why does it say *Worst RC Cars of 2023* but you are talking about worst RC cars of 2022
I filmed it a few days ago when it was 2022. These are my least favourite rc cars that you can buy today and its 2023 now! Lots of people asking same question hope that clears it up!
@@KevinTalbotTV Link to best cars not showing
@@KevinTalbotTV I was a bit confused also so thanks for clearing that up Kev and I totally agree about the Mammuth I couldn't justify spending $1600 on a RC that's not better than a RC half it's price or less lol. I just don't see that car ever being better than a Infraction 🤔
Cmon guy it's called common sense.
Kev, you should try out a CEN Reeper, 1/7
To be honest, loads of TH-camrs are afraid to be honest because its a freebie deal. I've not bought a single rc car without watching your review. Hands down on ya Kev for carrying the integrity out dude!!
I agree! being dishonest to their viewers is killing there channel, they would be so much better off to buy the car themselves, be honest and get loads of views! Why try and save a few hundred on a toy then loose thousands in views makes no sence to me!
Kev, can you call them out?😂 would be funny and get a million+ views easily
I am pretty new to YT and agree totally. I review them on my own $ and get to say whatever the experience I have. I've already got company asking for deletion and I said correct your problem first and get back to me.
@@customtoyrevolution good response to the company. Don't fall victim to their predatory attacks on you. In fact you can even poke back and threaten to release communications with the company while including a link to your video as proof that their product is bad. And show how the company wants to hide all the negative feedback from customers instead of fixing the problem. That alone will hipefully help give them the motivation to make changes that improve the product.
@@KevinTalbotTV "Being dishonest to viewers"
"WORST RC CARS OF 2023" it's only been 2023 for 12 days homie, who's the liar here?
If the Mammuth is good now, send it to Kevin. Otherwise I call BS. This whole situation is shady.
As soon as Kev mentioned the company wants to do their own testing and make their own vids I knew it was a BS product.
Yup. Im pretty sure Kev single handedly killed their company with probably the shortest test drive ever. 🤣
Them not sending it back is really all we needed to see. Hopefully they dont sell any more. 🤣
The only way to fix that car is to put aluminium and carbon fiber things, not 3d printed BS.
@@ManuelOrtizification ahh, he holds no fault in the matter. Companies need to learn that it's unacceptable to sell beta or prototype products. Giving them to people to test is fine it's a good way to get some early advertising and backing and see if you missed anything, selling them is BS. Taking them back and not following up is BS. The company destroyed itself.
The problem is, the Mammoth was designed to work in a frictionless environment, like space.
"We wont be sending them to youtubers" so in other words they dont want the problems to be shown XD
Yeah that to me shows that they'd rather deceive their customers than make an actual good product.
I thought you were being overly kind Kevin. No one should ever accuse you of not being fair. All of these products are junk. And the Mammoth, holy cow that doesn’t even qualify as junk … an embarrassing disaster is the only fair description. Agreed, cool concept but a horrific product execution.
Thank you again Kevin! Not only are you responsible for getting me back into RC but you’re responsible for all the smiles too. Thank you for a great year of informative and entertaining content!
When all the tires fell off and everyone was laughing has to be my favorite video I laughed so hard thank you
You did the right thing showing the 3D printed car. It was a good honest review. I’ve recently bought a DBXL-E 2.0 based on your reviews and others. I’ve modded it with Vitavon bulkheads to overcome the bearing weakness’s that were highlighted in the reviews. Because of the reviews I new what I was getting myself into. Keep up the great honest video’s.👍
I can't believe they took it back and then just ghosted him. LOL Far as I have been able to find out, they went out of business not to long after.
Kev I started watching your videos a couple years ago or so and Instantly went and got a Typhon 6S, you reminded me how much I loved rc cars. Now all 4 of my girls ages 8, 7, 3, and 18mon. Enjoy the hobby in one way or another along with my wife and I. Thank you!
Dude I love this comment, I got my 6-year-old and 4 year old into the RC world and my youngest is only two and he's trying to pick up the controller and use it as well so I have to buy another truck for him it's amazing to have a hobby you can share with your family.
My RC life is simple. If it doesn't pass the Kevin Talbot test, I don't buy it. Unless I feel really rebellious, then I will buy something just to destroy it. 😂Much love & respect for ya, Kev. Can't wait to see more of Game Over crushing cars!
