Are Nitro RC Cars Still Relevant in 2024?

[@KevinTalbotTV]

Fun day that was thanks for coming over! I love both but a well running nitro is the best thing ever, a bad running one is the worst!!

[@MCsCreations]

Too bad here where I live you just can't get nitro... You'd need to drive around 80km to get some. 😕 And I've seen some bargains around here...

[@mwestie12]

I have to agree with Kevin. I love my electric cars but nothin will ever come close to my hpi nitro Mt2.

[@FarmerFpv]

My long lost British Uncle Kevin, When are you going to come visit us and fish for Aligator gar in Texas? lol.

[@teamnevalus6363]

Yes Kevin, nitro gas with engine in the car ALWAYS!!!💨💨

[@Slikx666]

Kevin, are you sure that your USA1 isn't just using 2nd and 3rd? So for We've all assumed that it's using 1st and 2nd. 🤔

[@FarmerFpv]

Oh dear, a Nitro that runs is the most glorious thing ever. When it runs, lol.

[@Ganiscol]

Well, mine always ran if there was enough fuel in the tank. Never got why others may have such trouble. 😏 Havent fired him up in 12 years and am looking at the bad boy in the garage every time I come in. I bet if the fuel I have left was still good, he'd come alive after no more than 5 pulls! 😅

[@Swiftershock]

@@Ganiscol me too i always liked nitro and i never had any problems with nitro rcs

[@billymanilli]

@@Ganiscol "Never got why others may have such trouble." IMHO, that's because not many people (TRULY) understand how the engines works, AND how to tune and take care of them. Not everyone is mechanically inclined. I own mostly nitro stuff too, and never have much trouble either... Most of the trouble I've had is with my nasty old bag of a neighbor complaining about "the noise"! hehe

[@theNeathBoy]

A lot of people don’t have the time or ability to understand engines. I love the drama and theatre of an engine making a racket and belching out smoke. Yes, it’s not as simple a charge-n-go, nor are they as fast. But I enjoy potching and tuning and arsing about with all things engineering. But I get some people just want to get on out and use the car and not mess about.

[@corb765]

Nitro is way more fun, but electric is good for people with little technical ability, like yourself

[@RizwanGnag]

hey so glad to see you at Kevin's workshop! You both are legends and have become a part of our lives! Love & Respect from India, Mumbai

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks dude. Appreciate it

[@clintlasher8436]

Love seeing you guys making videos together. I remember the days of the weird beef between you two

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, crazy to think. We get on really well now 😅

[@wakkogn9351]

Sometimes the people that we once dated become good friends after the weirdness goes away. Case in point!

[@matthutch5919]

I think that was all over rost pork 😂

[@mankind8088]

BRING BACK THE BEEF 😭😂😭😂😂😭😂😭

[@AussieRCTV]

I love it when you guys make videos together almost like 2 great creators makes 2 times better videos. Great job 👍

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks Ben. It was a good day

[@TpPartsRcXtreme]

Loved this video 🤗, good to see ya both in the same one🎉

[@AussieRCTV]

@@TomleyRC thanks 👍

[@vizionct1]

Damn you 2 definitely need to make more videos together. Enjoyed seeing this banger mate! Keep ‘em coming! Cheers

[@TomleyRC]

Was good day for sure!

[@adamgodfrey3098]

Yes please ,maybe one day u will racing real monster trucks ❤ just saying like 🤣

[@joejohnson1969]

Nice to see you and Kevin Talbot out together. Must say you can not beat the sound of nitro if you can get it going 👍

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, although a nice Petrol/Gas engine can sound even better

[@joejohnson1969]

@TomleyRC l must say l do like the old twin 40s with bells on and a 4 to 1 exhaust over a turbo any day. I totally agree, Tom.👍

[@frankensteinsgarage9632]

Modern brushless rc has definitely made rc more fun for more people and it does have its advantages. One being cleaner. But i could never get rid of my nitro and 2 stroke cars.

