You have gotten me back in to rc cars I went and bought some small tool's and I'm ordering me a arrma granite today can't wait to start playing
Same , got me back into it, i'm going to order some tools and get my arrma outcast fixed up again.
Great choice. I have the V3 Granite BLX. I've beat the crap out of it and so far NOTHING has broken. Except for the tethers that hold the body clips 🤣
Good choice. Loved my Granite. Thing took a pounding
I just got into RCA’s cars I got a FTC-5529
Try arrma typhon it good i got it myself
"It's my toy, and I can do what I want with it" Best part of the video IMO!! Awesome attitude!! Keep up the great work!
Kev you are so inspiring and I wish people now a days wanted a rc car not the latest Xbox you are one word EPIC
Nothing wrong with a new Xbox or ps5 and RC cars gagaha
Well i wanted a xbox game but i got a veryyy nice to nice E REVO 2.0 and i am so happy that i got it.
You are right
My dream car is my profile car
And I love your videos keep making the best videos for us it’s so interesting have good luck
Last year I bought a Kraton 6s as my first rc car ever. And this year, I've just ordered myself an Xmaxx and I couldn't be more excited about it!
Love the vid and can't wait for the monster truck the LEGENDARY RED will look stunning on anything
Quick tip for yall. Seen where kev had a screw round out. If yall have one round out, get a torx bit the same size. The points usually give a bit of grip n will back the screw out. Always worth a try before attempting to drill it out
i forgot about that trick!
OR try getting the proper tool for the job the 1st time around
@@KevinTalbotTVDon't do it just get correct tool for the job instead of having a stripped screw PLUS a ruined torx from it slipping inside fastener
2:53 was the greatest segment of all time🤣
haha
The new body looks sick!! Thanks for playing a part I getting me into R/Cs, and for introducing me to all these awesome budget R/Cs! My first and current RC is my modified WLTOYS 144001, it has a Hobbywing 1060 brushed ESC (works great), a drop in metal gear 3 wire servo, and a DumboRC X6 radio and receiver. I'm still running the stock 550 brushed motor, when it wears out I'm probably going brushless!
Nice 👍 I like your X-Maxx bashes on the skatepark 😀
started back in the hobby about 2 months ago, got my +10 years old slash back, bought a UDR, a Maxx and bought a X-MAXX about 2 weeks ago ..... getting hooked
i am really looking forward to the monster truck build
I am also a massive fan and i love your content
This is the perfect video during my morning coffee before I tear into my X-Maxx. God knows how many parts I am ordering today! "It's just a toy and do with it what I please." Is my new favorite quote. My RC addiction is all your fault Kevin, respect. 😁
Lost my words....
One of the best vids ever!!!
I love it when u cut in a vlog (catnib part) or something like that.
Continue doing that!!!!!❤️
New body looks sick! I hope to get an xmaxx one day
I remember when your channel was 200k subscribers :)
Lets get him to a million!!!
I remember when he didn’t have a beard or mustache..
Thanks for convincing me to get a xmaxx. Every time I take it out I'm impressed by the durability and capability of it. Perfect basher is right!
Man xmaxx is such a tank, can't go wrong in getting one!!
Fell into a rabbit hole and came upon this channel..... I love it... haha my 13yr old daughter is getting one.... oh happy days
LOVE the idea of a new house and RC tracks!!
My friends raised enough money for my dream truck. traxxas x max 8s 1/5 scale. I became obsessed with it watching it on your channel in 2018. We has a go fund me page and now I can order one tow. From Nova Scotia. My name is Joshua.
If it jams, force it, if it breaks, it needed replacing anyways. - Lesson from my dad
Kev I really enjoy your enthusiasm for the sport gets me excited to rip and I absorb as much as I can watching you bashing and repair 👨🏻🔧
Guys let’s get Kev to 1,000,000!!!!!!! (EDIT) please do more blogs with the Land Rover
Kev!!!!! You gotta make your monster truck the bigger version of this!!!!! Think that would b epic!!!!! And definitely stand out!!!
Was that catnip, the plants that make the cats go crazy, kinda drug for them.
yeah
Them going crazy depends on if they eat it or sniff catnip dust. And yes, it is a drug for them :)
It doesnt always make them go crazy, its actually more of a psychedelic to them, so them "going crazy" may be them having a bad trip 😂😂
Every time I rebuild a car its 2 min of drooling over how good it came out then off to tear it up again. Good stuff . Rip, Rebuild, Repeat!
CAN'T WAIT FOR THE 1 MILL!!
Ye me to omg
WE MADE IT!!!
@@kdog2816 ikr!!!!!
@@kdog2816 ikr!!!
Fee rc car off road
i like your non ocd attitude. hoping i get a little more lightened up about dirty rc etc after a few years of bashing
Put a mamba xlx2 on it and give it '' hell'' 😂😂😂
I am a PROUD member of the xmaxx team!! Love it!!!!
