I can’t imagine the reality being more different from the promise of a new RC!! Looked amazing, actually a POS! Entertainment value off the scale, thanks Kev and crew!!

[@CamCakes]

I mean, it seems that the material they used wasn't strong enough to handle the raw torque and power!!!

[@marcoreviews]

It needs some DJI cyber nanny calibration lol 😂!

[@dawsonmobley]

Looked like whatever method they used to keep the tires from expanding at speed failed miserably 👍. The wheels seem to be to fragile to stand up to normal use,much less any abuse.

[@sullythepankake9663]

They sent the car out with 3d printed wheels lol if they had real wheels and had enough clearance between the underbelly it would've been fine.

[@stevezimmerman5644]

That thing is awesome Kev. It's redefined the hobby. No longer do you have to go fast or bash a RC car for it to explode it does it first time you touch the throttle! Major timesaver. Makes Stemp a bit redundant though, replaced by a machine that destroys itself, sorry Stemp, you have been made obsolete! That's 2022 for ya!

Also they said they wouldnt send anymore stuff to youtubers and do their own testing when they should of fixed it and sent it back to kevin to test again which would have restored peoples faith in the business. This is 100% their fault and he had every right to bash it when it broke before even driving it and then shattered on the first turn.

[@Rek_Rc]

The car did nothing, and yet was still the most spectacular rc I've ever seen in action. Wow what a showing, and just when I started to think 1500 dollars was too expensive it really delivered the thrills. I can't wait to see someone achieve a full 14 foot speed run with it.

[@legiony5209]

Apart from what people think 3d printed parts are actually really strong, you just need to learn to use the material correctly: I have 3d printed rims, but every wall is thick between 5mm and 10mm, same for the Shocks arms. It's really sad for this car to fail like this, it looks like the damages wee caused by real silly errors. I would have made all those blue parts out of molded nylon, the motors mounts almost two times thicker, the chassis thicker, the body mounted traditionally with clips, the motors controlled by a flight controller (like fpv drones) and the wheels belted. It looks like a really good prototype tough, it just need some minor but vitally important modifications 😂😢

Nice car but I think it's back to the drawing board for this model. Better wheels, suspension needs to stronger and no ballooning tires. Just needs these parts to be be better and you have a winner. Once these are sorted out it will sell a lot I think.

[@Mr._Magee]

The technology behind the car is brilliant and innovative. The wheels are far too brittle. Needs more testing and development. Hope it does well.

[@Mr._Magee]

@@Cloxxki I think the wheels were 3D printed by the looks of it, just not strong enough. I was really hoping to see this car absolutely fly. It's certainly got the power. When Kev pushed the throttle and turned the steering, it was catching the underbody. There are a few flaws that ironing out. Gutted it ended so early.

[@dantevito1193]

3:34 the front right tire touches the plastic while steering It looks like no one even tested it

[@dirkmohrmann8960]

This is literally 4 drone motors and a re-programmed drone controller in an (apparently) poorly 3D printed chassis. I wouldn't call that overly innovative, and for the price it's an absolute joke, considering that they seemingly couldn't even be bothered to do literally any product testing.

Brilliant Innovative and invented in 1898 by Ferdinand Porsche...

[@dantevito1193]

@@dirkmohrmann8960 it doesn't look 3d printed, but it is poorly design (if you can call it that), the wheels can't hold the torque of the motors, and it doesn't have space for the wheels to deform or even steer (at 3:34 the front right tire stops wheen touches the plastic while steering)

[@garycormack1059]

I'm guessing as soon as you come off the power the motors use magnetic field for braking to. Perhaps adding power then reducing power is asking too much of the 3d printed mounts and the fast slowing/braking action caused the failures. You'd think they would test it before sending it to you lol. Great video, haven't laughed like that in a while.

[@MyDjerk]

Well… you have to admit, the engineering got into this car has been exceptional. I like the ideas, and with all the electronics it is definitely a step forward. The choice of 3D printed wheel, and suspension parts is a bit… wrong imo, especially when using the wrong materials. That was probably the main issue here…

[@JohnBaxendale]

They can't have done any testing, he ran the throttle up on the bench and even without the body on, it self destructed 🤣

[@AdamHarte]

Seems like it should have just been a mod kit for an existing Arrma platform, rather than making a new platform out of 3D printed self destructing materials.

[@l4x3rj]

With the motors mounted to the wheel the force on the control arms will be huge. They will need to be way bigger and stiffer in addition to better material

Lol I've literally implemented the same idea with some drone motors I had around and some 3D printing. I expected it to be super fast, but in the end, it was super hard to control ( I guess due to extra mass and inertia in the wheels ) and I crashed and burned it on the first test run. I still plan to return to it and try again, maybe I get some inspiration from these guys.

[@ChrisBLong]

This has always been the problem with hub motors, in full-size applications as well. Far too much unspring mass.

[@FarmerFpv]

@@ChrisBLong, They have a gyroscopic effect. Unsprung mass is not an issue when you have it dampened for its weight. Unsprung mass is always brought up in the full-size car world and is always a myth that has no effect on the vehicles. Besides, the parts were 90% 3D printed. if it were injected molded or machined parts it would have not had these issues. The company is a POS.

You really need a special made motor with a huge shaft, maybe 4mm steel if you want it to really be able to survive a beating. Also going to need to design the bell to protect the magnets in the motor better so that dust from the road doesn't just wreck them too. Could be very cool with proper design, but this clearly isn't it from a mechanical standpoint and we didn't really get to see if the SW was any good with how short lived it was.

