If you have to run cactus rears on black carpet you’ll basically always be fighting for steering as they are super grippy. So either change the rear tires for Mezzos/Nessis/Fuzzbites. Or lift the roll center at the rear up!!! Then go to longer camber links at the rear if necessary and play with laying down or standing up shocks. Then start adjusting the front. If your front tyres are wearing a lot faster than the rears, your car still wants to push and your setup balance is off. (Too much rear grip vs front) Before sticking a lot of weights in the front end of the car, try a softer spring first. And go from there.
Ugh, super glue in the eye...I cant even imagine... My first two RC cars had 27mhz AM radios and 3 speed mechanical speed controllers, electronics have come a long way, but you can still have a lot of fun with some really basic (cheap) gear.
I have one but i always hear mine is Really competive so I have decided not to get involved Luckily on sundays they have adminsion to drive on the inside or outside track
Credit to Max, he's 6 and doing fairly decent for a 6 year old. Plus it survived all his abuse to it, thats the perfect entry level racing rc for an event like this for a begeinner.
Kev, just wanna say I appreciate you keeping the rc community alive and well. Your channel is one of the first channels I subbed to like 12 years ago when I was super huge into the hobby. I have since had 2 kids a dog and got married. Rc has taken a hard back seat. Used to race back then. But watching you makes me wanna grist off the old gear and get back out there
You know, I started RC Cars with a WLToys 14401 Buggy, then an Arrma Granite and even an expensive 1:10 Touring Car for racing. In hindsight, I had the most fun with the $90 WLToys 14401 car. I could run on- and offroad with it and the spares are dirtcheap.
The fun starts when you get a big 1/5th scale basher. I had fun with my WLToys, HJX & Rlaarlo. But 1/5 scale bashers is where it's at. They can take on anything you throw at them.
Kev, I don't think it's worth it. It looks like the same run and gun fun at roughly a quarter the price. I know the other one his higher end components but unless your good enough that your literally winning every time. This was a fun video!❤
When you drive the two it is a big difference. The ease of driving becomes apparent. I always thought that the cheaper ones could compete. They can but you struggle more for no reason. Spending the extra money is 100% worth it if you are racing. The cheaper one eventually falls apart and it's harder to get parts for if you even can.
so basically the take away from this is get a RTR and do some upgrades because you can get in and build up to being a fast car. and the inexpensive one could be just a quick with the right electrics which you had to buy for the expensive one anyway.
hmmmm Kevin this is crazy ill pay R28 335,15 South African Rand to own anything like this ever in my life you have lots off fun always XD thanks for the videos I love them all
I have a year old arrma typon 3s, still don't have 3s batteries yet only 2s... its been great, no issues at all I just put hoons on it about a month ago. it goes up to 50 which is good cheap, Im pretty sure it was only 300-350 dollars but its been a great rc and I would highly recommend it for someone who likes to bash for cheap
I agree i still have my 1/8 Truggy she a noisy one with tuned pipe i dont ise it because is a discounted brand so im thinking in buying a Nitro Rally car they are just fun to watch and hear 🔥
My first hobby level RC was Nitro. I just loved the sound of that engine and the smoke. It let people know I wasn't playing with some "toy" I got at WalMart. Also loved knowing that when it ran out of fuel, it was just a matter of putting more in and I was good for another 20-30 minutes. My next RC was electric, 4S capable....I popped the tires doing donuts. Then I went all in and got a 1/5 Scale Gasoline RC....was a crappy HPI knockoff....jumped a tiny ramp and broke the shocks. I mean, Kevin jumps massive skateboard ramps and lands RCs just fine....nope....I jump something that that gets it maybe a couple feet off the ground and things break. Friend of mine has an expensive DJI drone he wants me to try out....if he knew my history with RC vehicles, he would change his mind LOL
great job Kevin, something you can also do is glue the sidewalls on the fronts, only like a small bead, should take away any grip rolling if you have that and initial steering. But it looks like you got a potential winner there. Smooth and Slow is Fast! Keep it on all 4s!
If you compare, i think a plastic body is better for these. Although saving weight isn't probably gonna do much, it's still a difference and it's cheaper. If it crashes it bends, and doesn't stay curved. You have explained it multiple times kev.
