I'm a 42 yr old dad who just recently returned to the hobby with my autistic 14 yr old son. He runs a heavily modded 2wd Rustler, and my rig started life as a 3s Arrma Granite, but it's evolved into a 6s Typhon/Big Rock/Granite truggy sort of thing. We'd love to own an 8s Traxxas but with my son's special care/schooling the funds just aren't there. Anyway, we love your vids Kevin. My son especially loves the build sequences, as his mind is very "engineering" focused. Keep up the great work! PS: my son loves your full sized Toyota.
I have a Big motor XRT. And I just love all the power it has. Its not a racer its not a drive around the back yard truck. its an out of control, wheels are always off the ground, way to much, and i just enjoy playing with this huge 20+ lbs RC. I think, I most enjoy... is pushing this car and learning to control the crazy amount of fun it has.
i was actually considering, stop watching his videos, because i almost forgot how fun they could be. this was a nice talbot video, no more max content please.
ive been watching you for quite a few years now and remember my first rc cars were a 2wd slash and im now up to a 14 car collection including old ones that a just shelf queens but i love the hobby and youve helped me get into this hobby thank you so much kevin!
Same motor/ESC combo as my XRT but I kept eating diffs so fitted Vitavon ring and pinions gears and so far it's holding up. Great content as always Kev!
@@alonzotorres6361 not sure without looking up, but bought through modelsport so the price on there minus VAT as I’m in the Channel Islands. Tbh the motor/esc is one of the cheaper parts in the big picture of a big can swap, with things like a decent set of packs, drivetrain mods, mounts etc costing just as much if not more I find with Traxxas you can’t just throw in a big motor, you end up upgrading half the car for it to be somewhat reliable
My 9 year old son who is Autistic loves your videos and RC cars, he has a little Traxxas Rustler that he wants to rebuild. We entered for the XRT and he is praying as hard as he can.
Kevvy do you realise how silly it is to build cars so fast that you can't even drive full throttle? But damn we love it lol, that's why we keep watching :)
Great videos Kevin! My son Pim, who turned 12 last Wednesday, also loves watching your videos, although the English is a bit difficult for him sometimes since we are from the Netherlands. He rides a Traxxas Rustler with his friends and watches your videos for inspiration and repair and upgrade tips as well. A XRT would definitely be next level for him and a great Birthday present 😃. Cheers, Bas
You need to get the CofG forward Kev. Just for speed test purposes attach a couple of 12mm threaded bars through the front shocks (somehow!) pointing forwards ahead of the car. On these fix something small & heavy. Ugly? Yes. Dangerous? Very. Will it prove hundreds of pounds of mods actually make the car go faster? Possibly.
Found the best line IMO for belting tires when you make more power you should check out. Its Spider Wire 20lbs test fishing line. its braided line and almost impossible to pop the stuff. Just something to check out if you want to. Watching you has gotten my whole family into RC bashing now just seeing the nice community seems like a great place to take our daughter for good family fun. Much love from my family to yours, and keep up the amazing work.
kev says he doesn't really know what hes doing half the time with RC cars, but he's got to be in the top 0.001% of RC car experts globally right? he's taking apart and upgrading all the stock rc cars he buys like its nothing, he's trying to break the freaking rc car speed record three different ways. what level of expert is he really?
I was into rc cars back in the 90's had some battery and some nitro ones but life and family get in the way. Finding your vidoes has re ignited my love of them. Keep the videos coming lo e watching them.
the best thing about the traxxas maxx is that the ESC has a mode that almost elliminated the wheelies even under full power, though it possible that it does so by heavily reducing the power of the motor so you really never are putting down full power and the only way to prevent wheelies under ful power is adding a lot of ballast to the front like perhaps a kilo.
It probably been mentioned before but what if you install a wing on the front to create more downforce, avoiding it to wheel and get more traction, you would go faster... I think...
Bro you know it’s got power when he can’t sit the fit front end down on any surface that’s insane bro 😎 love it you will always remain the best in my opinion brotha!Game over!!!
Kev, you need to get into full-scale drag racing, next- a lot of the skills regarding chassis setup transfer over, too- you'll learn how to keep that front end down while giving it the beans!
I watch your videos all the time I can't get enough of them teach me so much I built my own four-by-four Traxxas stampede I keep blowing drive shafts why need help 😢
Awesome build, it’s not the answer for the skate park, but if you want to put all that power to the ground proline bad lands are what you need…can get the glued ones or switch out the steel screws to aluminum screws on the bead locks to save weight
If I would have a choice, I preferred to stick to Traxxas's RTR electronic products. Unfortunately, they suck. If I would have to choose a Traxxas product again, it would only be an RTR 10 scale Summit, TRX4 kit, or Slash Kit so that I could skip most of Velinion electronic parts. Thanks for Kevin's videos as they are relaxing and full of fun.
Love watching your videos mate. Makes my day. I Had r/c cars as a kid. Have to get another one. I have cancer now so I can't go out much with my chemo😞 But that's life. Thank you for your videos keep them coming ❤️
You are my favorite youtuber kev, I have been watching your rc cars videos for a while now. I would also like to see a slash on the channel getting upgraded again.
god hearing the old team edge intro brought back memories. also something that might help with the wheelie problem at full power, put a front wing on it for down force at the front
Kevin your xrt is a beast! Killer build! Back flip was awesome and beating up on the nitro buggy was a riot. Bet he wishes his nitro buggy moves like your xrt! Thanks for the video!
Is nice! Time to pull the motor mount out of my Xmaxx and get it in my XRT. Then both will have Max5/800kv drivetrains. I bought the M2C mount for the Xmaxx so now the ESC will stop breaking off.
Hey Kev, honestly I love watching your vids. I would love to see you modify an old school Tamiya frog, hotshot or even the Road Wizard to be a beast. Been running Tamiya since the 80's, and I wish we had some love for the classics.
No I think it's mostly the inertia of the ballooning tires .. he should try speed running again with the belted slicks Sure shortening the suspension in the front and stiffening the rear also helps. Keep it at an angle (nose down)
Put some Wight in the front to prevent it at least a bit from wheelie and then do a speed test and put to engines on it for front and back separate so you skip the axel in the middle plus more Wights added with a extra engine 😅🎉
And Kevin. Gust what. No more Traxxas Erevo 2.0VXL. They just discontinued it 3 weeks ago, Replaced by Traxxas sledge. Traxxas sledge taking over. There’s a new sheriff in town
😊 Bonjour Kevin mets un aileron à l'avant le même que celui de l'arrière tu verras à grande vitesse ça fait la différence elle sera plaquer au sol la voiture force à toi😊❤❤❤
There are better options out there than the traxxas servo adapter use the gpm one and the servo horn that uses the existing bearing for added support and less stress on the plastics.
Loved it. For watching Your videos Kevin talbot. But am a indian i should could not to be able to buy this rc's but. I love by watching your videos my happiness is yours 😊

