Im looking for a 1/16 traxxas e revo used. I live in puerto rico.
kevin:" i dont want to hurt this limited edition body"
kevin: backflips
also kevin: rides on 2 wheels
also kevin: throws in to car.
He did hide it when max came 🤣 that was funny
I would never do what kev does with a rc. My videos are more mini movie adventures
That’s not even that bad
Spanish music during part replacements was absolutely epic
mxicano
I’m Mexican and started laughing so much when that song came on 😂
I'm mexican too, SO happy when the song started to play jajajaja
I honestly to God said a prayer when Kevin got in Max's car. 😂That whole bit was funny, lol.
great to see Ian and Claire in the vid along with 8s Steve and his boy.
Great vid Kev. Max gets a some stick from subscribers but he definitely adds fun to your channel. Need to see more Stempy boating adventures!
@ 5:30 beautiful wheelie❤
I was in England earlier this month, I really have to say I very much enjoyed my trip. I got to see some rural parts of England and of course got to spend an evening in London being a tourist, exploring Westminster. What a awesome place to visit and everyone was so pleasant. Had a great time...Now I got to plan another trip with the wife and no work.
Didnt mention the aluminum motor mount! Looks clean! Favorite color. 😍
"Alu-MINI-um 😅
Kev new video idea
Testing the rtx outlaw
Idk just thought that it’s different 😅
Those belted tires are 20% off directly from Traxxas right now so I just ordered a set to test on my "normal" xmaxx.
I want them on my Rovan Lt damn why belted tires aren't more popular, esp in 1/5 scale ;
How much are they?
@@thomasmallory971 still too much LOL cost $155 usd with tax for a set of 4
@@thomasmallory971 I found good belted tires for 50€ for set for Xmax and fifth scale.
Company called Louise RC
So glad to see that you didn't fall for the "limited edition" hype and sent it like it should be sent. I am not seeing any limited availability on these "ultimate editions" over here in the US. Typical TRX hype, trying to create a wave.. Also, I don't see anything on the so called ultimate that made it more enjoyable or durable, frankly, I think it's less durable than the base model., which I do love. The X-Maxx is arguably "The GOAT". Anyways, great video! Love your enthusiasm! Always bright and sunny.. at least on camera! LOL, Cheers!!🍻

Also getting all air out of oil is not important. I actually intentionally don't fill full oil, that gives suspension some distance of almost no damping which helps on small fast bumps
Both my boy's, 4 & 7 love watching you. Having adopted them from my daughter and being on SSDI we can't afford these things but they sure are fun to watch. Thank you for giving them some fun ad you utterly DESTROY those poor helpless trucks. LOL
God bless you are your's.
That two wheel run was crazy I’ve never seen anybody do that with a rc car before
You're the only one I've seen that can run the car on two wheels on it's side.👍
They are saying it's limited run, but if they sell enough of these they will continue. I work at a local hobby shop in the US, and we got six of the X-Maxx ultimates in and 6 of the xrt ultimates, and a few people called to have us hold them and pick them up. But we are still sitting on two or three X-Maxx's and probably a good four XRTs. The guys that heard about them and really wanted them snatched them up and naturally we have not seen them back with any broken parts. It's got all the upgrades you would normally end up switching to like the better servo and aluminum steering bell crank and naturally getting different tires because the stock standard X-Maxx tires are not much to speak of. So just adding those few things and not having to do the labor of replacing the servo or the bell crank plus the actual value of these parts does equal about $1,000. And naturally the special bodies for each of these new ones. So that's a value in itself. Without mentioning all the other bits, The main problem is the price. Even though you're getting all that great stuff for another $500 it's really hard to pull the trigger on $1,500. Traxxas people look at the xmaxx as the end all be all truck. So it's a huge deal when you have to spend $1,000 and $400 plus dollars on the batteries and charger. So if you already have an X-Maxx, it's plenty durable and upgrade it as needed and it will get you more familiar with the truck in itself and how it works and comes apart. So current X-Maxx owners are not going for it. But if you're somebody that doesn't have an Xmaxx and has been hesitating to bite the bullet and get one, grab one of these if you can because the extra $500 saves you headache down the road. You'll be able to put this truck through its paces. I recommend the x-maxx over xrt just to be known. Also, I'm an Arrma guy.
What are the most popular Arrma's you sell in the shop?
