[@AlaskanAssassinAdventures]

I knew nothing about rc's when I first started watching Kevin's videos, now that's all I want to do. Exactly what he's doing. Always having a good time with friends, fixing, upgrading and bashing. I have learned so much from watching Kevin. Wish I could send him my rc and have him upgrade everything. That would be nifty. Native Alaskan rc-er here. Subscribe and don't forget to smash the bell!

Hell yeah buddy how are you liking it so far? I just bought a roller for $300 and have the missing electronics on its way for $200. Just gotta wait till they're here and its ON!!!

Kev! Can we see a video where you build an RC car from the ground up exclusively from your old parts bins?

[@TheflyingkiwiRC]

So funny but also sad to see a high end RC car killed on purpose 😢

[@robertward5047]

Agree with this. I get that kev has money to do this and I don't know if max is from a wealthy family but he comes up with really annoying ideas to just wreck cars. They even lined the car up and you could see it wouldnt fit through the gap but apparently max thinks it will make it. It's a bit like the guys that buy new games consoles on launch day then smash them up in front of the people that have stood queueing for ages but can't get one cos they have sold out.

[@krelakuma]

Max always seems to destroy everything on purpose

[@TheflyingkiwiRC]

@@krelakuma yes so it would seem.

[@krelakuma]

I know kev goes hard on his rc cars but at least he doesn't come up with a ridiculous idea that will definitely destroy the car. Not saying max is a bad guy or anything but it makes me not wanna watch the videos

Hey Kev, picked up my first xmaxx a couple weeks ago and have been following your mods on your various rigs over the years. One question, the screw you put in the steering post.... can you let me know the size of it? Was debating using a pull dowel also. Keep up the kick ass vids!

[@emersonb5764]

“Can’t afford” is something you can control. Get a job or two, or three if you have to, and work hard. Most of our problems in life are something we can control by making smart choices. Trouble is most people now are too lazy and choose to sit on their ass and complain that they have nothing instead of going and doing something about it. I’m not saying you’re that way, I don’t know you. But I’m saying don’t follow in the footsteps of people that complain they have nothing. Instead follow the footsteps of those that realize their life is in their control and nobody else is going to look out for them so they take charge and do what they have to do, to get what they want. Best of luck to you, work hard and make clean money and have lots of fun.

​@@emersonb5764 bro calm down . Don't think everybody's life is same as yours. Maybe the person can be a handicapped, poor family background and he needs to feed his family on his own salary, he have lack of education so he gt less pay job and extra2. So before talk , think about a person's situation. If he said couldn't effort ,he might have many issues . ❤🎉

[@eds8702]

No matter what the next xmaxx they always maintain durability and strength performance without compromising structural integrity or overall quality i just wish prices in the market weren't so high but this machine is worth the $$ i say machine because these are beasts and so much more than a toy thanks Kevin keep going!!!!!!

Kev I really enjoyed this video seeing you gear up a new Xmaxx. Great editing and who doesn’t love a new fresh Xmaxx! Would be sweet to win that beast. But either way if I get another Xmaxx one day I’m gonna paint it that red I do love that signature red of yours it looks great on any rc 🇨🇦👋

[@Nick-bc2lm]

I wish I had the collection he does. Remember years ago when I worked at a hobby shop and everything was nitro. Seems like industry is going all electric. I miss the nitro stuff at times. Just picked up a DBXL gasser, and next on my list is a new xmaxx. Glad I ran across this video. Few things I need to order from the get go. What I really want is the Primal RC truck. Was awesome to see that one on here.

[@illbedamned3586]

I remember thinking $550 was a lot for my Revo 3.3, 12 or 13 years ago. A grand, before upgrades, and "good" batteries. The hobby just stopped being fun when it started costing as much as real car to play.

[@KevinTalbotTV]

No one said you have to buy it, get a cheaper one like mt10

Ya the used market for rc cars right now is awesome like I just bought myself another car for my collection and it was a 500 dollar used xmaxx it works as it should it great

[@RC_Berserker]

No, you don’t have to drill out the arms for the RPM hinge pins. The threads stick out the little hole and you put the nut on. Because of this I was drilling them out then just put a pin in forgetting to drill and put the nut on “oh, that was easy”

[@davidleerussell286]

[@dstjamesrc6395]

Agreed!

[@davestevens4263]

There a fun car , I had one & it was a blast . From the past

[@damonhochhalter2803]

I used to have rc cars, had one of the first nitros that came out that would do over 70 mph, which back then was insane, but I didn't have sponsors or KZbin to help pay for all them pieces and parts back then were expensive. They wanted so much for little plastic pieces that broke every single time you took it out and messed around with it. If they hadn't gotten so greedy I'd still be into them till this day, but I refuse to pay $17 for a piece of plastic that's gonna break 5 seconds into it. They have figured how to make certain parts just strong enough that you will break them and have to keep buying replacements to continue ur already much invested fun. You get even one sucker, I mean customer that owns a sizable collection. That's alot of parts sold that cost them almost nothing... no thanks will find a different hobby that's not gonna bleed me dry. But they are fun and u are fun to watch so 👍 to u.

[@xmo7901]

Hey there kev enjoying the videos 👍🏻 My arrma fireteam servo failed and I’m trying to find a replacement anything you would recommend Thanks
