Well you can but LED Light Kit for any Traxxas model! They are really nice proportional Taillights everytime u break taillights light up! And front lights have multiple setting dims bright and day light cycle i believe so.....
A lot of the top-end competition kits don't come with lights or anything else other than the parts to build a rolling chassis for that matter. When I got my TLR 8ight 2.0 Race Roller I had to put my own engine, servos, receiver and receiver battery in it since it didn't come with any of those. Of course, I wouldn't consider anything from Traxxas to be even remotely competition grade aside from some of their older nitro models (particularly the JATO) and the "platinum" series rollers.
Kevin: so I added 6 new motors 3 different batteries filled the tires with foam changed the transmitter added some new suspensions a new body that I painted myself and added 15 litres of oil to the traxas but it is mostly stock Me: are you sure about that kev
@@dominicw8868 Yes it is. Sarcasm in itself is being as extra as you can be so its obvious that its a joke. lol to brain dead people who think every persons sense of humor is the same.
Wow, the fact that you are running most of the same obstacles for your large crawlers is really a testament to shoe how capable micro crawlers are. Love your videos btw
I honestly like the way you don’t bash small companies about their cheap made rc cars and you actually give an honest opinion instead of just saying it’s trash. Not everyone like some of us can afford to buy big nice rc cars. Most people call it a pos it what if that pos was the only thing your mom could afford for Christmas? That’s honestly why I watch your videos, thanks man! I would also like to see your setup for the summit, I’m trying to set mine up for more speed, but don’t want to break it every time I drive it.
@@kayz980 i know im joking we drive rcs alot we have 7 cars we have 2 drift cars a xmaxx a stampede a latrax teton aka traxxas a crawler and my old truggy
Hey man. I apreciate you uploading this video. My brother used to race rc cars and was pretty good. My brother and i dont talk much anymore and this video made me miss him even more. I really wish hed come back around. Thanks for it man. 🤟
Thanks Kevin, been following your videos for nearly 2 years now, you got me back into RC! Thank you for your videos, keep up with the great work and remember: Haters=admirers 😁
I typically don't comment on videos but I watch every one of your videos going back years and years. I'm glad you use us dollar, mph and ft honestly. Your the best rc youtuber by far and I'd hate if everything was meters, kmh and brittish currency. Thanks for all the great content. I just bought my son his first rc car. A used rustler 2wd. Thank you Chad -Ohio, USA
Kev, Pat & RC Sparks have inspired me to get into the hobby, currently have a crawler project on order. Mostly from Banggood, downside is it'll take about a month for it to show up in the U.S.
I would almost argue that being afraid to hurt something like this kind of impacts the 'usefulness' of it. These kinds of things are for having fun with, and if you're worrying more about damaging it than you are about just having fun with it, I don't know if that's really worth it to me.
Maybe it’s not about having fun I’m not really sure but it kinda like classic car owners that don’t wana scratch their paint or go muddy because they enjoy and appreciate the build of the car then you get people like whistlingdiesel
Kev, you should get a pizza and actually cut it with pizza cutter tires, get 8s steve or one of your absurd rc cars and cut that pizza up! Just an Idea.
My partner bought me one similar and I’m going to try and make it into something better, already received some upgrade parts, what do you think my chances are Kev.? Great vid Kev mate 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️
Hi Kev. I'm really starting to feel the need to have a scale crawler in my life, lol. on your beloved banggood there's a few for around $200. my question to you is. Which of them is the best bang for my bucks? thanks mate
For anyone reading this, IMHO, save yourself money in the long run and get a quality kit, probably axial. Crawlers are THE most modified class of RC and for good reason. When you get your crawler all set up properly it will perform on a level no stock crawler could. Also, it's going to provide endless hours of fun without hardly ever breaking anything. I must have 30+ HOURS on my SCX10 crawler build since I last had a part break. Getting the drivetrain %100 metal was key. If you buy a cheaper brand/model I reckon you might struggle to reach a level of modification which is capable enough and strong enough to be a 'forever' crawler like you can build with the true hobby grade brands. If you are on a tight budget I recommend starting with a SCX24. For ~$200 you could buy an SCX24, steel beadlocks, and high quality crawler tires. With 'free' mods to the stock shocks (heavy grease, maybe lower ride height via spacers) You would have a fairly capable mini crawler that you will never want to get rid of; and that has the potential to evolve all the way into something competition worthy should you want.
