Kev, I’ve been watching you for years but a go through phases of using RC cars. After watching your videos daily again, you’ve inspired me to get back into the hobby and I bought myself the new FTX Rokatan which I love. Thank you for all of your amazing videos and inspiring me to get back into the hobby
@@alantaylor353 wow, what a story you have to tell! Big congratulations for over-coming the problems you were facing, sounds like you’ve done extremely well. You should never feel embarrassed to do what makes you happy, as they say ‘boys with their toys’ and in our case that’s RC cars and that’s what makes us happy! Keep shredding with your RC cars dude!
@@alantaylor353 That is quite the story, Alan. Glad to hear things are headed in the right direction. Everybody needs a hobby. Thanks for sharing, bud.
Hey Kev, Avid Subscriber here, bumped into your vids in the recommendations on another vid a fair few years ago, and with me being 40plus in years I must admit that during the first few videos I was desperately trying to find faults and enough of them to turn me off watching and enjoying your content. But being as your content is always very watchable and really put together well, the more I watched the more I liked. 3 years ago after 30odd years I bought my first RC after the Wild Willy and Mud Blaster in the 80s, soon as you first featured the petrol Baja's I was in. Now a 5b Rovan, a 5b Taylor/RCmax, Losi 5t, and now just gonna start a 80cc Raminator and on completion I'll be easily around £15000 in, but loved every minute of the hobby, Driving/Repairing/Upgrading/Testing/Experimenting, love it all, only bit I don't like is the Mrs face when another parcel lands at my door, but at least while that happens I'm somewhere working so it a auto cool off period. Love you channel and look forward to notifications telling me you've dropped another banger. I always look out for you when I'm filling up at petrol station and when I call in Redfin when I'm down that way! Keep it all up Kev and thanks for hours upon hours of unrivalled entertainment!!!
I knew ken wouldnt like it but if you stiffen the ass end just a little and then put some spacers on top of the tie rod ends to fix the steering geometry it handles pretty good. Locking the rear differential also helps keep it straight and slid around a little more. Vitavon makes a sway bar that turns the fake sway bar into a real on that work but the stock one is pretty bad it is infont of the rear shocks putting a lot of leverage on it. Ik kev probably wont see this but if anyone still wants one then thats how you can make them 10x better
Really Happy somebody brought out a King of the Hammers style truck,even happier as it's Losi, they do some nice scale looking stuff ,even if it sometimes means access to inside takes a while,Looking at you Raptor Rey!
I've been waiting for ages for Kev to run and upgrade his other KoH style Losi Lasernut. They're known for their diffs being easy to strip without some work. Wanna see if it lasts more than 10 min of his driving 😄
Kev, IMO the UDR looks better and is much more realistic when driving in slow motion. I'm a big fan of Losi, I just think they could have done much better. On a positive note, you make them all look good, and always keep it entertaining. Thanks for always being real with reviews and not selling out for free products. You're a Legend!
Also I watch your videos literally every single day and you’re the RUclips channel that I go to when I’m feeling down and when I just need a good laugh! So thanks Kevin!!
I remember when my pet companion bird died not long ago and we would both watch your videos while he was on my shoulder am just so grateful that you the amazing Kevin Talbot cheered me up with your videos and kept me going even when days got harder and harder
Great video kev. I live near the skatepark where you film and bought an Arrma Granite V3 BLX after watching you and the crew film whilst walking my dog. Thanks for getting me into this brilliant hobby. I'm absolutely hooked now 👍
Gotta say you got me back into rc cars brings back child hood memories, buy a rc car & its all set up 4u, I remember spraying the shell & putting the car together yourself... 🤔🏁👍
They should know better and start thriving for excellence. Because of Kevin, many manufacturers have made their cars much more reliable. We need more people like him to smash them to bits so manufacturers stop building junk. Kevin is a Legend and a National Treasure for our hobby. I saved so much money because of Kevin. I knew when I bought an RC car that he recommends it was going to be reliable and worth the money.
Compared to.... it looks good but build like garbage. A fake sway bar I mean come on a real sway bar is necessary. Banggoody is a good way to explain it. Too bad the price is so high.
Despite looking similar in design at first glance they are actually scale versions of entirely different types of off road racing the hammer Rey is supposed to be a king of the hammers scaler(mix between Baja racing rock bouncing and rock crawling) and the udr is just a driving model of the traxxas trophy truck
Yeah I don't think this is quite comparable to the UDR for reasons you listed they're not quite modeled after the same real world trucks, both are cool in my opinion. Still enjoyed the video, Kev!
They definitely made it cheap 4 the price same thing happened to my hammer rey did one big jump in One of my wheels was bent it rips on 4s I put it up until I can make some adjustments because I can't get it to ride straight with all that power it's OK overall to me it's need some adjustments It seems like they made it for you to buy upgrade parts compared to my super rock rey that never broke one piece to this day Great video kev 👍
WOW KEV GREAT JOB ON UNBOXING, REVIEWING, AND TESTING THIS AMAZING RC HAMMER REY FROM LOSI!!! IT IS INDEED AN ABSOLUTE BEAST!!! I WOULD LOVE TO OWN ONE LIKE THESE!!! KEEP IT UP MY FRIEND, I AM YOUR SUBSCRIBER AND SUPPORTER!! I WATCH YOUR VIDEOS MAN!!! 😀
Love the hammer rey but you have to do a lot of tuning to get it to feel right. I recommend adjusting the rear links so that the upper links have less link separation from the bottom links. Also recommend replacing the rear sway bar with the vitavon sway bar. Unfortunately out of the box, not rhe greatest but with some modding this thing is a beast.
Exactly I think this is the best answer I'm thinking of getting this one but doing some upgrades to it the udr is a completely different class of truck aswell so I fell as I'd he should've compared this car to something else
I went back and forth for a week between the Hammer Rey and SBR 2.0, got the SBR 2.0 instead, and have no regrets - but either way, it's all about having fun!
Hi kev, as you are doing a speed car (2) I had an idea from an advert I had seen. It is to make a rc car so high on tourque (geared so far down) to be able to pull the monster truck.
I never thought I'd say this, but after watching that vid, I would say UDR all day. I expected more from Losi, but that thing is a brick, all around. The UDR is the only Traxxas I'd ever consider owning.
I have a UDR and I was doing some research into it and it seems to me that Traxxas and Tamiya teamed up on this one if you dig deep. It makes me wonder what Tamiya did and if maybe they built the chassis I will dig back into what I found out and try to send a link on this post if anyone else knows any more please let me know I’m curious. I love The UDR it is a great rig for skill realism
Don’t stop making RC related vids Kevin they’re always awsome 👍 even when you get super famous with the monster truck I hope you’ll still do this stuff too
Kevin - I am interested in finding out how to drive in slow motion. I am looking to improve my UDR realism... ;) Should add - good to see 8S Steve in the video. Seems like a good dude. Oh, and finally. That Hammer Rey seems to fit a use case nobody asked for. A bright red truck with the cheapest looking rear sway bars on the planet that will roll over in a mild wind. Thanks, but this is a hard, hard, hard no from me. As always - thanks for the videos, mate.
Yeah watching kev and Tomley soz can't leave him out lol bith enspised me to get back into the hobby after about 10 plus years or so! Big difference from your HPI rs4 nitros n Schumachers lol I started off with the Armmara Senton just this week so taking abit if getting used to again! Lol so far having fun and see my front massive garden turning in to a mini skate park lol

