Hey man, I only got into RC because of you, my son loves it and is very good already. He is only 5 and me and him love watching your videos, I got my first rc car the arrma notorious v5 and I love the hobby already

[@solidmasta1]

Hi Kevin, im from Quebec,Canada and i just bought a notorious ,i watched all your videos on the notorious.Thanks you for making those videos and upgraded it help me a lot

[@wesbaldwin3868]

Hot Racing makes an aluminum diff case for all 1/8 scale Arrma vehicles, I believe.

[@irishmutrc9320]

Yes they do, bought one today

Hey Kev on your a959 video it really helped to decide if I should get a wltoys a959 as my first hobby grade rc car. Now that I have it it's an amazing car for a beginner. Thanks Kev and I like your videos! 😃

[@yuutamooney7464]

Me too

Yuuta Mooney nice

[@willsistrunk6469]

ThatBrick Films good job man have fun with your hobby

[@phateracing]

@BigFatCone I'd put an A959 with rebuilt/replaced shocks up against an Associated RC18/Reflex. Before you claim otherwise: I've had an RC18T since they came out in ~2005, I've played with the later belt drive RC18's, and the Reflex is pretty much the same. The cheap chinesium 1/18's absolutely hold their own.

[@phateracing]

@BigFatCone And I'm saying I've run both of them on the same day. Yeah, they need better shocks, but even "good" 1/18's are twitchy hard to drive fuckers.

[@SwampersRC]

I have a couple of Power HD servos , they work well , strong. As for aluminum upgrades , diff housings and braces are definitely a good idea. Suspension arms and chassis plates not so much.

[@FullThrottleRC]

I ran one of their previous generations of servos in my SMT10 for a while. Worked well but it wasn't the best for the massive Proline tires. Should be enough power for the size of the Notorious tires!, 👍

[@Dimomult]

I don't think the "home-made" chassis brace is not what caused that diff housing to break. The stock plastic diff housing is really tough it will handle a lot of abuse. The hot racing aluminum housings are definitely stronger and will make the actual differential tougher and harder to strip. I have hot racing towers and diff housing on my Talion. They have taken a lot of abuse and pretty hard direct hits with no problems. Maybe it would be a good idea to get aluminum diff housing, but leave stock shock towers as a weak point to bend first?

[@KevinTalbotTV]

good idea

[@Dimomult]

Keep in mind, the hot racing diff housing comes in 2 pieces. If you buy just the main part, you will still have 1/2 a plastic diff housing. GPM make a aluminum diff housing that is more expensive, but it is the whole aluminun housing, but it is designed different from stock. You have to fully remove the housing from the chassis to access the diff.

[@worldtech8345]

I got a power HD servo for my slash but it is even stronger than my arrma one for 50$ Canadian dollars ( It has a value of 70$ Canadian dollars on amazon ) it is almost 3 times stronger than my slash’s origin one for the same price or 20$ more... it is a very good quality/price ratio servi as you said. I saw the servi you bought at a hobby shop but because of the look and the 10% better performances he was 2 times more costing so I took the one I have. Keep up the great work Kev ❤️😄🙂

[@drog343]

Hot Racing makes a diff housing, but it uses the plastic back piece, and GPM makes one as well (that is entirely alum.). Most people seem to just replace the stock plastic housings from what I've seen (plus they're pretty cheap to keep a few on hand), and not too bad to swap out. I've kept most of my driveline stock, only replacing the center diff cup for an aluminum one, because I run thicker center oil. Also, added the HR motor mount, because I hated how much you had to dig into the thing to change motor / pinion, etc.

[@danielday4519]

Again great tutorial and great wisdom to pass alone to have great bashing or not!! My 5 year old and myself watch together,, nothing wrong with keeping it clean,, and he wants to drive to UK so we can go bash with Kev O,,, TUMBLE WUMBLE OR TO THE MOON, mate!!💯💪✌️

[@jamesstubbs8954]

I just picked up two of these servos for my E Revo 2. They have way better specs than the Savox 1256TG I was considering and about 10 bucks cheaper. Plus they are black to match my dyed chassis.

[@germanrcbashing245]

Hi kev I built a Backslash and it drives so much better and don’t kills a body every time. You should do it too!! Greetings from Germany

[@cooperthomas5290]

Not to sound like a rc noob or why thing But what is a back slash

[@germanrcbashing245]

It’s a Slash converted into a Buggy

[@germanrcbashing245]

Cooper Thomas but i don’t really know why it’s called Backslash

[@MAN-ge2hu]

GermanRc basher I never knew that was a thing is it a different towers and shock angles

[@germanrcbashing245]

Josh Roady it hasn‘t got different towers. Just a different wing, Body etc.

He is a good you tuber but talks to much and I am not into the hundreds of scale crawler vids. He makes some nice vids but I prefer your channel Kev

[@eliasbrechbuhler8851]

Hi Kev I also drive a Power HD Servo in my tamiya TRF 211XM buggy the Servos of Power HD are Excellent👍🏼 I love your videos

[@rowan2128]

I would make the diff aluminum and leave the shock tower plastics. It seems like the diff could be a problem. Great vid kev!!

[@tomroethke]

You said it Kev that’s how it is, don’t want those bulks to bend and a diff shouldn’t bend neither! Keeping the arms plastic should be the way to go!

[@TheWheels1965]

Hey Kev, the centre rod needs to be cut in half and a shocky put in the middle to take some of the impact on the front end!

[@RoadsideRC]

We like this brand of servo! We typically use the 23kg, or sometimes the 20kg and they do the job!

[@iks2713]

Do we need an external bec?

[@RoadsideRC]

@@iks2713 I would be very surprised if you did. I have not needed one.

