I keep yelling BOOM at my broken RC car, but nothing happens, it's still broken. Kev, what am I doing wrong?
Don't try it on a broken marriage people just don't understand 😭😭 lol
Are you using a British accent?
Early gang. Hope everyone reading this is having an awesome day, and if not don't worry too much. Things will get better eventually.
Amen
Same for you
It’s going better now this morning sucked but now good
I wish the same to you buddy, let's relax with some hobby content from Kevin the magnificent
Thanks bro
Ken, you definitely bring out the 17 year old in me,now 57! IM A LATE 80’S HORNET, clod buster, black foot and egress lover. Been out of the fun for many years but your channel has inspired me to pick up an X-MAX just yesterday. WOW!!! Love your channel all the way from New Jersey USA. Love the life size E-MAX too in your shop. Keep ‘em coming.
I still have my frog..........I got it when I was 14..........now I'm 49.........my brother had a hornet and a black foot..........good times
Never in my life did I think I would ever see a grown man give another grown man a spanking with a blown out rc tire. But here we are. I'm glad I got to see it it was hilarious. Next April fool's day.....
You're Welcome...
Vinny needs to put a 4mm piece of fuel tubing on the shock rod for a bump stop. The kraton is notorious for popping the driveshafts on heavy compression. This will solve it.
Not only that, but have to adjust the droop screws or add them. I would do the droop screw first
Traxxas makes bump stops for the revo that'd be more durable than tubing.
I haven't had a problem with driveshafts popping out since I went to RPM control arms. I do, however, break shock stand offs with heavier shock oil, and I'd think a bump stop could cause a similar issue. IMO just get RPM arms.
Get an X max for me
its just Arrma bs their whole line up has problems one way or another.... its arrma junk. most say traxxas is overpriced but i think arrma is because your paying for garbage
My parents couldn’t afford to get me a big RC car but they made me the happiest kid when they got me a golden arrow 😃. It’s still working over 30 years later and survived me and my daughter and looking forward to seeing my granddaughter’s playing with it.
I learned the love of rc with the golden arrow too.
Pops had the red arrow.
Great memories.
Yes! I loved my Golden arrow also! I actually had to order a few sets of wheels & tire for mine... I wonder if those parts are still orderable?
I'm sure golfers still cringe when they see Kev ripping around the golf course. Bloody brilliant video, just great entertainment 👏
for real
I've always found it interesting how hating on another hobby is a part of, in some cases central to, another hobby. For example, I white water kayak - we hate anything in the water with a motor (as well as those riding in or operating them). We also hate golfers who take gigantic plots of nature and then ride motorized scooters about while drinking beer (I've always admired this, if I am to be honest). I've also been involved in competitive cycling. Road cyclists hate mountain bikers. Time trialists hate sprinters. Riders hate casuals and cars and scooters and pedestrians. Getting involved now in RC cars and I am quite sensitive to this dynamic where some are builders of aluminum and carbon fiber bits (something that cuts across most hobbies), others don't like the building and simply want to break stuff (Talbot), others want to achieve a singular performance goal (speed runs), others just want a zen-like chill session (drifters), and so on and so forth. We are all so different, but exactly the same at the end of the day.
Hate to say it.. but yeah, good point.
Golfers and skateboarders
@@wangcockdickspecker622 and rollerbladers
Saw a good trick where you put a bit of rubber tube over the bottom of shock shafts to stop the suspension being able to compress all the way, which should stop the drive shafts popping out. Something I'm going to try too as it can damage the outdrive cup when it happens. Just upgraded them on mine as it happened on the rear. nearly lost my m2c drive shaft
Vinnie,
"oh wait I think the batteries were just dead"
Don't do this to your rc car/boat/helicopter/etc...
Most of what Kev does, unless you got money growing in the backyard. 😁
Everyone should grow money in their yard.
From canada
Yes,i think so, don’t hit the transmitter
The worst part is I break parts all the time and don’t drive half as crazy as kev. I simply don’t understand how his xmaxx can take so much abuse specifically the control arms cause mine break after much less abuse
@@9rpoolarisguy sometimes it's better to drive a bit more aggressive because the car becomes more stable
@@joesmith4494 I'm trying, haven't found the proper seeds yet...
