boom!
We do not care
You may not care, but Kev does.
That front suspension is not that strong
"If you got a smile on your face, you're doing it right" is the perfect advice for any hobby. There's no wrong way to enjoy a hobby, as long as you're happy then it's good!
not if you keep animals! if you want to keep a fish in a whater bottle and this makes you smile, its wrong anyway. but with non-living things, you can do what you want.
Unless your hobby inlcludes dangerous products like fire arms and explosives. Then there are definitely a few things you can do wrong which could result in a deadly situation for you or bystanders
Amen to that
I would revise that slightly to "if you've got a smile on your face, and you aren't hurting anyone, then you're doing it right"
he said that lol
Bestest of best comments ever Kev, "if it puts a smile on your face its worth every penny and that is really all that matters" well said Kev
Kev, I use to put thin cable ties around those wheels they fit perfectly between the knobs on the tyre so doesn’t interfere with traction either and stops them expanding 👍🏻
I plugged the vent holes on all my rims and mount the tire after keeping everything in the freezer. It adds a little bit of air pressure which for my driving style and personal preference has definitely been a benefit.
KT: *rams it fullspeed into a gate*
also KT: 'how can it be broken already?!'
🤣

It can obviously be broken since he’s driving it carelessly RC car parts can range up from $300-$964
@@harlennartker4006what golden encrusted silver parts are you buying?
4:53 - Reminds me of watching NASCAR years ago with Ned Jarrett announcing. If he saw a tire running around the track by itself, he'd break out into song: "You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel!"
i memer that!
A bit late, but.. That would have been Darrel Waltrip instead of Ned
THIS! This is exactly why I love your videos, Kevin!
Everyone should enjoy their hobby, their way!
Thanks again for the epic video!
LONG LIVE TALBOT
Long live Talbot's RC cars... OK, I'm kidding. Ha, ha!
👏
Kevin : Play with it until you break it, then play with it some more until it is destroyed or no longer able to drive and needs MAJOR repair. Lol
It is so much fun to watch you run the heck out of these RC vehicles and put them through REAL torture tests. I always come to your videos to see what will last and/or survive the "Kevin-Test." Traxxas, Arrma, or Banggood special, it doesn't matter, you always give your honest opinion whether a vehicle is worth the money to buy or junk and run away. Thank you for putting smiles on our faces. Bash on, brother!!
Hi kev,I had all these issues on my dbxl and finally bit the bullet and bought flm cvd shafts for the centre shafts and fid heavy duty for the main drive shafts,held up alot better
Always really liked the Losi DBXL. It's such a great platform and a good balance between large-scale-size and smaller-scale-bashability.
Hey Kev, your videos are absolutely awesome, so I can't stop watching them.
It's so much fun watching you having fun with your RC models.
Those type of tires is all my dad runs on his 1/5th scale, I use more of a step pin type on mine. When he put his build engine on it, he broke all sorts of stuff. But, once he got all that sorted out, he hasn't had to replace any parts on it in a couple of years. FYI, I have a King Motor Dark Knight and I love it. I raced it for a few years but I normally just bash it now. I have had it for over 10 years. I did break the back tab off the motor in a race and I did have to replace the throttle/break servo on it. It has been a solid RC car and I run it. A few years ago, I upgrade the electronics on it. I put my Spektrum radio on it, Savox servos and I put the 7200 Mah Lipo on it and a Killer Bee fail safe on it.
Love all your vids Kev, you always put a huge smile on mine and my kids faces. Blessings to you and your family
Thanks for this video. You saved me a lot of money. I was interested in this hobby, but you showed me the bottomless money pit it is.
Thanks for your help.
Much appreciated.
Yeh totally agree. Had RC car as a kid and broke everytime I used it. Bought a new lipo powered cheapy - insanely fast but still stupidly fragile. Then you look at these big pro things as they are even bigger money pits. I’ll stick to proper cars.
To be fair you probably watched the worst video as an introduction. Not all rc cars are this fragile, and losi was never really known for high quality. This thing is just so heavy. Plenty of stronger cars if you’re still interested, the slash vxl, the xmaxx, any of the 3-4s arrma trucks. It may look expensive but given that most of the components are plastic it ends up being cheap. I think it’s only like 30 bucks for a brand new xmaxx chassis and like 15 for each bulkhead
@@da66er74 Ok class listen up..
