Energy absorption has been the challenge for these toy designers for decades. They're still struggling to keep up with the performance increases. Weight is the great balancing act because additional energy absorption results in increased weight which requires yet more energy absorption in all directions.
He never put the body on the right 😂. You are supposed to slide there front underneath the front shock tower. But yeah, the body gets destroyed easily with a all those concrete upside down landings 😂😂😂
I really love how that body looks because of how much it resembles truck like the f450 which is one of my favorite trucks of all time, though the lack of durability is kinda dissappinting
Thx Kevin, Nice vid. Suggestion: how about creating the “Talbot durability scale” where you give each unit a rating based on some of the objective measures that when all added up gives you the Talbot durability scale? I’d love to work with you on that as I’ve done this type of work professionally. Like the THX certification in the Home theatre world, imagine a RC truck with the Talbot durability certification…
to fix the drveshaft from popping out, place like a few centimeters of nitro tubing onto both front shock shafts. When you brake, your truck leans forward so hard that it makes the perfect angle for your driveshaft to pop out.
Just adjust the droop with the droop screw on the arm. Fixed mine from popping out. Best part is you don't have to take anything apart. Just lift the arm to access the screw on the bottom of the arm.
I liked the bumper and suspension durability tests dropping off the balcony. Can we see the Xmaxx put through those tests too? it would be cool to see how it stacks up.
That RC car sounds like me, Kevin. My mom loves me, but my dad thought I was a lemon when I was a kid. He grew to love me and my major flaw when I grew out of it.
Nice work as always Kev. Good to see the gang again too. You shouldn't have to, but if you give that standard body the ole Kev Shoe Goo and webbing tape treatment, it might not break as easy. Very impressive chassis from Arrma though gotta say.
Pro-Line has the best tire glue i think. Plus its easy to use, iy comes with a few extra of the thin long flexible nozzles. But with those nozzles you can lay a bead of glue down evenly in a few steps around the whole wheel, as you lift up each section. The small bottle is still going for me after like 5 sets of tires later and i only got a new one because it was basically done and i was out of the nozzle pieces. Normally i wash them in hot water after and blow thru them and usually im able to reuse them and it keeps the bottle from getting clogged. Also make sure to keep the glue of the Bottle cap threads or itll get stuck

AWESOME BASH!!! ngl, I was worried when you hit the skatepark, but she performed like a champ! Arrma just keeps the hits coming!!!! Thanks for posting!
I’ve recently gotten back into rc cars and my first one was a cen reaper and I just brought an Traxxas xrt limited edition black. Your channel is the only one I watch and I love it got my raffles in already 👌🏿👌🏿💪🏿🤙🏿🤙🏿🤙🏿
Put a little piece of fuel tubing on both sides of the drive shafts, it helps keep theem centered and hopefully they wont pop out so easy.. I've used this trick many times racing and I never had a driveshaft pop out but I raced all Losi, I can't speak for Arma, lol Yes I'm a bit of a Losi fan boy 😁 when it comes to racing that is.......
it is getting too little gas at the low speed nozzle if there is such a thing, or there is something wrong with the carburettor the needle valve setting
2 years of bashing my 3s Big Rock, no cracks in the body.. 1 roll over in my 6s Big Rock and I have the same rip up the side of the windshield that Kev got at the beginning of this video. Wish I had done the old drywall tape and shoe goo or something. Got it gorilla taped up now and hasn't gotten worse yet..
I had a 3s for a really long time and it was a great truck. The big rock deserved an upgrade. I spent probably 800 bucks upgrading mine easily did 80 mph
Good fun and reviews . My only criticism is the constant use of battery impact drivers . Generally not needed and have a habit of ruining bolts and threads definitely not good for newbies to get into bad habits thinking that’s how it’s done and a trendy thing to have . Peeps just get a nice 1/4 socket set . And some proper screwdrivers please . 🙄

Love the bashing videos
Yeah I like to
Kev ur awesome I'm in us would love one of ur rcs
What's the promo code
If it takes Kevin Talbot more than five minutes to destroy it then it will last me a few years.
@@Boogie_the_catbro it was a joke-

Last me forever probably lol
This here ☝🏼
Facts
RC cars are enough to make a grown man enjoy his life.
Facts 💯
Amen
fact
And a good wife to approve of every rc car her husband buys.
Cheaper than a wife n kids 😂
3:12 While we are up here might as well test the bumpers 😂🤣😂 Kev is brutal 😁
Hilarious
Nothing's better than a snow day and watching Kev
Exactly
Fr same
its snowing rn for me lol fr
@@s109apache7iwkiUjauh i love 💗 you more than life is worth to
The fact that it didn't break when it landed on that back wheel is pretty impressive.

