Hi Kevin, ok so remember this simple rule when drilling metal. The harder the metal the slower the speed. Also a good drilling fluid is automotive antifreeze. Just remember to clean ot up properly because its roxic to animals. Good luck and thanks for the great vids!
I also love your videos a lot. I’ve only been watching for around a month or so but I was interested in rc cars since I was a kid and my uncle was running his nitro traxxas up the road haha but your videos have completely reclaimed my interest in rc cars. Thank you 🤙
@@KevinTalbotTV hey kev, I'm not trying to be mean here, but i do feel like you changed to where you're just trying to gain subs and all that. In some videos you ask us to sub every 5 minutes y'know. We came here because we love your content, and subscribe if we want to do so. Also, bout the fact that you needed rest, is that going to happen? You do need to take a break if you're wearing yourself out y'know.. it's okay if we don't get a video every day. You're a great man Kev, i truly mean that!
Lube the spots with some oil as u drill so the bit can stay sharper longer, otherwise the friction generated heat will soften the drill bit and go dull fast, and also drill at a slower speed. Drilling to fast will dull the bit faster also. With titanium, you do need a carbide /diamond dusted drill bit rated for high tensile strength, but also can do it with stepping the drill bit gauge in stages. Make a pilot mark, with a punch, and then start off with 2 steps smaller drill bit to break through a pilot hole, then you can step up next size, widen the hole, and then one more size up drill bit to final size. Thats how i learned to do it with metals harder than iron/steel to drill. But cutting, either carbide based, diamond dusted blade and lube also, or plasma cutter / high pressure water jet cutting table.
Bead locks for burnouts? It seems like the heat is gonna break the beads loose on most all glue on tires. And thanks for the little info on mixing up wires on sensored motors, it explains why I fried an ESC when I was trying to throw together a test setup for a friends new rig. It was a Tamiya ESC so no labels on the wires and I was too lazy to research, Oh well it was junk before it melted anyway.
You know what I’d love, if the big rc guys like this would start selling builds like this one, or just start a business where they sell upgraded rc’s......I’d definitely be a customer
Black drill bit some oil so your bit could last and drill slower let the drill bite, high speed just prematurely wears out you drill bits, better yet get a small bench press😁👍🏼
I'm a complete 60 years old noob who wants to try this drifting and looking to build a small scale car any ideas were I should start please . Great video mate .
I was looking at a Redcat Everest 10 for my first crawler. I have a 4 yr old daughter that I wanted to do this with. Do you know much about them? Thanks Kelly
I have talked to a guy who has one and he loves it he drove it over his friends trx4 lol, another great first crawler is the ecx barrage or a doomsday barrage they are cheap and have a very similar chassis design to a trx4, I just got a ecx barrage at my local hobby shop for 99$ and it's awesome. They are usually anywhere from 160$ to 220$ which is exactly the price range of the redcat lol. I'm going to get the Everest 10 too because I have heard nothing but good things about it.
If you want to get a crawler I personally would get axial. I have experience with redcat and many just little things break, like receiver bad connectors reverse does not work, then it works so just get an axial.
I just built exactly this same rig- two things: 1. Why do you want to run two lipo's in there to get 6s? Put a loop on one connector and run a single battery, save about one pound on an 8 pound car... that's a lot when you're jumping it... 2. Who do you have this race car for bashing anyway? You need something with more ground clearance for your style don't you? This is made for about 25mm ground clearance, and a nice smooth track with some jumps- not a skate park! Not criticizing- just curious...
I think he knows that and it's why he didn't respond, he knows more about the hobby than most people watching and it is his job to sell RC parts on eBay. He has like 50 RC cars so he knows what they are for he's not dumb and he has said in many videos he is not a racer he is a basher and bashes every RC he has no matter what model it is that's what he likes to do, bash it break it and repair/upgrade it.
@@99thpeanut59 yup I got into this argument about the Arrma Typhon with another guy, he was saying that you have to buy 6s batteries and there so expensive and wah wah wah, then I explained you can run two 3s or two 4s batteries and on Amazon can get two for like 50$ 2 or 3s, he never responded back lol.
Not really a race buggy, kind of both, a basher and racer. It's really durable anyways so who cares about ground clearance. All of his cars bottom out the way he drives them. And here's basically your question: "Why would you want to double the power?".
Ok thx man, i just Wanted to Know Because i have the same combo and when i repared my car it was going opposite directions so i was Scared to Swap Cables because i didnt know if it is sensorless, i already figured it but still thanks Mate (sorry my english I'm from germany)
“Kevin talbot’ that is surprisingly strong chassis strength metal. Try out a traxxas summit kev please I love mine it’s wicked fun not the fastest but is all around great in all fields
Hi kev where can I get that motor mount from ? I have a hyper 7 it was nitro but converted it to brushless but I want to fit a bigger motor and my mount isn't good enough cheers bud. Awasomes vids by the way
We’re did you get the motor mount I have a Hobao hyper 8.5 an wanting too convert it too brushless as nitros all good an fun just haven’t got patience anymore 😂
Kevin. Do you have any advice on shimming front end of a sloppy Hyper VS? Owt in your shop like a set of shims I could buy? I’m making a few replaceable lexan Shields for my new light weight chassis.
Im thinking about using the same ecu and motor in my ecx torment but i dont know what batteries to get. What can you recomend battery wise? Love the videos by the way
Hi Kev Gr8 vid. I have a hyper 21 nitro, no patience for nitro anymore. Any idea what I’d need to convert to electric? Can I use original center diff etc? Is there different mounts needed for motor/ esc? Any advice would be great. 👍
Fine_ Gamer doesn't work on this buggy tho cause the center diff is in the way ..it's best to running under the battery tray and stuff the rest in the RX box
Go on Amazon I got a 18$ brushless motor on there that does 80mph easy, the ESC on the other hand you might want to get a good one but they have very cheap brushless ESC on Amazon as well. I have a brushless motor and ESC for a 10th scale that I don't use it does around 50mph I just bought a more powerful one to go faster since they are so cheap on Amazon. I would totally give my other brushless set up away I just don't know how unless it's in person lol.
Karhuryhmä Ü who said they were made of steel. I said I wanted to get one and have a titanium chassis made which is 5 times stronger than steel. Nowhere did I say it’s 5 times stronger than the steel chassis that’s on it. I merely stated a fact about titanium
@@jamesfair9751 You said 5 times stronger than steel, and i've seen people talking about their steel chassis, so I assumed you were another one of those people.

