You know something Kev, I just purchased the ZD racing 911 6 V3. and watching you effortlessly Sail through the jumps and control that truck like it was your own arm or something around the skate park with its brother the mt8, is making me so impatient on waiting for it to come in the mail. Your videos are outstanding. Because of them I have just recently purchased three. Thanks again Kev keep up the great videos. Bobby.

[@fernandorcs1964]

Omg... For the price of this, I prefer the cheetah!!! XD

[@karltan9461]

Agreed. Have a cheetah. In that price range. Cheetah and dhk zombie, no comparison. insane durability

[@edeq79]

There is something wrong with this car. Jlb cheetah is 10 times better than it.

"Wheels break kind of easy". Previous shot of him sending it 50 feet into the air. Love the channel wish you would do the traxxas stampede vxl 2wd . Love to see how you would upgrade it. It might not be the best but it puts the biggest smile on my face.

[@AutoBodyEverything]

In all the reviews of this truck, the wheels ALWAYS BREAK IN THE SAME SPOT ON THE SAME TYPE OF JUMP

[@davids5080]

Hey kev! Always love these cheapish vids lol great reviews man! Keep em up.

[@PINACI]

I watched other review videos of this truck and it breaks in all of them. It's too heavy and too weak so you will be throwing good money after bad I think with this truck. It fell apart in your review before you even really started and then broke two more times which speaks for itself. I'm glad you tell the truth in your reviews compared to some of the others I've watched who seem biased because they don't want to upset their sponsors.

[@davidpotter8890]

Great video Kev n Pat love how you're always checking out these cheaper R/C's always interesting to see how they hold up to the Kevin treatment 😂 Sometimes I'm holding my breath waiting for you to break em 😲😂🤪

[@thercadventurer4422]

I got the last version that you tested the pirates v3 and it has been a champ I was thinking of getting this next version but now after this video probably gonna go for the dhk maximus

I had the exact same issue on my pirate2 where I need to order extra parts to fix it on Bandgood. Wish that you could put up a video on how you fix those issues.

[@DJSOULFORCE]

I think I say the fan come off at around 6:14. I thought it was the pinion gear coming off again! BTW, I have the Pirates 2 DIY kit and I'm amazed at how well it's holding up so far. Thanks for sharing this video. Now I know what I should be looking for to break first!!! Lol.

Well, I have just made the discovery that I have been apparently shopping at his store in San Mateo for ages, without knowing it. I always thought it was just a coincidence.

[@robbrcnstuff4220]

It looks like it was handling pretty good at the skate park on the little jumps.

[@steveblackbird]

Thank you for the Honest review mate... She needs some tinkering and a proper set of wheels before you go hard on her...!! Still very interested in the Pirates3 1/8th buggy from a month ago... Like a Typhon clone.. looked rather promising... Please more on that if you get around to it Kev.

Superglue the wheel. Just to see what happens. I am planning to get this, but I'm getting the kit... no electronics... I can put in my own bits. Great vid, as always.

I have both the eachine brand and the zd racing 9106, besides the arms being weak its held up pretty well, other breaks were my fault, side slapping a pole broke the rear hub carrier now i have aluminium, and made some aluminium arms from a set for vrx1043

Hey, I just wanted to ask you Kev (or anyone that has a suggestion) for a good off road rc car that can be kited and customised, there’s no price range!

[@larmishing]

Skeptic Indian traxxas slash is probably the best car for that

[@davidboyd4026]

I would say the Traxxas Slash very tough. The weakness may by the drive lines

[@justinbarnes1621]

[@STGGamingOG]

I have had my v2 and it has been amazing. It was a roller chassis so I added 4s electronics and it takes a major beating

[@jstagzsr]

yeah, 400 bucks is apparently "cheap" nowadays? i have an 80$ rc with about 200$ in upgrades. thats about the extent of my budget for things i dont need.

[@liamb9249]

Hi Kevin. I am getting the RC Cobra for Christmas and I have a few questions. Is the esc water resistant/ proof? Can you buy upgrade parts or spare parts for it? Is it the best cheapish RC car I can buy? Is the JLB cheetah a good car? Thanks to everyone that reads this.

