I love how you do all your own work, that’s actually the best part in my opinion
Yes sir
"Jesus! I need a fat bas..." this had me howling 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Some of the monster truck guys have entire crews of people to work on their trucks. Love how everything you have done to your truck is all Kev! Great work!
Woooo lets go more Game Over content!!!!!
Your welding beads are beaut! 👌🏻
Where have you been man TH-cam has been boring without you
Yup🎉 love from sri lanka🙂🇱🇰🤎🎉
Forsho 😂👍
11:46 I was convinced after all that bodging of a setup, and the hand ground 45deg drill, it was all going to go wrong. Fair play for making that work so well!!!!
Kev, if ya ever buy yourself your own hydraulic-hose crimping machine, make sure the first set of hoses that you make for it, are 2 sets of replacement hoses for the crimping machine itself. Ask me how I know. 😆
You’re tire patch kit has me rolling 🥸
I love monster truck videos, which makes them hard to find, yet this guy has a hole series on them and I watched the series 2 times.
Kevin!
Loafers in the shop?!
What's next???? Flip flops and black socks?😂😂
Get some boots dude!
Large scale aircraft casually perched on the Lambo, love it 😄
More Kev!!!! Yessss! 💪
Love that you are living your dream bro
It's not quite as violent as banger racing. But a lot of fun.
You have a lot of perseverance to be fair.
It's fun watching you overcome and adapt to problems on the the truck with very limited tools for this kind of work.👍
Gotta love how the Lambo does double duty as a shelf. Proof that any flat surface in a shop gets turned into a table.
NOBODY has more fun than you!! great job on getting that tire on the bead!!!
Hey Kevin
A couple of ideas that might make it a bit easier in the future.
The Mag based drill is the go for the countersinking of the wheel nut holes and there is really nothing wrong with using extension sleeves but there is an easier way. You could use a milling cutter made for cutting dove tails. This would require the mag base on the other side of the wheel and removing the cutter for each hole then remounting it in the drill. Instead of pushing with the drill you would just pull it up to the required depth.
Also a bit of a heads up about the new hydraulic cylinders. If they have been assembled dry and seem to be stuck in the barrel like yours were you should really avoid rotating the rod and even hammering on them as well. Why? Well when dry the seals can stick so hard to the barrel that especially when rotating you can tear the edge off that does the sealing thus causing the piston to bypass or the gland end to leak. If you can you should always try to run the cylinder a couple of strokes with oil and then rotate the shaft once it has been bled even only turning once moving. After the first 5 or 10 strokes this isnt quite as important as the seals will be well lubed. I just connect them up to the oil if possible with the cylinder filled as high as convenient. It will move rapidly for the first few strokes until the air is out of the system so you should be aware. Seeing your jack for the truck you could easily add a couple of valves and other fittings to it so you could run the cylinders a little without firing up the truck.
I know you have already done both jobs and they worked out great but the info could help Future Kev so thats all it was for.
Cheers
thanks for the info dude, appreciate it :)
23:52 stop it kev 😂😂😂 was getting more drawn into the build and the information given then you edit a moment into perfection
I love the absolute pinnacle of form follows function
Good to see Vinnie and Ian. Truck is looking great. Winning 🙌
I used to live in Breckenridge Missouri. Was the home of Orange Crush Monster Truck. The owner would let us kids set in the truck. One of my fondest childhood memories.
4:30 I like how this guy is trying to fix a monster truck tire with tire prop’s I use on work to fix some small holes in car tires😂 I will be amazed if it will hold on a jump
Awesome stuff Kev! I will never complain about putting bead locks on my RC trucks together again! LOL
When we have problems like yours with the tyre, we just ram a few plugs in 😂😂
yooo finally monstertruck updates
Fantastic Kev,that drill was just awesome 😮 🇬🇧
I tore a 3cm hole in the side of my atv tire. I was 90km from my truck. Instuffed 6 of those tire plugs in and 3 weeks later it was still holding air. They are awesome.
I love watching the monster truck content, i even take notes while watching so i know the best tips for if i want to make a monster truck
I hope he does more cockpit vids this year! 🤞
So cool to see it from that perspective.
Stacking dimes on that jig 🔥
You are a grafter! Success doesn't come without effort!
For the split tyre, you need to get in to the back of the tyre, grind the back of the split slightly and then use a vulcanising patch.
Really incredible how much improvising, Jerry rigging, Jury rigging or what ever its called, oh sorry I meant customization Kevin does, how often it works and how good/skilled (lucky) he is at it. I mean sharpening a drill bit, no reshaping and sharpening a drill bit with an angle grinder, and much more. If you've ever done this kind of work you know how difficult it can be, very impressive.
