I've been using power tools on my rc's for a few years now, massive game-changer!

[@mrgrady9460]

I’m wondering why nobody liked this

[@jonteesdale18]

Wow! Kev that wire strip hack was legit! thanks for that tip!

[@martinmang1]

I agree with using power tools they make things so much easier and thanks for the tip of the tips

[@NordicRC]

Good one! Never thought about the hot glue and lighter. Very handy in the field. Thanks for sharing.

[@N_Fortune]

For $25 the best electric driver is the BLACK+DECKER PivotPlus Drill/Driver it has numerous torque settings so you won't strip the screws & it can drill holes. Can't be beat for the price! Thx Kev for the ArrowMax tips info in your other video. They work great!

[@atomicdeath10]

I rebuilt my Tmaxx from the ground up with the L shaped allen keys. Made my entire arm hurt and couldn't write properly in school but it was worth it. Went from a basic Tmaxx to a OS engine and full aluminum skeleton with upgraded shocks and full stainless steel screw set. Damn it I miss that truck.

[@tomstc]

Excellent stuff, I saw your pliers idea for soldering on one of your other videos and used it recently to solder some bullet connectors to a brushless motor. Made my life so much easier before was using two bricks pushed together!

[@dirtbikedaxen35]

Kevin talbot is the best rc basher I’ve ever saw keep it up kev

[@mailmanx69]

Kevin is to RC's as Whistlin' Diesel is to full-size trucks.

[@crimsonfancy]

My rig is Hitachi DB3DL2 (with perfect clutch) and MIP drivers. Good value and exactly made for RC imo.

[@MrAdammx93]

Great video kev. Going out getting a udr weekend to keep my 8s xmaxx company on the shelf keep up the good work buddy love your videos 👍

[@cab-outrc7755]

Thanks for the tips! I will definitely use these in my workshop

[@not5tock5.0]

Hey kev, I have a video suggestion for you, you should make some sort of Styrofoam wings like those Styrofoam airplanes attach them to the body on the rustler and hit a jump and see if you can get it to fly a little bit lol

[@evhexrc1765]

Like Roman Atwood lol. Maybe I’ll do that too...

[@SFE97]

Can anyone help me by telling me where i can get a HPI Rush Evo A394 Servo Arm from please?

[@stpbasss3773]

@@SFE97 is there any other RC with a similar servo arm you could maybe use? Like I use a losi servo arm on my slash lcg chassis but I know the slash has a wide range of arms you can use.

[@melspadt]

I've been into RCs for about 30 years and a few of those tips I didn't know! Thanks Kev!

[@stpbasss3773]

Being new to the hobby I have learned a lot from watching your videos and I have never let a shop work on my cars I do everything, I just got a hot glue gun yesterday lol the drill is next I have the screwdriver style hex wrenches but it still sucks especially when you have to tear an RC down to the chassis it's a lot of screwing hahaha.

[@lukegraham1628]

Great vid Kev very helpful could u possibly make a small wooden ramp out of thin plywood? I think that would be an interesting video that would be unique on ur channel!

[@bryantgenson5339]

Yes power driver is a tool I need and a few small renchis and driver bits and all the good stuff

[@toyota218921]

Good tips kev👍👍👍

[@crispinshipp2624]

thanks for the tips kev

[@braws]

You can also stick one of the magnets right onto the screw driver near the base! Works even better.

[@thatslowranger5157]

i like that he takes his workshop apart for testing purposes only

[@evhexrc1765]

Oh! The horror! I can’t take it! The Allen wrenches! The pain! PTSD... I’ve been doing RC for years and I just got a set of hex/nut drivers this summer. Gosh, they make such a difference. Before the hexdrivers, I’d just destroy my hands with the Allen keys. I knew I was hurting myself, but I wanted my rc truck to function more than the ability to hold the transmitter lol. I never should have waited years to get a set of hexdrivers.

[@evhexrc1765]

I have a 3.6v black and decker electric screwdriver that I got for a dollar I think, and sometimes I overpower it with a 7.2v NiMh/nicd stick pack. I like to use regular hexdrivers for the most part. I need to get a set of drill hex tips from MIP so I can use the overvolted electric driver for more types of screws with my rc’s.

[@ZNICK-uj5dt]

Were that video u said yesterday

[@ZNICK-uj5dt]

It's been 4 months stilll

[@evhexrc1765]

There’s a lot of vids coming! Patience, my good sir. Editing is a pain in the butt and I already have a few vids in the process of editing. Besides that, I have HOURS of untouched RC footage!👟 Good things come to those who wait.

[@onemansvideos2134]

That drill vs Allen wrench is like John Henry vs the machine

[@Valdemar-Perez-III]

Bro when you gonna take out the slash and the rustler my dude, good video btw 😂😂😂

[@Migelmada2]

Thanks for the tips kev👍

[@kendesign3622]

You have to watch how hot the bolt bolt gets from the friction. Speed is not always a good thing.

[@ClarkesMadRcs]

Kev this is sick lol I'm actually doing the stuff that you do most of the time lol owesome vid you soo cool

[@mitchelljohnson8107]

Let's bring out the slash

yeh man same!