I mean the only value I see in it are the bell crank the steel gears and upgraded servo. The aluminum hubs adds useless weight way out on the arm and wasn’t really necessary neither are the aluminum shocks caps. Personally never had issues with the stock diff covers. With the upgraded servo and bell crank the aluminum tie rods are unnecessary as well. The tires are nice but I preferred the unbelted sledgehammers, I could do a standing backflip with the unbelted tires and didn’t have any blowout. The value just isn’t there on an already overpriced albeit incredibly fun truck.
The replacement parts are in the wrong areas and from what ive seen its less reliable
I have got one finally. Only because of Kev’s videos of all his XMaxx’s. I’m new to RC’s the past 5 months. Got the Hoss then a Maxx then a Sledge another Limited Edition Monster Energy Maxx. Then finally got an XMaxx Ultimate. Love the videos Kev!!! Don’t ever stop!
Damn what’s you’re job cause im sure that’s like 3k-4k golden dabloons (3k-4k USD)
He's a dru... I mean he had a good inheritance, lay off fbi geez.
Kev is probably the most enthusiastic and quality RC TH-camr. Every young RC TH-camr aspired to be you Kev!
I enjoyed when Max showed up on the channel. Before what i might have picked up the 'wambys' started crying about it.
Finally a video with Max that didn't end in total carnage! LOL 👍
11:40 Thanks for sharing that! I didn't realize that's what it was for.
Also, thanks for helping me get back into rc's! I picked up an Xmaxx during Christmas time, and this is some of the most fun I've had with an RC! Thanks for the recommendation!
Kev you are the only one who is crazy enough... take the monster truck to this vs that off road ... the hoonigans will love to include a monster truck to the serie🔥🔥🔥 guys help me hereee
It made me chuckle when you hid the Xmax body when Max arrived at the door.😂
The scary car driving links in Max's car were hilarious 😂
Yes😂😂😂
I'm calling for a smash off between Kevin and Mad Max. Each takes the best RC they have and head on coalition them till one brakes. Winner gets the broken RC and respect... who wants to see this?
15:07 Maan this brings some memories of your old videos, I got a nostalgic tear coming out my eyes
Yea whts the name of that music ??
@@lachlandasilva9368 propeller - silent partner
Thank you for putting so much effort into your videos, they're really entertaining to watch! You have a very Kevintalboty-style that I'm sure many of us viewers enjoy :)
I genuinely smiled at thr 2 wheeking that was good stuff
The mariachi band @9:40 is just amazing!
I like your content it is fun and it's helpful for every one who want to knows about RC
The Spanish music 😆
Dammit guy! I wanted to see how fast it goes straight out of the box on the stock gearing.
I got the green one too! Love that thing! They are selling the ultimate body’s so you’ll be able to replace it
Ultimate is a super limited run. Once they are done they won’t be coming back. Unlike the other ultimates these are really rare. Never to be done again according to them. For 1499.99 you get 1k worth of upgrades already done. And all the good bits. Only thing they missed is a motor brace.
So its possible to build it yourself?
Ehh yes and no since the upgraded parts may become hard to come across
No way thats 1k worth of upgrades.
Servo saver, rear hubs, front steering knucks/hubs, diff covers and gear cover are upgrades.
Shock caps are debatable, I bash plenty hard and only broken one.
Rest are gimmicks.
This ultimate is not so ultimate as we already saw
@@wippip Yeah I was gonna say that, not even $500 worth of upgrades lol
*[edit: typo]*
Always having ultimate fun!!!! love the under truck footage! Max is always down for a fun bash!! thanks for posting!!
Damn girl that tires is amazing you need to gear that properly for like 140kmh so we can see what she can do
Hi Kevin! i know this is a long shot but in Washington state there is an R/C expo at the evergreen state fairgrounds in April (specifically April 13th&14th, that's when i have time off of work for my 25th birthday) id love if you came if you have time, i know you are moving and its a long way to go... ill buy you a hotdog though.
The belted tires are killer for blasting around flat terrain, but be prepared people, because they don’t ballon you won’t have the ability to backflip and correct your attitude during jumps to pull off nice landings.
I love the look of the ultimate, but can say it’s better or tougher than the normal version. I already broke two steering rods/toe links that wouldn’t have broken with stock parts. sucks but the aluminum still looks pretty cool.
