[@Chunky246]

So nice to see a nice none pretentious elitist race club. People racing and just enjoying themselves.

[@KevinTalbotTV]

yes, its a breath of fresh air! wish more clubs were like it

[@JimmyKay1976]

Well said. The attitude of most racers is why I gave it up.

[@mysisterandi2097]

Where is this club kev

[@jimmydeprez867]

66

[@jordancoleman2402]

Wish i had a track like that one in my state❤️Exactly the atmosphere that turned me off to to racing and eventually RC cars all together. Nothing funner than going to a track and getting treated like crap because you dont run what the locals run or happen to be new to racing 😒 got into helicopters and airplanes a few years ago and gotta say its a lot more relaxing and friendly.

[@theblackguytv9891]

Seeing Stemp laughing and going goofy around the track really makes the hobby seem like so much fun. I only wish all the tracks were this fun and lighthearted cause you guys have such a wonderful time

[@josephwheelerl7370]

Some are fun, some are super serious. It all depends on the group.

[@corgicakes5629]

I race at a local hobby shop and they are all really nice and the races are always fun

[@kristopherguilbault5428]

@@corgicakes5629 the closest track I have to me is kind of in an "unsavory" part of town. And it sucks because all the bad people race and bet money on it all the time.. BIG money :p and it doesn't give people like me or even young kids a chance to be able to race around a track. :/ They make a big deal out of it like it's a public track you see.. but I have to pay one of the hoodlums to be able to race on it. Even if you go there early. In the morning and no one is there. If the gangs catch you. They will demand money and if. You don't have it they will either take your car.. if it's nice... Or smash it. I've seen it happen... The city police has been notified COUNTLESS times. But they seem to want nothing to do with it... Oh well.. I guess I can go around in a small circle in my backyard. Or up and down my street. With hellacious potholes... If I ever get a house with some. Land I'm gonna build a super nice RC truck. And it's gonna be free for anyone. And gambling in the race will be a no no.. ALL FOR FUN ;) ;)

[@brandenplays5326]

Yo it’s not like this anywhere near me I got into the hobby and it’s very hard I still gotta say I love watching kev tho he makes it look easy!!!’

[@jaybyrd090811]

I know I love watching videos when Kev and Stemp get together I laugh so much my face hurts...we all need a Stempy in our lives

[@gregganderson5479]

For those watching, the LC10B5-that's their "race version" of a 1/10 buggy. The PGT-1 (shown in this video) is more for bashing. Obs, who cares, and you can race both-but, being a super fan of LC Racing, I thought it was worth mentioning. Also, the LC10B5 is a kit that needs to be built vs. the PGT-1 will come pre-built. The PGT-1 comes with a slipper clutch and is mostly plastic while the LC10B5 comes with a center diff and comes with tons of carbon fiber. As Kevin would say-that's enough techno babble.

[@TheflyingkiwiRC]

Thanks for clearing that up. Because they were less than impressive.

[@chipsnpeasifuplz]

Thought they did a more high end car.

[@khatzine7244]

yea, thats why the chassis seems familiar, it looks pretty much the same as my ptg2r

[@gregganderson5479]

@kevin-so you mind pinning this so folks will know the "techno-babble" behind this model?

[@marknoblade4904]

but for the price its better than most

[@rusty1898]

I've been a hobbyist my entire life. The one thing I've learned is cheaper isn't good when you play hard.. I raced every week end for years my b 44.1 is still a monster still rocks the track.. it wasn't cheap but I've had it for years!! I got a bunch but that one is big $ but it don't break and is ready to race!!

[@ronniethelimodriver6971]

Hands down greatest racing video. Seeing the smile on stempies face though out the race is priceless. Driving his broken car around the track was epic and watching Ken driving, the way over powered mini, just had me laughing out loud. . That's the way it was when I joined the hobby back in the 80's. It was all about fun and making friends that have the same interest, and not taking yourself so seriously that you forget these are just very expensive toys. I enjoy your channel tremendously and would fly across the pond to enjoy a day of racing FUN.