[@pedrowoolson4273]

Man, I was tempted by the old version of that truck and ended up going 4S Outcast instead... haven't broken anything; slipper was bad, Arrma sent me a new one; had to put in another radio ($30 Dumbo)... killed one 4S Lipo. With the radio, 90 Canadian Pesos more than the Pirates... durability good

[@Disinterested1]

Totally agree with your assessment I have one ... it's ok

Wow... this is the third review video I've seen where the wheel broke. So... I guess buyers should add the cost of new wheels to the price.

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

I was really hoping that was going to do better! I only paid about $100 more for my associates rival mt8 preorder though….hard sell for me! I dig the way it looks though. Bet it would hold up great for backyard bashing and ripping around.

[@egnorthern]

Same exact thing that happened to this truck on “The RC Saylors” channel. 😂

[@Icantdrive55]

The wheels are definitely a weak point. With some minor upgrades it could be a good truck.

[@christianmarinussen4519]

Hey kev. Thanks for some nice videos, can you please tell me where i can buy rims and tires for the pirates 3 Mt?

[@K.a.yJ..a.y]

I love this type of video love you kev

[@shaggyworks24]

yah loving the videos

[@kelevra558]

This was the first rig i bought getting back inti the hobby at 31 years old. That was 4 years ago. I still have it of course. Its 6s, has some really heavy billet wheels, awesome tires, self made chassis stiffeners, the most expensive coilovers i could get, and dude i beat the shit outta the thing. Its held up better than my brothers xmax after i modded it all out. It has all billet arms and stainless hardware, really expensive motor and esc combo, 110kg servo, i could go on and on. What made the biggest difference is getting the proportions closer to realistic. I have the truck sitting about twice as high, with wheels and tires half the size. I have a trophy truck body on it and the wheels actually tuck up in the fenders like they should. Im not a scale guy at all but the ridiculously enormous wheel and tire packaging is kinda dumb to me. Yea you get more control in the air but if ur good enough, thats not necessary. Oh yeah and by the way, this thing on 6s with about 3 times the unsprung weight from the heavy ass wheels i run is just....my goodness its marvelous. Definitely my best all around rig. Hands down.

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

That seemed a lot slower on that speed run than on the first run without the speedometer

[@jake4194]

I'm pretty sure the wheels he put on were considerably heavier

[@keenanbriggs1741]

Love your vids btw

[@jedanderson3270]

Hey Kevin, loving your channel. Only just recently discovered it as my 4yr old daughter really loves monster trucks and we stumbled on your videos. I've not had an rc in years, used to have a kyoshi nitro and that big old CEN nitro monster when I was a teen (on my way to 37 now though haha) but your vids might be giving me the bug again. This MT8 seems interesting as I really can't afford something like an X Maxx or anything Maxx... But considering the MT8 if I know I can get spares. Do you know where I can get spares, or should I avoid this thing? Cheers Jed

[@MzanziRC]

Rather look at a well looked after second hand brand name car. Spares is THE biggest issue with buying these chinese cars. They churn out so many models. I would say HPI, HSP ect ect. Spares always available.

[@askbeforeplaying2983]

And then he picked it up

[@jasonhipkins]

I got one of these and getting the hesitation when you mash the throttle from a dead stop. Running 4S 50C. Thinking maybe the speed controller is not very good. Buy the Pirates 2 9116 V3. It is the same chassis but has the smaller wheels which will not break out the hubs.

[@shirleywood6611]

Love videos Kev

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

I don’t mind a servo not being super fast if it’s strong enough to not strip gears on landings etc

[@pedrogalvao7329]

Esses modelos chineses antes do uso é bom conferir o aperto de todos parafusos e colocar trava rosca de densidade média nos parafusos q prendem o motor e no parafuso do pinhão do motor.

[@lilnash7]

No they're not they're 1/7 Xmaxx is 1/6 so stop comparing the sizes

[@XethanhanzX]

@@lilnash7 I know about their scale, that is the reason I said "almost" because of the big size of it(Hyper MT 2 Plus). We know that there are some RC's that is bigger than what their scale are, like the Erevo's which is 1/10 but the size of a 1/8.
