This video made me order one. I was on the fence but after seeing the abuse it took and still was in great shape I couldn’t enter my card information fast enough
It's one heck of a tuck. I slammed mine to the ground, swapped out the drive train for a felony(direct fit), changed out the body, cut the back off a felony and removed my bumper, then mounted a limitless wing for more ground force. Voila, worlds fastest fire team.
Love my Arrmas. Idk why people get butt hurt about people prefer one or another brand. I’m sure people have issues with all RC cars. That’s why it’s a hobby. If it just worked forever nonstop… that would be pretty cool. With the 3 Arrmas I have so far nothing has broke. On any of them (except the tires) blown the tires off all three. I chose between this and the Talion same price I went with the Talion.
Haven't been involved with RC models since early 80's but I found the fun bit was actually building them, painting and customising the bodywork. Getting them ready built out of a box takes away at least 50% of the fun of it imho. That said great vid Kev and 58mph, christ alive, I've had real cars in the past that would struggle to do that. 😂
Im keen to see Kevin opinion compared to Amber's latest review on the team corally. Edit. Amber is doing a top notch job whilst Joe is casually flying the Airbus A350. Absolute "Giga Chad".
Id say its worth the money. I mean not everyone is going to go full tilt with an expensive item like this. Pretty impressive speed and durability. It almost looks like it levels itself out mid air, which tells me its very well balanced in weight. Id buy it if I had the expendable cash.
You're 100% correct. Try to backflip off a tree, and it just runs straight up 6 feet, turns and somehow flattens out in the air to land on its wheels. Anyone who sees this, keep in mind it has a long wheelbase and smaller tires, not a stunt machine, but the rear brake is a blast.
Tomley is 1000% honest and i have many RC cars based on his reviews and i have not regret not a single purchase....for me one of the most honest reviewer in the world..
Lol ive never had an rc car. Stumbled on this video by the graces of RUclips. Thought wow, id like to have 1. Clicked the link, seen it costs close to 700$ and quickly learned why i have never had an rc car.
I think the Bug body is a great idea. I wanted to like it way more a few weeks ago when it was being teased but we didn’t know what it was yet. I wish they would have taken a more Lasernut approach. I just can’t get past the G.I. Joes with guns. I mean, really?!? Also, it’s too expensive. I’d buy a Mojave (or any other 6s Arrma) every day and twice on Sunday instead of dropping so much more on this one. Thanks for a great video, and for punishing the heck out of it. Surprised how great it held up.
hello Kevin, thank you for this video on the fireteam, thank you for your frankness! I pre-ordered it 3 weeks ago in France! Can't wait to receive it! big-up
Great vid, Kev. I've been waiting for your HONEST review of the arrma fireteam before I pull the trigger and spend about $800. Got tired of hearing all the fan girls.... I mean fan boys rave about it. If it can handle Kevin's abuse, it must be a good product. I think I'll pull the trigger now and get one of my own. M2C needs to release a chassis brace for it like they have for the X-Maxx. Your honest opinion is always greatly appreciated.
Bought this RC the day it was available. Awesome test Kev. I like the body and the guns. Very unique and fun. That’s all that matters. Enjoy it everyone!
Nice Beatdown on the Fireteam Kevin 💯 😃👉 unless Arrma has refined the diffs then somebody else can enjoy replacing them every 3 to 5 runs... speaking of my X-Outcast... If'n I bash it's Traxxas or Losi or Associated Even though I can Appreciate the Military Inspired Fireteam I Just can't spend money on the Arrma ✌🤠👍 Having Fun Laughing Playing and RCing 🙏 Stay Safe and Play Healthy My Friend's ❣️
Well. Why would you want avc on a car thats meant for “drifting” and when this car is a pro-only kinda car. Im not an arrma fanboy but its just upsetting to see this good of a car get a bad review because it doesn’t have steering assist for babies.
I always did the Traxxas thing but lately their customer service has gone to crap, I dont know much about Arma but that was pretty damn impressive! thank you for another great video Kevin and friends!
They are mostly the same except arrma has a metal chasis , so it bends , I have a kraton and a infraction , and like all of my cars it just depends on what you want and what you like .
Have you tried driving some of the arrma's with the chassis bent until it causes a problem? If be curious after they're bent a bit how long till it creates a problem with driveline etc? Seems silly but I wonder if maybe they bend a bit till there is pressure on the braces and then stop, and if so whether that bend would become a bigger issue. Great videos!!