[@DoodMang7]

i have never owned a nitro before but thinking about getting a tmaxx 3.3 kit to try one out.. the main thing that has put me off is the noise making it harder to run in certain places

[@kevin20843]

​@@DoodMang7I have found not many people have a issue. I have a lot of people saying how cool my nitro is and asking questions about cost and speed

[@SuperSavage35]

Only issue I've got with Nitro is the price of the fuel which is why I'd take Large scale petrol over both electric and Nitro. However there is something deeply satisfying with a well running Nitro.

[@vipervidsgamingplus5723]

If it were cheaper to run, I'd have a nitro myself.

[@but531]

It's different when you play together with other people instead play alone. Very nice and fun video.

[@ChrisPrice-z2t]

Glad to see you guys making videos together

[@edenisburning]

You and Kev have a really awesome dynamic. It's natural, which makes it even better. You seem so different, yet the same. It's great.

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude, appreciate it

[@mattster197]

I have the Kyosho FOXX which is the same Nitro basically as that one. I love it. I also use electric cars and trucks but there is something about the nitro that makes me happy.

[@theRCcarshow]

love to watch nitro rc car run. the speed is amazing

[@Reddog08]

It's just good to see yall having fun.

[@allanwenzke749]

Good to see you two together!

[@allicesmashes]

lol you lot are nuts, do love these team ups you guys are doing! Full love from the rc community 😊

[@TomleyRC]

Haha, cheers dude

[@joshuacarter2928]

I love when you guys collab. My favorite videos of you too. Enjoyed the races soooo much.

[@Buchta179]

Its cool seeing Kev and Tom making videos together

[@chrisprice6405]

Needs a kev ❤Phil windscreen sticker on it!

[@TomleyRC]

Good idea!

[@ITman3Dmain]

Great to see you guys 🔥🔥🔥

[@allaniman8829]

I'm a subscriber on both of your channels. So happy to see you both having fun together. Cheers!!!!!

[@jamesrostie4784]

I love seeing KZbinrs collaborating good job guys !

[@OGRCFanatic]

This was an awesome video. You two are the best and seem to have a lot of fun together. Keep doing more videos together! This was great! 😂

[@simplegr33n420]

This collab was absolutely epic! Warms my heart to see this after the minor beef a couple years back

[@Pablo668]

That was a fun vid. You and Kev are fun to watch together, constant ribbing. It's a bit like two brothers in the back of the family car on a really long road trip. Also, I do have to give nitro a go one day.

[@TomleyRC]

Haha.. and that’s just the stuff that’s safe to post 😅

[@jblox1990]

Electric- Convenience and performance. Nitro- Awesome and a hobby. Can't beat the run time, either.

[@ijjvw5933]

Perfect review...that's all we needed to hear😂😂🍻👊

[@nolascosoriano3863]

good to see you both in a video😊

[@davidrivero7943]

Nothing wrong with Nitros. Back in the days dragging Boat , equipt box / stand ,fuel , plugs and a full sized car battery 100 yrds to Lakes shore was a royal pita.

[@101projects2]

Just gone back and rewatched the Tomley Rc v Kevin Talbot video on your second channel, Good to see you guys are both getting along and sharing content (but no holding hands yet😂) along with the recent crossover videos with the wider RC KZbinr community, its a win win for you content makers and us watching👍

[@potatopower4026]

As I said in another comment im glad you guys are getting along it is such a relief. Luv u guys!

[@PhilipBallGarry]

Great to see you guys hooking up 😊. The world suddenly became just a little bit better 😁

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah.. was good fun!

[@kevinnel9275]

Man, I enjoy watching you and Kev colab!!!

[@jah-jah87]

I love your colabs..

[@matthutch5919]

This is sooo long overdue, about time the 2 of you did a video together. Have to agree with Kevin, the smell, noise etc of nitro is the bomb....until they start playing up 😂

[@mikemangiameli561]

I think both are good. I think nitro comes with more tinkering. Electric allows you to play anywhere and any time no noise

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, I agree

[@SharkysGarageRCandMore]

Great video nice comparison. Really enjoying this kind of content

[@khairulmuizrahim8418]

Thats how the old boys have fun!!! Awesome!!

