Hey @kevintalbotrc May I please have a slash 4x4 brushless, thx

[@Me-qp8vz]

Didn't she you were rather tiny Kev? That's the story I heard. hehe

[@FarmerFpv]

Kev on the mini monster trucks like the Granite Grom or Hyper go, shoe goo a ping pong ball on the roof of the body in the middle a quarter inch behind the windshield, It will always land on it's feet. You can also remove it by ripping it off. The shoe goo is not permanent if you don't sand the body before gluing the ping pong ball. Or you can make it permanent by sanding the body to rouging it up before gluing the ping pong ball on. I do it to all my mini trucks, Won't work on the mini street cars or buggies. Only the mini off-road trucks. Its like an automatic hand of God, lol.

[@robertfritz1826]

Raminator yeah!!

[@ema.drums1349]

kev im from costa rica please an X.MAXX

[@1peanut]

this is one of the best RC cars i have ever bought. I recently got the 1/18 Grom Typhon and it too is fantastic. These 1/18th arrma trucks are Fantastic.

[@Joenil58]

It's great little car for kids and cheap. Great to start your life to be more outdoor with your friends. Having fun with RC

[@s13sil80]

They should have done the brushed for $100, and a brushless for $130. They'd have sold them both like hotcakes.

[@Blaquer17]

Perfect for the little kids. my daughter is 4 and carrying around her 1/10 granite and the radio is a bit of a struggle. I'll probably get two of these for her and my son who is 2. Won't break when they crash, aren't too fast, and cheap enough that they won't have to share.

[@alexadams2336]

​@@Blaquer17I got my daughter (6) a Traxxas Teton last Xmas would of liked one of these much more. The Teton feels half hobby grade half New Bright BUT all that really matters to her is it cane in pink😅

[@brittanyhurst1778]

We drive RC cars too, and we’ve been loving them

[@joshuapaul4662]

Your really informative on the cars you show thank u for that been looking at the 1/16 scale for a couple weeks thank u.

[@2v_media]

I was at my local Hobby Shop and they had one of these out on the counter, I said “you know Kev made those look fun mind if I try it out?” Couple rips up and down the parking lot and I was shocked by how zippy it was.. my daughter and I now have a couple Granite Groms wrapped up under the Christmas tree lol.

[@brandonstowe9002]

I've watched your shows for a long time and you never fail us its always exciting very involved and you care about the people watching even if they haven't subscribed. Every rc you own is very cool but what makes the show the best is knowing that you will take the time to help others make money you rock keep Making videos

[@yannickg6904]

A bit expensive, but I am certain it will be durable. I just got back into land based RCs. Arrma has been my introduction to modern stuff. So far both my Big Rock and Senton have been a blast. I love taking these things to the park. A nice custom hard bodied 1/10th scale crawler is probably my next project.

[@rcfools]

Just picked one up myself. I think these will catch on with newcomers and those who already have the RC bug. Definitely well made.

[@garykee1]

nice vid! good job on the review on both bashers. i hope that your move to the isle of man is going well for you and can't wait to see the first vid from your new home! cheers and see you in the next one!

[@VS666]

I really love my Grom, rips a skatepark pretty well and threw some paddle tires on from the HyperGo H14 and did pretty well on the beach too. VERY worth the $130 it is in the US. I was pretty disappointed with the HyperGo, the ESC throttle lag is very annoying and I'm surprised noone mentions it in their reviews

[@johnfawcett5437]

Get yourself the FTX tracer just as good if not better than the grom

[@backdada]

in this video the model is MJX 16208, it costs much less than GROM, and if you get on sale, it’s almost free... there are never such discounts on arrma) the difference in motors (speeds) is obvious. and in this MXJ model that there is no problem with esc. excellent throttle response. before purchasing, look at reviews or read reviews and do not mislead people) peace

[@Boogie_the_cat]

​@@backdada"almost free" Really? Because I've never seen even a 50% discount on Banggood, and 50% off would still be $38. I don't know what you call "almost free" but $38 is not almost free. MJX make trash cars that are fast but fall apart, and all the spare parts are powder metal that breaks as quick as the stock parts. I've owned and returned 3 of my 4 MJX RCs. 1: spur stripped 2: rear diff stripped 3: screws falling out of steering linkage And none of them drove straight.