Love it. Just love it. Smiled the whole video. Kev you’re such a great guy letting that 6 year old kid drive your cheaper RTR buggy. That’s how kids get addicted to the hobby! Having fun with positive experiences with great guys like you, and the crew you had at the track. Keep these videos coming my man! We love em! 🤩
Wow from last to first Thats why i always say tyres are everything just like on a real car Did you also try to race it without that rear spoiler ? It shout give more front grip and more top speed
Great entry into a lifestyle hobby! Nice track! Love the kyosho thumbnail! I have a 8ight XT kit on the way. And LRP engines in the mail! Even their .21. Hoghly recommend!
Kevin mate you have really stepped it up recent content and your back to my top 3 youtubers ever. I'm brutally honest and you most likely don't care about my opinion but with that said max was killing your chanel in my personal opinion. Keep up the good work mate . Crashed my infraction yesterday 😢
I have both a losi 2.0 nitro race buggy that was fully built for racing with top dollar components, bought it from a friend that needed money at the time got a great deal and also have a pretty old ofna ultra buggy also nitro with the legendary. 28 engine absolutely a torque monster, the ofna despite its weight has been so reliable and dependable that it's still my favorite buggy ever, the losi is actually going to be sold pretty soon as I don't really drive it much at all. And when it comes to being competitive on the track it's mostly about the driver, I've raced my nitro associated mini mgt ( monster truck) in truggy open classes and it's made a top 3 every time, always nice to hurt feelings at the track...😎
Good stuff kev. I have to admit I have zero experience of Yokomo stuff. That RTR or cheap version looks a good car for beginners, just like you said. As for the race results, at least you know that it's not your driving Kev.
Love to see you testing Yokomo 🎉 Have the older brother of the SO2.0 and damn I love it. Haven’t had such a tough racing buggy yet. On the SO2.0 you can use the 4WD Front tires on the Yokomo front wheels, should have also more grip
What if you put some of the electric upgrades from the 1500 car and put them in the 375 car to give it a value of ~800...? Because it wasn't far off for a 1/4 of the price from the box 🤔🤔🤔😁👍
i dont even work on my fpv freestyle drone, this seems like a nightmare that would make me smash up my entire shed lol hahahaha, OH love the videos man
Do the wings help or hinder the buggies? That is weight high up on the vehicle altering the center of gravity. Is it performance robbing looks, or actual performance enhancing ground force?
It’s like anything in the rc world if you tune it correctly yes it’ll help not tuned correctly it’ll hinder and plus the wing weighs like nothing the buggy has all that weight down low in the chassis anyway hope that answers your question
I was surprised to see that the Yokomo has similar, if not the same, rear hub design as Team Associated. I'm starting to wonder if any other makes have gone with that same style hub.
If you put some nice electronics in the cheap buggy, i think its gonna be great. that delay of the esc is just because its cheap, ive had the same esc in my 4wd tlr buggy and it overheated and cut off. but i think with the Xerun hw combo and a nice sanwa radiosystem that cheap rtr buggy is gonna be really good and could compete with the por buggys
Props to max never having raced before going out and playing with the big boys.....give him some time on the track alone and he'll be whoopin asses and takin' names!
@@KevinTalbotTV it's great to get kids involved in stuff like this. Gets them off the computer. Plus it's great for hand eye co-ordination. Keep up encouraging him, and give him some pointers, like a big brother! Good on you kev!
Interesting comparison, I started racing on a Team Losi Racing 22T 4.0 which i tried to build it myself going by what the book said but it didn't work out well and it was very difficult to drive so i traded it away. And bought myself a prebuilt Team Associated B74.1 from my dad which was built by him and ran great and was a 13.5T spec 4wd racer but we don't run it to often since he been busy with Nursing school. I'm currently not doing 1\10 scale racing i'm more of a basher myself and i plan to buy more bashers than racers. But great comparison anyways Kev.
been think about this for a while.... 1/10 4wd electric buggy seems to be just right in between traditionally well known 1/10 electric touring car and 1/8 nitro buggy, but how much difference will they be if we put them against each other? would really like to know how much slower a 1/10 buggy be against touring car on a touring car race track.
7.5t motor is crazy in a 2wd! They are usually like 13.5t or 17.5t I’m pretty sure, race wise anyways. I could just be living under a rock and never seen a 7.5t 2wd buggy class though. I’m pretty sure that drag motors are like 3.5t.

