I watched other review videos of this truck and it breaks in all of them. It's too heavy and too weak so you will be throwing good money after bad I think with this truck. It fell apart in your review before you even really started and then broke two more times which speaks for itself. I'm glad you tell the truth in your reviews compared to some of the others I've watched who seem biased because they don't want to upset their sponsors.
"Wheels break kind of easy". Previous shot of him sending it 50 feet into the air. Love the channel wish you would do the traxxas stampede vxl 2wd . Love to see how you would upgrade it. It might not be the best but it puts the biggest smile on my face.
You know something Kev, I just purchased the ZD racing 911 6 V3. and watching you effortlessly Sail through the jumps and control that truck like it was your own arm or something around the skate park with its brother the mt8, is making me so impatient on waiting for it to come in the mail. Your videos are outstanding. Because of them I have just recently purchased three. Thanks again Kev keep up the great videos. Bobby.
yeah, 400 bucks is apparently "cheap" nowadays? i have an 80$ rc with about 200$ in upgrades. thats about the extent of my budget for things i dont need.
Hey, I just wanted to ask you Kev (or anyone that has a suggestion) for a good off road rc car that can be kited and customised, there’s no price range!
Superglue the wheel. Just to see what happens. I am planning to get this, but I'm getting the kit... no electronics... I can put in my own bits. Great vid, as always.
I have both the eachine brand and the zd racing 9106, besides the arms being weak its held up pretty well, other breaks were my fault, side slapping a pole broke the rear hub carrier now i have aluminium, and made some aluminium arms from a set for vrx1043
This was the first rig i bought getting back inti the hobby at 31 years old. That was 4 years ago. I still have it of course. Its 6s, has some really heavy billet wheels, awesome tires, self made chassis stiffeners, the most expensive coilovers i could get, and dude i beat the shit outta the thing. Its held up better than my brothers xmax after i modded it all out. It has all billet arms and stainless hardware, really expensive motor and esc combo, 110kg servo, i could go on and on. What made the biggest difference is getting the proportions closer to realistic. I have the truck sitting about twice as high, with wheels and tires half the size. I have a trophy truck body on it and the wheels actually tuck up in the fenders like they should. Im not a scale guy at all but the ridiculously enormous wheel and tire packaging is kinda dumb to me. Yea you get more control in the air but if ur good enough, thats not necessary. Oh yeah and by the way, this thing on 6s with about 3 times the unsprung weight from the heavy ass wheels i run is just....my goodness its marvelous. Definitely my best all around rig. Hands down.
Thank you for the Honest review mate... She needs some tinkering and a proper set of wheels before you go hard on her...!! Still very interested in the Pirates3 1/8th buggy from a month ago... Like a Typhon clone.. looked rather promising... Please more on that if you get around to it Kev.
I got the last version that you tested the pirates v3 and it has been a champ I was thinking of getting this next version but now after this video probably gonna go for the dhk maximus
Well, I have just made the discovery that I have been apparently shopping at his store in San Mateo for ages, without knowing it. I always thought it was just a coincidence.
@@tbnice9999 never and i said NEVER buy any rc car in aluminium if you are loking for bashing , there is a reason why traxxas xmaxx is totally made on plastic ... they know...
@@lilnash7 I know about their scale, that is the reason I said "almost" because of the big size of it(Hyper MT 2 Plus). We know that there are some RC's that is bigger than what their scale are, like the Erevo's which is 1/10 but the size of a 1/8.
Man, this truck seems terrible. It just falls to bits instantly? Please tell me that there was like a full 12 packs of sending it to space and back between the intro and that first speed run that you just decided to to record.
I think I say the fan come off at around 6:14. I thought it was the pinion gear coming off again! BTW, I have the Pirates 2 DIY kit and I'm amazed at how well it's holding up so far. Thanks for sharing this video. Now I know what I should be looking for to break first!!! Lol.
Great video Kev n Pat love how you're always checking out these cheaper R/C's always interesting to see how they hold up to the Kevin treatment 😂 Sometimes I'm holding my breath waiting for you to break em 😲😂🤪
Although I like the reviews... Could you do some more bash videos with the slash and the other cars that were on your channel a lot at 50k subs? I miss the trx4 too...
I was really hoping that was going to do better! I only paid about $100 more for my associates rival mt8 preorder though….hard sell for me! I dig the way it looks though. Bet it would hold up great for backyard bashing and ripping around.
I had the exact same issue on my pirate2 where I need to order extra parts to fix it on Bandgood. Wish that you could put up a video on how you fix those issues.
Loving this one thanks for sharing very important information giving thanks blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪
Kev can you do a head to head with the Slash and the Senton 3s I really wanna see you compare them side by side and say which you think is best . Love the videos bro
Hi Kevin. I am getting the RC Cobra for Christmas and I have a few questions. Is the esc water resistant/ proof? Can you buy upgrade parts or spare parts for it? Is it the best cheapish RC car I can buy? Is the JLB cheetah a good car? Thanks to everyone that reads this.
"ahhhhhhhh wah happened"
Elite quote
Dylan Ivers me too
Same
@DISPATCH MTB AND RC makes it better😂
yeah agreeeeeee
Tumblewumnle s my favorite
6:15 did nobody else notice a part falling off again
Yeah
I think it was just something lying on the ground that the wheels kicked up
That's the fan he was looking for
I saw it
I was just about to write the exact same thing.
Omg... For the price of this, I prefer the cheetah!!!
XD
Agreed. Have a cheetah. In that price range. Cheetah and dhk zombie, no comparison. insane durability
There is something wrong with this car. Jlb cheetah is 10 times better than it.

