100mph on grass rc car challenge

[@thatsgottahurt]

Between the 100MPH offroad and 200MPH onroad cars youve been building plus the Monster Truck videos, this channel has been super exciting lately. Cant wait to see whats next.

[@KevinTalbotTV]

Thank you!

[@Munenvrac]

Si j'avais à fabriquer une machine off road rapide, je partirais sur le X-Maxx en abaissant la suspension. Le besoin de puissance est plus grand mais: Grand diamètre de roue => Moins de RPM, donc moins de déchirure. Grand débattement de suspension => Meilleure absorbsion des aspérités du terrain, donc plus stable. Au besoin, tu sais allonger le châssis (tu l'as démontré) pour améliorer encore la stabilité. Durcir les diff pour limiter les pertes de motricité et réduire le dual rate pour faciliter le pilotage. J'adore tes vidéos Kev! 👌

[@robr3]

Lock front and rear differentials to stop diffing out when tires leave the ground. Off-road surface may be the cause of the tire carnage. Love the videos!!

[@muskokamike127]

Another piece of advice: when you're doing high speed runs reduce your steering throw. If you look at top AA fuel dragsters they only have about 10 deg of lock to lock.

[@Emtbtoday]

Same with the racing bike's they have an electronic hydraulic system attached to the bars makes steering stiffer when at high speed! That's how older cars were much better back in the day with heavier steering! My cozzie was a car that certainly befited from it!

[@erikastarling]

True dat but what if u r going 100mph and u suddenly see a tree? Cant brake fast enough so u gotta turn sharply to the side.

[@1216jimmyz]

@@erikastarling and turning shark at that speed will end in an even worse disaster.

[@fiwarelli]

That's a good tip my dude!

[@scotthook3433]

In the UK normally called steering rate

[@kings17court]

I respect and appreciate the work, time, and backyard engineering that this guys puts into his videos and projects.

[@RCHut]

I was waiting for this video ✌🏻

[@ARreacts4584]

hey Kevin I'm ur big fan. im really enjoying ur videos. love u man.😆

[@billy3650]

I like this. challenge, its different then what other channels are doing. Hope you get to that 100mph on grass. Grass makes it so unique, best I've seen in awhile.

[@BorosTheGamer]

im so glad i found your channel, i have been enjoying pretty much everything that you have been posting.

[@KangoV]

88 mph! I was expecting lots of Back To The Future jokes!! Excellent video!

[@88davidw]

Awesome video as always. I was thinking it might be worth running some very thick diff oil to reduce the risk of the unloaded wheel ballooning up and destroying the tyre. Also maybe thicker centre diff oil to reduce the front wheels spinning up, it could make the car pull wheelies easier though.

[@dieselman86]

Does my heart good to see you posting these Kev. Love the vids!

[@ThatRCGuy1]

Always get excited when kev uploads

[@gangstapat7896]

Ikr me too

[@MatthewSimm]

I'm trying this too kev and yeah, tires are going to be a problem haha 😄

[@avengersracing]

That was insane man😂😂😂😝

[@BerzerkMaggot777]

Kev!! Thats one of my favorite builds so far, it looks so cool man!!

[@CoolnCasual57]

Kev, yesterday I broke my collarbone, and this is really soothing to watch. It calmed me down, I was getting super pale, and I appreciate your work man. Thanks Kev.😘🥰❤

[@KevinTalbotTV]

Get well soon bro

[@CoolnCasual57]

Thanks man❤

[@FarmerFpv]

I freaking love Kevin! His videos give me my RC dopamine fix every day! Hey buddy, you should try the Proline badlands MX.28 Belted tires. They are bigger so you won't need as much wheel speed and they don't balloon. Rich Duperdash also uses them on his Typhon. I have yet to have one balloon or come unglued. You will love them. But you will need to buy the Aluminum 17mm hex adapters. Stay awesome Kevin. You're looking good. Looking a lot younger these days.

[@joegatehouse5939]

Love these vids kev

[@Blast215RC]

Absolutely epic speed buggy build. 🤘🔥✔️

[@jameswaldron9280]

What makes Kev so relatable is the fact that he’s a man child, and that’s a good thing

[@Greg....]