1. If you want to bash stick to plastic ( preferably Traxxas rc's)
2. Remember.. Metal bends, plastic flexes! Bent metal will never be truly straight again after sustaining any major damage. Metal chassis' and parts are better for light bashing and speed runs (easier on the wallet too)
3. The Losi featured in this vid is not fragile. It's a huge 1/5 scale buggy with alot of metal and wasn't designed to be bashed this way.. Mr. Talbot is just a special kind of savage 😂 Stick to smaller size rigs to minimize damage to your rc's and your wallet 😉
Kevin says "a little bit of Loctite" and the screw disappeared in blue! Cheers Kev! Love your content 😊
Tires were like that in the 80s when I started RC buggy racing!
Put stickier tyres on, break drive shafts. The same thing happens with full-sized cars.
So basically need a stronger shaft? 🤣 No pun intended or maybe intended lmao.
I wouldn't be surprised if it cracked from hitting that nut that came loose, who knows though.
Kev I use Angel and Demon racing driveshafts on my Dbxl after the front broke on its second run. Much stronger not had any problems 👍
Website? USA shipping? Need upgrades.
Kevin I love your attitude. "If you have a smile on your face you're doing it right!" - KT
Kev, I've taken my DBXL-E apart too many times to not consider myself a pro lol. What I've done is on the front drive cups I tripped some gorilla tape and wrapped it twice around the drive cup to cover the holes where that pin can slide through, locktite the grub screw holding the pin in place and I have 0 issues there. I run Badlands MX-43 tires, had to taper out the hole since they are for Xmaxx rc trucks. I also have swapped every and I mean every screw from the bottom to the center diff with stainless steel screws they hold much better with locktite. Anyways you're the one I follow for tips and tricks lol I just figured I'd offer some insite on what I do to keep mine held together and running. I also have it geared up, and ampd up so I've broken quite a few parts here and there.
Losi has new shafts for the DBXL and DBXLE. They have a retainer ring that keeps the pin from coming out. They have been available for a few months now
👍🤜🤛💯
Hey Kev, respect for not hitting the skateparks when skaters are around. I build skateboard parks for a living here in Canada and am both an avid skater and an RC enthusiast with an X-Maxx. Thanks for setting a good example! P.S. My X-Maxx survived a 100' cliff jump, it's on my channel. 😁
I’ve been watching Keven for so many years and he’s so right about so many things that people think they know but they don’t. Thanks, Kev.
Kev always seems to be having a blast and enjoying life but god damn it would be hard for me to live in a place that seems to rain 75% of the time
I lived in England for about 3 years, and to be honest I wouldn't say it rains 75 percent of the time (depends what part of England really). But in general, yes it does have quite a lot of days of rain, generally light to moderate but certainly not 75 percent of the time. The overall sunshine hours though, is quite low compared to a lot of places 🤷♂️.
Rains all the time..........rainforest is missing
@@mankind8088i live in a rainforest bassicly. It gets old. Hoh rainforest is nearby. I think they get 250-300" of rain. Up on Vancouver island they get closer to 600" 😬 yeah, it gets old. Ive dreamed of living in los Angeles area forever. All of the year round racing everything. The begining of bmx skateboarding and everything else since the 70's on. Van halen house parties! 😂 Ahh The good ol days.
The weight of this Losi is killing it everytime. I've seen it in many videos. I saw one video, first run, first jump, not that high and just broke the rear arm(s) and suspension. It's not my car though i love watching it in videos like this.
More Losi DBXL-E Content on my channel!😁😁👍👍
Dbxle is definitely not a basher.. Need an Xmaxx or XRT for that
Thanks for showing the parts breaking and how to fix them. Good content. You just earned another subscriber!
For high speed bashers: Block rim holes, drill holes in rubber tyre. For crawlers: Block rim holes only. Bashers have high wheel speed and any water will fling out - they need the tyre to be able to deform under load. Crawlers have no high wheel speed so water will end up degrading the foams. The extra pressure inside the crawler tyre can help performance - similar to a few psi inside the tyre when trying to find traction
Thank you brother I will use that excellent advice. If you got a smile on your face you are doing it right!
On the plus side, the tires held up great 👍
That’s the thing with big RC’s
“The bigger it is, the bigger the repair bill” but they are hella sick anyway
I always love the extra tips and tricks I pick up on this channel
The positivity.... Big smile your doing it right...I don't know why ppl try n hate in this guy... His hard earned money his toys... Love the hobby
I'm amazed at all the issues that you have been having with it. Hopefully you get them all sorted out. But not at all surprising, most RC's you got run them and see what parts you break the most often and either have stock or upgrade the frequent offenders. Find all the weak spots.
Really you amazed
Im not amazed the way he drives theses is a bit wreckless but cant judge the way he spends his own money
@@brandonegan523 Oh absolutely, in this vid he doesn't go as hard as some of his others and the DBXL is a rig that is meant to take some abuse. At least as far as 1/5th scales go. But breaking stuff when you are hard on it is the name of the game, and after finding the weak spots it should be pretty durable afterwards. That's how I run my 1/5 scales, find the weak spots and upgrade that.
