Hey kev, ive been watching your videos for 2 years now and i just wanted to say: You really changed my life in those 2 years. i was always playing with my ps4 and pc but then i saw the fun in rc's because of you. I bought my first rc car after a year i always use it. now i hardly play on my computers i am always outside drivin my cars. I just wanted to say: Thank you for everything!! 👍💪😋
I'm totally getting one now! I've ALWAYS wanted an invictus. When Helion discontinued it, I was really sad. Now that I know it's literally the same thing, I'm 100% getting one. And maybe some classic tmaxx style tires to match. I'm so happy! lol
All your videos made me start buying hobby grades no more toy grades it's a very good feeling to have one . because it's better than a figgit spinner. an a stupid video games but get you one an you will see that it feels like a tiny go kart. every thing that a real car do aka vehicle this things can do. Thanks alot Kevin for turning me out on tha hobby grades.
I bought this little beast and i've modified it: 25 kg servo, 3660 3300kv motor, 80A esc, metal spur gear and a gyroscope! Now it flies! ( over 110 km/h with a 4s lipo).
Hey, did they (FS-Racing) take care of the differential issue? People were reporting that the differential case was too brittle or bent on 3S which made the gear mesh inside change and break/chew up the spider gears. I waited for an actual video of the latest release of this truck and they seem to have made further improvement. The shocks look very pro, now. And it really comes with a 3S battery like people mentioned already in BG buyer comment section. Unfortunately Kevin doesn't address the diff issues. If FS-Racing really sorted that out than this is the best 1/10th scale truck for the money, especially with the cheap part supply.
Yes! The only problem with this truck is the differential: if you run with a 3s ( or in my case with a 4s) there is an high probability to broke the spider gears! But it isn't a big problem cause you can buy this spare part(and many others) on BG with a few euro!
I was really interested in this rig when I first got in the hobby n almost bought one, I thought it was so cool that an RC could cross on top of water. Great vid Kev!
This thing is the EXACT design of the Helion Invictus! Same chassis, suspension, and such. My helion came with a spektrum system and a 3500kv motor 3s compatible. Definitely want this truck to add to my collection I'm starting. Just got my Arrma big rock v3 today.
I do agree with the plastic body because I have a nitro and electric rustler and I am rough on both and have broken a few parts but the frame barely has scratches
I bought this truck months ago loosen the slipper clutch a little or you will blow out your differential gears this truck is fast and takes a beating for the price i love it, if you need parts it is a helion invictus copy i used some invictus parts on it it works
Kevin, first off love your videos.from Connecticut USA. I would love to see you upgrade a wltoys 10428 green buggy with a brushless and better suspension for better stability.
Mark my words. You can find most of the rc cars from banggood on ebay and banggood can never beat ebay's price. I usually don't comment on videos but I just wanted your subscribers to save some bucks buying on ebay rather than banggood. I know you're paid by Banggood and cannot tell people not to buy from Banggood. Btw, I don't have much money to buy branded rc cars. So I buy chinese rc cars mostly. Some of them are wltoys, gptoys and so on.
Was never even sent as was out of stock when ordered. They told me its been refunded and basically my bank thats at fault....worse company ever even the fake looking pic of some so called proof looked dumb.
FS RACING VICTORY was the clone of HELION INVICTUS that was discontnued, so don't be surprised about it. even their parts are interchangeable. I have that FS RACING VICTORY with aluminum chassis for 2 years now. The ESC is HobbyStar 80A. It may be cheap, but the heck about Expensive ones.They serve one purpose. Play till it breaks. Yeah!
Hi guys, I recently bought it. is good fun bit slow on the servo. I am not abusing of my stuff in general. I play fairly with this, but 1th time shock broke, fair enough was not properly screwed in. Easy fix (add glue). Few more drives i got a rattling noise, dunno what is it yet, i will check it soon, but I honestly do not feel to recommend it. Maybe I am not so lucky. Free tip, the engine seems to heat up a too much so I suggest to get a heat sink on it.
Than another cranky noise, Motor pinion this time and gear warned out. Got new ones replace them both but still cranky noise ( the distance is fine between them) I wonder what the hell is going on this time