[@Boogie_the_cat]

In 2024 I've met 5 total strangers and two of their children, just driving thru my neighborhood in RC trucks in one month. 3 of the "strangers" drive RC themselves and two of em showed me their cars (dragsters) within the first 10 words we spoke. The hobby can still be about stuffing around and having fun, as long as you meet the right people. Also, the 80's were good times too. My childhood was in the 80's but I could never afford RC growing up with a single mother working 3 jobs. Now I own a Granite BLX and my Arrma Felony 6s will be delivered tomorrow. Happy RC-ing!

[@davidhiscock1969]

3 mates having a laugh with their cars , what it's all about 👍 that lil Losa is a lively thing

[@rothamfarm1682]

That looks like a blast. Everyone smiling and having fun. That's what the hobby is all about. My cheap rc break the pins a lot to. Guess it's a cheaply made part. Great video

[@MegaJustintee]

Makes me want to hunt down my old Rc car from when I was a kid & upgrade all it's electronics & see how it goes.

[@thecman26]

Feom my experience, in RC you definitely DO get what you pay for! If it's cheap, it's cheap for a reason!

[@Gavs_rc_hobbies]

The one thing I tell newbies to rc racing is that you dont need the latest and greatest to get started. If you come with a basic rtr buggy, that's cool. If you enjoy racing you can upgrade later to something better. Hell, I still race my old Team Associated B5M on club days and it still holds it's own against newer buggies.

[@jonwoods1741]

I’ve been a fan for years and I’m glad you found a track where you can race and have fun..as a bonus seeing you come in first is awesome..keep up with some more race content when you can!! Love it 🔥🔥🔥

[@estefanopassatore8150]

That rock music realy rocks the amps out of the lipo core.

[@glenpiro313]

Kev, I gotta be honest here……and this is a big statement…. but this is your absolute best episode yet in my opinion!!! Just knowing that a racing club exists where people actually smile while inside the building let alone racing has gotten me excited again. Now I just need to find a track remotely close!! That 1:18 Losi was a rocket ship! One of the comments here said he put a 3S setup in his….. You need to do that please!!!!

[@dankforest]

I agree his vids have gotten me back into it. Against my wifes wishes lol. Our friends dad hosts an outdoor track in OK about 3 hours away. So im looking forward to smoking him on his track this year!

[@kooperativekrohn819]

1:24 VERY NICE hahah so down to earth guys. Love it

[@ahhobby2527]

Hi Kev it's nice to finally see a Losi Mini model on your channel. I suggest you could also get the Mini-B and race it against the Mini-T. Both models got brushed and brushless setups, I think you're gonna have a good time with those. Also you can also get the Mini-B pro roller version and make it your 1/16 project racer. Cheers.

[@HotWheelsandRC]

Budget race cars are good to get in the hobby. But high-end brands just have better replacement part support, and they last longer.

[@5punkybob]

Cheap RCs have a good place in the hobby. I started on a TT02 and was keeping up with thousand $$ chassis in VTA racing.

[@rubinhodrone9204]

Bom dia Passando pra prestigiar aquele super like

[@richardjames9091]

Love your honesty and humour.

[@lifeofdave1237]

Wasn't expecting stempy to break it 🙄 oh, hang on 🤣🤣 yes we was 🤣🤣 great fun that.

[@gregganderson5479]

Glad to see LC Racing represented!!! Love the brand.

[@CaliforniaNitro]

Friends having fun with Rc. Thanks for the laughs!

[@Ali_Leitch]

That was hilarious!! As others have said, these clubs are normally a fun free zone, but that was great! Also great to see the young lad there, having a blast regardless of what toy he had! Stempy kills me 😅

[@muskokamike127]

stempy kills everything, including cars hahaha

[@JonnieB.]

