Kind of makes you wonder why they don't bring one out stock electric. Has to be lighter and therefore perform better? Great video. Smiled all the way through. Thanks Kev 😎😎
I prefer electric honestly, no mess, no tuning issues and less noise in the neighborhood. While I realize I could travel outside the neighborhood to run my rcs, especially if I had one as large as a raminator lol , I like being close to home.
Love that you finally put an electric motor in the Ramminator. The petrol motor was so sluggish it seemed more like a gimmick rc truck than something anyone would actually use on a normal basis. With this setup I'm excited to see more people buy them. Maybe it's time for a wheelie bar? Great video!!
Just keep your lipos at storage voltage, then they aren't dangerous to store. Seriously, everyone is terrified of lipos because of all the UA-cam videos of people driving nails through fully charged ones, or charging them to 8v per cell or heating them to 90C after charging... But at a low energy state, they simply don't have the energy to bring the Armageddon you fear.
Finally, someone in the UK knows good power tools. I usually see Ryobi cordless tools in the UK UA-cam Channels never Milwaukee tools. I love my Milwaukee tools! Plus the red looks bad arse. That brushless motor for the truck can probably power my Nissan Leaf, lol.
Well, Ryobi and Milwaukee are produced by the same chinese company (techtronic), probably even in the same plant. Those Milwaukees are really powerful but I don't really like them. They feel cheap somehow but maybe it's only my impression. How do they last if you use them regularly or commercially?
Makita are better than Milwaukee. I have some Milwaukee and have considered selling it to get Makita variants of the Milwaukee tools i have now they make them.
I’m mighty impressed with this build imagine using a bigger electric motor that would be epic!!! Thank you for the videos I look forward to them every day I get off work!
I LOVE seeing these electric conversions!!!!! Yeah the petrol motors sound rad, but there's no denying the power delivery is way better in the electric systems
I can't believe how far electric motors and batteries have evolved, 10 years ago i would never have recommend this swap but now its AWESOME. Love your video edits! 😁👀🎉
Tell me about it. I left the rc world about 12 years ago when I was competing in 1/8 Nitro Buggies on the local and regional level. Now I'm back, and Holy cow! These brushless setups are STUPID fast! I bought my 12yr old a Traxxas Rustler VXL this last Christmas, and I've been blown away by how far electric rc has come. If you had told me back in 2005 that soon electric setups would be way faster than nitro, I'd have laughed in your face. I'm looking at buying an Arrma Typhon, or an Outcast now.
Seriously. I never got an rc prior to now because nitro was really the only option back 20+ years ago to go the fast. But theyre still so temperamental that I just couldn't do it. My neighbors next door had a few T-Maxxes and I saw the crap they went through with them. And I wanted none of that lol. Thank God electric motors finally evolved past the nitro stuff.
You can say that again. I went from a Radio Shack RC like 17 years ago (which was amazing to me at the time) to a variety of brand new brushless trucks in the last year and I felt exactly the same way.
Primal really needs to sell these as fully electric out the door. Saves buying a gas engine that you will scrap and saves people from having to got through all this work.
That is awesome Kev. Suggestion; Add a colouring to the cooling water - maybe a bit of coolant against corrosion. Use chain wax for the transfer box gears.
0:30 Tekno did a clutch for the Losi eight brushless conversion. Brushless still newish at the time, and they did a clutch just like nitro or the one you showed (shoe type) Idea is the motor torque is so far beyond the drivetrain capability. of course the Tekno one was before esc's were so programable by end users. which makes the one you have a bit curious...perhaps just extra protection.
I would love to see this as twin motor, and 16s this beast with mgm esc. Then send it to the moon and back. Imagine this monster going 50+mph. Thats quite scary but woud be absolutley epic 😂😂😂😂😂👍🏽
Truly truly awesome. But I can see why you like the nitro as well. It's nuts how torquey that motor is. I guess the other ting about it is you can still get your Raminator fix if you are in a place where noise is an issue.
Wow, Definitely wakes it up being electric. Absolutely hammers now. Awesome!! At least now it won't annoy with the noise of a two stroke. Sensational conversion Kevin, cheers for doing the conversion. Just made the Raminator that much more desirable.
YES YES YES! The day has finally came! I love the raminator and now I get to see it electric, and not just that, you are doing it! Love the videos! Subscribe Subscribe SUBSCRIBE!!!! YES!
That is too cool! Kevin you are an incredible addition to the RC industry! Between you and Rav I've learned so much and seen some INCREDIBLE content. Keep it up brother.
That was like having a kids power wheel at the skatepark 😂😂😂 Edit: Kev, maybe add a small silver coil or a anti microbial agent to the water reservoir to keep things from growing in the rad and res and keep that little pump going longer. Will also make it so you wont have to change the water as often. I use distilled water and a silver coil with a little blue food coloring in my gigantic water cooled media server, I only have to change the water every 6 months.
I have to say I really really like the Brushless version over the gas version. But the hopped up motor you have a long with that tuned pipe sounds soo good. I can't believe the torque the electric version has on that scale of a truck it has no problem at all pulling the front end up whenever you want to. Love your channel love your builds the videos are awesome I'm 38 years old I've been in and out of the hobby since I was 11 and your channel has sparked my interest in it again. So me and my youngest daughter are gonna go to the local hobby store tomorrow and have a look around to see what kind of TRUCK OR CAR I may want to get into thanks again for all the great content.....
Ever fancy making a robot for battlebots kev? You've got the skills and it'd make for awesome content.
Good idea
Batalbot see, he owns it
Or make a full size real rc car like they did on topgear years ago
Ba Talbot = Battle Bot
Idk if I’d say he’s got the skills for it. I’m not saying he’s stupid but there’s a lot into those compared to a regular rc car
y o u h a v e t h r e e r a m i n a t o r s
NOOOOOO
w h y
May as well say 4 after all the upgrades 🤦🏻♂️
Very cool in electric....can't wait to see it with a gear swap....it's a beast!!!!
⁷l
good to know and in my opion i like the idea and video alot its really cool my opion its really cool
😲😳🥺😭😔

