They look very similar on the outside, but on the inside are completely different beasts.. But what matters the most, is how they perform in the real world side by side and that's what we will be looking at today. Stick around to the end to hear which RC car we think is right for you, will it be the ZD Racing DBX07 or the Losi Lasernut...

Hey guys! from Texas! I can't come anywhere near that price even after your discount code. Could you double check that or see if it has to be a certain color because I'd order one today (The ZD rtr) if I could be close to that $500 price point, I'm well over 6 before shipping!

@@redvikinghobbies I tried loading the roller version with their coupon code and it came out to $390 as they said. Maybe it's the shipping option that's throwing it off?

I'd do the roller if I wasn't knee deep in other builds. Like to do a video on it.

[@idjc2621]

Considering how many times you showed the dbx07 crashing. It’s seems really durable, and you should check your screws. The big names give a false sense of security. There’s always a few screws loose.😂😂😂😂👍🏾 Great Review

[@redvikinghobbies]

Absolutely. Noticed that quickly myself on the Arrma RTR EXB. Gotta tighten them up for sure.

I'm a fan of ZD racing stuff.....but what do you mean especially with the price difference? The ZD is over 200 MORE than the losi - with zero aftermarket support......

[@markstockie4140]

Hey thank you for letting me know I think I'm actually going to buy one of these I am skeptical about these brands that I'm not familiar with that come from China but apparently it's not that bad so thank you so guys so much this really helped me out a lot

I'd say the Fireteam would beat it for durability having one myself, I had a head on with a Traxxas Emaxx @ around 70kph and it smashed the Emaxx to pieces literally. I suffered a bent shock and tore the shock sleeve.

Watched another ZD racing on another channel talk about the springs being over sprung which is why it topples over. They changed the spring rate using Losi SCTE springs. They sell them in various rates. Might try it.

I have two lasernuts,i just love them,allthough they are not durable at all...both of them got wrecked on the driveshafts,servosaver and back diffs.i upgraded them with gpm upgrades,and skf bearings,now they hold better...and I'm not a jumper,mostly drive in the forest...i ordered a dbx07 aswell,can't wait to have him.But I will be taking him apart first,to check all screws,bolts and change the diff and suspension oils and directly put in better bearings,because zd bearings are really bad.Here in the Netherlands we have skf bearings,they are expensive,but they really are the best !..Thanks for sharing your tests,love them ! God Bless!

[@TheRcKiwis]

[@andrewmui2633]

Great review! Turned out exactly like I thought it would. Lasernut - better handling pretty much in all aspects. Weak/flexible dogbones. DBX07 - Beast! More durable...which is a surprise honestly. ZD isn't known to be super basher. Cheap, yes. Durable? Eh, not really. I actually cringed at some of the crashes the DBX07 took. I was sure the A arms would have snapped, hinge pins bent, busted bumpers, bent chassis, cracked body, etc I have the BX-8E and had to take some steps to bulletproof it. The A arms crack constantly and the hinge pins are noodles. But they're cheap and I have a healthy supply of spares. It looks like ZD must have changed their plastics and metals for sure which is awesome. Also I could have guessed those hub screws would have fallen out. They are a constant issue with my bx-8e and I check them judiciously. I hope the metals in that area are improved as well (I don't think they're cast metal) but when those screws loosen and it creates play, the screw holes in the hubs begin to ovalize which has no solution beyond buying new ones. Basically make sure they stay tight! It's easy enough to keep replacing screws but it's obviously a larger and more costly problem if you have to replace the hubs.

[@TheRcKiwis]

Cheers Andrew! Yes, we are both very suprised at the durability of the dbx07 and the ex07. Our dbx10 wasnt nearly as tough as these two!

[@andrewmui2633]

@@TheRcKiwis yeah I watched the dbx10 vids. Nice looking car but there are definite weak points. ZD definitely made some manufacturing changes for the ex07 and DBX07. It's pretty noticeable. You guys don't hold back on the bashing for sure! Dunno if it's on purpose or Joe's bad driving 😉🤗 but it beings confidence that in real world situations the cars will perform. ZD TOUGH! 😆

if i had the DBX-07 i would remove the spare wheel wile drive the car👍

[@ianbudgetrc2574]

@4:45 losing that screw is normal in ZD Racing 1/8 scale RCs. It's a shame that it is still the same problem with the 1/7 ones. It's the way it is designed. The steering hub is not that good. And the screw touches the sides of that hole and as you steer, it gets "unscrewed". They should have redesigned the steering mechanism like they should have put a small bearing over the screw there.

No loctite or bad china loctite copy (ultra strong) is a tradition in ZD factory, when they do not make a part error in the assembly. But for seeing that you must have the luck to receive the car without damages out of the box. Have a visit on FB owners group before buying.

[@jkitto2008]

I still stick by my Losi Laser Nut. It's flawed, and they break easily. But if you're careful, and do a few upgrades you can get quite a bit out of these. I bought two originally, now one runs, and the one is spare parts. I wish I knew more about RC repair, I bought a bunch of parts to fix broken one but I don't really have the skills to tear it apart. I would hate to screw it up. We have one RC shop about 60 miles away, but they don't really know anything. Oh well, I don't want to buy another expensive RC knowing how easily they break. And what a pain in the ass it is to get parts these days, and then I can't repair it. 🤨

[@jstriker90]

i just bought my first RC car... the Lasernut. which parts would you say are most prone to breaking?

Sooooo these are to entirely different scales but yet there the same size....... So my question is which one is the liar?

[@Top-Jimmy]

All licenced Scale RC's are true to scale. In this case the Lossi is true to scale @1/10 - The DBX is pretty well spot on for a 1/7 fictitious desert racer. They are not the same size at all mate, Have another look maybe. DBX is much larger and its defo heavier. Check out the real Lasernut in action, Its insane man. Overall though the DBX is a far better build. People will say they are shit but these are race cars not skatepark 30ft jump acrobats. Both are great but for another $400 You can own a Arrma Fireteam in which is by far the best Desert Racer I own imo. The DBX is nearly as quick so at the price point its a great RACER. Have fun!
