Great tips. Next time I bend a chassis, I´ll just take out my forklift and monstertruck out to bend it back straight again. Never thought of that handy little life-hack. :-P
Gonna say this could be my favorite channel on UA-cam and I don't even own and have never owned an RC...well a real RC had those toys when I was a kid but they don't count
Never too old to start.....I got back into RC because skateboarding was making my bones hurt too much and my knees hated me. Same with my dirt bike and my spine... when the RC breaks your transport is still intact and so is your body. 😂
@John Boy's RC honestly I have wanted to get into the hobby for years. Just have a lot going on on the home front so the cost has been and is at the moment an unnecessary indulgence. Got to put my kids and family first, however I love watching every video that Kevin puts out. This guy is fantastic and I can't even begin to comprehend how anyone could hate on him.
i said it a thousand times before and i say it again. the problems these rubbish nitro engine cars seem to have do NOT justify their existence! i hate them beyond measure now. every single time kev comes with one its always same. starting needs an hour. and if they run, 30 seconds later they are broken and alot tiny problems start to appear. there is only one thing to it: kill it with fire. all of them. back to electro. KEVIN PLEASE CONSIDER BIG ELECTRIC RC BOATS! 16S stuff. or turbine. or whatever comes to your mind.
Hey Kev! I really like the videos where you find old discontinued rcs, and I’d really recommend finding a losi muggy, they’re originally nitro with a high torque engine, very tough buggers, and very fun. I’ve upgraded diffs and drivetrain on one and pushed it to 8s lol
I Live in the same town as you. (aint gunna say where just for privacy reasons.) I also work at the M&S that you show in a few of your videos and always see you when im wokring in the delivery yard. Nice to see someone from our small town have a big channel on youtube, Keep it up Kevin.
Would be cool to see it driven on a track or on something normal. Id like to see if it lasts like that instead of slamming it into concrete at a skate park.
Wondering if you could run a bar from front to rear shock towers, on both sides, to either keep the chassis from bensing or flexing or to straighten it back up?
Oh yeah I almost forgot that piece of porcelain from the spark plug only works on tempered glass like bent doorglass or back window in your car or truck. Any tempered (heat treated) glass will due.😅it will make it spiderweb into a million little pieces.
@@derekhobbs1102 yeah they were tempered back then. Especially in Europe but Now windshields are two pieces of regular glass with clear nylon plastic sandwiched between them. One so you still have glass. That’s why you get rock chips or cracks in windshield. It’s called AS1 level safety glass where as tempered glass on drivers doors and rear glass is AS2 because you still need protection from the windshield at speed instead of a face full of gravel sized pieces of glass.
I guess for us Americans that don't know what "tickover" is. It's what we call idle or idling. You give more or less tickover when you adjust the idle speed.
Cracking video as usual keep up the good work can you recommend a budget transmitter with model memory as my boys tamiya collection is getting larger and he wants a twin stick transmitter with memory so he can use one transmitter for his models cheers kev
Kev, is tying a cable tie on the controller's throttle the same thing as a runaway bride? These longer videos with the repairs are my favorite, especially when you use a hammertime when you're frustrated! lol. Excellent, bro! You should play the MC Hammer song when you beat the car with a hammer, KEV. 😂😂 Can't Touch This, lol.
I feel like the chassis is always a weak point on rc cars, especially such big ones. A full roll cage type structure bolted through the chassis and strut towers would make it so much stronger. Is this a thing? I've never seen it
1:00 to straighten stuff like that, get yourself a steel L channel and a c clamp. Line them up and put the clamp between the bent part and the L. If you need to "over straighten" you can put some spacers on the ends so the middle tightens more. you can use that for chassis too. (kind of like when you put it in a vise and tighten it down). It works great for things that you can put in a vise.
Better to beat it with a hammer. This guy's got more money than he knows what to do with. Plus not many people have those things. But they got a hammer
Raise your hand if you've been watching Kevin Talbot for a long time🤚

What kind of RC car will break today? I watched while thinking. Again, the Kevin Talbot channel is great.
Because it's fun every time I see it.😊😊😊
"no don't hit bearings" killed me 🤣
Same 😂
Yeah😂
That shit was hilarious
Kevin I absolutely love your channel,it shows that you can still have a lot of fun whether you're a kid or an adult.

Yep. I just got into the hobby on my 40th birthday. I had been interested and learning about RC. But actually got my first one at 40. I'm hooked.

I bought one for my son cause of him, you could get into it for a few hundred bucks.
@@michaelboots7690 thanks Junk that is definitely something to think about.
"durability test" here should be officially renamed to: "bash it to absolute destruction" 🤣

KEV TALBOT, rc's original mad scientist... brilliant. John
best time of year with all the leaves for rippin through them!

I love the way Max thinks! 👍🏻👌🏻
Lunch time watch 🙌🏽

Also all the M&S Delivery drivers love your content and talk about it most days, so shout out to them.

Your cool for not giving away the name of the town he lives in
Best thing on youtube ✋️✋️
Great video Kevin and Max!! Thanks for the laughs You guys are killing it as always! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!
Normal: _"You're Using a Crescent Wrench on a $2,000 RC Car _*_You Idiot"_*
Talbot: _"Do go on, ole chap. Yes, now full throttle. _*_Good lad."_*
you got my subscription when you rebuilt the new lil nitro motor after just sending it and doing no break in! haha
Thanks for sharing.

