I still dont know why he isnt even at 2mil he is the best RC youtube i have ever watched he reviews things frankly and really really tests the durability they should make a level of durability called ‘Kev proof’ 😂😂
A 700 series RC Helo is fast as F.... So fast. Can change direction in a blink.. milliseconds... Dragonfly still faster. Lil faster., Unlike a butterfly or a moth..Bird..., ect... a Dragonfly... they can get out of the way. Like a Bat can. Fly circles around a 700.
Slow throttle response is due to “soft start” a feature of the esc. The rotor will spool up slowly until it reaches flying rpm. After that throttle response will be normal. I like using it🤙🏼
@@Gggggghhvvbbb the power delay on start up is what Kev was referring to "gotta wait 10s before the rotor starts to spool up", hence the comment on soft start!! The latter part of the video where he asks if anyone has any ideas on how to stop the violent jump between flight modes is what I believe you're referring to!? That can only be negated by adjusting the throttle curves to have less of a gap or difference but as nearly all Idle up curves are either horizontal or a slight 'v' there will always be a bit of a 'jump' from normal to idle up 1/2! :-)
RC master, doesn't matter whats connected to the transmitter.. he'll fly it, drive it, float it and sometimes crash it lol. Kevin, you got some serious skill mate!
There are different values you can set for the ESC so it spools up faster or slower. Its a safety feature so you dont accidently bump the "Throttle Hold" switch while you are on the bench working on the heli.
I am digging this helikopter. But crash with something as expensive like that would made me depressed. It oozes quality. I like that you make helikopter videoes to from time to time. 👍
That is not normal soft start behavior. It should immediately start the soft start process once throttle hold is flipped. It's a calibration issue within the Ikon2, I had the same issue with mine.
Oh that sound is amazing! I’ve seen some videos of these stunt pilots of these, and man, they were doing the craziest shit I’ve ever seen! And at night t boot. It had lights, but it was truly amazing.
Love the fact that you presolder the leed's before soldering them on!!! Too many don't i think!!! Nice that you show the right way to do it! Have the same experience with the conectors too btw!
Kevin, rethink the LiPo Mount. Those sticky pads are good, but they're not ideal. I've ejected LiPos on my Kraken 580 because they gave way. You're much better off using industry strength velcro from Halfords etc.
@@KyzerGB it was more an example of how he wouldn't feel the fear we would, ive come away from tiny 6 channel heli's shaking hahah with that bird i think id have a heart attack
Kev, you saying "hope we don't break it?" is like a bear saying "I don't think I'll go to the toilet in the woods today!" 😂 Mate, you break rc cars on a daily basis, let alone a flying machine whizzing around the sky! Very pleased to see you didn't though, not like it's poor little brother you whumphed into the ground! 😎
Sab does make great machines no doubt. But honestly it just comes down to you and your ability. One heli isn't necessarily better than the other at this level.
Pretty impressive stuff remember my neighbour having one when I was young and he totally stacked it and it was all bent, just didn’t realise what you can do with them. Cheers Kev
Absolutely in Awe you can fly a proper RC Heli Kevin. Best I can do at length is a 4 channel fixed pitch. Tried multiple times..(And I'm a flier of 27+years) I'll hover... but I over correct... that was 10 years ago... I'm sure the hardware is "friendlier" now hate watching a nitro heli beat itself to death on the ground... plus you gotta take cover hahahaha "What Happened!!!) Seb make works of ART. Not kidding that beast is Gorgeous!! Also take notice your attention to detail is amazing on these Helis... Awesome work mate... The flying is 10 levels above fixed wing, normal aircraft. Huge Thank You for this vid....
Just got mine today March 27th. Good vid for me since I have the exact same heli and the DX8 G2. Also have the 380 buddy, SAB for me all the way. Good flying, I'm not that good but having a blast.
Another useful tool to get would be some flush cut cutters, which would stop that nasty, finger slicing excess sticking out of the ty-wraps or a Ty-wrap gun which tightens to the correct tension for the size of tie and cuts the end off clean!?
The 10 sec spool is the esc doing a calibration test because you most likely have the ESC governor set to “gov store” mode instead of Linear mode. Must be in linear mode when using ikon governor.
Kev, to slow down the stunt mode throttle rpm increase: Advanced menu>throttle and gov>governor spoolup>ramp up. Adjust this value to get what you want. This is of course if using the ikon2 gov. Hobbywing gov has a similar setting using the program box. Also you can see volts, mah used and rpm plus anything on the tx screen plus have the ability to adjust anything on the ikon2 from your tx too. Just see the instructions for telemetry and integration in the software under,manuals section.
Once you have the tail push rod figured out, please use jb weld so it does not break loose.. You have slow start spool up on. Change the start up speed to 3 in the esc
That sound of the rotary blades is just👌
@@dean8367 😂😂😂
I agreat I'm 7 by the way boss
Man that thing is sick, I'd never believed a heli can move like that
That is a stunt heli
Type in 3d rc helicopter flying. There should be a red one that looks like Kevin that is up side down. Watch that. That one is crazy
I must indeed, these are sick stuff. Also Dangerous in Wrong Man Hands. Kevin is one Good Pilot we seen now. He must enjoy alot now

