1:25 Hey Kev, I'm a mechanic and found this online; Typically, driveshafts contain universal joints at the ends. Over time, the grease inside the fittings can disappear, leaving the U Joints all nice and dry, but that isn’t a good thing. When the pieces are not able to turn and move freely, additional strain gets put on them. So much so that the universal joints can break while the vehicle is in motion. In turn, the driveshaft can become disconnected and hit the ground. The issue can be dangerous, as the car won’t be able to drive forward or backward. That would be bad at 100mph!! Also, why are you driving that rust bucket that fast? I can't judge I drive a honda accord with almost 300,000 miles on it well over 120 HAHA
Kev you're amazing i think if i get a 5T i don't think i'll jump mine that but it's cool to see what these rigs can take. Currently i'm saving up for another X-Maxx thanks to you for helping be decide i needed another one.
If the drive-shaft comes off at high speeds it could cause a roll-over. If you use a "drive-shaft loop" even if the drive-shaft comes off it will keep it from rolling the vehicle.
1:29 I have dropped several driveshafts. The rear joint isn't bad. A loud noise, the engine revs and you begin to slow down. The shaft will slap around for a few revs and then the transmission (transfer case for Andy) will spit out the driveshaft and start leaking some fluid. If the front joint goes the shaft can get bent and really whack the bottom of Andy, but I have never lost a front joint.
It is amazing how those suspensions take that abuse... I was pretty impressed by the way that blue and white two stroke stuck to the ground without bouncing as if you landed it on the moon...🥴
You don't have the approach angle for that ramp. You were bottoming out the front end and losing all your speed when you hit the ramp. Get stiffer springs and crank them tight, I bet it would fly wayyyy further!!
I bought a Baja 5T when they were relatively new, and I am pretty sure that is overall the most fun RC car I have had, for now. All the stuff you could get too, the only thing is that it can be noisy and needs som space. And a bit pricey, especially if you are not careful with the ordering of parts..
Did the Losi get a larger engine? yours seems a lot faster than the ones i saw several years ago. that thing is so sick, I just wish I had a place to run it.
Great vid yet again Kev. I reallu am constantly amazed that these cars/chassis regarless of brand take as much punishment as they do, that they aren't really designed for, before breaking.
Is it sad that I am jealous of just his packages being dropped off? I could only wish that I could get that many exciting packages delivered to my place like that.
Kevin. I just wanted to say "thank you for all your help and wisdom" my custom monster truck is up and running. The project started off as a HPI Wheelie King but has evolved into a nice piece of kit. Just the finishing touches to be done but is running. Kev. You are an inspiration. 👍😁
"Gas" is a little different in Europe. I believe they have 97 octane that is "equivalent" to the US 91 octane. Before being a know it all try knowing MORE.
VP110 with dominator 2 stroke oil is the way to go and I run 50/1 why would anyone drown there two stroke with oil running 25/1? The manufacturing only puts that in the book because its stupid safe you are literally just drowning your motor with oil, gas makes power not oil.
on that large of an rc car, using an fpv setup would be good because it is stable enough to actually see, I tried on my lfb cheetah and it was so bumpy that it was unusable
Hey Kev can you make a fully custom rc car with the biggest brushless motor you can find? I think it would be awesome to watch you make one that bashes but also goes at least 90mph lol
You could absolutely run alot leaner than 20/1 my dude✌️🤙 might get a few more mph's or kph! Would be awesome to see there 5t geared up a little bit and really get er up high!!
how do the cars are stabalized in the air ? do you guys are having an controll for that on your remote ? or it are the cars only good weight balanced ? I think i see some adjustments in the air ^^ absolute fantastic looking how is that possible ?
me: waits for kev to jump the petrol car video: starts playing clip of it youtube: HAHA YOU HAVING FUN? WATCH THIS HONEY AD YOU WONT REGRET IT HAHAHAHA
Throw some lead weights in em! ^_^ its tricky to balance electrics because the battery is so heavy and usually is on one side. Best bet is to weigh the battery against the electronics on the other side and add lead to compensate, itll be flatter then. Balance is part of race tuning after all.
Can't hate on a man that has built his empire, and having fun all the time. Living the dream. You the man.
Yes your right
You can however hate on the music choice 🙄so annoying

