@Boogie_the_cat Facts i have a vorteks a senton and a vendetta after about 2 weeks the diff broke and had to buy a metal one which havent broke and its been about a year and a half
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
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.
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.
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…
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.
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 😂😂😂
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.
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.......
All they have to do is dimple dye these aluminum chassis. I put 4, 2 inch dimple dye in the chassis of my Kraton and it made an absolutely ASTRONOMICAL difference. In case you dont know, dimple dye are specifically designed to add structural integrity to flat pieces of metal. Not to look cool, even though it really does look cool as.
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.

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 . 🙄
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!
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
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
Kevin-"do you want to win of one of my RC cars" Me-"no man i'm good, i've seen how you drive." The abuse that it survived was amazing. They got a winner their. I'm no arma fan but if looking for bash equipment, could you go wrong?
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
That front rear upper hinge pin is always the first part I change. It's about the only faulty suspension piece. I like on non exb models to upgrade a couple exb parts right away. The upper hinge pin retainers, make my own spacers, exb chassis braces, fill the diffs to my liking, and a exb servo mount with a better servo. That will get you started to a killer sesh!
On my RC car my front right drive shaft popped out once and never went back I'm for more than 5 minutes I bought new dog bones and cups but it still popped out every 5 minutes or so. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I think you should get a Latraxx 1/18 scale desert prerunner. I have one but I think the gears are fully shredded. I mostly want to see if it will happen to you. BTY, I didn't go ham on it, it just cut out and lost drive.
That thing is a beast, looked so stable taking all those bumps at high speed; almost like a trophy truck! EDIT: Are you ever going to review the Mammuth thing again? I haven't laughed that much at many YT videos!
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 👌🏿👌🏿💪🏿🤙🏿🤙🏿🤙🏿
Hello Kev, great channel and content. Is there a way of measuring how much force/impact the cars take when they land as a comparison between models? Thanks 🙂
🚗Win one of my cars raffall.com/kevin_talbot
🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥰😍🥺🤑😎
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.
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
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.

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.
Claire's level of fun is approximately 10 kilometers below the permafrost level :D 12:56
lol poor girl, she got good footage though.
that extra length ofthe chassie seems to do good and keep the car from flipping and flopping on its roof.
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.
Honestly, I probably wouldn't watch this channel if you respected the rc's 😂 absolutely love it, good job mate!

Over 20 years ago when I first started bashing skateparks, I knew it would become popular. We need a league like monster jam
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!
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!
Do not use high speed gearing off road
Kev: TO THE MOON
It's not illegal so why not 😂
For those of you in the U.K., we in America call that "trailer hitch" a.....fifth wheel!
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.
I noticed on the first drop the front suspension seems to break but wasn’t mentioned lol
Arrma red has grown on me, but a blacked out interior makes the nicer bodies stand out more.
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.
You are a real uplift when the world is in the dumps thanks for brightening my day.
I wonder what the cops are saying reviewing the CCTV footage and seeing a rc car fly by ahah (8:37) 😂
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
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 Kev,just wondering what rc car would you recommend to a beginner?
Kevin them shoes. WHAT ARE THOSE 😂
All they have to do is dimple dye these aluminum chassis. I put 4, 2 inch dimple dye in the chassis of my Kraton and it made an absolutely ASTRONOMICAL difference. In case you dont know, dimple dye are specifically designed to add structural integrity to flat pieces of metal. Not to look cool, even though it really does look cool as.
12:27 and that boys and girls is how the X-Rock was born 😂
My dream is to have a channel at least as half as entertaining as you kevin. Keep it up.

Im so glad ive been watching these videos for so long. Keeps me getting more & more rc cars. Thanks Kevin 😂
KEV THE GOAT 🐐 ❤❤
Stempy! Even just a few seconds of him has me cracking up. 😆
Die Karosse taugt nich!!
I can't wait to see your fix for the drive shaft popping out.
8:30 That's one way to fix a bent chassis! 😳🤣
The higher profile tire will give more grip off road but that truck is pretty amazing how tuff it is
great vid kev! what tire glue do you use?

