It's not 10x more maintenance. In general, don't get any rc car if you aren't slightly mechanically inclined and willing to turn screws. Electric will require knowledge and upkeeping of batteries and charging. putting them in storage mode etc... A nitro will require keeping engine lubricated during storage and keeping fuel out of carb/engine. Tuning is not what most people describe it as. It takes very slight adjustments as needed. Electric motors and ESC are very finacky. You need to be well skilled in soldering connections properly. I found electronics much more annoying to troubleshoot. Dealing with programming etc... Nitros are all mechanical when it comes to issues. Once you learn the basics, there are clear reasons why you may have trouble starting an engine, or issues with the drive gear. I find it more satisfying to work on and more rewarding when working. Adjusting little things to have the car behave differently and get more power/speed. With electric you can change the gearing or put a different battery pack. Changing both of these usually lead to engine/esc overheating and seizing or fires. Nitros you can change many things from fuel type, exhaust/header, carbs and carb adjustment, gearing, upgrading crankshafts/bearings.
Looks like the grave digger has started digging its own grave 😅. The double shock conversions Kev's done seems to be standing the test of time; no bent or broken stand-offs so far.
Huge thanks to you and (the crew Andy, Clair, 8s and so on) for all your videos on so many different vehicles. I finally got a cheaper buggy, and it put a big smile on my face . Looking forward to progressing in this hobby via your vids. Thanks so much for your time.
OMG Kev! I gotta go old school and pick the grave digger. It's just so big loud and obnoxious. That one air you pulled off in the skatepark where you got inverted and then brought it back down was soooo sick. The slowmo of that super jump into the grass was epic too. Imagine how high that would have been scaled up to monster truck size? It would have to be like a ten to 15 story jump!! When you stuffed the front end on landing in slow mo it looked like someone breaking their ankle😅😂
Hi Kev I love how you have been posting more gas and nitro content. And when I saw your revo videos it inspired me to get one. Love the videos, keep up the good work 👍👍
Extra complexity, heavy, and then you’re dealing with the hazards and downfalls of both lithium batteries and combustible fuel, the limited cycle life of the batteries, and the maintenance of internal combustion… all the downsides of both options but no performance gain beyond what either is capable of.
Kevin I’m a long time fan. If you want rear wheel steering to work at speed you need more CASTER. The caster effect is what a shopping car wheel does to stay straight. Same thing for a “safety bicycle.” It is absolutely required in a 2 or 4 wheel vehicle to get the front wheels to return to center. With rear wheel steering at high speed I would assume you need caster in the rear too… ✌️good luck I enjoy your content
To lock the rear steering you could have just done what pontiac did with the fiero: lock the tire rods to the diff/mount and kept the hubs the same. that way you could adjust toe in/toe out on the rear wheels if you had an alignment issue or tracking problem.
You should have flipped the servo then shortened thr servo arm.. Thanks for the channel btw. Big thanks. Your channel made me buy my son an rc car for christmas .😊 He was watching my youtubes.😂
I'm a big fan of the gas/nitro rc stuff, I know it's slower but it's the tinkering aspect of it that interests me. I love tuning, adjusting a real combustion engine. The noise and smell are also reasons. I do have some electric rcs and their way faster and more reliable and I enjoy them just as much but it's hard to beat an old fashion smoke blowing noise maker
I always remember growing up and started on electric cars and had tamya's but the batterys never lasted long so went on to electric then gas engines . I cant believe how good battery rc cars have become in 20 years
Well, if you properly maintain the gas one, it's no diff than a lawnmower. The ISSUE is they are so small, the carbs etc are prone to clogging, and they are more sensitive to atmospheric pressure etc which is why all cars are EFI now. The computer measures how much air is going in, how dense it is, then adjusts the fuel amt accordingly. You're the computer in carbed engines.
I love them petrol models, however my community was not so welcoming to my Losi Baja Truck. Switched it to electrics, nobody complains anymore (or at least not for the noise ;))
To be honest, I was quite surprised to see the gas powered having a better top end than the brushless! 👀 Nitro is all cool for the smell and noise, but since electric got seriously quick I haven't looked back once! But the race outcome was very surprising. 💯👌🏻
Imagine this truck having a Nitro engine on it... wish those running v8 model engines had the power to run this truck. That would be the engine to have.
Hey Kevin! I just got the primal grave digger and have a Taylor 80 supreme ready for it. What are the must have upgrades to handle the power, and has anyone used high speed gearing with the big block? Thanks for another great video!