Kev has always entertained me since 2019 he always has loads of energy and I would never get tired of watching him thanks Kev 👍
Agreed!
I was wanting a new slash but had no idea how the thing worked so I watched kevs videos, educational and entertaining
i agree 100%
I love how supportive Kev is of the younger enthusiasts.
Yeah hehe!!!

Iirc 8s steve did exactly this but also added some other tires so it wouldnt fall over as often
Built my 4th Kit this week and Hydrodipped the body. Thanks for getting me into the hobby Kev :)
I just got a my first kit ordered
Really Happy somebody brought out a King of the Hammers style truck,even happier as it's Losi, they do some nice scale looking stuff ,even if it sometimes means access to inside takes a while,Looking at you Raptor Rey!

Morning Kevin!🤓 Really tough to beat Traxxas! Looks like Steven has the right idea! A righteous spangkin and another great video!
I would love to see Steven wrenching and playing with it 🔥👍 Thanks Kev!!
Thanks Kevin ! For helping my inthusiasum and giving me a more positive attitude .
Kev gave it away this is funny 🤣🤣🤣he gonna want it back when his partner comes back out with it riding right 💨💨
Kev, IMO the UDR looks better and is much more realistic when driving in slow motion. I'm a big fan of Losi, I just think they could have done much better.

Love the late 80's neon green on that Xmaxx!
My favorite part is always when Kev yells……. It’s getting it now!!!!!
The sbr is Losi's response to the udr. The hammer rey is Casey Currie's 4400 class ultra4. The udr is a 6100 class trick truck. Completely different.
Also I watch your videos literally every single day and you’re the RUclips channel that I go to when I’m feeling down and when I just need a good laugh! So thanks Kevin!!

