Kevin I'm so freaking proud of how far you've come. So happy to see how much fun your having doing what you love to do. Keep up the great work.

When I first got into RC, Cliff Lett held the record at 88 mph. It’s pretty amazing how much time and work its been to go from 100 to 200..

[@mildtowildrc7343]

I still have my original Bandit that only did 30mph and lipo battery’s were not even used in rc yet😂Now I make boats over 100mph🤯

[@TheBod76]

I will completely be bummed out if I find out he didn't use a De Lorean to that record!

[@Chris-adams-rc-journey]

There is a guy called "slow rc mike" that has done 137 mph on 3S with an 1\8 scale car. Speeds are getting ludacris and I love it

I hope you guys get the record, but I enjoy that you have a "just a toy" enthusiasm with everything! Looks like a great bunch of people to go after a world record with.

Fantastic. This build was really impressive!!!!! Thanks for the support with my onyx packs Kevin. Looking forward to future team work with yourself.

You have an ABSOLUTE DREAM SHOP Big Bro!!!! My son and I love your channel!!! Tell Raz his channel is badass too!!

[@bossmanprezzie8923]

I can't believe how hard it is gor you guys to reach this milestone.. really shows how much of a challenge it is. The amount of trial and error is unbelievable hats off to you guys I really see the appeal to speed running now.. if it was just all out power and reaching the targets easily, nobody would do it lol

[@stripes7214]

"why'd you rev it up like that??" - "It's a toy!" Very well said kevin

[@TheCloudhopper]

Raz and Kev going for that record together is honestly the collab I was hoping for ever since i discovered Raz's channel.

[@QuinnsRC]

Very good idea to do the collab. I've been thoroughly entertained. With so many people getting more isolated, it's awesome that you are showing you and your channel reaching out and interaction with creators that some would consider competitors. Great job!

You sure?

[@QHG69]

last time i checked, in order to break the sound barrier you have to be going somewhere around 750MPH.

could the reason be turbulence created by driving so close to the tires on the side of the track?

[@marcokoehler5020]

Cause aerodynamics are more important than power. There could be done quite a lot more. Give the tires internal housings or find a more Streamline body

[@bill7124]

Awesome attempt! Having worked on prototype cars in the 80's may I suggest cutting out the louvres on the front wheel wells. That will keep the air coming around the wheel and lifting the nose.

[@brianargo1659]

Smooth move with that servo👍

[@dutchhades]

I think you hit the sound barrier when it took off to the moon! 🤣 Love your videos, greets from the Netherlands!

[@PopInternational8787]

Kev, I researched about what happened when the car flipped. 13:57 It's because of the car weight, downforce, wheelbase and suspension. A short wheelbase has more of a chance of tipping over, like when a car brakes, the front end gets shoved down. But on your car, the high acceleration tipped the car over to the back, air is being shoved through the front, causing a huge front flip. The car's length is narrow. But you don't have to fix that. There was more weight on the back when in the front, (the electronics are heavy) so what you need to do is level the weight out by placing some electronics in perfect positions, so the front has a LITTLE BIT more weight than the front. Now the suspension is OK, but the ride height needs to be adjusted, don't make the car too low or make the front and rear height uneven. I suggest 2-5cm of ride height should be fine. The stiffness for the shocks could also be an issue, make the front soft (not too soft or it will scrape the ground) but enough for it to stay up when accelerating. Keep the rear shock stiffness the same.

[@Pablo668]

Top notch content, been a blast watching you and Raz together.

[@dankjankings7339]

I’ve got my first rc car to 62mph on 3s but I never DREAMED that the RC hobby was so EXPENSIVE and so many people do it. I have 3 different ones but my first slash I have made into something unique and crazy fast for a beginner....2 years. I’m currently fabricating some carbon fiber 3d printed parts.

[@michaelstevens230]

Haven't been watching for long, in fact just recently gotten into RC cars from building mini Bikes, and your content has inspired me to think up lots of dumb cars Keep at it I hope you succeed in your goals!

[@michaelbauers8800]

Lot of work went into this, appreciated this video

[@johannesb.1658]

This is Absolutely Epic 👍😉👍👍

[@NepDouble07]

That Max 4 and motor combo did pretty good on its own. Didn't expect it to go as fast as it did. 173MPH is awesome.

[@Maksinator_YT]

7:53 - My god I'm so happy with Kev's answer! He's definitely doesn't take all these speedrun things too seriously! Please Kev continue being yourself! you're the best RC owner I know! Cheers!

[@wstheone]

love the vids. i cant wait for more sledge content. thanks for being you.

[@joshuarichardz6010]

The downforce from that speed is causing the chassis to bottom out under high speeds. I would suggest adding stiffer suspension and maybe a tad more ground clearance, or slightly bigger wheels and tires. Bigger tires would also give you more speed as well.

[@quipher]

12:50 smooth driving Raz ya animal

I nearly shouted at the video when you installed the steering servo in front and through your traveling suspension assembly!

[@BigDadGigaCHAD]

Gotta be a bit frustrating to go for the record. You have to have have good weather conditions, road conditions, the cars cost big money and at those speeds cost a lot to fix buuuuuut if you can beat the record it's gotta feel oh so sweet. Wishing you and Raz the best. I believe in you guys. The dream team. 🏆

Kev, if you ever build another monster truck, please consider calling it the "Ugga Dugga". Appreciate all the vids and your passion.

[@cowboyross]

Great video Kev, love watching your videos. 😁👍🏾

[@bunnycat2886]

Love the videos it's always a good day when kev posts

[@DESOUSAB]

Regarding the servo relocation, an additional benefit here will be helping to keep the front end down. A quarter pound taken from the vehicle and placed IN FRONT of the front axle will substantial. On the negative side - you do risk additional damage with any strong frontal impacts. But then, speed running isn't about limiting damage in the event of a crash - otherwise it would be called "limited damage" running. And that sounds boring.

[@bling1634]

Epic video Kev and that RC went pretty fast but next hopefully you get it up to 200

[@alexandroskrachtoudis8093]

Hello. Kev, I believe you are going the right and fun way with your limitless. Love it by the way. I honestly think that aerodynamics is key now that you have reached the ceiling of 170mph. I suggest a hard shell. If you are happy with the drag this shell is giving you make a mold using a new one and make it carbon fiber. It will be heavier but it won’t give you any issues like bending under downforce. Stiffen up shocks and give it a go. Double the motor is double the power indeed but how much will you gain in top speed considering the extra weight. 15S sounds key too. Keep exciting us with your amazing toys mate!

[@stu1987eng]

The monster truck build was an estimated £250,000 gbp and there's a lambo in the garage 😳 I'd say KZbin really pays when you get millions of views/subs... I've been watching Kev for about 3 years, it has been epic to watch lol I don't think he can fit 1 more thing in that workshop now 😄 🤣 😂 😆 maybe the next life improvement is a kick ass massive workshop with a proper monster truck area and his own Rc bash shop adjoined, that would be sweet 😋 👍

[@mrgrumpy70]

It’s all listed as a business expense and tax deductible. The views on 1 vid more than pays for it many times over. Thank god or we would never get to such mad creations.