So true
Dude that losi is the sickest rc ever made! And you just made it look even cooler lol
I love that Losi 5T 2.0 what a tough 1/5 gas. And also it looks like it handles and jumps very well.
I want to see a parachute 🪂 pop out then release upon landing James Bond style!
I'm still waiting for you to jump the XO1 on that ramp :))
it would be like the jump they did on roman atwoods channel over his ware house but straight up into the sky lol.
Have to have a long run up. It would really fly. Now I wanna jump mine lol
How about you buy one and jump it
Same 😂
that will be the record
The Losi sounds like a snowmobile It’s amazing 🥹

It’s always fun watching all of you guys and gals having a good time. That’s what it’s all about.

Very nice bashing as always, good to see those rigs getting their durability tested!!
RC Cars have moved on a long way since I raced them at a high level back in the late 80’s / early 90’s
I am honestly shocked at how well that Losi drove and jumped! Keep up the awesome videos!

The losi 5ive was sounding like it was running really lean an needs a taller gear
Hi you PRo😎😎
That 5t is impressive! She took an absolute beating!
That losi sounds like a dirt bike 🏍!!
Love itt!!!everything you do make me want to watch more of your video.. 😁 😁 BTW Can you review drag slash traxxas rc? Pretty plz😊😊
yessss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please unboxing arrma vorteks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Kev has set a world record of not breaking anything on an outing !!
Did the Losi get a larger engine? yours seems a lot faster than the ones i saw several years ago. that thing is so sick, I just wish I had a place to run it.
can you do a review on the Traxxas e-Revo 1/16
He bought one and he is still waiting for it to com
Oh ok thanks
Losi 5T 2.0 best truck ever made it’s a beast 💪💪💪💪

That 2 stroke Losi sounds awesome!
dude where is the 200 mph car we all are waaiting for you to send it TO THE MOON
Awesome!!! I didn't think the 5T would jump that well lol some really good shots inside the dbxl! Super cool!!
Kev-"I've broken nothing all day!!"
Me-"HAHA that's a funny joke"
True true
Random question but is the losi louder than the raminator?
yeh think so
Man I could never jump my 5T like you Kev!! You're an animal brother hahaha
...5:20am here in pa., on my wat to my concrete molding job....uggh smelly, worker life lol!!! Keep grinding kev, the content rules!
Same here man, I'm in MA getting ready to go crawl into someone's attic to slap in some HVAC
Uggh just as bad!! Well, be safe and kick ass man!! People like us are needed
@@aggrosaxon459 Same to you man!
Me too, in Va, heading to demo some walls and ceilings out of a school.
@@robsrcinsanity1220 Hell yea man! Take a few good swings for me and smash that school
These videos really make my day ten times better keep doing what your doing there really entertaining 😂👌
These are the greatest promotional any rc company could ever ask for lol im a losi fan boy after seeing this lol
when that driveshaft falls out of Andy, you now have a front wheel drive land rover.
And a battered land rover.
Exactly
I don't think I could break an RC in every video even if I tried those skins are EPIC!!!
🤘🏻🤜🏻🤛🏻
Hi Kevin 👊
That is some insane jumps dude.
Great video 👍
3:57 why is that so fricken cutee
Like dude its litteraly ckickens and their mom
Is it sad that I am jealous of just his packages being dropped off? I could only wish that I could get that many exciting packages delivered to my place like that.
I’ve heared that the rustler 4x4 is pretty much the same as a vorteks
Vorteks vs Rustler 4x4?
Rustler sucks!! That's the difference!!
@@ericpeterson9676 the driveshafts suck, and the shocks a little, but mine has those upgrades on it and it’s a beast!