how can I build ur build
I swear kev is the Jeremy Clarkson of RC. All he wants is "speed and power!"
Soo true
I really want to ask you cough
ok it's Kevin Clarkson from now on..lol
And what’s wrong with that i like speed and power
...and on that bombshell....
It's fun to watch these types of videos, this format. Not so much the videos of Max just breaking stuff.
Couldn't agree more!!! 👍👍👍
i was actually considering, stop watching his videos, because i almost forgot how fun they could be. this was a nice talbot video, no more max content please.
Man that would be so awesome Kevin. You stabbed my sides this morning with the dog mess. It happens to the best of us. Cheers from US.
we laugh because it's happened to all of us at one point lol OH WA lol......
@@muskokamike127 you ever had it squeezed between your toes. I have. Not fun ..12/10 would not recommend. I wear shoes more often since. Lol
Thank you to giving to all of your fans Kev. Really appreciate all the effort you put in for your viewers keep doing what you’re doing, cheers mate. 😎

Yes!!!!
How much did the esc and motor cost you

Kev finally discovered how lucrative giveaways are
My 9 year old son who is Autistic loves your videos and RC cars, he has a little Traxxas Rustler that he wants to rebuild. We entered for the XRT and he is praying as hard as he can.
I have to say the editing is on point with these videos. You never get a chance to get bored . Excellent job!.
I love watching you
I love watching this dude Kevin honestly I ain't ever seen someone have as much rc cars and build them as quick as he does
Kev^
I love that XRT with those racing street tires and rims! Sweet!
Kevvy do you realise how silly it is to build cars so fast that you can't even drive full throttle? But damn we love it lol, that's why we keep watching :)
No silly if it puts a smile on your face!!
I smile CONSISTENTLY when I watch the vids and craziness, Kev!!!!
AMAZING content Sir!💪🏾
@@KevinTalbotTV True that mate.

Now we're talking Kev 😱. This is how you make the XRT fast, capable, and FUN 😍. Great overview and bash Brother 🍻
Thanks bro!!

Nice way to start your morning
Boom!!!
It would be fun to make a front wing to see if you can keep the front end down during a speed run.

Hello from Australia Kev!! Keep up the good work!!
The most expensive thing in this video is the red loctite
What are you talking about? It's not even 100.
Are you on drugs lmao

I’m a man who bought a cheap rn, broke it, now given up on the idea of having one so I just watch Kevin now

i love every single video you made , i wish i can feel the joy in having RC, keep up making great content sir
Ohhh man, that Astra VXR at 6:30 😍
When I grow up I want an XRT. For now I’ll have to try and get my rustler to be reliable.
If I would have a choice, I preferred to stick to Traxxas's RTR electronic products. Unfortunately, they suck.

