Hey @kevintalbotrc May I please have a slash 4x4 brushless, thx
Didn't she you were rather tiny Kev? That's the story I heard. hehe
Kev on the mini monster trucks like the Granite Grom or Hyper go, shoe goo a ping pong ball on the roof of the body in the middle a quarter inch behind the windshield, It will always land on it's feet. You can also remove it by ripping it off. The shoe goo is not permanent if you don't sand the body before gluing the ping pong ball. Or you can make it permanent by sanding the body to rouging it up before gluing the ping pong ball on. I do it to all my mini trucks, Won't work on the mini street cars or buggies. Only the mini off-road trucks. Its like an automatic hand of God, lol.
Raminator yeah!!
kev im from costa rica please an X.MAXX
It's great little car for kids and cheap. Great to start your life to be more outdoor with your friends. Having fun with RC
Can I please have the Xmas?❤❤❤❤
this is one of the best RC cars i have ever bought. I recently got the 1/18 Grom Typhon and it too is fantastic. These 1/18th arrma trucks are Fantastic.
A bit expensive, but I am certain it will be durable.
I just got back into land based RCs. Arrma has been my introduction to modern stuff.
So far both my Big Rock and Senton have been a blast. I love taking these things to the park.
A nice custom hard bodied 1/10th scale crawler is probably my next project.
They should have done the brushed for $100, and a brushless for $130. They'd have sold them both like hotcakes.
Perfect for the little kids. my daughter is 4 and carrying around her 1/10 granite and the radio is a bit of a struggle. I'll probably get two of these for her and my son who is 2. Won't break when they crash, aren't too fast, and cheap enough that they won't have to share.
@@Blaquer17I got my daughter (6) a Traxxas Teton last Xmas would of liked one of these much more. The Teton feels half hobby grade half New Bright BUT all that really matters to her is it cane in pink😅
Just picked one up myself. I think these will catch on with newcomers and those who already have the RC bug. Definitely well made.
For a mini with a brushed motor it’s actually pretty speedy. Way faster than the stock latraxes. I’d like to see a brushless one more tho
I've watched your shows for a long time and you never fail us its always exciting very involved and you care about the people watching even if they haven't subscribed. Every rc you own is very cool but what makes the show the best is knowing that you will take the time to help others make money you rock keep Making videos
I really love my Grom, rips a skatepark pretty well and threw some paddle tires on from the HyperGo H14 and did pretty well on the beach too. VERY worth the $130 it is in the US. I was pretty disappointed with the HyperGo, the ESC throttle lag is very annoying and I'm surprised noone mentions it in their reviews
Get yourself the FTX tracer just as good if not better than the grom
in this video the model is MJX 16208, it costs much less than GROM, and if you get on sale, it’s almost free... there are never such discounts on arrma) the difference in motors (speeds) is obvious. and in this MXJ model that there is no problem with esc. excellent throttle response. before purchasing, look at reviews or read reviews and do not mislead people) peace
@@backdada"almost free"
Really? Because I've never seen even a 50% discount on Banggood, and 50% off would still be $38. I don't know what you call "almost free" but $38 is not almost free.
MJX make trash cars that are fast but fall apart, and all the spare parts are powder metal that breaks as quick as the stock parts.
I've owned and returned 3 of my 4 MJX RCs.
1: spur stripped
2: rear diff stripped
3: screws falling out of steering linkage
And none of them drove straight.
I was at my local Hobby Shop and they had one of these out on the counter, I said “you know Kev made those look fun mind if I try it out?” Couple rips up and down the parking lot and I was shocked by how zippy it was.. my daughter and I now have a couple Granite Groms wrapped up under the Christmas tree lol.
This was a entertaining video. With the release of Grom and Gorgon at more reasonable prices I think they are trying to compete with the cars like the Hyper Go and other brands. In the U.S. this passed weekend my local Hobbytown sold the Grom for $110. Horizon was not selling them on their website. They were supposedly trying to support the local hobby stores. The advantage of the small r/c cars is their size. You can put everything in a backpack and go to the spot you like to run. This was another excellent video.
