already raced 😂 but for that track I'd throw on the optional pinion traxxas includes it will help with wheel spin and spinning out in the corners also soften up the rear end if possible 2 wheel drive trucks and cars are totally different beasts 2 wheel drive definitely requires more skill to drive smoothly especially on hard pack dusty tracks like that one also run your battery as far back as possible to aid in rear traction anyway great vid as usual guys🙂
2wd tip--- drop throttle oversteer, works excellent with my rustler
(Memo to Nate) Helpful suggestion; RC10T 12 tooth pinion, 32 tooth diff. monster brushless motor 2.0 knobby tires for dirt track racing rooster speed controller, 7 cell battery. and a full switch out of all the bushing with sealed bearings. than let the racing begin.
2WD can be just as fast guys it's the Slash diff that's to loose. If you would try a racing style 2WD car with silicone filled diff and 5000wt oil you would notice a major improvement. Get the Hot Racing oil filled diff for the Slash so you can at least tune it to the track. "stock slash" class ... yeah right the race officials will never check inside the gearbox. I would be very surprised if other people won't use the oil filled diff. Nothing is more competitive than stock classes guys, don't be fooled. People will upgrade anything that can't be easily checked like diff, bearings, shock oil, pistons, etc ...
Abby said it best "2 wheel drive vs 4 wheel drive is a Huge difference." I can't believe you guys never took out the bashers and raced them. So jealous of your rc park. Thanks for the video.
Hey Nate! I think I'm going to try strapping the controller for the Bugs 5w GPS drone to my Redcat 1/10 scale, set drone to follow me feature, and see what I can come up with, footage wise. Wish me luck. Lol
Now that sounds like a blast john 👍⚓😃 Just dont wreck your car with the transmitter strapped to it!!!
You're driving too far into the corners..... Slow down then blip the throttle to bring the rear around and then when it rotates and lines up with the straight, nail the throttle
🙄
They wont the traxxas to look bad
"Battening down the hatches"? So there's a storm coming? I now have a vision of Popeye with a tiny hammer and toolbelt, nailing up shutters back home while you guys play...
Popeye holds the old ship down for sure! He's always up in the crows nest looking for land and other RC ships out at sea 👍⚓😃
That was super fun to watch and can tell from your excitement it was a blast for you guys!
Nate still seems to be biased about any product with the Traxxas name on it. Hopefully someday he'll be able to "let go" of what happened in the past and start doing more unbiased and fair comparisons in the future.
We're trying our best to move past it all, which is why you are seeing their trucks on our channel now. You have to admit, that after what they did to us, we are the ones definitely taking the high road here.
If the dirts wet the slash will not spin out as much but makes it easier to roll
Makes sense! Thanks for tuning in 👍⚓😃
the thumbnail got me lol slash vs China lol
2WD`s are faster than 4WD`s but 4WD`s handle better. Abby if you slow into the corner (on the outside of the track) and then turn easy, then throttle out of turn midway into the turn (the apex) you will get faster run times.
I have a Slash 2wd that I race on dirt. One: the stock tires suck for dirt (I am running Proline Blockades). Number two: if you can manage your throttle and slide with 2wd, you will be that much better off.
I really like the drone setup!
And thanks for the labels for who’s who! Lol
Yeah this was so much fun, and thank you for tuning in 👍⚓😃
ikno this is old, but fyi for peeps needing help with rwd...better tires based on running conditions, thinner diff oil, loosen slipper clutch a tad, thinner shock oil for flat tracks
This is the second or third time you have set a traxxas up to loose. Your channel is great but I am tired of you bashing them. Granted i have never have an issue with traxxas in the way you have. It just seems ugly to set something up to fail . Brushed 2wd vs 4x4 brushless? Trx4 sport instead of ther trx4 with locking diff? I think there was another.
Oh yeah! You mean where we showed the TRX4 sport beating an Axial scx10ii and beating the Vaterra Ascender?
I think if you slow the steering on the traxxas ,you will like it better . Takke two shims and put them in the right front spring that will help.then start adjusting from there.
3 veiws 7 likes! LOL!😂
Also I think y'all might need a tire upgrade!
Nice video guys!
At least I didn't say it some one had to
Love the videos, but I am sorry to hear that somewhere in your RC life you must have had a bad experience with Traxxas. You guys seem anti Traxxas in several of the videos that I've watched. I've been running RC cars and trucks for over 30 years and my Platinum slash is the best RC truck I've ever owned. Parts are readily available as well as upgrades and I can find just about anything I want at any RC store. Anyway keep up the good work.
Honestly we never had anything against them at all. You might find this hard to believe, but they (very wrongfully) attacked our channel! It was a very scary time. All due to a misunderstanding, but they not once apologized or anything. Very sad.