[@sheldonlucas9908]

Some of your rigs are just simply amazing 🎉

[@NBC_NCO]

I definitely love the way you test Vehicles, Kevin.

[@toxicnerveYT]

I got two Groms last week for my 4yo lad and I. I think they're brilliant little things and ideal for kiddos. They're small and slow enough that they won't do any major damage to anyone or anything. Obviously never going to be like a 1/10th or bigger but I think there's definitely a fun factor they bring because they are so small. Plus it means you can just rip around in the garden or around the house too!

[@muskokamike127]

I was just about to say that: you can run em just about anywhere with not a lot of space. the thing about the hyper go? you can turn down the accelerator to "normal" speed and when they get better, crank in up to loony speed.

[@Brandon01110]

I bought two 1/10 Rival MT10 for my 4 year old daughter and myself. I did that because I turn hers down to slow to medium and she can grow with it so to speak. Thanks to kevin for the testing that led to a confident purchase.

[@oriolinton]

ill take any one of them .. your awesome man .. i got back into rc because of you ... doin so saved my me and my dads relationship.. thank you!

[@kevintalbotrc]

That’s awesome dude!

[@michaeldorich4485]

This was a entertaining video. With the release of Grom and Gorgon at more reasonable prices I think they are trying to compete with the cars like the Hyper Go and other brands. In the U.S. this passed weekend my local Hobbytown sold the Grom for $110. Horizon was not selling them on their website. They were supposedly trying to support the local hobby stores. The advantage of the small r/c cars is their size. You can put everything in a backpack and go to the spot you like to run. This was another excellent video.

[@E-Guy]

I agree, I love my mini rock crawlers for this, I also have the 1/8 (real size 1/7) crawler but it is not great for me to jump on my e-bike to take to my local spots

[@Shleprock]

Rock on Kevin living the dream!!!!...dragster....dragster....250mph plus!!!!!...hope to see soon!!!...love your motivations...!!! Christmas every day!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I like the Arrma outcast 8s and done the raffle

[@AtradiesInc]

Good Morning from USA love watching your vids while I build a drone lol

[@Hellseeker1]

Painting my 74.2 Jconcepts body right now, can't wait till they ship my kit man, you inspired me to build a race 1/10th, doin the Spencer Rivkin Team Associated build.

[@W17_trucks]

again a very nice video i very like you, the rc cars and all the energy you have your the best yt'er no lie

[@finleymakee4850]

For a mini with a brushed motor it’s actually pretty speedy. Way faster than the stock latraxes. I’d like to see a brushless one more tho

[@wheelsdownrc6348]

You don’t see a lot of people doing the drop test first we love your process Kev💯😂✌️..

[@brittanyhurst1778]

I drop my RC cars

[@charleswhitlock8991]

Thank you for your videos I love your content it's both entertaining and educational i love the decked out outcast would love to win it but no doubt much rather have a primal rc it's my dream thanks again please keep the videos coming

[@gameheadmail]

I would love to See Kevin turn a Skateboard into a Big RC.

[@markmmm1737]

He did turn a snowboard into one. It's called the sausage.

[@jayputters615]

He already did it with a snowboard really would be no difference

[@kevinporter]

Bought one of these for my daughters first RC 🤟

[@kainoskid7042]

On some of the hyper go's, if you hit the power button on the esc five times it gives you a hidden fast mode.

[@stefanhofstetter54]

Great review. The MJX is bloody fast on 3S (60km/h). Necessary? No, but a lot of fun…

[@nickburrage]

I’d be happy with any Kev over the moon intact 👏

[@KETMO]

Awesome video ! I'd like that Arma Outcast 8s EXB, thx Kev

[@deenunya7735]

Great Vid , good Honest Opinions👍

[@user-ry3bl3gu7i]

First time commenting on any video love your content. From Kentucky USA I'm 50 getting back into the hobby i want an x maxx because of your video on how durable they are.

