Hey dude can you do a remote control Lego boat video

[@THERCDOCTOR]

Teach me your ways ?

[@RcBlazer-Racer]

I love your channel, can you do the Arrma Typhon 6S TLR Tuned? If you haven’t yet :) Edit: I didn’t know the other guy has a typhon! 😂😂

[@JonasGrunwald-lk5ey]

I love your videos

[@paparoosta6378]

You should try the older tires on the new X Maxx then see if will bicycle 😊

[@lukem5065]

I bought an xmaxx after finding this channel 3.5 years ago after being out of RC probably for 15 years, still puts a smile on my face every time I drive it (and now I have a few more too), thanks Kev!

[@EZErik79]

Wow. You guys can steer. That looks like a ton of fun and that dude went full send with his buggy type car. That was badass.

[@sheiladavis2304]

Kinda wild seeing Mitchell all grown up. Makes me realize just how long I've been watching you. 😅

[@sheiladavis2304]

I gotta say, I'm not impressed with the gears. It like pot metal. When you pay $1500 for an RC you expect something as cheap and easy as the gears to be decent quality. Most people can't drop $1500 and right away spend a whole bunch more on upgrading. If that's the case you're better off buying used for half price and upgrading it. IMO

[@volvo09]

Yeah, they should include better gears. It's not like the transmission is weak, so they don't need to be weak to protect the car, they're just being cheap.

[@hughjanus5518]

This is what I did. Batteries charger and X-maxx for 750.

[@fiercetatsu6782]

They use powdered metal and it’s super weird that traxxas of all companies is the one cutting such costs

[@volvo09]

@@fiercetatsu6782 powdered metal doesn't have to be weak, lots of cordless tools use powdered metal parts, even tools that are rough like impacts. Something about the process Traxxas uses is certainly weak though.

[@Bonitacreekrcs]

Those gears are made of the finest grade chinesium😂

Hello….I just bought the XMaxx that you have …Can’t wait to play with it 👍

[@todays_classics3571]

This guy is nuts !! Im after getting a maxx myself i used to have a nitro stampeed.

[@MarcLewis-do9jm]

X-Maxx looks like brilliant fun but I wouldn’t buy one, not new anyway. £1000 for something that strips its gears first run out of the box? No thanks! COME ON TRAXXAS, THAT’S UNACCEPTABLE!

[@Drew.Pugh.Barney.Mcgrew]

I bought a fiesta st150 off my mate for a grand. That puts things into perspective.

[@VeryGoodName.1]

He was off-roading with the street/speed gearing and it says on the box not to do that, I’ve had a x maxx for like 3-4 years, stock gears worked the whole time until about last year when I put a way bigger motor on it

[@Barncat01]

I rarely buy new regardless of what it is lol shits just way to expensive all around. Buying used and slowly upgrading what breaks over time is the way to go lol

[@Trailfloater]

i just got mine what do u mean by riding street speeds off road how do I adjust that on the controller bc I don’t wanna mess my gears up

[@TheSiebrowse]

"Clunge Sponge" 🤣🤣🤣. Brilliant

[@bigboihobbys4870]

Thought he said that 😂😂😂

[@eliflynn7282]

Traxxas is the rich man's rc. They're expensive and you have to mod them right out of the box.

[@paulgaines3391]

Anyone who hates Kevin or doesn’t like him I would question if they are a good person or not. How could you not like these kinds of videos? Cheers Kev!

[@KevinTalbotTV]

They just pretend to hate but still watch all the videos 😂 jellies

[@someguyprobably]

Probably the comments he leaves, going on other creators videos to be a troll, acting like a child generally.

[@ryanm.4953]

I like his vids but his voice is rough on my ears

[@insaneTrout]

I just picked up a version 5 xmaxx and man it's a hoot. I do miss my savage when I was a kid. I actually just saw a vid where someone had converted a savage to electric and it was pretty sick.

[@timvanschuilenburg1524]

[@matthewszn7257]

ITS CHRISTMAS EVERY DAY!!

It's not if you have to buy the stuff yourself. No matter how rich you are. It's "Buy myself something new every day!!" But that doesn't sound as cool.

[@naptime43x]

@@robertward5047 sometimes wonder how many he buys himself vs sponsors or companies just sending them to review, in which case it is basically Christmas

Those TLR Typhons are tough as hell. I switched mine over to speedruns but I wanna get another and do Kraton arms and bigger wheels for bashing.

[@Thedownloader13]

One of my favorite videos I love when everybody gets together❤❤❤❤

[@parker1ray]

I believe those are wheelie bars! Not for beginners, but some of the most experienced racers have them on the back of the race cars to prevent wheelies which do tons of damage and prevent inexperienced people from winning races!

[@donttakedevenstacos6219]

Insane how traxxas can keep pushing out expensive stuff that breaks right away! Love this hobby 😂

[@TheflyingkiwiRC]

Traxxas still taking the p1ss. The XMaxx version 5 and yet it still has monkey metal gears and toy grade servo.

[@diytypeofguy6502]

Right up to version 5 and still trash gears & servo 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@coastguardghost2190]

Ive been driving my xmaxx (version 3 i think?) for the last 6 years and Ive never stripped the central drive gears. Broken 2 rear pinions and a single diff ring gear. The stock servo was replaced after 2 years I believe, but other than that, the thing has been by far the most fun, and most durable vehicle ive driven. Personally I really don't think the gears are all that aweful in my experience.

[@roobedev3496]

​@@coastguardghost2190well in this video they broke already so they are infact bad quality

[@coastguardghost2190]

@@roobedev3496 how hard you bash definitely affects durability. I've certainly heard that the spur and pinions are trash. Maybe I've just been lucky so far.

[@mickaelb.5552]

Kev i like your great work, you are the best rc shwocase in youtube. when do we build a brand of rc car? The Traxxas is definitely the best machine to endure all the abuse possible in skate parks and elsewhere. You have proven it multiple times. Now with all your knowledge, let's create an RC brand together. You've already built a monster truck, and your skills in the world of aviation are simply magical. Keep up your work in any case you are the best. Develop new challenges!!!

[@Tjbensinnington]

That's insane that the gears do that, that's why I keep my spurs plastic, they're super cheap so I just get a handful, a good pinion and a good plastic spur is the way to go, my vorteks is going over 80 and my spur is perfectly fine

I’ve been waiting for this vid LETS GOOOO 🎉

[@naamangeist7843]

So are these variable speed motors or are they on/off all or nothing speed controllers? Reason why I ask is every video I'm finding on these, everybody's running them 100% throttle, which seems fun but I'd like to go slower sometimes, especially in smaller tight areas.

[@sheiladavis2304]

Kev I can't believe Traxxas is putting out a new version so fast! Traxxas used to take the longest in between versions with the Xmaxx the past few years they've become the quickest. Hello and good morning from Canada.

where can you buy this in Germany for a "normal" price... you can find almost only some that cost 250+

[@harlyquin]

i dont get it, you didnt seem to be really giving it a hard time and the gears let go pretty quick, did traxxas test this before releasing it to the public? i have a friend with an older xmaxx and he also goes through stock gears and aftermarket gears once every couple of runs, how is this the best rc car?
