Hi Kevin - my son Ollie (5 yrs) wants me to pass on to you that he loves your channel. he is learning so much about RC cars and would spend hours watching your videos (if I let him). he calls you 'tumble wumble' - well, we all do. thanks for having such a fun channel. More power to you! - Mel

[@mattster197]

Yeah you love him watching Kev until he shoots it thru the front window trying to jump the house or the car or something else stupid lol. Most people cant afford all the parts he adds and don't drive their stuff so hard. Wait til your kid wants you to order all those M2C upgrades for him. LMAO

Those upgrades for shocks are metal top not plastic and oil filled plus got to ask were do you get all the cars and spare parts and all new upgrades also you more worried about the battery strap when it's all weight on the one side if you fitted the battery's both sides or match the weight then the cars will fly and land better but then you just abuse all your cars bit of sad thing why you break and not to test the parts you just break and wreak cars that us people can't afford so can't you do something good for change give or raffle of all the broken cars and trucks how you get all brand new stuff delivered who pays if its sponsored then wow least get Kevin to Test all parts

For dual batteries, use a strong velcro tape on each battery to velcro them together, and use them on all your dual battery setups. It will keep them together like a block. Then weak straps/loose trays are less of a problem! 💪🏼

3:02 The spreading plyers work but I've always found that the right size flat head screwdriver works perfectly, stick it between the area you want to spreed and twist it it will open it right up and it will hang there by its self freeing up both hands making it much easier to put the part in place.

[@dalebaird3335]

The thing about those shock caps is you can set the rebound while bleeding. Try that. I run them with the pistons on my Kraton and just the shock caps on my TLR Typhon. They are nice!

[@Sheafs_RC]

I fitted the m2c pistons on the gtx shocks for my maxx, and it has completely changed the way it absorbs not only big landings but through the whoops and burmss

[@brei.z]

Yeah the m2c shocks on my kraton stop it bouncing after a big landing as it often flipped over after a perfect landing when it bouced back up

[@WernerWagener87]

strap both batteries together and run the upper strap beneath the secondary strap on the upper battery.

[@thepigeon3595]

For the battery tray, you could extend each side with metal plates then you can get the perfect height. You could rivet or screw the plates, if riveting 'sandwich' the plastic between two metal plates. I used 'sandwiching' on my arrma front bumper, no issues at all

[@grimuk3817]

You are awesome, Kev. U make my heavy mind chuckle. I thank you.

Kev, you should look into a 3d printer to print out parts like a custom battery tray to fit those 8s LiPos

[@graemebaker-henderson390]

Just had a thought about the battery box and I think you could get away with 3d printing it. That way you could make it whatever size you wanted. There are lots of easy to use design software and the prints should be strong enough if you made it solid. PLA or PETG would probably be strong enough but there is also carbon fibre infused PLA and PETG.

[@Michael_964]

[@lorditsprobingtime6668]

For the batteries, put a strip of the prickly side of velcro on both batteries where they meet. They will lock solidly together as long as you keep them strapped tightly down onto each other.

[@christyfrederick5501]

I'm 7 I love your videos

[@VneedsSpeed]

@6:19 either get the bottom box and attach it upside down through the strap to hold the battery in, or 3d print a tall rectangle shield on either side and makes the battery box taller. Make sure that you can bolt it into the side of the bottom box with flush flat cap screws so the bottom battery still fits regularly.

[@jaybomb5022]

Hey Kev use a second strap like ARRMA does with the fireteam. It will hold the battery vertically and horizontally.

[@robambrose4199]

He's like:"boom!" No messing about.

[@robambrose4199]

Well, apart from all the messing about, obviously

For the battery tray, you can try plastic welding another battery tray with the bottom removed, onto the one in the car.

[@AWL-VDV]

one solution for the battery tray would be 3d printing a new one because i doubt that many places make them.

[@CraigTinson2015]

Another great video.. lol.... have you tried any projects building a 3D Printed RC car? I can't find any in all your videos... would be fun to see your approach to it!

[@muskokamike127]

to stop it from bottoming out, stiffer springs kevin......the dampers just reduce the spring bounce.....because you're so hard core, I'd get some longer springs and make variable rate....open coils at the bottom then tighter at the top. How you mod them is compress half the spring, then heat it up, the spring steel will keep the "memory".

[@SCKB]

Hey Kevin, I would just grab some extremely strong industrial strength stick on Velcro Strips and use them in between the Tray and the Battery as well as both Batteries too. Then either use the strap you have already, a Stainless Steel Cable Tie, or a thin Webbing Strap Dog Collar to wrap around the whole thing width ways… not length. The last option is to grab some waterproof Foam and cut it to the shape of the Battery Tray. Do a few sheets to place one between the Tray and the Battery, between both Batteries, and then the last on top of the Batteries. Use the Velcro Strap as you had it before, but also grab a second one to wrap width ways under the Tray and over the Battery Stack. Stay Safe!… Stay Well!… Stay Positive! Stewart

[@brianlangford7278]

I highly recommend you try pure tech xtrem battery straps,can be cut in middle for longer batterys,only one we use

Get a dremel. You can make modifications like fitting the strap way easier. ALSO You might be able to attach two straps to the side wall of the battery tray by cutting a small slot with a rectangle and looping the velcro strap under that blue aluminum support

[@carsonsrcs7813]

If you get another strap you can put it coming from the sid of the batteries and it will keep them supported from the sids and both ends.

[@BuddyBuilt]

[@MadazzaMusik]

You could possibly use cling film or shrink wrap to hold the batteries in

[@davidchork]

Wow very good

[@Thejwh4323]

I ran two Velcro straps under the battery tray to hold them in side to side. You may have to Dremel out some channels on the underside to get the tray to sit flush.

[@lukefighter1323]

what if you Velcroed the batteries together? Just a suggestion

[@Venus-yw3bz]

Great Vid Kev!

[@metalbrony2012]

Instead of one long strap going lengthwise down the battery tray I just ran 3 smaller straps going the other way. Just screw the battery tray down over top of them to hold them in place. It's worked wonders on my sledge:)

[@daanzoomer2997]

Hey kev love your channel been a fan for a long time you def sparked up my love for the hobby again so i bought the maxx and xmaxx because why not lol now i was wondering how would you suggest you set up the shocks of both of them because i have no clue on how and what the effects on it are

[@jakeydeefpv]

For the battery issue what I would do is keep the velcro that you have keep the strap and then have two going around both of the batteries not lengthwise but widthwise. You got to make sure that they are going over the strap that is going the length of the batteries they will have a little bit of play but they won't go flying out ever. I don't know if this makes sense
