Kev is the only person on earth I see break his stuff but does not get mad about it. That’s why he’s the best RC youtuber.

What I like about you Kev is you test the cars harder than most others, if it survives the KT (Kev Test) then you know its a quality piece of kit.

Crazy how far rc cars have advanced! I remember as a kid having my rc with a wire attached from remote to car. And i thought that was sick lol.

Same. Had a Knight Rider car with a wired remote that did about 2mph, but I thought it was awesome!

I remember those being "remote control cars" as opposed to "radio control cars". Not sure if that's actually accurate.

I mean they’ve had truly wireless rc vehicles since the turn of the 20th century

[@dakotathe1st]

In the 80s rc cars were still pretty fast

[@LPCliftonMusic]

I have to say, I am impressed with how well that thing held up. You didn’t cut it any slack and it just kept coming back for more.

[@reallythough4591]

It's one heck of a tuck. I slammed mine to the ground, swapped out the drive train for a felony(direct fit), changed out the body, cut the back off a felony and removed my bumper, then mounted a limitless wing for more ground force. Voila, worlds fastest fire team.

[@deanfoster1158]

Haven't been involved with RC models since early 80's but I found the fun bit was actually building them, painting and customising the bodywork. Getting them ready built out of a box takes away at least 50% of the fun of it imho. That said great vid Kev and 58mph, christ alive, I've had real cars in the past that would struggle to do that. 😂

[@baraki808]

That's total BS what they did.

[@NotthatGuy17]

Id say its worth the money. I mean not everyone is going to go full tilt with an expensive item like this. Pretty impressive speed and durability. It almost looks like it levels itself out mid air, which tells me its very well balanced in weight. Id buy it if I had the expendable cash.

[@sonorite2665]

you can control the car mid air through throttle/braking as long as its awd with big wheels and short wheelbase

[@stevenbaoTV]

ebay babyyyy

[@davidfriese6478]

How much

[@koreygregory527]

@@davidfriese6478 $400

[@davida8407]

You're 100% correct. Try to backflip off a tree, and it just runs straight up 6 feet, turns and somehow flattens out in the air to land on its wheels. Anyone who sees this, keep in mind it has a long wheelbase and smaller tires, not a stunt machine, but the rear brake is a blast.

[@rebeccacobardo8146]

Imagine arrma made a staircase just for testing the cars so kev can approve it hahahaha nice vid kev keep up the entertaining contents

Its called the traxxas staircase. Its why they make more durable cars :D

[@jimmyv1753]

Love my Arrmas. Idk why people get butt hurt about people prefer one or another brand. I’m sure people have issues with all RC cars. That’s why it’s a hobby. If it just worked forever nonstop… that would be pretty cool. With the 3 Arrmas I have so far nothing has broke. On any of them (except the tires) blown the tires off all three. I chose between this and the Talion same price I went with the Talion.

[@onious4630]

I love how honest your reviews are, I hate that people lie just to get a free toy.

[@RACEABLE]

Tomley is 1000% honest and i have many RC cars based on his reviews and i have not regret not a single purchase....for me one of the most honest reviewer in the world..

[@TomleyRC]

😎👌

[@troysrcchannel5659]

Love the vid. Your durability test is how I determine if a car is worth purchasing.

[@squidiotnoise]

I love Arrma as much as the next guy. But the fact that Kev checked the chassis after just the staircase made me laugh so hard

[@Dragoninja833]

I have to say if an RC survives this guy, it's durable. Awesome tests! It was fun watching!

[@tonylloyd5077]

Have to be the best "use / abuse" review I've ever watched. No nonsense and reflecting what most people would put their cars through (eventually). 😀👍

[@danb.4571]

I think the Bug body is a great idea. I wanted to like it way more a few weeks ago when it was being teased but we didn’t know what it was yet. I wish they would have taken a more Lasernut approach. I just can’t get past the G.I. Joes with guns. I mean, really?!? Also, it’s too expensive. I’d buy a Mojave (or any other 6s Arrma) every day and twice on Sunday instead of dropping so much more on this one. Thanks for a great video, and for punishing the heck out of it. Surprised how great it held up.

