I would note for what I paid in 99 for a radio battery and charger to go with my super hornet you could get a rtr bandit today. So they have gotten a lot cheaper
Last time I did that my dad went full throttle with my tmaxx into a curb. After it was split in two, held together by a flimsy piece and 3 wheels, he was trying full throttle into the curb again. The only thing I salvaged was the motor. We were in a large empty college parking lot. He had to go out of his way by a lot to hit that curb.
Because he has all the money to fix it if someone wreck it obviously much like how he torture all his rc. If you are someone who need to save money up really hard to buy some expensive toys I'm sure you wouldn't just "give the remote to anyone" 🙄
Too much fun! It’s an odd looking buggy but it seems to go well. Looked a bit understeery at first, did better later on. Could possibly use less stiff springs too.
I agree with you about cost being subjective, but just to explain what I think other people are complaining about... $700 is cheap compared to the most expensive alternatives that you listed... but it is NOT cheap compared to the lower end alternatives. It's mid-range. It is mid-range and not "dirt cheap" because when compared to ALL reasonable alternatives it's roughly in the middle of the price range. Just because something costs less than the most expensive alternative does not mean it is "dirt cheap", there is a lot of middle ground there.
I completely agree,last time he was calling a £300 electric car ‘dirt cheap ‘ when there are Wl toys etc with prices £100 or less and those are what I’d call dirt cheap
That is honestly dirt cheap! They even have a 1/5 scale RTR 4WD gas buggy for $599.00 at Fearless Rc. I remember my first 1/5th Scale 2WD gas buggy cost me $3900.00 and I had to buy a radio and then put the whole thing together cause it came in small parts bags. It's a great time to be alive if you are into RC cars or any hobby. Everything is so inexpensive and works really well. The difference compared to back in the late 1990s or early 2000 is insane when it comes to prices and quality. It's so much better now. People who complain are too lazy to work harder and need to stop mooching off their parents, lol.
That petrol engine is impressive for the price, the pickup from a standing start is very quick unlike the 5T which takes a while to rev out and sounds pants lol. Great value for the money and looks over engineered which is great 👌🏻

Not a bad buggy to put up with what you did. Would like to see the post bash footage to see what bent or broke though. Could use a bit larger pinion. I liked that it was relatively quiet.
What a $700 gas buggy. That's an amazing price point. How is that even possible. It looks respectable too. Man I was saving for a losi 5ive but this might be another solid 4x4 option.
thats sweet buggy, just need suspension sorted out. Screw out droop/sag screws in a-arms so suspension can move and probably needs some softer springs or less preload; do that and itll handle 10x better ;
Kev your the man bro. Let the haters keep hating, that just means your doing something right lol. Love how you keep it real and give everything hell and then give us your honest opinion. P.s I can't stand that sack chaser Ohlem or what ever his name is. Dude is just trying to shine off your fame.
It reminded me 90s when I had almost the same looked toy. Smaller and not that crazy like this devil of course 🔥 but the same form, rear spoiler and wheels! Even colours! 😂 You woke up a little child in me now. I’ll buy one of the rc cars soon! 🏎😎
The buggy looks like it survived being bashed by Uncle Kev which is a very good sign , i gave smaller scales up years ago and i have a Mcd RR5 Ultimate
My rovan baja was about $430 usd last year. It came with the same remote. That was an excellent purchase, i never regretted it. Only down side, it's a pita to work on.
I have a rovan q Baja too, unfortunately, I wasn't so lucky and about a grand later of new parts including a entire new zenoah engine it finally runs reliably
Thanks for all the great content. I just started back into RC my first RC was a Turbo Optima and my last was a rustler. Now I am selling RC in my store. I think almost all the RC guys know your videos.
Top review on this buggy Kev, I reckon $750 is a pretty fair price for a mental buggy like this, especially considering Losi 5T will cost you 3 times as much and anything by Primal 5 times the price cheers Kev!!
I finally decided to upgrade to a 6S machine, and went for the ARRMA Fireteam. As I was unboxing-it, I was singing "it's Christmas every day!" Not true for me ... but it was still fun! 😂
Love ur work. So jelly of the fun. It's so easy to break stuff. I make 10 an hour at an animal shelter and have my 12 year old by my side. My radio controlled car from China and a speedmen in the house. Wish I could own the Xmax... I would only cruise in the grass and blaze. I would take vids and send them.
Kevin. Thanks, I think the Flysky-GT3B might be my next TX. I can stick all 5 of my track cars on it and be happy. Apparently the GT3C is a newer version and is crap, I've read that there's all sorts of issues with it. 😀👍
If you do get a fsgt3b I recommend a 3s lipo conversion on it. Will save you so much in battery cost! 8aa batteries dont last very long, but it is an amazing radio!
700 is cheap for a petrol rc. The hp baha was more Thats my fav transmitter i use for all mine too.
Luckely rc cars come at all sizes and prices so everyone can have fun!
G'day from Australia Kev. My Baha cost me $1120 Australian. So this does seem like a bargain.
Dirt cheap is a lot for him
I would note for what I paid in 99 for a radio battery and charger to go with my super hornet you could get a rtr bandit today. So they have gotten a lot cheaper
My 5yo daughter calls out "Pit Crew" when she rolls the RC Car then I have to get the yellow flag and pick it up then yell "Time" and she's off again.
I have 3 zombies, my son is 4. And EVERY time I flip or crash my Maxx, he yells “TUMBLE WUMBLE!”. We sit and watch your videos every day! He loves it!
that's awesome😂😊
Your 4 year old is trained well keep it up
Got my nephew into watching too. He thinks Kev is the best lol. He's so stoked for coming to visit this summer and taking my RC's out
That's just cute
That's gotta be the cutest thing I've heard all day, I was having a "poopy" day and that's now cheard me up 😄
I just love how Kevin can give the remote to anyone just sharing a great experience👌

