I gave away my nitro 3.3 e revo, HPI nitro drift, tmax nitro to a family man with a bunch of kids. Instantly missed my cars but knew they were happy. Then karma came around and someone randomly gifted me a nitro truck! Crazy how the world works! One day I’ll get another drift rig. Kevins videos always bring up good memories and inspire me drive more. ❤❤❤
I love nitro drifting🔰 My first nitro drifter was a thunder tiger ts4n. That was about 15 years ago. I'm still drifting nitro today but a hobao hyper 10.
Recently acquired the same model and experienced the same problem. Glad I saw this video before spending hours troubleshooting. Issue was with the one-way bearing. Resolved with cleaning with parts cleaner. Cheers!
1:32 Kyosho RTR radios are excellent. I have many high end radios and cheap rtr radios. Kyosho RTR and very very good for RTR. They have tons of adjustments and the wheel is great.
its only three screws, with a new nitro i normally pull the glow plug put a couple drops of oil down it, cycle it with the glow plug out, put the glow plug back in but dont tighten it all the way. also use the idle screw and make the idle a bit higher so it starts easier. once it starts tighten the glow plug, then proper break in after that.
Mistakes happen in production of everything, i recently bought 3 bounty bars in a pack when I opened one of the individual packs there was nothing but air 😂
There was nothing wrong with the one-way bearing, the carb was still at factory settings and the engine won’t produce enough RPM for the clutch shoes too fully engage, what we saw in the video was actually the clutch shoes slipping on the bell-housing. If anyone needs help with their NITRO weapon, please don’t hesitate to ask👍🏼 PS: I’m doing this simply because I love the hobby and want to help anyone who has a NITRO vehicle to enjoy their’s too🙏
That why i carry 3-4 extra glow plugs with me, when nitro running, after 2 or 3 tanks i change glow plug. Also Kevin take that pull start off and put a one way bearing so you can start with drill. Much easier 😉👍🏼💯
Kyosho is one of the most competetive brands in the world. Can't see why they haven't updated their 1/8 GT since it's release. Body is a beauty though.
if it ain't broke... It's nice when a car has parts available. My x-ray NT1 nitro is 2017, so I'm nervous that I won't find parts for that year soon because they update every year... I'd rather just keep it simple and cheaper. The Kyosho is a great car for bashing
@@lawrencewinter Good point with the Xray. They should be able to support parts even for older designs, but it is the same with the most competetive brands. It is all about being on the edge of the latest developement, to be fastest around the track.
Love the looks of the Mercedes AMG. The more nitro rc cars u review makes me want one. Just the sound of them is cool doesn't look like it was really fast but does look like it drives nice. Sucks u had to fix it first but looks like it's a blast now. Great video can't wait for the next one.
Have you ever heard of the Schumacher storm 1/10 scale stadium truck 3 speed 70 plus mph and they did a on road car 80mph plus and the traxxas 4 Tec 3.3 70mph plus you don't have any knowledge of rtr nitros or any rc history unless you was still in nappies pmsl gimp
@@johncardwell3119 some salt I see but every nitro I've seen so far needs money poured into it and tuning to even come close to electrics performance yea it's fun but at what cost
@@nickbates2009 I have both you just don't know how to make a nitro engine work properly iam a qualified mechanic electrics have come a long way but how many times do you have to charge your batterys for a good few hours of running electric cars etc all you need with nitro is fuel and batterys for your transmitter and a couple of receiver packs glow plug igniter and just to be safe spare glow plugs and your telling me electric is cheaper I have electric and nitro cars and trucks and boats electric is more expensive I don't see any salt
1st of all you can most definitely tune a Nitro RC Kevin if you can build a Monster truck and do everything else you do. You are alot like myself and great with your hands and I'd be willing to bet can do anything you put your mind to and or learn quickly when interested and even learn just by eye. Also pretty talented TIG welder man Kev as I have 32yrs experience and you even impressed me. I wish more 2 stroke RC's were made as nothing like when they hit their powerband, almost like when turbos spool up on a vehicle and off to the races ya go.
