Kevin I went 12s with my Xmaxx it’s not pretty. If you drive it on road you would shred the diffs on sudden throttle. Unless your doing speed run 12s is not for bashing.
I run the max5 118SD combo in my xmaxx now for about 5 months, I had to switch out to mod 1.5 gearing as every other time out i'd shred the mod1 pinion/spur. I got some pretty nasty bashing videos but not flat-out full trigger goodness like you do sir. Great video as always dude. It's so fun to see someone just hold full trigger and not care if things blow up. Im glad you do it so I dont have to. Also, my wallet is happier its happening to yours and not mine. What is it you always say, "could have been worse, could have been mine" hahaha.
The tires can't hold up! By replacing it with a motor with incredible power and speed, the X-Max is so powerful that it feels like it's flying into the sky. awesome.👍👍👍
One of your best videos!!! My daughter is 8 and loves you. She learned so much on this particular one though! Her engineering skills are blossoming because of you!Thank you. She also learned that she has to fix what she breaks and what breaks is easy to fix!!B)
Hey There Kevin. I've been watching your videos ever since I got cancer. I've made a RUclips channel and did other stuff but when I watched your video on the sg1603 baron drift truck and I've never had as much as fun as i did when I bought it after my parents died. I'd be really happy if you could do some crazy stuff to the sg1603 like putting a 3s or 6s in it. I'd love to have a smile in my last days of my life. Thanks Kevin.
Thing is a beast I have beat mine so much I am going to buy another one tomorrow after having my original 8s for 2-3 now! things are absolutely legit and one of the easiest to work on could not decide on xrt or xmaxx another xmaxx it is!
Kev, if you want a magnetic tip, wrap a coated cooper wire around the driver and touch each end to a battery. If you dont want it magnetic, slide the driver out while touching the battery and it will de magnetize it.
Keving, I've done nothing but watch your videos the last two weeks. I bought my first Hobby Grade RC car, I bought the TRX-4 Traxx! Its such a fun car, but I wish it was faster. You should do a video of upgrades youd do to turn it into a crawler/basher! Much Love from the US.
Pro line has really "shat the bed" lately in their quality control dept. That happens some times with new found popularity. They are trying to keep up rather than make sure every set of wheels is as good as what made them popular. The 12S experience is going exactly as I figured it would but good laughs none the less. Oh Kev, thanks for having the balls to try things no one else does.😅😂
Since Horizon Hobby acquired them it seems quality has gone down. Same as their customer service with their other acquired companies. It's too bad as it's hurting the reputation the smaller companies have/had. Kevin I'm liking these newer videos. They are showing having genuine fun, which are more enjoyable to watch. Keep it up 👍
Needs nose weight. At glamis the drag sand cars that are pushing 2700 hp put a lot of weight in the nose to prevent the same thing happening at full scale. Only good for speed runs though obviously.
Just a advice, but if you really want to know how fast you can go on 12s, you need to program the throttle. It will need a bit to figure out the increase line, but that's the only way to keep traction. That won't stop you from blowing up the tires, but at least at the max speed 🙂Btw... why does nobody vulcanize the propper rubbermix direkt on to metal rims? Also for the speed record attempts?
Hey Kev try taking your magnet and rubbing it one direction about 20 times. You won't have to leave the magnet on the bit. That's how we used to magnetize screwdrivers
Try adding weights on the front of any over powered RC to prevent wheelies. That way we can really see what their capabilities really are with all four traction on the ground
Hi Kev! I’m 8yrs old and I think my Rustler VXL 2WD is going to last for a long time and it’s super fun to drive. It’s nearly faster than the cars in my street! I love your videos, they are cool. From Zack in Australia.
As far as being "bulletproof", I would keep the 12s system in it and just run 8. Better to have an overpowered system running at 70% power than a lower powered system running at 100%.
Traxxas pretty much nails that balance between performance and destruction straight out of the box ! For real speed runs on that X-Maxx, put some weight on the front end.
First thing I would do with all that power is lock the center diff, and add some kind of ballast in the front. To bad the long travel shocks were leaking. That would have been nice too for the extra load.
That was awesome Kev ... but I do think the point of having that much power should have been flips ... how many can you get ... and can you go from back to front flips, etc.
Please put raminator wheels on the Rear only (see if you can blow them up) paddle tyres on the front so can steer properly (if they blow change for sparkling wheels) with extended wheelie bar possibly slower gear ratio so faster acceleration possibly add little weight to the front to counter balance the weight of the tyres should be some good fun 👌👌 love your videos ❤❤
The Tork on that truck is absolutely Crazy the only way I can think 🤔 it could work is on a Pulling Track or Mud Boog👍 BaBa Smell like Victory Ya yah 💪
Gotta love that awesome clipless body! It gets me plenty of exercise chasing it down to put it on after every crash. Fun fact: It will go on backwards after a while and if you're not paying attention is quite a surprise when you hit the throttle.
No big.jumps , I just run it about so stock is good for me . Rpm hinge pins rpm rear hub and bearings 2085x servo should last a lifetime. 😊 so thank you kev for all the xmaxx videos you have made. Very helpful educational and so funny.
Sometimes I find using the throttle on low throttle trim and increase the trim when you're comfortable to work better with some controllers on faster RC's