[@longboardguy]

Ya laser nut or like a sand buggy like Tamiya sand scorcher. I also don’t like those little G. I. Joes

[@jamesreynolds8708]

Bought this RC the day it was available. Awesome test Kev. I like the body and the guns. Very unique and fun. That’s all that matters. Enjoy it everyone!

[@johnraygun9868]

I always did the Traxxas thing but lately their customer service has gone to crap, I dont know much about Arma but that was pretty damn impressive! thank you for another great video Kevin and friends!

[@karmaq8462]

They are mostly the same except arrma has a metal chasis , so it bends , I have a kraton and a infraction , and like all of my cars it just depends on what you want and what you like .

Lol ive never had an rc car. Stumbled on this video by the graces of KZbin. Thought wow, id like to have 1. Clicked the link, seen it costs close to 700$ and quickly learned why i have never had an rc car.

[@Daytonafox1]

Not normally my thing Arrma but I’m impressed with this big time and the handbrake thing looks great fun. I want one!

This is the best unbiased product Review I've ever seen, come a long way from when I used to race bolinks on carpet tracks when I was a kid

[@benediktpaul8045]

Kev, great video mate - you gave it the beating a durability test deserves 😉 But as I saw in other videos the Fireteam tends to lose some screws from the plate due to the fact that Arrma uses no locktite. It would be great if you could check whether this is the case or not. Thank you man and keep up the great content 👍🏻

[@ruslandslava4095]

I love the way you edit your videos. Thank you for not murdering me with a half an hour of miserable filler content.

[@Pablo668]

Fun vid Kev! Yeah not exactly my thing either, it does go well though, and I thought the chassis stood up well considering. Maybe a change of wheels/tires too.

[@ianbudgetrc2574]

It's down to the new design of the body and how the body is connected to the chassis. It's not just a hollow body. It's made up of triangulated structures underneath, making it more flexible and durable.

[@jasonkraus7442]

Great vid, Kev. I've been waiting for your HONEST review of the arrma fireteam before I pull the trigger and spend about $800. Got tired of hearing all the fan girls.... I mean fan boys rave about it. If it can handle Kevin's abuse, it must be a good product. I think I'll pull the trigger now and get one of my own. M2C needs to release a chassis brace for it like they have for the X-Maxx. Your honest opinion is always greatly appreciated.

[@TheflyingkiwiRC]

I think Arrma orders for this just went up a whole lot. Great review Kev. Your positivity is just awesome. Thanks 💯😎

[@lloydlacasse7552]

I'd always prefer 100% honesty I do expect most things like RC cars and planes and stuff to break when you use them it's why we get upgrade parts companies need to understand that you're not building a tank it's an RC car it most likely will break Love your channel kav

Kevins energy and enthusiasm is contagious. Always enjoy the videos

[@daveshank1921]

I reckon I like the way it looks. But dont like the tires.

[@rjarvi84]

Very impressive durability. I have had rc that couldn't take a single landing like that without snapping all the connectors from wheel to chassis.

[@MACISUS]

I’m with you about the body. Wish they sold it with other option.

[@jaysongoodman6874]

So far I'm impressed and wouldn't mind getting one to do some serious bashing, thanks for the review Kev.

[@paulrybarczyk5013]

I've only owned 2S and 3S Traxxas cars until now, but I've wanted to get something 6S that's big and fast and scale and stable and tough with big tires. Unfortunately, I don't think Traxxas has anything that checks all of those boxes. X-Maxx is missing the stability, Sledge is missing the scale look, etc. The Fireteam seems to have it all, and I LOVE the way it looks!

[@willb7184]

You definitely are my source of product toughness !!! And you definitely prove it more than once !! Thx man !!! I love my traxxas and learned to accept some others cause of your extensive testing and updates

[@Jeremiah_Johnson139]

[@shanemorris419]

Hey Kev, do you ever adjust the shocks before you take a truck out like this? Is it better to slap the chassis or blow off the shock caps?

