I'm impressed, didn't see the body fly off one time. Finally Traxxas got it right on the mount system

[@WowoodogPlays]

I am happy to see this on the channel. That faulty esc is not good though, traxxas needs to fix that.

[@allanritchie1539]

Yeah, had that happen twice on my Erevo, you have to send it back with the motor to get it sorted, too much down time, you get it back it lasts three runs then it goes again. Time to fit another esc, sorted.😊😊😊

[@TheflyingkiwiRC]

Only $700 for the car so who's gong to care about a faulty speed controller 😮

Brilliant video kev lookin forward to getting my nitro car out now your vids are brilliant 👍🏻

[@RC-4-LIFE]

I really enjoy your videos Kev!! Of course we’re all not gonna agree with everything. I disagree with the video headline that this is the best RC of the year. Maybe most durable. But for $700 you get a plastic geared servo, short shocks that aren’t the right size and overpriced wheels that have no grip. It doesn’t drive very well as far as an SCT should. Still thanks for the entertainment factor! You really do know how to test these trucks for their breaking point! Even if it breaks in 5 minutes!

[@rcfools]

Agreed. Overpriced.

[@bobbarker4601]

I was interested in this car!! But after seeing the first one die so quick! It's too much for what you get!

@@rustler08 a brick is pretty durable too but it’s not gonna drive very good now is it?! It’s not a basher! It’s a drivers kind of truck that doesn’t handle the way it should compared to cheaper trucks with quality parts.

You made me feel wayyy better about getting this car everyone else was complaining and calling it hot trash

[@KevinTalbotTV]

if they haven't actually used one their opinion has no value :)

[@heathabercrombie1039]

The value is what the majority of the RC Hobby enthusiast say and they say it sucks. The first one showed it’s true colors and let’s face it. They’re not selling that good in the hobby stores. I got several stores around me and I know the salesman.

[@jca8706]

I got mine and don’t regret it one bit! So fun to bash with it

​@KevinTalbotTV that's what I always say too Kevin. Why would I give a flying fk what some random dude thinks? Lol better things to worry about.

[@gamervaze1]

11:01 i love how it sounds like actual car tire scrapes

[@FarmerFpv]

Kevin I just learned something new with the Losi Promoto MX. If you tilt the receiver forward a little bit on the mount just twist it so the left top corner is facing forward. basically leaning at a forward angle the throttle will not cut when hitting the big jumps at the skate park. You lean it forward enough just to trick it into thinking it's still not past its wheelie tipping point. It works like a charm. We learned this while we were racing them and jumping them at the amain hobby race track. You put it on offroad mode it works best.

[@cloudpandarism2627]

[@kevintrappen8007]

Amazing! Anything that can handle your torture test is a serious winner!

Yeah the first one lasted so long

[@kevinherndon4509]

Pro tip: Put a piece of dense foam in your Arrma Mojave body mounts and zip tie it on and you should save yourself a bunch of headache 👍🏼

[@derekgardin1512]

Yep my brother took the foam bumper off of one of his TT02 shelf queens and cut it up and zip ties it under the body mounts and never broke since.

Oh yeah bro . Sweet . I spray them down and use a powerful blower , but not too powerful . I was using the air compressor which is more surgical blowing , lol . I was doing yard work one day and had a craftsman blower with the big battery and used it after spraying some silicone oil and it dries so nice and …dry . Seems like it keeps it fresh looking . The wheel to center area and the fin on the Kraton 1/8 even looks new with scratches . Everyone knows this already probably .