Claire's level of fun is approximately 10 kilometers below the permafrost level :D 12:56
lol poor girl, she got good footage though.

Cool idea!
Cant wait for the chinese parody versions ;) tooboo scale tesded?...
No surprise you love the truck. I believe it’s basically what you turned your Fireteam into.
to fix the drveshaft from popping out, place like a few centimeters of nitro tubing onto both front shock shafts. When you brake, your truck leans forward so hard that it makes the perfect angle for your driveshaft to pop out.
Or could you adjust the front springs/shocks so they’re stiffer? Would that work?
Just adjust the droop with the droop screw on the arm. Fixed mine from popping out. Best part is you don't have to take anything apart. Just lift the arm to access the screw on the bottom of the arm.
Made the mistake of looking up one of the motorcycles he had on, now all my apps are advertising them... ahhhh😮
I wonder what the cops are saying reviewing the CCTV footage and seeing a rc car fly by ahah (8:37) 😂
Been waiting for a Talbot Durability Test on this rig! Thank you sir for such great content! You have inspired me so much over the last couple years!
Honestly, I probably wouldn't watch this channel if you respected the rc's 😂 absolutely love it, good job mate!
Kevin them shoes. WHAT ARE THOSE 😂
I liked the bumper and suspension durability tests dropping off the balcony. Can we see the Xmaxx put through those tests too? it would be cool to see how it stacks up.
YES NEW VIDEO! R.I.P Body Though 😂 love these kind of videos
that extra length ofthe chassie seems to do good and keep the car from flipping and flopping on its roof.
LOVE ❤️ YOUR VIDS KEV I ALWAYS IN YOUR LIVE STREAMS ❤❤❤
That RC car sounds like me, Kevin. My mom loves me, but my dad thought I was a lemon when I was a kid. He grew to love me and my major flaw when I grew out of it.
Hey Kevin my son and I love your videos on Rc cars keep up the good work!!!!!!!!
KEV THE GOAT 🐐 ❤❤
Loool bumper test,😂I'm really impressed by this truck to the level you took it, epic!😅😂
*launches an RC car 30 feet into the air and then: "Well, I guess this one is not so durable."
Do not use high speed gearing off road
Kev: TO THE MOON
It's not illegal so why not 😂
Nice work as always Kev. Good to see the gang again too. You shouldn't have to, but if you give that standard body the ole Kev Shoe Goo and webbing tape treatment, it might not break as easy.
Very impressive chassis from Arrma though gotta say.
For those of you in the U.K., we in America call that "trailer hitch" a.....fifth wheel!
12:27 and that boys and girls is how the X-Rock was born 😂
This video should be titled **What NOT to do with a 1000$+ RC**
Love your videos hahaha long time fan
Everyone I see with RC's is around 40! It's like we all grew up in the 90's and said when I grow up I'm get the best RCs!
great vid kev! what tire glue do you use?
Pro-Line has the best tire glue i think. Plus its easy to use, iy comes with a few extra of the thin long flexible nozzles. But with those nozzles you can lay a bead of glue down evenly in a few steps around the whole wheel, as you lift up each section.

Im so glad ive been watching these videos for so long. Keeps me getting more & more rc cars. Thanks Kevin 😂
Hey Kev,just wondering what rc car would you recommend to a beginner?
8:30 That's one way to fix a bent chassis! 😳🤣
1:38 "is that like the xmaxx body clips *tries to use the trailer hitch as a xmaxx body clip* " lol its a trailer hitch for a gooseneck trailer lol
Wait it had an actual hole in it?! It is actually a functional gooseneck trailer hitch for an rc lol!
hey kevin i have a question do you have a drill bit for the xrt
The balcony drop was EPIC HAHAH :D
Yo Kevin!!
Where is that pump track/park you are at? Looks ace!
Great video 🤙🏻
The Eskimo Pie eClaire looks angry!! 🤣
That body looks amazing!!
You're always so enthusiastic I have to take a nap after one of your reviews... ha, ha, ha...
That guy singing in the background is ruddy hillarious 😂😂😂
I noticed on the first drop the front suspension seems to break but wasn’t mentioned lol
My dream is to have a channel at least as half as entertaining as you kevin. Keep it up.
That RC car sounds like me, Kevin. My mom loves me, but my dad thought I was a lemon when I was a kid.😂 He grew to love me and my major flaw when I grew out of it. 😂
Best smoke effect ever!👌
Stempy! Even just a few seconds of him has me cracking up. 😆
Die Karosse taugt nich!!
Are the comps only for UK, im from Australia just wondering, great review by the way as you really push these cars.
worldwide :)
AWESOME BASH!!! ngl, I was worried when you hit the skatepark, but she performed like a champ! Arrma just keeps the hits coming!!!! Thanks for posting!
I’ve recently gotten back into rc cars and my first one was a cen reaper and I just brought an Traxxas xrt limited edition black. Your channel is the only one I watch and I love it got my raffles in already 👌🏿👌🏿💪🏿🤙🏿🤙🏿🤙🏿
Arrma red has grown on me, but a blacked out interior makes the nicer bodies stand out more.
Haha this is where I come to get ideas and to know what rc is best! Side note can I win your contest if I’m in Canada?
You are a real uplift when the world is in the dumps thanks for brightening my day.
Put a little piece of fuel tubing on both sides of the drive shafts, it helps keep theem centered and hopefully they wont pop out so easy..