Yeah, the HSP cars are even less. Good luck with my skeleton so far.

Andy the Landy is a beast! But i hope he doesn't feel neglected when THE KEVINATOR is finished and running... we all love Andy ❤ 😊😊😊
Best line ever “I don’t care, I’m not in it”. Love it.
The rear exhaust is about the coolest rc exhaust ive seen...

Bro
Only Kev can give us sun snow and silliness all at the same time 🤪😂🤣

I think it put a big smile on kev’s face so it passes the test
Man, I was going to say that buggy was a bit of a beast...then Andy the Landy showed us how it's done!
I’m very impressed at how durable it is!
That is a really good price for what you get. Impressed with the performance of that stock 29cc.
I have to say if it really did run that well straight out of the box then it is quite impressive
It really did start that well.
Love to see the interaction with other RC drivers.
All kevs videos now are now like adverts waiting for that monster truck start up 🤙😁
I got one of these its a great buggy. Recommend the centre diff and VRC pipe. Running 23/54 gearing with OBR 34 SS, so it pulls like crazy
top speed?
top siendo 99
Where do you get a center diff for these?
Heck yeah my brotha!! That thing looks epic!🔥🤩⚡️⚡️⚡️You should definitely get the Baja Max 5T dude!
People subscribe to this dude's channel always a blast thunder RC⚡⚡⚡ really enjoy your content 👍
What a $700 gas buggy. That's an amazing price point. How is that even possible. It looks respectable too. Man I was saving for a losi 5ive but this might be another solid 4x4 option.
It’s Christmas every day for Kevin
This kyosho truggy is the most beautiful truggy in the world.. PERIOD
Every time I watch Kev, I smile.
The sound that an rc car makes when it stops is satisfying to me
Every day for Kevin is Christmas for him
4:42 the weather dislikes your run in method😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 lol.
Was a great day out as all ways. Should have brought my 1/5 to join in with the noise 🤣
Dang that thing just lands on it’s wheels extremely well. Never owned a petrol RC car and I don’t think I will ever but very cool.
Kev right at the end... Look at that smile!!!
Snowing and sunning, she-wee. There is much more to these videos than the rc bit.
WOW KEVIN, THIS RC IS EXTREMLY IMPRESSIVE
Omg!
That is an awesome RC car!
It looks like it can handle some off road action!
I've never been one to impulsively buy anything..... until I seen your video Kevin! Now I'm a gas buggy junky at age 55. Bloody hell.
KEV!!!!!
We need more content/coverage of this beast!!! Looks awesome!! IT'S NICE 😁
Sunny and snowing is kinda the norm in Minnesota. Looks like the wind never stops blowing in England either.
thats sweet buggy, just need suspension sorted out. Screw out droop/sag screws in a-arms so suspension can move and probably needs some softer springs or less preload;
do that and itll handle 10x better ;
Pretty dang cool Kev 🔥👍 5th scale Petros are awesome. More realistic. I love the fact you can see the suspension working etc.
Awesome vid Kev 🔥👍✌️
My favorite part was when you picked up the bottle top plug thingy off the ground and threw it in your bin, That is how you spot a good soul...
Beast! Epic location for those 1/5 cars!
When a fuel powered RC is running right it's a little bit more fun than any battery powered RC out there.
Claire is such a pleasant gal. Love her 😄
When the xmaxx jumps over the 30dn 👌🏻
Can’t go wrong for price my friend and would be killer if it was a 2 speed
Second, can you do a cheap easy and simple rc car showcase next time?
9:17 “ARE YOU READY??”😂😂
Looks like kev had more fun with this then the raminators. 😂
Loving the BIG petrol stuff lately 👌🏻
Claire's always a good sport
Love love
Kev your the man bro. Let the haters keep hating, that just means your doing something right lol. Love how you keep it real and give everything hell and then give us your honest opinion. P.s I can't stand that sack chaser Ohlem or what ever his name is. Dude is just trying to shine off your fame.
Haha Kev you're the reason that log is there in the way! Someone must not have been a fan of seeing Andy the Landy out there!
It reminded me 90s when I had almost the same looked toy. Smaller and not that crazy like this devil of course 🔥 but the same form, rear spoiler and wheels! Even colours! 😂 You woke up a little child in me now. I’ll buy one of the rc cars soon! 🏎😎
That is quite a decent affordable petrol rc buggy went well and handled decent .
That's a great vehicle for 700 quid.
Looks awesome
I bought this and it is so good. Also the petrol lasts for so long
The buggy looks like it survived being bashed by Uncle Kev which is a very good sign , i gave smaller scales up years ago and i have a Mcd RR5 Ultimate
My rovan baja was about $430 usd last year.
It came with the same remote.