100mph on grass is achievable. My traxxas maxx on 6s tops out at 90mph or 146kmh depending on what you understand. So its deffinately far from stock. Ive exploded non belted tyres before, never had an issue with belted beadlocks though. I use louse brand wheels and tyres, theyre called something else in parts of the world that arent australia.

[@marcbusby3625]

Duratrax anywhere that's not down under

[@cindyshields5753]

Yeah I suggest kev needs to run beadlocks 100%

[@astroby860]

I love your vids man they make me happy and gives me a laugh

[@sammylisasmith2104]

Kevin your videos don't make me want to be the fastest just make my Rc better thanks for the videos

[@knuffelbeer93]

That RKO and front flip brake check at 4:30 was epic!!!

[@LeleganceCoral]

Kev: “now we’re going to make the pinion gear a little bigger.” Also Kev: puts a spur gear on

[@zippycfpv3619]

I didn’t even know they made pinion gears that huge!!! Lol

[@rctezluh42069]

The Lunatic Is On The Grass, Upvoted!!!!!

[@crazycat7760]

Hi Kev. Something to try when you belt your own tires is to use braided fishing line, it should be stronger (higher the kg/lbs test the stronger) and the braid makes it so it should absorb some of the glue so hopefully it’s not a full day endeavor

[@WolverineRC]

Keep it coming kev. Lovin it brother.

[@AJ_RCS]

Awesome video Kev, keep it up

[@Surron_hi]

Kev love your vids

[@nicksullivan2212]

Bit of advice Kev just do what you do I love the videos hope you get your 101 mph on grass 👍👍👊🏻

[@badazzzz31]

The drag race was hilarious I love it

[@shawnstates7003]

Hi I just want to say that I love your videos. I think you should do a World record jump and it put in a book Like Ripley's believe it or not you Deserve the recognition for all your hard work thanks for all the great videos keep it up

[@TheRCScotsman]

Seems to be a much bigger hurdle than it initially seems. Keep at it!

[@BrianRamseysg01]

But Kev Wimboldon is ova oh no tennis 120+ on grass and as the man said 10 deg of lock... avoid that Aggghhh! Fun Video!!

[@ToyotaCruiser80]

Big fan of your channel Kev

I guess Claire wasn't so hungry. Hahaha. Lol🤪🤪🤪🥳

[@lifeofdave1237]

Thought you were gonna smash it, but alas twasnt t b. Great run tho 😁👍 and look forward to seeing the longboard flying soon 👍

[@MangoJim90]

4:46 nice moment 👍🙌

[@Slikx666]

Kevin. A thought that may or may not work and may not exist. What if you fitted solid tyres? My thinking is if you could have the wheel and tyre made from one piece of aluminium (other materials may be better) then you wouldn't have any ballooning, you could just have very a very aggressive tread but your suspension would be doing ALL the work of taking the bumps. Given I have no idea about the next video and you may want to go faster anyway, I thought I'd just say in case it's useful. Also. Thanks for being there for us 😀 and we're always here for you. 😃👍

[@HaynesJP]

Looks absolutely epic with the Tomahawks!!!

[@kostyamaslov5309]

Bigger wheels Kev!! 😎

[@muskokamike127]

Yeah, that means they'll be spinning less (due to larger circumference) but travelling further. But as long as he's doing more than 1 run per set, he'll always have issues. Even Bugatti only does 1 speed run per set.

[@timjoyce69]

Dude, KEEP GOING…. Luvin’ it, ya need either smoother grass or more ground clearance and suspension travel, but still be awear of aero rake, you have a rear wing but the body doesn’t give enough downforce on the front end….👍

[@aliCsto]

consistently great content!

[@duranryan967]

I’m so glad I stumbled across your channel! Makes me really want to get back into the hobby and I want to get my 5 year old son into it. TO BAD EVERYTHING IS GOING UP IN PRICE!!!

[@shawnjohnson2837]

You the best Kev

[@DadsRCHangar]

Crazy those Tyers still ballooned and died. Still great thou 👍🏻

[@joshrowen5058]

What’s a good battery to use for Traxxas Maxx. My Traxxas 5000 just capped out on me. 3 time these have done it. The first 2 were my fault but this last one I drained and had it unplugged but still crapped out

[@MTBer193]

I just watched one of your earlier videos, i dont know if you remember this but you can put wire and tape inside the rim to stop it from balloning, also, when are you gonna rescue the boat from the lake with the underwater drone???