Beginning of video. Kevin: This is the word's best all around RC car. End of video. Also Kevin: broken xmax, broken xmax, broken xmax and another broken xmax. 😂
Looks like you had a blast. 😁 And don't worry, I'm a big fan of Traxxas! 👍
i really thought it was going in two like the other ones did XD
19:57 omg. I’m at work on lunch and now everyone is starring at me. I laughed so freaking hard. Absolutely love these videos.
The flapping at 19:27 seriously looks like some sort of catfight. Love it.
Kev please!!!!!! Get the red cat Rampage
AXI233021 Shock Bump Stop on the EXB could be THE solution. I have them on my 1:8 Kraton EXB below the shock boots to limit the overly generous uptravel of the suspension. Talion also has this problem. Would be nice if this could be tested in proper bashing.
That was a fun one! I’ve tried the hub extenders from M2C, youre gonna find you break more steering components from the leverages, or at least I did
Rebuild, play till destroyed, rebuild again. Repeat till you run out of parts. Absolutely love it.
Vinnie's DumboRC X6 transmitter most likely wasn't malfunctioning. I think it's just that the throttle trim wasn't properly set. It was fun watching all the effort it took to destroy it though. 😆
Kev, you can use just the inner race from an old bearing (the bearings for the diff actually work great) on your driveshaft cups to keep from breaking. They actually fit good enough they stay on without any glue or anything since the cup will spread slightly and become tight the the inner race. And with it on doesn’t get in the way of getting the driveshaft in or out.
I’ve had mine on for a while now and for a free mod, because we are have old bearings around, it’s great!
Amazing idea!
I've done a similar thing with some steel rings on my Kyosho that was eating driveshaft cups every month or two, had the same ones on for about a year now and they're still like new... great mod 👍
Never had to do this on the older models circa 2018/19 mine was solid
ko
The only part I seem to break on my Xmaxx is the front hub and hub carrier like you did. I’ve ordered the rpm front hubs and some rc 4wd aluminum hub carriers and will see how they hold up
The RPM front carriers are trash brother.... The Upgraded Traxxas HD ones are better
Hi Kevin. Instead of buying hingpins I like to use welding rods, cut to size and thread both ends to add nuts and washers.
ARC welding rods.
I did the same with some extra thick nails I got from the hardware store. My X-Maxx is NAILED together!
@@appye7994hard as nails nice tip thanks for sharing
Claire is a real team player. I wouldn't let Kevin spray gravel, dirt, water, etc on me on a regular basis. Big thumbs up to Claire for being such a sweetheart.
thats creapy just sayin
Managed to get to a nice bmx park with my new xmaxx recently and it’s by far the most fun rc I’ve had, it flies 10-15 feet so gracefully and just lands perfectly no damage it does not want to break. Happy bashing Kev🍻.
This was an action packed video for sure, Thank you and all involved!
Hey Kevin what gearing u running on the HW combo.thanks in advance and God bless
Hahaha, oh man. I haven't laughed so hard at one of these videos until the XMaxx went head on with the Nikko. My god, this is pure comedy
If diff problems persist shims work, or I've seen a upgraded set from vitivon rc that might be worth a try (Haven't tried them myself).
I wonder if I use a esc to control power to my servo so it use less power at fine then increase as I turn .
Best part of this video for me is the Lad enjoying the afternoon with his Dad, then the BASHIIN!
Hi Kev, I love your videos. Do you mind getting an FTX outlaw 4wd brushless motor and check if it is a good dirt cheap rc car or not. Thankyou.
I like that brushless converted Nikko. I'm currently converting an old Radio Shack Tsauro-X to use modern 12mm hexed wheels and adjustable ball link steering.
its nice to see the special ed class of '01 still get together and play!
“Does it still work?”
LMAO. Kev, you’re the absolute best!
Those kids are so lucky I have such good memories as a kid going to race meets. I used to love the Schumacher cats as a kid. 🥰
6:36 JUMPSCARE WARNING
I cant believe that actually got me when everywhere else jumpscares dont work on me
Literally the best youtube channel for rc nerds. Thanks kev for all that you do ! Couldn't tell you how much I've learend since I started watching your videos ! Much love from Canada !