Yes sir ม้าน้ำลึกประมาณ 7 ชั่วโมง
I will do 10 pushup for every like this comment 😅😅
160 you are dead lol
If you're a newbie avoid gas/nitro. It's 10x more maintenance and if you can't maintain a electric rc, you won't be able to maintain a nitro/gas
Nitro is a pain in the but but petrol not too bad
It was the 1st thing I did, couldn't get use to the engine, to much messing around trying to start it, I never looked at Rc's again
so true. But the petrol one is soooo cool
@@Deekm69 get an electric rc youll have a blast

Kevin: that was a fun day
Me: but its all broken 😅
I found the problem. Ground vehicles are NOT air vehicles. :)
@techpriest4787
the flying is not the problem
its the landing 😋
Omg these two giants, are insane
Brushless all day for me. Look at the chassis twist; so much torque! And that ESC can handle 16S. I think you know what you need to try, Kevin! 🤣
I love gas/nitro. It's harder to maintain, but man, the smell and sound are what it's all about, right?
My neighbors would LOVE me to drive this around my garden on weekends!
Is that bloke in the office still watching you ? 😁
Haha probably!!
@@KevinTalbotTV
Take a drone and watch him 😆
Lol
What have I missed? Bloke and office 🤔
@@Deekm69 In one of his previous videos there was a guy in the top floor of the office next to the road where they did their speed runs.
Kevin sitting in between them really puts them in perspective how massive these are.
and how small kevvie is hahahah
I would love to see an X-Maxx this size!
Huge thanks to you and (the crew Andy, Clair, 8s and so on) for all your videos on so many different vehicles.

Im not even into RC cars but this channel has to be my favourite right now. Kevin is a crazy f*cking legend of a human being ... TUMBLE WUMBLE!
It’s like they need the weight balance a little farther back, so hard to keep the front up in the air! Love that sound 👍
wild because the engine and everything is mid. The battery and controller is in the rear as well.

I like them both, each one has its own place. That Taylor sounds healthy!
Last words an RC car hears before breaking a bone: OOOOOOOHHHHHH!!!!
This year is gonna be amazing on your channels and we can’t wait. Thanks Kev ✌🏼❤️😎
#1 RC Guy on the planet.👍
8:29 sick recovery!
The guy in the window must be real jealous of those! Lmao!
Back flipping a Raminator!!! Awesome video!!! Happy RC’ing Y’all!!!
this is the video we all wanted to see
Fantastic big machines 🤩🤩
You know that the grave digger is loud when we’re struggling to hear kev shouting over the sound of the engine
flipping huge monster madness 👌💪💪👍😀 love it 😀👍💪💪
I would love to see a hybrid Rc Car
to get the worst out of both concepts? as in 1:1 it’s awful. go electric or go petrol

@@emersonb5764I think it would just be an interesting project,Maybe a trying to make one tank last awhile
Exactly what Kev said, Gas powered is great but noisy. Electric is easy to use and you don't get chased by old people on mobility scooters.
I like them equally, they both have their merits and owning either would be fun regardless.
The” Trololo “song when “wasted” is pure genius 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙌🙌🙌😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
First time I seen kevin bummed out about breaking one lol
On a wish list one of these
Awesome video Kev 👍 I always like the Raminator and 1/5 content. Those things are so huge in person!
I never knew RC stuff had got so large until watching this channel and i do not even own any RC stuff. Great channel Mr. Talbot...
Yeah these two trucks are almost 15k
My car second hand new car cost me a 5th of that 😲
Kevin I’m a long time fan.