That sure was fun to watch. All the smiles show coming first isn’t needed for a good time!

[@44punisherable]

Love seeing everyone just have proper fun like it's supposed to be. That kid with the old rig would've been me with my stadium blitzer 30 year's ago

[@Luke-en2tk]

The main difference with a digital radio is the ability to set steering end points and overall steering and you can also make the car easy to drive by setting steering exponential/steering curve. A high end radio is as much about the feel of it rather than how responsive it is. This year I've just changed from a normal digital servo to a brushless servo and it has again made the car easier to drive, seems to track straighter.

[@ruleslawyer]

The higher end radios do have significantly better latency. You don't need the M17 to get that, but I could feel the difference between a radio link and sanwa and testing I've seen confirms its real.

[@anthonyrawsthorne656]

Went from a cheaper end radio (Core Rc) to a Sanwa, and needed to learn again, the response time is instant with the sanwa, and kept turning in too early. Couple of days getting used to it, then start altering settings.

[@Packgod92]

i. Love. Your. Videos.

[@dogyak9927]

I love watching your videos. I’ve been watching your videos for three years. they’re the best RC videos out there. You’ve inspired me so much with RC cars.

[@jayfarthing]

That looks cracking fun... Going to have to find out what local clubs near me are like I think

[@TastierBackInThe80s]

You know, these aren't too bad considering. Even the Re re Ultima spits the back hinge pins out on high grip like carpet. A British company makes solid metal retainers for the Ultima to help with it. Proper tyres on these things, then maybe tuning the expo or end points and such, might help with the steering. Plus some tuning of the suspension. They might be a good level entry car to get into racing??

[@mavazquez1]

Oy Mate. You have a great saying, whatever puts a Smile on your face. I gotta say... I'm always Smiling when you get together with your Mates. The Boat episode the dingy with Stemp was Hilarious! I'm liking this long clip of you and your Mates just having Fun at the RC Club. That's what it's about. I'm a Noob, a couple new Mini Zs I just started to wrench with, and haven't even decided on a bigger scale rig yet because I'm still doing the research. And you are helping me out an awful lot. Keep Ripping!! Great Channel.

[@ruleslawyer]

Cheap out on your electronics starting out, but get a name brand kit. The issue with weird off brand chassis is that parts support is horrible. You also have a lot harder time getting help with setup at the track. Running the same chassis as the fast guys you usually will help you set up your car. To be clear, the name brand kit isn't about going faster, its not having a frustrating experience and a broken car that ends up sitting on the shelf.

[@DadsRCHangar]

Crazy times, have me a smile for the day. 👍🏻

[@andrewfumarolo7588]

This is so good

[@andrewfumarolo7588]

Hi

[@johnmasonRCingabout]

That's the coolest rc racing video I've seen in a long time. It's nice to see Kevin making people happy :)

[@essexbirds1870]

Love these race videos.

[@wade7959]

This video was worth it just to see Stemp driving on a more controlled track. He still managed to Stemp it. 🤣😂😆🤣😂😆💀

[@kashmurray1199]

Lot of fun. Yeah Stamp. Good race Kev.

[@madrich2018]

Enjoying the buggy racing man. Looks just as much fun as bashing. I enjoy watching your channel aways full of energy! I tryed racing before and the place I went to was just too serious

[@GrulbGL]

i dont know about you all, but everytime i see an RC i get happy everytime, since i was a kid... it feels the same

[@jeffsloane8628]

"Double wishbone" suspensions have upper and lower wishbone shaped arms connecting the hub to the chassis. The Losi is an independent single wishbone suspension design with upper turnbuckle links just like the RC10.

[@Josh-qk8us]

Hey Kev… keep up the good work bro… love the content….. love your vids…. I’ve been a huge fan from your beginning. All the best champ..