That’s a serious bit of kit!
Here you can see, this man is a MAKER. Flies the king class of rc in its most difficult grade (3D). Most people giving up on learnin to fly rc helis.
Nice brother good
Ok
Soldering iron you can plug into your lipo is epic. Perfect for fixing stuff that's been to the moon
It looks like the little helicopter got a dad nice vid
What is there to dislike about this video why are people disliking 😂 kevs the best

Even more people disliking 😡😡
It's the arrmafanboys

Arrma is the best
This heli is a piece of art!
Hi Kevin I always wait till you post I'm your biggest fan
I like how you made it look like you were doing all the tricks with this helicopter. LOL.
RC master, doesn't matter whats connected to the transmitter.. he'll fly it, drive it, float it and sometimes crash it lol.
Kevin, you got some serious skill mate!
Helicopter stunts are so sick!
The noises from those blades are wicked
Imagine if Kevin was your pilot of your real life helicopter. Tons of fun...….
Im down
Every time I start RUclips, your new video is on top of the list.
World record from Kev, no crash and no game over
That helicoptor flight test was giving me gta broken physics vibes
Hi kev from south afrika
Kev it’s incredible how patient he is putting it all together feel like it would take me 6 months lol
First time I’ve seen one of Kevin’s Videos where he gets his hands on controls but without *crash go boom boom*
Lol
5:25 sounds like the THX intro
The 10 seconds is for you to get away from the blades to a safe distance when you start flying, bud!
Really?
@@zakkupfer1390 yes
@@zakkupfer1390 maybe
No it's not. It's improper gov spool up settings not set correctly. Where do you get this nonsense?
There are different values you can set for the ESC so it spools up faster or slower. Its a safety feature so you dont accidently bump the "Throttle Hold" switch while you are on the bench working on the heli.
Wow....you are a pro flying the copter....awsome manuvers!!!
Maybe the 10 second delay for it to spool up is a safety feature in case you hit the throttle stick by accident?
I can only just about control an RC car, can only dream of being able to confidently fly a Heli!
I am digging this helikopter. But crash with something as expensive like that would made me depressed. It oozes quality. I like that you make helikopter videoes to from time to time. 👍
It's like a giant dragonfly with the way it looks flying around all over the place.
Awesome. Now I want a heli on top of my rc trucks.!!
kevin you have got me and my dad back into this hobby thank you!
Wow!!
I love helis, but I can't be done with all that faffing around, although I know many that find this the most enjoyable part.
Dude the sound coming from that thing IS ABSOLUTELY EPIC!
Kev's back for reals, and got a real soldering iron aswell now, not that old big hammar
to be fair, that cheap iron can be as powerful as an expensive one but you don't have temp control and it doesn't last very long.
The delay of the blades spooling up is called "soft start"
That is not normal soft start behavior. It should immediately start the soft start process once throttle hold is flipped. It's a calibration issue within the Ikon2, I had the same issue with mine.
@@RemedyTalon interesting, I didn't really analyze the start time, just seemed to be soft start. Did you eventually iron it out?
sooooooo, soooooooo, close to 1 million subs
sweeet

