Traxxas XRT Weaknesses

[@krazicanuck9045]

Who else watched this on rumble the day before??

[@EnduroPow]

Not me

[@DroidzandBrix]

What?

[@alistairclark6814]

Nope

[@SackOfPotatoes204]

uhh no

[@jokr7818]

No. And why would you look at it twice?

[@cmorlok]

Bought 2 Traxxas Slash 4x4vxl’s about 6 months ago as a start to the hobby for my son and I. Paid $425 each for them. With normal usage (ZERO huge jumps or skate parks ) I’m into both cars nearly $500 IN PARTS. Replaced everything on both cars except the speed controllers and servos. Not a cheap hobby. Just the other day I was pondering with a coworker wether or not if guys who buy a $1000 RC like this come out better OR did they buy a 1000 car & still wind up replacing everything like I did? Having 2 of them means every time we have a failure I go ahead and buy the upgrade for both cars. Adds up quick I tell you. Love your content Kevin 👋🏼

[@y0wl0o64]

super late lol but. I have had my max for 6 months doing huge jumps skateparks beaches etc. a-arms drive shafts is the only thing I have to replace. Well the esc aswell but everyone swaps those because the maxx ones are trashy

[@trife74]

Armma everything’ is better !!! Those Traxxas tires nooooo good as always !.

[@Suspicious_Moai]

6:16 you have a whole list 🤣

Kev is the part number for the steel pinion TRX6481X

[@bibibibinasir9675]

Close to 2m kev!! Nice!

[@thatman84]

For £1200 I would never expect to have to upgrade it. Is crazy to me

[@henrywood5462]

Yeah my Kraton 6s is half the price and I can bash it as hard as I want and it won’t break with out upgrading it

[@marktsarenko3943]

@@henrywood5462 exactly why it’s better

[@TheLunnyBear]

I mean most probably wouldn't, look at the abuse it's been given

[@KevinTalbotTV]

You don’t have to upgrade, I want to

[@marktsarenko3943]

@@KevinTalbotTV I mean if you want it to be a weak £1200 car then sure you can leave it as it is

[@johnnymckissick2735]

Blows my mind how tough RC cars have gotten!

[@mojofilter96]

I just love watching these videos. Great to see all your mates loving life. Stay young guys!!!!

[@jesperlehmann4336]

These Are my favorite video's - take a car or truck thats broken, upgrade it and go race or Bash 💪👍🇩🇰

[@BenBartlow]

I'd love to see your annual parts invoice assuming you pay for everything you use

Max gives zero shits! Kev 2.0 🤣

[@justonjacoby4455]

NICE upgrades On the XRT Kevin...I always enjoy watching your videos Kevin..Thanks again man

[@DynoDaPlayer]

Another day another good vid

[@carlosmagñaJr1974]

Awesome video Kevin Talbot you are awesome from the United States bro

[@reujohndoolarchan3690]

hmmmm

[@pascalmuller1258]

Looks Like we have some Mark Rober music going in👀👍

[@-BoNEz]

Loving the edit on this video

[@Aschefr]

Man, you are so entertaining, your videos makes me smile ! I'm actually getting back in the hobby !

[@stevethurow1559]

Have you ever thought of building an RC from known good parts, be they RC manufacturer or aftermarket to see if it’s cheaper to build it right from the get go?

[@tiraandwathsala]

Love from Sri Lanka ❤️‍🔥😇🇱🇰

[@Barncat01]

M2C for the win again!!! You just can't beat ole mitch's parts! Every part I've ever got from M2C has been amazing!!!

[@valentingarampon3679]

Xmaxx’s still the king ✌🏼

[@romeoraduu]

For sure indeed

[@guitarzzero]

KT, for tyres I ended up using MadMax 5ive-T beadlock mini pins, (stick 5ive-T tyres will work as well), w/duct tape on the inside. A bit smaller, but no ballooning or de-gluing. Also went with a Reefs 1/5 scale servo, which did require some chassis mods, but well worth it.

[@sunnyvale104]

That was a good Wip that you gave it

[@julianwillems2295]

Veryy nicceee video! :D. But what is the background music named at: 3:48 and 4:55 and at 8:02? I want that music for my video's two :D. The car and the upgrades are also insane (but expensive😅)!!!

[@rcandlegos]

That 3D printed wing mount was printed in the wrong orientation. It should have been printed vertically so it won't rely on the layers to hold it together.

[@DidouSchol]

Broke the pinion gear on the second run after unboxing. Shopping for parts as I'm typing this.

[@diogocarlos1]

Nice modifications for extreme bushing 👍😂

[@RHarwood30]

The vents on the bottom are for venting the servo, the Traxxas ones are very weak and crap out easily.

[@ncboneoutdoors7775]

Been waiting on this video!!!!

[@richduperbash2966]

Awesome stuff Kev 😱. The time we spent testing the M2C HDP payed off 😍. No more busted bell cranks!!! The 8s Backflips with +15mm hexes are absolutely perfect on her. Killer upload Brother 🍻

[@waleedhaider9657]

Thanx for ol yuor video and Thanx for ol yuor frends and yuor grop ser 🇰🇼

[@Wltoys]

Nice Video Kev! also good luck vs Tomley, can't wait for that video!