I'm a closet nitro fanatic, enjoyed the video. And that you captured both nitro frustration, nitro tax and nitro serenity all together. Good stuff. Boy it's rewarding when you get it running spot on. You gotta work for it though 😆. Nitro heater next time will help that pullstart starting arm.
I didn't know kyosho was still making these. awesome. I usually richen a half turn for starting then retune for high end each time. A bit of a pain at first but makes starting much easier
You have the best job I can imagine. Could you please "bash" or maybe "blast" the "Sketer" V3 from Team Corally and maybe vs MAXX 2.0 it would be a great pleasure....
That is a very cool RC car. I'm definitely going to try nitro some day. I don't know much about nitro, but if it's essentially a two stroke, then they can be very fickle indeed when it comes to starting them.
@kevintalbot Kev it’s not primed when you were tanking the pull start . Make sure there’s fuel in the carb first. I always disconnect the fuel line from the exhaust and blow into it to push fuel to the carb. Try that and then go to start it . Should start up first couple pulls no problem
Definitely the best rc channel on RUclips... 100 percent... I love true reviews and your bashing is by far the hardest around lol... keep up the good work
Iv been waiting for this video since I see that beast at the skatepark. You really can't beat the sound of a nitro changing gears 😍 great video as always Kev 👍
Man U should yank that Kyosho.25 out and get u an inroad specific engine and matching pipe and bet that thing would rip way better. Great job as always boss!
Nitro is cool when it's someone's else car lol. I've had more than my share of Nitro racing, fun, frustration & PIA moments. Especially with technology today w/ brushless and lipos etc. I just can't justify dealing with the headaches. Electric is much more Efficient and The King now, the days of Nitro being king are long gone in the past 😆
🤣🤣🤣“I have no idea what I’m looking at”, and you still tear it apart! That’s why I friggen love you!!! No fear! I just researched your eBay courses. I’m in!!!
WOW, Nice driving mate!!!! Your engine tunning skills really need improvement though... The Electric truck looks like a TOY next to the raw power of the Nitro car... BRING NITRO BACK!!!
When its below 15 degrees celsius outside you should preheat (use hot air vents of your car) the engine before attempting to start it, to avoid having to pull the cord for tens or possibly hunderets of times.
Please kev please... Hit it with a hair dryer before u crank.... Then invest in one drill start and wand then fit a tiger start or the traxxas electric start and i promise nitro will be waaaay more fun for you,other than learning what the l.s.n and h.s.n is does and where its located.😅love your vids. Great footage,everything we wanna see.ty for you time and hard work.
Hey Kevin! That new Nitro is awesome looks Great too! Lucky you have that guy on quick dial to tune that car for you!🤣😂 For just being broke in it's running great once you cleaned up the one-way bearing it must of sitting around for awhile? I can't wait till that's really broke in and your ripping it around! Love the content and videos great fun!😉👍📹👋👋👋💯
Can’t beat pre-heating the engine with a dedicated pre-heater or a hair dryer before trying to start it. Warm up, couple of pulls and you’re in business! Said this before on one of your vids
Kev, from a person that has been around nitros for a while, please get yourself a R.C. failsafe. It will keep your nitro from becoming a runaway. I've seen too many bad accidents from not having one. But epic vid tho !!!!!!
I didn't want to write this in the actual comment so I decided to write it here. so basically my mother was a alcoholic and past away about a week ago... (my dad left) and our family has been struggling lately with money and we have a bit of a depression issue and we don't really know what to do so I just wanted to ask if you could tell everyone to go give there mom and dad a hug and spend time with them cause when there gone like my mother (I am a 11 year old) it will be hard so please go spend some time with them, thanks.