Kev, great video mate - you gave it the beating a durability test deserves 😉 But as I saw in other videos the Fireteam tends to lose some screws from the plate due to the fact that Arrma uses no locktite. It would be great if you could check whether this is the case or not. Thank you man and keep up the great content 👍🏻
Fun vid Kev! Yeah not exactly my thing either, it does go well though, and I thought the chassis stood up well considering. Maybe a change of wheels/tires too.
It's down to the new design of the body and how the body is connected to the chassis. It's not just a hollow body. It's made up of triangulated structures underneath, making it more flexible and durable.
I've only owned 2S and 3S Traxxas cars until now, but I've wanted to get something 6S that's big and fast and scale and stable and tough with big tires. Unfortunately, I don't think Traxxas has anything that checks all of those boxes. X-Maxx is missing the stability, Sledge is missing the scale look, etc. The Fireteam seems to have it all, and I LOVE the way it looks!
Don't normally comment but wanted to say thanks for keeping it real and being honest. I expected a bent chassis as much as you did LOL. LOVE my Kraton's! Oh yeah speaking of that. My son managed to snap an M2C kraton chassis completely in half up at the front bulkhead................... Clean snap.
You definitely are my source of product toughness !!! And you definitely prove it more than once !! Thx man !!! I love my traxxas and learned to accept some others cause of your extensive testing and updates
I'd always prefer 100% honesty I do expect most things like RC cars and planes and stuff to break when you use them it's why we get upgrade parts companies need to understand that you're not building a tank it's an RC car it most likely will break Love your channel kav
Overpriced...I don't say that about Arrma much....but wow it handled your Bashing quite well. And maybe it's the body that throws me off too. Will be cool to see different bodies...
@6:10 thanks for showing that Kevin. We see how tough the new body is! . The truck landed from that very high jump right on the roof! Arrma freaking tough design!
Kev. If companies don't like you saying honest things about their products then they must be hiding something, I'd rather know what could be a fault before buying something so I can buy any upgrades. But I'm impressed with that machine, it lasted a full video. 😋👍
Ya know! i like Kevin T and all that. But One would think! After all this time with 100s of RC car reviews/testing/playing with all of them. He would be a better Driver!!!.
Yeah, I agree with a bunch of you. It's like we want to see the vehicles tested, but the way he just shoves them off tables and what not shows he isn't very modest about his success as far as respecting his things. When you get too much money for not really any real work, you tend to not appreciate or care for the items and that's evident here. A bit more modesty could do this chap some good.
You have me sold, nobody beat the hell out of it like you did...I'm stopping at my local hobby shop here very shortly...vid is not even over yet but I will not beat it even close to what you did....👍👍
Just the opinion that i needed! Thx Kev. Sorry I'm not following your monster truck series.. not really intrested to be honest. But rc! Here i am! If you ever build a SC truck, i will definitely follow that! 😁😂
I picked one up last week , fast , durable so far , fun to drive . However , The only negative point up to now is the body , im hoping it grows on me and i can look past it . Didnt think i would find that an issue when i bought it , but its lingering over me. I think its the action figures , driver , passengers what ever you want to call them . Every time i look at it , i think of my young sons fisher price toys , it just seem a little out of place , two would have been enough . Thats just my opinion , the most important question is , does it make me smile , i cant lie it certainly does , and thats what the hobby is all about
The more his videos appear in my feed the happier I get bc hes real. Also hes a Kevin and I'm a Kevin. Dude, what part of GB were you born and grew up in? You are so funny w cutaways and quips from main storyline. ie; box falls. Cut to. HuWhat Appened Ear?!?!? Fuggin love it
I just found your channel by mistake, and I am an immediate fan! Subscribed, hit the bell and I’ll be watching everything you’ve previously put up! Thanks for the awesome content!
Kev is the only youtuber that i cant fully understand what his saying but still, not bored to watch his videos. Why? Because i love rc playing. But have no time in playing. Hahahah
Still bothers me that I like it 😂
haha you love it!!
Hope you're still talking about the car!
How long is the run time u get out the batteries?
best video kevin 🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
Why.. why do u wanna hate it... What's a GOOD reason...
Kev is the only person on earth I see break his stuff but does not get mad about it. That’s why he’s the best RC youtuber.
True!
100% agreed
So true dude
It’s because he knows how he drives and expects it most of the time
Only person that's not a destruction channel
Crazy how far rc cars have advanced! I remember as a kid having my rc with a wire attached from remote to car. And i thought that was sick lol.