[@iks2713]

I bought a glitch buster to run mine with my stock esc

[@thatdrewguy2007]

Do not get the HR diff case. it will break everything else the way you bash. The stock replacement is only $10. Honestly I have not seen that happen before on the Arrma rigs. You sir made the magic happen! I like your review of the power HD servo. I might try one of those! As far as the wing mount, RPM is the way to go, IMO. It flexes enough to handle bashing, and keep the wing straight. Use RPM on my Kraton, Typhon, and Talion. Great Vid Kev!!

[@Jarlecritters]

Hi Kev. Hi from Norway. Great videos and you bring big smiles to me. Keep it up👍🏻

[@WazzDog6969]

You always make me happy everytime I watch your videos

[@but531]

I am not fun of aluminium parts with the reasons you say. But i would change a plastic axle to aluminium or metallic only if the car is to powerfull and brake the plastic axles like a 4s lipo setup and more. Generally the plastic parts keep the car lighter, much cheaper, and can take more abuse in some cases much better than the aluminium parts. For example i would never put aluminium wheels on a fast rc car. Even a Wltoys a959 with aluminum wheels it will bend the aluminium wheels in a crash very easy, but if you have plastic wheels is more possible to brake only a front arm but never the plastic wheel or nothing of these two. But i would put aluminum wheels in a scale truck because they are not made for speed. So Kevin has absolutely right about where is better to put aluminium parts and where not.

[@robbrcnstuff4220]

I've been looking at the arrmas at the hobby shop and I like the notorious but I might get a big rock because of the price, I liked the way your notorious handled at the skate park

[@sircefiro]

The car that I've gotten to the best point so far is a Savage Flux with TCS, Alza and RPM parts, surprisingly it came with well shimmed diffs from factory and has never blown one in 7 ish years, it's a shame HPI isn't looking to good these days

[@christopherwilliams1652]

Power hd servos are really good and strong for the money I have a few in my rcs haven’t failed me yet

[@iks2713]

Do we need an external bec to run it?

[@jamesb3092]

I have HR aluminum diff housings on my Kraton and Outcast and had no problems. I suggest an RPM plastic wing mount, it's more flexible.

[@MrKingNica]

I was hoping you took it outside to really test how well or not the servo kept the car straight.

[@darrenc308]

Keep up these vids kev!cant wait to watch this!!notification squad

[@sh1nan1gan5]

I just got a used arrma outcast. It looks so much like the notorious. Great video again!

[@nashanya4262]

Just recently my servo had just died in my Rock rider and it was an ARRMA servo to but why that was in there was because the stock servo died. So I'll get one of these servos in your video and hopefully keep it.

[@robbrcnstuff4220]

I've been lost at the arrmas at the hobby shop and I like the notorious but I might get a big rock because of the price, but I really liked the way your notorious handled at the skate park

[@ShenRC]

😊👍Nice!! If you want a good thread lock that is not as strong as normal blue so you can use it on screws you know you will need to take out get some Tamiya 54032 Anaerobic Gel Thread Lock it works great!

[@AMAZINGRC]

Killer servo..! Practically free for all the power you get. Now to see if it will handle a proper bashing..!!

[@elcoqui6673]

Hey Professor Kev get some threaded rod, nuts and washers and extend the bumper with springs ,just an idea!!! Stevo D313 got a video that has what I'm referring to the Grasshopper build off6!!!

[@michaeldeboer6765]

Btw for the diff house Use the hot racing fitts great and have a Nice look 👌🏻

[@chisoxfan773]

The diff housings are even more ... they dont come with the front pieces so it adds up more

[@alecboswell5527]

Glad to see you are using a power hd servo. I use those as well. Nice man.

[@danielpedi3865]

Hey Kevo you can get aluminum gear boxes on Ebay for all the Arrma vehicles. They are made by GPM a little high on the price, but should stop all the flex from the massive jumps you do...

[@KevinTalbotTV]

thanks

[@olds97lss]

I think RichDB runs the hot racing bulk/diff cases and voltage towers. I'm not 100% sure if he runs the T2T brace though. I'm keeping my towers stock, but I run a T2T brace on the top of the tower. The towers are cheap and they bend out where the shocks are, I just bend the back until they crack, then replace them with stock again.

[@RcFunDrizzy]

Nice video 👍 I would upgrade the diff house and shock tower some weak points

[@Tomsl15]

Love to see it back in action

[@GRIFFINLEVEL3]

Hey Kev! How did this servo hold up? Wondering if it was as good as you thought. Also, what is the transmitter you use to replace the crappy one that comes with that rig? Keep up the good work! 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@andreeasum4243]

Just got an Arrma Typhon 3s yesterday. You should get one too!

[@smiley37greg]

I have this servo in my Rock Rey, it's an impressive model IMO cheers

[@adamhirerc78]

[@luisw3406]

A good servo makes all the difference in a rc vehicle👍👍👍. The price is good too

[@shanemcclain8562]

U could take a soldering iron and melt some stronger plastic to it or just melt it back together it was hard to see in the video just a thought

[@garretthenderson1562]

Kevin I love your videos!! I watch them all the time! I think you should get a Redcat Blackout 4x4 brushless, take it to the skate park and just abuse it! I would love to watch that!! Also trying to kick off my KZbin channel because you’ve inspired me! Keep up the amazing stuff!

[@camcam-uw5mx]

Of course you post this right after I buy a stock replacement servo

[@joellofquist2537]

I put a roll cage on my nitro car it helps plant it and very durable maybe try and find a roll cage to protect some of the parts

[@kylelee4209]

If it's just the front housing breaking just do the front one in alloy with bulkhead and leave suspension as is my thoughts anyway lol

[@ToGrimmToWin]

Would you pick up a redcat trmt8e be6e also under the team magic brand. Seems really good reviews I can find say it’s better than an Arrma but I’d like to see you abusing one