I own one off these rigs and I love it! Only problem I have had with it so far is the body shell is pretty fragile at cold temps and the rear diff broke a spider gear other wise I love it!
And do you mind asking 8s steve if on his rustler 2wd he strips alot of spur gears or recks thoes brake pad looking things on the inside of his spur gear. Because I have the same wheels as him and I always ruin the spir gear and brake pads thxx
@@huckaberryfpv4986 thx dude but the reason I asked is because I have trenchers and there much bigger so I was wondering if that was why it keeps breaking
@@zaneelliott7538 of course bigger tires gonna put more strain on drivetrain,maybe gear mesh and slipper too tight,if slipper set right it shouldn't be eating up spur gear,gear mesh too tight or too loose will eat a slipper up real quick also,1 more thing,check pinion and make sure none of the teeth are out of sorts,all it takes is 1 tooth to be slightly off and it will chew a spur right quick... hope any of this helps:)
Ha! I have a helion invictus! Thing is a good basher truck, good to know there is another rc with the exact platform! I need to upgrade my esc though as mine doesnt seem to stay cool enough with the itty bitty fan thats bolted on top. Love your channel Kevin!
This Truck is Extremely FUN when you get it on the Water. but it will sink so put some floaties on it. I thought the VictoryX was a clone of the Invictus but i had someone explain to me that the Invictus is a Clone of the VictoryX. Helion buys rights to use other RC brand platforms.
The shocks look a bit different.. and the shock towers or brace... Does anyone know what's better. Or meaning. What are each better at. Is their a reason Kev's is shaped that way and adjustable. And his friends more normal type. What is his better for??? Any help would be appreciated thanx
Hey Kevin! there's an RC car I was planning on getting but I'm not sure... It's similar to the WLToys 12428 but it looks like the Traxxas Slash. I wanted to see how durable the gears, suspension, overall build quality, and body are. I wanted to see if you could swap the motors and how much it can handle too. I'll be using it for lots of jumping. If you get a chance to buy it, thanks a lot!
i bought one of the cars that you showed off on your channel and i made sure there were parts on banggood for it but no where else so i baught it expecting to be able to buy parts not knowing banggood takes 2 months for shipping in america and now i have a broken car that i will probably not fix ):
There awesome, They should be, it's a Helion Invictus MT with paddle tires. The Helion shafts are tougher than banggoods, and you should really replace the silly brass pinion gear they come with a steel one, the servo, and put real shock oil in the shocks. I have four of them, T-Bone racing makes a cool wheelie bar for them as well. RPM arms are also available for them too, front and rear. Duratrax six pack wheels and tires look and work awesome on them as well. Best value out there. And of coarse @9:04 You all discover that :D... Fun Fact, FS Racing made them for Helion, and the Victories are not clones.
There is exactly the same model under the name Reely New1 but with a different engine, a different body and different tires and different springs / shocks.
I have had this car for almost a year (or an almost exact same fs model) it will run on water, it is pretty fast and runs a 3 cell, btw beach running may kill the esc fan with sand, be careful! Stock radio range is poor
those product that you are selling are they in stock at your home ? im wandering if you need to go ship all the product that you sell in the day... i have to say its interresting!:)
That is the exact same car as the Helion Invictus minus maybe the front universals and the power system. To anyone that owns one, the diffs need to be shimmed. I had one for a while and they are a great budget option
lol, Im litterally on banggood right now looking for the parts for a helion dominus. The arms look identical. Cant get any helion parts now and Im trying to build one for my nephew. Heard you all say it as I was looking.
I have this truck, put a set of badlands on it and it's a beast. I love mine, only issues I broke my front bumper and can't find one on banggood or anywhere
I thought about getting one from that one but the fs bumper is much nicer, but if they don't get one soon I'm going to have to, btw kev my most recent videos were inspired by ur love of monster trucks lol
adjective 1. low in price, especially in relation to similar items or services. Cheap is a relative term, so if you compare it to a similar product from a name brand and you take into account that it comes with a Lipo and Charger it is cheap. A $80,000 Rolls Royce is a lot of money to some people but is still a cheap Rolls Royce. So in my opinion this is a cheap RC car. Of course you are entitled to your opinion. Thanks for watching :)