I’ve been watching him for 9 years
bestes RC! yes
more crawlers :D and more raffal. it is good way to support you with hope to win some expensive toys :)
Been watching your videos for years and look forward to watching them in my extra spare time, thank you
Arrma where is your toughest rc cars now
They never last long with kev and maxx
Great video content all the time Kevin Talbot
Kev's been busy lately putting out some great content i really enjoy how he puts together his video's thankyou kev for the epic content
Two stroke bash session 👍👍👍
It looks like the inside of that motor saw some water, LOL, Kevin!!!! 😂
watching you absolutely thrash the nads out of these things is so satisfying.. and youve inspired me to get into the hobby because of it!
so many uploads recently. loving it
The Proline 1/5 Trenchers would be sick on this truck! 😎😎
Only few meters from Landy and already broken, that's gotta be some sort of record lol
Hallo dear friendo Kevin Talbot channel 🇬🇧 today ITS a wonderfull day to play many games with our RC crawler truck toys 😊
Nice vid kev, you should put the masive Taylor rc engine in it
By far, the best RC channel 👍 👌
Kev's unique style brings enjoyment to the masses 😂
The Rovan XLT Monster Truck is a great RC Car , maybe one day I will order one 🙂🤘 Thanks for this durability test 🙂
Kevin your my rc hero!!! You keep me in the rc game !! Thank you man!
Haha the max factor 😂!
Gosh i reckon you ought to fit a steel chassis to your rc cars you always bend them 🙂
I like your videos
Kev, the only man who tries to fix a broken rc car, BY ATTEMPTING TO BREAKING IT AGAIN LOL..👍👍
Oh yeah I almost forgot that piece of porcelain from the spark plug only works on tempered glass like bent doorglass or back window in your car or truck. Any tempered (heat treated) glass will due.😅it will make it spiderweb into a million little pieces.
I tried it when I worked at wrecking yard, worked first time on mid 70s windscreen.

Another great one kev. Always entertaining and I learn a thing or to. Like don't land on the corner of a skate ramp 😂😂twice😢😢
What’s funny is you take the time to run the wires all clean tidy and smack the bearings with a hammer. Haha priorities!! Fun video
This was a very fun video!!! Good stuff kev!
kev awesome video😊😊
Hello from Cali Kev!
Do you have any redcat R.C.'s? Are they available over the pond? Or do you not care for them? Just curious. Thnx
Durability test= smashing the fudge outta it Talbot style
Man every time you rebuild a car in the video the car goes beast mode!
That spark plug will most definitely shatter a car windshield my guy! 💯 percent!
You are one crazy nut!!! I love watching your channel, it puts a big smile on my face. Thanks for making my work days fun.
Love the vids
Pure entertainment! What a blast! Keep it up.
Yessss I love these videos. I’m building a 6s 4x4 slash now
I guess for us Americans that don't know what "tickover" is. It's what we call idle or idling. You give more or less tickover when you adjust the idle speed.
Best vid in a while keep it up kev!
Kev did you order the rlaarlo Ak-917??
If so no need to send it to the moon
Beeen waiting for this, love the videos
lol. bending that chassic back was the best part of the vid
How do you never round off the heads of the screws?????
love the motor autopsy you did to that xmaxx! please do that to all broken electric motors! i love to see what failed.
His voice sounded like William in the move labyrinth.... 😂
Kev, you have a knack for setting these things up.
Kev: “Let’s take it out for a second durability test!”
RC Car: “Do you think I’m made out of indestructible unobtanium?!”
😂
lol😂😂😂😂🤣
“Look elizabeth is coming to bash too”💀 3:31
Cracking video as usual keep up the good work can you recommend a budget transmitter with model memory as my boys tamiya collection is getting larger and he wants a twin stick transmitter with memory so he can use one transmitter for his models cheers kev
At over 1400 with tax It's more expensive than the Losi DBXL. We all have a different Perspectives on cheap Or inexpensive.
Funny as when u 2here saying about the bearings, your spot on even my lad was laughing away hahaha
@Kev Talbot Have you ever thought about doing a hybrid RC? Combining an electric motor and gas engine?
Run this thing with the reminder tires
✋️. ...my favourite saying of kev's "I'm not in it " 😂😂
Not too lean. Not too rich. Sounded spot on 😉
U gotta throw a piece of the spark plug pretty hard to get it to break glass but it does work
Its nice😂
Was a cool video bro👍🏻👊🏻
That was a good move not taking the xlt back to the skate park 😅, great video man, your videos are very entertaining. Keep up the good work 👍🔥🚀
That chassis is mental🤯
Love seeing you use those Whia bits. Their amazing
Seeing as though you don't have a press to remove bearings. You can also use a socket And a vice. Or a C clamp and a socket.
If any rc can make it the second trip out with Kevin it's worth it. Thanks for another awesome video Kev.
*without extensive m2c and rpm upgrades*
I love the longer videos
I don't think I’ve ever watched one of these episodes where he doesn't destroy something. It's the best advert for not getting into the hobby.
You are the god of RC Kev!

Hey Kevin, I want one! 👍 Excellent video BTW.
Crazy that kevs at 2.1 mil now, congrats dude keep it up
I love all ur vids
I love all the videos 🙋♂️
I feel like the chassis is always a weak point on rc cars, especially such big ones. A full roll cage type structure bolted through the chassis and strut towers would make it so much stronger. Is this a thing? I've never seen it
Is there ever a day you don’t destroy a car when you go out?? Lol
Who cares how you fix and do things, aslong as it works and gets the job done you're golden 💪F the haters 😎
Kevin doesn’t own a pair of jeans, lol. Love your content man!
13:05 tempered glass
How much are they and how much to send one to New Zealand 😊
That RC truck is a beast
I think you should do a rc car building from scratch series, it could be popular.
Gotta love the Xmaxx. Gotta convert mine to 8s soon!!!
Every video you come bigger and faster you ripping legend 💯

dont think a c clamp would be strong enough, needs a press and v block really
Better to beat it with a hammer. This guy's got more money than he knows what to do with. Plus not many people have those things.
But they got a hammer