Same. Had a Knight Rider car with a wired remote that did about 2mph, but I thought it was awesome!
They were the shit yeah 🤣🤣
I remember those being "remote control cars" as opposed to "radio control cars". Not sure if that's actually accurate.
I mean they’ve had truly wireless rc vehicles since the turn of the 20th century
In the 80s rc cars were still pretty fast
The 'RC Naughty Step' is actually quite fun... well, I've been having fun anyway haha
All friends now 😆
naughty step is great. honesty is the only policy!
That's total BS what they did.
What I like about you Kev is you test the cars harder than most others, if it survives the KT (Kev Test) then you know its a quality piece of kit.
Haha if it survives half a Kev test I know I'm not breaking it 🤣
Talbot's intensive Testing
Does anything survive with him…..

Not into RC cars and stuff but had to watch because it's so rare to come across an honest person describing something 💪💪💪
I have to say, I am impressed with how well that thing held up. You didn’t cut it any slack and it just kept coming back for more.
It's one heck of a tuck. I slammed mine to the ground, swapped out the drive train for a felony(direct fit), changed out the body, cut the back off a felony and removed my bumper, then mounted a limitless wing for more ground force. Voila, worlds fastest fire team.

Imagine arrma made a staircase just for testing the cars so kev can approve it hahahaha nice vid kev keep up the entertaining contents
Bruh
Its called the traxxas staircase. Its why they make more durable cars :D
Haven't been involved with RC models since early 80's but I found the fun bit was actually building them, painting and customising the bodywork.

I appreciate how you actually test the vehicles and show how much you can beat on them, and the speeds that you actually achieve with them
Hello from V&b speed a new rc community channel ✌ stop in say hi lookn 4 new subscribers thank you
People don’t play enough. They don’t laugh enough. And they don’t break stuff enough. This is full on good stuff. Subscribed.
Nice one! Man we’re gona have to get one of these! You have it absolute hell and its still in good nic! 👌
deffo one worth getting!!
Im keen to see Kevin opinion compared to Amber's latest review on the team corally.
Edit. Amber is doing a top notch job whilst Joe is casually flying the Airbus A350. Absolute "Giga Chad".
HEY DUDES
Id say its worth the money. I mean not everyone is going to go full tilt with an expensive item like this. Pretty impressive speed and durability. It almost looks like it levels itself out mid air, which tells me its very well balanced in weight. Id buy it if I had the expendable cash.
you can control the car mid air through throttle/braking as long as its awd with big wheels and short wheelbase
ebay babyyyy
How much
@@davidfriese6478 $400
You're 100% correct. Try to backflip off a tree, and it just runs straight up 6 feet, turns and somehow flattens out in the air to land on its wheels. Anyone who sees this, keep in mind it has a long wheelbase and smaller tires, not a stunt machine, but the rear brake is a blast.
Tomley is 1000% honest and i have many RC cars based on his reviews and i have not regret not a single purchase....for me one of the most honest reviewer in the world..
😎👌
Lol ive never had an rc car. Stumbled on this video by the graces of RUclips. Thought wow, id like to have 1. Clicked the link, seen it costs close to 700$ and quickly learned why i have never had an rc car.

Ya laser nut or like a sand buggy like Tamiya sand scorcher. I also don’t like those little G. I. Joes
Wow awesome rc car 😊👍
He was the type of kid you never let play with your toys.
Good video Kev people thought I was telling a story 💯
Big facts my brother
Love the vid. Your durability test is how I determine if a car is worth purchasing.
I appreciate your energy man. I don't know anything about rc cars but I do know you put a smile on my face.
I have to say if an RC survives this guy, it's durable. Awesome tests! It was fun watching!
And OMG! You drive a proper Land Rover!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My favourite road vehicle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love how honest your reviews are, I hate that people lie just to get a free toy.
Brother I gotta say, your smile is lookin' sharp!!!
hello Kevin, thank you for this video on the fireteam, thank you for your frankness!

There should be a rating for RC's. TALBOT Approved.
Hello from V&b speed a new rc community channel ✌ stop in say hi thank u
To the Moon!! 🔥🤙🏼
Have to be the best "use / abuse" review I've ever watched. No nonsense and reflecting what most people would put their cars through (eventually). 😀👍
Kev you look magnificent, braces payed off 👏
thanks bro!