Great video as always Kevin! Keep them coming. I enjoy every single video you upload. Never boring as other videos I've seen from others.
Hitting the bearing lol well I look at it like this if your the one paying to play you have the right to work on your rc's how ever you see fit. Thank you for all you teach us and show us
Hey, I agree with you with taping up the wheels and tires!👍🏼
When you drilled it into the gate, I spit beer out of my mouth lol! 😂
And this is why I don't mess with Losi, seem to handle fantastic but there super expensive, and so are the parts, especially considering there not super tough!
Great for grass Bashers and big dirt tracks I imagine.... Or like Thomas P TP Parts RC Extreme @ his gravel pits ❤️
Great vid as always Kev
I think the intention for most Losi is racing. .
Losi is a great brand honestly. If your jumping a 30 pound truck and land concrete it’s going to break no matter what the material it’s made out of 🤦♂️
bwahahahaha!!!
Watching your videos heals my inner child hood keep posting more awesome rc videos❤️🙏
There ain’t nothin’ better than motocross and Rc 🤙
hi kev, can you test the db pro
I love how long it took him to notice the shock was busted, and then he sent it anyway 😂
Great piece of advice you gave. "If you've got a smile on your face, you're doing it right."
Hi Kevin, just bought myself an xmaxx. Been driving the E-revo 2.0 for a while now and have enjoyed it thoroughly and will for a long more time. Love to see more of your xmaxx and maybe Stemp can join so he feels a bit more part of it rather than you pummeling him with the rammenator 😉😂
Yo Kevin how’s it going
Would love to see more of the slash 4x4 ultimate and the sledge🔥
Keep up the good work bro💪🏼
This video was amazing… I laughed so hard at the tire rolling off… then screamed OH! When he hit the cross bar driving into the skate park… classic video!!
I was really considering a Hammer Rey or a Lasernut before I settled on an Outcast 4S V2.
I am so glad I waited.
Losi think rtr means ready to rebuild. My lasernut broke every time I took it out until I finally went through the entire car. Had to add a ton of shims to the diff and tighten almost every bolt as half the cars bolt had backed out in shipping
I think all rc cars are like this. I have a traxxas stampede if you even look at it funny it breaks.
Kev, the only issue with blocking the vent hole would be during large jumps, adds a lot of pressure which can pop the tire. Shouldn't be a concern if you're not sending it to the moon and even then probably not much of an issue as many apparently think since this is like the gajillionth time you've mentioned it 😉
To be fair the tape should let the air out long before the tyre pops.
@@captainchaos3053 if it's on the outside, had a buddy put it on the inside despite my protests, the stock Xmaxx tires are especially bad at taking the extra pressure from what I've seen so far. That said, I pretty much only buy belted tires anymore. They're more expensive but seem to be lasting way longer than any of the stock non-belted tires...
Lmfao thats not true at all...
@@Abagofweed420 what isn't? That over pressure can pop tires or that Xmaxx stock tires are not that great or that belted tires appear to be lasting longer than the stock ones?
The fact he said there is no wrong or right way Of doing things in this hobby as long as you got a smile on your face your good lol I do a lot of part builds that fly there’s definitely no wrong or right way when it comes to rcs.
I think you take the title from Stimpy as to who is the most destructive RC driver, and I love it.
Kev early you should upgrade your wltoys k989 or the wltoys 184131 to the max with banggood special parts.(If you have time😄)
Where’s Stemp?! Lol we need you and him in a boat!
Kev, didn’t got your Eachine EBT05 yet? It’s so fast!!
I’ll listen to rc Richard Hammond any day before i listen to a rc James may! Love your videos man. Awesome seeing this kind of extremes. I’m all new to this so it’s mind bottling to me
Too true mate, I had an rc that had 3 wheels in the end 😂when I was a kid in the 80’s, still put a smile on my face and was gutted when my mum and dad threw it out 😀
Buggy:breaks
Kev: keep it going!!
Hahaha loved it not so losi tough now.
I was a bit surprised in the maintenance needed to keep it running but in the end it got it love the sparkage.
More nitro content plz I bought my first rc in 20yrs a few months ago because you made owning a nitro look like a headache and totally awesome at the same time.
I love the sarcastic "ugh I was rough on it and it broke"
Man I love how u show the all the work you do! Great vids man, keep up the great work! Just got back into rc got a senton after seeing your vid! Well done my man!!
Kev, just loving your videos and your attitude towards the hobby A LOT!
Kev you should invest in that track and help them fix it up, that would be a really good track with some new carpet
That speed controller new spot is actually perfect. Prob way better air flow
Keving being the adult version of the evil kid from Toy Story :D Thanks for the commitment to content!
