Yeah, I love the videos with Stempy in them. IDK if it'd be a good idea but I can't help to wonder, well the title of the video would be "Stempy drives Game Over Monster Truck"! 🤔🤔🤔
1) keep the nose down with the aluminum trim tabs on the sides. Bend them down a touch at a time until you find the sweet spot 2) steering: I dunno, it seemed to turn on a dime when you were going at a REASONABLE speed. the longer the boat, the larger the turning radius.....and yes, you have to slow down to turn.....but you could put on a bigger rudder if you want to turn sharper.....also, what's the torque on the steering servo? If you're ripping at full throttle the pressure on the rudder is immense. You could be stalling the servo.
@@KevinTalbotTV No prob, I'd first look at the servo and if that is high torque, make yourself a larger rudder. You have a bunch of lexan around the shop. 1/8" or 3/32" cut it into the shape of a guitar pick about the height of the existing one and maybe 2" long, and crazy glue it on. (or rivet it). You could bevel the front and rear edges to reduce drag.
Absolutely not! Bending the trim tabs down will improve low speed only! They are best used for fine trimming in conjunction with the prop angle which is solely responsible for the thrust angle and should be adjusted to suit the weight of the battery the water conditions and prop type! My boats were significantly faster than this 20 years ago!
Probably not a bad idea but I'd try to set the prop lower as dropping trim tabs will lift the stern and reduce stability! Better off keeping them parallel with the hull or trimmed up a few degrees just above I've found.
A quick adjustment to prevent hooking on the turn is rudder adjustment, pull it rearward at the bottom so it pushes water up off the rudder and prevents the rear lifting and nose diving when tuning and causing what is essentially over steering.
Man it seems you all had a blast! Jason never shows any emotion. Redfin Models is just a cover up for being the biggest baddest undercover Rambo dude out there! Lol! If Stemp got him wet...then he better sleep with on eye open! Hahaha!
I can't believe those boats can even stay on anything but glass water at those speeds. I don't know squat about boats, so it's amazing to me. Looks like fun!
Kev, I want to see you fly RC Planes in a video. Please do a video flying. Get a 90m EDF jet from Motion RC and modify it to see how fast you can get it to go. Also, put an EDF on the Losi Promoto and send it. lol. I love it when you post new videos. The best channel on RUclips.
I just love how y’all have so much fun, bet I’d love to be able to hang with you guys either with the boats or bashing trucks. So much enjoyment with all of you.😂😅
I've had a Sonicwake 6s boat for over 2 years, it self-rights and absolutely never has sunk, haha, not even close. I bet the traxxas is fine as well. After having the sonicwake I dislike boats that dont have self-righting. Run-time of mine is insane, Prolly 60 or 70 packs through it, takes on very tiny amounts of water. What all boats do suffer from though is electronics heating up. Upgrade ESC's and all bullet connectors to make it so you can go wide open throttle from start to finish.
Kev you gotta mess with the trim tabs on both sides of the prop to get it to stay on the water. If you bend them down just a little it’ll create just enough drag to keep the front end on the water. As far as steering you need to drive it like an RC car and let off the throttle to steer instead of yanking it at full speed.
Hey Kev! The newest version Xmaxx is technically v5. A lot are calling it v6 but the 5th Xmaxx to come out was the ultimate. Most don’t consider a limited production run to be a version, so it’s v5.
To get it handling better you need to adjust the trim tabs. The angle is wrong which is why it is porpoising on throttle and doing backflips. Moving the batteries forward was a good move but ultimately you need to adjust the trim so it carves more and bounces less.
It would steer better if the rudder were directly behind the prop. Having it off to the side like that means it’s not redirecting the prop’s flow, but rather that of the relatively still water to the side. Having it off to the side likely also means that it steers better in one direction than the other.
It is so important to remove and grease the prop shaft on all boats every few runs or they won't last long but no one ever shows it Im still waiting for one of those rubber boats to get popped . With the kids around I would run the boats with out the turn fins on, then you would see some carnage ! Keep those batteries forward boy's. Cheers from New Zealand.
Love traxxas definitely fun for the summer and taking out to play with personally I’m not a rc boat person but the traxxas boat is really fun if your going to a river
Will you update us on the monster truck? I was at the nationals and really looking forward to seeing you go over that bus! I was so gutted for you! The truck looks *amazing*.
Nice boat trip Kev. It's always good to see Stempy again.....and the rest of the crew now I think about it. That Traxxas boat is fast, but the way it always lifts off seems to defeat the purpose of it a tad.
Kev read this to know the steering answer: well I don't think there is a way to adjust the steering unless you take away the self righting due to weight of water and move the servo and prop to the center of the back of the boat or maybe keep self but move prop and steering to center back of boat but might break it. But If you want the center out the steering you have to take away the self-writing. Luckily there is a Traxxas Spartan without self righting That's $350 I think
Quite incredible how far we came when I look at my collection of early 2000s boats with brushed engines and heavy 7.2 volt NiMH batterypacks. Even my two "racingboats", that were build to race from hull to prop would be no match at all for modern RTR big company beginner boats.
@@KevinTalbotTV Someone please sponsor him to have his own show….. even an end of video segment on your videos would put such a spin on your content mate. 👌🏾 Something like…. Stempys r.c do’s and dont’s 🔥🔥🔥
There could be a few reasons why it’s not turning properly, it could either be just where the rudder is positioned or when it gets up on the power its not in the water much, it’s also trying to fight the prop blast as well, it could also be the hull design My family races circuit boats so I’ve grown up around racing boats Hope this helps man
Kev, it looks like the rates are WAY too high. I have a mono and a cat, and they both steer differently. The cat can have full throw because it rides on top of the water. Mono will bite in and flip. Like what you had happening. Start high rates and slowly decrease until you hit that sweet spot. And yes, that's what she said 🤘

