This will destroy your RC Car

[@WestOzRC]

Well this has to be one of the best Notorious bash sessions I’ve seen. The amount of abuse it copped and was able to still stay in one piece is incredible. Nice job mate. 😎👊🏼🤙🏼💪🏼👌🏼

[@klippschliefer4968]

its notoriously epic!

[@falcondragonslayer]

It’s unfortunate that it ended with a locked-up motor. I suppose he kinda got what he asked for by running the higher-speed gearing without even a heat sink on the motor.

[@richardbradbury3540]

your videos have made my two boys so happy and entertained when the day is over and time to relax they loved all your rc adventures sadly months ago their mother ran off with them i havent seen them in months just wanted to say thank you for the smiles you put on their faces with your videos i do miss that tons

[@turtleneckferret]

You need to call the police. What she did is illegal unless you aren't telling the whole story. Get your kids back before she lets another man around them and they end up being abused or dead. My ex took my son and he's dead now. If she took your kids then she can't be trusted. Fuk that bit**

[@estonianperson1112]

Hey kev, since you have to almost always upgrade all your Arrma cars, why dont you just buy the car in pieces? Buy what parts you need from custom Rc upgrades etc would be a fun video to assemble it :D

[@hardywoodaway9912]

because it’s more expensive and time consuming? why buy arrmas in the first place…

[@KillerRito7]

Yeah would be good

[@stoojona5119]

I concurr

[@WGRF]

Probably because it's a lot of effort to find every little part you need, and it's not cost effective, since all the parts are probably around the same price as the full car

[@everettstormy]

Yeah the cost of individual parts are, like everything in rc, marked up like crazy. It would cost like 4x more

[@richduperbash2966]

Great stuff Kev 🤗. Notorious took a serious flogging 👀. It's so frustrating having servo issues. I can remember swapping ESC's, recievers...etc... only to later realize a failing servo was causing intermittent bursts of throttle and cut outs 😝

[@DailyDarsh]

It's Christmas everyday when Kev uploads😄😄

[@andrewfumarolo7588]

Jk bro it is

[@tonysmith7989]

RPM bumper the Notorious/Outcast, Kraton, Talion and Typhon. They've made it a lot better if you come down on the front, to keep from spreading the wheels breaking a arms and hinge pins. And they look EPIC.. thanks Kev. Feel like part of the crew sometimes. I'm a solid RCist and noone to run with. My side lot is big enough to run 1/5 and 1/8 RC's like a monster jam session. Just need 3 more mounds of dirt. Then hit the Local Hobby Shop and put up a sign to come out and run And they could bring chargers and extra batteries as I have a work shed to charge them in. 🤔

[@GaveitagoRC]

I love my Notorious.. it has to be one of the most fun RC'S you can buy and it's legitimately a tank. It's 💯 one of those rigs every basher should own.

[@rc_ingenuity]

Sometimes I’m just sitting here watching your videos in absolute awe over the places you get to drive your cars at. So jealous.

[@Blakeyrobinson858]

i have a small land that i get to drive my rc car and my real car at

[@captainskippybear1466]

Kev I did it! I took your advice from the other day and I worked reallllyyyy hard and I was able to get paid enough and now I have my own X-MAXX!!!

[@theAessaya]

Great stuff, as always. That Notorious really did well indeed! And Rival MT10 has definitely earned the legendary status of being nigh-indestructible. As for Arrma motor mounts, I've found out that the optional heatsink from Arrma will nicely cover the gap between chassis and the motor and provide it the support it needs. And yes, overheating is a big problem on those motors, even without the speed gearing. If you want your RC motors to last, I highly recommend the motor heatsink and the fan for it.

[@falcondragonslayer]

I agree. Anyone getting a brushless RC car needs to get a heat sink & fan if it doesn’t have one. Brushless motors are expensive and get very hot while running, so a heat sink & fan is a must

[@Basherqueen]

Arrma Outcast V5 still one of the best Out-of-the-Box-Durable Bashers out there. I totally love it. The Rival MT10 might be really the best first RC you can get 💪💪

[@skylaryoung3750]

I’m not even really into rc cars but your knowledge and energy just makes it so easy to watch! I have enough expensive hobbies so I’ll just enjoy the videos 😂

[@MorzakEV]

Ha haa! Me too. I love the thought of trying it, but Kev's videos scratch my itch.

