@PeroLadan1 Kevin shows the EXTREME of what abuse these RC cars can take. Look at it as proving grounds! Now you know just how far you can push and judge for yourself if you want to push it or save the car for another day of RC fun
I just bought this truck at a pawn shop for $600. It was a pavement princess and wasn't even broke in. I've dreamed of this car for years, I still can't believe I have one now.
Hell yeah buddy how are you liking it so far? I just bought a roller for $300 and have the missing electronics on its way for $200. Just gotta wait till they're here and its ON!!!
I knew nothing about rc's when I first started watching Kevin's videos, now that's all I want to do. Exactly what he's doing. Always having a good time with friends, fixing, upgrading and bashing. I have learned so much from watching Kevin. Wish I could send him my rc and have him upgrade everything. That would be nifty. Native Alaskan rc-er here. Subscribe and don't forget to smash the bell!
@@davehoward22 owning such expensive RC cars is a luxury item to have. Not everyone can afford 1 grand only for a piece of toy let alone the other components you must have for the full experience.
My RCs been in storage for about 12 years, after watching you mate, I’ve just ordered dumboRC radio and I’m gonna revive them 😅😅 ty Kevin! You’re the man
I WISH THEY WOULD JUST EXTEND THE WHEELBASE... 1.5 INCHES SO THE BLOODY THING STOPS FLIPPING ON FULL THROTTLE BRO, PISSES ME OFF 😢😢😢😢😢😢😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 LOVE YA TALBOT
Bought mine a year ago. And that’s exactly how mine is. Don’t have time for any of my RC’s with life and such. But I love my trucks. Love your channes KEV!!! Watch them as soon as the notification pops up. Been in the hobby for 20 years. Just don’t get to play like used to. But I don’t think I’ll ever stop having them around. I look forward to your world record speed attempt. Good luck. And give them hell!!! 👍🏻👍🏻🤟🏻
Im pushing 50, and just got my first one, used. You can do it, if you really want too. It may take some time, extra shift, change in circumstance or even luck, but you can do it if you really want to. That applies to darn mear everything in life. Good luck😊
My 9 year old actually started to cry watching this vid... Because it`s too expensive in our country to have such toys and he likes RC so much .... he was like ... "Dad why are they doing this to the XMAXX".....
I was just thinking, isn't this like spitting on the people that can't afford a decent RC car?! I mean, there isn't even some crazy excuse to annihilate the cars, it's just gratuit destruction for the sake of views. Yeah, I feel like some line was crossed. This isn't fun, it's just sad.
I used to have rc cars, had one of the first nitros that came out that would do over 70 mph, which back then was insane, but I didn't have sponsors or RUclips to help pay for all them pieces and parts back then were expensive. They wanted so much for little plastic pieces that broke every single time you took it out and messed around with it. If they hadn't gotten so greedy I'd still be into them till this day, but I refuse to pay $17 for a piece of plastic that's gonna break 5 seconds into it. They have figured how to make certain parts just strong enough that you will break them and have to keep buying replacements to continue ur already much invested fun. You get even one sucker, I mean customer that owns a sizable collection. That's alot of parts sold that cost them almost nothing... no thanks will find a different hobby that's not gonna bleed me dry. But they are fun and u are fun to watch so 👍 to u.
“Can’t afford” is something you can control. Get a job or two, or three if you have to, and work hard. Most of our problems in life are something we can control by making smart choices. Trouble is most people now are too lazy and choose to sit on their ass and complain that they have nothing instead of going and doing something about it. I’m not saying you’re that way, I don’t know you. But I’m saying don’t follow in the footsteps of people that complain they have nothing. Instead follow the footsteps of those that realize their life is in their control and nobody else is going to look out for them so they take charge and do what they have to do, to get what they want. Best of luck to you, work hard and make clean money and have lots of fun.
I have 2 and a outcast 8s...of course my kids are grown and working...a lot of money left over to go bk to playing..48 yrs old..getya some boyeeee..you'll be there one day..till then qbap😅
@@emersonb5764 bro calm down . Don't think everybody's life is same as yours. Maybe the person can be a handicapped, poor family background and he needs to feed his family on his own salary, he have lack of education so he gt less pay job and extra2. So before talk , think about a person's situation. If he said couldn't effort ,he might have many issues . ❤🎉
I wish I had the collection he does. Remember years ago when I worked at a hobby shop and everything was nitro. Seems like industry is going all electric. I miss the nitro stuff at times. Just picked up a DBXL gasser, and next on my list is a new xmaxx. Glad I ran across this video. Few things I need to order from the get go. What I really want is the Primal RC truck. Was awesome to see that one on here.
Agree with this. I get that kev has money to do this and I don't know if max is from a wealthy family but he comes up with really annoying ideas to just wreck cars. They even lined the car up and you could see it wouldnt fit through the gap but apparently max thinks it will make it. It's a bit like the guys that buy new games consoles on launch day then smash them up in front of the people that have stood queueing for ages but can't get one cos they have sold out.
I know kev goes hard on his rc cars but at least he doesn't come up with a ridiculous idea that will definitely destroy the car. Not saying max is a bad guy or anything but it makes me not wanna watch the videos
I think the plastic keeps production price down, but I don’t know how much that carries over to the purchase price. These things are expensive! One day I’ll have one
Hey Kev, picked up my first xmaxx a couple weeks ago and have been following your mods on your various rigs over the years. One question, the screw you put in the steering post.... can you let me know the size of it? Was debating using a pull dowel also. Keep up the kick ass vids!
Kev I really enjoyed this video seeing you gear up a new Xmaxx. Great editing and who doesn’t love a new fresh Xmaxx! Would be sweet to win that beast. But either way if I get another Xmaxx one day I’m gonna paint it that red I do love that signature red of yours it looks great on any rc 🇨🇦👋
No, you don’t have to drill out the arms for the RPM hinge pins. The threads stick out the little hole and you put the nut on. Because of this I was drilling them out then just put a pin in forgetting to drill and put the nut on “oh, that was easy”
No matter what the next xmaxx they always maintain durability and strength performance without compromising structural integrity or overall quality i just wish prices in the market weren't so high but this machine is worth the $$ i say machine because these are beasts and so much more than a toy thanks Kevin keep going!!!!!!
AGFRC makes really good servos. I run one in my Fireteam and it hasn't failed yet despite me running a really stiff servo saver to increase high speed steering.
I remember thinking $550 was a lot for my Revo 3.3, 12 or 13 years ago. A grand, before upgrades, and "good" batteries. The hobby just stopped being fun when it started costing as much as real car to play.
Ya the used market for rc cars right now is awesome like I just bought myself another car for my collection and it was a 500 dollar used xmaxx it works as it should it great
I see it as him doing the stress test of them all. No way would I be trying to jump a house... so if it survives one of these extreme jumps, well it should do very well for the smaller jumps ill be doing.
Seriously impressed with your vids, Ive been deciding on an rc for a little while and narrowed down my choices to a handful. I was curious about what upgrades Id need out of the box just to make things a bit easier for the different models, and it turns out for EVERY model Im considering you have a video of essential upgrades haha. Thats wild.

