DEERC 9206E 4WD 1/10 RC Truck | Unboxing | Test | Review

We got a new truck!
This is from DEERC, the 9206E 1/10 RC monster truck.
It is 4WD, brushed, oil-filled shocks, and comes with 2, 1800mah lipo batteries for $130.
In this video, we unbox it, test it, and let you know what we think.
Overall, the truck seems like a solid base, that could be really good with an electronics upgrade. What do you think?

I love these things, I put a metal motor mount and standard sized servo on one of my brushless 9206e

[@RoadsideRC]

Nice!

[@agentredbone1667]

Just recieved mine today. My ole lady got it for me for Christmas. It's a good starter RC for myself. I mean...it's never a good idea to drop $300 or more for something I may not take up. Anyways..it plowed through the snow and is plenty fast enough for me to learn how to operate it. I give it a 8/10 for beginners .

[@RoadsideRC]

Thanks for the feedback. Glad you are enjoying it!

[@HaydadRC]

Congrats on 4K! I say go brushless so we can see how the bones of the car hold up!👍😊

[@RoadsideRC]

Thanks! I like that idea. A true torture test if you will. Brushless, and then jump the heck out of it and see what happens...

[@Glitchy24]

Yes do a Brushless swap. I'm buying one right now and I've already got a brushless motor/esc combo, new Servo plus new remote w/ tx/rx and bigger batteries since all the drivetrain shafts and gears are metal those lil upgrades are all that's needed to turn the 9206 into a straight up Monster

[@RoadsideRC]

Which servo did you go with that would fit? It has an unusual sized servo from the factory.

[@aarun3000]

Cool video. Got one, it's very good. I use it for my pup's exercise. Pretty robust.

[@RoadsideRC]

Great! Glad to hear you enjoy it.

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

I like this vehicle, I too also have one. I do have a hobby wing brushless system waiting to go in it. I’m not gonna rush it though, as I do have other faster cars I can drive if I want to. What I’m trying to say is; that this vehicle doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not. It’s pretty good all the way around. It’s just smooth and fun! Yes it’s not crazy fast, but it’s still pleasing to run. I added 40wt shock oil and it works just great! What I noticed is that it’s always pretty composed with out showing off. So until the motor or esc goes bad, I’m gonna leave it stock for a while longer. It’s just fun as it is. I just stumbled on this channel, looks like you guys are honest and fun Rc People!👍🏻👊🏼✌️so I’m subbing you! Great video and great channel😎😁💯🍻

[@RoadsideRC]

Agree - I think your assessment is right on. I find it very similar to some of the other budget vehicles I have reviewed. I call it "simple fun". No 6S Arrma craziness, just simple fun.

[@oldmanrenz6882]

Just bought this for my 10yr old son for Christmas as we're both getting into RC. He absolutely loves it, but holy cow is it bouncy. So you recommend going to hobby store, getting some oil and filling them up (and watching a vid on how to do it lol).

[@RoadsideRC]

Unfortunately, I am not 100% sure it will actually work. I put oil in the shocks myself, but it seems the fitment of the piston within the shock body is so loose that it basically did nothing. Look around on Amazon, you can find some shocks like these: amzn.to/3nsfuvm They are $20, oil filled, and should be approx the right length. You will see that shocks are measured in length from top to bottom eyelet. I would assume the shocks on this truck would be 80-100mm. Usually, you can get away with these longer shocks (100mm) that I linked for you.

[@oldmanrenz6882]

@@RoadsideRC Update...there's something wrong with the left tires. Pretty wobbly. Haven't hit anything, just running on a baseball field. All of a sudden the wheel flies off, we lose the metal pin (there's extras), and have to put back together. Could be just a bad unit because otherwise it's a lot of fun.

[@RoadsideRC]

Can you get in touch with me on Facebook or Instagram? You can find me as RoadsideRC on both.

I'd say most definitely do a brushless swap on it, OR you could just send it to me and I'll do it. HaHaHa!!! Thanx for another great video and Happy Holidays 👍👍

Looks like a rebrand of redcat blackout of which i own one and I have none of the issues you had with that one. Redcat has plenty of power . stock brushed motor version i am talking about. Shocks are good out of the box on redcat . I Put a brushless system in my blackout and it is crazy . Seems like for 10$ extra or so may just wanna get a redcat if you don't want to have to do a motor swap as soon as you get it. Also if it is blackout base chassis there a ton of upgrades out there for it tho ! I do like the fact it comes with 2 lipos redcat only comes with NIMH battery which as far as I can tell is the only plus side to buying this vehicle over a blackout! Nice video!

Interesting. I owned a Redcat Blackout XBE for awhile, and it didn't look like this chassis at all. Which model do you have?

I got this truck a couple of months ago for my birthday from my wife. The piston in the shocks are to small and leave to large of a gap. I just got some Traxxas shocks. Much better ride now. I have noticed that the truck is a bit slow. So probably will do a motor swap myself. Might start with a 12t 550. Or go brushless. We'll see.. but just thought I'd let you know about the shocks

[@RoadsideRC]

Thank you for the tip on the shocks. I was wondering if this was the situation, as the oil made zero difference. I was going to go brushless, but noticed that danged 5-wire servo is an odd size. Have you found one that would fit?

[@palemonvazquez1383]

what oil does it recommend for the shocks what oil weight?

It does not recommend any, as it is not designed to have oil in the shocks.

[@413RC]

Did you speed test yours? Mine barely broke 20

[@RoadsideRC]

I did not, but I would assume 20mph is actually rather good for this vehicle.

What brushless motor (budget) do you suggest?

[@RoadsideRC]

I never found a good solution for this, as I never found a proper servo to work.

[@gurlalbajwa339]

What type of oil do you need to put and how much? Plz tell

[@RoadsideRC]

Honestly, the shocks are built so loose that it didn't help much. I put some Team Associated 10w shock oil - should have been great for the size of this vehicle....but it was too light. You could try something like this: amzn.to/3iEVg2O

[@yusufsohail4852]

hey man, question: what does the oil do and what kind of oil can i use

[@RoadsideRC]

It helps the shock work smoother - less bouncy. Honestly - after trying it here, it only helped a small amount since these shocks were really not designed for oil to be in them. Instead of putting oil in these shocks - if you really like this truck, you can upgrade the whole shock later.

[@GreatLakesRC]

You can probably guess my answer. Brushless! 💪 Pull the electronics that you had in the Voltage and see what happens 👍

[@RoadsideRC]

Exactly what I am thinking - except instead of 3900kv, it need something like 5200KV and really see what happens! :)

[@dalejones4322]

Brushless please. I'd like to see how it's done.

[@andrewsuarez6920]

What do you guys think is a good 4x4 truck for around $130? I'm new to this.

[@RoadsideRC]

Honestly, a true 1/10 scale with great bashing potential - I would recommend the Arrma Mega line. They are brushed, but 4WD and very durable. However, they do run $220. If you just want to get your feet wet, see if you can track down an Arrma Granite Voltage. I have recently done a couple videos on it. I really like the durability and handling. If lucky, you can get one for under $100!

[@RoadsideRC]

Hey Malcolm. This vehicle is great for testing RC and seeing if you are really interested in it. I do not recommend spending a lot of time or money attempting to fully upgrade this car. I am researching now how to do a cheap brushless swap to give it a little more performance, but for the money you would spend upgrading this car, you could have most of it to purchase something MUCH better for you in the long run.