Maybe try mounting the wheelying gyro from the RC bike. 😂

Yep

Yeah😂😂
As an American I could only see Cheese Bot seeking petrol.
herp
5:36 Those tires defied ALL physics in the rc world 😂
Kevin has one of the best attitudes in the hobby world...
The real world testing we need for 2024...😎
You're getting sooo good at editing bro. My gawd, this was a fun watch.
Appreciate it!!

That x maxx got split in half faster than my bank account after buying one😂
we both play beamng nice
@BeamClipsYT what ur fav mod?
classic kev talbot video . smooth editing . fixing rc cars then sending to the moon .
holy shit your really good at replaceing parts in them
This video was pure insanity! It is one for the record books for belly laughs. Damn, Kevin, you about made a grown man pee himself. 😂😂
haha glad you enjoyed it!!!
I want one I want the x-maxx god is good
Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!12s

You should 12s the Xrt, it may not wheelie as much and may perform a lot better because of the lower center of gravity
I bought my first Xmaxx last week, and i wouldn't have if it weren't for your legendary videos Kev! Keep it up!
Thing is a beast I have beat mine so much I am going to buy another one tomorrow after having my original 8s for 2-3 now! things are absolutely legit and one of the easiest to work on could not decide on xrt or xmaxx another xmaxx it is!
Kevin’s motto should be if it ain’t broke it ain’t right
The wheels are literal frisbees
only 1 Kevin Talbot, he cannot be replaced
BROOOO 12S is CRAZY I GOT THE ARRMA VORTKES AND THATS 3s AND THAT GOES 60+ mph IMPESSIVE KEV
"I don't think he's happy" I reckon he had a bit of a smirk on his face and was having a chuckle
yea am sure he was enjoying that.
Kev, if you want a magnetic tip, wrap a coated cooper wire around the driver and touch each end to a battery. If you dont want it magnetic, slide the driver out while touching the battery and it will de magnetize it.
i have been having a bad day and 5 minutes of watching already put a smile on my face, thank you Kevin
Is it weird that I find myself doing that opera thing (yah, yah, yah, yah, yah.. yah yah yah.. yah yah yah) from your videos when I launch my RCs?
Note to self: 12s in an X-Maxx, BAD!!!
Epic vid Kevin, Had some serious power though!!!
Your videos always give me the biggest smiles!
56mph backflip is insane power 😳
always an awesome good time!! thanks for posting!!

He has done a video where he modified a TRX 4 with bigger motor and more S's... pretty impressive!

Proline was the best (back in my ancient day) but once acquired by Horizon what more could you expect than crap!
Add a drag bar for top speed 12s runs? 🤔 #monstertruckdragracing
Needs nose weight. At glamis the drag sand cars that are pushing 2700 hp put a lot of weight in the nose to prevent the same thing happening at full scale. Only good for speed runs though obviously.
That's awesome! Can't believe how well it held up, thanks for doing this!