DIY kits are great, as when it breaks you kinda know how to replace and rebuild the car back.
You can get the cheaper rookie one in kit form as well
Yep

You do, all you have to do is be the creator
I have one but i always hear mine is Really competive so I have decided not to get involved Luckily on sundays they have adminsion to drive on the inside or outside track
Shock assembly tip: use a small piece of wood (ie: a popsicle stick) between the shock shaft and whatever metal gripping device you're using.

Kevin always works so hard on these videos for us viewers, thanks Kevin ❤
Ostrich @ 19:55 😳🤣
I just bought my kids the new BL-2S Rustler 4x4 and they love it. Their only complaint is it pulls hard to the left

Kiddy max is just like big max
Just like the xmaxx and minimaxx!
@@slash_kid_214 yes!!
Nice touch showing the diff oil bottle, it answered almost any possible questions
On the tires you can glue the sidewalls. Giving stronger sidewall
6:08 who else went "uh oh" when Kevvie said "now it's time to glue on the tires"? hahaha we ALL know he's a "pro" at it hahahahah
Kevin, the RC GOAT! Never disappoints with his charisma and passion for RC! Always entertaining. I never miss a video when it pops up.

Good tip regarding saftey classes and glue. We only get one set of eyes!
Come to Essex Carpet Clash - this sunday. great etiquette and you'll be more than welcome!
You can also use the crimp portion of wire strippers and it won’t damage the shock
Kev, I don't think it's worth it. It looks like the same run and gun fun at roughly a quarter the price. I know the other one his higher end components but unless your good enough that your literally winning every time. This was a fun video!❤

I've got a competition Kyosho mp10tki2. They really drive awesome and are really tough.
Yes… perfect… multiple days,multiple setups awesome way to convey their difference… all in one video. Nice Kev!
Glad you liked it!
so basically the take away from this is get a RTR and do some upgrades because you can get in and build up to being a fast car. and the inexpensive one could be just a quick with the right electrics which you had to buy for the expensive one anyway.
Don't take this the wrong way, but you are actually a pretty good driver 😂👍🏻
How dare you lol
Loving the on-board shots, it really does show the diffdifference between the cars👍
Been waiting for this type of video for ages!! Thanks kev!
hmmmm Kevin this is crazy ill pay R28 335,15 South African Rand to own anything like this ever in my life you have lots off fun always XD thanks for the videos I love them all
Love that no one mentioned the typo in the title love you kev
I have a year old arrma typon 3s, still don't have 3s batteries yet only 2s... its been great, no issues at all I just put hoons on it about a month ago. it goes up to 50 which is good cheap, Im pretty sure it was only 300-350 dollars but its been a great rc and I would highly recommend it for someone who likes to bash for cheap
Thanks for another great video Kev! My favorite part of the day!
Awesome vid, Kev. Great work. Looking forward to an Isle Of Man update.
Nitro is still fun tho
True
It's the glory
I agree i still have my 1/8 Truggy she a noisy one with tuned pipe i dont ise it because is a discounted brand so im thinking in buying a Nitro Rally car they are just fun to watch and hear 🔥

Keep up the amazing work Kev we love you from Nigeria 🇳🇬
Great to see kev supporting Rochester RC
great shop :)
Love the mustard colour. Great video kev. Very interesting. Entertaining as ever. 🎉
Thats the best build video I’ve seen. Quick and informative. Good job Kev.
Those on board shots were mega kev
Took rc racing.back up after a 30.year break
Do it with my son now and loving it
Great video fella

Great video, would love to see you slowly upgrade the RTR and how it would improve its times. Say spend £100 each week on upgrading it.
If you compare, i think a plastic body is better for these. Although saving weight isn't probably gonna do much, it's still a difference and it's cheaper. If it crashes it bends, and doesn't stay curved. You have explained it multiple times kev.
True BUT at santioned events and tracks that tech before and after heats there’s a weight limit and I bet you that rtr is below the limit
Nice to see a rare good video without intentionally breaking good rc vehicles.
4:28 , yea thats the safest and best way to do it, with a screwdriver on the end of it.
Love it. Just love it. Smiled the whole video. Kev you’re such a great guy letting that 6 year old kid drive your cheaper RTR buggy. That’s how kids get addicted to the hobby! Having fun with positive experiences with great guys like you, and the crew you had at the track. Keep these videos coming my man! We love em! 🤩
Absolutely love when kev says dont use pliers on the shock
Me: 😅😅 do it everytime
More racing and upgrading videos please. These are by far the most entertaining to see the progression.
I really enjoyed this man. I love your content but it was nice to see something different than just bashing and breaking RCs
I really like the longer style video. I'd have to imagine it's easier then making a 2-3 part video series. 👍🏼
Wow from last to first
Thats why i always say tyres are everything just like on a real car
Did you also try to race it without that rear spoiler ?
It shout give more front grip and more top speed
Yeah, first of the slowest group of all cars there that day. He wasn’t racing the same group as the previous races.
good stuff! Stop over adjusting the car and just drive it without crashing and you will be swapping paint with the leader.
Great entry into a lifestyle hobby! Nice track! Love the kyosho thumbnail! I have a 8ight XT kit on the way. And LRP engines in the mail! Even their .21. Hoghly recommend!