Made the mistake of looking up one of the motorcycles he had on, now all my apps are advertising them... ahhhh😮

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..
Hey Kevin my son and I love your videos on Rc cars keep up the good work!!!!!!!!
Loool bumper test,😂I'm really impressed by this truck to the level you took it, epic!😅😂
Yo Kevin!!
Where is that pump track/park you are at? Looks ace!
Great video 🤙🏻
I like the black, black looks great on most vehicles, your Lamborghini would look so sick in black.
hey kevin i have a question do you have a drill bit for the xrt
I had a good laugh from this video. Thanks Kev. That thing took an absolutely beating. Just got the Grom to review, and so far it's pretty awesome.
Review for who ? Your 3 subs 😂
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.
The Eskimo Pie eClaire looks angry!! 🤣
*launches an RC car 30 feet into the air and then: "Well, I guess this one is not so durable."
That body looks amazing!!
10:53 PERFECT!
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
This video should be titled **What NOT to do with a 1000$+ RC**
Love your videos hahaha long time fan
Kevin-"do you want to win of one of my RC cars"
Me-"no man i'm good, i've seen how you drive."
The abuse that it survived was amazing. They got a winner their. I'm no arma fan but if looking for bash equipment, could you go wrong?
That guy singing in the background is ruddy hillarious 😂😂😂
Best smoke effect ever!👌
Are the comps only for UK, im from Australia just wondering, great review by the way as you really push these cars.
worldwide :)
Only kevin would be shocked that a plastic body would crack after jumping 15 feet in the air and landing direcrly on the fender.
In freezing temperatures no less
It cracked on the 1st tiny roll. But hey it’s your money if you’re happy having to keep buying bodies who am I to say
@KevinTalbotTV fair enough, thanks for taking time to reply. Keep up the content 👌🏾
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.
Jesus Kevin..short of flying it right in to a pole....oh, wait..8:42...lol
what kind of batteries do you use? Thinking of getting a rc car but don't know what kind of batter company to buy from for a 6s.
YES NEW VIDEO! R.I.P Body Though 😂 love these kind of videos
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
I really like the Big Rock 6s but I'm going to wait for an EXB version. Hopefully they'll make an EXB version......
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?
Best RC channel in the WORLD
At 5 mins 32 secs I saw speakers in your shop, what are your plans with those Kev?
No better rc TH-camr then kev, love your vids
😮 I'm surprised it took one hell of a beating😮
The balcony drop was EPIC HAHAH :D
Bro , which one is good , kraton 6s or big rock 6s ?
I live in the U.S but rock on U.K!!!! Kevin!
Kev what do you think about this vs the Traxxas sledge?
Kev just asking could you get a losi tenacity db pro please
Hit a double backflip! Love the Channel!
Nice one Kevin, You certainly didn't hold back testing the durability on the 6s Bigrock. Every video I've seen it's one very tough and very fast RC.
That front rear upper hinge pin is always the first part I change. It's about the only faulty suspension piece. I like on non exb models to upgrade a couple exb parts right away. The upper hinge pin retainers, make my own spacers, exb chassis braces, fill the diffs to my liking, and a exb servo mount with a better servo. That will get you started to a killer sesh!
These next generation Spektrum servos are actually super good. They switched to a more popular vendor and they've been working fantastic so far.
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
I'll wait for the tough body version.
The best rc channel on the planet
👍👍
The Big Rock 3s was my first aarma awesome truck I can imagine the 6s is even better would love one for myself someday
Arrma or awesome. You can’t have both. Arrma is crap
On my RC car my front right drive shaft popped out once and never went back I'm for more than 5 minutes I bought new dog bones and cups but it still popped out every 5 minutes or so.

Very nice! but the body has cracked since you threw it from the balcony
They should make the bodies like the senton. Flexible
hey i'm starting to get into rc cars, any tips or recommendations for cars?
It looks like a solid hard Truck not too bad outside of the body
Oooo I love the red!!
When are you getting the off road sausage out again?
When is the redbull F1 rc car vid coming?? Been excited to see it in action for months
Hello Kev, great channel and content. Is there a way of measuring how much force/impact the cars take when they land as a comparison between models? Thanks 🙂
Gotta be a gizmo that measures acceleration and deceleration
100% the Whistlingdiesel of RC. Love my Big block 😂