@@TheRcSaylors well I'm really sorry to hear that, that's definitely not cool. Anyway you guys have a great show keep up the good work and I'll keep watching. Have a great day
@@TheRcSaylors There is an upside in a way to when they attacked you guys. A lot of people heard about it, and have stopped having anything to do with them. Some have even went as far as selling off all their traxxas stuff, and swearing to never go back. Me personally, i would never own anything made by them, especially when companies like Arrma and ECX are hands down better than anything they have ever produced, and don't get me started on my feelings about their business practices and multiple, wanting to be a monopoly, lawsuits against other companies.
IMO I would spend the extra money , and get the better truck that has been proven to take a beating , and can pretty much go into any hobby shop and get parts for. Its a win win
I love you guys !
slow up into the turn , aim for the inside lane , braking puts pressure on the front tires that gives them more steering grip.
accelerate slow out
Making the track damp would effect the performance the same for both the two wheel drive and four wheel drive would gain traction. So the four wheel drive would remain the same amount faster. Now if you added a lot of water and made the track muddy the four wheel drive would gain. But traction from four tires will always give you more speed as long as transfer case keeps up.
Very good information! That is awesome of you to stop by and share helpful knowledge Roger, thank you!! Appreciate you tuning in too 👍⚓😃
Aw man, you guys so crazy !!!! You just crack me UP !!!!!!!
Just out having fun with some toys 😃 Glad you stopped by!! 👍⚓😃
That was AWESOME FUN!! Your club's track really looks GREAT!! Thanks Saylors for the immersive experience!! You did it SAYLOR-STYLE!! 💟👍😘
First off let me say I love this channel. You guys do a great job and I enjoy the content. I hate to be the grammar police but when people don’t use “to be” when it’s necessary, it just kills me. So with that being said, you should have said, “Needs *to be* trimmed”, or “Needs trimming”, but definitely not, “Needs trimmed”. Keep the content coming you guys! 😁
Lol, fair enough! I do my best to have proper grammar most of the time. You know though, I'd say your efforts would have more impact on 99% of the other RC CZcamsrs out there 😉 They may need you a bit more than we do, though I'd say we appreciate you being here more than they might. Thanks for tuning in Northern!
im with Nate again, when consider battery an charger ZD racing is closer to 100 dollars cheaper, brushless, and 4wd. easy choice for me.
guys the track could use some water to keep the dirt flying every were
Lemme just call our water boy real quick before we shoot the next video! 😂😂
They wet the track during official races. Thanks for watching!
oh my word... that is soo FUNNY. makes me smile that you too can be competitive and laugh at each other... did abbey shush you ??? good video. thanks
Traxxas fans:* H E A V Y B R E A T H I N G
RX GAMING Traxxas fans not too worried it's a four-wheel drive brushless versus a two-wheel drive brushed LOL what outcome do you expect
@@whitehistorymonth3563 Someone's defensive huh
Traxxas scrambles now to take this video down.😂
Lol yeah! Can't believe we had to go through all of that with them in the past. We would probably buy all of their trucks if nit for that incident.
@@TheRcSaylors heres a shifty tip. Take out your differintal and put glue inside to lock your diff. If tou want limited slip put heavy axle grease in there so you have some positraction but its limited so you wont do that annoying rear spin out as bad as before. It would be good to see some repair montages in your down time when you cant go out and race or fly. And i learned ball diffs are the best you can buy but be warned they run around 80 to 100 bucks.
I'm surprised you didn't invite Lebron James for this video.
The 2wd slash takes a lot of skill to drive it
Really enjoyed this, why don't you race more cars here?? The arrma typhon and the Senton would be good.. And the bangood big monster trucks, Zombie and Cheetah, Maximus and Pirates..🏆 I think this would be awesome content and would be watched over and over as there still in production 👍👌😉 Also the XMax and Kraton 8s🎉⚓ Come on guys that's an awesome idea 💡
Ive never been in a race, so I have no tips to offer but that still looked like fun!
That's the main thing my RC friend, it's all about Fun! 👍⚓😃
@@TheRcSaylors Exactly! Take care, Saylors!
pull the front shaft off the DZ and then race them
Better to pull the rear since that diff is messed up.
@@darkiee69 what up sets me is knowing they dont like traxxas and they put a 4x4 with a 2 wheel drive and then say the 4x4 is better ...that would be like putting my 1997 4x4 jeep in the mud with my wifes 2 wheel drive car what one will go farther....or at least race it with someone that knows how run a 2 wheel..Love you guys but really
Lesson 1 If you practice with 2wd you'll learn better throttle & steering control. Because they are harder to drive than 4wd , it will make you a better all around driver. Also Buggies are harder to drive than trucks, so that helps improve driving skills also. Go RCSaylors !