I think the RGT was the best by far. But I do love a trx4 . But I think the element sendero is an amazing value for money crawler . I love mine , it could do with portal axles for sure. Love your indoor crawler courses I need that kinda space haha
Is it possible to make the cheap one proportional? If we stripped out the electronics and added our own motor on ESC servo and such. What if you did A Series making toys into cool hobby grade RC cars like you did with the monster jam trucks? I would love to see this keep it up Kev!👍
Hi I am looking for a crawler i dont care what kind but I do like the truck bodys and jeep bodys. I was just wondering if you have a cheap one you dont want anymore. If u do thx. If u dont that's alright I am just tight on money so I was just asking again thanks
Hey Kevin Talbot... just getting serious about RC Hobby... starting off with the Redcat racing Blackout XTE Pro... just wondering if you've ever done a video on best starter rc tool kit on a budget?... you are Awesome thanks for the great family friendly content
Kevin: I Have been an Rc enthusiast all my life, my first one was an Nikko Lobo and then the Lobo II. Anywho more recently I have been a nothing but nitro guy. Now I want to switch and I was wondering if you could recommend something. 1. Works well indoors and out 2. Customizable 3. Prefer a crawler or 4x4 that's RTR 4. UNDER $200 1/12 or larger. Ty for reading all this
I got one of these wltoys for my 6 year old, he loves it. I would prefer something more sophisticated but can't justify the price for a child. Is there any way to upgrade it? Maybe a good series to show complete upgrades to cheaper models
Got my wltoys 10431 for 45Euro (around 50$). Love it even when compared to stuff I use now this is nothing more than a toy. It was my entry to more hobby grade stuff and to a great hobby in general
All your videos are sick bro!! Funny cool and informative!!! Can’t you just feel difference though when u use the high end crawler vs cheeper ones!! I love my cheapies too!! Subbed
These videos are awesome. I have turned my notifications on and subbed and I liked the video too. For some reason I have a weird addiction to crawlers that bounce a bit like the $84 one. I should get that.
Another great video Kevin. Have you ever tried a ProTek servo? I recently installed the 370TBL in my X-Maxx 8s and I love it. Loads of torque, speed and its water proof.
I wish Venom didn't stop making the Creeper. Full competition 2.2" crawler kit for $130. Doesn't come with any running gear but crawler gear generally tends to be cheap regardless. Manual locking diffs with the option to upgrade to remote lock, full aluminum 4-link front and rear, mounts for a rear-steering upgrade and a solid high-torque transmission. Only downside was that the plastics were kinda cheap and fragile, but only to a point. I had mine fall off a 20 foot cliff on the Looking Glass trail and broke a C-hub, which isn't bad but an Axial AX10 would probably have survived that without a scratch. Only other issue is that the setscrews on the diff lockers like to back out. Still, apart from weird diamond in the rough vehicles like that, this video really shows how you tend to get what you pay for with RC, at least when comparing like to like. But at the same time the law of diminishing returns applies once you get past a few hundred.
Can you review the Redcat Racing crawlers? The Gen 8 has portal axles and is about $270. Might make a good comparison against the RGT. Wouldn't mind seeing the Gen 7 ones either. They start at $200.
Everything is dirt cheap compared to the Lambo under that cover
Bob Charles yes
JD Perfect no? It’s mine!
Honada crf yeaaa riteeeee
If you have a million dollars in your bank
Everything is dirt cheap compared the the cover on that Lambo.
Why does he sound like a less excited Colin Furze?
Shadowtyger Gaming BRO FR
Because he's british
its funny cause he sounds so excited its just that Colin furze is on another level. Colin furze is punk this guy is classical rock.
Uhhmmm racist?
@@ktraider100 if British was a race then being American would be a crime XD
1:11 When you realize the more expensive one has headlight stickers...
Well you can but LED Light Kit for any Traxxas model! They are really nice proportional Taillights everytime u break taillights light up! And front lights have multiple setting dims bright and day light cycle i believe so.....
Because he’s using a different body shell than the original
@@quabiloyoink yeah i figured