Can't sell upgrade kits for a product that's already good enough
I'm going to feel sorry for the guy who made that jet engine when you destroy it :P
Noiice.

Great video!!
Always gave this man props for battery storage in a decent container. Can’t risk it with LiPos guys
i still dont want it in here but have no choice!
I had to read this about 20 times before I realised what you were saying
Do you have any suggestions on what I should be storing my lipos in? I have 4 S3's
@@KevinTalbotTV that would be a cool project video. "outside ducted battery storage".

The torque and instant acceleration with electric is impressive. I must admit though, something is missing without the sound of a big gas engine.

The best tools on the market..rite one

Should have weighed it before and after, would be interesting to know the difference if any!!
Kev...that looked like ALOT of work!! But BRAVO for filming and showing how it was dun in a very timely manor! Absolutely loved this vid man!
And he drove it too! He didn’t pull a “stay tuned for the results” like many would.
"Manor" 🤣
Dun? Seriously? Inept.
Plug and play.

Why is it still clutched?
Oh Kevin You're so genius with RC ...I want to be You're student....
I think electric is the way to go after having two petrol raminators
i still prefer the noise!
Primal really needs to sell these as fully electric out the door. Saves buying a gas engine that you will scrap and saves people from having to got through all this work.
Absolutely
Bloody hell Kev that’s Motor is the size of a starter motor 😂😂😂looks hella fun awesome content as usual keep killing it Kev
I definitely want to see this thing geared up for some speed runs!! Imagine a 60mph raminator!
Don't get in it's way! Lol
That is awesome Kev. Suggestion; Add a colouring to the cooling water - maybe a bit of coolant against corrosion.
Use chain wax for the transfer box gears.
Like a custom PC
When the it starts towing the cart with all the other RC's in it,
"Work smart, not hard"
This is ABSOLOUTLEY EPIC!
I keep coming back to watch this video, absolutely love the upgrade. Definitely necessary for those of us who still have all of our hearing, lol
Electric is so much more agile 💪 Insane how technology changed. 🤷
Only thing that change is the rpm
0:30 Tekno did a clutch for the Losi eight brushless conversion. Brushless still newish at the time, and they did a clutch just like nitro or the one you showed (shoe type)

I don't wanna be anywhere close to him. A flying 80lb object at 50mph is going to hurt or worse.
YEEEEEEEES WE NEED THAT PLEASE!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Truly truly awesome. But I can see why you like the nitro as well. It's nuts how torquey that motor is. I guess the other ting about it is you can still get your Raminator fix if you are in a place where noise is an issue.
yes!!