[@wildgoobsid5]

You guys are hilarious doing all the stuff the rest of us regulars wish we could do.

[@cameronwilliams1076]

[@88davidw]

I love these bash videos. Makes me want to go out with my cars!

[@kayavilleneuve]

Great video Kev! 😄

[@willmoore5550]

The $1k price tag makes this video even better.

[@jamesvangemert5641]

Fyi perfect pass servo is programmable. Rebrand AGF servo.

[@averylooper5534]

WOW!! AWESOME bash ! I cant believe you landed some of those!! What a fun day!! Thanks for punishing the parts! M2CHDP for the win!! Wingmount in testing now, chassis brace in design phase. Coming soon!

[@thugaliciousSHAK]

the hole inte bottom is for airflow so the servo doesnt overheat

[@ir0nm4id3n]

And for little rocks so they dont get stuck between the steering assembly

[@bobbygrinns3003]

Pay $1000, limited to upgrades in chassis, it is like a cheap hotel 0 ball room. The pin hinges on arms pop out/bend, tires blow up, drivetrain rips apart completely(hw ESC installed).... I sent it back for a full refund. $1000 usd and the thing is garbage. Engine back came off.... WORST RC EVER FOR THE $, JUST LIKE XMAXX. Made for the little man copping with small man syndrome. Words of wisdom, Traxxas is excellent 3s down, I own 4. Anything bigger go else where or have deep pockets. All the extra things Kevin does are necessary for longevity/durability of a Traxxas 6s+, after spending the $1000 dollars on the rig. Your at 2k easily for batteries and charger, tires, new electronics (cause Traxxas electronics belong in a dumpster past 3s) and than all the extra money to buy parts to even fit the new electronics. It's a nice way to say "welcome to the family, your gonna have to buy your way out."

[@wesleylaflin857]

Cranky mate, belted tires 😊

[@henrytrampel8994]

Great video as always Kev.

[@eprc7585]

[@skywalk3x]

Does anyone know where to get the jingle. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. Lol I love it I want use it for a ringtone. Come on Kevin!!!

[@mrghost4509]

The front and rear upper bulkheads are a weak point as well. I had to replace mine after 4 battery packs. Wasn’t happy about that.

[@Edhunter7082]

I been thinking about getting one they look pretty good I love my Xmaxx

[@TheElbrasso]

It would be sick if you had your own piece of land! You could build some awesome jumps, track, crawler course etc!😊

[@mrbiscuitmemes]

Can you please do a review on the ftx outlaw ultra 4??? 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@justhatguy_4634]

love it kev, keep up the good work!

[@michaelesterberg6639]

You previously used XT90 connectors. Why did you switch?

[@jayputters615]

Wish xrt was 4x4 it should have been from the get go thats why i stick with my slash 4x4 vxl 70+ mph best basher out there in my opinion

Link to the drill bits used in this video please?

[@oldgeezer6470]

Kev , I"d love to see you build an RC that would be Kevin Talbot approved! Truly would be epic to see you design something that could hit the market.

[@MrSilverfish12]

This is basically a whole new version of the XRT. Call it the XRT Pro

[@EpicGammaray]

Proper muppet laugh that was 🤣 These type of videos are the best, Kev. I love em. My wallet, not so much.

[@AtradiesInc]

Could you make a jumper thats really good at jumping and better at landing with like quadcopter parts. It don't have to fly just cushion the landing

[@alsharif09]

Make a vid about the new rustler vxl 2wd please

[@lanyburnett7966]

What kind of pinion and spur do you use Kev? Mine do strip a lot!

[@FCWW87]

My favorite part is how you did all those upgrades and didn’t get a single mph gain. That had to hurt just a little.

[@cowboyross]

Awesome video Kev, 😁👍🏿

[@jaime8174]

Is niiiiice. I still think Xmaxx is best as you can thrash it out the box.

[@ello3202]

at 3:31 did anyone notice the mark rober music?

[@thebackyardairgunner8776]

seems like xmaxx is still the way to go

[@PrizelTatzeRC]

Definitely, the XRT only came for the Christmas business:-)

[@avgasandcopwatch]

like a real car with power these will self destruct out of the box if you are too rough on em took me one helion animus bell housing rebuild to never wanna get back into it

[@Onb3k3nd3]

good music choice :)

[@WoodsUnknown]

Hey Kevin what do you use for a camera?

[@superaidenproductions1870]

When did u get another savage xl? I see a original 5.9 with the Terra pin tires and the blue body, next to the octane under the desk

[@fleshrose]

Hey Kevin watched you used scooter wheels before have you ever thought about roller derby wheels probably about the same size as some rc car wheels only stronger may I suggest rollline gladiator

[@therccelebrityspeedfresh5393]

I just clocked mine up at 65mph my battery’s cell was bad that’s why it wouldn’t go 60mph because one of your batteries cells is bad if it shows puffed up. Yeah no good. Time for a new battery

[@chunkbot]

TIL servo testers are a thing... that seems REALLY useful

[@lukas_v7198]

This vid looks sooo sick like every time 🔥🔥💪💪. I watch many videos from your channel and it's sooo fun😁😁🔥. I want to ride an RC car for sooo long but it's soo expensive for a good one🙃. KEEP GOING WITH YOUR CHANNEL!!🔥🔥