@@colinmetzger6755 we would be able to see more tho if it wasn’t so bad mechanically

[@stunter2875]

So much potential, curious why a company would release something without enough R&D

[@SoberDaze1]

Ok...that's hilarious 🤣🤣🤣 I saw this video when it came out they're going back and watching you guys cracked up again makes me laugh out loud

[@H3110NU]

The drivetrain, motor setup, and software looks great. Just think they need to work on durability “slightly”. Stronger wheels, stronger hubs, stronger diffuser (or more space for tire expansion) better mounting system for the body. Ok so basically I think it’s a great prototype to hang on the wall, but it’s not ready for the consumer yet.

[@ryanbenge7824]

I agree with this dude. Hopefully Kev didn't kill this cars image before it had a chance to sell and fix its problems

[@ianbudgetrc2574]

The first thing to do for them is to make the tyres belted

[@jarfur559]

I agree, if the motor is in the wheels, they need to be strong to take the added weight and torque

[@warriordugan7236]

The Kiss brothers in Hungary have a lot of redevelopment to do as well as giving you a full refund. They should want the car back to evaluate what went wrong so they can use more reliable parts on their 3D printing machines. Thanks for the great video Kev. Pretty sure no one will be buying this failure of an R/C car until it's all sorted out.

[@unbelievable486]

That was absolutely epic!

[@mjrcrawler]

Looked incredible but definitely was a let down hopefully when it’s fixed it will run as good as it looks Entertaining as always though my friend!!! 😂

[@ramsandrzr3706]

Absolutely amazing that’s the latest technology. Four wheel brakes everything awesome about having the motors in the wheels

[@TheNeelonRokk]

Four wheel breaks (fixed it for you). 😁

[@jimboneslice]

Every time I see Kevin's unboxing videos I think, ok I would have done that ok. When he gave it gas on the stand and it broke the diffuser off I about shit my pants hahaha. Funniest video I have seen In a long time. Thanks Kevin!

[@WestonHays]

I was really excited about seeing this car. Hopefully kev can get it fixed and give it a rip.

[@bobpattenden]

Shocked to see wood being used, surely there is a better material for this purpose. No way 3D printed parts will take that sort of stress, body held on with magnets, at 100mph? Fantastic concept but looks like it was built in a shed. Cracking vid Kev.

[@GizmodoMN]

Wood is cheap and easy to work with. Many people use wood for splitters and air dams on real cars in SCCA and NASA.

[@muskokamike127]

@@Cloxxki Peterbilt and kenworth use it for the floors in their trucks and Morgan uses it for the frame of their vehicles. It is only people who wish to demonstrate their ignorance make comments like "shocked to see wood"......

[@D3moknight]

The wood was the only thing that didn't fly apart on this thing.

[@gt-r9035]

Don't blame wood. It's a cool Material for construction. & btw it wasn't the wood failing.

[@ferv888]

Of course people are shocked to see wood on this car, if you pay 1,5 k for a car and they use all cheap and shitty materials like wood.... Im not saying wood is bad but if it is such a thin wooden plate, it's worth nothing and has no strength... Thick wood can be strong, yall make shitty comparisons with your NASA and shit... Stfu, all of you

[@marquisjamie]

Seeing this video posted has put a smile on my face after the shitty day I’ve had, thank you so much kev for everything you do and the smiles you put on everyone’s faces. Whenever I have a bad day and I see a new video posted it always makes it better

[@caspfornia]

Looks like it has a pulse still maybe you can revived it. 🤘🤪🍻🍻🍻🍻

[@HighSideHustler81]

I can just picture the company owners and such who thought this would be such an game changing idea too send one of these bad boys too Kev for a test and then they would sell out immediately once it got posted and patiently awaited the test and for this upload… and then this happened 😂😂

[@skree_fpv436]

I recognize those start up tones. Those are BLHeli escs. Those motors look like GARTT ML5010s which are a really cheap brand of drone motors. You'd think for the price of this thing they'd use a good brand like T-Motor or Brotherhobby.

[@MegaSockenschuss]

Or molded plastic parts, or maybe CNC machined, but not this weak 3d printed stuff...

[@AlvaFPV]

That company really had some balls to send you a car that’s damn near totally 3-D printed. What the hell did they think was gonna happen and they knew you was gonna make a video. The design, if made from quality parts looks awesome though.

[@AlvaFPV]

@@Cloxxki thats nuts

[@TimsRcsurgery]

So….. apart from being the funniest video you’ve ever done!! Would you recommend this as a basher??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 💥

[@angsta22]

first thing i thought was that there was no way those wheels with that tiny as hell hub/lug setup was going to last long with any kind of torque or sideways action...

[@rcmakingtracks18]

Wow, that must be some sort of record. 1,500 rc car explodes in less than a minute. However I did laugh out loud. Nice one Kev. John

[@TheCameraManReviews]

That was one of the funniest things ever. Me and my son were crying. Excellent video!

[@LukeKirby-dr2pe]

looks insanely epic at least

[@jeti_on_tour750]

with the right size of tyre will be the best car on the market! well done guys, awesome ideas, fantastic car

[@jaylay9524]

Did they never bother to drive one before selling it? These seemed to be some pretty immediate issues. Imagine what issues would pop up later.

[@AB-80X]

Yeah, on a treadmill...

[@lowridr2]

Think we can appreciate how tough some of these hobby grade rc really are

[@AB-80X]

Not sure that's the case. I own a few things that are crap to say the least, and they are still better than that heap.