Sensational conversion Kevin, cheers for doing the conversion. Just made the Raminator that much more desirable.
Electric motor works much better than termic! Nice work!!!
Would a direct drive installation be possible on this? seems the clutch/ transmission delays the reverse.
Im most interested in Trailing/crawling
Fantastic. Wish i could!
Same
You are my favorite channel for all RC! Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you Kevin!
I actually really love this brushless conversion considering how quiet it is. If I ever save enough to buy a Raminator I am definitely doing this.
YES YES YES! The day has finally came! I love the raminator and now I get to see it electric, and not just that, you are doing it! Love the videos! Subscribe Subscribe SUBSCRIBE!!!! YES!
He never gets good weather :P
I've learned everything I know about fixing and building rc cars from you. Thanks kev
Maybe 🤔 put a 1000kg ATV winch on there!! It would be very original..!!!
"Look at the size of that "
"And look how small is it"
😂😂
That is what she said
This guy's contagious personality can make mopping the floor exciting!
Wow, I've never seen a water cooled motor and esc before
They are pretty common in RC boats, as there is no airflow.
@@Charlie6969 that makes sense
Finally the brushless conversion! That gas version makes it so chunky and the sound reminds me of my first moped lol.
Very good decision!
All I can say is it’s awesome you do all the tedious work for our entertainment. We appreciate you Kev!
For his entertainment as well…
A beast! Those high jumps being a big heavy rig and survive everything, is a statement. And when it’s time to go can be RIDDEN back to the car?!!? 🤣🤣🤣
hi
I am from sri lanka
That is the coolest RC car I seen
That is too cool! Kevin you are an incredible addition to the RC industry! Between you and Rav I've learned so much and seen some INCREDIBLE content. Keep it up brother.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE GEAR UP!
That was like having a kids power wheel at the skatepark 😂😂😂

Will also make it so you wont have to change the water as often. I use distilled water and a silver coil with a little blue food coloring in my gigantic water cooled media server, I only have to change the water every 6 months.
This power wheel is alot more expensive though. I bet some senior citizens would get a thrill out of riding the raminator though.
What is the blue food coloring for? Looks? So it's easier to spot leaks? To see if flowing through the tubes more easily?
That thing is huge! Looks fun.
Hi Kevin been watching ur vids for 3 years now keep up the good work and just wondering can u do more vids with the crawlers thanks have a great day
Rookie numbers
You looked proper made up when it worked first time. Nicely done. 👍
“Look at the size of that” that’s what she said 😏
I love watching Kev get excited absolutely priceless 😂
Where do you buy the stuff to build something like that?
It says in the video
Links are always in the description
Always love a good video on the raminator
I have to say I really really like the Brushless version over the gas version. But the hopped up motor you have a long with that tuned pipe sounds soo good.

This! This is what puts the biggest smile on my face. Love that electric torque. It's so big!
Really like it in electric. None of the racket, and more power. Win win
It's ALIVE!! That thing needs a 2-speed transmission with an overdrive for the speed runs.
Very good modification, it is better greetings from Poland
You just have too much fun kevin.
It is kind of weird not hearing the raminator.
Those kids look impressed Kev!
No video would be complete without someone riding the Raminator!
I think deep down we all enjoy a good old kev rage 😂 .
I love the engineering of those things.
Primal RC should sell electric Raminators, the blue one.😍
Man’s has to put it onto the rock bouncer
That thing is absolutely epic!!!!!!
Kevin uncle love your videos I watch you from beginning see you so nice your talented man you made the raminator
Ian footage!!! Good boots on the ground
so cool!!!
Good video, very methodical. And the car is better now, faster, stronger and much more silent.
Bravo Kevin great job dude!! 😂
Kev you should of put the brushless on the mud truck a put the mud truck motor in the red raminator.
We need more of the electric raminator!
you fellows are my kind of fun... nice boat video
That torque is insane!
Whoa, that thing is awesome!
Just stumbled onto this…very entertaining
Now that is powerful that is what I call a Monster Truck good
It's a beast offroad especially now with its high tourqe electric motor. Awesome! I would buy one if was already eletric assembled, lol
such beautiful big foot rc....man fall in love..
What a beast!
Whoa man! You make this stuff look easy. I’d be left with a box of parts sitting in my garage😂
I usually have parts left after too 😂
Wow I like your videos on rc cars
Electric on top always 💯💪🏽
Heck yea, gonna be the second one done, and awesome build
It makes sense why it has a clutch. That's super smart!
YEEESSSSSSS FINALY
I love to think that every time Kevin yells “yes “right afterward he stops the video and yells “SH9T Fudge” 😂😂 1:36
Man I definitely gotta get this truck with the electric motor in it!
It's a lot faster and more fun . Nice work
Gotta love that RW steering!!!
I would really like to see some nice soft crawler tires on this and some low gears and do some crawling.
with locked diffs!
The RC Monster truck seems a lot fast with electric motor in it and the bigger Servos help to
I can't wait for the day to come. When you can drive your monster truck! To the bashing location! 😜👍
What a beautiful bit of kit
This is just awesome to watch 😅 now you need it to go 100 mph ✌🇩🇰🇩🇰
Watching Kevins videos is like going on an adventure!!
