I use a dumborc on a few of my cars after watching a driftomanics video. it disappeared off so far and still had control great tranmitter for the money with buit in gyro. Great vid kev.👍
I got that radio as well. seems fine. just missing steering and throttle exponential, and the gyro is causing the car to wobble alot unless it's turned down. The traxxas tsm gyro works perfectly though. But yeah, the dumbo radio isn't too bad. good value for the money and good range.
👍😉I'm so glad you demonstrated that the gyro actually works. I ordered that transmitter & receiver just yesterday for a cheap r/c that lacks range. When I read the specs on the DumboRC TX and receiver, I was a bit skeptical, but ordered one anyways, just to give it a try. At this price, I had nothing to loose since the receiver I'll be replacing only gives me about 80 meters. I was looking for longer range and I'm also getting a built-in gyro for (as you would say...) "dirt cheap!" LoL!!! Thanks, great job Kevin!!!
Hey kev. Use a spotting scope set up at around 100 meters, use a phone or iPad with the camera on as set up into the eye piece so he can see it easily. He can eye it on the launch then go to the spotting scope to see way down the track!!! 🤙🏼
Whack a bit of "plumbers gold" around that aerial cable through the case. It's a cross between silicone and glue, it's the dogs bollocks. And you'll still be able to get it back out if you want
Yep, I brought this remote, the version without the gyro for my brother's 90k/h 1 meter long RC boat. Where we live we have a lake with a high vantage point so you can easily drive it half a km away if you wanted to. I did some research and watched some reviews and found this one to be perfect for long range and it is! No more range glitching, this remote does do the 500m range as advertised and possiblity more. Silly name, awesome remote.
Those futaba radios have ridiculous range. I think I get around 1000ft on my 4pl. Big squid rc did an article on the different major transmitters out at the time comparing a lot of the specs.
Just got the 4ch cheaper Dumbo and it is awesome too. Intended it for a cheap crawler but it ended up in my Outcast 4S to replace that ghod aweful stock Spektrum radio. Comes with 6ch receiver, range is stupidly long, no lag. Approx $20 US on Banggood
Way awesome, and how can anybody thumbs down 1 if your videos, personally I've enjoyed every video ever, guess they do have to suck or jelly, keep up the awesome work man
Here is an easy solution for your range problems, get a range extender. Install it on that spectrum radio. I did it. You'll have unlimited range. I'm taking about a 2watt range extender. How does 5000 feet plus, sounds to you?
2 things to (maybe) improve this car... 1. the gyro should be in the back of the car 2. some bright color on the body, so it's more (easy) visible when far away
@@zevi2000 usually if a car looses grip it starts at the back of the car. and the more the gyro is moved from the center of rotation, the faster it can detect movement, because the momentum is stronger. I hope you understand what I am trying to say :D english isn't my first language and trying to explain physics isn't really easy for me xD
Get the rc6gs is a remote with a 6 channel reciver. And comes with a built in gyro in the reciever. It's not dirt cheap buts sure beats the price of a futabab .
I started with racing quads and I'm shocked how underutilized fpv is in the the rc car truck community. The transmitters are horrible. There are transmitters that cost well over 500$ and only six channels wtf. All I ask is for a pistol grip style radio with a trainer port to use headtracking. I dont like swapping in and out the centering spring in my taranis to fpv my cars.
On the traxxas controller you can adjust the little knob to activate a type of stability control and it makes the car easier to control and steer at high speed. Not being able to use that by using a different controller will make controlling the car much harder.
0:31 'Stood on the roof of my car' okay given the lambo you drive I'm impressed! (Lambo in cruise? Pat steering?) Hopefully dumborc does the job hard to beat for the $'s - I'm thinking about 20% on the gyro dial should be enough. Been out testing the 8S infraction tonight...
Hey Kev i would recommend you the hpi tf 40 transmitter and rf 40 receiver with 1 mod that you need to do to the transmitter just rip off the casing on the antenna of the transmitter and put a heat shrink on it so it doesnt move around and here is your more than 1/4 mile setup
Try the Radiolink AT10II. It goes very far. It doesn’t have a gyro I think but you don’t need one if you’re adjusting the toe correct. It will pull itself straight
rc.obsession cheers dude, should be close, I need to have a play with the throttle profile first. Crashes were due to the throttle gyro turned up too much cutting the power and transferring weight forwards
Been doing speed runs on my slash 4x4 (modified) but running into cut out issues with the TQI transmitter. I'm running the telemetry expander kit from traxxas which plugs directly into that special port on the receiver. Kev could you recommend any transmitter receiver combo's that will give me more distance but that also works with the telemetry expander? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Swap over towards airplane trans & receiver they go way further no need for testing as they are tested already and proven to go miles and no delays, anyways what ever works , any cliffhanger is good 💡
if you put an airplane spextrum radio in the car itll have 3/4 of mile range, but youll have to drive it with 2 stick transmitter....thats what i used bk in the 80s
Not taking it out in the wet? But it looks like it would aqua plane so very well. I say 'Put some paddle tyres on it & try a 100mph+ water crossing'.... That would be an 'interesting' watch for sure.
Can you not use like a trainer set up? Two transmitters, 2 people and the master takes control halfway down the track. Solves the vision problem too. You may have to use normal transmitters not car ones. Orange receivers from Hobbyking are cheaper but work just as good i use them in planes. You can get a long range one with 2 ariels and even plug in satellite device. Just an idea.
@@KevinTalbotTV eg. 2x Spektrum DX6 transmitters with wireless trainer option. One becomes the master the other the slave. The slave has control up until the master (half way up the track) holds in the bind button of which then diverts control to his 'master' transmitter to continue the run. You would need verbal contact maybe walkies to copy the throttle postion.
Why dont you try the new noble nb4 controler you are going to unbox .its got amazing range and a signal strength in the top corner of the screen its hands down better than all the ones you tried. The XO1 deserves a good controller to make a fair race
Hey kev I am in need of a traxxas reviver temp sensor and the WiFi module for my e revo because I ripped the antenna and lost the end and I have a far larger motor so the temp sensor and the WiFi module would be perfect
Believe it or not I had the same lag problems with genuine Spektrum receivers. How I solved it? Chinese Spektrum compatible receivers lol. Funny how the knock off actually works better than genuine at a fraction of the price!
For some odd reason, my Dumbo rc remote doesn't work properly with the vxl 3s system. the turning and forward throttle works great. It's just the reverse only works for a moment, then searches for a signal even if i recalibrate the esc and adjust the trim. Not like I need reverse that much, but it's still a weird issue I had.
I'm not going to take it out in the wet anyway. -> Cuts to driving in the wet. :)
I was just gonna say this too😂🤣
2:08 Kev says "I am going to loose the waterproofness but I'm not going to be using it in the wet anyway."
2:47 Kev says "the roads wet at the moment"
You should have some body be in the lambo and control the rc from there it would not cut out and he would get a better visual
I use a dumborc on a few of my cars after watching a driftomanics video. it disappeared off so far and still had control great tranmitter for the money with buit in gyro. Great vid kev.👍
Yup we need more reviews of that cheap beauty
I got that radio as well. seems fine. just missing steering and throttle exponential, and the gyro is causing the car to wobble alot unless it's turned down. The traxxas tsm gyro works perfectly though. But yeah, the dumbo radio isn't too bad. good value for the money and good range.
Mhm weird mine doesnt do that mine works better than tsm
@Matt Biggs glad it was of use!

