ZD Racing 08425 1/8 Brushless Buggy 11-11 Sale $153.99
Edit 11/12/2018 These are now on sale for $153.99 during the 11-11 sales at Gearbest. Click me to order.
I've been looking forward to this ZD Racing 08425 1/8 RTR brushless buggy for a little while now. I wanted to get an inexpensive 1/8 platform to convert into a pavement punisher for high speed blasts up and down my street and driveway. I plan on using 3s in my driveway and 4s out in the street. After I get in a couple runs in completely stock form, I will be putting on some street tires, and a custom Delta Plastik USA cab forward body. My plan is to have a fast, fun, and good looking buggy, and a few battery packs for under $300 total. So far it seems my plan is coming together. I have ordered the Delta Plastik USA EVO DP body, and the street wheels/tires. Now I need to find a couple suitable 4s batteries. Detailed pics, and running video coming ASAP. I will also be measuring max speeds on 3s and 4s with several different size pinion gears using one of my older phones with a speedometer APP. Stay tuned! This should be fun! For ZD Racing spare and replacement parts in the USA visit EMP Hobby. They are located in Miami FL and carry virtually everything for ZD Racing cars and trucks. EDIT 11/20 Here's a quick first test run in my driveway. It's good to go, so next I will get it to a more open area and do a max speed test with a speedometer APP.
EDIT 11/28 A couple quick speed runs on 3s

Howdy anfeno! Welcome to RCG! Your English is just fine. The motor should be able to handle 4s without issue. We will know soon, as I will be putting it to the test as soon as my 4s battery arrives.
I got the street wheels and tires here. You may want to order them from here though since you are outside of the USA. Have fun with the buggy, and be sure to share some pics of yours when it arrives. |

Hi guys, I also bought this car 2 days ago.
I am from Brazil and my order is still as "Packed" on the website of the gearbest and as "Dispatched" in the application of the mobile. I am very anxious to receive soon and to test of what this car is able, apparently he is very strong, I am in doubt as to the wheels put in him, the way is to wait to arrive to see. Let's keep in touch and exchange our experiences. Hugs. ps: Sorry for my English. |

The Delta Plastik USA EVO DP body arrived today. I'm happy to say that it's a good fit, and I must say a pretty nice body. I had to trim a bit here and there to get it right, but all in all it was an easy, and straight forward job.

Picked up some decals for the new body

Managed to get the body painted over the weekend. Kept it a simple one color job. I still need to get a few more decals applied, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

It was interesting the body, I will probably do the same, however I am still waiting for my arrive, the couriers of my country is very slow.
I plan to also upgrade on it to run with lipo 4s or 6s battery, will it be worth it? |

I will try to put 4s in the standard electronics of it too, but the risk of burning the engine / esc is great right.
If it succeeds, it will run very close to the quiet 50mph, and changing the amount still to try to put the pinion of the traxxas xo1 of 34T (pinion to top speed). |