[@bmoresbeast]

I've got to be you guys biggest fan here in the states!! You guys are living my Dream!!!😢 Please keep at it, you give me a reason to get in this wheelchair every day guys

[@Kimari-wz5cq]

i just like the fact that u guys are doing stuff together :) nice to see that

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude

[@johniveson4173]

It's epic seeing u both having run u both got me in to it I love all the videos

[@cliffjones9922]

Great seeing 2 of the best KZbin guys together, looks like you had a blast. Just wish i had somewhere like that Wood/sandy area to run my trucks

[@Cormano980]

The new toyan v8 is more to my alley, less noise and looks incredibly scale, I once played with my buddies with one of these nitro cars and got the forest rangers coming to ask where we're hiding the chainsaws

[@DOBERSTAFFIE]

good to see you guys having fun.

[@ianb.2871]

Just missing the third presenter, followed by someone in a white coat passing the trio an envelope with this week's challenge.

[@keithyp8427]

This is rapidly becoming my favourite channel on YouYube. I'm going to treat myself to an RC car of some description for my Birthday in January. I had a grasshopper as kid, shows my age 🤣. I'm also loving the Christmas advent calendar 👍

[@TomleyRC]

Awesome, pleased you are enjoying the videos. You're probably similar age to most of the viewers and me.... we are all big kids really :)

[@keithyp8427]

Completely agree, just big kids 😂

[@keithyp8427]

@@TomleyRC I’m 45, not sure whether I beat you in age or not 🤷🏻

Always great to see you guys getting together. Enjoy the hell out of the video 💯

[@nhmtrhd]

It is Wonderfull to see you two collaborate. Thx for the very enjoyable video. Please don’t make this the last

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude 🤘

[@MCsCreations]

Awesome fun, Phil! Great bashing there! 😃 You just can't find nitro here where I live (and I've seen some bargains around!)... So, electric it is for me! And I'm installing solar power here, so... Even better. 😬 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@Maddmax206]

Was such a good day out !! Amazing video!!

[@teamnevalus6363]

I do like electronics, but who does like MORE than nitro are just a girls. Remember In the car, we need massive loud engine soundddd!!!! Braaaaa💨💨

[@Heizekel77]

So great to see you both in the same video. Cheers from Sweden, keep it up! 😆

[@Slikx666]

Nice to see you two causing trouble again. 😆👍 And when is a company going to make a hybrid rc car? I know that people have made their own but it would be great to buy one. 🤔

[@ToyotaGuy1971]

The simultaneous backflips were very impressive!

[@Whiskers74]

I've been into hobby grade rc for the last 20 something years, and I love both nitro, and electric. I love the noise, and the smell of nitro, but at the same time you can't beet the sheer speed and power of modern day brushless setups. I still have my original Thunder Tiger MTA4 1/8 scale nitro monster truck that I used to race (need to restore it), plus one I'm modifying with a .54 4stroke nitro aircraft engine, a supercharger, and 8 inch tall tyres through to 1/18 scale crawlers, a 1/14 scale Hyper Go onroad, 1/8 and 1/10 scale drag cars, a couple of boats, and numerous other cars from 1/18 to 1/5 scale that I no longer have. My favourite is still my original 1/8 nitro monster truck, and the matching one that my late friend used to race against me with me. I have to say that the best thing about rc whether you're a nitro, or electric fan, are the amazing people you meet because of the hobby. Keep up the great videos Phil, cause they're a staple of my KZbin viewing. 🤘

[@hollyhillrc]

I like these collaboration videos with Kev. You look like you really enjoy yourselves 👍🏼👍🏼

[@tlfbshti364]

im amazed you have the patience for that dude lol

[@TomleyRC]

I’ve got 3 kids…. 😅

[@wadevallbona5314]

I was shocked when Kev went home in one piece and yours is broke! Awesome video

[@Rusty_Wrenches]

I will say they both have ups and downs but nothing is better than running a nitro! Not because it’s more efficient but it’s just so much cooler!