I love the monster truck videos, keep it up kev❤️
Just like the beed locks on the XMax Kev !!😂😂
Kev, you could have just swapped the hoses for the backwards steering down at the rams themselves where you have the T's at instead of all the way up top. And next time, LABEL THE HOSES!!
Mann, I love the way you do the wrenching, your all MANN.😊😊😊😊😊
Throw a little flex seal on the split 😂 should be mint!!!
If the tire starts leaking again you will be looking for a OTR Tire repair/retread company to install a section repair on it and they will seal the crack with new rubber! Fairly cheap, farmers use this solution alot compared to new tires 💰💰 i hope this helps, i enjoy watching some large truck repairs with kev!
Guts effort Kev. Jesus Christ bless you and your projects old mate
I laughed so hard when he said he'd have to buy new wheels if he didn't fix the countersink... Why not just alter the lug nuts? Ahahhaha. He wayyyy overthought that mess for sure
how can i alter the nuts when there's no countersink mr einstein?
And you are my favourite TH-camr
Brings back memories. Back in the early 90's I was using Char-Lynne #211-1012 orbital steering valves on my trucks to give me 2.5 turns lock to lock.
As a tire tech who has put on many of those tires.... This hurts to watch. Good goin kev. Theres definitely better ways to do it but you got it all done. 🤣🤣
finally lets go
Welder here and kev even though you don’t give yourself credit you welds are so good. Definitely have the tig touch
Kev, roll the tyre outside and take out the valve, lie it on its backside of the rim and try and stand on it to try and get it seated up close to the bead, now get a can of brake cleaner, spray it inside the rim just past the bead and then spray a line of it on the wall, now get a lighter and ignite the trail left on the wall and move your arse out the way quick as poss, it'll basically ignite and push it back onto the bead, its a trick by for off roaders and truckers, there will be youtube videos showing it.
What's up Kev? I just learned this the other day my dad taught me but in this situation you can take a ratchet strap and run it around the tire like all the way around the tread and squeeze the tire and that'll make it seal up on the rim and then you can air it up and then let the ratchet strap loose
Good for you Kev! One man show with some help from good friends. Not an easy task to say the least.
Hello, your car was great, it was one of those giant cars ❤❤❤
Kevin Talbot, This is fantastic! I subscribed right away!
Love from sri lanka❤🇱🇰🙂
You can "cook" out the Methanol from the Engine Oil. Lots of Tractorpullers are doing that as well. But you probably knew that already... ;)
HELL YEAH IT'S WORTH IT ❕
Love the shoes really English looking! Great vlog thanks!
Try hooking up your steering lines backwards once and try to drive it, it’s ridiculously hard! I used to work in a case ih manufacturing plant that made the big sprayers. I was a tester and every once in a while the assemblers would hook the lines up wrong and we’d go to start it up and drive it out the door for the first time and it would be backwards. If there wasn’t time to fix it on the line we’d have to drive it like that over to our repair bays. It was so weird, your brain fights you from trying to turn the wrong way which is the right way 🤣
The monster trucks vids are some of my favorites! Great content! I’ve been a sub for a long time and am so happy for you making your dreams come true with this monster truck, you even got a rc Ramonator replica! Cheers Mate! Good Luck on the Show
Finally a new kev vid🎉
The tire isnt fixed kev. I used to work on straddle carriers.You need a mushroom repair kit that is pulled trough from the inside.This way the air pressure seals it better by pushing against it from the inside.
The way you fixed it by making the hole bigger.When driving and hitting bumbs it could pop out and deflate the tire really fast which is dangerous.
The repair kit you used is only good for straight holes in the running surface area.Sides and cheeks cant be repaired properly with this system.
Its called "Mushroom Tire repair kit." Make sure its for a tire like yours and not for a car tire. :) Good Luck
Kev I expect you missed the 'Top Gear' when they did the episode from Iceland in
winter. Those guys are crazy, they drove huge 4x4s with similar balloon tyres to
yours. They run them at 3psi on the glaciers, and they often come of the bead and
are useless. Their cure was similar to what a few commenters suggested, as
spraying lighter gas inside the tyre, taking a few steps back and throwing a lit
match at the wheel. The gas instantly ignites and blows the tyre back on the
bead at the same time. Best done OUTSIDE. It was hugely impressive to see, I
recommend finding the episode, it was with Clarkson in it.
Thanks for the MT content. You are the only one making it. Hope V2vids comes back to YT we need more MT content!
So in other words a out the box monster truck is the same as most RTR RC’s spend a fortune on it , & then have to send more upgrading it typical 😂😂😂😂 all worth in the end though 😂😂😂😂
You can also use shop air in the cylinder to extend it. Also be careful with hydraulic pressure in the lines and fittings. Hydraulic injection is no joke
Thanks for sharing!