I agree, I love my mini rock crawlers for this, I also have the 1/8 (real size 1/7) crawler but it is not great for me to jump on my e-bike to take to my local spots
ill take any one of them .. your awesome man .. i got back into rc because of you ... doin so saved my me and my dads relationship.. thank you!
That’s awesome dude!
I got two Groms last week for my 4yo lad and I. I think they're brilliant little things and ideal for kiddos. They're small and slow enough that they won't do any major damage to anyone or anything. Obviously never going to be like a 1/10th or bigger but I think there's definitely a fun factor they bring because they are so small. Plus it means you can just rip around in the garden or around the house too!
I was just about to say that: you can run em just about anywhere with not a lot of space. the thing about the hyper go? you can turn down the accelerator to "normal" speed and when they get better, crank in up to loony speed.
I bought two 1/10 Rival MT10 for my 4 year old daughter and myself. I did that because I turn hers down to slow to medium and she can grow with it so to speak. Thanks to kevin for the testing that led to a confident purchase.
Couldnt decide which one i wanted, today i got the granite. Im glad i did, i was jumping it at a small dirt mx track and driving it on pavement, its crazy fun and really durable. I dont think the other groms could do exactly what the granite did but im sure theyre good for other things. I had so much fun with it and only ran the battery dead 3 times. Im super impressed with the speed and that it looses traction on dry pavement, way more fun than a slow car that cant loose traction. Especially on dirt. Unbelievable car, only complaint is the motor getting really hot, i cant even hold my hand on the underside of the chassis under the motor it was so hot. Ill have go figure something out but thats it so far
You don’t see a lot of people doing the drop test first we love your process Kev💯😂✌️..
I drop my RC cars
That chassis bar upgrade is a freak. I love it! Now I have to find its video
On the outcast
On some of the hyper go's, if you hit the power button on the esc five times it gives you a hidden fast mode.
First time commenting on any video love your content. From Kentucky USA I'm 50 getting back into the hobby i want an x maxx because of your video on how durable they are.
Enjoy the hobby, I'm 39 and still going at it. Have fun!
Just getting back into it at 44 after not being in the RC scene since I owned my Nitro Traxxas (Xmax, Tmax?) Just got my 1st electric basher (Arrma BR 3S) and also got into scale crawling after decades of real life wheeling and building.
Kev, can you please review the team magic E5HX 3S version please Kev please
I like anyone you want too let go, I don't have money, but I do like RCs.
I would love to See Kevin turn a Skateboard into a Big RC.
He did turn a snowboard into one. It's called the sausage.
He already did it with a snowboard really would be no difference
Baboon
Snowboard was better lol the old sausage!!!
Since your on UA-cam I follow ALL your videos you are NUMBER 1 IN RC IN MY EYES..I will be in heaven to have one of your machines
Great review. The MJX is bloody fast on 3S (60km/h). Necessary? No, but a lot of fun…
XRT or the outcast 8s would be my dream truck 🥲 just got me an my 8 year old into the hobby!! Skate parks, home made ramps around the house etc. so much fun an also teaches her machine skills 😅😊
Ain't 🅝🅞 way dropping $1K on a RC
There Should have definitely been a brushless version especially for that price 💰
You said to ask which RC I would like, and that would be anything that is actually a tenth scale. Thank Kevin! 🙂
I'll never understand the joy and desire so many seem to have for breaking and destroying things.
It's just fun to do jumps. I love sending my X-maxx 45 feet in the air. If you know how to control it in the air, it usually doesn't break.
Some of your rigs are just simply amazing 🎉
I liked my own comment
At least you're honest about it!!
@kevintalbotrc HE want that everybody likes his comment. Such a bright intelligent minded genius. High IQ techniques. Bravo, Amazing😅
@@Humble444 people like you brighten my days! 👍 its really nice
😂 😂 😂 😂 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
😂
I thinke it would be nice if you would install a 3s power system! (Brushless)
Your really informative on the cars you show thank u for that been looking at the 1/16 scale for a couple weeks thank u.