I'm from Cambodian i like this❤ so cool
I love when You give Traxxas the BBM it deserves 😩
I would love that
You see the difference kevin. It’s twice as faster then a Xmaxx. XRT for life baby
Love watching your videos mate. Makes my day. I Had r/c cars as a kid. Have to get another one. I have cancer now so I can't go out much with my chemo😞 But that's life. Thank you for your videos keep them coming ❤️
I bet, This brother is afraid of his own creation. Too much power, my man
I truly enjoy watching your videos
I need one in my life love the Chanel it great that you are giving away the cars now that way more people get to enjoy the RC world
You are my favorite youtuber kev, I have been watching your rc cars videos for a while now. I would also like to see a slash on the channel getting upgraded again.
Sometimes it's good when something breaks. Rather than break something more expensive.
Shame about the poo. That poor fella dry wreching😅.
Love you content Kev. Keep it up.
You inspired us to make a crawler video.
You know what, I'm not even into RC, I can't afford to be into it 😂. But I love watching you and your Chanel.
Nem preciso entender inglês pra saber que esse video é muito bom! 🔥
Don’t forget Canada eh! Oh sorry, didn’t mean to sound pushy eh. Love watching you blokes play with toys.
You bring out the kid in me with your video’s…..thank you!
god hearing the old team edge intro brought back memories. also something that might help with the wheelie problem at full power, put a front wing on it for down force at the front
Kevin your xrt is a beast! Killer build! Back flip was awesome and beating up on the nitro buggy was a riot. Bet he wishes his nitro buggy moves like your xrt! Thanks for the video!
best mod rc car ever
wow that is one insane motor. Nice Job! :)
supporter form Philippines❤️
Kevin uses the best equipment,Milwaukee Tools are great 👍
Is nice! Time to pull the motor mount out of my Xmaxx and get it in my XRT. Then both will have Max5/800kv drivetrains. I bought the M2C mount for the Xmaxx so now the ESC will stop breaking off.
That's one amazing crash and bash machine.
It would be neat to own the XRT. I have a stock Sledge running 6s (totally worth it!), just about to replace the blown tires with belted version.
Natürlich möchte ich dieses RC Car gewinnen. Mega dieses Teil❤
I Love offroading cars
Who reckons Kev should get some full size slicks for Game Over!? For monster jam
Would be a world first!.
Not always about top speed Kev. Sometimes it's how you get there. I built a losi mini b that runs a 3s castle system. Wheelie machine so much fun.
It’s all about fun, whatever way puts the biggest smile on your face
@@KevinTalbotTV joy
Hi Kevin just want to say love your vids🎉❤🎉
man you got all the free pieces put them all on and make it a real monster knowing its reinforced all over.
I love your rc car
Allahumma Solli 'Ala Saiyyina Muhammad Wa 'Ala Ali Saiyyina Muhammad
Before even seeing you run this, I’d buy a full M2C XRT in a RTR or even slider in a heartbeat. 👍🏼
Quality and respect!😎🛻
Man Kevin, I would love to own that awesomely put together XRT. You have done some heavy duty work to that RC Car. Bad Ass car.
Hey Kev, honestly I love watching your vids.
I would love to see you modify an old school Tamiya frog, hotshot or even the Road Wizard to be a beast.
Been running Tamiya since the 80's, and I wish we had some love for the classics.
Awesome bash! always a great time with great friends!!! Nobody does it quite like you brother!!!!! Thanks for punishing the parts!!!!
Rc impian yang akan selamanya akan menjadi impian,😊😊
I really enjoyed the whole gang going at it on location. Looked really cool everyone hooning.
Glad to see all the available heavy duty things now a days 😀👍
Kev puts the worlds largest motor in a car. 10m later: “wow that’s lively”. Like he’s surprised.
Best rc Videos ever😊 love All of Him.
Love the videos,inspires me, and very entertaining
Kev I've got a video idea
You should try to make the world best 1/10 scale street drift RC!
Max is realy nible on his feets ain't he😂 he is always on the ground😂😂😂 great content! Just like your oldskool vids! Love it❤
Try fitting a front wing on the car for speed runs, might help hold the front end down.
No I think it's mostly the inertia of the ballooning tires .. he should try speed running again with the belted slicks
Sure shortening the suspension in the front and stiffening the rear also helps. Keep it at an angle (nose down)
Put some Wight in the front to prevent it at least a bit from wheelie and then do a speed test and put to engines on it for front and back separate so you skip the axel in the middle plus more Wights added with a extra engine 😅🎉
thats awesome rc car i like it
Raise the rear/lower the front of the XRT, this will allow you to hit faster speeds without liftoff
Here in Michigan that field would be FULL of ticks!! 🤯
I love you kev ❤
And Kevin. Gust what. No more Traxxas Erevo 2.0VXL. They just discontinued it 3 weeks ago, Replaced by Traxxas sledge. Traxxas sledge taking over. There’s a new sheriff in town
Never had A RC That big would be awesome love all the video
Man with those upgrades it’s like winning two cars.
😊 Bonjour Kevin mets un aileron à l'avant le même que celui de l'arrière tu verras à grande vitesse ça fait la différence elle sera plaquer au sol la voiture force à toi😊❤❤❤
YESS. My son & I have been waiting for more XRT videos. To the Moon!!
Welcome back, this isn’t your first time to this channel ❤
The power in that thing is amazing👍🏽👍🏽
There are better options out there than the traxxas servo adapter use the gpm one and the servo horn that uses the existing bearing for added support and less stress on the plastics.
Bought one of the XRT in blue last saturday. What a fun car.
Loved it. For watching Your videos Kevin talbot. But am a indian i should could not to be able to buy this rc's but. I love by watching your videos my happiness is yours 😊
