Have you ever thought of building an RC from known good parts, be they RC manufacturer or aftermarket to see if it’s cheaper to build it right from the get go?
Awesome stuff Kev 😱. The time we spent testing the M2C HDP payed off 😍. No more busted bell cranks!!! The 8s Backflips with +15mm hexes are absolutely perfect on her. Killer upload Brother 🍻
That 3D printed wing mount was printed in the wrong orientation. It should have been printed vertically so it won't rely on the layers to hold it together.
Bought 2 Traxxas Slash 4x4vxl’s about 6 months ago as a start to the hobby for my son and I. Paid $425 each for them. With normal usage (ZERO huge jumps or skate parks ) I’m into both cars nearly $500 IN PARTS. Replaced everything on both cars except the speed controllers and servos. Not a cheap hobby. Just the other day I was pondering with a coworker wether or not if guys who buy a $1000 RC like this come out better OR did they buy a 1000 car & still wind up replacing everything like I did? Having 2 of them means every time we have a failure I go ahead and buy the upgrade for both cars. Adds up quick I tell you. Love your content Kevin 👋🏼
super late lol but. I have had my max for 6 months doing huge jumps skateparks beaches etc. a-arms drive shafts is the only thing I have to replace. Well the esc aswell but everyone swaps those because the maxx ones are trashy
This vid looks sooo sick like every time 🔥🔥💪💪. I watch many videos from your channel and it's sooo fun😁😁🔥. I want to ride an RC car for sooo long but it's soo expensive for a good one🙃. KEEP GOING WITH YOUR CHANNEL!!🔥🔥
KT, for tyres I ended up using MadMax 5ive-T beadlock mini pins, (stick 5ive-T tyres will work as well), w/duct tape on the inside. A bit smaller, but no ballooning or de-gluing. Also went with a Reefs 1/5 scale servo, which did require some chassis mods, but well worth it.
Veryy nicceee video! :D. But what is the background music named at: 3:48 and 4:55 and at 8:02? I want that music for my video's two :D. The car and the upgrades are also insane (but expensive😅)!!!
WOW!! AWESOME bash ! I cant believe you landed some of those!! What a fun day!! Thanks for punishing the parts! M2CHDP for the win!! Wingmount in testing now, chassis brace in design phase. Coming soon!
Pay $1000, limited to upgrades in chassis, it is like a cheap hotel 0 ball room. The pin hinges on arms pop out/bend, tires blow up, drivetrain rips apart completely(hw ESC installed).... I sent it back for a full refund. $1000 usd and the thing is garbage. Engine back came off.... WORST RC EVER FOR THE $, JUST LIKE XMAXX. Made for the little man copping with small man syndrome. Words of wisdom, Traxxas is excellent 3s down, I own 4. Anything bigger go else where or have deep pockets. All the extra things Kevin does are necessary for longevity/durability of a Traxxas 6s+, after spending the $1000 dollars on the rig. Your at 2k easily for batteries and charger, tires, new electronics (cause Traxxas electronics belong in a dumpster past 3s) and than all the extra money to buy parts to even fit the new electronics. It's a nice way to say "welcome to the family, your gonna have to buy your way out."
Hey Kevin watched you used scooter wheels before have you ever thought about roller derby wheels probably about the same size as some rc car wheels only stronger may I suggest rollline gladiator
Can you please do a video on the new arrma kraton 4s i was gonna get the kraton 6s but I think the 4s version would be stronger because of the plastic chassis so I’m not sure which one to get
Hi Kevin, would you be able to recommend a great 1/10th scale (or close to 1/10th scale) rc basher that isn't too expensive and great for a beginner? I had a wltoys 14401 that was about $150 AUD (I'm Australian btw) and it broke within the first 15 minutes of use despite me not even bashing it. when I had checked what broke it turned out to be a drive shaft because of how thin they are. I don't expect you to answer me but I hope you do as I would like to re enter the rc car world.
hey kev I'm such a huge fan and I had a couple of cars in mind that I think you would like, the first is the ftx ravine 1:10th scale crawler and the last one is the 1:7th scale ftx supaforza gt Street car
Have you noticed the elastomer wearing out quickly? I’ve been installing GPM aluminum Cush housings and find they work a lot better. GPM also make a mod 1.5 pinion and spur for the Xmaxx stock system and so far I’ve found them to be excellent, planning on doing the same for the xrt
I'm trying to decide between the XRT and the X-Maxx for my kid. I've *heard* that the X-Maxx is better if you just want to bash it around. is that your experience?
