Love your content brother! With so many things utterly falling apart, your cheer, knowledge and willingness to smash your expensive equipment so we can be educated and entertained is truly priceless and much-needed! Thank you!
Not to knock him cause I think this is a great channel BUT his willingness to smash up his expensive equipment is what pays the bills,it's the reason he has 1.4 million subscribers that earn him a bundle in ad revenue. It's like a business expense,he buys the equipment then films smashing and hard-core bashing which over a million of us want to watch and this generates him a lot more in advertising revenue than he initially spends on the equipment. Then a lot of it is still usable which gives him a MASSIVE collection that has a lot of re sale value . Anyway good luck to him,it's a great channel that instructs,educates and entertains us and Kev's the man who got me back into rc after a 30 odd year break
Every time I see you at this skate park, I can't help but think about how ABSOLUTELY EPIC it would be to see you put a 360 cam on your best RC and chase Sam Pilgrim around! Y'all obviously frequent the same area quite often! PLEASE! COLLABORATION OF THE CENTURY.
I’m so ready for the monster truck. Been watching this channel for over a year waiting. The time has finally come and it’s gonna be absolutely epic!!!!
if you want to make the mini e revo extra crazy, get the motor mount from a brushed mini e revo. the brushed mini e revo uses the normal 12 turn motor thats in the 1/10 scale traxxas cars. that means you can put in the traxxas 3500 brushless motor, or any 1/10 scale brushless system, youll be doing standing backflips for days!
Been 3 years, for ur Traxxas Evo 1/16th video. Passed the Kevin Test,, . I see one on FBook here in Alabana USA less that half price, Good deal. Ive the Hypergo' s a couple of em. U did a Hypergo video back a while back. Anyway. If It can Mostly Pass Kevin's test, It last me a lifetime, lol. Regards Oldman in Alabama. Floridas Calling
Shim the front and rear diffs, center diff helps. Front A arms need to be rpm A Arms. If you’re bashing the steel drive shafts work great. Best truck tires are the big joe 2’s from proline.
@@alexcrowder1673 my advice is to put the HR diffs in along with shimming it. You will have to put some silicone so that the diff seals and put some diff fluid of your choosing. The center diff will make wheelies harder to do but is well worth as it takes strain off the diffs. Also for the center diff 50k-100k is the range I would stay around. Some people say they like 50k for wheelies. Others say 70-80k will allow for wheelies etc. good luck with the merv.
I was one of the ones that told you to get it. My motor just went out on mine so be careful of overheating or shrink wrap melting off and shorting out the motor. Have fun!
If you want to go mad you can get a motor mount for a 540 sized motor and squeeze 2 3s lipos in the battery bays and run 6s if you fit a bigger esc.( you will need to fit a different shell though, beetle or pickup I think fit (I have the vw beetle shell 🙂) ) Deffo upgrade the drive shafts as well as the A arms front and rear with RPM arms and also RPM hubs , it takes all the play out of the steering making high speed runs easier to control. If you want to stop the chassis breaking go for a T bone under tray and bumper set (unbreakable guarantee), a center diff will help calm down the wheelies and help with cornering too, also helps to save the front and rear diff from wearing out so quickly with the extra power.
Def. a fun car!!! Crazy fast on 2 3s lipo ran in parallel. It did turn into a money pit though for such a small rc. T-Bone Chassis, rpm a-arms, large motor heat sink, stiffer springs, thicker oil (like 80wt to keep bottoming out), and shim the diffs. I haven't broken any driveshafts or diffs IDK if its luck or my driving style of easing onto the gas.
@@rctrucks2094 nimh def does not have the power as LIPO even if voltage is higher. I plug in nimh in series on it and it's slower. The voltage drop on nimh under load is a good amount. Mine already overheats easily on 3s lipo if I'm not careful on the road.. You can run it however you want but I'll stick with 3s on the gearing that I have on it.
That mini E-Revo is a weapon on 4s... wow. Geeez Kevin and crew, you got that MT built up quick in a week!!! I'm sure there's plenty still to do but at least it's rolling and holding her own weight. Well done!!