We all know Kev loves his nitro cars! And I must say that the Mercedes body is very handsome looking too! And just as handsome underneath... proper grufty lookin little beast. Faaaarkin laaaarvly! 😆
Not drifting….
haha this is the most realistic RC drifting that there is!! It has rubber tires AND a real engine. not like those little toys with plastic wheels! 😂😂
Lmao I thought this guy was a hater before I saw the channel
@KevinTalbot you are a legendary man the one and only miracle worker lol
hello
@@KevinTalbotTV no its actually powersliding, 4wd=powersliding rwd=drifting ;)
My 4yo Son LOVES your channel. Always running around our house yelling “what happened” driving his rc car into walls 🤣😂
Does he says "that's what she said" 😂
Brilliant 👏
Lol. That's hilarious. I've caught myself saying it as well. Sad thing is, I'm an old man.
@@lopiklemoustique5513 no but visiting my sister in VA he picked up the response “your mom” so that’s a new thing now haha
@@rotten2209 yea I say it also ahahhahsha
Ur amazing bro bringing so much life back into the rc hobby over the past few years u are a hero my guy

Man love nitro!!!!!
Keep up the nitro videos kev
Use a heat gun to preheat the motor and loosen it up before starting or buy an engine warmer
Watching your video everytime i remember old me with my rc car 🤙
Looked and sounded great when it was running. But pretty poor having a bearing issue when it was fresh out the box
Mistakes happen in production of everything, i recently bought 3 bounty bars in a pack when I opened one of the individual packs there was nothing but air 😂

Love it when a two speed transmission kicks out when it smashes from first to second gear...
Awesome Kevin!
Hello from bowen Queensland Australia...
Love theses nitro videos kev!
You need to get a 3D printer and print parts for your rc
Yes I have one they are handy
I have 2 of them 😸
How strong are they compared to regular parts? Do I need to get some specific type of filament?
@@willng34 depends on the infill% and the type of filament
@@willng34 they can be and more
Awesome, made me want a nitro for the first time in a decade
Be waiting for this vid love rc cars
Love the nitro drifting! The exhaust smoke just looks like tire smoke! Epic!!!
Kyosho is one of the most competetive brands in the world. Can't see why they haven't updated their 1/8 GT since it's release. Body is a beauty though.
Funny kyosho is the reason I dont seemuch point in a nitro. But that was back in the nicd MSC brush motor days

MR KEV.....IM ALWAYS RIDIN ABOUT UR LACK OF NITRO BUT NICE TO SEE YOU DOIN MORE NITRO STUFF MAN P.S SORRY FOR ALL CAPS
Can’t wait to see the budget 100 mph car again 🤙🏼
Same
Hey Kevin can’t wait till the monster truck is finished I got a helicopter like yours and I love your videos we love u your my favorite youtuber :)
I didn't know kyosho was still making these. awesome. I usually richen a half turn for starting then retune for high end each time. A bit of a pain at first but makes starting much easier
Epic nitro car. And yeah it took me a couple years to get the tuning down on nitros. Experience is everything with tuning
My favorite part about kevs vids is when he says it’s Christmas everyday
I thought touring cars were boring..? Absolutely NOT IF there are NITRO! Thumbs up!
You always put me in a happy mood. Love your work Kev
You have the best job I can imagine. Could you please "bash" or maybe "blast" the "Sketer" V3 from Team Corally and maybe vs MAXX 2.0 it would be a great pleasure....
That is a very cool RC car. I'm definitely going to try nitro some day.

Holy smokes (pun intended), that last part was actually some really good driving :D
Heat up the engine with a blow dryer or heat gun it will be easier to pull. New engines have a tight pinch
First
congratulations
Hi
Isn’t Candis with joe right now
Definitely the best rc channel on RUclips... 100 percent... I love true reviews and your bashing is by far the hardest around lol... keep up the good work
Never thought I'd get a Nitro RC.. But damn you. Now I'm getting on. Lol.
Christmas Everyday never gets old
We expect a big burnout next video to beat this smoke :D
yup
Dude the AMG GTS and GT3 are my fav cars ever designed. Such a sick beast of a nitro! Absolutely epic
I will always be a nitro dude. Love my electrics, but they don't sound or rip like a nitro. Always gets to me! LOL.