I’m impressed with both of them! RC has come so far. Just in like the last ten years!
agree i started out with a nikko black cat rc buggy 8AA batteries 4 houer to full charge and between 10-15 minutes of runtime.
after that i started with nitro kyosho inferno 1:10 and its been a couple more cars after that, now im racing xray xb2 and bashing a traxxas slash 2wd love em both for their komplete opposite characteristics and slash i could run for 30-60 minutes on a 6600mah 2s lipo.
I agree, crawlers and the hobbywing setup are great to be able to tune the drag etc
Everything has changed tremendously in last 10 years
@@extec101Same here had it as kid in the good ol '80's..
@@dieseldabz7104 you had a black cat?
Great little car to start off someone's Christmas! Maybe do a video on budget friendly sub £200ish cars for your little ones? I'd like to see a review on the Ftx Carnage 2.0 as I'm looking at this for my son's first hobby grade 💯👌🏻
I was gonna get him the Arrma Gorgon, but you just can't get stock anywhere at the moment and all on back order with no dates.. 🤷🏼♂️
Get the ftx ramraider looks decent tomley rc has reviewed it few times 3s rtr for £230
I love the tamiya mini back in the mid 90s... awesome litlle thing, if u have that i would want that one.. 😊❤
Painting my 74.2 Jconcepts body right now, can't wait till they ship my kit man, you inspired me to build a race 1/10th, doin the Spencer Rivkin Team Associated build.
Kev, I'm pretty sure there's a "turbo" button on the Hypergo. Look for a red button on the ESC and press it either three or five times. When I bought my HyperGo I thought it was super slow. Turns out the turbo mode was off.
I’m getting on to rc cars any suggestions that are cheap on American dollars but also fast
I like the Arrma outcast 8s and done the raffle
The XMAX all the way. Been wanting one for years. I have a brand new traxxas slash 2xr that I turned into a mudboss racer with speed gears and I love it
He always makes me smile when I'm sad
I would like to get one of these rc cars
We needed this one kev especially now the groms have taken hold. I expect few more views for this now. Hopefully more Groms! No doubt a truggy next
Day two kev can you please do something with the udr please
I have a high trail edition trx4 k5 blazer.... a new rustler 4x4 bls-2 ..... two trx4m's one high trail the other a regular bronco and the truck I play with the most is my little arrma granite grom!! Lil truck is fast...handles great and is tough as nails!! My next purchase will either be a full size granite or a big rock 3s 💯. I'm a big traxxas guy but damn the arrma trucks are badass 😎
Its my 8yr old sons birthday next week and we dont have much to give him as ive been injured at work and havnt had income. We would love one of your cars. My son has autism and he find joy in cars

"Grom stems from the word grommet, a term generally used to denote the lowest ranking members of a naval ship. This term was then borrowed by the Australian surf community to describe young, skilled surfers, employed as both a term of respect and a way to poke a little fun at the younger guys and girls in the water."
Bought one of these for my daughters first RC 🤟
I really like the Arrma TALION it looks really cool and is like you said between buggy and truck known as truggy. This looks like it will be really strong and fast therefore I would love to own one.
I WANT YOUR XTR ! It will be great in my collection !
My son and I love our Arrma 3s Big Rock and Senton but I did not see any Arrmas on the wall. That being said would love love love a 6s Arrma or the XMaxx 🙏 Cheers mate.
Thanks for the entertainment Kev
Kev I know you don’t do drones but I’m learning to take old drones apart and build them to sell for thousands thx to you
Think more laws need to be set in place with drones. Too many people use them for wrong reasons like spying or worse. I'd bet 10% actually use accordingly for stuff like professional photographer. Large drones that can have things attached like weapons should be banned in the US..
@@dieseldabz7104 personally I do videography but I agree
I would like to see the trx4m
Rock on Kevin living the dream!!!!...dragster....dragster....250mph plus!!!!!...hope to see soon!!!...love your motivations...!!! Christmas every day!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Kev are the boost granites any good
nice vid! good job on the review on both bashers. i hope that your move to the isle of man is going well for you and can't wait to see the first vid from your new home! cheers and see you in the next one!