Im sure u going to love it i use it on my kraton 4s
You should get a body the exact same at the real lambo
i would if they made one
@@KevinTalbotTV
Custom paint maybe? Do it yourself! Invest in a good airbrush setup and some paints!
Q is legit. Don't trust the media. He need the plastic bit molded like a lambo not just paint
Hey kev. Use a spotting scope set up at around 100 meters, use a phone or iPad with the camera on as set up into the eye piece so he can see it easily. He can eye it on the launch then go to the spotting scope to see way down the track!!! 🤙🏼
Can you please put a link in the description for your Lamborghini? Did you get it from Banggood?
Haha
Whack a bit of "plumbers gold" around that aerial cable through the case. It's a cross between silicone and glue, it's the dogs bollocks. And you'll still be able to get it back out if you want
Hey Kev. I just wanted to say I am super excited about the race between the X01 and Lambo! Great content, keep it up!
I think the race will be so close
Great vid as always kev
Real life trophy truck vs UDR.
Real life airplane vs rc airplane
What happened!!!! Tumble Wumble !! It was the crosswind Kev 👍
Do an unboxing and test run of arrma infraction 1/7 scale rc truck
This project makes me very excited :)

Kev, why don’t you have someone in the Lamborghini driving the xo1
cant see behind
@@KevinTalbotTV Don't need to !
Kevin Talbot why not
Kevin Talbot fpv!
Kevin the best rc driver by a kid
I enjoy your content!! Keep posting and I will keep watching and liking!!
In this video, Lamborghini goes to the Moon!!
Futaba for Range mate that's what all the speed runners use or range extender for your spectrum
Those futaba radios have ridiculous range. I think I get around 1000ft on my 4pl. Big squid rc did an article on the different major transmitters out at the time comparing a lot of the specs.
You can use lithium batteries in the dumbo radio and run a bit higher voltage to get more range.
I've got a 3s lipo in mine Futaba 3 p.m.
I have found that my older transmitters with the telescopic antennas are still the best. Thanks kev. great video.
I seen a seller on eBay who has 3 of these xo-1 for $344 as rollers with bodies, I might have to pick one up n put in a killer system
yes
Put offroad tires on it or bash it in the skatepark
Great goin Kev. Love watching the figuring out bits. Can’t wait for the race!!
Kev, we bought that same combo from Banggood, using it for the Mrs.’s Tamiya Lunchbox red edition. She loves it
Just got the 4ch cheaper Dumbo and it is awesome too. Intended it for a cheap crawler but it ended up in my Outcast 4S to replace that ghod aweful stock Spektrum radio. Comes with 6ch receiver, range is stupidly long, no lag. Approx $20 US on Banggood
I had a dream that you came to my house, and i accidentally broke one of ur crawlers, and u got MAD!
Ethan Peterson LOL
cool
And it can also hold up to 10 different models of the same remote you just have to get a different receiver for each rc.
5:55 I was gonna suggest the DumboRC X6 and then... Oh. You already have it. Lol. I hear that it has a range of 400-500m.
Way awesome, and how can anybody thumbs down 1 if your videos, personally I've enjoyed every video ever, guess they do have to suck or jelly, keep up the awesome work man
Can’t wait for the race, it would awesome. Funny enough, I was actually looking at the same remote earlier lol