Same here he is a good man
What car is it
same
That's the exact same as me
That’s why I want a good hobby grade Rc car, ma doesn’t know what the difference between 20 buck crap and 300 dollar good stuff.
I've found it's easier to cross the water in the winter, when it's ice.
lol
Me too
I love this comment hahaha. Send it!!!
Darwin Award to you good sir
Hahahaha
Nice
Put 8s in your tank and bash it!
*Ballons tank tracks...*
Him: ITS DIRT CHEAP!!!
Me: dirt cheap huh? *goes to website* $300
That`s like calling a 5000$ lambo expensive. IT`S CHEAP FOR WHAT IT IS YA DUMBASS!
He owns a Lambo what do you expect.
Isaac Dayley its a joke
your Mom its a joke
Lol ultimate click baiter

Sweet! I like everything you can control with a transmitter! Great vids brother!
When he says it’s dirt cheap and you see it’s 230$ 😳 but definitely way cheaper than most things that are as good as it
I can recognize the chassis of this rc car as being identical with the Reely Stagger, which I own.
I bought this little beast and i've modified it: 25 kg servo, 3660 3300kv motor, 80A esc, metal spur gear and a gyroscope! Now it flies! ( over 110 km/h with a 4s lipo).

Put slicks on it and do a speed run with it like if you argree

I wouldn't ever buy from banggood they stole my money I never got a refund from them after a order was cancelled. That's theft.
David Tenners For mine, my package was lost, never arrived and I asked for a refund and they never gave me my refund.
I lost like $50, which was a lot to me.
Was never even sent as was out of stock when ordered. They told me its been refunded and basically my bank thats at fault....worse company ever even the fake looking pic of some so called proof looked dumb.
Yes so true have got all my wltoys cars from ebay for less than scamgood and wasn't international postage.
Hey, Kevin, there's a 1/5 scale crawler form Redcat on ebay
That thing is awesome.!
Yo Mike! It's no Xmaxx but great for the price! :)
@@KevinTalbotTV No doubt man. Looks very tough.
Who thought it was the DHK Maximus in the thumb nail😂

I knew what I was I had one
Same here

I have that FS RACING VICTORY with aluminum chassis for 2 years now. The ESC is HobbyStar 80A.
It may be cheap, but the heck about Expensive ones.They serve one purpose. Play till it breaks. Yeah!
Can I buy bezgar 1/12 scale parts from there? They are way expensive tbh on amazon. I want metal parts if possible
I love the clear shell where the pinion and spur are
3S, 4WD with those paddles- will need a fan on the motor when the weather warms up.
Awesome car bruv!
Keep up the awesome vids!
Also what hex set do you use for your drill cause I have the same one just sitting around and would like to make a good use for it.
FS makes some of the best cars out there....the Atoms 6S (Reely Raptor 6S) is SUCH a great car
Looks amazing very quick pls try get a trx4 to drive across water
Too slow
Not the one with the mamba x and upgraded gearing.
Are the Absima lipos holding up good?
ive had mine for a year and no problems at all! Hardcase is super tough and you can feel the 45C discharge
Ok thank you for the answer. I was thinking of buying a pair for my e-revo.
yes, they are epic, the 5000 are anyway the 4000 were crap
4000s are

I cracked the shell already too, but so does the xmaxx on first run!
Kevin Talbot eh nothing you can do about a fast truck I guess haha
How much days did you get it can you please answer my question because a want the fs racing truck
Keep the vids coming Kev!
Some plastic are amazing look at rpm parts is rather have rpm than integy. Also this truck has some sweet shocks for the price! 👍
And do you mind asking 8s steve if on his rustler 2wd he strips alot of spur gears or recks thoes brake pad looking things on the inside of his spur gear. Because I have the same wheels as him and I always ruin the spir gear and brake pads thxx
You can use the tmaxx nitro brake pads as a slipper pad upgrade,its a solid disc vs 3pads,and .maybe steel spur and loosen slipper:)
@@huckaberryfpv4986 thx dude but the reason I asked is because I have trenchers and there much bigger so I was wondering if that was why it keeps breaking

This is a amazing truck for the money
that's a mad little bugger for sure.👍🤣😁
1:55 - I see it has moisture absorbing shocks.
For the price that's not a bad R/C, actually very fast....and seems pretty tough. I would say overall good buy...
Great review Kevin 👍
Almost looks like a small maxx! Pretty cool!
Hows the monster truck coming along? havent seen any work on it for ages
Kev you are the best i finaly found an Rc car i can bye thanks a lot your a pro😁👍
the bangood link for this rc doesnt work and i can't for the life of me find it online could you post a new link?
This Truck is Extremely FUN when you get it on the Water. but it will sink so put some floaties on it. I thought the VictoryX was a clone of the Invictus but i had someone explain to me that the Invictus is a Clone of the VictoryX. Helion buys rights to use other RC brand platforms.
Cool video kev!!
U inspired me a lot I have a stampede 2wd brushed but I’m gonna upgrade to a brushless
Can you suggest an alternative? Seems this model is no longer available
The shocks look a bit different.. and the shock towers or brace...
Does anyone know what's better. Or meaning. What are each better at. Is their a reason Kev's is shaped that way and adjustable. And his friends more normal type. What is his better for???
Any help would be appreciated thanx
I have a question about lipos is it need to be the same c amount if you want to combine lipos
Amazing video man thanks for sharing
take it out in the snow Kev!!
Hey Kevin can you test the hobbyking basher sabertooth?
Hey Kevin! there's an RC car I was planning on getting but I'm not sure... It's similar to the WLToys 12428 but it looks like the Traxxas Slash.

