Kevin. Do a parody of you as a grumpy serious RC racer out to win. 2nd place is for the birds type of guy. I think it would be hilarious to see your acting skills. 😂😂

[@MrBetamax75]

Kevin. As you like bashing and smashing Rc’s so much I’m surprised you have not had a look at the Mardave metal stock cars. They are an obscure UK made car as I’m sure you know and they look like a lot of fun. The aim is to dent and wreck. Mardave seems to never get any exposure and is an old skool and overlooked RC community.

[@ChrissSanchez-vn2vp]

Kevin are you sure

[@notlegend7118]

I want to see a video of one of the old ones

[@EustathiaKaira]

🚙💥

[@davida8407]

Man, I was really looking forward to the 10 min build you usually do for these kits. Those are some of my favorite videos!

[@WildPhoenix989]

These little truck racers do look and seem like alot of fun, also shout out to the guy who did the commentary for the actual race!

[@jamespotter3334]

Can confirm South Cambs RC club is very very welcoming. Always have a great time there even when it all goes wrong and everything breaks

[@TheRCScotsman]

Fantastic! Affordable, spec-class racing always delivers the most fun. The trucks look great, too! Plenty of scope for personalisation, without changing the performance.

[@cherrycheshire7555]

The Tamiya TT-01 chassis is fairly common and has quite the few variants and comes with a nice selection of bodies. You can have a Lancer, Subaru, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, all built on the TT-01 chassis. Plenty of upgrade options which makes it a great starter platform but also leaves enough room to go pro with it. Just the chassis here is 99 euros and for one that has a shell on it you'd be spending about 120 - 150 euros excluding the electrics.

[@foxyscontent713]

I use one aswell, def one of the best cheap options

[@MrMaxEffort]

The kid at 1:32 when he joined the picture, the expression on his face looked like he was on England's most wanted list... 🤣🤣🤣👍👍

[@Sooz3112]

At 7:10 it nice that the other car helped you out ❤

[@a1racer441]

Looks like it was some super fun racing. Sometimes getting back to basics and less cash frustrations prep is the most fun.

[@Allkair]

We race these all the time but follow the Tamiya race series rules, no upgrades except for bearings. You can grease the kit shocks, but no other modifications. Ton's of fun and super even racing.

[@Ultegra10SPD]

They used to have 24hr races over here in the states using the tt01e platform. Still have mine. Pure crazy fun. More fun and track time in 1wkend that you get in a whole asphalt or carpet season. -U10

[@logjammin084]

Wow! That’s really cool. Where did you use to do that race? I can’t imagine what would simply wear out from that kinda continuous driving

[@jeromeross9247]

I bought one last year and havent raced it yet. love that my tracks only allow bearings and you have to run the pogo stick shocks. Atleast 30 trucks show up for races

[@w4shtrey]

The in-race commentary was great. Got several good laughs from it

[@justingregg8467]

So ready to watch this video

[@ronniecato248]

Dirt cheap racing was also the best rc racing video to date🎉

[@theAessaya]

I loved the commentary on the race footage, by the way. Made it so much better to watch.

[@carswithaaron]

lol Can't expose the youtubers who don't actually know how to drive when all they do is bash in a parking lot LOL! Our local track has a spec class for these to race box stock & everyone has to run the same 2C Lipo they're so fun!! We also created another class with these kits basically same as box stock except you were allowed to change the gearing, center drive shaft, run bearings and had to have a truck style racing body ( nastruck type body) but that was it. They're the most fun! Spec classes are always the best!

[@Cloxxki]

What a glorious club. It's a great move to these cheap but fun self built cars. That's the way to do it. Lots of cheap racing with a bit of a wager perhaps, and for those who want to, high budget racing for absolutely no trophies or gains 😀

[@nandclemminck208]

another class video Kev! keep it up

[@FarmerFpv]

This is awesome! I'm going to talk it over with my RC race club to see if we can do a class with these trucks. I love it Kev! They look so cool!

[@GaminGit]

Ah... Wish it was a little closer, looks like nice chilled friendly fun! Congrats on the win, was a really tight race.

[@coryfulton9762]

We race these on an oval carpet track in Nova Scotia. Slightly more modified, aluminum drives haft and we are running brushless motors. They are great fun!

[@michaeldorich4485]

The Eurotruck class is a great class as long as there's not a lot of cheating. It is fun. It was a great idea to cover this class.

[@drewp9112]

looks like fun one of the big reasons people get out of rc racing is the costs can really skyrocket. having a stock class with everyone running the same car is a great idea.