Haha I love the GTA 'wasted' animation and smile every time
Always great to see Claire and the crew out. She looks very well.💯…
Seeing those tyres survive is quite refreshing to see! Right I need to get my Xmaxx out now😅
i just got into this hobby, started out with a redcat volcano, i wish i could afford to get into it like this. I'm stoked for it to arrive, I got a 5 yr old who got a cheap rc from Walmart and he loves it
Got an Axial Ryft, love this thing, just put a castle system in it, now I ordered a full TrealTreatment, Reefs Raw 500 servo, Vitavon Bead Locks and USD Stickies, this thing gonna be a monster ripper man.
Being honest, I am one of your biggest fans, dude
Thanks Kev. Just took a break at work and you have new content 🔥😎
I have been wanting an x max for a while now. Hopefully, I can grab one of these. Love ❤️ the videos as always, one of my favorite Chanels.
Only reason i would disagree with you about the raminator is that thing seems to break every single time you run it
Yeah. It’s surely epic fun but I would get frustrated with something that breaks that much. Especially when parts would be so expensive. I don’t need a truck that’s stressful to keep running.
@@emersonb5764and the fact that its 6 grand 😭
*_This "Ultimate" edition SOUNDS absolutely horrrrrrrendous!_*
_(There is absolutely no smoothness to it!)_
_This is regardless of whether or not he switched out gearing, and regardless of whether or not this is the regular version or the premium "Ultimate Edition" If you are an actual diehard hobby enthusiast, you notice the little/BIG things like the unique sound that each and every RC makes! Arrma, and Traxxas are very similar.. both sound god awful!_
_XRay, Corally, Kyosho, HoBao, and the new WOV Racing vehicles sound suuuuper smoooooth, and are at the top of the list! (Sheer Quality)_
_I really love my XRT, but to be god honest truthful, you are NOT getting what you pay for! They are able to command these prices ONLY because we continue to give in and pay it! They know they have the market cornered as none of the other manufactures that are known for actual quality builds are stepping up and creating these larger scale RC's! Pay attention, and once you notice this, you can never unnotice it 😂._
Man the ultimate with all that gorgeous aluminum, Nice!!!!!
It’s a bit disappointing that the box says 50mph and even with the gears installed it can make it.😢
I usually dont want metal on my RC cars, but I gotta say it looks pretty darn good on that beast.
An aluminum adjustable sevo saver and a perfect pass monster servo completely changed the way my xmaxx handles. If you have some belted tires it puts the truck on rails
do yourself a favor and get a better sevo for much cheaper. The PP upcharge for a repackaged AGF servo in shiny box is hilarious
We NEED a KTalbot RC Design, rc car line! Let's Go!!!
I had no idea these belted tires slows down the ultimate that much. This explains why mine is going 38 😂 I need to gear up some! I agree with you kev, ITS A TANK AND THERE IS NOTHING BETTER THAN THE X-maxx ultimate. I have the same one but with a hobby wing esc and a green roof skid plate because limited edition awesome green body. Thanks for the video kev!
I love your channel buddy, very awesome that you give different ideas for stock pieces that might break. Keep up the great work buddy 👍
Traxxas slash 4x4 ultimate owner here. Great level 2 car. Dont ever put in the "speed gear". Get a center diff. Blue check shocks, 45 front 50 weight rear. Tekno's with drivers will always beat you but its a great start.
Kev! Drill some holes or a cwvity in lower arms and fill them with oobleck (cornflour and water) / non neutonian fluid and seal it in!! I dont know why it hasnt been done but im sure it will help with strengthening for bashing!
Quite disappointing for a limited edition to only special thing about it is the body and box other brands like arrma went all out and did laser ingraved chassis etc
Love you Kevin but there was air in shock, thats why it went up aboit 1/4 " by itself when you compressed it all the way down. Love the videos buddy!
I was wondering if you had a chassis it was split into and connected with shocks wouldn't that absorb a lot of front end damage? Basically your chassis would be in two pieces kind of like an expansion joint
Nice to see Max got a car with a manual transmission!
Let’s see a Cybertruck and Hummer EV next😁
Hey @KevinTalbotTV have you even thought of developing an RC toolkit with all the needed bits and devices? Sorta like an RC version of an iFixit bundle.
