I am going to be brutally honest but I think that the back wing will generate so much drag that the car will not be able to accelerate to the speed it needs to go. Try to smooth out the lines, get down on the front so the car will not lift off and try to keep as much air as possible out of under the car. Try to add some side skirts a big diffuser and a very small and slick wing. In order to go that fast you will have to play with aero at least a little bit.
Hi Kev, I’m your biggest fan, I watch you videos since you had only 100K. You’ve been my inspiration and i cant wait to see you achieve your dreams and build the monster truck and reach 1 million subs. 🤝
The thing is: when you add more power (aka batteries) that increases the weight and then you require different motors and the weight slows you down. There's a reason car makers spend years calculating the proper sized motors, trans, tires, wheels, tires, aero etc. Kev makes a huge mistake: it isn't just the wind resistance that slows his top speed down, it's weight as well......
@@PierreGHedgehog aerodynamics would solve that rather than weight. if he put time and effort into it, hed understand that aerodynamics is something important to look at because itll give you enough down force while saving lots of weight
@@John-shreds that's the thing though, even the Veyron needed a LONG LONG LONG straightaway to reach max speed. The gearing is so high that the top speed is there, but takes a long time to get there. And the Veyron was a heavy pig of a car too.....lots of extra "heavy" luxury items. It's the same with electric vehicles: everyone wants longer range, but that means a bigger battery which means more weight which means less range because you're moving more weight. Same as Kev's car: more power = more weight which requires more power....
@@John-shreds Yeah I'd like to know the criteria for "fastest r/c car" because to me, it'd be relatively easy. Make one out of a carbon fibre plate, skinny solid wheels, and a rocket motor......THink of a soap box derby type car........rocket propelled. Light and super fast with little to no rolling resistance.
Much love and respect Kev don’t let the hard times get you down you are a huge inspiration to this hobby and truly one of the kings I love all your videos keep your head high and keep these awesome videos coming and we’ll keep watching.Kev has always said it best, “as long as you’re smiling you’re doing it right” Happy RCing out there’s 👍👌🙏
That car looks absolutely beautiful!! And the internal hardware is absolutely stunning!!!! I love watching this and I cannot wait to see how this progresses. This is much better than the aero and lightness approach!! Its basically a full on muscle car!!! Love it Kev 👍🏼👍🏼
Great a test drive. Only waited a year for you to show back up in my recommendations. I honestly forgot about this project of yours. So now I guess I'll wait for another year before I actually get to see the car try to beat the record
Thank you so much bro for making all of us entertainment. I only have an a979 b but I saving up for a slash and many others, just so that I can be like you. Thanks bro 😎.
Kev - have you thought about cutting some small vent holes above the wheels to release some of the air pressure? I think that is why you are seeing the front lift. Well...at least that could be one of the contributing reasons. At COTA, I've noticed a big difference in how planted cars are when they have those features.
Hi Kevin, here are some ideas on increasing speed once you get to about 150 mph, aerodynamics becomes extraordinarily important, just as important as power. -ideally, change your whole body design to being more long and skinny, if you look at land speed record cars you will see what i mean. -But since that will mean a complete redesign, here are some ideas to improve your current car: -ADD A TAIL!! This sounds really weird, but extending the rear of the car out to a gentle point increases aerodynamics extraordinarily, because it eliminates the low-pressure area behind the car that pulls it back. Lookup "aerodynamic tail" to see what I'm talking about. -Enclose the rear wheels. Tires cause a lot of air turbulence, and hence drag, especially since you are using foam tires. If you can figure out a way to cover the front wheels too, that would be great, but it might be harder since the front wheels have to steer. -Change the batmobile-style rear fins to just regular fins. Again, turbulence. -Try and replace as many parts as you can with carbon fiber. You are right in that weight really only affects acceleration, and not top speed, but you are going to need decent acceleration if you want to get over 203 in any reasonable amount of space. Also, figure out a way to gear the thing down. I remember you said in a previous episode it was geared to 600 something mph. you are going to need more torque to get through the air at 200 mph, at that speed air is very "thick". Gear it to like 250 mph. -Finally, if you start to have issues with the motors overheating, consider adding small air scoops to direct air at them. And by small I mean SMALL! like 3/16th of an inch tall, and maybe 1 1/2 inch wide. No bigger, because they will cause too much drag. At 200mph, plenty of air will pass through them. Also, make sure the air has a way out, otherwise air will build up inside the body.
Tbh I think the record holder would be watching and getting nervous by now, possible this current setup will do the trick, provided they can keep it on the ground.
Kev well done buddy all round. I’m not going to mention the crap storm that has passed over. But it has passed. Bloody good man chin up throttle down.👏🏁. As a massive long time buggy truck car rc nut myself I love watching your content. And always will especially the are you hungry bit. Keep going Kev. Big up from Bristol uk.💯💪..
Me: has a RC car that goes 30 Also me: That's fast kevin: Has and RC car that goes 140 Also kevin: We need it to go faster Me: ;apfjaflafsbsoiaffafo huh
Dude you have put so much effort and time into this build, I really think you can do it, I think I speak for all of us when I say we're all cheering you on 😀
Kev just an idea maybe you should put physical brakes on the car like the Losi 5t has those disk brakes? Maybe make mini ones because I feel like using the motor to stop at such high speeds would ruin it and physical brakes might save it and make it less easy to crash cause you can just change the pads instead of the motor
Kev, I was a happy man playing with my Blade 230 and 450x Rc Heli! Your fault I had to justify to my missus about buying an Arrma Typhon 6s. Now I want 8s!!!! Your a gee man. Love the videos