[@TheRCScotsman]

Unbelievable, the amount of punishment you give your RCs! I think there's more punishment given in this one video than in my entire, life-long RC experience, combined!

[@Nordlicht05]

Yep ;-) I personally hate it to brake my own stuff. Don't know have a bad feeling in my pocket somehow 😂 Maybe a reason why my second third and fourth Rc are getting slower and slower.

[@klippschliefer4968]

the only punishment in my rc era is given to myself from my cars...

[@tonysmith7989]

Thanks for the fun run and your mates being out having fun together. When I bought the Notorious v4, after breaking the wing mount did that exact same thing. Figured if I could get the screw stuck in the shock tower out, time to put longer ones in with secure bolts. To bad you cant do it with the others as it is a great fix. But if bashing, I now have RPM wing mounts and remove the wing as that's what twists it and snaps that screw or arm if lucky enough. Glad you put that out there. I want to start making videos but take care of my 92 year young Grandmother. I get out on our side lot when she's napping. Thanks again for the video, and you're right, the scenery is beautiful. Glad you take time no matter what and enjoy the beauty all around us. 🤜🤛💯🔥👍

[@motododo4626]

I used the program card for a brushed hobbywing on a brushless hobbywing and a spektrum 150amp esc and they all worked just fine. You just have to know the values and options but it is very much compatible.

[@NomisRC]

I had the original, it broke diffs a lot, upgraded it to all exb stuff, like this one comes with, and its a backflipping super durable beast. My X-maxx still sees the most use of my grounders. But the fact of the matter is of all the RC's out there, Helicopter's RULE and KEV is a very good pilot IMO. My most recent is a Diabolo 700 with all Kontronik electronics. I bow to it lol. Great VID as always man.

[@joshschonfeld3675]

I'm really impressed with that Rival MT! Loving the Notorious content too! I have the same truck and I absolutely love it!

[@averylooper5534]

I like how it says this will destroy your RC card and write below it is a picture of you! 😆 correct! Thanks for the great bash video you really put this one through her paces, Arrma tough baby!

[@driftking2909]

Hey Kev love your videos I been watching your videos for 4 years now

[@YaadLifesGood]

"And the criminal is getting rid of the evidence" 😂👍🏻 this is a food channel but I love rc's. Blessings Kev

[@joelhoium9645]

That's the thing with spektrum. They make weak servos. Especially the ones in the 3s line.

[@marlonare]

Great content as always! Would removing the spoiler or reducing its angle of attack get you more speed off road? Seems that at a certain speed the spoiler tries to create lift with so much ground clearance.

[@KineticTaco]

No. Just no. The wing is for looks. Put this thing in a wind tunnel and the tires alone create enough of a wind break nothing hits the wing.

[@MaxBrix]

@@KineticTaco Where can I find this wind tunnel data? I love it how science uses observation rather than assertions.

[@falcondragonslayer]

It’s not the wing that causes the lift. It’s the torque. A Notirious is able to do standing backflips (as shown in the video) because of its extreme torque.

[@chrisleyba8339]

That’s great. Back flips right out of the box. Great review.

[@RCBashCrew28]

Kev deserves more subs!!

[@RecklessRcuk]

Had my mt10 since February, they’re brilliant, they’re an ideal basher for people of all ages

[@ruger1420]

Did you set the end points on the original servo? If you don’t the servo will over extend and burn out.

[@joshuasanderson1007]

I've had the same problems with dogbones and body mounts, gonna try that trick with the longer bolts and nuts, but so far its been a beast of a truck. I managed to squeeze 57 mph out of mine while fighting to keep the front end down. I also added a dual fan setup for the motor, sounds like a little jet about to take off, lol.

[@strydyrhellzrydyr1345]

Wait.. he only got 40... How u get 17 more mph... That's not a tiny amount

[@buddylee19082]

I just LOVE how out of all the RC KZbinrs Kev is the most brutally honest, zero-F#$%&-given'est, bashing'est one of them all and yet they (the big RC brands) STILL send him their latest and greatest, for FREE!?

[@sheiladavis2304]

Thanks Kev! This made my day. Also enjoyed you and Raz.

