I’m so happy for you! Isle of Man seems to be an awesome place for you to enjoy the hobby! The friends you made just bashing I think are a great sign of things to come on your channel. It’s the start of a new adventure for this channel!
Kev, all the rc stuff you have in the pipeline is AMAZING. I’m excited for everything and I really hope you get to do it all. No rush at all, you’re living the dream, you should be able to do it how you want and I think every subscriber is lucky that you’re sharing this part of your life with us
Kev, I respect your drive. You say you're going to do something and then you just do it. If people are asking why you haven't moved yet, that's insane. "You mean you haven't uprooted your entire life from your home country, and taken care of everything needed to re-locate to a whole other country?!" It's been like 3 weeks and you just said you bought a house... that is determination at a rate that makes my indecisive head spin. Best of luck to you and when the TT comes through, buy a life jacket. All those big balls on that small island at once... Only a matter of time before it sinks into the ocean! :D
Kev, you inspired me to start the rc hobby. I have watched your videos for maybe 4 years. I'm working for an Xmaxx now. its sad for the old shop to go.
Sooo cool to see you grow from a lil Rc channel to a masive operation that's moving to another country to get even bigger and better. You deserve it mate! thanks for all the quality entertainment!
you getting ready to leave the shop makes me want to cry. ive seen every single one of your videos and love all of them. so many memories are with your shop. but many memories to come soon with wherever you are going to end up ❤️
The reason why foam is better for speed running is because it weighs so much less. Less angular momentum pulling it out and trying to expand. They're not as durable vs the tarmac but it's not the tarmac you're fighting it's wheel rpm you're fighting
When I was his age, yes, now I'm an old fart, not so much.....but you guys should take a lesson from him: hustle on a lot of different ways to make dough so when you're my age, you don't have to keep working...(like I do).
It doesn't seem like the goverment understands that people will get to the point where they will move to avoid excessive taxes. Congrats on the house purchase Kev.
@KevinTalbotTV Not just the UK K.T the Good Ole USA not doing so hot its self! Only the people in office and the Government sure know how to ruin once a great country! Sad but the truth! Keep up the great work Kevin and get out of the uk & make yourself Happier in life
I'm happy for you!! And I know everyone is as well! Take things slow and you'll get your dream house in no time for sure! Can't wait for you to move in
Hi Kev A few thoughts about some indestructible wheels and tires for your speed runs. Weight, strength and the ability to resist centrifugal force would be very important. As you know a narrower wheel will last a bit longer due to the reduced spin load. The Rubber or foam either tears off or breaks up due to this. Perhaps a much narrower tire say 25mm with a 0 offset wheel combo. Have the wheels made from aluminum that can be hardened/nitrided. The rim outer itself would be on the inside tapered from the center down to the edge, it wouldn't need to be much but a change in diameter of 4mm should be enough. This would give strength where required and keep the weight down. Also help with rolling resistance. Im not sure if the tires are breaking up due to centrifugal force or debris on the road cutting them up but for a solid compound the thinner the better. How about the outer diameter where the tire is glued to the rim being knurled both extra surface area for glue to adhere to. Then use a Very thin solid rubber tire say made from Cushion Gum used to repair full size car tires? They would need to be cut and glued to the rim then machined down to a very thin section say 2~3mm. The rubber will be much denser so in theory will be stronger and the section so small that it will be strong enough to prevent it from flying apart due to centrifugal force because it is isn't as heavy. You would need to test for it's traction ability but given the distance you have to get to speed it should be ok. You could even use steel wheels as I dont think getting the extra unsprung weight up to speed will hurt speed or acceleration enough to matter and due to an added flywheel affect keep the car inline and more resistant to direction change. I would assume the steering servo would easily have enough spare power to move these quickly enough? Regardless, great video and hearing you will be getting on the big stage maybe with you own truck is great news. Good Luck Cheers