Absolutely epic! Tumble wumble followed by footage 🦶! Love 💗 it!
I love how much Energy kev has when he makes his videos.

Still alot of cars out their that you do that on
You should open an rc park with a skatepark and a race track. Love the videos, much love from Louisiana
Kev for prime minister 👍 be good to have somebody with that much energy and passion in the top job
I love your videos and now my Christmas list is full of rc stuff Thanks!!!
Be good Santa has a list as well!
@@redndeyes true
I like how Kev includes otheres in his hobby
I have a couple Traxxas rc cars, and I absolutely love them.
The test all manufacturers fear… the Talbot test 👍

Hey Kev, after you get the speed record you should take one of your speed cars of of the suicide jump into the trees
Kev needs to se this! FOR THE ALGORITHM
i think straight out the box it did very well!!..thanks for another awesome video kevin
Compared to.... it looks good but build like garbage. A fake sway bar I mean come on a real sway bar is necessary. Banggoody is a good way to explain it. Too bad the price is so high.
You are a life changer Kevin! God Bless you for giving so many people HOPE...God Bless you! Regards & keep doing the good work! India,Mumbai
Losi Hammer Rey, $579. Smiles from tire flappin' cheek smacks, priceless.
Your video's can make anything look like high performance
That gopro shot from inside the cab was 👌
Despite looking similar in design at first glance they are actually scale versions of entirely different types of off road racing the hammer Rey is supposed to be a king of the hammers scaler(mix between Baja racing rock bouncing and rock crawling) and the udr is just a driving model of the traxxas trophy truck
@Blackmage I think it's on the super rock Rey chassis witch is just a modified sbr chassis but Def not trying to be a trophy truck
Yeah I don't think this is quite comparable to the UDR for reasons you listed they're not quite modeled after the same real world trucks, both are cool in my opinion. Still enjoyed the video, Kev!
@@jasonadams7991 yeah, the super baja rey is the “answer” to the UDR
If something looks scale I doesn't mean it performs like it
yea i don't get why he's comparing a rock racer to a desert racer. losi's answer to the udr is the Super Baja Rey/Baja Rey.
They definitely made it cheap 4 the price same thing happened to my hammer rey did one big jump in One of my wheels was bent it rips on 4s I put it up until I can make some adjustments because I can't get it to ride straight with all that power it's OK overall to me it's need some adjustments It seems like they made it for you to buy upgrade parts compared to my super rock rey that never broke one piece to this day Great video kev 👍
Well it looks cool anyway. I love the carnage on this channel Kevin.
Kev you and Fivo Nine got my into the hobby thack you so much
WOW KEV GREAT JOB ON UNBOXING, REVIEWING, AND TESTING THIS AMAZING RC HAMMER REY FROM LOSI!!! IT IS INDEED AN ABSOLUTE BEAST!!! I WOULD LOVE TO OWN ONE LIKE THESE!!! KEEP IT UP MY FRIEND, I AM YOUR SUBSCRIBER AND SUPPORTER!! I WATCH YOUR VIDEOS MAN!!! 😀
I love watching your videos! Always something exciting to see!
The rc tire spanking made me spit my Pepsi out. Lmao 🤣🤣🤣
It gave me a good laugh as well
@@seikojason who would have thought of that lol
I honestly like 5he look and the suspension... The tires act like the real thing
Love the hammer rey but you have to do a lot of tuning to get it to feel right. I recommend adjusting the rear links so that the upper links have less link separation from the bottom links. Also recommend replacing the rear sway bar with the vitavon sway bar. Unfortunately out of the box, not rhe greatest but with some modding this thing is a beast.
Exactly I think this is the best answer I'm thinking of getting this one but doing some upgrades to it the udr is a completely different class of truck aswell so I fell as I'd he should've compared this car to something else
Wish i would have read this before typing up my comment😂
Kev I like you bro you are a really good friend as far as I can see but all in all a great person 💯💪🏾👍🏾keep it up buddy
Kev can you put a 6s motor in it I love this one more like How the suspension travels
I like it but think its to narrow, love the cockpit view 👍👍👍😀
As alway the best when it comes to giving your honest opinion. Great work!!
2:28 lol that was so cute when he looks behind for more crew
I don't care what anyone thinks, your videos are absolutely EPIC.
You listened!! Ive been bagging for this video!! Thanks Kev!! Have a good day!
hi kev thank you for getting me into the hobby.
OMG!!! 8s?!?! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 I’m DEFINITELY going to be waiting for that one