Do video on the granite grom versus the latrax tenton
M8 you are the most fun basha to watch ,I have a arrma kraton 6s which is pretty cool,but I would so love to ow
to unlock the Hyper Go to full power on 3s you have to press the switch 5 times until you hear 3 beeps - then it should easily be 30mph+
So mister Kevin Talbot is a Top of the r/c models in the world!!!!!🎉😊
Surfers and skaters used to call little kids/up and comers "grommets" and it shortens nicely to "grom" and is fun to describe things that are SMOL
I love my granite grom but I would LOVE one of your X-maxx shipped to my door 😝
Been watching for years now. Love the channel. I’m not picky I’ll take anyone. lol. I’m also not that lucky sooooo. Have a great day from 🇨🇦
I got one with the kiddo. $130 with a lipo and AA’s even…while it isn’t as good as some of my small brushless mt’s - it is fun. :)
Grom is an Aussie word - meaning - A young surfer, wakeskater, wakeboarder, snowboarder, skimboarder, skateboarder, or kiteboarder. They were having this contest for grommets. The waves were micro.
Not an Aussie word and I'm Aussie as well, used worldwide for the miniature of things like the grom dirt bikes etc too. But your right 👍 in the rest of course
I’ve had both my groms 30 feet in the air back to back on every skatepark sesh and I haven’t broken a thing, I’ve had both trucks about 3 months
Your videos are the best! My daughter and I watch them all the time. We are still trying to convince the wife to let us get some. I would love your TLR Typhoon and my daughter wants a typhoon grom. Hook it up Kevin and make our dreams come true!
Grom means little one!!!!
Put the motor from the full size granite in it!!!!!!!!! Everyone is doing brushless. Give it a propper sized upgrade. MORE POWER!!!! This is something i think we all wanna see.
I hope Arrma comes out with a Granite Grom brushless version with either a slipper clutch or center diff. I think the direct drive will be too hard on the drivetrain with brushless power.
I've never driven one of these. They look so much fun! Any of them would be nice to start.
All your collection are great and your so lucky your arrma 8s outcast is what I would love to win for me and my son to get into the rc hobby 😊
The local R/C shop must love seeing you walk in .
The granites body release design reminds me of my xmod Hummers body release mechanism
nice car 💛💛
I’d be happy with any Kev over the moon intact 👏
Also need to press esc on the hyper go 5 times to take it off learning mode
I love your videos and I've only had a granite Grom in the vortex 2 wheel drive I'd really love to have one of them Traxxas but they're a little bit hard to afford these days
Ello governor!!!
I plan on buying a Grom!!!
I'd like an armma or maybe a mini Maxx or crawler. Would be sick love the videos!
Let’s raffle your UDR Kev?? Maybe do a video with it to get everyone hyped up about it? Just an idea… also, one of your planes would be cool too. Not your really expensive ones that you want to fly, but a cool one… just another idea🙄
Kev if I put 4100kv and 3s in a granite grom with metal diff do you still think the diff would survive it
I have one look on the back uv the controller there is a switch to make it go fast
8s Steve been learning to twerk 😂😂
I have purchased 5 of these hyper go trucks lol . Great budget truck
I just recently purchased 2 big rocks for my son and I. I wanted the senton tho . Love the vids kev !
Thank you for your videos I love your content it's both entertaining and educational i love the decked out outcast would love to win it but no doubt much rather have a primal rc it's my dream thanks again please keep the videos coming
he is the best man to ever live in rc
The mini flux hp was fun that thing on 3s hauled ass did wheelies like hell on the tap
I would like that bad ass outcast😂
I bought 1 last month. It's a cool truck. Servo saver a little weak.