@@paolo3656 As Kevin says: Whatever puts a smile on your face is the best. I love my Truggies. Best of both worlds, kinda, lol. Happy New Year, bro!
Same my kids get the cars that kev likes simples
This is the reason I like watching Kevin. He basically gives you his honest opinion about an RC car and lets you make up your own mind about weather or not to buy it.
Honestly is a rarity nowadays. Keep up the great content Kev and continued success in 2023 and beyond!
Good for you Kevin! I've never seen a car self-destruct like that (other than my Ford Fiesta) which I traded for an Outback. What a paradigm shift in quality!
I was shocked by the review on the MT8 after hearing/seeing so much good about the MT10. It was reassuring, and quite honestly, a relief to see you still give strong props to the MT10 on this video. That is where my money was/is soon headed, for my first rc.
Kevin is an awesome content provider and a good tester for all of these cars but understand, he’s extremely hard on them. The average r/c car person doesn’t have the locations Kevin has to beat them up that bad so my guess is knowing TA for as long as I have they MT8 is going to be fine for normal use. That said, as someone who has tried what Kevin has tried with his cars. The xmaxx is the safer bet. That thing is hard to break and easy and cheap to fix.
It's a great reflection on Kev, two products from the same manufacturer, one he loves, the other he hates, no brand loyalty just speaks as he finds
Kevin, thank you for your loyalty to the viewers!! You're hands down one of my favorite TH-camrs!!
I don't know Kev, I got a better laugh out of the self destructing car than any of your other RC videos. That's definitely worth something. 😂
Always an amazing video Kev! And it sucks to the mammoth won't be sent out to TH-camrs anymore but there are a lot of companies that won't send their stuff out to TH-camrs like yourself people who actually give honest opinions you can find a good review video on any model of RC truck or car because most of the time somebody is paid by the company to say good things I'm glad I am subscribed to your channel because again you're truthful and that means a lot in my book
Kev do you mean worst rc cars of 2022 not 2023
He’s a silly goose 😂
Lol
Silly? Or clever 😏
@@user-es6gq6wd9w cleaver or clever?
@@cynicalpotato6837 oops. I'm sick so my visions blurry from eye crusties. Thanks
Best thing about your channel is that you show everything & you are brutally honest whether it is good or bad, never change that, your channel helped me pick my RC car & I bet you have helped alot of others as well pick theirs
I wish all the youtubers would be honest like you have with how well an rc is. We all know you put them threw the ringer but that shows us how good it really is. The honest reviews are so much better. I hate watching a youtuber who never gives their own opinion about the rc. Like they scared to say if it's bad or not. Great job Kev! I hope you keep these companies on their toes so maybe they see what everyone really wants. Thank you for your time Kev! Love your videos!
Thank you for always telling us the truth. Most of us work very hard the money that we spend on our toys. It’s not easy to come by so being able to see a honest, trustworthy, and thorough review is worth more than I’m able to express. Again, thank you sir. Very, very much appreciated.
After my experiences with the "NEW" HPI Savage X 4.6 I'm convinced that it's just a load of parts that were left lying around and slapped together for the new owners of HPI to try and get HPI out of its financial problems as quick as possible. Mine had no quality control what so ever so I sent it back. I've been into RC for a long time and I have never had such a terrible experience with an RC as I did with that "NEW" Savage, I honestly wish I'd bought a decent used one.
Your probably right. People hate on me when I say it but I think the savage platform is out of date or even obsolete now.
I have to agree with you about the quality of the new Savages, they suck which I hate saying. I have 13 of them in total and the old models are built of far superior quality materials and stand up to bashing alot better then the newer models. HPI are now just a shadow of the kings of RC they used to be. They need to sort there act out or will end up going under again.
At least your friends had fun laughing AT the mammuth
That 3d printed speed car was defiantly a funny video to watch, although it is a shame that a $1600 prototype disintegrated immediately, The concept is good, but it shouldn't have costed $1600 for people to test it. Hopefully the revised production model is durable enough to used under normal circumstances.
It's a perfect example of a good concept but the execution was a failure. The outrunner motors at each wheel is an excellent concept, you can get into torque vectoring, but not if the wheels disintegrate......
Ye pretty much, the quad motors definitely seem like one of the main features of the car.
That's fair. It shouldn't been available for the public to buy.
@@ecr8044 Yeah, you nailed it. The quality makes me think it's a bunch of guys in their garage who "think" they're engineers.