Liar I did better
@@hovavrom Agree. Ground effect aero will provide enough downforce for stability with a much lower drag penalty than any upper surface wings.

My perspective: Is that a bomb 💣😂
Gonna blow Martin's foot clean off 🤣
Great car!!! Well done Kevin!!! Please put those bigger motors in it!!
So far, very mind blowing video, but the Cat truly earned my subscription.
Can’t wait for when he has the world record
Me too
this would definitely take a flight as it is right now with full power
Stfu
Can’t wait for when the monster truck is ready 👍
Everyone when they saw the video
“I’ve been waiting for exactly 7 years and 56 days”

Love the project. Weight is going to be the issue with this rc. Upgraded shocks, stiffer spring set and higher shock oil weight should make it proper.
Not the first but i got early :D . Btw im waiting for this to come out
@Alex xD
Shut your face before I do it for you
Same😂🤣
Yup Axel cotto cotto got my back .so don't try us .
?
Can’t wait for this Kev, good luck man would love to see the record shattered!
Me neither, I really hope he can do it especially when kevs more of a basher 😁. 🤞
You’re going to need a stronger chassis brace just for those monster batteries alone!!! 🤣
Agreed
Ebay has a stainless steel chassis brace and HR has the ends.
Looking good. Nice job Kev. Very exciting...
Let's get Kev to 1M subscribers before he starts his monster truck build!!!
Remember the record is only set if it’s on all four wheels, facing forward.. not spinning out of control upside down😃😄😁
Point A to point B. It doesn't matter how you get there. Dragsters have finished their runs by rolling,flipping and flaming across the finish line.
Kev: Tries to make a 203mph R/C car.
Also Kev: Breaks 303mph on accident.
that would be epic!!!
@@KevinTalbotTV Yes, it would.
@@ryanmclaren8570 I don't know you

Hey I love your videos. You’re the best driver in RC cars and I like your rc car collection
At 5% throttle, kev's limitless accelerates faster than mine at full throttle on 4s 🤣. That thing's gonna fly!
Haha 😀
Faster then my 2s too!! Haha 😀
Try to use ceramic bearings it will improve the roling resistence and make it go faster and give more troque
Literally the fastest I've ever clicked a video
Glad your still posting kev bad times never last for ever keep em coming and keep smiling

Well...at least that could be one of the contributing reasons. At COTA, I've noticed a big difference in how planted cars are when they have those features.
Also wondering about a fin like LMP cars. Reduces the likelihood of a rollover if the car goes sideways.
Or just add mo powa
"He spent years developing and designing..."