I have a rovan q Baja too, unfortunately, I wasn't so lucky and about a grand later of new parts including a entire new zenoah engine it finally runs reliably
It actually seems quite good! Let's punt for the sand rail for extra giggles!
We want to see more andy off-roading
Thanks for all the great content. I just started back into RC my first RC was a Turbo Optima and my last was a rustler. Now I am selling RC in my store. I think almost all the RC guys know your videos.
Hey Kevin love how you bring people together I’m in Washington DC getting my rc car game up I have a couple keep striving for GREATNESS 👍👍👍💯💯💯💯
Hey kev, was watching a bunch of old videos and came across the one about hobby hub, is stempy still running that?
I dont think so
Do you still have this vehicle? Really like it , love to see more
It gets me everytime you say tumble Wumble! 🤣. You're such a great content creator! Keep up the good work.
That RC buggy is really cool
Such a great group of people, you guys always look like your having so much fun!
Awesome video Kevin. You look like you all had such a great time with a brilliant location. Love the real off roading too!
Kev on his knees in the road, choking and tugging his BIG package on camera.
Hahahahaha
Awesome. At the end I thought you were going to back flip Andy and was waiting for it to go very wrong. Good to see you aren't quite that silly. :)
Sweet, great day👍
Awesome 👊 and great to see Andy getting in on the action too 👌 😂
Always love to watch your videos always good for a good laugh when I’m having a bad day I just watch a little Talbot
That's impressive! I want one!
Great video would love to see u pimp out anyone of your trucks so we can see you smile when your driving it cuz that's what matters
Fun day with friends. Fantastic!
Reminds me when i got the FG marder back in the day it was epic
When I got my king motor x2 (losi 5ive T) many years ago it was $800, now they're $12 or $1,300. $700 is pretty cheap these days.
Run aways can be funny when somone else's 😅😂 oh dear lol great video again cheers
Glad you enjoyed
Top review on this buggy Kev, I reckon $750 is a pretty fair price for a mental buggy like this, especially considering Losi 5T will cost you 3 times as much and anything by Primal 5 times the price
cheers Kev!!
Break it in? Yeah I'll bloody break it all right!
“Dirt cheap” Me “Wow really looks at the car IT’S LIKE 800 HUNDRED DOLLARS!!”
I think Andy needs to find a tree and flip-out😉
Where is the last location ? Looks perfect for the RC cars
What a lovely day .
I finally decided to upgrade to a 6S machine, and went for the ARRMA Fireteam. As I was unboxing-it, I was singing "it's Christmas every day!" Not true for me ... but it was still fun! 😂

You should check out the Reely Carbon Fighter 3. It's a 1:6 petrol buggy. My friends and I had several ones for years and they have been amazing.
First
Love your PFP dude
no
Nice running in snow 😅
Cheers from Canada! Entertaining as always! Honestly I haven't watch it at the time of this comment but I am assuming it's going to be entertaining!
Way to take out the X-Maxx Kev!
👍🏼great video.. it’s an impressive car , very stable in the air and on the ground. .. and sounds nice
Hi Kev, Just wanted to say that I love your videos
Kevin.
Thanks, I think the Flysky-GT3B might be my next TX. I can stick all 5 of my track cars on it and be happy.
Apparently the GT3C is a newer version and is crap, I've read that there's all sorts of issues with it.
😀👍
If you do get a fsgt3b I recommend a 3s lipo conversion on it. Will save you so much in battery cost! 8aa batteries dont last very long, but it is an amazing radio!
Awesome video- as usual! I want to see more of this thing! Very impressed so far...
I love Andy the landy. It's amazing
That's how I run my engines in 💪🏿