[@gymhull]

That qas a good race weldone Kevin for keeping his cool ! No pressure there kev

[@butzaman5139]

Looks awesome!

[@somethingbrutal666]

It's always a good video when Vinnie makes an appearance.

[@jeremyzlonkevicz2230]

I love my Euro truck! Racing them is so much fun.

[@barrygauci9933]

Kevs truck reminds me of the tow truck from cars . Just needs the big ole eye bawls

[@s109apache7]

Siiiick lori!

[@seansamurai1981]

Remember years ago doing Tamiya stock stuff. Had the old TA02 chassis with the old touring car Mondeo shell, then later a Calibre body shell. Some brilliant racing

[@nosnhoj99]

Definitely need to get the youtube battle for these up if you can organise it it'll be super fun.

[@caribbeanmafia2444]

Finally! in the UK for the first time Now to find a good hobby shop

[@davidives7204]

This was fantastic to watch

[@rctankgo]

Tamiya TT-01never gets old!.

[@samsterstormhobbies]

I actually live in papworth! Didn't realize the club was so close! May have to dust off my buggy!

[@bling1634]

That RC semi race truck is cool and looks fast to

[@TheTonester2312]

What a sport. I need to charge up my batteries again!

[@ScruffyOldJimbo]

Those trucks look awesome fun to race!

[@Dirtbikeleo]

I really want one of them for Christmas

[@RCKickschannel]

100% a fantastic friendly club! Sorry I could'nt make it Kev, I was having my hair cut and blow dried.

[@KevinTalbotTV]

no worries theres always next time!

[@leec8592]

For a relatively cheap truck that looked amazing to race and was surprisingly quick and agile .....

[@EDCtexan]

These TT chassis are awesome for anyone to join in the fun i wish they had more of a cabover body since its the real life version races seem to have more a euro body than american

[@rcmortyhobbies2567]

I built one of those and put scale truck wheels and tires on it and made it a all wheel drive drifter very fun

[@mraltoid19]

You make Real England sound awesome, I wish we had clubs like this in new England.

[@PopalongRC]

That was a close race, we have our truck dialled, we will join you soon buddy, just have to prize that thumb off our heads 😂 great vid as always Kev👍

[@TimG2553]

Looks a nice kit I prefer my bashers but it could be something different to race

[@-BoNEz]

Tomley was to busy mopping his floors 😂

[@TomleyRC]

My Mop would have made a clean sweep if I'd raced them with it ;)

[@essexboydave]

An actual informative video 😊 I keep wondering if I should give racing a try or what to start with and I never knew there was a club so close to me 👍

[@37077]

Lucky 13 !

[@AussieRCTV]

you and friends should go to arc raceway again and do a scale race with UDR's losi SBR' and baja reys. or at least take your UDR for a bash again haven't seen that off the shelf in a very long time, great racing kev!

[@Slikx666]

Now that really did look like a good time, and that truck looks great.

[@rcsmith5909]

Great looking truck I don’t get your stuff right away so I’m just trying to get comment on there. I don’t know if you see him anymore but I usually tune in a lot later I’m working longer, but I still watch everything man several several times each you’re the greatest KZbinr on the planet, I don’t care about numbers

[@BeardRubEnjoyer]

This TT truck class is so incredible. Just like TT02, anyone can build it (Im a gorilla and built one that races). Great to see it highlighted on your channel.

[@muskokamike127]

proof that you don't need to spend thousands of dollars to have fun. When you announced the race/challenge it reminded me of IROC....where you don't know what car you were driving until you got to the track and you were only allowed to change set up, nothing on the car other than that.

[@shoshoneedwards1349]

Kev that pit maneuver was epic! Good on ya!

[@microbuilder]

*Really* makes me want to get back into racing...its only been a few decades, I'm sure my RC10T is still competitive lol

[@josephholland252]

Looks good brother

[@willjones7132]

How about Kev doing some Alloy R/C banger racing!

[@RC-Closer1313]

I’m surprised that you don’t have a real semi (not THAT semi Kev😳) to haul your big vehicles about!! The racing looks fun

[@mattm1841]

at my local track we only race clay 2wd and 4wd buggies and then circle track racing -_- I wish we had a group near me racing carpet like this or even outdoor pavement trrack!

[@skasev]

Tomley was too excited for Christmas

[@adrianpilbeam7403]

I keep looking at these trucks. They look epic. You should try the MB-01 Chassis next mate. Just as cheap and you can change the chassis config easily. Be interesting to see what you make of it.

