ZD Racing Pirates 2 B 1/8 4WD Brushless RTR Off-Road Buggy

The ZD Racing Pirates 2 B 1/8 4WD Brushless RTR Off-Road Buggy is a high-speed competition-style buggy featuring a powerful brushless motor, 80A ESC, and full-time 4WD. This RC off-road buggy reaches speeds up to 80 km/h on 4S LiPo, with independent suspension, oil-filled shocks, and durable construction. Its lightweight chassis and aggressive tires make it a choice for hobbyists interested in remote control off-road buggies for backyard bashing or track racing.

Performance

The brushless motor paired with an 80A ESC delivers explosive acceleration and top speeds up to 80 km/h on 4S power. Full-time 4WD with center diff and high-grip tires provides excellent traction on dirt, grass, and pavement. Adjustable oil-filled shocks and reinforced suspension handle big jumps and rough terrain with confidence. Runtime averages 12–18 minutes on a 4S 5000mAh pack, with efficient cooling for sustained high-speed runs.

Build Quality

Lightweight aluminum chassis with metal drive shafts, sealed ball bearings, and heavy-duty CVD joints ensure durability under high stress. The polycarbonate body with separate wings survives high-speed crashes and rollovers. Waterproof electronics protect against dust and splashes. Users report good longevity even after aggressive bashing, though plastic parts may wear on very rough surfaces.

Control

The included 2.4GHz transmitter offers full proportional steering and throttle with good range. Response is crisp and precise—ideal for high-speed maneuvers and tight corners. Steering trim and throttle endpoints are adjustable. Transmitter requires 4×AA batteries (not included).

Design and Features

Aggressive buggy styling in blue with detailed body graphics and a functional wing. Quick-release body clips for fast battery access. The buggy arrives fully factory-assembled and tuned for immediate high-speed off-road use. Includes everything needed except transmitter batteries and LiPo battery/charger.
