Hi Kevin, ok so remember this simple rule when drilling metal. The harder the metal the slower the speed. Also a good drilling fluid is automotive antifreeze. Just remember to clean ot up properly because its roxic to animals. Good luck and thanks for the great vids!
I also love your videos a lot. I’ve only been watching for around a month or so but I was interested in rc cars since I was a kid and my uncle was running his nitro traxxas up the road haha but your videos have completely reclaimed my interest in rc cars. Thank you 🤙
@@KevinTalbotTV hey kev, I'm not trying to be mean here, but i do feel like you changed to where you're just trying to gain subs and all that. In some videos you ask us to sub every 5 minutes y'know. We came here because we love your content, and subscribe if we want to do so. Also, bout the fact that you needed rest, is that going to happen? You do need to take a break if you're wearing yourself out y'know.. it's okay if we don't get a video every day. You're a great man Kev, i truly mean that!
Lube the spots with some oil as u drill so the bit can stay sharper longer, otherwise the friction generated heat will soften the drill bit and go dull fast, and also drill at a slower speed. Drilling to fast will dull the bit faster also. With titanium, you do need a carbide /diamond dusted drill bit rated for high tensile strength, but also can do it with stepping the drill bit gauge in stages. Make a pilot mark, with a punch, and then start off with 2 steps smaller drill bit to break through a pilot hole, then you can step up next size, widen the hole, and then one more size up drill bit to final size. Thats how i learned to do it with metals harder than iron/steel to drill. But cutting, either carbide based, diamond dusted blade and lube also, or plasma cutter / high pressure water jet cutting table.
You know what I’d love, if the big rc guys like this would start selling builds like this one, or just start a business where they sell upgraded rc’s......I’d definitely be a customer
Bead locks for burnouts? It seems like the heat is gonna break the beads loose on most all glue on tires. And thanks for the little info on mixing up wires on sensored motors, it explains why I fried an ESC when I was trying to throw together a test setup for a friends new rig. It was a Tamiya ESC so no labels on the wires and I was too lazy to research, Oh well it was junk before it melted anyway.
Black drill bit some oil so your bit could last and drill slower let the drill bite, high speed just prematurely wears out you drill bits, better yet get a small bench press😁👍🏼
“Kevin talbot’ that is surprisingly strong chassis strength metal. Try out a traxxas summit kev please I love mine it’s wicked fun not the fastest but is all around great in all fields
I'm a complete 60 years old noob who wants to try this drifting and looking to build a small scale car any ideas were I should start please . Great video mate .
Karhuryhmä Ü who said they were made of steel. I said I wanted to get one and have a titanium chassis made which is 5 times stronger than steel. Nowhere did I say it’s 5 times stronger than the steel chassis that’s on it. I merely stated a fact about titanium
@@jamesfair9751 You said 5 times stronger than steel, and i've seen people talking about their steel chassis, so I assumed you were another one of those people.
I just built exactly this same rig- two things: 1. Why do you want to run two lipo's in there to get 6s? Put a loop on one connector and run a single battery, save about one pound on an 8 pound car... that's a lot when you're jumping it... 2. Who do you have this race car for bashing anyway? You need something with more ground clearance for your style don't you? This is made for about 25mm ground clearance, and a nice smooth track with some jumps- not a skate park! Not criticizing- just curious...
I think he knows that and it's why he didn't respond, he knows more about the hobby than most people watching and it is his job to sell RC parts on eBay. He has like 50 RC cars so he knows what they are for he's not dumb and he has said in many videos he is not a racer he is a basher and bashes every RC he has no matter what model it is that's what he likes to do, bash it break it and repair/upgrade it.
@@99thpeanut59 yup I got into this argument about the Arrma Typhon with another guy, he was saying that you have to buy 6s batteries and there so expensive and wah wah wah, then I explained you can run two 3s or two 4s batteries and on Amazon can get two for like 50$ 2 or 3s, he never responded back lol.
Not really a race buggy, kind of both, a basher and racer. It's really durable anyways so who cares about ground clearance. All of his cars bottom out the way he drives them. And here's basically your question: "Why would you want to double the power?".
Go on Amazon I got a 18$ brushless motor on there that does 80mph easy, the ESC on the other hand you might want to get a good one but they have very cheap brushless ESC on Amazon as well. I have a brushless motor and ESC for a 10th scale that I don't use it does around 50mph I just bought a more powerful one to go faster since they are so cheap on Amazon. I would totally give my other brushless set up away I just don't know how unless it's in person lol.
Hi Kev Gr8 vid. I have a hyper 21 nitro, no patience for nitro anymore. Any idea what I’d need to convert to electric? Can I use original center diff etc? Is there different mounts needed for motor/ esc? Any advice would be great. 👍
@@rc4life315 uhh no hobbywing is one of Castle's main competitors, that would be like pepsi buying Cokes and putting a Pepsi label on it or Chevy buying Ford rangers and putting Chevy badge's on them.......see my point it makes no sense at all.
I was looking at a Redcat Everest 10 for my first crawler. I have a 4 yr old daughter that I wanted to do this with. Do you know much about them? Thanks Kelly
I have talked to a guy who has one and he loves it he drove it over his friends trx4 lol, another great first crawler is the ecx barrage or a doomsday barrage they are cheap and have a very similar chassis design to a trx4, I just got a ecx barrage at my local hobby shop for 99$ and it's awesome. They are usually anywhere from 160$ to 220$ which is exactly the price range of the redcat lol. I'm going to get the Everest 10 too because I have heard nothing but good things about it.
If you want to get a crawler I personally would get axial. I have experience with redcat and many just little things break, like receiver bad connectors reverse does not work, then it works so just get an axial.
Fine_ Gamer doesn't work on this buggy tho cause the center diff is in the way ..it's best to running under the battery tray and stuff the rest in the RX box
Kevin. Do you have any advice on shimming front end of a sloppy Hyper VS? Owt in your shop like a set of shims I could buy? I’m making a few replaceable lexan Shields for my new light weight chassis.
Im thinking about using the same ecu and motor in my ecx torment but i dont know what batteries to get. What can you recomend battery wise? Love the videos by the way
Hi kev where can I get that motor mount from ? I have a hyper 7 it was nitro but converted it to brushless but I want to fit a bigger motor and my mount isn't good enough cheers bud. Awasomes vids by the way
We’re did you get the motor mount I have a Hobao hyper 8.5 an wanting too convert it too brushless as nitros all good an fun just haven’t got patience anymore 😂
Ok thx man, i just Wanted to Know Because i have the same combo and when i repared my car it was going opposite directions so i was Scared to Swap Cables because i didnt know if it is sensorless, i already figured it but still thanks Mate (sorry my english I'm from germany)
Im a racer and I got a new team associated b74 the newest 4wd buggy and the chassis is all Nice and new and I don’t have a chassis protector but I really want to run it
Just purchased the Hobbywing max 8 combo and my power switch and set button doesn’t work. When I plug the battery in the car is on and the only way for me to turn it off is to unplug the battery. Would you say it’s still safe to drive since something inside the ESC seems to be short?