Did you ever seen RCwizzard channel? Like 17yrs ago he started 1:4 scale grave digger project. Now project is frozen, which is sad. Its legendary for me and many others, because then it was beyond impressive. Even now real V8 so detailed as conley's is amazing. Would be nice if you or any good RC youtuber tried to buy it, and finish the legend. Probably the first such sized RC truck project on youtube. Now so much parts like axles are available, so it would be much easier to finish it. He probably won't sell it, but I felt like suggesting this :D
Can’t wait for Santa pod
mega wrenching session... RESPECT...
but got the ocd-chillz at 27:00... Wrong tire at front-right... treads backwards.
getting there Kev. operating an indie team isnt easy. Steering looks much smoother now. have you considered siping your tires to get rid of some of the weight? full lugs are good on dirt but a PITA on asphalt. should help with the cornering and handling as well the steering
That tire needs patched from the inside. And don't ever use gas to pop a tire back on the wheel bead. Use ether. Or starting fluid. Gas vapors are too violent for popping a tire back on a bead. Ether burns faster and is safer. Oh, and you block thing you keep referring to is a filter housing kev. Lol
I love the truck brother. You've done so much work to it. So many badass parts. Keep these vids coming man! 👍👍💯
we all like watching kev struggle. all the love kev awesome vids
Redfin models sells big car 1:1 scale body clips, put that on that would be absolutely EPIC!!
When installing those tire plugs I find it helps to put a small amount 5 min epoxy it acts as lubricant making it easier to slide in first and then when it dries, the plug tends to have a better seal on the tire
Iiiiaaaaannnnnnnn 😂 good to see the man back on the channel
Please take it to an off road park. Love to see it in mud and through proper obstacles
I’m so proud of captain bodge it . He gets the job done!
You can double those puncture repair strips even treble them and they hold!
Great content Kevin, some solid progress.
Hay kev you might be missing one of the basics for tig. Here is a re run.
Proper stick out.
Proper tungsten for the job.
DCEN for mild steel.
Minimum 11 cfh flow for mild.
Check your area for a source of air flow that can be pulling your gas away from the puddle.
Hey kev. It's kool to see how your Chanell has developed in to what it is today. I have been watching for 8 year's maby more. Roll on.
Glad to see some vinny get screen time ;p great cid look forward to the vid this monster takes off!
Have you guys never repaired a tire before!? You have to use some rubber cement glue stuff on that strip so the wound in the tire has glue in it too. Shoving in just a repair strip will leave gaps unless you subject that part of the tire to a bunch of heat. The strip will soften into a sort of rubber goo but regardless, you forgot to use the rubber cement! .. The rubber cement acts as a sort of lubricant to shove the strip in also. So you don't have to hit it with a hammer...
I know right, I was going crazy watching them pushing the plug in without any glue! LOL
I like those mushroom cap style plugs they're the bees knees
Kevin talbot I love your video
You almost did it the correct way when you were putting those bacon strips in the tire instead of at an ankle you got to do it straight and as closely as in line with the hole as possible once you get it shoved in enough, pull it out really quick or yank out the reamer quickly Love the videos. There's just something about them that makes them unique and special
Need heat/torch for the tire plugs. Light it up, let it burn for a few seconds, blow it out then shove it in. Lighting them on fire melts the plugs which when they cool off, they stick or melt to the rubber of the tire. Also, the first tool is a reemer. It's to make the hole bigger if needed for the plug. You use it like a saw (in and out quickly and repeatedly). Yea a "saw" is the most PG description for the kiddos.
We need Kevin in monster jam
When you plug it next time dont let the air out. It works better when you have air pushing back on the plug. You can put as many plugs as you want in it.
Use rubber cement on the tire plugs to help seal.
Love your content kev, But most of all love seeing your comments on other channel's on how awake you are. Pureblood m8.
boom!
Next time get a tie down strap for a truck trailer..wrap around and tighten till the middle of the tire touches the bead on each side
I really hope nobody dies playing a drinking game anytime Kev says hopefully 🎉
Those tyre repair kits are ace. I got a screw in a brand new £250 tyre and bunged one of these in and its been holding perfectly for the last 6 months. Worth every penny!
absolutely awesome kev loving it keep up the great work. can't wait to see more
Looking good dude! I should just buy your old stuff to get mine going but shipping would probably kill it. Look forward to the race and freestyle footage.
That thing is a beast with the big wheels on it!! Love the noise it makes!
Hahaha...I need a fat!!!... You're a legend kev!!...love the video's..
I've been a fan of monster trucks for nearly 35 years but my absolute favorite will always be BIGFOOT
Excellent work my friend.. great improvisation on your mag drill and counter sink for your lug nuts 💪🏼
been waiting for you videos fort you want goner post for a while i hope they is more to come 😁😁
