The fact that you’re doing all of this without all those machines just makes this even cooler and more impressive. Can’t wait to see this thing running and driving.
@@KevinTalbotTV doesn’t matter. You could bruise a bone if the sides are to tight. Like I said. Put the fire suit on, and get v2vids or swamp thing to sight for ya
Would adding 1" offsets to the cushion bolts work? If there's more room, you could make a sub frame. May check with the manufacturer and competition rules.
You still need to get in with your full race gear. Then add your padding to the seat for snug fit before you go ahead on cutting it to maybe to small fit. Just from one Manufacture to another.
I love this...the fact you’re pretty much doing it all by yourself and without a £multi-million garage just adds to the charm...like you said “it’s just a big toy” but you’re in it. The work you’ve done so far is brilliant 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I loved how you simply could not contain your excitement in the opener. Your edits are amazing, music choice is always on point…but personally, I attribute a lot your success to just how happy of a human being you are. World needs that, sorely. Thank you.
Your scallops are EPIC !! MEANING YOUR WELDS ARE ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! I have been a steel fabricator for 18 years. I am impressed kevin. Not to hot not to cold not to fast not to slow. Nice work. I will be routing for you big man. Much respect.
You know what I'm happy about? Your education and 9 to 5 job experience, REALLY helps out I bet! 💪😁👍 Build it Kev! Can't help but wonder what will snap first... stock items, or the ones you touched... What do you think!? I don't know if you'll spot my comment but, 👍👍
Your cutting and welding bits of metal that probably hundreds if not thousands. You have more guts than I do.. I'd be panicking because one false move could be very costly.. well done kev I admire your enthusiasm x
👀 Wow, you are doing amazing welding jobs 👍👍👍 You are AWESOME! I can't believe how much custom parts you have to make to get this Monster together. Man, I love that thing already! Can't wait to see how the engine goes in 😘😘😘
It’s really bad ass how you are fabbing up so much of the parts you need from scratch. I don’t think a lot of people realize the skill and imagination that takes.
Tip: use a wire brush wheel on your grinder for removing the paint before a weld. Not a grinder disc. You are grinding away precious metal, not just paint. More than you probably think.
I still can't believe it's finally happening! So cool to see Kev's welding/fabricating skills being put to use. Say what you like about the guy but to be able to finance AND build your own monster truck on the back of nothing but your own hard work and determination is impressive stuff.
“It’s only a toy, but I’m in it, so I have to do it properly” Yessiree, that something I always have to force myself to remember and follow, because sometimes you get so excited, that you want to rush things just so you can play sooner.
Wow Kev, it’s looking amazing so far. Maybe an idea from me for the monster truck would be ahaving an extra fire extinguisher attached to the right side of your seat. And maybe for some decorations, you could add some metallic red to the rims. It’s gonna look sick no matter what though.
Keep up the awesome work Kevin. Love watching your videos. You should be proud of all the things you’ve achieved. Massive respect and it’s awesome that you’re English :)
Awesome fabrication skills Kev!! I know you responded to the torquing comments on a previous video, but it would be a good idea to implement the torque mark standard when you tighten everything to ensure you've not missed a fixing.
One more idea. Don’t remove the Original ring. Add your new ring with spacers from old to new ring. And weld them on. That will add enough strength to that wheels with out loosing strength from cutting out the Existing ring on the wheel
Kevin. This is the best set I vids I've ever seen on UA-cam. Before I saw your vids. I never had an rc car or liked monster trucks. I'm now obsessed with RC's and the monster truck bug us also growing. When you done and doing an event I'm sure it will get packed out just of people wanting to see you forfill your dream!!!
Man, I like how you are working absolutely to the max to complete this build your own way. Cutting, grinding, drilling, sanding, welding and all just with hand tools. Big respect, Kevin! May I ask how many days building on your monster truck in this video?
I don't know what type of harnesses you plan on using but I highly recommend ratcheting ones, they will hold you so tight into the seat you will barely be able to move your body. They are the only way to go 👍As for the shoulder supports, I would just add some firm padding to them. Cheers!
There are all those professionals out there, using all kinds of garage machinery to build and modify monster trucks and cars, and here...is Kev...😂...who don't know what he is doing but still believe that he's building the world's best monster truck. All the best Kev, this is for sure THE WORLD'S BEST MONSTER TRUCK BUILD!!👍🤙🔥 Edit: By the way, is there anyone else who is worried about kev building this MONSTER TRUCK just like he builds his rc car!!!