STEMPY!!!!!!!! Welcome back mate.!!!
He needs his own damn channel 😂😂😂
Waffle waffle waffle
yes
🤣🤣🤣
Everybody having a good time laughing, it’s nice to see
Only way to live !!
indeed; beautiful day; everyone with a beatiful attitude.
If this is your first Kev and stempy boat video you need to look through the channel for the rest of them. They are hilarious 😂
Especially that one where the boat sinks! 😂😂 One of my favorite, right up there with the one where Max flips that boat into the wall and it explodes 😂
Yeah, I love the videos with Stempy in them. IDK if it'd be a good idea but I can't help to wonder, well the title of the video would be "Stempy drives Game Over Monster Truck"! 🤔🤔🤔
With Stempy it's a lot of FUN!!! 😂😃😆
Thanks for that Video 🙏
It's nice to see everyone laughing! 👏😂😂
“I found some grease for your shaft” he getting to that age u gotta watch him 😂 lol that’s made me crack up
Stempy! My son loves him!!

@@cd-pu5uvyes you are correct the first commenters opinion will break many traxas margarine tubs!
Brilliant video it looked a right laugh.... Love max and Stemp 😂
Love a Stempy vid! You two have that 'old friends' banter!
Need to adjust the trim tabs to keep the nose down

Get a metal propeller and make it sharp so it cuts through stuff so it doesn’t get tangled up like last time and it will be stronger
My god man! Stemp and Mad Max on the same video?
Edit: After watching I'm completely jealous. What a great day and area for that. Awesome vid Kev!

Great to see you guys having fun, the kid's were the most grown-up 😂
It was a great day on the water. Only thing missing was Claire and Ian.
Wow awesome video my friend,, and cool rc boat 👍👍💯
do they make hydrofoil fins for rc boats? They help keep the bow down
If you connect your boat to the Traxxas app, you can turn up the steering by getting a Bluetooth thing for your controller
I just love this guy's videos. Friends just out having fun with toys haha
Stempy must be single again if hes showed up in a video 😂
I can't believe those boats can even stay on anything but glass water at those speeds. I don't know squat about boats, so it's amazing to me. Looks like fun!
10:13 life flashed before your eyes mate lol 😂😅
I've always had this question: do you borrow the models from redfin or buy them?

Epic video my friend!! What fun!!!
stemps an absolute legend so nice to see him!!!

The poop transition at 6:29 killed me
Kev you got the plane on that boat set too high. Stemp sinking boats... Not this old chesnut.😅😂 Looks like an RC party!
Can you buy the old wolwagen beetle from banggood special?
we love kev 👍👍
Keep up with the old style intros I love them!
Hey Kev! The newest version Xmaxx is technically v5. A lot are calling it v6 but the 5th Xmaxx to come out was the ultimate. Most don’t consider a limited production run to be a version, so it’s v5.
Seems like a lot of fun, haven't had an rc boat before, but now I'm thinking about it. 😊
Hey Kevin, sure love your channel. What a great video. Have a wonderful day, buddy. Love to see all your content.

Good to see Max there too!
you guys are a riot to hang out wit you all for a day would be epic !!!
I bought a FL-012 I think for 100 USD, came with a lipo, it's brushless and goes almost 40mph! Had it for several years and I love it.
Love traxxas definitely fun for the summer and taking out to play with personally I’m not a rc boat person but the traxxas boat is really fun if your going to a river
🎉🎉🎉 wehay stempz is back.
Yeah! Let's see that fms k10 what can do! 3:47
Love to see Stimpy and Max back❤❤
Brilliant video had a proper belly laugh 😂😂😂
Had a blast watching this. Great edit👍
You should bring some waffles for that little girl. I think she really want some
May I suggest some belgium waffles ? 😁
Came here for RC content, and now for the last week I have been researching boats... thanks
Will you update us on the monster truck? I was at the nationals and really looking forward to seeing you go over that bus! I was so gutted for you! The truck looks *amazing*.
My granddad owns Kelpies been in the family for years, can’t believe you’ve been there 😅
the steering could be limited, maybe try to see if you can change how much it moves in the remote or on the servo arm.
kev this would be great for your top speed rc cars
I just got a question do they make long travel suspension for a infraction
Woooow. Redfin still has the og dji mavic pro on shell. 😮😮😮 i want the whole stand so bad
Nice boat trip Kev. It's always good to see Stempy again.....and the rest of the crew now I think about it.
That Traxxas boat is fast, but the way it always lifts off seems to defeat the purpose of it a tad.
always love to watch the way you "tortured" your toys
✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
Kev I haven't watched you in a while do you still have a 24s boat if not you should make one
Rc boats are the best! ❤🎉
1:36 - just stamp on the boat right now. Save time.
Water in the hull is due to the motor cooling jacket, replace it with aftermarket and it will be nice and dry!
💥! BOOOOM

I have one of those it just doesn’t have great steering Im not sure how to make it any better too.
i am a very big fan. ceep it going Kev ; )
Wazz up, yes stemppy* and and possible demo derby dope
Get The FMS and overpower it please Kev😃
The trim tabs need to be adjusted down at the stern. It's a bit over powered, reduce the cell count and the performance will increase.

Bloody send it to the moon mate!!!!!!! 🌙
What is holding that camera on? Dang, good stuff
Whats that inflatable rib that can be folded away and a link to the electric motor please 😊

Buy metal propeler for more strength and POWER. For servo use metal gear 180 degree. I think it will be better.