[@rcjoe406]

Kool stuff ...and if this KZbin thing doesn't work out for you maybe a couple of big sponsors and run the pro class worldwide I think you got the skills 👏 👍 😉

[@fr0st630]

Hey Kev just to let you know the mini losi is a 1/18 scale and that on horizon hobby you can buy a 3s battery for it I think to give it more POWER

[@SaltyDuck97]

Put a CC sidewinder 3s 5400kv combo in mine and I can confirm it's absolutely absurd

[@Shaun-hp2yz]

that would blow the esc

[@alexsaam2696]

That racing buggy is quick as hell. Super responsive. For 2s its incredible.

[@vikingvisigoth4384]

I grew up with my Grasshopper and was more than happy with it.

[@SniperBlueWolf]

Where I live in Guernsey we have a club that races 1/18 scale on an indoor circuit, the Losi features quite a lot, great little car, I have one of course so I'm biased lol.

[@noahsrcs1808]

Loving these race videos keep em up! Think I better come to the club looks like a lot of fun 😀

[@mgers75]

One of great things about the expensive top-of-line Sanwa or Futaba radios is you can tune the servo speeds and feels to make them easier to drive. Most pro racers are turning down the servo speed 10-20% when racing with the ultra-fast servos on the carpet. Takes away some twitchiness and makes it easier to just push the car hard and get consistent fast laps with fewer mistakes. Slower is faster is more than a stupid racing cliche.

[@RealJawnes]

They don’t have to be necessarily top of the line, as my 4pm has all those features

[@Paxmax]

"power and speed is worth nothing without control"

[@brookekathryn1980]

I've had a losi mini T for decades! Super fun!

[@mgscheue]

I have the 2.0. Really a fun little thing.

[@clodbusted1776]

Those indoor carpet tracks are so much fun !

[@christopherkerr8112]

I will like to say Kev I love watching your videos and have been subscribe to your channel for about 4 years it’s great to see your Monster Truck finished. Can not wait to see you and your monster truck in a Monster Truck Event 👍👍🇦🇺

[@greyninja88]

Losi mini-t is ace. My son has the brushed and I have the brushless. It has dual rates so you can speed them up even more than they come stock!

[@demofilm]

more fun and racing.. this is the essence of rc hobby. just have some fun.

[@ronaldswangler2538]

I raced a sportwerks mayhem 1/8 nitro buggy bone stock for years and never had a problem competing with cars that were worth 4-5 as much.

[@lumpycheesegames]

Good fun watching when you and stempy turn up to the meets Kev.

[@kevinpettit4144]

Those LC buggies look fun! My son has the Mini-T brushed and he has a blast. You should try the Mini-B, it handles so much better. I have one with a castle system in it. It’s crazy fast and so much fun to bash. They are tough little cars.

[@donalahern6666]

Kev, are you going to do a build of the 30th anniversary kyosho mp10 I seen in the background? I managed to get my hands on one too😎

[@Erikootje]

Kevin, do a Losi Tenacity DB Pro video mate, you will love bashing that little monster, I promise!!!

[@unclejam1]

LC Racing is a very popular new-born brand in China. In our RC community, almost everyone has one on hand even we all have top tier buggies like AE and Losi because LC cars are quite cheap while having the pretty decent quality and performance.

[@lukespector5550]

Your nation has practically shown the RC world community what a ripoff Japanese brands are! Kyosho are NOTHING now & all Tamiya can do is cater to my generation's nostalgia (I'm 44 yrs old).

[@superaidenproductions1870]

Stemps always been my favorite kev friend on this channel, absolute legend!

[@globalfallout7249]

Propper mash up with the lads. Awsome

[@OffroadTakeover8]

What is Vinny talking about? Dumbo radio is a beast!!

