That isn’t really techno babble, I mean like battery C rating and how it affects the motor then running through the ESC how motor timing can have an affect on the behavior on the whole RC itself and then that being filtered through the motor and what affect the kv has on the stream of power and then finally your overall gear ratio (spur divided by pinion) and how that transfers the power into something you can manipulate to your own liking, then with all of those four variables you can project or simulate what the end result would be, whether that’s more top-end more torque, some torque and some top-end or maybe the best of both and you have quick acceleration and a very fast top speed....that kind of techno babble
@@surfside75 well yea most people don’t just up n’ buy 3 trucks in a year let alone 4 months 🤣 still expensive to get into though my first car was the e revo 2.0 ran me like 700 with batteries and a charger
@@V8chump my first was and still is a rustler 4x4. I’ve had some serious problems with it but now it’s all fixed and now it’s a beast and a lot of fun. Im gonna get an infraction next
Kev, you cost me a fortune during this whole pandemic. Watched a few of you videos and get me hooked like I was a kid again. I should really say thank you. You've kept us all going 👊🏼
Awesome vid! I laughed when you moved the batteries away from the other rc stuff cause they might go on fire and put them where the Lamborghini is 😂. I know what you meant it was just funny lol
To think how much kevin goes too to give us great reviews and such. Really don't understand why there are people who dislike his videos😅😅😅 because of Kevin I gained more knowledge about the hobby since I started just 5 months ago👌❤️
I definitely look forward to seeing that finished. I personally like when you talk about the more technical aspects of the rc world . I have been playing with them for a year now (gen 8 Redcat as my main crawler that got me in the action) so the more you talk the more I learn. Thank you .
Thanks for all the info Kevin much appreciated especially when it comes to putting together , grease, oil in shocks , and tools used that make it so much easier for all us that watch you .
Nice mods, they look solid. My unsolicited opinion, for the relative weights I think the Xmaxx is a more compact design/footprint, that makes it more robust, among other things. I like the Kratos etc a lot but I think the designs leave them more open to breakages. It was interesting hearing music from the opera Carmen in the background. Good vid yet again.
When you're building a car this size to such a high level, you can't really call them toys anymore. There is some seriously cool engineering going into them. But as you say we're not sitting in them so send it, to the moooon!!! 😃
I would probably spend more time building these RC Cars than actually driving them, love the building parts of these videos. Would like to see something like fully upgrading a stock car from scratch, like an hour long special or something, going into more detail. I know you do the live streams, but a vid on YT would be great!
Kudos for bringing up the point that the charger is basically 4 separate chargers. So many of these companies get away with advertising a max wattage and don’t tell you that it’s all of the charging ports combined. Seriously dangerous practice on their part
Hey Kevin!! If you could please give your bashing school course a little love? Maybe update some the old links etc an add another video? :D I need more knowledge 😄 haha
I just wish I had the money to get my hands on these cars and trucks Kevin has....wow!! I have a Redcat Racing Blackout Ext pro 4×4 and a traxxas slash 4×4.....I'm just starting to get into this hobby and I'm loving it so far!!
it's too bad a company cannot build a rc that will take bashing and going fast, 1k, 2k, 3k in up grades FTS🔥💨💨 I do enjoy you videos man don't get me wrong ✌
I love, love the fact that you put the upgrades in the description with links and such in all your new videos. But I also like to go back and watch some of your older videos and unfortunately, they don't have that kind of info in the description. Either you need to get those older cars out again and make an updated video with the mods or go back and edit the description so that us noobs who are just starting out can make heads or tails out of what cars can use what mods and which ones are not good and so forth. Looking to get an Arrma Big Rock for my first truck and clearly want it to use 6S instead of the stock 3S. So I need your wisdom on a parts list for upgrades. LOVE your vids and I AM a subscriber!! :) Even smashed that bell!!
Hey Kevin! I love the rebuild videos and upgrade parts for these trucks and cars you get and put on live! Your hacks are great on cleaning and freshing up parts and rebuilding them you got a knack for making it fun and informative! Hope you get some upgraded shocks and arms for that Beast! Keep up the great content and videos!😉👍📹