I commend you good man.. when you say your going to do something.. your a British bulldog n nothing stops you.. in every aspect of your life.. you really are a great role model for youth all over the world.. you don't ever not deliver...
👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘 If you do anything over here in the states with monster trucks, Dennis Anderson is the godfather of monster trucks. I’d try to put him at the center of your operation over here… 👍
I’m glad your keeping the shop for now I do love that little shop you’ve been in for years. But it will be cool to have it all set up eventually at your own property in Isle of Man. That will be a lot to clear and move out of the little shop eventually!
Hey Kev, love the videos have you ever thought of making CNC two piece aluminum wheels that bolt together that you can seal and put rubber tires on them and fill them either with Foam or air
When you move, you need to hire a full time builder, and monster truck helper. Someone at the new place to help out. Your awesome. Been watching for a long time. 👍
Just an off the wall idea....why not have a friend with a mill and a lathe to buzz out some aluminum wheels and instead of foam you could try to use slices of a radiator hose that would be the correct diameter to fit? Like I said, just a off the wall idea
Kevin, very happy for you and your new area!. Can't wait to see all the new stuff and area on the island. New places and new friends!! I bet you're going to the island of man MC race!! Best of luck, Rick USA Florida
the best bit of youtube is watching people grow, yes we all could fullfill our dreams if we tried harder but we all have reasons why not etc. but we dont get jealous of people like Kevin or Linus or Matt who we have all watched over the years grow and grow and grow. i think its because they treat us like we helped them get there. even talking about dream homes etc i have no ill feelings or jealousy i just look forward to seeing what comes out. i also love how some times it can lead to developments that benefit others. keep going mate, look forward to more content
Yes! Please do the Tamiya Monster Beetle build soon! I had one as a kid. The first real RC car I ever had after I owned a tyco turbo hopper which was basically toy grade 😂
Come out here to northern Arizona. Only 3 million people in the upper part of the state. Business friendly small towns. It's hot 113° some days, and 5° winters. And the closest ocean is 350 miles away.
If my math is right, centrifugal force = r w**2, with w = angular speed. But speed = w/r. So cent force = speed**2/r. Therefore bigger radius tire flys apart at faster speed. So use the biggest radius tire you can.
Much better idea anyway... buy small.... see if you actually like it..... then buy big. Glad you enjoyed your trips to the island so far. Rob must be a good tour guide.... haha. Anyway, I'm sure we'll meet out and about :) 👍 😀
People don't understand that you do have a life and it's not all about making your viewers happy...Kevin needs a break from everything I'm sure...Great Video
Hey Kev, RP here. I am located in Canada brother. I just got to tell you I love what you do and all you do it because of you. I started my own RUclips channel. The fun of it is all that I can do with these RC. I can be creative and have fun every time all the time on time. Trust me keep do what you're doing you inspire a lot of people not just me. Peace.👊🏽✔️💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
When your talking about wheels. This is going to sound extremely out of the box. Now you take the foam and rubber out of the equation, and use aluminum with a cnc tread pattern. Granted your not going to have the best grip, but it will never blow apart.
Nice Kev, looking forward to it all. I hope you invite your RC friends over to the Isle of Mann sometime. I will admit it, I'm a bit of a train nerd. I'd be gagging to ride that steam train.
Hey, me and my dad used to help out with the Monster Jam (america) shows in michigan. If you need a hand from someone who has at least a small amount of experience on what to expect, let me know, i can try to help :P
Kevin you are doing it SMART - don’t have to have a mortgage - DON’T - I am the same way and we have really nice digs - not huge but decent size and I don’t worry about house payments man. I’m the same way with car payments and credit cards lol
Kevin, your so busy now. A lot of things going around your brain. I hope your move is successful, and I hope you complete everything well that you said in the video. 🎉🎉