I hope people pay via paypal so they can get their money back....
Yo Kev
Your the first rc car channel that I found a few years back and now I'm being promoted other rc channels, some uk (cringe) and a guy from the usa.
Your the best, constant gripping footage and editing.
I bet they are putting your name in their tags to scab off you.
Keep it up Kev
Smashing the granny out of it.
Hi Kevin what servo do you ide in the ryft thx
Hub motors make so much sense, I feel like sticking a drone 4-in-1 esc with 4 hub motors in an RC car would be great with potential for cool things like torque vectoring, tank steering, and front/rear bias tuning.
Started racing in '94. RC cars still have issues, nearly all of them. I havent seen you leave one alone yet. Thanks for the great videos! Your excitement almost makes me want a car again...but boats are just too much fun.
Kevin I subscribed to your channel because you are funny and ooze integrity. I paid for you RC workshop to learn this hobby, my first car I bought was the Arrma Fireteam when it was on sale last month. Thank you for all your hard work, you're responsible for getting me into this hobby.
Great video again Kevin,
I have multiple Arrmas 8s cars and a Traxxas X-maxx. Both brand are best in there own way. In my opinion for bashing in the woods Arrma is the way to go. But on tarmac the Armma is to heavy and bends easy. Traxxas is in my opinion better on tarmac than for bashing in sand and the woods.
I enjoyed your video. The only car I have from your list is the Ryft, and I agree with your assessment completely. I have also modified mine with a two speed transmission, rear anti sway bar, reinforced axle housings, different shock absorbers, and a spoiler. With these modifications it is actually a fun car to run.
Thanks for the honesty Kev. It's appreciated, REALLY is.
Kev i am thinking of getting a new rc car which one is fast and quite durable thanks
Your the best Kev! Thanks for the honesty and the entertainment!!!! 👍🏼😎👍🏼
Hi Kevin, what do you think of the Kyosho MP9 TKi4? As a race buggy? And do you think its the best? Thanks
100% agree on the Axial Ryft!! What a POS out of the box, great after the MANY weak points are addressed
On point Kev,thanks and keep it up
I have the old SavageXL, it does shift but you need to tune the engine really well for it to hit a good RPM and, its been a while, but I remember that I had to open the transmission, not just use the screw, to get it to shift smoother. Havent touched it in year, revised the engine last year (was totally gunked up and stuck) and used it, shifted perfectly. Its all about tuning and loosen the tranny inside and not just the screw.
The honest reviews are one of the main reasons I love this channel.
So I have to say that the motor on the video for the savage, you didn't even hit peak rpm to even have the need to shift gears. Also, you can adjust the shift points. There is no "perfect" setting for the shift points. It's all based on rpm.
HPI has lost a lot of ground. For instance, about a year ago I bought the Maverick Quantum XT Flux and it was a disappointment out of the box. As it stands now, it's not too bad, but I've had to upgrade and/or replace and modify almost every part in it! High suck factor.
i love how honest you are, especially with the mammuth works stealth.
Dead right, your loyalty should be with your viewers, they're your bread and butter, there's plenty of tubers that are biased towards certain makes and always give positive feedback
I like the reviews and tips, he gives us about RC cars.
Funny how the mt8 made it first on the list.
I own both the mt8 and a kraton exb. My mt8 is hands down 3x more durable than my kraton.
A few redcat parts, a couple sets of arrma 5mm turnbuckles, and that thing will surprise you with its durability.
I think you’ve been more than fair Kev. I agree about the Mammuth as a concept. It could be opening the door to a lot of possibilities for speed and traction control. I think they chose poor methods of manufacturing though. Needs more development and injection moulded plastics.
Love the content you inspired me to buy a Traxxas udr and I love hooning it around
Had an HPI Bullet MT Flux back in 2013 and it sort of seemed like the chrysler of rc cars, fast but broke super easy, was made out of chinsey plastic and could never find parts for them. It was fun but it still sucked. Have a buddy who has that same HPI Nitro and nothing but issues. We go out to rip, and he works on his for 30 mins then breaks it on a 3 inch jump, i throw down my slash 4x4 ultimate and bounce off everything and keep rippin for hours
What do you use for a center shaft on the infraction, the stock one just won't take any speed? Wobbles all over the place.