[@evanwerkhoven7046]

Sold my notorious. Was fun but I had drive shafts pop out, diff seal blow, 3 tires strip out on the hubs, both front knuckles would pop the arms out every jump even a small fence flip even when I over tighten the balls where hard to steer still popped out. Was very fun but didnt last long at all had it maybe 10 runs never went off at crazy jumps

[@backwoodsbasherrc272]

Nice bash as always Kevin, that Mt10 takes a beating! Would be interesting to see how the drivetrain holds up to a 4s system?

[@falcondragonslayer]

Would be interesting, but impractical. A truck that size would be nearly impossible to drive on 4S. Even my friend’s Outcast 4S, which is built for it, is easier and more fun to drive on 3S than 4S

[@backwoodsbasherrc272]

@@falcondragonslayer I had ended building one myself with a 4s system although it was fun and the drivetrain held up fine it definitely took some throttle management to keep it from flipping over on its lid constantly. It would do quadruple backflips no problem tho lmao

[@coreygrace4856]

It is a single wish bone. Only has wish bones on the bottom and Turn buckle upers in the rear .double wish in the front. Love the content keep it up.

[@JRTheElectronicGuy]

My servo died second day at least Arrma has an awesome warranty

[@henrywood5462]

Kev is probably one of the only KZbin that when they upload no matter what it is a good video

[@ShadowDragon77]

I’ve been wanting a arrma 4s or 6s for a while I know I’ll get one , one day , love you vids , and love the monster truck build keep it up man 👍🔥

[@josediaz6246]

Any rtr you want to adjust your servo endpoints they dont take the time to this from factory so when you turn your pushing it past the limit of the steering it end up burning out the servo

[@mattster197]

I like seeing Vinny out with you. And when you race tracks with him indoors. He is a good guy. I like Ian and Claire too. And your new friend, what is his name? Andy? no thats your car.

[@rcfools]

Those Rival MT10's are Talbot tough. Probably the next vehicle I will be adding to the collection. A trip to Rom skate-park is needed.

[@georgebooth1476]

It’s Christmas everyday when kev uploads

[@stoojona5119]

Seeing the X-MAXX valiantly tying to climb out of the bowl at the skatepark was adorable

[@mikeyfourbarrel8473]

“This will destroy your RC car: drive it like Kevin Talbot” 😂

[@OmarGreeneotraPedroVerde]

I'm not nearly as extreme a basher as Kevin. However, I have yet to break ANYTHING on my MT10 and I do give it my kind of hell on 3S. I'm not saying it's indestructable, but it's damn close!

[@caledafuentes1431]

Hi Kevin talbot incredible way to drive and enjoy your rc I have an out cast 6s and I enjoy it just the same but my servo was damaged and I have it parked for now I have not been able to repair it but I have fun watching your videos

[@EJ-74]

I've gotta get a MT10 👍 The Notorious is Insane. Definitely one of the best at backflips. The short wheel base with big tires acts as a gyro and makes the truck spin like a top in the air. hehe Awesome vid Kev. 🔥👍✌️

[@BuzzBuggiesRCChannel]

I put twin fans on my motor on the notorious and my corally dementor it's seems to have helped quite alot.. Well at this time of year maybe in summer I'll get over heating issues again. Joys of rc vehicles innit lol ❤

[@justinallen9358]

I use the standard Hobbywing program box for the Spektrum ESC no issues 👍. Means you don't have to have two seperate ones for different cars.

[@falcondragonslayer]

Just fyi: If your RC ever starts sounding similar to that Xmaxx, STOP DRIVING IT. Chances are, it’s just a stripped gear, but my brother’s Slash 4X4 VXL made this sound, we took it inside and while checking the pinion & spur, we noticed that one of the bearings on the motor had exploded, and that sound was the rotor rattling around. Had he kept driving it, the motor would have been destroyed and he’d have to buy a new one

[@chancebaxter1071]

Have you changed the punch setting to level 9 instead of the stock level 4?????

[@brendengemmell5669]

FINALLY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR WEEKS FOR THIS VIDEO THANKS KEV

[@TheflyingkiwiRC]

I have both the Notorious and the MT10 and they are super durable. Great video, skate parks will kill any RC.

