Kevin Talbot is one of the KZbinrs that Push the Limits and show the limits of RC Car so we don’t get disappointed

He is a great promoter of aftermarket companies and parts. That is his area in the industry. He destroys OEM parts and then boom boom upgrade, upgrade, Christmas every day!

[@harryblox760]

​@mattster197 So many other people and channels just hate him for doing what he wants to do whilst giving advice like you said. A lot of those smaller companies probably wouldn't be as accessible without seeing him get parts and use them.

[@BA0701]

Kev was the driver behind my first XMaxx, my wife purchased it for me for Christmas. I still have that truck, and for any upgrades I might put on it, nothing major gets installed unless it has first been Kev tested, Kev approved. I know he's definitely put it through the paces.

[@itstough3543]

Youre channel has been one of the best things i would have ever thought of for spending time with my kids. My son talks about u like your his friend at school. He will tell me " dad, the xmaxx is just the best and toughest, Kev even said its his favorite!" He refers to things we've seen in your videos exactly as it happened even months later. Were working on saving up for an xmaxx cuz he wants to bash and tumble wumble just like kev. Hes gonna wanna send u video of him bashing n ask if hes doin it right.. 😅 thanks for all u do Kevin

[@s109apache7]

Can we just appreciate the amount of money and time and effort Kevin puts into these vids thanks kev😊

[@Onb3k3nd3]

a channel this big makes money not spend money

[@atourdeforce]

I dont thinkg you realise the thousands and thousands in parts and vehicles that rc companys throw at him week in week out. he literally doesnt need to spend a penny, even if he wasnt making hundreds of thousands from youtube.

[@s109apache7]

That may be true but he still does put a lot of effort into the vids even if he doesn’t spend much at times

[@atourdeforce]

@@s109apache7 So would you if you were getting hundreds of thousands a year from it to be fair. Like if were being real here.

[@KevinTalbotTV]

i buy 99% of the stuff just like everybody else. Even my monster truck isn't sponsored its all paid for by me, and I put 100k into my channel before i made anything back. You can tell what channels are sponsored as they never say anything bad about a particular brand, like rc saylors for example never say anything bad about a horizon product but are happy so say bad stuff about Traxxas, so its very easy to tell who is sponsored and by what brand. You'll see me show good and bad about all brands, no matter who. So before making stuff up maybe get your facts straight first

[@smaknjdapimp]

Hey Kevin. Could be the cold making the plastic brittle. I try to avoid playing in the cold. But we got your great videos to watch when it’s too bad to be outside. Love your videos Kev. Keep up the good work 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@extec101]

havent tested it yet but heard that its good for the cars to spray them down with muck off bike protect, that will make the plastic softer standing harder bashing and stand the cold better.

[@rc-fannl7364]

Low temps really can do a number on plastic indeed. Though in this case it probably only means the car breaks sooner, breaking it was inevitable, right?

[@hawley13]

he knows it and capitalizes on it because breaking them gets views that why he intentionally drives them like shit till they break. that very last wreck was completely on purpose to generate view even if its hate or love it gets him views and he knows this

[@extec101]

@@hawley13 that seems to be the case as kevin otherwise would be like the other YTers that makes reviews of the cars and do a little bit of light driving. kevin goes all out brakes and fixes the cars and probably none of them is shelf queens.

[@extec101]

@@rc-fannl7364 depending on quality of the plastics they tend to behave verry different in cold as i seen with my xray buggy that the xray medium hard plastic gets brittle when temperatures gone realy low down around +8-10 degrees celsius while xray hard plastic handle the cold better and the plastic dont get brittle in the same way as the medium quality does. traxxas plastic handles coold quite good but i seen chassie tubs the gray plastic ones when frinds bashed in skate parks in freezing cold like kevin does that degraded to a point of geting brittle and delaminated sort of almost like uv degraded white mealy plastic seen on old outdoor furniture cooked by the sun.