This guy is doing stuff. While all i do is be depressed and lay around the house doing nothing. i wish so much it wasnt that way. But seeing Kev build his dreams is some sort of an inspiring move, and makes me want to come out of the rut im in. Its easier said than done, specially when ive been some years like this.
Fixing RC cars in my opinion is the best way to learn about and build up confidence to work on a real car. Thanks to this hobby I am able to learn and fix all of my family’s cars as well as my own. And, DIY will let you know exactly what is wrong and how to troubleshoot the issue rather then having a mechanic guessing and causing more problems or issues they don’t know from the start which can lead to more problems or issues. But, DIY can also causes more issues if you don’t know what you are doing so it’s always a learning experience for me which is always great in doing better in future repairs or build. Great job Kev!! Can’t wait to see you bashing it up in this giant MT. Cheers 🍻👍
not only looking forward to not only see the build - putting it into perspective - it's a large RC - but see what kind of interesting driving you can do with it - this blows my mind - f monster trucks you'll have a modified trailer - crawler !!!!! how's that sound buddy 😃
That welding background is being put to full force now! The skills are epic! Imagine Kevin in a fully supplied fab shop! Still can’t believe this is happening, can’t wait to see the finished product
You are living out every man’s childhood dream. I can’t wait to see how the rest of it goes. Keep up the hard work, I’m sure you’ll get it all sorted out and smashing cars in due time.
Well impressed keV, your problem solving, welding skills and your attitude towards this build. You are a dark horse with regards to what you can do. All credit to you Kev.
I genuinely love watching you work on the Monster truck Kev! Seeing you weld and modify parts is great! I work on a Maintenance team at a huge Distribution Center and love building and fixing thing's 👍👍 And Plasma cutters are frigging wicked bro! I wish I had one as we had one at my highschool and I took Welding shop every year 👌 Used to make myself belt buckles and cool stuff with the plasma and welder hahah
When you do your seatbelt bar for your shoulder straps make sure their level from where your shoulder sit harness will keep you in better if they're too low it can pull down on your back awesome welds by the way
You must really love what you're doing with this truck because it looks like a royal PIA to build in your garage. Also it looks like welding is as essential skill to this project as soldering is to rc. Best of luck with this!
Kevin you are very talented!!! Your welding is spot on, You have good knowledge of fitment(making a plan), You know how utilize all your tools and materials, You keep us entertained while doing your work, You manage to provide us great footage and your editing is very good as well. So glad I am subscribed to your channel. 🙌🏾
Hey congrats for the build!! AMAZING! I have one remark: the fact that you are linking the two shocks together might restrict the kinematic during their travel; I believe that from full compression to full extension the two shocks bodies move relative to each other, even if by a small amount. If you block them with that big L-bracket (which you built @10:15) you will restrict their relative movement, and that leads to extra forces exchanged between the shocks pistons/bodies, which will wear out the sealing faster. that's just my remark, maybe I am wrong..
The planetary gear fill lots of marine grade grease .....it's massive but ossum can't wait to hear it's V8 Chevy..... well done putting self made parts good👍🏼👍🏼
Bravo Kev, saw a lot of ingenuity & workarounds for the lack of bigger tools 👌🏻and honestly I did not expect the welds to be as good looking as we they did, properly underestimated your skills 🙏🏻
I can see an issue with the shocks being tied/braced together, I think the bracket will bend and fatigue/stress as it's all heim'ed together and no play is technically allowed in that setup except for the travel itself. The shocks travel arcs are slightly different even though they are right next to each other. I'd stand them off with some flexible material so there's a little bit of give. My 5 cents, see how it goes. Love the build, not hating just trying to contribute.
Absolutely amazing what you've been able to accomplish without a true fab shop, I'm just blown away. You truly epitomize the "men in sheds" saying. Keep on carrying on! Just awesome
I thought I was drawn in to watch by the rc aspect of videos, but this was so easy to watch I think anything Kevin might think of doing I’d be into seeing. Can’t wait to see it run!!