[@Bee_Bill287]

seriously impressed that took a pounding, I built a 1/5 scale Baja and first run out it flipped about 10 times and snapped all the steering and front wishbones, replaced them all with metal pieces and sold it... LOL..

[@Slikx666]

Kev. If companies don't like you saying honest things about their products then they must be hiding something, I'd rather know what could be a fault before buying something so I can buy any upgrades. But I'm impressed with that machine, it lasted a full video. 😋👍

Awesome video again Kev! This truck looks great, I might consider replacing my eRevo with it eventually!

[@rhoonah5849]

Pretty cool. I still have a bunch of vintage RC cars from back in the day. I have 3 Associated RC10s (one in the truck configuration). From Tamiya, I have a Hornet, Bruiser, Monster Beetle, Porsche 959 and Lunch Box. I also have a Marui Hunter and Mugen Bulldog. I had many other cars throughout my old RC car enthusiast history because I used to buy them, fix them up and sell them as a kid. The Toyota Bruiser is probably the most unique of my collection since it was so expensive back in the day. I think it cost over $300 and the batter was like another $100 and it required a 4-channel controller. It still runs too... took it out a few years ago. As a kid, I used to tow myself around the neighborhood on my skateboard with it :)

[@johnlincoln4616]

The fact that they charge this much and it doesn’t come with the dx3 remote and avc receiver is absurd.

[@ccrum32]

Well. Why would you want avc on a car thats meant for “drifting” and when this car is a pro-only kinda car. Im not an arrma fanboy but its just upsetting to see this good of a car get a bad review because it doesn’t have steering assist for babies.

[@TheNamesArif]

gyro's not really needed for this type of car

[@ianbudgetrc2574]

This is why a roller kit version of this is more preferable..

[@murkem2475]

[@ifly65]

Great videos! Honest reviews are admirable. People might not realize Kevin is a kick ass heli pilot. Thanks!!!

[@kolanks1]

Have you tried driving some of the arrma's with the chassis bent until it causes a problem? If be curious after they're bent a bit how long till it creates a problem with driveline etc? Seems silly but I wonder if maybe they bend a bit till there is pressure on the braces and then stop, and if so whether that bend would become a bigger issue. Great videos!!

[@TheflyingkiwiRC]

Interesting point. Kev still got 58mph with the slightly bent chassis and RCDude81 was still ripping his with a bent chassis.

[@ValFPV]

a slight bend doesn't cause any problems

[@LeoRileyShines]

Yeah, I agree with a bunch of you. It's like we want to see the vehicles tested, but the way he just shoves them off tables and what not shows he isn't very modest about his success as far as respecting his things. When you get too much money for not really any real work, you tend to not appreciate or care for the items and that's evident here. A bit more modesty could do this chap some good.

[@brokenspokesxl]

My son managed to snap an M2C kraton chassis completely in half up at the front bulkhead................... Clean snap.

[@andyb9994]

You have me sold, nobody beat the hell out of it like you did...I'm stopping at my local hobby shop here very shortly...vid is not even over yet but I will not beat it even close to what you did....👍👍

[@ShenRC]

Bashed real good! A bug body would be sweet on it!! I am wondering if that roll cage body actually helps with the chassis not flexing or when you land on the top of the body the roll cage helps protect the chassis from impacts why it was hard to bend the chassis?

I picked one up last week , fast , durable so far , fun to drive . However , The only negative point up to now is the body , im hoping it grows on me and i can look past it . Didnt think i would find that an issue when i bought it , but its lingering over me. I think its the action figures , driver , passengers what ever you want to call them . Every time i look at it , i think of my young sons fisher price toys , it just seem a little out of place , two would have been enough . Thats just my opinion , the most important question is , does it make me smile , i cant lie it certainly does , and thats what the hobby is all about
