I broke this exact same part on my maximus doing a failed back flip... I added the zombie spoiler/mount to it and it gives it that extra support for the back shock tower brace. It has been bullet proof ever since! Can't wait to see it fixed and brought back!

[@snjert8406]

Dude. Youve inspired me(a total newbie in taking things apart) to fully rebuild my brushed 1/16 e revo after nine years of abuse! We'll see how bad the bearings are(some have quite a lot of slop already)

[@mark675]

Pat winding up the arrma fanboys 😂

[@steveblackbird]

innit!! Love it... Hella funny... they'll all break when you do silly stuff... Build, drive, break, rebuild.... repeat

[@matthewneufer1758]

They were both Fanboys in the beginning

I had thought these DHK rigs were tough but I guess not KT TUFF!

[@magicyeti9256]

Kevin Talbot & PatMan 4:16 "thats whot she say'd" 🤣

[@AckageHSC]

The arrma chassis would have been bent like a pretzel after the skate park, I'd say this held up quite well

[@hirthirthirt1693]

Same I thought....

[@jesseross6491]

I have the arrma kraton 6's BLX insidious and I got the 1/8th scale team corally six s dementor ..and I just ordered two of these dhk max 1/8th .. did I buy smart I paid 165 and change for two without batteries ?

[@callumtierney2528]

The one problem with my Dhk Maximus is the shock towers and the drive shafts always gives first

[@rajaandrathi1645]

Destroy the a959 till everything is broken kev and add stupidly fast motor to it it would be cool

[@maximumrpm1868]

Guaranteed the first thing to go is going to be the death mine blue just from regular driving

All the stock aluminum parts on that car are awesome! Traxxas needs to step up their game.

That Maximus looks badass ,KEV THE DESTROYER "WHAT HAPPENED"!!!

[@nathanz602]

I think Pat hates Arrma's. Lol Kev you neeeeed to get a 3s BLX series Arrma, they are easy to work on, fast, and have a very durable chassis, suspension, and from what I know the diffs are good if you are on 3s.

[@schmee1974]

Hey Kev, your editing and filming skills are really getting brilliant! Keep up the great work Buddy!

[@brettdurkee9701]

My DHK Maximus broke in the same spot and I was in dirt, not the skate park. It seems to break every time I use it. Locktite wheel lugnuts and every screw you can...the screws are coarse threaded and come out fast. Fun truck, JLB Cheetah 120a is way more durable.😁

[@dinky_toys]

Will you do another Video with the Vkar Bison? I really enjoyed these!!

[@netcruzer]

Can't really fault it for snapping a plastic shock tower mount on the diff case from landing 30ft on it's head. Tough Truck! Just not sure if I want the DHK Zombie or Maximus. I like it uses normal style bearing carriers in the rear end, instead of the JLB Cheetah pivot balls.

[@stevenadams5943]

I knew that's exactly where the truck would break, like I said in my first post your going to have to just break down and buy the upgraded aluminum rear diff housing, then add another rear shock tower to it by trimming the bottom half off and "sandwiching" those 2 together then my truck has become nearly bullet proof ;-)

[@mailmanx69]

Nothing is indestructable, especially in the talented hands of Kevin Talbot! However, the DHK Maximus is an excellent and sturdy machine for a fair price.

[@rifterbeplaying4028]

At the end and, the way the mic picked up you saying perfectly. It was like PPPPPPPHHHHerfictly

[@rifterbeplaying4028]

[@blasterrida1]

The rear shock tower mounting point seems to be the weakest link on this truck. DHK makes an aluminum gear box upgrade which is a bit pricey but should fix the issue.

[@zubuxstein]

You got the best crew to hang out with. What an awesome bashin session - OOOHhhhhhhhhh ! LOLz

[@swahdog]

To be honest you did hit a tree branch mid air and it dropped straight down on the top of the shock tower. It was a very fast and high drop so most RC Cars would be damaged from that drop. I have had damage to my Kratton from a drop straight like that. I think I might get one if it is cheap as you say. It looks really good.

[@KurNorock]

I don't think I've ever seen a shock tower just break off like that. I've broken shock towers but never tore them clean off.