What’s that Red Bull F1 on your shelf Kev? Looks sick, hope to see it in a vid soon!
If your talking about the yellow one then he has make a video on it about 5 months ago, just search kevin talbot f1. 😀
That’s not this one, I’m talking about the one that you can see above the table in the beginning of the vid, a blue one with classic RB livery
its a bigger version ill do a video at some point :)
Yay!
Nice knowing I can start somewhere atleast at some point without draining my pockets
One of the best videos youve done, Kev. Informative and entertaining. Epic!
I had the original RC 10 bugy back in the day
thanks Kev, these are the kinds of video's I enjoy. time to introduce grand kids and even my wide (who likes running around the yard,) to RC cars.
Looks like the built buggy has a much lower centre of gravity? That’s going to make a big difference.
Love to see you testing Yokomo 🎉 Have the older brother of the SO2.0 and damn I love it. Haven’t had such a tough racing buggy yet.
On the SO2.0 you can use the 4WD Front tires on the Yokomo front wheels, should have also more grip

I would love to see a build and review on the Schumacher LD3. Looks like an awesome buggy!
18:35 pro grabbing reflex! He didn't even look at the car that was coming just moved!
I'm surprised Kevin doesn't have a shock vacuum chamber. Not a must, but after I bought one, don't know how I lived without one.
Kev , use some heat shrink tubing over some old long nose pliers for shock absorber grips , works a treat if you double up on the tubing 👌🏼
😅 Super cool, i wish we had such a club in my country 😢
Maybe one day
Thanks for that infovideo🎉
On Board Shots. Nice Job 😇😅
good camera placement ay??
I just wanted to say thanks I'm watching for a while now hope you get the record thanks Jeremy
Really enjoyed this content Kev.
Thanks for showing what it could take to get into racing from both perspectives.
i dont even work on my fpv freestyle drone, this seems like a nightmare that would make me smash up my entire shed lol hahahaha, OH love the videos man
Kev , the final race is called the A-Main
Love the new racing buggy, would love to see more of it!
Watching this makes me want to go rc racing. Kev makes his videos to help us do the same stuff! Keep it up man love the content
Thanks for the video can't wait for more isle of mann content

What is the sticky puddy he uses to attach his 360 camera. I know he’s said before in another video, but I can’t find it for the life of me.
How would it handle if you put a set of front tires on the rear?

Whats the cheapest and or most expensive you ca build an offroad 2wd rc ??
been think about this for a while.... 1/10 4wd electric buggy seems to be just right in between traditionally well known 1/10 electric touring car and 1/8 nitro buggy, but how much difference will they be if we put them against each other? would really like to know how much slower a 1/10 buggy be against touring car on a touring car race track.
didnt think we would get such a classic style Kevin video! really enjoyed the journey! :)
Kev keeps doing the best videos and inspires a lot of people including me.
#22:48 what was that 🧐
Kev can you do a video explaining motors like what kv for what very confusing ie what motor for crawler,stadiums truck etc
Whats The best RC car under 150€ can you tell som opptions and i Hope it woldent break so easy and maby watterproof
I'm wanting to get in to rc but what would be a good starting rig I want to off road but do a little sliding on road but want electric at a good price
7.5t motor is crazy in a 2wd! They are usually like 13.5t or 17.5t I’m pretty sure, race wise anyways. I could just be living under a rock and never seen a 7.5t 2wd buggy class though. I’m pretty sure that drag motors are like 3.5t.
you can use any motor in 2wd mod
that yellow looks dope!
i have been doing shocks with side cutter longer then most here have been alive. but i aggree with you on using something better for a newb
It looks good fun. I might have to get a car and have a go.
If there’s any clubs near me.
What kind of camera is he using for his on board footage? It's got great quality.