The opposite is also true 😜
He definitely got me into RC cars
It would be youtube and a lot of people wouldn't have liked rc card u know😊
Kevin is the guy who lives the life we all wanted to live as kids and me at the age of 32 years. One day I will get one Xmax too I promise! 🤞

Kev! Can we see a video where you build an RC car from the ground up exclusively from your old parts bins?
They need to offer the X Maxx as a roller
What about 2 stroke 😂
kinda easy to put that together yourself bud
@@ShazammtheProducer ?
@Shazzam Not cost effective at all though. Probably cheaper to buy an X-Maxx and sell the electronics.
That would be awsome. Great idea! Roller with a clear body
Kevin: X-Maxx is the worlds best RTR Basher!
Also Kevin: $350 in upgrades first!!
Lol that motor and esc alone cost 350, that servo 150, gears etc you might as well get a used V2 and upgrade it lol.
@@jaybomb5022just sell the traxxas esc and servo brand new and it will take the cost of the better upgrades more easy to swallow
Those upgrades are not necessary. You weren't listening
And arrma needs a $1000. So what’s your point?
You've got love in the U.S bud. We love your videos over here. Tons of fans that buy RCs cause of your videos

I would love to just race around the track with him then go for a bash!!! I absolutely love his content, everything from RC to his Game Over truck.

Sounds good . Lol those are my words.

I’ve watched you do this to countless xmaxxes and it’s always just as entertaining
I recon Kevin still secretly paid from the damage. Or at least went halves. He seems like that kinda guy.

Hey Kev, question on these out of the box Xmaxxs do you do anything with the center differential? heavier weight oil? ear plugs? leave it stock?
I leave it stock
That Dynamite GPS has certainly earned its stripes......😂
This channel has turned into one of those channels that just breaks stuff like those that buy new iPhones just to bend them.
Saw a used one today at my local hobby shop. For a really good price. So tempting...

And you good Sir ,You are my Scott Kilmer on RC cars. What would be without you 😁
Nooooo. Run it out of the box.
Kev, Just an fyi, I bought an XMaxx because of you! I love it.
Does Max actually enjoy driving RCs or just purposely breaking them? I don't get the point in just destroying them. Stupid.
I totally agree!! Been thinking the same thing!!

I bought an Xmaxx two years ago, it is fantastic fun with a crazy but controlled drive. The dogs bollocks. Great content as ever.
The only ones that demand M2C upgrades are ones you are shooting 40 ft into the air.
For me the best rc car is the traxxas slash 4x4 vxl or the hoss. But now that i saw your vid i love my x maxx as well.
Love your vids!!
looks like your a real professional stunt driver there KEV up on the two side wheels 😁 .
Thanks to you I bought the Xmaxx and didn't regret it a bit. You are the best Kevin!
I love the XMAXX! It's mad! It took me a long time to get one. But, I finally got one!
I want to see a video with the red at backdraft 8e! that thing is so forgotten and underrated
OMG I just bought one a month ago. I gotta check to see if I got old one.
Nice when you pile on the power the car flips over .and lands on its wheels
