That was a gnarly crash. I think it deserves another chance as far as durability.

Cheers kevin for having a play with a small section of my rtr hard case range. More to come more to come! I know you like powerrrrrrrr Team onyx

[@jhansen6180]

I really don’t understand the people who buy these types of RCS. The parts availability is good money first come out but then after a year if it doesn’t sound good, you’re out of luck. And also that’s a lot of money you could buy a used X max for that much.

Been waiting for this one Kev! Looks like a good truck! Maybe finally a company is making a real 7075 chassis? The lamppost was really brutal though, in my opinion no one should take that as a durability test yet, but we will see. With a few upgrades this could be amazing.

[@kerrywalker2179]

I grabbed a roller and threw in a legit HW max6 1650 combo and I love it, for what it is. My only complaint is the body is made of very brittle plastic. Basically only gorilla tape and edging holding the back half of mine together. Needs reinforcements for sure. Working on that, but honestly it’s more of a novelty. I bash more with my other trucks that are made for it. Light truck and it jumps great, just have to land properly…every time. Looks awesome!

[@droberts573]

[@thebruh2777]

Hey Kev, I'd love to see another video featuring the cheap Rovan gas RC car from a couple years ago, there's nowhere you really see something like that getting the Talbot test. I feel like the metal chassis on the Rovan would be much stronger than others due to the top bracing forming a sort of tub shape. Maybe take it out in a price comparison video to other gas RC cars? Thanks!

[@keithpowell4664]

Best video in a while Kev, back to the Older style. Really enjoyed that!

[@Kyle_R_Wolfe]

From my experience with zd racing and breaking the plastic A arms like that. I've found it's not the plastic. It's the hinge pins bending easily and when they bend they break the plastic. I order better metal pins from different racing cars and make them work. Helped a ton

[@Kyle_R_Wolfe]

What I had was the pirates3 1/8 scale buggy.

[@estegerset]

Yep, all the pins and screws are made of chinesium

[@Plump_Nick]

I’ve been going thru ALOT this last week. Watching your videos helps me to forget about everything for a little bit so thank you 🙏🏾

[@bigkennyg.621]

Hey Kevin my son and I are starting to get into RC in part because of your videos he was blown away by your 205mph attempts ( his jaw dropped when I showed him the video) and you are absolutely right getting into this hobby is an absolute blast and it’s helping get me out of the funk I’ve been in for the past year. the bigger trucks in this video look like an absolute blast, for us due to space constraints we are doing smaller scale 1/18 & 1/16 scale and are going out for our first rip today ( slash/Teton & bronco) so far I have meet the friendliest people😁 keep sending them to the moon 🤣

[@bronxsavage1641]

Welcome to the hobby, it's an amazing super fun activity to get into... You mentioned the 1/16 scale type, which is a good way to get into it. I would check out the hyper go line or hosim 1/16. They are really good durable little cars. And only $150 or less on Amazon

[@mlikyz]

Check out wltoys as well

[@bustedaw11]

Hey buddy with the Teton remember coda racing sold on Amazon. I've used a good deal of thier parts on our teton and they are absolutely great parts and don't cost much. Biggest issues I've had are the axles (upgraded to coda racing aluminum) and arms breaking (get the RPM arms). The diffs aren't shimmed well so if you have any problems with diffs you tube how to shim em. Aside axles and arms ours has been great. Welcome to the hobby, its great 👍

[@brsrc759]

Always drop what you're doing when kev uploads

[@timetokillslapp]

Nah currently I'm dropping a poop in the toilet

[@DustinDIY]

I think that was the worst possible crash. So other than the body, I think it looks good durability wise. With the way it is tuned. I would say it is more of a really rough wooded area and mud basher. The suspension and slow but strong steering and brakes makes me think that is the area to really find out how good it is.

[@ppgedez]

[@daviddillon6794]

[@JamesS777]

Love the ZD racing brand, I have 3 for the price of one name brand! I can't afford Arma or Traxxas. I've never had that much trouble getting parts. They take a pretty good sh@t kickin'. Good speed, good jumps, my dog chases and bites it, smashes it and tosses it around everywhere. **You need to shim the play in the diff shafts on all ZD or you will smoke the centre diff or diffs. The only time I killed one is when I misjudged and ran into a soccer post like Kev. If you run directly into something over half speed it will break. It can cartwheel pretty dang good without sbapping. I'm very happy with my ZD racing toys and my dog loves them too!