[@ajr5195]

Use braided fishing line around the exterior of the tires between the tread blocks to prevent the ballooning. Worth a try for a cheap price of entry

[@kelleycook4753]

i had no problem hauling arse in the grass with race truggy tires on my maxx v2, (response pros) side wall isnt as tall, less ballooning, might want to try 1/8 buggy race ones. but the grass here is on top of hard arse dirt at the moment in Texas.

[@Reza_Rahbarazad]

Hi Kevin, thanks for your videos brother Please get the Traxxes Hauler and tested Thanks again ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@rotten2209]

Would bigger tires help? I belted some Stampede tires and put them on my old slash with 2200kv on 8s and it definitely woke it up on the grass. It does get hot quicker but if you are going for speed runs rather than an actual bash session it should be fine for a few passes. I'm not trying break any records but 87mph is my best on a 16yr old "backslash" off road and 123mph on the street.

[@gboulter]

Center diff or spool. Over speeding the front tyres?.

[@jackking3832]

Don’t the arrma talion tyres come belted? They might help with the ballooning?

[@dmac4232]

Hi from Australia Kev! 🇦🇺

[@adampsrcs3487]

I'm up for trying this.got couple things I think will make a ton on grass.game on 👍

[@youngsjoshua]

Your going to need a center spool to keep the front and rear tires at the same speed.

[@muskokamike127]

Yeah, you can see the traction bias by the wheelies. If anything it should be biased towards the front axles. If there's a centre diff, soon as the front looses traction all the power is delivered to the rear.

[@youngsjoshua]

@@muskokamike127 it's actually the opposite. When the front tires unload all the power will go to the tire with the least resistance. Spooling the front, center, and rear will eliminate that power transfer. Problem is it will start breaking shafts when the tire comes back in to high grip at full power.

[@josephglazier3286]

Spools, and Maxx belted tires.

[@lvhle04]

@@muskokamike127 if it has centre differential, as soon as the front tires lift up, the rear is getting no power but the front tires will go to the moon

[@zippycfpv3619]

Muskogean mike, if a differential unloads, and spins a wheel, it’s not applying power to a loaded wheel with traction. This applies to a center diff as well. If the front tires get lifted and are getting no traction, they spin and the energy follows the path of least resistance, thus the expansion of the front tires and structural failure at extreme rpm.

[@noobataiming]

nice i think u should wrap fishing line around the tire like in the grooves so it doesnt shred apart

[@PierreGHedgehog]

tomahawk tires lookin absolutely epic

[@soheilesy5243]

Missed your Old videos!

[@TheGymTwins1]

Iam Trying to Become just like you Kevin you Inspired me A lot Thanks You👈

[@Russell_Hofner]

An idea for the 200mph car Use four Motors two for each axle and increase the wheel base for more room for electronics and get a sheet of Lexan put it on diagonally leaning towards the front (so it doesn’t do a back flip) and put lexan on the sides but make them higher than the top lexan or use carbon fiber. And also love your channel hope to see more off-road with Andy the landy!

[@user-TJ365]

Spiderwire braided fishing line works well. It’s a pain to tie, but holds up well. 88mph!!! Just need a flux capacitor now.

[@Gavs_rc_hobbies]

Gonna send it to the mooooooon!! 🤣💪🏻👍🏻

[@allyoucando8486]

Know back to the projects again 👍

[@JollyPirateAhoy]

What are good shocks that I can replace my stock ones in my arrma typhon since the stock ones exploded on me? I know I'll never get a answer but worth the try. (I've asked several times)

[@radbot1]

I don't understand the motor kV rating. I know what it means and the formula is straight forward to understand. But surely there are so many more variables to consider, like weight, aerodynamic drag, drive train friction and all kinds of things. How can they say this motor will spin this fast at a given voltage? Do they mean when it's not loaded (just spinning in air) or is it based on "typical" scenarios?

[@gangstapat7896]

Think you should put some better suspention on it (more ride height and softer shocks) Also maybe some small spikes on the tires helps with grip

[@doorfgames8673]

Ya

[@muskokamike127]

The problem with ride height is you get too much air under the vehicle which means it will go airborne easily. remember: if that's a 1/10th scale vehicle he's trying to do 1000 mph scale. Real full sized vehicles haven't done that on the salt flats.