In all the reviews of this truck, the wheels ALWAYS BREAK IN THE SAME SPOT ON THE SAME TYPE OF JUMP
Hey, I just wanted to ask you Kev (or anyone that has a suggestion) for a good off road rc car that can be kited and customised, there’s no price range!
Skeptic Indian traxxas slash is probably the best car for that
I would say the Traxxas Slash very tough. The weakness may by the drive lines
Xmaxx or arrma 6s
udr
Xmaxx
I love this type of video love you kev
Good job kev😁
Superglue the wheel. Just to see what happens. I am planning to get this, but I'm getting the kit... no electronics... I can put in my own bits. Great vid, as always.
I own two ZD Racing trucks already and have no more issues than with any other truck.
Sorry you're having problems. Good luck.

@@jrbartel1 i got mine from banggood, those were on my 9106 and theres a few things that are an upgrade on the pirate
Keep up the good work Kev 👍🏻
Thanks for your honest reviews !
Keep up the work Kev these are amazing videos I watch every single one keep it up !!
Nice vid 👍👍👍👍👍
very nice video i love your cheap videos keep on going!❤️
Such a good idea for new people to the hobby
I love it when you drop the rc and say subscribe!
My boy Kevin doing the crazy good stuff great video man
Hey kev! Always love these cheapish vids lol great reviews man! Keep em up.
$359 Ain't Cheap My Friend.
cheapish
@@KevinTalbotTV -- ok, cheapISH! Lol!
Thanks Kev!
Cool thanks was loking into this truck.
Nice job.
Keep it clean pat
Love your vids Kev!
That seemed a lot slower on that speed run than on the first run without the speedometer
I'm pretty sure the wheels he put on were considerably heavier

I honestly started dyeing of laughter when you said like if you are cool and dislike if you suuuck
loving the defender
Kev slams off table and ground multiple times also kev:hmmmm?? Why did this break lollllooollolol love the vids kev keep it up
12:08
How many takes did it take to say Kev proof without laughing.
haha
Nothing really is kev proof

Kev Medic has TRX6 already!!!😮😮😮
I got the last version that you tested the pirates v3 and it has been a champ I was thinking of getting this next version but now after this video probably gonna go for the dhk maximus
My pirates 2 is still one of the best purchases I've ever made. Bash it on 4s and the thing takes a beating. Only had to change A arm once.
And to mention I have the 120a esc version
Well, I have just made the discovery that I have been apparently shopping at his store in San Mateo for ages, without knowing it. I always thought it was just a coincidence.
Wow... this is the third review video I've seen where the wheel broke. So... I guess buyers should add the cost of new wheels to the price.
I put Redcat landslide wheels on mine
Not bad but a Traxxas Slash or Rustler VLX is just a tiny bit more money.
Yea and a tiny bit smaller and absolute trash
Arrma big rock crew cab is the best and strong rc car under 400€/$. I Swear its a rock!
Kaizer Test I loved my Slash so much I'm thinking about getting another one.
@@officialclownbusiness7788 Pretty good car. I have a basher and one modded for speed runs on 6s.
Nice vid kev
For $360 I think it's made like a peice of junk
What's wrong with it? I was considering it
@@tbnice9999 first, look the tires :D second, look up the fan of the ESC, then poor aluminium bend easily
@@tbnice9999 never and i said NEVER buy any rc car in aluminium if you are loking for bashing , there is a reason why traxxas xmaxx is totally made on plastic ... they know...
You think
@@xdxe8606 what about the Tekno MT410? it takes more of a beating than any rc that I know
It looks like it was handling pretty good at the skate park on the little jumps.
Same exact thing that happened to this truck on “The RC Saylors” channel. 😂
The wheels are definitely a weak point. With some minor upgrades it could be a good truck.
I have had my v2 and it has been amazing. It was a roller chassis so I added 4s electronics and it takes a major beating
Kev, do you have plan on getting the Hobao Hyper MT 2 Plus? They are almost as big as the Xmaxx.
No they're not they're 1/7 Xmaxx is 1/6 so stop comparing the sizes
@@lilnash7 I know about their scale, that is the reason I said "almost" because of the big size of it(Hyper MT 2 Plus). We know that there are some RC's that is bigger than what their scale are, like the Erevo's which is 1/10 but the size of a 1/8.
Do u have one as I've been thinking of getting one thanks
Lol
WOOHOO FROM TEXAS 😎😎😎
Kev I got a brushless system for my 1/18 scale latrax prerunner
Do a video of it runin
I got a brushless system for my 1/18 la tax Teton and run 2s on it