I'm sure Dimitri Nitro gang will be so proud of you with this video bro lol you the man Kev!
Iv been waiting for this video since I see that beast at the skatepark. You really can't beat the sound of a nitro changing gears 😍 great video as always Kev 👍
At the end when u were drifting, the exhaust smoke made it look like tire smoke 😂
Hi
Man U should yank that Kyosho.25 out and get u an inroad specific engine and matching pipe and bet that thing would rip way better. Great job as always boss!
Nitro is a pain in the ass, hardly ever starts, hours of tuning involved, but holy sht it's the best 😍😍😍
Nitros..
"Fun when they're working"
Loved the ending.
Yessir watching this instead of studying for midterms!
One of my favorite vids from you kev

WOW, Nice driving mate!!!! Your engine tunning skills really need improvement though... The Electric truck looks like a TOY next to the raw power of the Nitro car... BRING NITRO BACK!!!
Hi bro
It always nice to see rubber burning 💥
Cool like always 👍
if you warm the engine up it will start right up nitros dont start right up in the cold car looks good
Worlds fastest nitro car Kev? Maybe a future project with Mick as tech support?
THAT THING IS ABSOLUTELY EPIC
When its below 15 degrees celsius outside you should preheat (use hot air vents of your car) the engine before attempting to start it, to avoid having to pull the cord for tens or possibly hunderets of times.
Please kev please...
Hit it with a hair dryer before u crank....
Then invest in one drill start and wand then fit a tiger start or the traxxas electric start and i promise nitro will be waaaay more fun for you,other than learning what the l.s.n and h.s.n is does and where its located.😅love your vids.
Great footage,everything we wanna see.ty for you time and hard work.
3:00 love the wind tunnel smoke test ,
Put some bathroom scales underneath and a massive fan in front and see how much downforce it has 😂
Andy makes a good, improvised portable drift track huh?! Better than a figure of 8 , He is a figure of 32! Wicked. Go Andy the Landy!
Always look forward to these videos
Love the sound & smell of NITRO...
Thid Mercedes body just looks amazing.

OOOOOHHHH ITS CHRISTMAS EVERY DAY!
Keep up the good vids!!
Kev love your video and nitro and please get an ecx amp crush and convert it to nitro
The best way to start a pull start is to do fast short pulls. No hate just advice from a fellow rc guy love the vids kev keep it up ❤
May Filipino subscriber ba dito. Nice RC you are a great collector. Im your Filipino fans here.
The Mercedes AMG GT-3 race track edition,hmm pretty cool!
Liking that new smoke machine for the cars!
Can’t beat pre-heating the engine with a dedicated pre-heater or a hair dryer before trying to start it. Warm up, couple of pulls and you’re in business! Said this before on one of your vids
@RcLoko 🤣 true
Just heat up the new engine with heatgun and it will start 10x easier :) While they are new, they are soooo tight. Nice vid, thanks :)
This is what nitro RCs should be.
Loved your car with scooter wheels mod video. Also can not wait for the next installment of the Worlds Fastest Project RC Car.
you finally broke in the motor instead of ripping it lol love to see it
It's not Traxxas... Kyosho is by far the best RC brand in the world! 🤘🏻
Always happy ti see your vid pop up in my notification
To*
Finally been waiting for this! Awesome video as always
Hi Talbot,
can you please review the maverick phantom xt.
Kev, from a person that has been around nitros for a while, please get yourself a R.C. failsafe. It will keep your nitro from becoming a runaway. I've seen too many bad accidents from not having one.
But epic vid tho !!!!!!
Incredible sound when it changes gear
Absolutely love ur page I’m disabled with muscular dystrophy an cerebral palsy n love the rc hobby
It's great fun seeing you struggle with nitro !!!
Kev you should upgrade your wltoys k989 to the max with banggood special parts.(If you have time😄)