Its an expensive radio you should not need external things to improve it...
It's a good thing you thought about the radio range before the race, hope you get to race soon.
Was gonna tell you to try the new radio u got earlier since they claimed 500 meters.
I think its the radio link or dumbo rc
Please review Futaba 3PV, radio & receiver. Different system, does it have good range?
im so excited for next video i cant wait to see the drag race :)
great vid kev i love cheap stuff lol
2 things to (maybe) improve this car...
1. the gyro should be in the back of the car
2. some bright color on the body, so it's more (easy) visible when far away
What's the advantage of having the gyro on the back? Is it because there would technically be more movement in the rear that it can sense?

@@screeny30 Yeah that 100% makes sense. That is what I figured
Which traxxas rc car do you like the UDR or E-Revo2.0
Cant wait for the big race...
The Radiolink RG6GS will reach 600 meters, and it has a Gyro built in it also has multi channel mixing so you can use it with a tank or boat
Both have the identical receiver i think one is rebranded if im not mistaken
Good luck kev
I bought a DumboRC X6 for my WPL C24. Converting it to proportional steering.
Something interesting about the spektrum receivers, is that there waterproof on their own. The pcb of the receiver is conformal coated.
cool video Kev,thanks for sharing
Get the rc6gs is a remote with a 6 channel reciver. And comes with a built in gyro in the reciever. It's not dirt cheap buts sure beats the price of a futabab .
Why the heck dont you mount and fpv camera on it, then you dont need all this hassel with in line of sight crapp 👍🏼🙂
I started with racing quads and I'm shocked how underutilized fpv is in the the rc car truck community. The transmitters are horrible.

It’s just the same as a gyro
Kev review and test a bsd racing buggy
kev mate, have the driver of the xo1 in the passenger seat of the lambo, they will never get far apart and eliminates all the radio or vision issues
You ought to try the Radiolink RC6GS, 600 meter range.
Isn't it more of a hypercar than a supercar, can't wait for Paddlesworth, it's super close
na I think hyper cars are 1m+
0:31 'Stood on the roof of my car' okay given the lambo you drive I'm impressed! (Lambo in cruise? Pat steering?) Hopefully dumborc does the job hard to beat for the $'s - I'm thinking about 20% on the gyro dial should be enough. Been out testing the 8S infraction tonight...

The radio of my arrma outcast goes really really far! Maybe you should try it out?
Drag strips are sticky so Alex should be fine.
rc.obsession cheers dude, should be close, I need to have a play with the throttle profile first. Crashes were due to the throttle gyro turned up too much cutting the power and transferring weight forwards
You could use a radio and transmitter for a rc aircraft. You'd have distance for days
235 WOOHOO FROM TEXAS, COMMENT 68, GOOD LUCK. 👍👍👍😎😎😎
sit in the passenger seat on the lambo and race side by side. if you can hold transmitter in your hands on the 2 g force of the lambo

the x01 is a BEAST

Kev Open the receiver longer the ant and controler
Hey Kev, have a look at Traxxas xo-1 speedrun 191kmh / 118.6mph @ BIC video. 😉
Not taking it out in the wet? But it looks like it would aqua plane so very well. I say 'Put some paddle tyres on it & try a 100mph+ water crossing'.... That would be an 'interesting' watch for sure.

In the good old tamiya days our controllers had 8 aa batteries more power not like what your using ,may help ?
can you drive behind the car so you don't need to have a massive range?
Hey kev I am in need of a traxxas reviver temp sensor and the WiFi module for my e revo because I ripped the antenna and lost the end and I have a far larger motor so the temp sensor and the WiFi module would be perfect

Will the dumboRC work with a VXL3?
Believe it or not I had the same lag problems with genuine Spektrum receivers. How I solved it? Chinese Spektrum compatible receivers lol. Funny how the knock off actually works better than genuine at a fraction of the price!
If you do it on a sunny day it’ll gain you more range cause no clouds or interfearance
Amazing video car I think the Lamborghini will take it
You should put an fpv setup on it.
I would love to afford a traxxas car asspeccialy an X-MAXX 😁😁