A quiet Kev is a busy Kev. Congrats on making your house offer! I hope it all goes well dude. 🤙
I’m so happy for you! Isle of Man seems to be an awesome place for you to enjoy the hobby! The friends you made just bashing I think are a great sign of things to come on your channel. It’s the start of a new adventure for this channel!
…and dodge tax, I suppose it’s either there of Montecarlo like all the F1 drivers.
But it's still under the crown. No place is worth living under a pretend monarchy.
Kev, all the rc stuff you have in the pipeline is AMAZING. I’m excited for everything and I really hope you get to do it all. No rush at all, you’re living the dream, you should be able to do it how you want and I think every subscriber is lucky that you’re sharing this part of your life with us

Behind the scenes . Congratulations, Kev. You're living all of our dreams.
You said the speed sausage was next last video you keep lying to us 😂
@Cameraman784how is that hating
True..
Not lying, monetizing to pay for the next house or car!
Waffle waffle waffle😅
If it did well you would have heard
Following you for years and years and still entertained to the fullest. Can’t wait for the big move. 🤙
Yes🙂🎉
Love from sri Lanka ❤😊

Sooo cool to see you grow from a lil Rc channel to a masive operation that's moving to another country to get even bigger and better. You deserve it mate! thanks for all the quality entertainment!
Can't wait to see you in the US..
Kev I’ve been watching since the 100mph Rustler upgrade video, it’s amazing how much you and your channel have grown!
Congratulations Kev, can’t wait for the move. I have been watching you for years and you are always entertaining no matter what.
you getting ready to leave the shop makes me want to cry. ive seen every single one of your videos and love all of them. so many memories are with your shop. but many memories to come soon with wherever you are going to end up ❤️
Looks like you’ve got some BIG plans ahead, Kevin. Congrats on the new house and I look forward to seeing some real exciting videos from you! 👍
I love how kev just does not really care just havin fun ❤😊
The reason why foam is better for speed running is because it weighs so much less. Less angular momentum pulling it out and trying to expand. They're not as durable vs the tarmac but it's not the tarmac you're fighting it's wheel rpm you're fighting
Kev is living the life we all want😂
You're not wrong

I’m sure they are aware but they are just testing to see how far they can push us.
Once those in the top tax bracket have had enough and left or are bleed dry then the whole system collapses
And those who have left are never coming back and the tax burden will be on every one else, it’s not going to turn out good, uk is doomed
@KevinTalbotTV Not just the UK K.T the Good Ole USA not doing so hot its self! Only the people in office and the Government sure know how to ruin once a great country! Sad but the truth! Keep up the great work Kevin and get out of the uk & make yourself Happier in life
Yup, lots of Weston counties are a sinking ship
The way he says "lambo, probably going twin turbo" then moves on like its no big deal lol
I'm happy for you!! And I know everyone is as well! Take things slow and you'll get your dream house in no time for sure! Can't wait for you to move in
Sending you 100% positive thoughts for you to reach your dreams Kev.

Congratulations on the new place. 🎉
Looking forward to seeing you at Santa Pod in August Kev! My boy can’t wait 😎
Super cool update. I can’t wait to see you move to your new home.
Awesome news! glad to see you living the dream!!!
U need alloy/ titanium wheels and Kevlar belted!!!!!! Tyres, and the toe in camber etc set up to stop burning up the tyres,
Cant wait see ur new place bud !!
"Speed sausage" 😭😭 lol 😂
Kev keeps saying the speed sausage is the next video for the last 3 videos lol 😂😂😂❤❤
👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘
If you do anything over here in the states with monster trucks, Dennis Anderson is the godfather of monster trucks. I’d try to put him at the center of your operation over here… 👍
Wow you packed alot in that vid dude,love it 😀👍👍👍👍
If you do a monster jam show in America I would love to come see you do it in Boston Kev!
TOP SECRET RC, I’m exited for the speed records but I know the content is always worth the watch!
Congratulations Kev! Best of luck over on Isle of Mann! I look forward to the vids from over there!
Kev congrats on the offer being accepted on the house! Best of luck in the move
I’m glad your keeping the shop for now I do love that little shop you’ve been in for years. But it will be cool to have it all set up eventually at your own property in Isle of Man. That will be a lot to clear and move out of the little shop eventually!
Kevin you should send the Lambo to either Sheepey Race or UGR for your turbo kit. Both make reliable 2000hp Huracans every single day.
Hey Kev, love the videos have you ever thought of making CNC two piece aluminum wheels that bolt together that you can seal and put rubber tires on them and fill them either with Foam or air
Yep alloy wheels and low profile glued on tyres. surely if foam was better real cars would use them
Thanks for sharing Wow Lots of projects in the Pipeline!😂😊
When you move, you need to hire a full time builder, and monster truck helper. Someone at the new place to help out. Your awesome. Been watching for a long time. 👍
I had the MONSTER BEATLE when it was first released.
Which BEATLE was it? John, Paul, George, or Ringo?
But I think you must mean MONSTER "BEETLE" instead of BEATLE.
Congratulations on the new house mate all the best 👍
Just an off the wall idea....why not have a friend with a mill and a lathe to buzz out some aluminum wheels and instead of foam you could try to use slices of a radiator hose that would be the correct diameter to fit? Like I said, just a off the wall idea
Kevin, very happy for you and your new area!.
Can't wait to see all the new stuff and area on the island.
New places and new friends!!
I bet you're going to the island of man MC race!!
Best of luck,
Rick USA Florida
Good for you kev. Keep more of your $$ and have more fun! Good luck!
Twin Turbo, really good thing for lambo 👍 more power like you said ,,All the chance on your side for moving Kev ..
Kevin if you are having problems with the rims breaking try using aluminium rims and solid rubber tyres
Good on you kev living your dreams,hope everything goes well for you.youve earned it.
You need aluminum or alloy wheels and yes rubber tires
Congrats on getting a house man!
Wish you lots of luck Kevin, keep on grinding, that dream home will come soon enbuddy!!
Great news! Really looking forward to your adventure🤩
Nice to see you coming up kev!!!
Best wishes on the new place.
I want this dude in monster jam it would be sick heck I’ll drive it when I’m legally aloud to
the best bit of youtube is watching people grow, yes we all could fullfill our dreams if we tried harder but we all have reasons why not etc. but we dont get jealous of people like Kevin or Linus or Matt who we have all watched over the years grow and grow and grow. i think its because they treat us like we helped them get there.