Kev those satellite receivers are supposed to be spread out and in a certain orientation. That’s why the wires are long.
Out of the way drones. This rules the skies.
WUT??? You were killing it! So sorry I doubted you. Thought I was going to see a up over down rolling crash. Much respect!
You guys should have a competition, where you guys invert the helicopters and see how low you can get to the ground
One of the best rc reviewer and assembler, subscribed !
Loving this Heli content! It's nice to mix up a little from time to time!
1.17 "my god that's tight" I was excepting the "thats what she said" :-) :-) :-)
I think it's awesome your getting Into some heli stuff. If just one new pilot starts flying it would be worth it!
Never seen anything fly like that,well maybe a real dragonfly,awesome!
Kevin your videos on RUclips it’s really good when u make RC videos Kevin
So epic🤩
I feel nostalgic a rc helicopter the same size I strap my phone on to was my first drone god I miss the olden days.
Can’t wait for the kraken 580
You defnetly need a vbar Control Touch and a neo! With that you can do all the Setup via your Transmitter on the field and easily Share helis
Kevin, rethink the LiPo Mount. Those sticky pads are good, but they're not ideal. I've ejected LiPos on my Kraken 580 because they gave way. You're much better off using industry strength velcro from Halfords etc.
hey kev if the head speed jumping is kicking the tail out just use the revo mix. or calibrate the esc to give slow start
That thing just sounds epic and fearful of how much money is up there and can come down with a quick wallet empty
Have you seen Kevs Lambo? A couple of grand is nothing to him anymore... he wouldn't experience the same fear/rush that we would
@@stu1987eng yeah I've seen his Lambo. Been following him for a while. 😉
@@KyzerGB it was more an example of how he wouldn't feel the fear we would, ive come away from tiny 6 channel heli's shaking hahah with that bird i think id have a heart attack
As a pilot hearing "boom" I was SCREAMING EMPANAGE!!
I love all things RC but those collective pitch heli's absolutely terrify me. The violence with which they change direction is incredible.
I believe the the Slow Throttle response thing is a safety Feature to stop you Accidentally full throttling it while your doing things with it.
But it’s not safe if it kicks on 10 sec later that’s a death trap
Kev, you saying "hope we don't break it?" is like a bear saying "I don't think I'll go to the toilet in the woods today!" 😂 Mate, you break rc cars on a daily basis, let alone a flying machine whizzing around the sky!

Hey but you be right though
Never seen someone fly a heli like that! I thought it was hilarious that you fly it like that rather than just normally like I though 😂
Eu sou do brasil e adoro seu videos sao muito bons
1mill and kev cuts his hair with his helicopter!!!
SAB helis are on another level compared to Trex, someday i dream of getting one but are still very expensive , even the smallest ones.
Sab does make great machines no doubt. But honestly it just comes down to you and your ability. One heli isn't necessarily better than the other at this level.
Pretty impressive stuff remember my neighbour having one when I was young and he totally stacked it and it was all bent, just didn’t realise what you can do with them. Cheers Kev
The good thing is that you didn't ruin the warranty with the battery connectors lol

This helicopter looks like it is having a seizure every time u take it off🤣🤣
Luv the vids kev

Hey Kev can you make a HUGE ramp and go full send on the big 2 stroke rc car? That would be a cool video.
Is no one gonna mention the fnaf music at the start
That background music is the same as the whiskey vaults for titans of whiskey lol
YOUR CRACKED MAN!! i wish i could fly like that
I have the orange colored Kraken 700. I like the yellow one. Might have to get it.
I’m not into helicopter but I like this video keep up the good work
I like this helo, but in order for me to fly I would need a full class room setting for about 2 weeks and one week of hands on instruction lol.
I love the sounds of helikopter's blades🤩 😀
I was sitting on RUclips earlier and I said to my self come on Kev upload and I said as well I would be so sad if you stopped uploading
Nice name
I'm just wondering how the hell stunt helicopters can fly at any angle and direction. Like what are the physics behind it?
Helicopter Helicopter
So I must say Kev has teached me alot of RC cars and hellicopters so thanks Kev.