Nice like the skate park bit
I usually suck but I gave you a thumbs up
At 4:52 you can see the ESC fan fall off after landing just in case you ever wondered where it went lol
Great video Kev n Pat love how you're always checking out these cheaper R/C's always interesting to see how they hold up to the Kevin treatment 😂
Sometimes I'm holding my breath waiting for you to break em 😲😂🤪
These banggood items are like mustard, you love them or you hate them 😂 o4 yoi give them Willie's when you break them🤣🤣 well done pat👌👏👍
It looked cool but she seems to me shedding parts lol great bash🤘🏼👍🏻✌🏻😁
Love videos Kev
6:13 there's your fan blades..
The fan fell off on camera
And then he picked it up
The fan flew out @4:52.
Although I like the reviews... Could you do some more bash videos with the slash and the other cars that were on your channel a lot at 50k subs? I miss the trx4 too...
epic carnage in the cviscinity
Video review proline mt 4×4
Nice video kev I see what you mean in a way it is not kev proof.
New standard In rc " not Kev proof" lol
Hahaha everything standard needs to be kev proofed AKA being modded.
Kev nice vid ! I have a video recomendation
Buy a Traxxas Emaxx I just got one they are quite fun
Totally agree with your assessment I have one ... it's ok
Thumbnail on point
great review and honest. It has its faults but for the price point it will fit my bill, thanks
I was really hoping that was going to do better! I only paid about $100 more for my associates rival mt8 preorder though….hard sell for me! I dig the way it looks though. Bet it would hold up great for backyard bashing and ripping around.
Bang good tough baby , lol
I had the exact same issue on my pirate2 where I need to order extra parts to fix it on Bandgood. Wish that you could put up a video on how you fix those issues.
Kev you need to get the primal mt 5th scale petrol RC
nobody needs that pile of junk..
@@happyhappyjoyjoy6563 yup definitely that thing looks stupid as hell
Not sure if anyone has tried this yet, spray foam in a can in place of foam strips inside of tire and wheel assembly.
that thumbnail looks kinda........THICC
This is the 2nd review of this truck that I have seen that a wheel broke like that.
Nice music.. great edit
Hey keV, can you do some review of wltoys a929 1/8 scale?
Love your vids btw
Loving this one thanks for sharing very important information giving thanks blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪
I’d buy a rustler, cause I have one I put trenchers and a 2s and it’s just as fast. P.S m’y dream is to come bash with you.
wait, so if i suck, i cant click the like button? fine
Kev can you do a head to head with the Slash and the Senton 3s I really wanna see you compare them side by side and say which you think is best . Love the videos bro
i dont have one at the mo
Kevin Talbot I hope you do get around to it bro I would love to see you pit them against one another and give your honest opinion as always

I love when he say *Subscibed* hahaha im already Subscribed;)
Looks beautiful but wouldn't get it if u have to fix the diff from the box lol. Sweet car when fixed up tho man
yah loving the videos
You said that you’d go easy on it 🤣🤣
Yes it is
Not bad! Decent price too! Too bad the one guy who dislikes this video sucks 🤦🏽♂️
Trailer Trash Racing 78 people suck
this would be a disaster for a 1st time RC user.
Do videos with a stampede 4x4 vxl!
I don’t mind a servo not being super fast if it’s strong enough to not strip gears on landings etc
Ki Kev. Can you give Pat one of your GoPros. I really enjoy watching you guys but I´m getting dizzy looking at his videos. 😁👍
Anything that's not an x maxx is considered "cheap"
I had the same problem I had to put a bit of small fuel tubing by the front gear box .
Props for getting your buddy up and about. He sure needs it.
Tell Pat that Traxxas makes a Phone Mount for the TQi!
Bro nooooooo I accidentally put thumbs down and it said the creator was notified noooo but I put thumbs up right away
Hey nice vid