Where do you put on the dog bone axle? Im just trying to picture what youre saying because id like to try it...
Thanks
A few of my mates electric rc ,me ive still got a baja ,love it but she is abit to loud ,so going to keep entering 🤞🤞🤞
Hopefully arrma puts these on the crazy sale like they did on the fireteam for 399 last year fingers cross lol
😮 I'm surprised it took one hell of a beating😮
10:53 PERFECT!
Hit a double backflip! Love the Channel!
Beast, took it like a champ. Awesome bro 👊
8s in da house!!
Bro , which one is good , kraton 6s or big rock 6s ?
When is the redbull F1 rc car vid coming?? Been excited to see it in action for months
Can you please try the hiper pro speed car
hey Kev, I was just wondering if you could do a review on the Redcat Gen 8. I kind of want to see you test more crawlers tested.
I live in the U.S but rock on U.K!!!! Kevin!
I love them, the jumps are too good, excellent
Over 20 years ago when I first started bashing skateparks, I knew it would become popular. We need a league like monster jam
This is Awesome! I didn’t know there was a 6s version of the big rock! ❤
Nice looking body. But a bad choice to put on a basher. Sorta makes it more expensive cus you'll maybe need another body for bashing.
Can't wait for the Xmaxx ultimate video!
The best rc channel on the planet
👍👍
No better rc TH-camr then kev, love your vids
Hi Kevin do you ship to the US?
I like the black, black looks great on most vehicles, your Lamborghini would look so sick in black.
it is getting too little gas at the low speed nozzle if there is such a thing, or there is something wrong with the carburettor the needle valve setting
Bounced it off the roof 😂😂 saved the chassis from getting seriously bent 😂
I have the 3s Big Rock and I love it. When you pulled the 6s version out of the box, I really liked the color and body style.
When are you getting the off road sausage out again?
Jesus Kevin..short of flying it right in to a pole....oh, wait..8:42...lol
Love these videos you do Kev just amazing bro
2 years of bashing my 3s Big Rock, no cracks in the body.. 1 roll over in my 6s Big Rock and I have the same rip up the side of the windshield that Kev got at the beginning of this video. Wish I had done the old drywall tape and shoe goo or something. Got it gorilla taped up now and hasn't gotten worse yet..
At 5 mins 32 secs I saw speakers in your shop, what are your plans with those Kev?
I can't wait to see your fix for the drive shaft popping out.
The higher profile tire will give more grip off road but that truck is pretty amazing how tuff it is
It looks like a solid hard Truck not too bad outside of the body
I had a 3s for a really long time and it was a great truck. The big rock deserved an upgrade. I spent probably 800 bucks upgrading mine easily did 80 mph
hey i'm starting to get into rc cars, any tips or recommendations for cars?
You are the best RC analysts on
Wait til Proline comes out with a body for these. I know they got one for the Kraton. I’ve had mine for years and it still hasn’t split
Best RC channel in the WORLD
The handling looks good
Had Claire frozen solid in that seat 😂
Good fun and reviews . My only criticism is the constant use of battery impact drivers . Generally not needed and have a habit of ruining bolts and threads definitely not good for newbies to get into bad habits thinking that’s how it’s done and a trendy thing to have . Peeps just get a nice 1/4 socket set . And some proper screwdrivers please . 🙄
I've been waiting for your review. I am surprised about the body but it looks epic great video kev.
The senton throwback was nice
100 likes ❤❤ please
When are you moving into that place over in the Isle of Man??
I always watch you from the Philippines