[@Vinnyschannel]

In your dreams

[@Ndwow]

Kev I would like to see you do 1/10th scale rc drag racing and maybe try and make a car that can do 1.5 sec or lower as I believe the recorded is 1.59. And also I would like to see a cheap 1/10 scale drag rc build as well

[@andy-tu2rx]

Love the video.watching from sunny majorca whilst lounging by the poole.and the losing is fun think it's the mini t

[@josephwheelerl7370]

Stemp: "where's it gonna go, it's got the lid on?" 🤣🤣🤣

[@shadowbran2658]

Would be great to see a video on the Corally Shogun to see how durable it is, seems to be much better and more well rounded than the other Corally products you reviewed and I think it would make a good video!

[@NO-kz5fs]

I'm playing around with wltoys 14401 I'm Thai ชอบดูมากๆ

[@Hondarider35]

You have great edits. Love the content!!

[@gatorage850]

Club race all you need is a good set of tires... the stock radio will work fine. with 1/10 2wd buggy, you can almost get away with a cheap analog plastic gear servo (even more so on dirt - the higher grip the more power you need in the servo).

[@66mymouse]

Stumpy was the jammer car in that race. Totally funny

[@JeremiahLutherPritchett]

Losi Mini-B Pro Roller Waiting on that video !!!

[@ronaldgun0244]

too much speed boss kevin!!!good race

[@88davidw]

Awesome video. Love Vinny and Stemp. Really enjoying your buggy racing videos 😃

[@smallscalemotoring]

So glad you finally got a brushless Mini T!! That stock Dynamite system is legit 💪 one of my favorite cars (I now have five of them 🤣)

[@stew8490]

Brilliant video nice you given two cars to your friends but good if you could hook up the young lad with new racing rig

[@thomasbritsch1392]

Are your ESC´s setted just on forward-backward or with break?

Perfect music for Stemp's driving lol

[@Angry-Lynx]

cool to see chicks playing with cars ;

[@gc.verified]

Hey kev do you have any cheap servos you recommend? I have an ecoboost 21kg in my rustler 4x4 but I've noticed you have only been recommending very expensive servos recently.

[@gboulter]

Stemp is what most clubs need someone to remind them it's supposed to be fun.

[@Dr.Thermite]

Love the music in this video.

[@wadevallbona5314]

You got me wanting to get into racing now lol

[@shaziljadoon4290]

i love you and this is my dream to get this types of cars i have 5 RC cars but they are not fast enough

I Just love this kind of videos Kev! Makes me feel like a kid again. 😃👍

[@knuffelbeer93]

Love that english accent. Let it wwipph. Lovely😁

[@SniperBlueWolf]

It's so nice to see cars and components on your channel that I actually have and race :)

[@sheliabryant1911]

1/18 and yes it's a ripper. Lots of aftermarket parts.. On the losing 2.o. We have 3,only r/c we have 3 of. 3s is a must!wicked stock. We put a mamba micro and cnhl 1500mah batt and it's a literl pocket rocket.

[@steveblackbird5174]

Epic video Kev and crew. Stemp might still have a future in RC racing lol Brilliant laughs at that club.. wish more were like that. +1 for the Dumbo radio. Have 3 of them and bound up to nearly all my cars. Brilliant radio at 5 times the price!!!

[@jasondessin8962]

Another great video as always thanks Kev

[@williamthedoorman9610]

Hey kev great video, you have to tell stempy, to turn down his dual rate , he was all over the track he had to much stressing, nice buggy and good driving Kevin 2nd place well done brother, thanks your friendly neighborhood Doorman william from NYC forgettaboutit 👊 😀

[@yamahschector]

I love the little losi. I almost bought one but ended up with a small scale crawler instead

I actually really like these professional videos.. because of you I started all this :)

[@yhanscicluna4587]

Hey Kev, I haven’t been watching you for a long time but I really love your content and sometimes I feel like there isint enough videos to watch. Im new to the rc world and I would appreciate if your review the ftx tracer ( my only rc car ) as I would like to see your thougts! Thanks 😊

[@iainmoulden9065]

Feel like Stempy needs a self mechanism on all his RC cars! 😂