What happen to this RC?? And the hidroplaning?? Thanks.
Oh, jeez. Thats some speed!
Hello pat and kev! Awesome video
I don’t know how much dirt cost but for me it’s pretty expensive
He’s comparing it to other rc cars 200 is not that much in the rc world
It's subjective.
Compared to an arrma that won't any faster, it's a flipping steal
Good hsp are around 150 thats dirt cheap 380 is expensive
Coooool! I love your Vid and I love the Car! I own one and it's a lot of fun!
Kimberly Sanches yes, this car is rebranded from Reely, i think from the New1
i bought one of the cars that you showed off on your channel and i made sure there were parts on banggood for it but no where else so i baught it expecting to be able to buy parts not knowing banggood takes 2 months for shipping in america and now i have a broken car that i will probably not fix ):
its the same as 8s steves car in the video you can get parts for that

Really like this truck can't go wrong with the price just add upgraded parts and powerful batteries with charger it's a win win situation 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪
Would it be too heavy if u made all the metal parts on an rc car titanium
Could you do that versus the wl toys a959 b or the a979b or the rustler 4x4
Awesome video Kev keep up the good work
I ha e the same rc and my front diffs always break everytime i run it. Is there a upgraded diff for this
There is exactly the same model under the name Reely New1 but with a different engine, a different body and different tires and different springs / shocks.
I have had this car for almost a year (or an almost exact same fs model) it will run on water, it is pretty fast and runs a 3 cell, btw beach running may kill the esc fan with sand, be careful! Stock radio range is poor
This one went far it didn't cut out at all
I have range all the way up my street
That car look cool Kevin
Dirt cheap my ASS
Him: dirt cheap
Me: there goes my bank account
Its cheap for a hobby grade rc car
Wow it is dirt cheap cool 😎 and I have to get one of that rc😍😍😍🤩
That is really cool the is the helian avictis 😀
This really brings back memories of the T90s. So sad they closed it off tho.
those product that you are selling are they in stock at your home ? im wandering if you need to go ship all the product that you sell in the day... i have to say its interresting!:)
That is the exact same car as the Helion Invictus minus maybe the front universals and the power system. To anyone that owns one, the diffs need to be shimmed. I had one for a while and they are a great budget option
lol, Im litterally on banggood right now looking for the parts for a helion dominus. The arms look identical. Cant get any helion parts now and Im trying to build one for my nephew. Heard you all say it as I was looking.
I have this truck, put a set of badlands on it and it's a beast. I love mine, only issues I broke my front bumper and can't find one on banggood or anywhere
JX3 Worldwide you haven’t blown the rear diff yet I but some meats on mine and brought it out n -12 and shattered a rear diff gear
I have but wasn't at fault of the diff I had a different set of wheel that broke the center out and caught pavement
try helion, same car
I thought about getting one from that one but the fs bumper is much nicer, but if they don't get one soon I'm going to have to, btw kev my most recent videos were inspired by ur love of monster trucks lol
you're lucky we dont get much monster trucks in uk
Nice kev
Love your vids bro
You are an amazing youtuber!!
Kev's logic:
$300 rc dirt cheap review!
$100 expensive rc review!
Is it professional grade or hobby grade.
Hi, is it possible to run this truck on a 2s battery? It is way too fast with the included 3s.
How do you have enough space to keep all these things?!
Oh lol I noticed it was almost exactly like the Helion Invictus also
It's not getting a grip on the wood! 🤭😂
First!! (I think)😂
Great vid Kev!!
Also WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO BRING OUT THE SAVAGE!!
soon maybe :)
You should get an Tekno mt410 !! And badlands 3.8” hobby wing max 8 esc and go blast!!!!!!!!!
speed test?
Did it come with bolth sets of tires
Kevin-it’s dirt cheap👌
Me-ok let’s check it out 🤔
Also me-looks at price 😯😐
BRUH😅
Damn this hobby is deff more expensive than fpv racing quads. You said dirt cheap i thought it was like 100 😂😂
adjective
1.
low in price, especially in relation to similar items or services.
Cheap is a relative term, so if you compare it to a similar product from a name brand and you take into account that it comes with a Lipo and Charger it is cheap.
A $80,000 Rolls Royce is a lot of money to some people but is still a cheap Rolls Royce.
So in my opinion this is a cheap RC car. Of course you are entitled to your opinion. Thanks for watching :)
Hi Kev, how are you? Thx for all your videos.
Pretty cool car kev 👍
Where can i buy a normal tire for this car?
Yo Kev thanks for the link to the truck even you know I can’t buy one cause I’m poor
what is the battery life of that thing? And what is the top speed?
I just want the paddle tyres they may be good for my stampede 4x4