[@shaifulzairinmohd.affindi1379]

Kevin make some video for your first rc car I hope you agree. thank u

[@dennisnorman1908]

Not bad for a cheap RC and I see that you up graded your e Revo and it's working good now keep making videos very entertaining

Looks pretty durable to me chief!

Can you make a review about the Bsr Sabertooth

[@mikewright84]

what happened to the drone drop with the wltoys? looking foward to it, if its still happening :)

[@Tokatt]

since you always make such huge jumps trie attaching wings to the cars and see if they can fly for a bit. Or glide a little

[@healthiswealth8153]

what do you think about putting some thin wire around the tires to stop them ballooning? i saw it in another youtube wondered if it had any benefits?

[@zevaneleven]

get an x-01 and jump it at the skate park

[@traxrc]

What kinda adhesive are you using on your GoPro? Love you videos btw. You guys are the reason I got back into RC’s.

[@georgepapamichail1006]

Kevin, do you have a 15 Kg servo that can actually fit the chassis of this rc ? Cause with the current servo it wobbles quite a lot for it's speed and size

[@alexbreton2719]

How do you stick your gopro?

[@ezedijital7222]

Hey Kevin think you could review the VRX COBRA?? Would like to see that at the skate park!

been waiting for this!! epic stuff kev!

[@euanwalmsley1234]

You should do more cheap Rc car and test them through everything

[@rcbashersandracers4841]

The DHK maximus is not comparable to the traxxas x-maxx but it cool for a starter looks epic

[@hizzztcomfort3336]

Hi kev i am new to a hobby... Im planning to buy one... But i want to know which is better in durability jlbj3 speed or dhk maximus?

[@kylemarkham4848]

The skate park is always fun

[@themaninthemirror3447]

That is literally the only place it breaks buy the metal upgrade and it will last forever. I did the same thing to mine and now it is unable to break

[@MegaCrazyg123]

The Man in The mirror are you talking about a metal diff case, I was debating getting one of these but I don’t want my shock tower snapping randomly

[@tuffytoys9707]

Dude. If you want Tough bashing toys then the TEAM ASSOCIATED RC8.2, Electric or Nitro Buggy or truggy Kit version is best for Durability and racing, Also the Mugen is a tough Buggy. But get the kit versions that you have to build and add a few extra metal/Alluminum Upgrades. Best RCs in my Opinion.

[@IHOPTHIS]

Looks like a similar chassis to the HPI bullet 3.0

[@SeventyRS]

How do keep the gopro attached on the body, I can't quite see how it's mounted.

[@Vtecman85]

kev, xmaxx Vs kraton what's best in your opinion? 👍

At the end you say it's not as tough as this one or this one, which ones are those? What's the best value rugged RC Car? (under 1000$, well under if possible)

[@masonclayton6066]

I was so excited for the test.

[@subble]

Hey Kev, chasing your videos ^^ - would you rather recommend a DHK Maximus, Zombie oder ZD Pirates 3/Eachine EAT02 if available at nearly the same price for a kind of beginner in that scale? Also regarding the battery/upgradeable/parts situation as well as "normal" durability, not your bashing from hell 😅 thx in advance and keep up your aweseome videos! 😬🤘

[@RcKing-jk2yi]

To you kev anything is possible. keep it up dude👍

[@kem2011]

Is there any reason why mine is so slow? I just got this truck and it won't go faster than max throttle trim.. I've calibrated the ESC but it's still so slow. Got the 4S battery setup with batteries fully charged. Don't know where I'm going wrong..

[@harryharris5629]

Kev what is your must do upgrade to a slash 4x4. Because I want to start bashing. Thanks

[@A_Man_In_His_Van]

First thing I would do is upgrade to a senton blx.

[@keithrozeski8463]

$320 for this pile is not cheap. But with 2 lipo its actually not a bad deal.

Your take on the xmaxx taking a beating? I am having a hard time on deciding. My Outcast has been the most strongest RC I have so far. I bash my outcast hard too. And it takes it. Not saying I was a fan for it is kinda ugly. But it grows on you. And starts to look actually sweet.