Kev!
Where is the lc racing emb-tg?
The Strong 1/14 buggy. Wanting to buy one, and would like some review.
I’m building a 1/5 outcast EXB, but I’ve been sick for a week now and it’s really exhausting. Hopefully I’ll get over this sickness and be out bashing soon. 😢
Can confirm that this is a good vid to watch at 11:37 pm. Keep up the good work kev! 👍🏼
Yo kev I'm wondering if I buy the suzuki jimny rc car, do you think it's good or not
So Kev. Old RC'r and still have a MP7.5 with a .28 and fixed centre diff. Fun. Also have an original Half8 but want it brushless. Can this be done?
The problem with the Kraton is the droop screws. Have to either add some or adjust them to reduce the travel of the arms so nothing pops out 👍
Out🕷️
arrma just sucks man
These Traxxass X-Maxxes seem to be so good they should be converted and used in the military, fire brigades and so on. I don’t know if that’s the case but these seem like a cheap and reliably platform to build anything on it. I may be wrong tho. I love them anyways. Will get one if I can afford.
they are not cheap D;
It’s only reliable in its original state. As soon as you add weight to it, the parts break easier
Stomping the controller had a very “Office Space” vibe going on.
"The more you destoy, the more pieces you have to pick up." best quote ever.
This will go down as a CLASSIC! Radio stomping, Tire Ass Slapping,x-Maxx EXPLODING another RC.... DAMN!
You are welcome... like and subscribe!
Hey Kev,what gearing and motor kv?
what's a good upgrade should I get for my traxxas slash 2wd cuz write now it's all stock
It’s a good day when Kevin posts
Agreed
Indeed
Thank you for the laughs and smiles! Great Video.
Kev, If you would put out a full list of Xmaxx upgrades you would recommend that have worked the best for the Xmaxx. If you have that already could you point me to it, Thank you, Love it
M2C:
Now you can REALLY send it!
Kev:
Consider it sent.
19:34 "is it 2wd or a 4wd?"
-"it's a slapper drive!"
ha ha ha ha
Had the same thing happen to me as Martin, slash 2wd vxl 2s dumbo radio went berserk after about an hour and then suddenly disconnected from the receiver and it was programmed correctly in the right mode
Kevin i think that they should get rid of unbelted tyres because as soon as the tyres swell up the cars loose control. What's your opinion about this?
Hi bro
That is an EXB edition ARRMA Kraton. Made for EXtreme Bashing. I'm surprised Vinnie has so many problems with it. They look absolutely epic out of the box though.
my lhs guy and myself have the same issue, he uses a mojave, but for some reason lately our driveshafts pop out
Need to shave off 1 mm from the end of the arm to stop the shafts from coming out. Also adjust the droop screws although extreme bashing won't help.
Hey kev! loved the video and great content as always!! Sounds like the diff thats gone in my opinion.
Lol thx for giving the controls to the little kid kev. My leg still hurts lol 😂 luv ur vids man ❤️ catch ya later
That split shaft idea is great! Awesome vid again. Haha love the Boom Repairs
Hey Kevin can you do a review on the redcat epx I have one and I want to see what you think of it
Thank you Ian and Kev for the shout out on the drive cup sleeves 👍
What gear combo you using on that Xmaxx Kev? 1.5 mod?
You truly are the RC king love watching your videos you make them fun to watch every time best channel on UA-cam when it comes to RC hobby’s
I'm thinking of starting back in the hobby with one them Arrma sentons once get cash together, but seeing Vincent's more expensive Arrma 🤔 someone help me here is this a good choice for a start? Cheers lol
What a beatiful location and sunset. Simply awesome. And the way, the both xmaxx losing their bodyshells are funny. Kev, i am going to be a follower of your channel✌🏼
Can you lock the diffs in one of you xmaxx trucks? It would never get stuck and it would be like a super fast crawler.
Vinny is Mr. Super Patient. Kevin is such a pain. And that is why I love this channel. It gives me joy and entertainment.
great bit of bashing there guys 👊 enjoyed watching that 😂
the xmaxx driving right through Vinnie's Nikko was bloody hilarious 😆 🤣🤣
Light weight is the way to go! I have a rustler with rpm suspension parts and a 4000kv hobbywing system and it just keeps on running!