Hey Kev, you should totally get a losi mini b, same parts as the mini t but its more of a faster/one you can upgrade more. Its pretty cheap too. Anyways keep up the great work!
the rear wing mount problem looks like itll never end .where it is connected is too close, further in would make more sense design wise two bolt positions would make a big difference, but it looks like its designed to break easily tut tut traxxas
Mr. Talbot, what is your professional opionion on the fun factor and durability of the XRT? Is it in fact a buggy version of the XMAXX? Preliminary videos from ones I trust, like you, show it is not as great as billed to be, Please reply. Thank you for your great, unbiased vids!
Who else watched this on rumble the day before??
Not me
What?
Nope
uhh no
No. And why would you look at it twice?
I just love watching these videos. Great to see all your mates loving life. Stay young guys!!!!
Have you ever thought of building an RC from known good parts, be they RC manufacturer or aftermarket to see if it’s cheaper to build it right from the get go?
I'd love to see your annual parts invoice assuming you pay for everything you use
He's sponsored
6:16 you have a whole list 🤣
NICE upgrades On the XRT Kevin...I always enjoy watching your videos Kevin..Thanks again man
Blows my mind how tough RC cars have gotten!
Because of your channel I'm reliving my childhood
Armma everything’ is better !!! Those Traxxas tires nooooo good as always !.

Close to 2m kev!!
Nice!
Man, you are so entertaining, your videos makes me smile ! I'm actually getting back in the hobby !
Awesome stuff Kev 😱. The time we spent testing the M2C HDP payed off 😍. No more busted bell cranks!!! The 8s Backflips with +15mm hexes are absolutely perfect on her. Killer upload Brother 🍻
I have been watching your channel and got me into r c cars
That 3D printed wing mount was printed in the wrong orientation. It should have been printed vertically so it won't rely on the layers to hold it together.
These Are my favorite video's - take a car or truck thats broken, upgrade it and go race or Bash 💪👍🇩🇰
Another day another good vid

You guys are hilarious doing all the stuff the rest of us regulars wish we could do.
Man Kev, I absolutely love your content! Please, please, please.. give us more love on the XRT it’s such a good platform!
Proper muppet laugh that was 🤣
These type of videos are the best, Kev.
I love em. My wallet, not so much.
This vid looks sooo sick like every time 🔥🔥💪💪. I watch many videos from your channel and it's sooo fun😁😁🔥. I want to ride an RC car for sooo long but it's soo expensive for a good one🙃. KEEP GOING WITH YOUR CHANNEL!!🔥🔥
Kev is the part number for the steel pinion TRX6481X
Nice Video Kev! also good luck vs Tomley, can't wait for that video!
I love how you make your videos they always find ways to make my day and make me laugh thanks for all your hard work kev
Awesome video Kevin Talbot you are awesome from the United States bro
hmmmm
KT, for tyres I ended up using MadMax 5ive-T beadlock mini pins, (stick 5ive-T tyres will work as well), w/duct tape on the inside. A bit smaller, but no ballooning or de-gluing. Also went with a Reefs 1/5 scale servo, which did require some chassis mods, but well worth it.
I love these bash videos. Makes me want to go out with my cars!
Been waiting on this video!!!!
What a awsome video Kevin, the parts makes the car holding up bigtime❤️❤️
Love the videos much love from the US🤙🏾
the hole inte bottom is for airflow so the servo doesnt overheat
And for little rocks so they dont get stuck between the steering assembly
Looks Like we have some Mark Rober music going in👀👍
The vents on the bottom are for venting the servo, the Traxxas ones are very weak and crap out easily.
For £1200 I would never expect to have to upgrade it. Is crazy to me
Yeah my Kraton 6s is half the price and I can bash it as hard as I want and it won’t break with out upgrading it
@@henrywood5462 exactly why it’s better
I mean most probably wouldn't, look at the abuse it's been given
You don’t have to upgrade, I want to
@@KevinTalbotTV I mean if you want it to be a weak £1200 car then sure you can leave it as it is
Max gives zero shits! Kev 2.0 🤣
Veryy nicceee video! :D. But what is the background music named at: 3:48 and 4:55 and at 8:02? I want that music for my video's two :D. The car and the upgrades are also insane (but expensive😅)!!!
The $1k price tag makes this video even better.
M2C for the win again!!! You just can't beat ole mitch's parts! Every part I've ever got from M2C has been amazing!!!
Loving the edit on this video
Max”that’s skill” Smash “ that car was in the way lol love it
WOW!! AWESOME bash ! I cant believe you landed some of those!! What a fun day!! Thanks for punishing the parts! M2CHDP for the win!! Wingmount in testing now, chassis brace in design phase. Coming soon!
Kevin your at 1.98m subscribers you have came a long ways man keep up all the great videos
Love from Sri Lanka ❤️🔥😇🇱🇰

Great video as always Kev.