[@E-Guy]

Enjoy the hobby, I'm 39 and still going at it. Have fun!

[@dieseldabz7104]

Just getting back into it at 44 after not being in the RC scene since I owned my Nitro Traxxas (Xmax, Tmax?) Just got my 1st electric basher (Arrma BR 3S) and also got into scale crawling after decades of real life wheeling and building.

[@IRockHarder2]

I've never driven one of these. They look so much fun! Any of them would be nice to start.

[@titanobrien]

I have purchased 5 of these hyper go trucks lol . Great budget truck

[@Ytytfytfujbyddutrxrt]

I clicked buy straight after watching this. It's the perfect backyard basher for me.

[@user-pu4yt6hj6p]

Awesome channel keep on bashin 👍👍👍

[@gregganderson5479]

Kev, I'm pretty sure there's a "turbo" button on the Hypergo. Look for a red button on the ESC and press it either three or five times. When I bought my HyperGo I thought it was super slow. Turns out the turbo mode was off.

[@Carspottingadelaide]

Love your stuff kev

[@PRESTINERCs]

You said to ask which RC I would like, and that would be anything that is actually a tenth scale. Thank Kevin! 🙂

[@rcsmith5909]

I’m impressed with both of them! RC has come so far. Just in like the last ten years!

[@extec101]

agree i started out with a nikko black cat rc buggy 8AA batteries 4 houer to full charge and between 10-15 minutes of runtime. after that i started with nitro kyosho inferno 1:10 and its been a couple more cars after that, now im racing xray xb2 and bashing a traxxas slash 2wd love em both for their komplete opposite characteristics and slash i could run for 30-60 minutes on a 6600mah 2s lipo.

[@E-Guy]

I agree, crawlers and the hobbywing setup are great to be able to tune the drag etc

[@dieseldabz7104]

Everything has changed tremendously in last 10 years

[@Phantm-_-]

Kev I know you don’t do drones but I’m learning to take old drones apart and build them to sell for thousands thx to you

[@dieseldabz7104]

Think more laws need to be set in place with drones. Too many people use them for wrong reasons like spying or worse. I'd bet 10% actually use accordingly for stuff like professional photographer. Large drones that can have things attached like weapons should be banned in the US..

Does the arms controller have a way to turn down the speed? Looking at getting one for my 2 1/2 year old son. I’m looking at the armma over the hyper go because I know it would be easier to get parts here in America for it.

Great little car to start off someone's Christmas! Maybe do a video on budget friendly sub £200ish cars for your little ones? I'd like to see a review on the Ftx Carnage 2.0 as I'm looking at this for my son's first hobby grade 💯👌🏻

[@WheelieDad]

I was gonna get him the Arrma Gorgon, but you just can't get stock anywhere at the moment and all on back order with no dates.. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Get the ftx ramraider looks decent tomley rc has reviewed it few times 3s rtr for £230

[@Jack-vw6ou]

I really like the Arrma TALION it looks really cool and is like you said between buggy and truck known as truggy. This looks like it will be really strong and fast therefore I would love to own one.

[@Scxjunkie]

I’ve had both my groms 30 feet in the air back to back on every skatepark sesh and I haven’t broken a thing, I’ve had both trucks about 3 months

[@Thatrandomguyonyoutube547]

I hope Arrma comes out with a Granite Grom brushless version with either a slipper clutch or center diff. I think the direct drive will be too hard on the drivetrain with brushless power.

[@wadinator038]

Kev if I put 4100kv and 3s in a granite grom with metal diff do you still think the diff would survive it

[@dirtrider88]

0:19 "Grom stems from the word grommet, a term generally used to denote the lowest ranking members of a naval ship. This term was then borrowed by the Australian surf community to describe young, skilled surfers, employed as both a term of respect and a way to poke a little fun at the younger guys and girls in the water."