What is it?
maybe its something wrong sitting on the trigger :P

Oh old Kev videos are epic
Kev seemed depressed at these days compared to now.. different person !! still love to see his videos
You should do that titanium plate thing with your xmax that would make so many sparks
I love the repair videos ...not as fun doing my own repairs 😞
Damn all those HPI’s in the back🔥
One of the best Rc channels dude keep it going 👍

It's called Ebay....
Your some guy Kev! I dig it the most!
Drilling way to fast. Need to go slow on hard material.
Thanks Dude! Appreciate the help and advice. Barry from California! You're the man
Awesome, that's gonna be so fast!! The idea about the titanium is good, will look cool going up a ramp! :)
Great set up I rub Hobbywing and ez-Run.and 2200kv.6S.very fast👊👊👍👍
I have the Hobao Hyper ss and I love that buggy even though it's been discontinued, it's going to be really hard to find parts, good video👍🏻
It's almost the same as the hyper VSe.
Ken nice Video, these hobao's are really nice cars. I just converted mine into a Rally car
2:29 why it’s ALWAYS a good idea to keep the hand grip on your grinder 😂😂
And always pull the blade rotating away from the way your pulling it.. never push against the way it's turning.
Love this style of videos
That's a nice set up. I bet it moves.
Awesome video Kevin 👍🏼👍🏼 I’m doing the same build but just noticed I’ll have to grind the battery box.
wow Kev you have come so far ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊 well done Kev love your work and all your video s ...
The brake cleaner i've used makes tamiya plastic turn white, just FYI! PS - I like the heatshrink stretch trick!
In general, brake cleaner is great for rc's and especially nitro!
That music tho!!! Thank you for not putting that in videos anymore, lol.

saya kagum dengan koleksi RC anda bos ,kapan saya punya RC seperti itu .salam kenal dari INDONESIA ☺☺☺😊😊🙏🙏🙏
I just purchased an mx8 combo for my UDR is that a good match up for that vehicle??? Love the videos you guys are funny as hell!!
Drill it in a low gear slower the better and use oil or cutting lube
I will try that thanks
High pressure low speed, I make Titanium plane parts and thats how its done, plus new cobalt drill bits help too
Yup i was going to say the same thing, i drill alot of titanium with hss drills and just use a slow speed and water to keep it cool
Great video as usual Kev is that system compatible 8s?
Binge-watching pretty creative dude
i love your videos sometimes when i have troble fixing rcs i go to your channel
Thanks dude :)

Id love to see the titanium plates sparking. Try just double faced tape on it. It should hold.
I'm a complete 60 years old noob who wants to try this drifting and looking to build a small scale car any ideas were I should start please . Great video mate .
SMS kustoms get a rustler Vxl for bashing, get a tc4 or e10 or sprint 2 for drifting
This is an awesome vid.
Hey kev I have a titanium drill bit it's 7 mm wide I will send it to you ! Also if you don't need it when are yo7 going to finish this
you forgot your hearing protection kev
Why do people swap motor leads when you can program motor direction in 2 seconds? Great system!!!
2seconds? first you need to attach the program card, then start it up, go to that point and change it. swapping cables is way quicker and easier
@@hansdampf3576 ya, your right, I’m just used to it. Swapping cables is faster. Thanks Hans.
I like keeping my wires neat, so I use a program card. But, there's no reason why you can't swap over two wires.
This really makes me want to get a notorious and have a custom titanium chassis made for it. Not only super light but 5 times stronger than steel.
Janes Fair Who has a steel chassis? They’re aluminum.