It's going to be fun.
It'll be going over things while my Savage (25) will end up going through things. Another custom job.....
That first person view is epic, just like sitting inside!
Kev, bud, if that falls off on the front whilst you're driving. Dude, you're GOING TO THE MOON!
@Roger 6.5 C its true
It’s 25 to 1. Use synthetic 2 stroke oil. Ideally minimum 91 octane or ethanol free fuel.
"Gas" is a little different in Europe. I believe they have 97 octane that is "equivalent" to the US 91 octane. Before being a know it all try knowing MORE.
VP110 with dominator 2 stroke oil is the way to go and I run 50/1 why would anyone drown there two stroke with oil running 25/1? The manufacturing only puts that in the book because its stupid safe you are literally just drowning your motor with oil, gas makes power not oil.
That losi 5t is literally screaming for a 2 speed box and some thicker diff oils.
yes!!
Yes, normally the 5T 2.0 drifts much more, this one is spinning the inner wheel like crazy
And a fatter tune!!!

why was there so much rca flipper over in the start of the video in the ark raceway
Those who don’t know the drive shaft starts spinning rapidly and will destroy the whole floor and everything
Awesome video. That Losi is amazing. Keep the great content coming.
8:41 Not enough damage, Martin’s not interested!!!
All of my favorite rc cars in one video!!! Could it get any better????!!!!
You could absolutely run alot leaner than 20/1 my dude✌️🤙 might get a few more mph's or kph! Would be awesome to see there 5t geared up a little bit and really get er up high!!
Great video Kev as always
Really cool stuff! Was actually wondering if I can make my Tamiya Bullhead run that fast. XD never tried modding it tho(dunno if that's possible too).
Wow great Action, awesome Video about the Losi ! Thanx
The onboard camera needs to stay, some good shots from that.
absolutely epic😉
If that “thing” (driveshaft) falls off you lose linkage power
Good job hahahahahaha
it's so cool that your mom let's you do all this cool stuff.
No matter how hard I try to not spend all my money on this hobby, I still end up spending wayyyyyy too much money.
Can we just appreciate how good kev’s cameraman is.
That Losi is 30 pounds, it's a lot of weight coming at you.
Is it just me or does that sound nice 🔥
How else would you get Andy to do a front flip.
BIG MONSTER TRUCK BUILD!!!!! CANT WAIT
We call that coming off “instant shit”
Love ur show! Love ur enthusiasm for RCs! Watching from 🇺🇸
Those dbxl interior shots are awsome
Look at that more then 10mins of fun! Gotta love the combustion motors!
Hes using racing cars to bash and fly, and hes using bash cars to race
Very nice
yay, I love gas and nitros 😍😍
Wow
Hahahaay
Indonesia here 👋
Nice bro
how do the cars are stabalized in the air ? do you guys are having an controll for that on your remote ?
or it are the cars only good weight balanced ?
I think i see some adjustments in the air ^^ absolute fantastic looking
how is that possible ?
it always lands on the tires like a cat
"Happy now?" LOL! Indeed yes! Full send!
Fantastic video 👍👍
If your prop on the Land Rover comes apart at high speed it may well end up coming through the floor and possible gearbox , chassis crossmember damage
Kev. Your rc raminator is based off of the old design of my cousin’s real monster truck called the raminator

Kevin is the world’s greatest salesman. I’m not even interested in RC cars???
Put a servo actuated parachute on the cars for a gentle controlled descent. Saves $ and looks cool.
The weight of the engine keeps it very level in flight. As a newbie to me most of the problem the electrics have is due to too little weight.
Throw some lead weights in em! ^_^ its tricky to balance electrics because the battery is so heavy and usually is on one side. Best bet is to weigh the battery against the electronics on the other side and add lead to compensate, itll be flatter then. Balance is part of race tuning after all.
@@NeoIsrafil Yes. Thinking about it the components aren't distributed well weight wise.
Great video! Losi takes it baby!! Will the Raminator go to the moon???
Yay !! Some gas action !!
man this rc car sounds better then a RX7