[@unixicanediz]

You gotta love kev dude, I’ve never seen a rc channel making the worlds fastest off-road rc car, one of the best indoor buggy’s, and possibly the fastest rc car, his attitude is awesome, and he spends money just to make us enjoy it, thanks kev

[@jamess7372]

ive been watching this dude for years and i dont even have a rc car. lol i bought one for my son when he started watching with me and we just enjoy watching

[@two3fpv]

I realize Kev makes bucks from all of this but damn, that was like several thousand wasted in an instant (between all of the trucks and their upgrades). And you can't blame Traxxas for really any of those, it was freezing temps, we know from the ice the kid slipped on, and smacking them on pavement with no tire to absorb the shock, I wouldn't have expected any less. I cannot get enough of these videos, they are getting me through this winter. Thank you Kev, you are my favorite basher on YT!!

[@KevinTalbotTV]

thanks bro glad you like the vids!!

[@trossbossinit]

It's obvious you surround yourself with good people, and you're a gem yourself! Never change, Kev! Much love from the states

[@FarmerFpv]

I think you're right about the plastic on the chassis. My original chassis that came with my XMAXX lasted 3 years before it cracked. When I replaced it I have since replaced 2 chassis in a year. Something is off about the material. I know it's not the cold weather cause it doesn't get under 60 degrees here during the day.

[@darrellgThe704]

Kevin Saying Peace from the U.S Columbus Ohio! The first RC truck I had was back in 77’ 78’ until I saw your channel I would’ve never got back into the sport! I have my 2 Favs MAXX and a RUSTLER! If you get rid of the 8s MAXX I want it!

[@WIPEYOURLENZ]

You know what I would love you to try. See if buying all the parts for an X-Maxx separately is cheaper than just buying one then build from scratch 🤔

[@jamesplymire5342]

It's much cheaper to buy it RTR. RC companies make a lot off replacement or upgrade parts. I love building RCs but I have spent more from buying each part. 😢

[@Rc_cars5]

Like say perching an xrt out of part it would be around $2,000

[@J_M_RC]

[@medscott2]

The cold weather just made the plastic more susceptible to breaking Kev.

[@3SonsRC]

Xmaxx plastics or plastics in general you know go BOOM in the Cold

[@julianguard8200]

The reason the plastic is breaking so easy is because it's cold it makes the plastic brittle. Julian. A fan

[@Whyusemyname]

I found this out the hard way. Kept breaking proline raid 5.7 wheels which were mounted to MX57’s so not cheap. I thought they were absolute garbage until I tried them in warmer weather and they were virtually indestructible on a 35 lb. Kraton 8s. Anything below 50F they’re about as durable as a wine glass though.

I have had the same rustler for 6 years. Mostly because i can't afford another one. You guys break cars like crazy.

[@volvo09]

It's not a big deal if you break it, it's like $5 to $100 in parts if you break one part, or have a catastrophic crash. I drove my buggy into a car tire in a parking lot and snapped it in half just like that. It was a $30 repair. Some people just like wrenching on RC's, and pushing the limits and breaking stuff is what gets you wrenching... The car isn't ruined as long as it's a hobby grade car, every part is available to purchase. I took it easy on my bandit, but I still had to fix it quite a few times from worn out parts, to logs i didn't see, a friend crashing into me, a failed jump, and on and on... Especially after I went brushless!

Would the shoe-goo and drywall mesh tape trick work to stop the tyre expansion/explosion issue? Smear a load of the goo round the inside of the tyre and run 2 or 3 layers of tape into it maybe? Obviously it'd need to be an even spread to avoid creating wheel balance issues.

[@dieseldabz7104]

cold probably didn't help any but i bet it hitting to flat on the bare wheel sent way to much shock through everything.

Should put some rubber tubing on the bottom of the shock shafts, the length determined by about 1/4" or so longer from the chassis touching the ground. Will drastically help save the shocks and chassis when landing from hard jumps. Limit straps would be a wise choice also, saves CV's and shocks.