For me who's nearly 40 🤫
The RC cars I've owned from the age of 19 and where great fun was
Tamiya TL01 on a 9 turn triple.
Great fun v fast and cheap to rebuild when I bashed it opps tumble wumble
Then years later I got brave and got an fg model sport 1/5 scale petrol on road.
Again great fun but you needed slot of space to run it and the 🚔 would always turn up thinking it was a mini Moto lol
Then after that I got a second hand Schumacher Xtr3e and let me tell u for a nitro 3 speed it fly literally sent it to the moon and it came back down with an almighty bang 🚑
Having hub motors comes with a lot of problems. There's a reason (actually a lot) noone uses hub motors.
The weight of the motor introduces high inertia, so the hubs get a lot more punishment on every bump. And it makes the suspension react more sluggish. So the vehicle becomes unstable on anything that isn't silky smooth.
It would probably be better off having the motors at the center where there still 4 motors but you have a drives haft to the actual wheel , that would get rid of the unsprung weight and probably make it a lot better
In fact, even teslas actually have two motors with driveshafts to them to minimize unsprung mass. also, due to the gyroscopic effect, even with good steering, it would be pretty hard to turn wheels. Especially combined with hard suspension and many of the parts made from 3D printed plastic😆😆
@Kevin Talbot Sledge VS RXT? witch would you get?
I like that Kevin tells us everything
I will look up a car to see If it's good a d I'll click Kevin's video first. He dosent talk 10 years to start the videos. He gets to it right away.
Hi Kevin Talbot What you think I've bought myself a arrma outcast 1/5 roller any good for the money
fine if you use it normally, but if want to extreme bash you will need lots of mods to keep it together
hi love this vids i have a rc that is blowing thought sevos what do I do
Kev busts out laughing when it breaks into pieces.......it's niiicccceee 🤣
For me as a person who loves RC cars I am very interested in your videos. I know you take your RC cars to the limit, and bash them way harder then I do. However I know if the RC can make it with you then I am in good shape. You provide a lot of knowledge and tips on how to improve RC cars to make them as reliable as possible. This all means a lot to me. If the company has fixed all the issues with their RC car they should send you another one to show how the improvements have gone. It’s ok for a company to send items to people for a durability test and if it fails that ok. However for a consumer of high end RC cars I need to see this car run before I ever consider purchasing one. Kevin, thank you for your hard work and all the effort you put into making these videos.
Kev do you have a pdf picture of the GAME OVER logo on your monster truck so I can put it on my rc car?
Hey Kev , im new to R.C cars , but bought an HSP BRONTOSAURUS PRO to start off with - do you rate these for a beginner pls m8 ??
TRAXXAS 8s has been my favorite, which I learned from Kevin and I cannot think him enough for the awesome information and incredible videos.
Keep telling the truth kev. And thanks for all your videos. Looking forward to seeing more this year.
Awsome video Kevin, well done for keeping it honest and most importantly fun.
Love all of your vids and are always a blast to watch
Kevin: This is a shitty product!
Company: We'll take care of it.
Kevin: How's it going?
Company: What car.
Love your style of content creation! Thank you for keeping me entertained while I recover from surgery.. Thank you from the USA!
Are you (have you) going to try out the TRX4Ms?
Happy new year kevin boy.
Kev always puts a smile on my face
Keep the hits coming brother! love to watch!!!
The mammoth was an epic video and the fact that there not willing to send it back means its quite simply a money trap and a load of crap put together rather nicely so its officially the best visual of dog waste we've ever seen only the poh wouldn't have spread pieces of itself quite as well as the car did so on that bombshell game over 👏
If the companies don’t like what you say and they don’t want you to produce a video. They should not sell the car to the public. I agree with you 1000% and I thank you big time. You rock.. no question, hands-down. Keep it up my friend..
wat was the top speed on the rift
The axial ryft is definitely very fun if you upgrade it. I put a system similar to the one Kev used and with the 2 speed transmission and it works great
I used to have a slash 2wd and they're really nice. I know you don't like 2wd but the Traxxas 2wd slash is honestly a very nice car and I'd like to see one on the channel even just a unboxing and your opinion of one would be amazing
Thank you Kevin for the great videos.
Hey Kev, what is your opinion on the HPI WR8 Flux Subaru? I haven't seen you make a video on it. I think I remember you saying you weren't an HPI fan but I might have imagined that..