Love ❤️ you're video Kevin keep the good work up hopefully this car will be the first car of the month 👍
I tried the drywall tape and shoe goo trick and it works like a charm!
I went back and forth for a week between the Hammer Rey and SBR 2.0, got the SBR 2.0 instead, and have no regrets - but either way, it's all about having fun!
Yes! SBR is more comparable to the UDR then the hammer rey.
SBR and SRR both smash The udr IMO
@@RCNITROPRODRIVERS yeah i guess
Hey Kevin love your videos keep on doing what you do
I love how happy and nice this guy is
Keen to see what Steven does with it.
I would love to see a traxxis sledge honest review of it. You are brutally honest and I’m between buying a xmaxx or sledge. Not sure which I want yet
Kev you should try the ftx tracer it's a bit slow but super durable. 😁
Needs More speed, more power =s more damage!! Get it kev👍👍
Great video! You should get and test a Maverick quantum+ xt flux!
I agree
That company currie makes the 9” Ford I have in my elcamino. Awesome company
Hi kev, as you are doing a speed car (2) I had an idea from an advert I had seen. It is to make a rc car so high on tourque (geared so far down) to be able to pull the monster truck.
I love that you skip reading the box. Most channels put me to sleep with that who cares about the damn box lol
Hi Kev, I'm from Vietnam, I've just subscribed to your channel for a few weeks, your content is always amazing, destructive style :))
I love in every vid he always says “what do you reken guys? I reken it looks ABSOLUTELY EPIC!”
I never thought I'd say this, but after watching that vid, I would say UDR all day. I expected more from Losi, but that thing is a brick, all around. The UDR is the only Traxxas I'd ever consider owning.
Kev, it's not meant to compete with the UDR at all, its supposed to be a U4/King of Hammers Rock Racing/crawling type car.
You said it Kev. "Bang-goodish"
I nearly pee myself when you guys were slapping his mooner lmaooooooo
Looks Great and runs pretty good
Need to get one
Watch you all the time
You Do a great job
Yeah I dunno, it spent a LOT of time upside down. Seems really unstable.
I have a UDR and I was doing some research into it and it seems to me that Traxxas and Tamiya teamed up on this one if you dig deep. It makes me wonder what Tamiya did and if maybe they built the chassis I will dig back into what I found out and try to send a link on this post if anyone else knows any more please let me know I’m curious. I love The UDR it is a great rig for skill realism
Kudos to Kevin , You are funny and kind , xx
Another video that puts a big ol smile on my face!
Yeah I almost bought one of those a few days ago grabbed me a tlr tuned typhon instead. But you can at least say that truck really whoops some ass.
lmao that tire ass smacking...New to show. Watched 10 of them just today. Fan!
It's funny watching this after the Baja Rey video
I love the way it looks, much prefer the buggy type chassis, or whatever you'd call it, to the sct chassis on the udr
Yes your back again I'm waiting for your latest vids love ur vids and god bless and stay safe 😀😊
I have this car and I really like it bc most people don't know that it's a 4s car! YES THE stock motor and ESC is 4s. Car becomes a lot better
Exactly 😂 I feel like he should have given the car a proper review and comparison
I found that out 👍
Love your videos Kev keep them coming 🔥🔥
Don’t stop making RC related vids Kevin they’re always awsome 👍 even when you get super famous with the monster truck I hope you’ll still do this stuff too
Wow he just gave that away and he spent his hard earned money on it. Mad respect from Florida.
I really like those incar shots, they was really cool. It felt like I was really in the car.
Kevin - I am interested in finding out how to drive in slow motion. I am looking to improve my UDR realism... ;)
Should add - good to see 8S Steve in the video. Seems like a good dude.

Love the video, looks like a slimmer, longer yeti xl.
I click just to hit the like button. Appreciate the consistent real videos. No bullshit.
Always listen to kev he knows best
I was thinking of buying that but after watching this I think I’m going with the UDR
Awesome video dude and great gift, thank you very much, it’s already changed a bit 👍
Ahh the legendary footage,nice vid kev,cheers🍺🍺
I wish I had an RC car like that.
great video as always keV. totally agree with you.to expensive to slow.not very good 👍
Seems cool, UDR better, much MUCH better

Grabbing one of these for the kiddos. Perfect for around the house and woods.
Vitavon swaybar and vitavon bell crank assembly totally transforms this truck. I absolutely love mine
Casey Currie drove a stint for our class 1 buggy in the Baja 1000 some years back. Nice guy