i also love how some times it can lead to developments that benefit others.
keep going mate, look forward to more content
Kevin you are successful because it’s obvious you respect your viewers and understand what they want.
Congrats on the house, really exciting!
Congrats on the new house Kev.. Wishing you all the best in the new location
Congrats on the house!!!
Kev, glad you were able to get a house over there. Hope everything goes well and you can get your land out there to build stuff for all your toys.
I wish I could watch Kevin drive Game Over! It would be awesome if he came to Indy!
Yes! Please do the Tamiya Monster Beetle build soon! I had one as a kid. The first real RC car I ever had after I owned a tyco turbo hopper which was basically toy grade 😂

Peace.👊🏽✔️💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
why not use aluminum alloy wheels for strength?
Very excited that the move is working out!!
Congratulations on finding your new house hopefully you could build a monster truck place there and a nice little RC place
Stemp and Max in a boat, what could go wrong 😂 can't wait
Kev is the best RUclipsr I have ever seen on RUclips ❤❤❤
Yup 👍
It's rare to see a popular youtuber be so down to earth.
Watching these videos I don’t think kev is the type of person to ly on the couch an do nothing busy busy busy 👍
Kev, get some lightweight aluminum wheels
Congrats on the new place!
Me and my little one got the tickets to the Monster Truck Nationals so will see you there 😊
When your talking about wheels. This is going to sound extremely out of the box. Now you take the foam and rubber out of the equation, and use aluminum with a cnc tread pattern. Granted your not going to have the best grip, but it will never blow apart.
Question...
Why not aluminium wheels with bonded urethane tires?
Nice Kev, looking forward to it all. I hope you invite your RC friends over to the Isle of Mann sometime.
I will admit it, I'm a bit of a train nerd. I'd be gagging to ride that steam train.
the train is epic!!
Hey, me and my dad used to help out with the Monster Jam (america) shows in michigan. If you need a hand from someone who has at least a small amount of experience on what to expect, let me know, i can try to help :P

Congratulations Kevin 🤘
Kevin, your so busy now. A lot of things going around your brain. I hope your move is successful, and I hope you complete everything well that you said in the video. 🎉🎉
Would be great to have you at a Throwdown show some day!
I've watched you for some time now. I want to say that you are an absolute inspiration!
Awesome Kev, hope everything goes well for you when you move in November!
Is the American version going to be the exact same as your current monster truck
Congratulations KEvin :)
Would live to see you in American monster jam!!
kev are you still going to rossa
congrats on your move kev! hope all goes well!
next big break through will be tires. then, flatter ground..
Add a Traxxas XO-1 to your car collection!
1:01 make a complete wheel out of rubber
How much rpm can a hockey puck take?
To solve your problem with the tires simply use a tire twice as big so it only has to turn half as fast to go 250 mph
Congratulations Kev and good luck I'll be eagerly waiting for your next video