Coil overly turny things 😂
Yup. When I put aluminum hubs and C hubs in my X-Maxx, I would be constantly breaking the upper control arms, lower control arms and the steering link even with little jumps. So I went right back to stock plastic parts and it's all good now. I would never put those aluminum parts back in my X-Maxx again! That's been my experience.
Hey Kevin loving your vids as always, i see max is driving you around now so please give him a chance in the monster truck. Would love to see that😅❤
I'm glad you came out with a new video I've been a fan for a while now keep up the good work I hope whoever gets it knows that it came from a great guy. Good luck everyone
Brilliant video Kev. Love it when you film here. You can see my house in the background 😂
16:06
Me: uh oh, another challenge jump!
Boom 😂
TUMBLE WUMBLE!!!!!!
Kev you need to do a review on the traxxas trx4m
First video I've watched in 2 years of being away, glad to see there was no "christmas every day " which is why i stopped watching 2 years ago as some people don't get a Christmas every year let alone every day, so may start watching again as i didn't see that. Good video
Hi Kev love your videos you actually got me into rc cars I recently bought a basher 1.18 scale broke already would you be able to give me any advise on a good 1.10 scale rc that's durable for some good bashing and again love your videos my friend
Idk if it's because it's a solid axle system, but it looks like the raminator has much less suspension travel, compared to other rc cars🤔
Have they tuned the centre diff? It seems to handle a lot better.
Hey Kevin love ❤from Shreveport La I’m in your raffle in I’m waiting for my xmaxx to come you the best keep it up
That's an awesome truck!😍 Great video. God bless
You need to fit those belted tires to the speed sausage. Fun vid Kev and it’s good to see Max again.
Hi Kev just wondering how many batteries in the truck do you go through to make a video or how many charges
3
Ultimately it seemed to break pretty easily still… great vid though looks epic , I’d paint the basher shell black though 👍🏻
I think It's cool how Kevin says aluminum
LET'S GO 🔥
Awesome rig, Love the XMAXX 🔥
I have been subscribed for a while now I’m just curious what do you do with all the stock traxxas receivers, motors and esc you love swapping out?
The only thing that saves my rc car from catching fire in the summer is the fact that it will most likely break or die
Personally I've been running belted tires for years. Everything he said is absolutely true. I prefer the better control but it's definitely not a backflipping machine like it used to be.
I’m the
Xmaxx vs xrt I’m on the fence what should I buy. Love your videos
think this. Monster Truck vs Stadium Truck/Truggie.
I could see the ultimate being more of a pain? All those metal parts just means bent parts when bashing. I foresee a lot of replacement parts. Especially the steering links.
The Mexican music is epic. I sincerely hope this becomes a Talbot thing as much as "Its Christmas everyday!"
Good video when Im waiting for my losi ford raptor baja rey🔥
Does it come with all metal front/rear diff gears as well or are they still the cheap powder metal ones?
1:00 fries speed control straight out the box……..noice
I'm waiting for my wide kit in the mail. Gonna be sweet!!! And used my amain hobbies points to get an aluminum gear cover 👌
Those belted tyres look like they can put up with a whole load of rotation, maybe try them on the sausage!
Good to see Kev's heart get a durability test with max's driving, how long before he goes to the moon? 😅
hey kev i dare you to put the raminator tires, giant motor, bigger gearing and 12s batteries!
One of the best rc channels out
Last channel I expected mariachi music on but you chose a banger lol
Create a custom 3d printable model using this as reference for a client once, and it was absolutely epic. He got it printed and even i was like, Did i really made these?😂
kev can you pleae link the bit you use for the tires? would really like to pick one of these up to make taking them on/off easier. Thanks
You can get a 1/4” adapter to use whatever size socket you need on a light duty impact gun or electric screwdriver. I use one on my Milwaukee m12 screwdriver.
17mm socket.
11.5mm
I wonder if the electronics are any different from the last ver.? 🤔
Also, I wonder if those traxxas tires will help you achieve 12s speed runs on your 12s xmax
They could be using the v2 vileniom system. But I don't really know if it's true next time I go too a local hobby dealer I'll check it out since they'll definitely have a few in stock and on display.
@@kylebeach2316 sounds good thanks!
20/46 is perfect on the xmaxx for about everything
Hey kev love your videos and im wondering what happend to the summit? I have a summit my self brushless and its really interesting and fun and i wanna see more videos on it!
