Bought 2 Traxxas Slash 4x4vxl’s about 6 months ago as a start to the hobby for my son and I. Paid $425 each for them. With normal usage (ZERO huge jumps or skate parks ) I’m into both cars nearly $500 IN PARTS. Replaced everything on both cars except the speed controllers and servos. Not a cheap hobby. Just the other day I was pondering with a coworker wether or not if guys who buy a $1000 RC like this come out better OR did they buy a 1000 car & still wind up replacing everything like I did? Having 2 of them means every time we have a failure I go ahead and buy the upgrade for both cars. Adds up quick I tell you. Love your content Kevin 👋🏼
super late lol but. I have had my max for 6 months doing huge jumps skateparks beaches etc. a-arms drive shafts is the only thing I have to replace. Well the esc aswell but everyone swaps those because the maxx ones are trashy
Have you ever thought of building an RC from known good parts, be they RC manufacturer or aftermarket to see if it’s cheaper to build it right from the get go?
Awesome stuff Kev 😱. The time we spent testing the M2C HDP payed off 😍. No more busted bell cranks!!! The 8s Backflips with +15mm hexes are absolutely perfect on her. Killer upload Brother 🍻
KT, for tyres I ended up using MadMax 5ive-T beadlock mini pins, (stick 5ive-T tyres will work as well), w/duct tape on the inside. A bit smaller, but no ballooning or de-gluing. Also went with a Reefs 1/5 scale servo, which did require some chassis mods, but well worth it.
That 3D printed wing mount was printed in the wrong orientation. It should have been printed vertically so it won't rely on the layers to hold it together.
WOW!! AWESOME bash ! I cant believe you landed some of those!! What a fun day!! Thanks for punishing the parts! M2CHDP for the win!! Wingmount in testing now, chassis brace in design phase. Coming soon!
Have you noticed the elastomer wearing out quickly? I’ve been installing GPM aluminum Cush housings and find they work a lot better. GPM also make a mod 1.5 pinion and spur for the Xmaxx stock system and so far I’ve found them to be excellent, planning on doing the same for the xrt
This vid looks sooo sick like every time 🔥🔥💪💪. I watch many videos from your channel and it's sooo fun😁😁🔥. I want to ride an RC car for sooo long but it's soo expensive for a good one🙃. KEEP GOING WITH YOUR CHANNEL!!🔥🔥
Mr. Talbot, what is your professional opionion on the fun factor and durability of the XRT? Is it in fact a buggy version of the XMAXX? Preliminary videos from ones I trust, like you, show it is not as great as billed to be, Please reply. Thank you for your great, unbiased vids!
Hey Kev, you should totally get a losi mini b, same parts as the mini t but its more of a faster/one you can upgrade more. Its pretty cheap too. Anyways keep up the great work!
Pay $1000, limited to upgrades in chassis, it is like a cheap hotel 0 ball room. The pin hinges on arms pop out/bend, tires blow up, drivetrain rips apart completely(hw ESC installed).... I sent it back for a full refund. $1000 usd and the thing is garbage. Engine back came off.... WORST RC EVER FOR THE $, JUST LIKE XMAXX. Made for the little man copping with small man syndrome. Words of wisdom, Traxxas is excellent 3s down, I own 4. Anything bigger go else where or have deep pockets. All the extra things Kevin does are necessary for longevity/durability of a Traxxas 6s+, after spending the $1000 dollars on the rig. Your at 2k easily for batteries and charger, tires, new electronics (cause Traxxas electronics belong in a dumpster past 3s) and than all the extra money to buy parts to even fit the new electronics. It's a nice way to say "welcome to the family, your gonna have to buy your way out."
I simply want to have a RC bash session with kev and have a crew of people who just want to drive RCs all the time! Get the kids involved and teach them. That would be ABSOLUTELY EPIC!
like a real car with power these will self destruct out of the box if you are too rough on em took me one helion animus bell housing rebuild to never wanna get back into it
I just clocked mine up at 65mph my battery’s cell was bad that’s why it wouldn’t go 60mph because one of your batteries cells is bad if it shows puffed up. Yeah no good. Time for a new battery
the rear wing mount problem looks like itll never end .where it is connected is too close, further in would make more sense design wise two bolt positions would make a big difference, but it looks like its designed to break easily tut tut traxxas
Veryy nicceee video! :D. But what is the background music named at: 3:48 and 4:55 and at 8:02? I want that music for my video's two :D. The car and the upgrades are also insane (but expensive😅)!!!
Who else watched this on rumble the day before??
Not me
What?
Nope
uhh no
No. And why would you look at it twice?
Armma everything’ is better !!! Those Traxxas tires nooooo good as always !.
Blows my mind how tough RC cars have gotten!
6:16 you have a whole list 🤣

Because of your channel I'm reliving my childhood
I'd love to see your annual parts invoice assuming you pay for everything you use
He's sponsored
I just love watching these videos. Great to see all your mates loving life. Stay young guys!!!!
Max gives zero shits! Kev 2.0 🤣
These Are my favorite video's - take a car or truck thats broken, upgrade it and go race or Bash 💪👍🇩🇰
Close to 2m kev!!
Nice!
Kev is the part number for the steel pinion TRX6481X
Awesome stuff Kev 😱. The time we spent testing the M2C HDP payed off 😍. No more busted bell cranks!!! The 8s Backflips with +15mm hexes are absolutely perfect on her. Killer upload Brother 🍻
Looks Like we have some Mark Rober music going in👀👍
Sooo close from the 2m subscribers. I hope you get it soon🔥🔥🔥
So close cep going
1 year later he’s got 2.98 mil