Grom means “little one” from what I’ve heard 😎 I love mine. I zoom it around my basement and on the little track I made. It’s just so much fun and durable as heck! I built a miniature obstacle course in the basement and it fell to the concrete floor from about 2-3 feet high more times than I’d like to admit and nothing has broken on it yet! I personally feel it was worth every penny of the $129 price tag I paid. I just don’t understand why some people wanna hate on the Grom. Just enjoy it for what it is. It’s a small 4x4 RC car with a brushed motor and a 2s Lipo that goes 20mph. That’s all so just enjoy it. It’s not supposed to be a speed demon capable of 40-50mph speeds. Enjoy the hobby people, have fun, and stop complaining about what something isn’t. Great video as always, Kevin. 🤘🏼
And still, that MJX is nearly half the price and does reach 40mph on 3S. Yes, the video is wrong. Check any other video on the MJX 16208 and it's 40mph or 65kmh.
@@janklaassen6404 that’s cool. But I still prefer the Grom. Just my personal preference. I have plenty of regular RC cars 1/10 scale and bigger that go plenty fast. I’m personally not interested in any of the off brand RC cars like MJX. There’s zero parts support from any local hobby shops by me. And my local hobbytown has never even heard of MJX, or WLToys, or Haiboxing, etc. And they break so easy. My neighbor has two hyper gos for his boys. They aren’t even hard on them. But every time they drive them, something breaks. And they’re always waiting for up to a week or more for parts in the mail. The hobby isn’t fun when you have cars that are on your workbench more than you’re driving them. Again just my opinion. There’s plenty of people who like the hyper gos and if that’s what makes them happy that’s all that matters.
@@janklaassen6404 I’m also curious where you shop online? Because the cheapest I’ve seen the MJX 16208 anywhere is $110 from TEMU. That’s only $19 less, and nowhere near “half the price” of the Grom as you’re claiming. In fact, I’ve not seen any of the MJX hyper gos for nearly half the price of the Grom. They’re either all just as expensive, and in some cases, much more expensive. And even from TEMU at $110, by the time you add shipping and handling and taxes, it’s nearly the same price as walking into a hobby shop to buy the Grom. If you’re finding the MJX 16208 somewhere for $70-$80 please tell me where because at that price even I might buy one.
@@OGRCFanatic I think we just value aspects of an rc car differently. I actually prefer not to visit physical stores and really enjoy the low prices. As for durability, that's hard to determine. There are basher video's in skateparks that they survive. And I really enjoy the high top speed. It looks crazy for such a small car. I like to race on the street among cyclists. They all think it's an impressive toy. I get lots of smiles and positive remarks. It if you like Arrma, like to visit local stores, like instant parts, then sure. Do your thing. It's about what you like. If you enjoy your purchase, then that's all that matters.
@@janklaassen6404 right on 🤘🏼😎
I could use a rc truck or car when I was living in good grace after work I used to always always play now I owe child support rent lost my car due to loss of job wow wow really just spilled I used to have so much going on it's unfortunate now I watch your videos to get a smile thanks
I have to live at my parents house and it really is embarrassing if I had money again I would have a rc life again I just don't have any way to fix my stamped but hey if I could have anything it would be xmax. Xmax definitely I think you are the most coolest happiest person to watch I wish I lived by you I would mow your lawn just to bash I miss it so much. Take care bud thanks for sharing.
Am new to this channel and this hobby.. Loving the content.
Not overpriced in comparison to the cost of Rc's today. Actually fun machines to drive and nice for the kiddos to learn on. Having the ability to change power output on the controller from 50/75/100 is awesome and the ability to change steering rate, reverse servo, and steering trim all on the controller is massive as well. It's actually a nice little package.
Love it. Who else takes brand new things and drops them from the second story!
I have around 300 rc models but I don't have a raminator!! That's the one I don't have!
That's Arma is a bit expensive for a brushed version. I'm sure it's good quality but come on!! Brushed! What?
We drive RC cars too, and we’ve been loving them
bro i have to but i have only 13 years old
I want that it would do great in my small yard 👍🏽
I definitely love the way you test Vehicles, Kevin.
That Outkast 8s is a beast