[@martyshaw9143]

Yep, skate parks are guaranteed doom for rcs. People expect far too much from RTR stuff. That being said, my MT10 and Notorious are insanely durable.

Hey Kevin, unusually long absence. Praying you're OK and all is well over there in the UK

[@1manrcvids286]

Good to know you can just buy a $9 replacement chassis if needed instead of buying the m2c one

[@TWIZZeditz]

Theres an even harder durability test its the one up from the 'Talbot Test' it called the 'Alex Test', so far NO CAR HAS PASSED!

[@danielnoname8352]

Awesome video Kev, I no longer drive RC cars but still love Your channel 👍👍👍

[@L2theWcarscoffeelife]

As an American that learned how to ride on a real 70's Triumph motorcycle I love that dudes shirt!!

[@1manrcvids286]

Always shove a ball of double stick tape under the end of your motors on every truck you are sending. No more broken motor mounts. But in this case it looks like you fried the motor, geared too high and no fans. Kev knew this tho. Kev kept calling the noto the outcast throughout the vid. Basically the same truck give or take a few parts

[@Pablo668]

At a guess Kev, the more compact dimensions of the Outcast help with durability, as compared with say, the Kraton. Also makes it better for tricks/stunts. Fun vid as always.

[@SPGGENIUS]

Bro super op I have challenge for u U need to purchase a Normal rc car and then u upgrade It to powerful high-speed car

[@ericlum5286]

The wire coming out of the esc near the motor is for a fan to cool the motor. I don't see you put cooling fans on your motors,why is that?

[@ThatRCGuy1]

Always get excited when kev posts

[@lifeofdave1237]

A great bash testing, and the chassis stayed straight 😀 gotta be a 1st for a Talbot test 🤣 and it really got some air too, that thing can jump.

[@devonllewellyn7925]

Hi Kevin, what'd be the fastest/most durable/good deal kit to buy for my little brother? I'm new to all this and just discovered your channel. I like the look of the traxxas sledge from the first video I saw. (also, probably dumb question, does it come with a remote?)

[@RC4us]

I have one of these I got in parts an I’ve built it like V5 almost done an can’t wait to RC4us testing… be honor if you saw it

[@coryraak3426]

Kevin, do you have a list of all the little bits and screws you have in drawers? I have some but always need more?

[@graphicalsolutions1899]

So i got the same thing with my Fireteam. Put the 15 tooth on and burned the esc. Not sure if it was because of that, but it stopped mid-run and all i had left was steering. Can i not use higher tooth pinion to make it go faster off-road? Could use some tips on this...

[@rikernineninenine]

Great content. Always something to learn. You were talking about the GPS and a link not seeing the link?

[@rotten2209]

Being a turf guy, it's crazy seeing all your grass dormant in the Summer while ours in the South US go dormant in the Winter.

[@captaincouldverc]

Interesting that spektrum has made their newer esc not programmable with the hobbywing programmer. I know they used to be compatible cause that's how program my spectrum 150a combo in my MT8. Granted, it is a few years old. So it must only be the new-new.

[@captaincouldverc]

My Scamtrometer is red lining.

[@NeighberhoodRC]

So when you crank up the brakes does it helps with better back flips performance?

[@Gamer-4E]

I personally think my rc car cover uses metals clips they are easy to remove and attach the cover no matter how harsh the condition never falls off

[@JollyPirateAhoy]

When a servo jitters and shakes a lot does that mean it needs replaced?

[@DESOUSAB]

The Hobbywing esc in that Arrma can be programmed without the program card. One would know that if one opened the manual...

[@cheseborger]

Kev, in my opinion, the '78 C10 stepside is the best C10. Stepsides in general, really.

[@rustler08]

Glad to see they finally upgraded the Notorious. Back in the day they were SOOOOO weak.

[@netybar7136]

Most durable basher you recommend ? Thanks 🙏

[@世紀末な自由人]

Mr. Kevin Talbot I would like to make a proposal while you are busy, but do you know the "Konghead" made by Tamiya Japan? It is a 6-wheel drive monster truck RC and is quite popular in Japan for its powerful driving. You can make it 4WS by installing two servo motors. Sorry for my poor English. I hope you enjoyed reading this article. From a Japanese who likes RC.