Definetly need to paint or powder coat all the steel bits that are bolted to alloy or they will react to each other and deteriorate. Love watching this build can’t wait to see you at the monster Jam next yr 🤞

Hi kev
Know you just got to build a rc replica of you monster truck 🤟🤟🤟
Can you race that “v2 vid” guy and beat him please!!! He’s super nice but someone got to beat him! He’s really good! I think your up for the job!!!
will never be as good as monster max
you know so much about rc cars to the point were it translates into actual monster trucks. very impressive
The fact that you’re doing all of this without all those machines just makes this even cooler and more impressive. Can’t wait to see this thing running and driving.
Kev is a machine
Same
What machines?
What machines🤣🤣
But like for real though
Say what you want about Mr. Talbot, but the man knows how to weld.
Didn't he do it professionally before UA-cam?
Yeah he used to be a welder as a job
Just saying those welds are really nice. I've seen lots of trained professionals who do MUCH worse.
yea those welds are clean
@@Flunkyjunkyfloyd123 wut
Can we just take a second to talk about how good Kevin's welds are?! His fabrication skills are also on point! Good job Mr Talbot!
I was just thinking the same thing! I'm a bit jealous actually.
I think he once said that he worked as a welder.
Im pretty sure he said he was a welder back in his 9-5 days
100% impressed
Mig welding is gravy. You don’t even need to weave a pattern to get a pretty bead. 😂
Nice to see that this thing isn't just a frame sitting in the corner anymore! this things gonna be sick
Also regarding the seat, once you get the fire suit, THEN adjust the seat. Fire suits are thick. So it will probably add 1-3 more inches of thickness.
i have it, just gotta put it on!! but the shoulders are way out! i think even 4 years of gym i still wont fit!!
@@KevinTalbotTV doesn’t matter. You could bruise a bone if the sides are to tight. Like I said. Put the fire suit on, and get v2vids or swamp thing to sight for ya

Agreed. Never thought I would be interested in monster truck videos but Kev's enthusiasm is so contagious.
A lot of work! Easier on a model - but respect for those wanting to work on the full size things 😊
Bro u r a “absolutely epic" welder because ur weldings look like “ABSOLUTELY EPIC"👍🏻👍🏻😄🤯 and u r master at making mounts
@@JoeBaR-202 bro just using the word ABSOLUTELY EPIC 🤣🤣🤣 but his welds r quite good
And he knows to make mounts
When this thing is finished it’s going to be absolutely epic!!!
😂😂😂
Send it!
To the moon!!!
Yea!
Hope he breaks some world record like highest jump
Pretty impressed with Kev's welds compared to his hot glue jobs 🤣
lol, I am with you one that one.
Your scallops are EPIC !!
MEANING YOUR WELDS ARE ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!
I have been a steel fabricator for 18 years. I am impressed kevin. Not to hot not to cold not to fast not to slow. Nice work. I will be routing for you big man. Much respect.
Forging the one monster truck to rule them all, the music makes these build montages just epic.
You know what I'm happy about?
Your education and 9 to 5 job experience, REALLY helps out I bet! 💪😁👍
Build it Kev!
Can't help but wonder what will snap first... stock items, or the ones you touched... What do you think!?
I don't know if you'll spot my comment but, 👍👍
Amazing. I never thought I'd get to see the build of a monster truck from scratch, this is really neat. Thanks Kev!
Yes
Was NOT expecting those gorgeous welds!! Bravo!
Dont forget to make scale body pins and clips to match the rc's 😂😂
Was gonna say that ahahaa
Amazing 👍👍👍
Kevin is so underrated! He deserves 10m subs
i wish!!
One day
Ya he needs 10m subs
Fax
This monster truck just might get him there..
Your cutting and welding bits of metal that probably hundreds if not thousands. You have more guts than I do.. I'd be panicking because one false move could be very costly.. well done kev I admire your enthusiasm x

Keep up the awesome work Kevin. Love watching your videos. You should be proud of all the things you’ve achieved. Massive respect and it’s awesome that you’re English :)
Building rc cars really helped Kev build this beast.
I've never been so excited for a video!
Good to see another video of the trucks progress, get yourself a pillar drill and sliding vice, will make your life so much easier
Not as easy as it seems, well done Kev. 👍 Going to be something special when finished

Slowly but surely getting there, seems like these loads to do!
kevin knows so much more than we all thought and he proved it on this video with his expertise