I've been wanting one of these since it came out, but so many people on more than 1 forum keep telling me not to do it because they say it's a money pit. Don't get me wrong , these same people say it's amazing when it actually runs, but that it's constantly needing repairs. They also say they do t abuse it either, but that it pretty much will break if you look at it wrong. It's a shame, because I'd really like one but I'm pretty new at this and frankly I don't have the skill and time it apparently takes to keep the tires on the ground.
I run a stock mini revo was a small brushless but i got the 12t motor plate and put a 1/10th brushless motor on it, thing rips but the driveshafts dont stand for crap, gonna be getting a good set of MIP if they have them or maybe GPM but havent had any tranny or diff issues
Had one for 2 years, ran it like a madman this second year. Broken parts list so far: 2 front (1 left, 1 right) A Arms. (Full set costs about £10 to replace) Rear Differential Ring & Pinion. (Cost to replace: £13) Front body post mount. (Cost to replace: £5, but includes a full rear set too...) So, these things are cheap as chips to repair. Gotta love it! Not done a spur gear or any electrical damage. Body still holds up fine. Wheels have been replaced, but by choice, not because of anything going wrong. In all honesty - go for it, they're fun as hell!
Every RC is a money sink. It's just how you drive them how big the sink is ;) I have a full size revo as a first RC. Yes I broke stuff, mainly because I sucked at driving. But knowing now how and what. screw the haters. all the stuff they said would break didn't. I would love to also have a MERV. But saving atm for a TRX4 :P
You are so lucky with your crashes! You where sending the erevo off ramps and it was fine but when I send my erevo on a smallish jump I break the steering box gears
Epic video kev! I paused editing my video just to watch it. Funny enough I juts bought a 1/16 car which I'm working on a video for 😂. Great video kev, been a supporter since 30k subs!!
I’m stoked about your truck build brother. Nice surprise drop in this vid. The mini Revco is an epic piece…but the monster truck sneak peek was ABSOLUTELY EPIC!!!!
Got one of these for my son as his first real hobby grade RC. Have had it for a month and already got new front and rear control arms, front bulk head, center diff, new wheels/tires for more ground clearance, wheelie bar, several batteries, new gearing (to go with the bigger tires), new heavier springs, shock oil....for the price of all this crap I could have gotten him a MAXX or kraton 6s
🤯🤯🤯Wow Kev monster truck looking real good there!!!!! Absolutely Epic! I can’t wait to see that thing crushing something!! Congratulations again that was a nice surprise to throw in. I watch till then end so I don’t ever miss anything. 👊👊👍👍
What's even more rare than getting a live Dodo bird 🦤 on video? Getting video of any Traxxas reaching their claimed MPH/KPH out of the box! @ 0:32 & 4:38 🐢 ⏱ 🐌 🤓 #"The Fastest Name In Radio Control" 😉
I love your videoes Kev. Bang on! AND you started adding the WASTED text to the slow mo of killings bits of cars. I am loving it, thanks for doing all those vids.
Mini revo is the best rc I have ever owned. It had NEVER broken a part other than the speed controller and constantly popping off drive shafts. But thats not a "break" because you can just pop them back on. Word to the wise... If you are gonna run 3s. Put a fan on the speed controller heatsink.
Bout time you did my rc car i told ya it was fast. I had mine on 4s it’s CRAZY FAST!!!!! All STOCK!!!!! My opinion best rc for the price hands down. Wicked fast and affordable.
I have this little mini-revo. Not really into rc but wanted something I could keep in my trunk. All I did is put 2 of the regular batteries in series, a wheelie bar, and a heat sink and it's plenty fun. Car charger works great for how I use it. I think I might add a bit stiffer springs and a center diff. It does seem to bottom out quite a bit stock.
I got tired of replacing diffs in my merv vxl that I just patched it up and put it on a shelf and bought a new one to start tinkering on the new one has the tsm the old one didn’t but it’s by far my favorite car.
Can you please do some real crawler videos? Like take out your modified trx4 out on a real mission on your local trails or other fun spots? I am here for the crawler videos and am always disappointed when they aren’t crawler videos.
I would love to see an update on the mini revo