Can you please do a review on the ftx outlaw ultra 4??? 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I love watching your videos
Nice modifications for extreme bushing 👍😂
That was a good Wip that you gave it
Great video Kev! 😄
Kev , I"d love to see you build an RC that would be Kevin Talbot approved! Truly would be epic to see you design something that could hit the market.
It would be sick if you had your own piece of land! You could build some awesome jumps, track, crawler course etc!😊
love it kev, keep up the good work!
The front and rear upper bulkheads are a weak point as well. I had to replace mine after 4 battery packs.
Wasn’t happy about that.
Love the channel, great upgrades with some awesome M2C products!!!
Looks like a very impressive truck. Nice mods
Could you make a jumper thats really good at jumping and better at landing with like quadcopter parts. It don't have to fly just cushion the landing
Hey Kevin watched you used scooter wheels before have you ever thought about roller derby wheels probably about the same size as some rc car wheels only stronger may I suggest rollline gladiator
I been thinking about getting one they look pretty good I love my Xmaxx
Awesome video Kev, 😁👍🏿
Kev what do you like better an XRT or an X MAXX? Whick one would you buy first if you had to chose between the two?
Fyi perfect pass servo is programmable. Rebrand AGF servo.
When did u get another savage xl? I see a original 5.9 with the Terra pin tires and the blue body, next to the octane under the desk
Eeessh, 3:07 when the camera pans to the front... those diagonal cutters did some damage!😅
Xmaxx’s still the king ✌🏼
For sure indeed
The XRT is a masterpiece by Traxxas and it will be my next RC car that I get
Can you please do a video on the new arrma kraton 4s i was gonna get the kraton 6s but I think the 4s version would be stronger because of the plastic chassis so I’m not sure which one to get
Video soon
Uhh these plastic chassis were a major weak spot when i had my 3s typhon.
Make a vid about the new rustler vxl 2wd please
What was that red elcamino with the blower sticking out of the hood in the wagon????

hey kev I'm such a huge fan and I had a couple of cars in mind that I think you would like, the first is the ftx ravine 1:10th scale crawler and the last one is the 1:7th scale ftx supaforza gt Street car
Watched now, brilliant. Lol... mission impossible. Ha
My favorite part is how you did all those upgrades and didn’t get a single mph gain. That had to hurt just a little.
You previously used XT90 connectors. Why did you switch?
Have you noticed the elastomer wearing out quickly? I’ve been installing GPM aluminum Cush housings and find they work a lot better. GPM also make a mod 1.5 pinion and spur for the Xmaxx stock system and so far I’ve found them to be excellent, planning on doing the same for the xrt
Play around with steering gyros and motocross tracks. You'll have a lot more fun with the bigger trucks.
Hi big fan love the content
Broke the pinion gear on the second run after unboxing. Shopping for parts as I'm typing this.
Have you seen the Beetle body for the xmaxx by basherbodies? I know you love the Beetle and I think that would be the perfect body for you.
I like the heavy bash results because the average user will never break these parts. But if you do go full send, Kev shows what to upgrade and how
What kind of pinion and spur do you use Kev? Mine do strip a lot!
Do you have the links for Spurr and pinion gear you used?
I'm trying to decide between the XRT and the X-Maxx for my kid. I've *heard* that the X-Maxx is better if you just want to bash it around. is that your experience?
Hey Kev, you should totally get a losi mini b, same parts as the mini t but its more of a faster/one you can upgrade more. Its pretty cheap too. Anyways keep up the great work!
Nicely explained and entertaining bro
Was going to start with the M2C drive cup braces upgrade except it’s $100 for shipping to Australia what a joke. Any recommendations?
Looks like a great time with all your friends in the park there Kev. Looks like there are one or two things to iron out with the design of the XRT.
Where are your driver bits from that you use on your guns?
Cranky mate, belted tires 😊
Mini max for the durability win 😂
the rear wing mount problem looks like itll never end .where it is connected is too close, further in would make more sense design wise two bolt positions would make a big difference, but it looks like its designed to break easily tut tut traxxas
Im really considering an XRT because of you now Kevin... thanks 😂. Id like to see more videos of it. 👌
Hey Kevin what do you use for a camera?
I think you should make a video about the RLAARLO car because I got it and I think it is good and I want to see your opinion on it.
Very nice bro keep it up
at 3:31 did anyone notice the mark rober music?
8
I just got this video and it is 3:30 am in Canada
Mr. Talbot, what is your professional opionion on the fun factor and durability of the XRT? Is it in fact a buggy version of the XMAXX? Preliminary videos from ones I trust, like you, show it is not as great as billed to be, Please reply. Thank you for your great, unbiased vids!
Hello and thanks for reaching out. To answer your question
Hey Kev can you do a video about the Arrma Typhon 3s