You can build that thing in your sleep take it apart and put together with no eyes but here's the thing how much of that car is actually still Arma you could build that thing out of aftermarket parts straight from the get and totally skip on them aparts just saying it's fast it's awesome take care and be safe great video
That’s why you just can’t beat the XmAx for durability. Just look at all the money you’ve thrown at that RC! Its fun to watch you install all those beautiful alloy parts though.
Hey Kev! Awesome video! Quick question, does the 10% olive oil not make your parts all greasy and sticky? I mean it obviously works well but I'm curious lol
I'm only a minute and 23 seconds in and I'm already LOVING IT!!! LOL. I always get excited when you do wrenching videos. Great job Kev, I love your content!!
Let’s turn an $1,800 car into a $3,000 car! Care of sponsors of course. Some upgrades are definitely worthwhile but many others are only worth it when someone else is paying for it.
Leave it to kev to Spend the time, money and effort to put massive upgrades on an rc only to break it the first time out! Hahaha! That thing is a total beast now!
Yesssss, super upgrades brother and that Outcast will get M2Cified. Curious as to how much weight the CRCU braces added but they look amazing! She looks to rip on that gearing... I run the exact same setup 800kv gearing and all with a 34t/39 spur on my O8S and she rips... Still gotta fit my Max5 tho😳 Great bench video brother and Only one Send😳😳🤔🙄😔 sorry brother Glass arms.... Surly thought the cold had a lot to do with them breaking and landing a bit on the rear ☠️ Did you wd40 them.... Wonder if that helps a bit?? See ya round brother
Damn those arrma break those arms a lot. Really think they look so awesome But I love both my xmaxx and have not (believe it or not) broken any arm YET 😂 maybe thats the mission for next week on the outdoor bmx track. You wonna join in Kev? 😁
Hey KT this is top notch. The wrenching, even though not narrated for noobs such as me, is Amazing! You are really inspiring me in may ways. I am also really enjoying your Ebay (and other) course. Thank you! Keep it coming!!
I have 2 of those ProTek 610 quad chargers. They are great!!! Chargers my 9000mah packs way quicker then my older chargers! Best 4 channel charger out there IMO!! 👍👊👍👍
Titanium is stronger than steel by weight but nothing beats good quality steel (literally nothing, except for nanotubes and graphene) for tensile strength by volume. Those pillow balls will be lighter but weaker for example because there is no extra meat on them.
It really doesn’t matter and I know it’s all just for fun but I think your project fastest car is technically 12s 2p not 24s because your essentially attaching 2 indépendant circutes threw the esc’s which is the same as connecting them both in parallel together because the voltage coming out is the same. But again: it’s all just for fun so call it whatever you want! 😂
@@ezrarichardson279 also I feel like the car could potentially be faster if it was front wheel drive with only one motor PER WHEEL making each motor have to half the work. Also if it is front wheel drive the acceleration slower but it would have a smaller chance of flipping over at high speeds and it would have better braking in case of an unexpected obstacle.
I was looking at how the motor mount plate goes in, and I do believe that you have it upside down. I personally don't have a Kraton, however I did buy the mount for use in a project and it seems that the one corner is cut specifically to fit the other way around.
Each time I click on a video I see that you get another couple thousand subscribers; almost there Kev! Thank you for today's video and have a great day!
I advise You also to put a nail polish on the pivotball nut's thread. It significantly prevents that nuts becoming loose and wobbling wheels for that kind of suspension and works as a locktile
Kevin makes wrenching look so easy. It took me an hour an a half to install a Spektrum combo in a slash....and it's technically still not done 🤣 Btw my Hoss said your Hoss needs a breath of fresh air. 🤪

Kev: puts old oil back in shocks
Me: has heart attack
I do the same for rear shocks but always put new oil in the front🤷♂️
That is what i would of done
I would put the old oil in the shocks
Why the hell would you all use the old oil it's literally dirt cheap and new rebuilt and oiled shocks are sooooo satisfying especially on crawlers
@@shaneclipse97 exactly, it’s like 5 bucks a bottle and it makes a huge difference

Now the question is: How many times Kevin said titanium?
uh...about 3K times in total...? IDK

Yup, that sounds about right.
Or absolutely epic