Those raminators look super fun!
I love that petrol digger 👍
Man those are nice RC cars.
These rc cars are cool
😮😮
Ive got 8.5 acres and neighbours whom we mutually hate each other, so
THE Petrol 2 stroke FOR ME please! Lol 😂

Adds a point of failure.. and hes said many times that he hates RCs that have that to lock the rears.
You just don’t get how loud it is in the video but awesome. Great stuff makes my savage xl look like a granite 😂
You should have flipped the servo then shortened thr servo arm..
Thanks for the channel btw. Big thanks. Your channel made me buy my son an rc car for christmas .😊
He was watching my youtubes.😂
MyFavorite rc car RUclipsr I like the gas one best it is so cool and loud
You have the best RC Cars ever lol 😂❤❤❤
you know your RC is serious when fire is a practicable tool =p

Amazing
Dude it sounds so awesome in slow motion ❤
Gotta love that BRAP!!!!!!!
Waitin 4 kev 2 make the real monster truck RC .........
Imagine one of those raminators with a giant nitro engine that has like 50 hp or more in it, that would be epic
Just needs a constant supply of Diff's :D
I always remember growing up and started on electric cars and had tamya's but the batterys never lasted long so went on to electric then gas engines . I cant believe how good battery rc cars have become in 20 years
Thanks Kev! I just bought the Grave Digger, and I was considering the 4-wheel steering conversion. Not now :) 👍👍👍👍
Electric for me. Seems to have quicker throttle response in watching the video but slower top speed. Can’t go wrong with either.
Love the Boom.
I like the smell and sound of a 2 stroke engine but electric is definitely less of a hassle.

Love both.wish I could afford one.great video.
Hey Kevin I'm a big fan and a soon to owning a X-maxx myself! It's been fun Building it slowly and ordering parts every weekend
By the way I love your videos so much please don't stop makin' 'em
I have to admit, it looks very fun.-)
Talbot got me into nitro, so, thanks for that!
SubhanAllah Alhamdulillah MashAllah FI AMANILLAH
I love them petrol models, however my community was not so welcoming to my Losi Baja Truck. Switched it to electrics, nobody complains anymore (or at least not for the noise ;))
Should do a tug of war between the two
Love the digger, I had an all aluminum T-Maxx that unfortunately got stolen from me look just like that but smaller. Love your bashing videos.
Great video kev!
I’ve never seen a grave digger do a whip lol love the vids kev keep up the good work 😃
I bought a Axial Ryft Yesterday, thing is a beast.
lately I have been watching a TON of your video's, I think so far I have watched over 652
I cant stop 😂
Boom!
My kids said this is their favorite video or yours! lol awesome stuff Kev
boom! glad they liked it! how are you bro??
@@KevinTalbotTV doing great man. I’ve been putting on Rc events every month for about 5 months now. Having a blast! How are you dude?
@@TrailerTrashRC thats epic! I've been moving to isle of man. We'll have to catch up soon
@@KevinTalbotTV yes! Awesome bro! Excited for your move!! Let’s catch up super soon man.
Hi Kevin you are amazing thank you for my smiles tonight.
Awesome trucks
I swear you couldve saved that last landing😂 throttled it out😅
They look fun but seem to always break under any punishment
That grave digger is really fun
I would love to have the grave digger but having a body like your monster truck would be AWESOME.
To be honest, I was quite surprised to see the gas powered having a better top end than the brushless! 👀 Nitro is all cool for the smell and noise, but since electric got seriously quick I haven't looked back once! But the race outcome was very surprising. 💯👌🏻

I enjoy seeing others use my city Milwaukee tools 👍🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Cool video, Kev. Too bad we can't enter draw here in Canada.
Cheers.
👍🤠🇨🇦
That gravedigger is awesome I would love to have one of those
Nice video ... waiting for toy to hobby rc upgrade....
You sir are nuts great vid 👍👍👍👍👍
Hello, what to you with about the new Max6 G2 for the X-Maxx and what kind of pinion you think are good for speed and jump. Thx
OHHHH Say can you SEEEE, Kevin Talbot IS the MAN, He may be WEEEE, but he's mighty as HELL! 😂Kevin Talbot 2024 POTRCW!
My Guinea pig died not long ago so I’m sad though your videos cheer me up, thanks kev❤
wow! great🎉
Cool
Today's my bday I have been watching you when you became a RUclipsr!
Hey Kevin! I just got the primal grave digger and have a Taylor 80 supreme ready for it. What are the must have upgrades to handle the power, and has anyone used high speed gearing with the big block? Thanks for another great video!
His most favorite RC lawn dart😅
I love your videos ❤
Oh maaaan I want one now!! 😂
Fit twin gearbox to either ramminator
Very nice 👍🏻
Hello I'm one of your biggest fans and I love your RUclips channel
Hey everyone, BOOM!!!