[@wylinout2257]

As soon as I saw the tumble wumble down the stairs I knew this will get the proper Kevin Talbot test 👍🔥

[@lifeofdave1237]

I thought it looked great, shocks were awesome and looked to cushion the landing beautifully. I think the impact was pretty tough going and could have been unlucky to break it, and could have possibly broken many other make rc's. Maybe a re test once rebuilt. For me I think slightly over priced for what you get comparing to the arrma and xmaxx, but looks a fairly good car.

[@FarmerFpv]

Hey Kev you have your program wire for your program box reversed in the ESC the same thing happens to me until I reverse the switch and flip it the other way into the ESC it'll work it takes a couple of seconds but it will once you plug it in it has to collaborate hope this helps

[@martintaylor984]

If this was a 4-500 dollar car I would buy it all day long. But i bash hard and like being able to run to the hobby shop 10 minutes away and get what I need and not only that, I take a lot of my cars camping with me and like being able to get parts at any local hobby store.

I just got a roller for $399 on Amazon...

[@Boogie_the_cat]

I don't have any local hobby shops. We had one for 6 months, then it went under and is now a pet food shop. So I can't get RC parts, but I can find tons of dog cakes, rawhide chews and freeze dried monkey butts, or whatever the hippies feed their pets these days.

Welcome aboard!

[@dyna.]

You might be able to use the smaller hobbywing program card that comes with esc's, that one somehow supports more esc's. For example on my kraton 8s the bigger one you use in this video doesn't work, but the smaller one that comes with esc's does. You just have to ignore the settings on the program card as they might be different but just check the manual which should have a table with the settings for that specific esc, so use that instead.

[@extec101]

im thinking its a china version of a HW 6S ESC and is the problem that a HW program card dont work. bought a conrad gt6 radio and it looks just like a flysky gt5 but display and setings is not the same.

On a serious note Kev. I would consider redoing your course to encapsulate e commerce . No money for stock upfront required. There’s a guy online that sells framed pictures. The buyer buys it from his store and the printers print and ship the item! Amazing. He never touches the picture.

[@davidsadventures4868]

Well the other guys X-,MAXX was taking the hits pretty well. The car that you had Kevin did almost a few of the same jumps as the X-MAXX but it took the damage. For example, at the skate park both the RC cars jumped and hit the pole. Your car took a ton of damage while the X-MAXX had very minimal damage after hitting the pole and bouncing off then landing on its wheels. Kevin that car you have is still awesome and you have not yet had any problems with the chassis yet and the wheels look very nice as well as the body. The whole car in general looked nice.

[@0397rb]

[@graphicalsolutions1899]

Steering seems to have some delay/lag. Seems unstable when braking, or is it the setting? €668 on sale(?) on Banggood is quite expensive i think. I got a Fireteam for €80 more and that one's a killer rig.

[@Pablo668]

Kev! You forgot to smash the bell!!! Yeah as I've seen some say oniline, the price of this thing is in 2nd hand Xmaxx territory, make of that what you will. It was doing ok until it hit that post. Perhaps it just depends on how far you push your trucks.

[@muskokamike127]

I thought the steering looked a little slow on the bench but I have to wonder if they de-tuned the esc to help with longevity. It does look like it needs some adjustment on the steering brakes and acceleration. But seriously, driving a basher full tilt boogie into a lamp post? Yeah, I don't know that any of the other brands would have survived.

[@rcmadlabz2492]

The steering has a bit of play that can be fixed for free. This causes some binding. Check my vid on the Mx-07.

I've had mine a bit over a year and I'm on bulkhead 10, 6 lower arms and 5 rear diff pinions. Most of which on 6S. Haven't broken a chassis yet though.

Hi Kev, watched you for a couple of years but this car has inspired me to message with a challenge......this car seems to have the most extreme breaks I've seen ( might be just me but the breaks seem the most extreme) but my challenge to you is, sometimes you see motocross or off road stunt riders who do a jump and then land on the front wheel and continue an endo for 30meters or so, and it's only possible with a very strong front break to allow the pivot and ballance on the front? Not sure if this makes sense if you have never seen it happen but if you have seen it you'll know exactly what I mean, never seen it done with an rc car, you could be the 1st to do it with an rc car so you get to name the stunt?