I have been watching your videos for years here in the states. Just wanted to say keep up the great job all your videos are entertaining and informative. I hope you never stop and keep making great content!
Yo Kev! -Kev from Ohio USA here wanting to say Ive been dieing to really see the difference in driveshafts and upgradeability from 3s to 4s arrma for my granite with drivedhafts/hubs and the difference. Id love id youd show the difference and your opinion on bashability/durability more importantly.
Thanks. Keep bashing! Thanks for your content and love for the hobby. I agree, the best RC is the one that puts the biggest smile on your face
"The best rc car is whichever rc car puts the biggest smile on your face"
Words to live by.
You made my day again bro☺️
For a moment I thought Richard Hammond was testing RC cars then🤣
Well done Kev on stating your Opinion! so many these days are tied to sponsorship they cant give opinions. I guess that's why you have 1.8 million subs. Keep up the excellent work Kev, From the land down under.
Are hosim rc products worth anything? I have a very tight budget and want to get into rc
If your budget is that tight do not get in to this hobby right now, wait save some money and then get in to it when you can afford some quality stuff, you will be better off in the long run
I want the traxxas rustler 4x4 vxl but all the arrma and traxxas trucks are outrageous
Save money to buy a quality car. Cheap means expensive in this hobby. Not always but 90% it is.
@@KHeidendal I'd say it's a general rule in life. In Germany we have the saying: If you buy cheap, you buy twice.
@@MegaSockenschuss true
Again, you make my day with mentioning the Mammuth Stealth 😀. Mammuth definitely lost their sense of direction....
Enjoyed That Video Kevin 😊👍
Where do you buy these fast RC car I can't find any fas one but I found a fast one today
The pushrod suspension on the futuristic one is pretty cool
Thank you sir.
Have you ever used a helion dominus? I’m in need of 2 10t drive bevel gear for it
Thoughts on ftx zorro?
super point on review :D
Watching the mammuth self detonate was truly one of the highlights of 2022 on this channel
So they built that stealth out of 3D prints and off the shelf parts, gingerly put it in a box without ever actually testing it and sent it out for review to a notoriously destructive TH-camr? These people would feed a dog chicken bones.
Great vid, I have had a different experience with my outcast 8S but love your videos!
everyone has a different experience! the best rc is which ever puts the biggest smile on your face and that is different for everybody!
Well the fall apart car is definitely more shocking than the infraction or any other rc car even in the toy grade category because i have never seen any rc car toy grade or hobby grade self destruct in less than five minutes . That is very shocking
I respect you for being loyal
There's nothing mechanically wrong with your Savage transmissions, they've always been that way since the og xl. Hpi kindly includes a useless sentence about trans adjustments (an Allen wrench blindly into the wee holes on the sides) but I didn't find the right scientist or the correct series of video game like puzzle sequences to ever make one work properly either.
The Mammuth is a cool engineering concept. It may somehow work when using proper manufacturing techniques, but I doubt it. Those motors are heavy, and putting them into the wheels has only downsides. They increase the unsprung mass, making handling worse. They also distribute the mass to a larger area, instead of concentrating it in the center of the car, also not god for handling and agility. The only benefit would be if they get torque vectoring right, which I guess would be IMMENSELY difficult in such a small car without the use of sensors like in a real car (e.g. the Rimac Nevera). In it current form it is FAR to powerful for (what it seems consumer-grade) 3d printed parts.
I have 6 different 3d printed 1/8th scale RCs (4 crawlers and 2 buggies) and they work perfectly fine - because they only use quite small motors, are not super fast and you have to know their limits - so you don't drive them like you would a "normal" RC. But for a commercial product, costing 1500€+ this is unacceptable
We are all here because you are honest,you are clearly very xp with rc cars and if the company would really have solved the problems they would have send you one to redeem themselves.they clearly didnt and live in a dreamworld thinking they can just keep selling it as it is or slightly better but still not worth the money.Thank You for beeing honest and straightforward.Reality is hard but not as hard as getting ripped off twice.
Evening @Kevin Talbot , how do I get in touch regarding sending you something to test?
Vielen , vielen Dank für diese Infos, die sind wichtiger als alles andere, damit man RC Cars zum Kauf vergessen kann!! Prima.
So ein Video sollte es alle paar Wochen geben, damit man den Mist wirklich nicht kaufen muss/kann. Schön wäre noch eine Rangliste über Alle Autos, viel Spass.