the treaxxas xmax is such a legendary car!
Kev that is what it did put a smile on our faces thanx. What about some weight in the front like tractors do ? Give it a bash
Then it’ll probably nose dive on jumps. Only for flat ground
Try adding weights on the front of any over powered RC to prevent wheelies. That way we can really see what their capabilities really are with all four traction on the ground
I have been watching Kev for years, and his accent never get's old.
MORE POWER !!!!! THAT THING IS INSANE ON 12S HOLY CRAP !!!
Awesome Content Kevin
5:50 love when he let's out and it sounds like a turbo shutter ❤
Hi Kev! I’m 8yrs old and I think my Rustler VXL 2WD is going to last for a long time and it’s super fun to drive. It’s nearly faster than the cars in my street! I love your videos, they are cool. From Zack in Australia.
I don't know but if this giant motor goes direct drive in a 1/8 rc car, it might even beat the record 😮
As always man, great vids ❤
Kevin please put a wheelie bar on the Xmas
Probably one of the most entertaining channels on you tube.
I entered the raffel. You rock kevin!
Put a ballast arm on the front to get to full speed. That's why rail dragsters are so long. More powa more length!!!
Put on a Drag bar and try again
The badlands look EPIC!
Kev back at it 😂
always excited to see a video coming out the energy you give off and the stuff you do is right up my ally keep up the good work kevin
As far as being "bulletproof", I would keep the 12s system in it and just run 8. Better to have an overpowered system running at 70% power than a lower powered system running at 100%.
11:14 "litoo car litoo car"🤣🤣🤣
That is insanely powerful. So much power that it’s not practical anymore. 😮
Completely over the top. Which for Kev is perfect :)
Now you need to do 16S and double the stock S’s and stock voltage 😁
Only thing left to try is the xrt ;P
Traxxas pretty much nails that balance between performance and destruction straight out of the box ! For real speed runs on that X-Maxx, put some weight on the front end.
6:22 "you guys want it you guys got it" ok, thanks, now I want Jennifer Aniston, make it happen!! 🙂
KEVIN TALBOT IS BUCK WILD CRAZY !!! In a good sort of way - He experiments for us ( of course he can afford too)
Kev you always do amazing work ,keep it up 👍
Rolling up a doobie and getting my coffee for this one
Best way to start the day ❤ love your vids
First thing I would do with all that power is lock the center diff, and add some kind of ballast in the front. To bad the long travel shocks were leaking. That would have been nice too for the extra load.
You have everything battery power and yet you still use wired vacuum cleaner 😂❤
that man in the winndow
Dang that's epic makes me want to do that to an X-Maxx
This guy make more toy rc cars go boom
@prolineracingYT needs to check the quality of their products!
That was awesome Kev ... but I do think the point of having that much power should have been flips ... how many can you get ... and can you go from back to front flips, etc.
The 12s mod gives the term "self righting" a complete new meaning :D
Can't imagine how insane that power must be as the X-Maxx is huge anyway.
Kevin, with the 12S, you need to put a damn wheely bar on the back of it just to keep the front end down!!!
That was so much faster than I thought it would be 😂😂
Awesome bro, I don’t think I need 12s anymore 😂
Awesome editing Kev! Thanks for sharing!
this dude is a dork. I'm totally here for it.
Will you give me one please 😮😮😮
12s is the bomb 💣
DBXL-E definitely needs a monster locker in the centre, only decent way to stop the fronts ballooning and subsequently exploding.
Please put raminator wheels on the Rear only (see if you can blow them up) paddle tyres on the front so can steer properly (if they blow change for sparkling wheels) with extended wheelie bar possibly slower gear ratio so faster acceleration possibly add little weight to the front to counter balance the weight of the tyres should be some good fun 👌👌 love your videos ❤❤
Higher speed gears and raminator wheels should be really quick on that beast 👌🔥🔥💚💚
I enjoy your presentation. Endless laughs. Thank you.
Ok I bought a ticket for your Raffal lol. Not a clue when the last time I bought a raffle ticket even was. Couldn't resist that package.
The Tork on that truck is absolutely Crazy the only way I can think 🤔 it could work is on a Pulling Track or Mud Boog👍 BaBa Smell like Victory Ya yah 💪
Of course Kev is the only one to wayyyy over power a XMAXX!! WHAT HAPPENED
Bet that would be a good combo for the slash 😂
12s Kevin Lol 😂
Edit: Ngl, the thumbnail looks like the x-maxx on raminator wheels
Bro cracks me up with what he's willing to do to these cars 😅😂
Gotta love that awesome clipless body! It gets me plenty of exercise chasing it down to put it on after every crash.
Fun fact: It will go on backwards after a while and if you're not paying attention is quite a surprise when you hit the throttle.
I miss the typhon! Bring it back kev!! That car is a beast
No big.jumps , I just run it about so stock is good for me . Rpm hinge pins rpm rear hub and bearings 2085x servo should last a lifetime. 😊 so thank you kev for all the xmaxx videos you have made. Very helpful educational and so funny.

I really like your video
Mavercik quantum MT please😊
You need to look at adding weight to the front and maybe adding a front wing to improve the downforce.
hoover action was so funny, never thought I'd see Kev say too much