Hey Kev, thanks for all the entertainment. Love the vids. Are you running badlands on your Xmaxx? How do you like them? I desperately need better tires on my xmaxx. Thanks.
Stick with stock and drill about 4 holes evenly around tire to help them from blowing out. They are the lightest and seem to unfortunately be one of the best still
gotta love some good old bashes. even the music reminds me of all your videos. Really loved the vid, hadnt laughed so hard in a while😜
Hi kev how with all the times you go out bashing and racing with your friends how do you make sure that your x maxx radio controller isn’t on the same channel frequency as other x maxx’ s or other rc cars? Great vids btw just shows home much punishment these x maxx can take
Why bother to google?
Hey kev I was wondering if you have ever had a problem with the differentials on the mini maxx’s I broke the front so remove the drive shaft and now I broke the rear one. Has everyone had this I need to know…😭😭😭
Idk Kev, that was a lot of broken Xmaxxes, I only saw 1 Arrma that was having slight issues🤔😜
Fair point mate.... Of course many more X-Maxx being run
@@3SonsRC I know, I was just messing around being a smarta$$😅
Love your channel btw
9:24 Kev you got to say “in a bush in a bush😂
I did the RPM knuckle conversion and it's much better, and the inside bearings are larger.
I NEED HELP i have stock traxxas stampede 2wd it is bit slow what i need upgrade first?
Hey kev if you ever get the chance to film the suspension while a tire is blown out and you are FINISHING IT that would be cool to watch the rpm arms and everything flexin 💪
Kev can take apart an Xmaxx blindfolded..
Great skill
Such a brutal Hit. The fact it still drove after that.. wow!
Where did you get the gears for that motor?
😂😂👊🏻 Ian’s truck!! XMAXX tough baby!! Had a serious laugh through the whole vid!!
It's amazing how these people all consistently show up to spend time together. They must be the least-flaky eight people on earth.
Id like to see a pros and cons comparison vid to your ideal x maxx build
I wonder if you try out the traxxas widekit on your x maxx 😉.
I love IT!
My x maxx hast the same specs like his 😉
From the perspective of being raised by an adamant golfer, hit the sand trap launch the car just make sure you rake it when you're done
Watching Kevs videos always puts me in a good mood. 🤜🏻🤛🏻
5:04 that was the best trick I've seen with an RC
I would like you to check out the IMEX Big Bear 2 ....Looks like a great truck!!!!
That was some gnarly RC destruction - I feel bad for Ian's car 🤣🤣
at 10:50 --- the "Kevin's way" of changing the batteries...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
19:28 was anyone else thinking SLAP FIGHT? lol
I wince every time watching these, would love to see a cost of repair at the end of these bash sessions or in the description. great videos as always Mr Talbot thank you
If its not electronic it's dosint cost much at all he broke maybe 17 $ lol 😆
Lol, that was wayyyy more than $17. He broke the X-maxx’s chassis, front bulkhead, lower chassis brace, and blew out some tires that cost like $40 each.
And that’s just the stuff I can remember off the top of my head 😝
kevvv can you do a review/bash on the stampede? i know its an old model and what not but but would be seriously entertaining. ive had 4 of em !
X-Maxx isn't exactly my first choice of name yet it's great to see you taking things to the MAXX Mr. Talbot.
I just hope the shocks are filled to the MAXX with the right shock fluid.
I think it might be time you did another little video about shocks involving internal spring vs. external.
A real analysis of what to expect.
that really isn't kevin's forte
woulndt worry about the traxxas cars, its arrma that cant hold up
Pop a small piece of fuel tube (end on) into both outdrives and it'll stop the driveshafts popping out
Great work Kevin, just some food for thought when does it become not an xmaxx with all the upgrades? .. I'm not being a nob just wondered your thoughts... Cheers man keep up the great reviews n testing!! 👍
You are the best rc car UA-camr
The last rc car I bought was from radio shack, so my rc knowledge is rather lacking and dated, but I love your videos and your energy
I had a golden arrow & a couple other radio shack rcs... its crazy what you can do with them now
12:58 jeeez, kev got the full tank
