Idiot Builds and tries racing a pro RC Car

[@estern001]

It was worth your time. I'm an old man. We built our RC cars. RTR was for kids. I still think I enjoy building them a little more than running them. Thank you!

[@leemollison7508]

Pre-assembled cars are soulless clones, no different to each other. Building them infuses them with character! 😎

[@Shauny_D]

Gees I have no business or budget to get into rc cars but your love of life and "christmas everyday" attitude makes me want to take part in the fun and joy of it. Thanks for not taking life too seriously and promoting undiluted fun!

[@MarcoAurelio-vi2wd]

Finally Team Associated on channel!!!

[@stpbasss3773]

You're not an idiot Kev, you're a master RC mechanic honestly. I have seen you do the most creative things when it comes to working on them or solving a problem. I am an early sub to you and I have learned pretty much everything from your videos, so much so that my friend has me do any work or fixes that he needs on his rigs.

[@rccarloverluxembourg718]

if it really was him who did itwith lots of time beside the camera, at home, then yeah, he did a great job. I do not trust TV too much

[@brownhousegas6585]

Your assembly and then racing videos are very inspiring! Like many other viewers you got me back into rc, you make wrenching so much fun. Love your vids kev, peace love and respect.

[@pinfarmer]

Always enjoy the energy and positivity you bring to your videos. Haven't touched my Xmaxx in a year but never miss a video.

I haven't been racing for a good few years, hearing that automated voice announcing the race brought back great memories :D

@@NewTrip_NewAdventure that’s unfortunate! One of the biggest permanent indoor 1:10th scale touring car venues had to close here in the UK a few years back, that was sad

Nice racing Kevin! The pressure was too much for the last race lol. Fun is the key word though

Hi

[@NeoIsrafil]

Oh yah, gotta love it. I drive a b74d, and naturally I love mine. Associated is unbelievable at design, their cars and trucks outperform LITERALLY EVERY other company's designs... which makes sense since they win just about every race everywhere. A joy to build too... and so tunable with the little block kit they use to adjust the shock and wheel angle. Dont mind me, im just too much a fanboy of them. If you prefer 4wd grab the b74c or d (depending on if you want to race carpet or dirt). Shes worth every dollar.

[@RazShifrin]

By far my favorite channel on YT!💪🏻💪🏻

[@KevinTalbotTV]

haha thanks broo!! still a bit behind mr breast

[@Rene_Traa]

Thanks for this vid. It shows that also driving a 'pro' car and doing 'serious' racing can put a big smile on your face! And that's what matters.

[@Garetschuurman7]

I personally use the MIP screwdrivers, they haven’t gotten worn out for me, but to each their own. Love the videos kev

[@malsmith2012]

Yep MIP are the gun!!

[@kynghype9715]

That beautiful amber glow..

[@johnyoung5377]

My MIP drivers are 30+ yrs old and still going. Still better than the china ones.

[@project-mk-ultra]

I was building Asso B6.4 week ago and it was a pure joy. I kinda relived step by step when I was watching this video . Great work

[@MatthewSimm]

I really enjoyed this dude, a change of pace haha but you seemed to be having fun! It makes me want to get back into racing haha 😄

[@KevinTalbotTV]

Racings fun when theres not any of the nasty people that shout at everyone

[@MatthewSimm]

@@KevinTalbotTV I totally agree dude! It's good to find a nice chill club and have fun

[@derekhobbs1102]

I've been to a couple of race meetings at Wilfred Taylor Reserve, just as a spectator, and it's hard to keep an eye on the cars at ground level.

[@abigailflores6152]

Kev, I started with only bashers and watched all of your videos. I’ve only recently got into carpet racing. Keep carpet racing videos with your B6.3 coming!

[@marinusk67]

Racing is fun , great build also. Could try you're front shocks more outside or the back once inside for more steering .

[@averagespaceEnjoyeruu]

ive loved this channel ever since i found it a little while ago, only trust worthy advice on rc cars!

[@ontariodoublex2713]

The amount of work and effort that goes into these videos! 💯

[@theogarcia3261]

I love the building parts and bashing. It's cool that you make like you want with the RC's

[@microbuilder]

Theyve come a long way from the old RC10 days, but it looks like their quality is still top-notch. I just got done repairing a Revo, Rustler, Amp MT, TC6.1 and now have to repair a few Armas (and the Revo, again)...I REALLY need to get a good set of hand tools, regular L-type allen wrenches are brutal on the fingers after a few hours.

[@2bobbillionaire306]

Biggest thing i notice at your RC club is they seem very relaxed and welcoming. I raced 1:10 TC back in the 2000s and found the worst part of racing was the people. Loved the sport but too many take it way too seriously and it takes the shine off it.

[@lukewestwood5778]

Another good video kev. Just what we needed. Need to get the bashers to come racing to keep the sport alive!

[@davidradu9673]

Keep up the good work kev. Best rc channel

[@rileymorris5661]

Nice to see you joining the racing gang!

[@Basherqueen]

Go Kev Go! Nice rig and lovely racing from you! 😍

[@wesleydonnelly2141]

Oh my goodness is it just me, or did anyone else experience a really satisfying feeling from the sounds of those plastic suspension rod/arm ball joints "clunking" into place/onto steel ball joints!? LOL. Really satisfying sounds!! LOL. Thanks for ace vid Kev! Wes, Liverpool UK.

[@allenbrunton3217]

Good laugh racing with you Kev, keep up the vids!

[@izaiahzavala386]

Awesome!! Thanks kev for the great new awesome video!😄

[@goreyboggs]

Even while filming videos your attention to detail is fantastic. Thanks for putting out great videos!