Awesome! Very good tips my friend 👍 Thanks for taking the time to both tune in, and leave some knowledge while you were here!! You Rock! 👍⚓😃
Love you guys
Get you a couple sets of pro Line slide jobs for that track. Trust me
It's a lot about throttle management especially in the corners. I have the brushed electric and a 2WD nitro Slash. They can both be very fun once you get the hang of it. And the nitro can do some crazy donuts :-)
Not a fair comparison... the slash has way better parts support and tons of aftermarket. Slash allll the way
Take the corners wider and aim for the inside of the corner
I like watching this. Abby likes to crash into cars as well as drones. Looks like fun!
Traxxas is better dude.
Also comparing 4w vs 2w sooo.... how’s that a fair comparison. Traxxas is better. Let’s be real.
If the China truck is actually $160 with free shipping, durable, with easy to get replacement parts, then it is better than the Traxxas. If not, then once it breaks it's a big paperweight. Throwing $160 away is not better than buying a Traxxas imo.
@@Overland_RC I can't argue with that.
Traxxas is overpriced, poorly designed P O S!!!
Traxxas is overpriced garbage, but that doesn't mean I in any way approve of any Chinese POS RC crap!!!
Hey Guys, thanks for another great vid. I didn’t realize where you guys were. Wish I had known a little sooner about the races, the track is about 2.5 hours from me but I would have tried to make the trip. You guys do a fantastic job on your content. Thanks again!
hey! you guys reminds me of my first RC Car race with my friend. with our 24 scale Kyosho mini z on our custom cone made track.
Some Awesome FUN!
I would go with the Slash 100%, you need to compare a ZD 2x4 vs Traxxas 4x4 😂 cmon its apples to oranges you guys 🤪
✌🏼😎👍🏼
Lol, did you not watch the whole video? The off brand is $30 cheaper, which is the whole point. It's also Brushless, 4WD, has a battery And A Charger!! Better tires and shocks too.. really sad how much Traxxas is charging for this truck 😫🙁😢
Yup thats Traxxas budget truck right there 😂
@@TheRcSaylors that off brand also doesn't have the long term support and quality
@@TheRcSaylors If you want to make an apples to oranges true comparison, you should pit the slash against the ECX Torment. Some have done similar comparisons, and the ECX usually comes out on top.
I just realized that without the support of RC-ers, Traxxas would take over the RC hobby and overpriced everything! But with the supporters and people who buy smaller brand RCs like redcat, and some horizon hobby owned ones, (idk if they own Traxxas- I don’t think so) the RC hobby will still be good!
Seeing you guys race the 2-WD Traxxas, reminds me of my days of my RC10-T!!! It was a 2-WD also, but I would love to try 4-WD, or maybe a crawler!
Points for Nate for wearing Timon and Pumbaa
First off you can't drive a 2WD vehicle like a 4WD vehicle. 2WD you're guiding with your throttle and the steering is for minor changes in course. Whereas a 4WD you don't have to be as disciplined with the throttle. Besides that, you're not even making the best of your laps. Go wide and then go towards the middle in the corners and come back out wide for the straights.
Greatly appreciate the feedback and tips! With this, I'm sure we will definitely get better. Keep in mind, this is Both of our FIRST time ever running a course like this, with no training or anything. From a beginner's perspective (which we are at racing) it is obvious that the 4WD is much easier for both of us. The reason we are comparing these two vehicles is Price, and price alone. They are very similarly price. The Traxxas however is actually $30 more and doesn't have a brushless motor or 4WD while the ZD Racing does have both. The ZD Racing is also RTR at that price, with a charger and battery! Doesn't mean we don't like our Traxxas Slash, but showing that there is better bang for your buck out there. We plan on getting better at racing both styles ;-) Again, thank you for your awesome tips!
Wow looks like so much fun , neat track , I think no matter what you were driving that would be a blast.
The races will be cool for sure but just two friends play racing like that just looks awesome
Nice job guys 👍😃
Nate factual evidence. Doesn't ZD racing offer this as a roller also. So you could get the ready to run. And buy a roller. For probably less than $100. So you have backup parts. You'd have the backup Parts immediately. And then whatever you break then you order it. If you break the same part again right away. There's an issue with your driving. Also driving in the neighborhood is very dangerous mailbox is poles and fences. Nevermind car tires and rims. Are awful obstacles you have to maneuver. And negotiate.! Great video today
I would never ride in a real car with Abby driving!
I want a rc truck you guys make it really fun..4x4
2wd is more fun
I agree with abby! I think the 2wd would be a lot of fun to learn!
It has proportional throttle and steering for a reason Abby 😂😂