Kev I love your videos and they always make my day. Thank you for your fun filled videos. I always look forward to them every day!
True
Who would dislike his vids also. They are awesome
Y dont no
"It's just a toy".... I love you man, your cool.
“I don’t care . It’s my toy and I can do with it what I want”. Lmao 😂 ❤️ it.
Mr Talbot .I am quite flabbergasted that you didn't break anything in the snow.proud of ya.
You should review the losi super rock rey, it seem really good
Been out of rc for almost ten years. Your videos and quarantine got me back into it. I just bought a kraton 6s and an xmaxx👍👍👍. Been out in the snow but really looking forward to spring to give them a proper bashing!
Headlines be like: RC guy builds monster truck in basement and wins the monster jam
😅😅😅😅😅😂😂
The Raptor body looks EPIC!!!!
The poor car has had more bangs than Katie Price!
Haha
Lol
Seronok tengok kamu ni hisssss belasah betul2 ikut hati.......tempat pun best sini kurang sat nk buat bg ramai bru meriah
Kev is gonna have to do a video of him shopping for houses
Rebuilt XMAXX in the snow, monster truck, Talbot compound, and a tiny hammer 🔨
Absolutely Epic
Dude... SO shared this on twitter, favorited it, liked it, and now commenting. This video is FCUKING EPIC dude!!!!
And so it begins, going down the rabbit hole. I was you last year and now I own a Traxxis Maxx (what he referred to as the mini-Maxx). While sure, I'd love an X-Maxx, the normal Maxx was much easier to pay for. Its a blast to have and thrash around with. My son loves to drive it too. Its been a good bonding item for us to spend time together around.
I haven't used any ARMA cars, but Traxxis makes some good RC cars.

@@GiulianoMazzina and did you see my newest video with the X-Maxx?!
@@GiulianoMazzina I agree
I love you so much and your video
I don't know why but I love to watch you work on your Xmaxx! Thanks Kevin
I’m pretty sure Kev could build a entire rc car with the parts he’s broken
That’s actually a good video idea
Maybe something completely original
Yep….that would be one big pos..
Never been a fan of Traxxas, but the more I watch your xmaxx videos, the more it makes me want one. They seem to take one hell of a beating.
Might have to invest in getting myself one to take out for a rip!!
awesome body, xmaxx is a beast
We have lots of land and houses with land out here in Texas USA Kev, plenty of space and cheap! Come across the pond!
me: this is a cool video
Kev: smashes it with a hammer
me: I'm done I cant watch this anymore.
really cool vid.
You got me into rc cars, and now i buyed the rustler 4x4 (1 year ago)
0:14 Let's be honest here... the diff didn't come out cause the rear bulkhead exploded. It came out cause you kept abusing the car _after_ the rear bulkhead exploded.
14:48 the xmaxx body looks like orange, awesome video
The red do be lookin fresh. Also NOTICE MEEEE
For stripped screws use a rubber band. Place the rubber band at the top of the screen then use your drill to remove.
“When in doubt give it a clout” that is the saying i will use everyday for the rest of my life
The color is gorgeous!
You have no idea how fast I clicked😂
Same lol
Awesome body choice for the monster truck Kevin. My first vehicle was a 1968 Chevy C10 stepside, the X Max definitely looks epic. I can't wait to see the monster truck finished.
3:41 ahaha that sounded like a Nitro car😂
Those new lipos from Bangood are bigger than my love for this channel.
9:28
that's what she said!
🤣🤣Lol
Add the aluminum plates between the bulk and skidplates and the bulks are going to last 10X longer. Also start using tekno rc pinions with the softer blue loctite and just be done with the pinion struggles everyone! Great vid KEV!😍😍😍☝🏽
Why didn’t you clean the stocks my guy come on it will look amazing
My blue shocks look just like those. It’s a pretty expensive part to replace just because some of the paint is coming off
@@dean-does-stuff-81 ok sorry but it looks so cool dam
@@joeoetker5393 ya I gess well I’m so sos o sorry
@@joeoetker5393 but Kevin is so so amazing and inspiring
Just a small tip kev. If you use a star hex key it gets more bite in the rounded allen bit hole. . Works a treat . Then if in doubt get the dril bit out. Hope this tip was handy.
Imagine not liking this comment
Lol
I just bought my first xmaxx late last year and the only reason I got it is your videos and I gotta say it's super helpful seeing it being rebuilt. I think I'm gonna get one of those raptor bodies and paint it a nice bright purple
Big fans from indonesia is back 😁🇮🇩🇮🇩
My dream rc car😍
I loved the part about the dirty shock oil refill. “It is my toy” Bravo!
Studlock is by far the best for pinions, people always tell me it's wrong to use it but it's the only thing that works for me.
Never had a problem since I started using it, even with insanely geared cars.