Best rc show on RUclips, USA, this is how you keep your audience captivated.

Ive been watching kev for the past 3 in a half years now he finaly doing something to the monster truck
I’m convinced that Kevin lives in his shop
Excited you finally got a 1/16 E-Revo! Can't wait to see some mods for that little guy. Hoping to see a TA Rival MT10 next!

Have you tried the hot racing diffs? And how does a center diff help? My drivetrain and or diffs just keep getting destroyed.

Dug and Monster Trucks in one Video! That is ABSOLUTELY CUTE and EPIC! 👍👍👍 Can't wait to the the Monstertruck build Video coming up! 😘😘😘
Wow, you can really tell those monster truck axles are extra wide. I could see that truck being super stable around corners.
I was one of the ones that told you to get it. My motor just went out on mine so be careful of overheating or shrink wrap melting off and shorting out the motor. Have fun!
That's why ya check the motor's temperature every once in a while when you're driving. If it's too hot to touch it's too hot to run, as Kevin says.
That was so funny. Just the random duck😂
If you want to go mad you can get a motor mount for a 540 sized motor and squeeze 2 3s lipos in the battery bays and run 6s if you fit a bigger esc.( you will need to fit a different shell though, beetle or pickup I think fit (I have the vw beetle shell 🙂) )

heyyy kev please do another video about this truck also KEEP UP THE BEST RC CONTENT BRO!!!
Wow I am impressed by the looks of your "sneak peek" of the monster truck, just by looking at it I can tell it is gonna be *ABSOLUTELY EPIC*
Your 1:1 Monster Truck Build is going to be absolutely BadAss my family can't wait and I mean my entire family!

Are you running it 6s with the stock esc and motor?
Oh right it's still 3s on parallel you should try double 2s on series lol
@@rctrucks2094 Naw I think 4s would probably burn it up. Already almost overheats on 3s. I haven't driven it in a while though.
@@quickguesswho Think about it, the thing is capable of x2 nimh 7.2v in series, so how would x2 Lipo 7.4v be bad

You should do a tour of all your rc vehicles

hey kev where is the monster truck I canot wait to see your video
Ohh kevs being a little koob lol. Can't wait The monster truck is already lookin epic

The monster truck is going to be a beast can’t wait
Christmas everyday never gets old.
The diffs in the mini e revo get DESTROYED from wheelies and flips. I had to replace the diffs
I got tired of replacing diffs in my merv vxl that I just patched it up and put it on a shelf and bought a new one to start tinkering on the new one has the tsm the old one didn’t but it’s by far my favorite car.
If I ever wanna know of something is gonna blow up or stand up I just check with Kevin first lol
The traxxas e revo 1/16 so far is great. I hope to see more contend with this car.
I don’t know about you but I think the monster truck should go TO THE MOON!!!
Your eBay tutorial is easier than Lucid Dreaming so i say its pretty good
Im so hyped for the mostertruck video..i cant wait 🤙🤙🤙😁🥶

I can’t wait for the monster truck. And u should definitely make the mini e revo 6s if u can
Made my day seeing you using the 1/16 erevo hope you and everyone else’s has a great day
Kev you should get a mini slash! They are the same thing as the mini revo but in slash form. They are a blast!
Definitely looking forward to your freaking monster truck videos… ABSOLUTELY EPIC!!!
Ive got my 1/16 erevo setup to run 6s for speed runs, shes a beast! You will want a Tbone chassis brace to turn that thing into an absolute TANK!