[@99milesaway41]

Couldn't have asked for a more fun video

[@HumlsHobbies]

Great video gents! You two should team up more often! Its alot of fun!

[@TheKRU251]

Like these 'dual callaborations'. You have fun. We have fun !!!!!

[@crlewww30]

hearing Kev vocalizing the vrraaahhhmmm when the biker goes by lol 😂

[@swarm270]

love the new collaboration !

[@bryanmccann5778]

thats kind of kev send em all to the moon lol

[@sabrekillergameplay4394]

I’m with Kev nothing like a great nitro Electric is good but it’s very sterile 😂 I like the noise and the smell

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, I agree the sound can make it enjoyable…. but not for too long lol

[@BelowAmbient]

not for long.. that makes no sense, all you do is add fuel, you have to wait until your battery is charged @@TomleyRC

[@myst8217]

I'm pushing 40 & always wanted one since the 90's. Might have to make that come true

[@OneLoveRC]

Love to see my two top rc people chilling together

Great collaboration!

[@kashmurray1199]

That was fun to watch.

[@layback209fixorsmash3]

Great video, you need 2 of each to be happy in my opinion 😀.

[@colorado_a3766]

I tell you what, I really enjoy the vids with you and Kev. Your poking fun mixed with his gitty is a really nice combo. 🍻

[@TomleyRC]

Haha… we always give each other crap. And the stuff in the video is the nicer stuff 😅

[@colorado_a3766]

Definitely bring on more content with him when you can dude! Damn good show!

[@alpha-male1959]

Electric is more convenient and faster and dependable.. But the nitros just have the sound and feel that can’t be replaced I have a couple of each 👍

[@SAM-zt2uy]

I had a Thunder Tiger truck that at the time was "apparently" one of the quickest Nitro cars around it was insane and all pre brushless and nothing really beats the sound and smell apart from trying to run it anywhere public! Before that I flew nitro planes electric ones were few and far between oh and radios with crystals!!! Amazing how far RC hobby has come in 20 years.

[@jonathanbarnette8713]

I've been wanting to Nitro version of this truck for a long time❤

[@TheKudos75]

Great collaboration guys keep it up

[@Khairul-Residence]

I love the ‘rivalry’ between the two of you! Looks fun. Enjoyed both of your channels. One’s calm the other crazy. 🤣

[@XydteRC_SimRacing]

i am not a fan of nitro only because i don't like the process to start them up. but to be honest you can't beat the 2 stroke sound :D

[@boduke9428]

They are both cool trucks and both have equally poor suspension, lol. They were the stuff of dreams back in the day tho.

[@Rockatha]

Awesome video very entertaining.

[@thatcrazyguyjay]

tomley buddy you cant beat nitros i love them

[@Mike_and_Life]

Love this truck! And the videos, have fun in Canada!

[@Saudi.UsRaeli]

The car is awesome and belongs to every monster truck collection. car needs 100% a center differential, because this makes it much easier to drive at every level. The centerdiff must be connected at the bottom to the original spur gear. The easiest way to do this is with a Cen Reeper Differrential. On both sides only the lid of the DIff, instead of the main gear, and then connect it with the original spur gear, but even if you glue it, with a strong glue.

[@Therealohgee1]

All of you guys rock.... Much love from Mt holly nc.

[@Jesse_JGA]

Nitro really reminds me of being a kid going to the track or chasing my cousin's T-Maxx flipping it back on it's wheels when he flipped it

[@ShenRC]

They are both nice BUT for this model I think nitro is better for it and makes it break less than the instant power of the brushless it's just to much for it especially on 4s!

[@TodoMotorsRc]

I've a Granite too and it's astonishing, pretty pretty good car

Cool video, can you please tell me how to turn on a 1980s corvette corded rc car, I’m having trouble lol