Never was a big Crawler fan, but 84$
would worth a try if it's good 🤷♂️
No man noo! That car has the exact same mechanics as my 20$ cheapo toy grade rc. There are better options
Dont buy this i think there are better ones but i dont like crawlers too✌️
I have one it is so good buy one it will make you happy
You can only go full speed or half speed the same with steering

Legend has it that he still doesn't want to harm this body
Immediately Clicked! Love you Kev!
Falco Joas love??
Felix Laing I love the way he entertains people
21:23 Kev accidentally scraped the body on the brick wall, look closely when the car bounced.
I came in here to see if anyone else noticed that!

Having a lambo in the background is surely the biggest flex🔥🔥🔥
4:28 your servo is more expensive than my car with remote lol😂😂
I'm not sure on the details, but I'm pretty sure this is the video that introduced me to you. Don't ever stop doing this.

Kev, you should get a pizza and actually cut it with pizza cutter tires, get 8s steve or one of your absurd rc cars and cut that pizza up! Just an Idea.
I would watch it
That is a very very very very very very good idea 💡
Please kev
Yes pls do
I agree that definitely has to be done!
WOW Kevin nice test! I really like the cheapest rock crawler! The WLtoys 104311!
“I really dont wanna harm this body” thats the reason why i stopped watching this video after 10 min
Talbot you're absolutely outstanding.
You get an instalike for this one.
Maker: what should we make
Designer: a rock crawler that can’t crawl rocks
I really know he appreciates everything bc you can see how much he focuses in something in he loves!
Next thing you know Kevin finds a crawler that can climb walls lmao 😂
One if those air hogs cars
I have one that drives up walls

I definitely passed on reviewing the wltoys crawler on my channel. Great reviewing as always Kev
ifyou dont want to damage a body on a test DONT USE IT!
Kevin : dirt cheap $84 rc rock crawler
Me : too expensive $84 rc rock crawler
you know the mans rich when he says $84 is dirt cheap
Loving your vids in quarantine
"most of his views are in the US"
I'm in chuffin Gamlingay down the road. 😂
Is it possible to make the cheap one proportional? If we stripped out the electronics and added our own motor on ESC servo and such. What if you did A Series making toys into cool hobby grade RC cars like you did with the monster jam trucks? I would love to see this keep it up Kev!👍
Yup with your own electronics you can turn any toy grade into a fully proportional one.
I feel like he didn’t make it clear enough if he doesn’t wanna hurt that body
“Subscribe and smash the Bell button because its Free.” 😂 this got me good.
Why did I just watch 23 minutes of a grow man playing with rc cars in his basement
its a workshop lol and because people can have a hobby if they want to

You always do so good on the montages
kev i think this is when your at your best ( ON YOUR OWN)
Coming back to this channel after 2 years
Which rc is the best for riding in desert and offroad
How does the RGT compare to the 2 remo hobby's? (1073 and 1093) and can you get spare parts and upgrades for these 3 cars?
I still remember that this was the first Kevin Talbot video I’ve seen
Love the videos brother keep it up South Philadelphia USA loves your videos I tell everybody about them
Hi kev keep the good videos coming mate. can I ask you a question? what,s the best truck shell to get for hpi bullet flux?
6:32 was not expecting that!
In ur opinion what is the best rock crawler to buy ?????
trx4
even a cheap RC could get a kid into the hobby. I remember having turn in reverse with a cord cars.
Surprised that there isn't many Australians watching
I was not a fan of crawlers but after watching your videos it looks like I wanna have one 👍
Another great video Kevin. Have you ever tried a ProTek servo? I recently installed the 370TBL in my X-Maxx 8s and I love it. Loads of torque, speed and its water proof.
I wish Venom didn't stop making the Creeper. Full competition 2.2" crawler kit for $130. Doesn't come with any running gear but crawler gear generally tends to be cheap regardless. Manual locking diffs with the option to upgrade to remote lock, full aluminum 4-link front and rear, mounts for a rear-steering upgrade and a solid high-torque transmission. Only downside was that the plastics were kinda cheap and fragile, but only to a point. I had mine fall off a 20 foot cliff on the Looking Glass trail and broke a C-hub, which isn't bad but an Axial AX10 would probably have survived that without a scratch. Only other issue is that the setscrews on the diff lockers like to back out.
Still, apart from weird diamond in the rough vehicles like that, this video really shows how you tend to get what you pay for with RC, at least when comparing like to like. But at the same time the law of diminishing returns applies once you get past a few hundred.
Hey, is the RGT crawler waterproof? Meaning could you drive it down a shallow water bank like you can with a TRX-4?
Can you review the Redcat Racing crawlers? The Gen 8 has portal axles and is about $270. Might make a good comparison against the RGT. Wouldn't mind seeing the Gen 7 ones either. They start at $200.
What do you do with the cheap rc’s when you are done