[@8ssteve994]

Awesome bro, shame I work nights or I’d be up for that

[@EJ-74]

Andy cheated in so many ways I lost count 😂🤣

[@vbspeed7571]

I got into this race class a while back then the hobby shop closed down. Now it'd back open so hopefully I get back out ther..wish me luck👋🫡🤟🤟🤟Kev....grate racing Kev

[@lexPetro240sx]

WaZz up, that looked very fun. And the trucks look dope

[@rcsmith5909]

Dude, that looks super fun. Nice race you would’ve beat them guys anyway. Old hop along they wouldn’t have been able to keep up.😂

[@JagImaging]

Love my EuroTruck

[@Economan66]

That lunchbox got destroyed in the start!

[@jagergerg9771]

Nice race

[@Cloxxki]

Kev is ice cold under pressure. I don't drive RC myself ATM but I'd love to hang out at that club. I'm just not in the country.

[@DunkinsCrew]

I still want to see an 8s AXIAL SCX6

[@YesMateRCMann]

Boom 💥

[@JoevsRc]

This is a great class to race. Loads of fun

[@IPlayRandomGames_offical]

You should try drifting it that would be an awesome video!

[@AJYZF1R2010]

I love when Kev says dirt cheap 😂

[@Pablo668]

That did look like a lot of fun. Pity the other KZbinrs couldn't make it.

[@aercracing]

That's my car on the lego stand! :D

[@noahsrcs1808]

Oh maaan wish I’d got one that looked like so much fun!!!

[@TomleyRC]

After the last Tamiya Race we are letting you get some practice in so you don't embarrass yourself again.

[@KevinTalbotTV]

haha you recon!

[@richardmarsden6516]

They looked good fun

[@ChrissSanchez-vn2vp]

Am watching u from Ghana

[@vvorldnewsmedia]

Thank you, my friend, for some reason you showed up in my feed today love the RCs makes me want to get into them till I saw the prices loll thank you young man. lol

[@emilianomacias7369]

ok so kev i hope ur seeing this i want u to check out a rc car that is small cusimizible, led tires, racetrack, and more so this rc car is called hexmods rc tunners cars rac way and the thing is ITS 100 dollars i got it and it was well worth it and when u break the car u can just some of the part btw i asked u for my bday to check it out which was sep 25th then last year to no luck to hope i get lucky

[@MangoJim90]

Ohh, I love such events. The look of this bodies 🤩👍👍👍👍💪😎

[@rcfools]

I wouldn't mind giving this type of racing a go. Do you have to use the TT-01 chassis or can the TT-02 chassis be used also?

[@kjflyte5088]

Take grease out of bearings and add light oil instead.

[@shawnwaters2154]

I have that truck and the golf mk1 ready to build

[@liliportalltv]

Cool bro

[@teddybjorn1815]

Cool truck

[@dazofthemoo1531]

Haha. Beautiful pit manoeuvre for position One. 5:25

[@pawciopaw]

Good model 👍

[@MitchellBolognaniRC]

That looks like absolutely epic fun 😂

[@ISOSAILING]

me and my mate use to use mad bulls to race was awesome fun!! although we now mainly race hobao vt's now as the seem to last better in my mates barn lol just run mine on 3s and my mate runs his on 2s and there more than fast enough, don't run mine on 2s as my esc won't work on 2s

[@MarkHahn]

Good man,Kev. You take care of your friends and your local stores. 👍 I would love to race with you one day. I'll meet you at Monster Jam in SLC when you come.

[@MiloH2023]

Cool

[@GhostRyderFPV]

I've seen proof: Kevin knows how to _brake!_

[@jonathansanchez1305]

What happened to the trailer??

[@TaTar-1993]

Nice to meet you 😊 ☺️ 🙂 🤗 😀 😄

[@EJ-74]

In the clubs I raced at from 2000 - 2004 if you were caught flat out cheating you would immediately be told to pack your sh%t and if you gave any lip and didn't leave willingly there was a whole building full of people that had no problem assisting you out the door. lol After every race in stock class or any limited classes you take you RC straight to the tech and leave it, you're not allowed to touch your RC between heat races and mains in certain classes, unlimited and modified classes you could do pretty much anything you wanted, The body's were the only restriction, you had to run a body and it had to meet the height and width restrictions, I liked it because it kept everybody honest and it kept the cost down for certain classes anyways lol, I mainly ran limited stock and pro stock, Most competitive classes... It came down to driving skills....
