ZD Racing Pirates 3 TC-10 1/10 Scale 4WD Brushless Touring Car Ready-to-Run Black

The ZD Racing Pirates 3 TC-10 is a 1/10 scale electric touring car designed for on-road speed and stable handling. Featuring a low-profile chassis and a track-focused layout, this model is ideal for use in parking lots, smooth asphalt, and beginner racing environments. It comes as a Ready-to-Run package with the electronics pre-installed, making it accessible for beginners while still providing performance that experienced drivers will appreciate.

Performance

This touring car is powered by a 3300KV brushless motor paired with a 45A ESC, delivering strong acceleration and top speeds of up to around 60 km/h. The 4WD drivetrain provides consistent traction and improved cornering stability on paved surfaces. Front and rear anti-roll bars help reduce body roll, while the drivetrain uses metal components and efficient drive shafts for smoother power delivery.

Design and Features

The TC-10 features a low-slung touring car chassis with an aerodynamic body shell designed for reduced drag. An aluminum alloy chassis improves rigidity while keeping weight balanced. Oil-filled adjustable shocks allow tuning for different surfaces, and high-speed ball bearings throughout the drivetrain help reduce friction. The enclosed transmission system helps protect internal components from debris during outdoor driving.

Control

The included 2.4GHz radio system provides proportional throttle and steering, allowing precise control at both low and high speeds. Steering is responsive, making it suitable for tighter turns and controlled driving on smooth tracks. With a control range of up to approximately 400 meters, it can be used comfortably in larger open spaces.

Build Quality

This model combines an aluminum chassis with metal drivetrain components, including differentials and drive shafts, to improve durability during high-speed runs. The use of anti-roll bars and reinforced suspension components contributes to stability and long-term reliability when driven on paved surfaces. Overall construction is closer to entry-level hobby-grade than toy-grade vehicles.

Ease of Use and Maintenance

The Pirates 3 TC-10 comes pre-assembled, reducing setup time. Maintenance involves routine cleaning, checking drivetrain components, and keeping shocks and bearings in good condition. The layout allows access to major components, although some parts may require hobby-grade tools for adjustments or replacements.

Special Notes

This is a Ready-to-Run model, including the vehicle, transmitter, brushless motor, ESC, and steering servo. A 2S 7.4V LiPo battery and compatible charger are required but not included. The transmitter requires AA batteries. This setup allows users to choose their preferred battery capacity for longer run time or higher performance.