[@NANNIRC]

Hey Kev, this time the assembling is very detailed and the Asso for sure deserve it! Thank you

[@reconrc1787]

Your Boo-Boo band-aids crack me up. 😂

[@theAessaya]

Great video :) I absolutely love all the little sound effects you add in, and in general the editing/cutting style is very enjoyable!

[@TjRidesfb]

Please continue racing competitively its a blast to watch! Thank you!

[@RCtitan1]

Great video you can actually drive really good on a track very impressed and you’re inspiring me to get a A race car that I have to build and you inspired me to start a KZbin channel

[@generalmadness6832]

Love your videos they always make me happy I got a slash 4x4 for Christmas after watching all your videos about it I bought a vxl system and 3s lipo and it is amazing still puts a smile on my face 1 and a half years later

[@benjaminblakemore9704]

Fantastic video KEVIN 👌, man I'm so sick of the KEV haters Bro!!! You keep up the amazing example you set BRO 😎🙂😜❤️❤️🔥🔥❤️❤️👏👏👌👌

[@jocrp6]

I've always loved Team Associated stuff from a TC3 and RC10 GT I had years ago!

[@connerwendt7452]

Team Associated is a good brand kev, that’s what I race off road. Suggestion for more steering you might want to change your toe, or give it more toe out in your case. Great racing though!

[@tysemilicia3931]

Kev is a professional guys as u can tell from his latest builds 🤣

[@KevinTalbotTV]

🤣🤣

[@johncarley9272]

Your editing is phenomenal. Always enjoy the builds..

I only trust your car reviews kev, if I question any rc car I just find it on your channel and see I it’s good. I love the honest reviews

[@stpbasss3773]

He's the only one that truly pushes them to the limit. If it can survive him with minimal damage than it's a good RC.

Very very NICE..Kev your the beast RC WORK AND TESTING RC !! ☝️👐🤩

[@dwild2903]

I heartily congratulate you on your victories. I think you put yourself under too much pressure in the 3rd qualification. Relax more and do everything the same as in the first rounds, in terms of the inner feeling and so on... Was realy an incredible Video. I really like watching you. Greetings again from switzerland.👍👍👍👍👍💪😁☺✌✌🇨🇭

[@codygerogosian9306]

Great bit of editing there Kev,and ya can’t beat a good quality competition kit,good luck with the racing

[@petrmihaltian7160]

Me and my granddaughter love all your videos. Wish I could meet all of you one day.

[@KOL630]

Some crazy engineering goes into these little cars. Awesome.

[@TastierBackInThe80s]

A few years back, when I worked in a hobby shop, my experience was to have a set of wrenches for 1/10th or similar scale, then another for larger scale. We worked on HPI Bajas a lot. Where tools failed or lost their purchase/bite, was when they did double duty. Torquing up screws and bolts, on 1/5th scale models was different to smaller scale RCs. Especially when thread locking compound is added into the mix.

[@fartdonkey8290]

Defiantly do more racing, this was fun to watch.

Vinny is such a cool friend man cheers to you guys jolly good

Amazing video kev! Can't wait for your unboxing of the mt10. Keep up the good work man👍

[@mythical4539]

I've been looking forward to this video, amazing video keep up the good work 👍

[@seanbritt6694]

Kevin with as many cars as you build you need to invest in a Hudy vacuum chamber. Pulls all the air out of your oils. Examples are your shocks, diffs etc. In my opinion it saves time and is WAY more effective then the finger tap and set aside. Just my two cents worth.

[@williamwallace9427]

Seriously... such an entertaining KZbin channel. Always look forward to your videos Kevin!

[@mattyf1492]

Not gonna lie, woke up from a crummy nap, grumpy old- fart attitude, but opened up KZbin and saw the new video! Now I've got a smile from ear to ear ! Thanks Kev for the upload! Another great video! 👍

[@Shunshun604]

Top notch content. Bashing got me into the hobby but racing made me stay. Super entertaining editing also 👍

[@dustindegrand5735]

It would be awesome if most other cars had the option to build yourself. Like the Monster trucks, and Truggys. It sure would be beneficial for people to build the car, and know how everything works. I would love it!

Enjoyed this more than any other KT video I can remember watching.

[@estefanopassatore8150]

To avoid the tires to come loose from the wheels, I always do sandpaper the rim and the tire, then glue them forever. 👍👍👍

[@FLY2KO]

👍I started racing RC cars the same year the first true RC race buggy kit came out 1984 the Associated RC-10 and I bought one as soon as it was released, I had been as had most of the guys at the track had been racing tamiya grasshoppers which is so funny looking back on them mid- late 80s and the major evolution in RC racing and especially the 90s racing everywhere and awesome tracks everywhere it was RC Heaven.... I switched over to the JRX2 when it came out IN 88, I thought it looked better with the derlin parts and better a-arms it was a cooler car but it seems the RC-10 hasn't really changed that much after 38+ years on the market. I switched over to 1/8th gas in the mid 2000s and havent raced since 2015 due to more of a end of an era with everybody else gone and a new crowd of Racers unaware of the beginning of dirt off-road electric and how it went from zero to hero in just a few short years in the 80s...

[@EvanPonton]

That’s about par for course: do great in qualifying and then run the main like you've never been on track before, or vice versa! Lol, great video, really fun to watch you get back into racing!!!!

[@cramalnig]

Racing's great fun, I love it! Tough on RC's for sure. Great vid Kev.

[@riothero313]

I'd love to try it but, my eyesight is trash. Sad because my hand/eye is excellent. I play high level FPS on console and pc yet I don't think I'd be able to see the little bugger as well as I'd need to.