Kev you should know.. although you helped the tire not blowing, putting those tapes inside the tire and especially the little ones for the hole, you messed up with the balance of the entire wheel! You gave to the can a tremendous amount of vibration at the higher RPMs.. Maybe that's the reason the car is falling apart..
I agree 100% Kevin! Vented tires/wheels are the devil! On the tires… I have three sets of those tires. They are great! The nearest competition are twice the price!
You inspire me
Cool video Kev, It's sad that DBXL-E 2.0 is falling apart i was thinking about one but now i might just spend the extra money and get a 5ive T 2.0 and convert to electric after i try the gas motor for awhile. And you're right do what you like in the hobby not what others like.
I had the exact same problem with my DBXL-E 2.0, the pin backs out of the CV and obliterates the nut, fortunately you caught yours early, mine was an absolute pig to remove.
Definitely looking for upgraded drivetrain still.
Hi Kev, for the driveshaft, use Fast Lane Machine ones, and never worry about it again
It's a really neat Truck, needs the maintenance though. Nice work as always Kev!
Thanku for doin a video on this, its one of my favourite looking rc cars. One day i'll get one.
I don't block my vent holes because of the added bounce, but for that reason I avoid water at all costs.
OMG… I literally spit my lunch out when you stuck it in the gate…love it.. keep up with he amazing videos!!!!
i have been watching your videos for 3 years on different accounts i love watching you and i just got my first rc car it a was a katana imex
tip: when buying new parts look for any parts that are sport versions they are made for higher speed and better for any crashes
Staying up was worth it for once
"Bla Bla Bla"
One of the best sounds I've ever heard
when i saw losi vs dbxl i already knew the outcome :)
doesnt matter what power you have, dbxl stock suspension is all jacked up
Loving the tiny mallet
Kevin... the crash into the gate though.. I've been laughing for 10 minutes. Amazing 👏
You should tighten the screws of the orange piece in a cross pattern since it's a circle.
The point in venting the tires is to let the dirt out. It's like sandpaper on the foams. The hole in the rim will let stuff in but not out. Plus the holes in the tires allow for expansion and decompression
i'd rather it didn't get in there in the st place so thats how im gonna do it :)
That's cool kevin we just do that as part of the handling process of the suspension. When you block up the holes and make it air tight. It makes your cars tires harder and they tend to bounce the tires. Its just a set up thing ok. In 1/10 we do not put holes in our tires and rims.
Bro, that smile is blinding me! 😵😁
When we see this amazing beast again😍
Little tip for the tire's.
Put 2.000.000/20.000.000 weight in the center diff, you will love it.
100.000 in the front.
And 75.000 in the rear, wil be a great video to.
Cheers kev
I never get bored watching Kevin Talbot
I think the holes in wheels was from back in the day where shocks were not dampened and gave the car more suspension and things have evolved without wheel redesign. Just imagine if real tyre rubber was used for rc purpose built for high speed rc of today. We would all buy them. Would squeal with wheel spin and hold together as we want. 👍👍
The stock s905 servo in the 8s cars strip servo gears easy, mine steered one way fine but didn't the other way. It started as weak steering then completely died.
I always plug and glue evey hole. It keeps the dirt out of the foam and chewing up the foam and I feel like the tires get better traction and less woble at high speed on dirt or asphalt. I had the sledgehammer tires last till completely bald
I love my Losi's (especially the Eight-T) but all my buddies who got that DBXLE are always having issues them. Those drive shafts are expensive! That platform was never truly meant for Brushless power it seems. The gas version lasts a lot longer and I believe it due to the clutch. Maybe a system like the Tekno Traktion Drive (but scaled up to 1/5th scale) would make the drive train last longer.
Smiles on your face for sure.
Love the new camera your using in the shop VERY CLEAR much better pixels. Keep up the GREAT work love everything about it your the best.
Agreed first thing I do is block the holes in the rim also.
You should do a bench test with the taped tires to show the difference. I always tape my tires and seal my rims, no water issues here. Good thing to, as I live in a GD Rain Forest.
Go for FLM 4ever cvd’s, best on the market 👍 and please do a castle XLX2/1100kv combo ( xlx2 now is super reliable) and pleaaaasse do some VITAVON upgrades 🙏 i like the fact that you didn’t vent your tires 👍 i did tape mine with kevlar tape 💪thank you for the video Kevin
😂 you’re the worst! I love it!
When you ran into that gate I broke out laughing. 😂
I came home sick from school and I saw u uploaded and it made my day better but also I wish I could afford an xmaxx
wow is it the car balancing or is it the skate park curve design that makes it landing so good :D