Kev seemed depressed at these days compared to now.. different person !! still love to see his videos
Oh old Kev videos are epic
When you see that your tires are ballooning, u know u got a decent rc

...or your tyres need taping.
My car is so fast but it destroys pinions tyres spurs and diffs so quickly
minis bikes scooters MBS
What is it?
maybe its something wrong sitting on the trigger :P
The Legolad a carnage ftx brushless
Damn all those HPI’s in the back🔥
Wow watching this video compared to your new videos you are so much more confident and fun today
You should do that titanium plate thing with your xmax that would make so many sparks
The heat shrink tip 👌👌👌 love it
I love the repair videos ...not as fun doing my own repairs 😞
Your some guy Kev! I dig it the most!
Damn your content has grown so much
Hahhahaha... Kev's old videos crack me up.
Yeah Mr Talbot you have earned a sub with this one ! That Titanium is really tough stuff! Great job!
Drill it in a low gear slower the better and use oil or cutting lube
I will try that thanks
High pressure low speed, I make Titanium plane parts and thats how its done, plus new cobalt drill bits help too
Yup i was going to say the same thing, i drill alot of titanium with hss drills and just use a slow speed and water to keep it cool
One of the best Rc channels dude keep it going 👍
Man, these old videos are awesome! I miss the old kev tbf
haha I am the old me now, then I was more camera shy