Thoroughly enjoyed the bashing without the music, really gives a feel for how its handling hearing the tyres slap and rumble as well as the wheelspin
Without even seeing this rebuild run, I'm feeling bad for it. I absolutely know you want to test out these new parts. Poor XMAXX. But I know you're loving on it now. I'll say this, you're very good at rebuilding trucks, but it's a ;ot of work to fix it, but you seem to have as much fun rebuilding it, as you do bashing it. I can't wait to see your Monster Truck up and running. I bet you don't take that one to the Moon. lol Just so your sponsors know, I got the XMAXX because of your channel. I love it when you say it's your favorite RC truck. You know more about the RC world than anyone else. Try using 3M 90 spray glue on the drywall tap sometime. It's holding up on my RCs in the snow. It's mush faster than smearing Shoe Glue on it. I love the Red. XMAXX is back, better than new! Lets get to it.
i had exactly same issue with piston on my trx-4 . altough the piston is much much MUCH smaller :D , there was absolutely no visible damage to the small plastic piston, but it was going super hard inside cylinder. what i did i just take a very fine sandpapier, and did just few strokes around with it over it, and it magically solved the issue.
Good luck with your monster car dream! You can start choosing a name for it - KEV Smasher or Talbotron)))
Nice, you push yours beyond what I am ready to do! I put a FPV cam on one of my replacement tops. Its pretty fun to see it from the "drivers view". I like the shoe glue idea and will have to do that.
Finally got my xmaxx because of you. You're my favorite you tuber
You are my all time favorite UA-camr and in my opinion the best on UA-cam.
This videos so wild its awesome lol catnip, monster trucks, Lamborghinis, and rc cars!
I've had my xmaxx for 2 months, and I wish I had it from the beginning of my rc hobby so awesome seeing the huge truck fly thru the air doing stunts
hello friends ... we are from indonesia🇮🇩. We really like videos from your UA-cam channel chann we watch Kevin Talbot videos every day. thanks for entertaining us❤️😘
That truck be looking good AF
Hey Kevin I am happy to see you are testing my kit properly 😁🤘💪 thank you again for testing it. That red body looks amazing 😍
One of the best mods for the xmaxx dude, i love it!!
I’d love to see how you clean them up after bashing them in the snow. Drying them off and lubricating them.
Yeah same here, if i go out with my x maxx for some snow bashing fun i always dry it with my heatgun first. Then i start to blow any rest water of with my blower tool and then start to spray on any screw with WD40. So far it works pretty well for me and can't complaine about anything.
Just picked up a xmaxx last week and a erevo today, keep the awesome content coming.
Battery cable disconnection is simple fix I run a piece of velcro around the battery cables and the xmaxx chassis bars over batteries and it keeps them from slamming around a coming disconnected!!
Kev I am 14 years old and I have wanted an rc car since I started to watch your videos but they are very expensive keep on with your cool videos I am from the United States
You are a man of all talents monster truck rc cars and world records
try wrapping your set screw with Teflon tape. it works for me and you don't have to use lock tight, and you could try getting a longer set screw instead of those 1/8th inch screws, you could get a quarter inch one. (if the threads are available that is)
This guy's got a whole hobby shop I can't believe it. I want to get back into it. I still have my collection from my younger years, late 80's Tamiya's but I don't want to bash them up. Maybe I'll start with this one it seems like a real monster
Don't think using old oil in the shocks make it road legal again. ;) "It's my rc, I do what I want with it!" That is very true, and we have a lot of fun watching the videos. Keep em coming Kev! Having a blast watching it. And learning stuff too.
I really like the roof bars idea.
Kevin you are actually super inspiring I bought a rc and was having fun but then it broke and I wanted to redo everything but had to watch a couple of your videos now I have a fully customized rc rally truck thanks to you
Drifting the UDR in that snow would be EPIC
Hooooly shit that shock oil is nasty. It's a small miracle that those shocks don't leak until they're empty within 2 minutes, those o-rings are incredible.
Kev, you need more content,you are not doing enough. : )
"its a toy " and " i am not sitting in it"
This is why this is proabably the best RC channel around
Awesome Kev! I just got my XMaxx a week and a half ago. I need to do the shoe goo/drywall tape. It really does look like it makes the bodies more solid.
Good to see the beast back in action again
More of that chill music in the end please 😁!
You should use the other RPM body screw protectors on the front and buy the back rollbar they help also
Hey Kevin! That was a Great X Maxx rebuilding video and all the insight of what was done and upgrades on that Beast! I love the new body it's Killer the red is all you! I picked up a couple of sets of those RPM roof skid bar kit and put them on my UDR's Fox 🦊 bodies and turned out Great to! Keep up the great content and videos! Can't wait to start seeing the Monster truck parts start rolling in to! 🤔😉👍📹
Great build Kevin. I agree the Xmaxx is probably the best R/C truck available. With a few key upgrades of coarse.