[@danking2715]

Yo kev Marvellous wrist action lol .🤗

[@excitingstuff8209]

That's how I do mine its safer then power tools but takes loads of time but you connect more with your rc

[@adrongarretson6195]

Love your vids .... I have a termite wild captor have you ever heard of it???? It is 1/10 scale... I need tires a wheels which one's will work on this thing

[@KevinTalbotTV]

not hired of that dude

[@evhexrc1765]

Whatever the hex size is on your vehicle I haven’t heard of, wheels with the same hex size should most likely do you right. Go to your local hobby shop for better advice. Hobby shops are a great source of information and can be a great community.

[@stephenpierce6716]

Great video and it was very imformative

[@Al3xisAE]

What’s up Stemp 👍🏻

[@neontetra1000]

If you are gonna put a screw in with an impact driver you should grease the screws or you will melt the plastic .

[@lukehuffman8655]

your skills are really improving kev keep up the good work :)

[@catchnc4131]

It works on the bigger wires. It just takes longer

[@kevinquinton9838]

cool thanx kev

[@peterrcbasher]

Cool video Kev

[@TK_Mo]

Kev, do you have a harbor freight in the UK? Here they sell a brand labeled Hercules and it reviews very favorably, compairs well to the Dewalt. Also Kev, no need to go to the gym, by the looks of your biceps 💪, the weight of your hands is a good starting point. I'm teasing!

[@sergioquen1607]

Wow, i think that's super koo that u and Stemp been friends that's long. How long have u known Pat?

[@eM4rio]

great video!!! more like this plz !

[@bloopsh6869]

Loved the video kev :)

[@lairdjohn]

Good tips.

[@masontindall5316]

When I saw that wire hack at the end my jaw dropped. I've been wasting wire for years

[@jaybee16g]

Have you ever put an fpv system on any of your rigs?

[@STEVOD313]

U should’ve added some seconds for the time it takes u to use the hand drills n then securing the screw with the hand drivers

[@THE_REAL_MAZDA_302]

What are your thoughts on the traxxas summit? Havent seen any videos of that. I just got one for 40 bucks.

[@cozmolives]

Test out your MO 94 vs nothing vs WD40?! Coat some arms and try to break them in a vise?!

[@temper7269]

Great vid

[@codysallander407]

U should make one on what u take with u on ur bashing fun

[@michaelschnall4020]

thanks

[@speeddemon123555555]

MIP make the best 3 pack of bits..add a $10 electric cordless hyper tough screwdriver from walmart...PERFECT..ALL IN $45

[@SebastianLong]

Magnetic bits/drivers for me are 50% or more of the time are useless for me unfortunately. I try to use stainless hardware cause I use my RCs in water a LOT. Lol

[@jaypearce6199]

Are you anywhere near upwood military base Kev? Staying with relatives for a few days and faniced a bash.. i messaged Steve but no reply yet.. cheers dude

[@burn1gotbeats]

I been searching don’t you have a video for when dog bones keep popping out using like earplugs in the drive cups or something?

[@ramsandrzr3706]

I coat my whole car with wd40 then hit it with the air gun it helps clean the car and also lubricant any moving parts very commonly used in rc car racing. Don’t know how much it’s gonna do with making the plastic more flexible.

[@DanielKezar]

dont use a power drill for most screws on hobby stuff because you can break it. better slow than sorry

[@rcgeek2513]

i use that bosh drill

[@tbg9563]

Be careful with impact driver it is very powerful could easily strip out threads and screws.

[@kaimcdonald2460]

Gen you please do more burnout videos

[@KevinTalbotTV]

yeh man

[@sebastienbisier8030]

You only use the Allen key right in the last 3 seconds😅

[@michaelhorio4046]

nice.

[@barrywilliams2008]

Hey Kevin i know this is off the subject of this video slightly but my daughter needs a cheap combo set up i was thinking goolrc 3500kv 65A esc some of the combos come with a programme card is that really needed cheers pal or if you are unsure could you ask Steve please many thanks Barry

[@markwatkinson4440]

I just got a 3000 and something kv 45 amp goolrc system and if you don't have the programme card it comes on stock settings which are 100% throttle, 50% brake and 50% reverse The only problem I had at first that money had half throttle if I turned the controller on first so if you get it and it's only half throttle try turning the car on first

[@barrywilliams2008]

@@markwatkinson4440 That's brill thanks for that Mark much appreciated bud i have the traxxas rustler vxl my daughter has the xl5 id version but now her brushed titan is shot and thay want £30 for a brushed titan but the goolrc for £30 and i can upgrade her to brushless for the same price i had to ask theres £30 goolrc no card uk but £36 with card China and wasnt sure if it was really needed with them cheers bud :)

maybe less alcohole ??? for me that works great lol

[@ZippityDippity]

I've been using the Dewalt 610 for a couple of years now around the house and mostly on my RC stuff. I set it on 1 or 2 and hand tighten the rest of the way if needed. Goofy vid but it gets the point across.