Awesome video Kevin 👍🏼👍🏼 I’m doing the same build but just noticed I’ll have to grind the battery box.
2:29 why it’s ALWAYS a good idea to keep the hand grip on your grinder 😂😂
And always pull the blade rotating away from the way your pulling it.. never push against the way it's turning.
Love this style of videos
wow Kev you have come so far ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊 well done Kev love your work and all your video s ...
Drilling way to fast. Need to go slow on hard material.
Great set up I rub Hobbywing and ez-Run.and 2200kv.6S.very fast👊👊👍👍
Why do people swap motor leads when you can program motor direction in 2 seconds? Great system!!!
2seconds? first you need to attach the program card, then start it up, go to that point and change it. swapping cables is way quicker and easier
@@hansdampf3576 ya, your right, I’m just used to it. Swapping cables is faster. Thanks Hans.
I like keeping my wires neat, so I use a program card. But, there's no reason why you can't swap over two wires.

That's a nice set up. I bet it moves.
The brake cleaner i've used makes tamiya plastic turn white, just FYI! PS - I like the heatshrink stretch trick!
In general, brake cleaner is great for rc's and especially nitro!
I have the Hobao Hyper ss and I love that buggy even though it's been discontinued, it's going to be really hard to find parts, good video👍🏻
It's almost the same as the hyper VSe.
Awesome, that's gonna be so fast!! The idea about the titanium is good, will look cool going up a ramp! :)
You know what I’d love, if the big rc guys like this would start selling builds like this one, or just start a business where they sell upgraded rc’s......I’d definitely be a customer
That exists.... I don't remember the name of the place. I think I saw it on driftomaniacs.
It's called Ebay....

Great video as usual Kev is that system compatible 8s?
When is the monster truck going to be done
where's the speed run video? I'm looking at this combo for my trophy buggy
Kev like ya channel what drone did u use in this vid
Id love to see the titanium plates sparking. Try just double faced tape on it. It should hold.
I just purchased an mx8 combo for my UDR is that a good match up for that vehicle??? Love the videos you guys are funny as hell!!
i love your videos sometimes when i have troble fixing rcs i go to your channel
Thanks dude :)
np
Binge-watching pretty creative dude
So I have a Traxxas Slash 2WD, what would a good brushless upgrade be for that truck? would the EZ run system work?
Velineon 3500 kv and Vxl 3s esc is perfect but if you what cheap go ghoul rc there great for the price
Griffyn Podlatis Goolrc escs are trash.
Kevin I have been watching you for a long time love the videos but I always wondered what happens with all the combos you take out
If they are new ebay them if used just keep em for a rainy day.
Is this combo Sensored or sensorless?
Sensorless. I put one of these in my E-Maxx and it rips
Sensorless but they are so smooth it may as well be sensored
Ok thx man, i just Wanted to Know Because i have the same combo and when i repared my car it was going opposite directions so i was Scared to Swap Cables because i didnt know if it is sensorless, i already figured it but still thanks Mate (sorry my english I'm from germany)
That is why i wasnt sure if it was a sensoreless

I wanna do a 20 year old thunder tiger buggy were you get ur motor mount
Use a drill press for drilling the titanium it will get through it like butter
What did you use to stick the esc on
What kv is best with a slash 4x4. Looking for speed but still want some tourqe
Doesnt matter what kv you can get more speed by getting a bigger pinion but I say 3200kv to 3800kv is best
Do you sell cars? As I noticed loads in background
Side Bob billy he does now but I think that was his personal collection
where do you buy your stuff from?
He owns/runs Kev's RC spares :)
Sharkfat i know but them parts he sells gotta come feom somewhere
Yeah the suppliers. He won't buy them from an RC shop and sell them. He gets them the same as a shop would, and sells them online

Hi Kevin what is the run time approximately?? Because I am thinking of racing against nitro with one of these !!
Hello Friend esc hobbywnig 150A to run with it water need to turn off the fan or do not leave it on??
There is much difference in the behavior of the car, between a set sensored x sensorless?
No
u can make the wire connected to the receiver like a spring by wrapping it tightly around a screwdriver.