NICE upgrades On the XRT Kevin...I always enjoy watching your videos Kevin..Thanks again man
You guys are hilarious doing all the stuff the rest of us regulars wish we could do.
That 3D printed wing mount was printed in the wrong orientation. It should have been printed vertically so it won't rely on the layers to hold it together.
For £1200 I would never expect to have to upgrade it. Is crazy to me
Yeah my Kraton 6s is half the price and I can bash it as hard as I want and it won’t break with out upgrading it
@@henrywood5462 exactly why it’s better
I mean most probably wouldn't, look at the abuse it's been given
You don’t have to upgrade, I want to
@@KevinTalbotTV I mean if you want it to be a weak £1200 car then sure you can leave it as it is
Man, you are so entertaining, your videos makes me smile ! I'm actually getting back in the hobby !
I have been watching your channel and got me into r c cars
Nice modifications for extreme bushing 👍😂
The $1k price tag makes this video even better.
the hole inte bottom is for airflow so the servo doesnt overheat
And for little rocks so they dont get stuck between the steering assembly
It would be sick if you had your own piece of land! You could build some awesome jumps, track, crawler course etc!😊
That was a good Wip that you gave it
The vents on the bottom are for venting the servo, the Traxxas ones are very weak and crap out easily.
M2C for the win again!!! You just can't beat ole mitch's parts! Every part I've ever got from M2C has been amazing!!!
I love these bash videos. Makes me want to go out with my cars!
The mark rober music though
Xmaxx’s still the king ✌🏼
For sure indeed
Man Kev, I absolutely love your content! Please, please, please.. give us more love on the XRT it’s such a good platform!
Kev , I"d love to see you build an RC that would be Kevin Talbot approved! Truly would be epic to see you design something that could hit the market.
Play around with steering gyros and motocross tracks. You'll have a lot more fun with the bigger trucks.

I just got this video and it is 3:30 am in Canada
Love from Sri Lanka ❤️🔥😇🇱🇰
Another day another good vid
WOW!! AWESOME bash ! I cant believe you landed some of those!! What a fun day!! Thanks for punishing the parts! M2CHDP for the win!! Wingmount in testing now, chassis brace in design phase. Coming soon!
Mini max for the durability win 😂
Make a vid about the new rustler vxl 2wd please
Nice Video Kev! also good luck vs Tomley, can't wait for that video!
Max”that’s skill” Smash “ that car was in the way lol love it
Fyi perfect pass servo is programmable. Rebrand AGF servo.
Awesome video Kevin Talbot you are awesome from the United States bro
hmmmm
Broke the pinion gear on the second run after unboxing. Shopping for parts as I'm typing this.
What a awsome video Kevin, the parts makes the car holding up bigtime❤️❤️
My favorite part is how you did all those upgrades and didn’t get a single mph gain. That had to hurt just a little.
I like the heavy bash results because the average user will never break these parts. But if you do go full send, Kev shows what to upgrade and how
I love how you make your videos they always find ways to make my day and make me laugh thanks for all your hard work kev
Looks like a great time with all your friends in the park there Kev. Looks like there are one or two things to iron out with the design of the XRT.
Have you noticed the elastomer wearing out quickly? I’ve been installing GPM aluminum Cush housings and find they work a lot better. GPM also make a mod 1.5 pinion and spur for the Xmaxx stock system and so far I’ve found them to be excellent, planning on doing the same for the xrt
Loving the edit on this video
I love watching your videos
Looks like a very impressive truck. Nice mods
This vid looks sooo sick like every time 🔥🔥💪💪. I watch many videos from your channel and it's sooo fun😁😁🔥. I want to ride an RC car for sooo long but it's soo expensive for a good one🙃. KEEP GOING WITH YOUR CHANNEL!!🔥🔥
Watched now, brilliant. Lol... mission impossible. Ha

Hello and thanks for reaching out. To answer your question
Hey Kev, you should totally get a losi mini b, same parts as the mini t but its more of a faster/one you can upgrade more. Its pretty cheap too. Anyways keep up the great work!
I been thinking about getting one they look pretty good I love my Xmaxx
The front and rear upper bulkheads are a weak point as well. I had to replace mine after 4 battery packs.
Wasn’t happy about that.
TIL servo testers are a thing... that seems REALLY useful
I have the all black special edition and its way to nice to bash
man that max is brutal
Proper muppet laugh that was 🤣
These type of videos are the best, Kev.
I love em. My wallet, not so much.
seems like xmaxx is still the way to go
Definitely, the XRT only came for the Christmas business:-)
Love the videos much love from the US🤙🏾
Love the channel, great upgrades with some awesome M2C products!!!
Cranky mate, belted tires 😊
Is niiiiice. I still think Xmaxx is best as you can thrash it out the box.
Kevin your at 1.98m subscribers you have came a long ways man keep up all the great videos
Traxxas erevo 1/16 videos please
Wish xrt was 4x4 it should have been from the get go thats why i stick with my slash 4x4 vxl 70+ mph best basher out there in my opinion
Kev what do you like better an XRT or an X MAXX? Whick one would you buy first if you had to chose between the two?
Great video as always Kev.
This is basically a whole new version of the XRT. Call it the XRT Pro
Too much modification his ideas are so amazing 👏
Can you please do a review on the ftx outlaw ultra 4??? 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