Bought this RC the day it was available. Awesome test Kev. I like the body and the guns. Very unique and fun. That’s all that matters. Enjoy it everyone!
Nice Beatdown on the Fireteam Kevin 💯 😃👉 unless Arrma has refined the diffs then somebody else can enjoy replacing them every 3 to 5 runs... speaking of my X-Outcast...

✌🤠👍 Having Fun Laughing Playing and RCing 🙏 Stay Safe and Play Healthy My Friend's ❣️
The fact that they charge this much and it doesn’t come with the dx3 remote and avc receiver is absurd.
Well. Why would you want avc on a car thats meant for “drifting” and when this car is a pro-only kinda car. Im not an arrma fanboy but its just upsetting to see this good of a car get a bad review because it doesn’t have steering assist for babies.
gyro's not really needed for this type of car
This is why a roller kit version of this is more preferable..
My thoughts exactly my issue was always the range of these radios
Nice video again Kev 💪
I love Arrma as much as the next guy. But the fact that Kev checked the chassis after just the staircase made me laugh so hard
This is one bad ass rc. I can't recall ANY car making it to 4 locations 😅😂
I always did the Traxxas thing but lately their customer service has gone to crap, I dont know much about Arma but that was pretty damn impressive! thank you for another great video Kevin and friends!
They are mostly the same except arrma has a metal chasis , so it bends , I have a kraton and a infraction , and like all of my cars it just depends on what you want and what you like .
This is the best unbiased product Review I've ever seen, come a long way from when I used to race bolinks on carpet tracks when I was a kid
Have you tried driving some of the arrma's with the chassis bent until it causes a problem? If be curious after they're bent a bit how long till it creates a problem with driveline etc? Seems silly but I wonder if maybe they bend a bit till there is pressure on the braces and then stop, and if so whether that bend would become a bigger issue. Great videos!!
Interesting point. Kev still got 58mph with the slightly bent chassis and RCDude81 was still ripping his with a bent chassis.
a slight bend doesn't cause any problems
I’m with you about the body. Wish they sold it with other option.
Kev, great video mate - you gave it the beating a durability test deserves 😉 But as I saw in other videos the Fireteam tends to lose some screws from the plate due to the fact that Arrma uses no locktite. It would be great if you could check whether this is the case or not.
Thank you man and keep up the great content 👍🏻
A very nice and cool rc Truggy with a lot power 💪💪👍
Kevins energy and enthusiasm is contagious. Always enjoy the videos
Great review and video!
Hello, Kevin! I'm from Russia and I like your channel and you very much! You are the most energetic and cheerful RC blogger! Good luck!
Liked and added to favorites. Thanks for the video Kev.
I think Arrma orders for this just went up a whole lot. Great review Kev. Your positivity is just awesome. Thanks 💯😎
I reckon I like the way it looks. But dont like the tires.
Fun vid Kev! Yeah not exactly my thing either, it does go well though, and I thought the chassis stood up well considering.
Maybe a change of wheels/tires too.
It's down to the new design of the body and how the body is connected to the chassis. It's not just a hollow body. It's made up of triangulated structures underneath, making it more flexible and durable.
That Landie though!!!😍😍😍
Thank you for the service you provide! It would cost me a lot of money to do this level of destructive testing on all these cars! Cheers mate!
Nice car bro 😎👍
Hey Kev, do you ever adjust the shocks before you take a truck out like this? Is it better to slap the chassis or blow off the shock caps?
That was a proper beat down. Super fun to watch. Still get a kick out you saying "Foot-age" every time.
Not normally my thing Arrma but I’m impressed with this big time and the handbrake thing looks great fun. I want one!
Just got one and this thing handles better than anything they have made minus maybe the TLR Typhon.
I've only owned 2S and 3S Traxxas cars until now, but I've wanted to get something 6S that's big and fast and scale and stable and tough with big tires. Unfortunately, I don't think Traxxas has anything that checks all of those boxes. X-Maxx is missing the stability, Sledge is missing the scale look, etc. The Fireteam seems to have it all, and I LOVE the way it looks!
Very impressive durability. I have had rc that couldn't take a single landing like that without snapping all the connectors from wheel to chassis.
I was waiting on you to get one and your reaction 😊. for me, it's one of their best ones to date.
Definitely looks like a banggood special... I just don't understand why we need G.I. Joes. 🤨🤣
For the “realism” lol
Because it’s awesome. The kid in me is all for it. Lol
