And what.

[@carling5214]

@@KevinTalbotTV Thanks Kevin, that's decided it. Will get the MT10. I'm just looking to get back into having an RC truck since having nitros in early 2000s, and just want something not crazy expensive and durable. It won't be taking a pounding either like you test them out, so should be ideal lol. The only thing no one can seem to answer me on is if the MT10 is okay to run through puddles etc. It's noted as water resistant, where as other models show waterproof. Don't want to write it off in the first 5 minutes. Your vids are great and it's your fault I want to buy one haha

[@liamoutdoors5504]

I love RC cars they’re so cool

My brother bought his 6 year old son a Bigfoot this summer. SO many hours of entertainment he got out of that thing with only one minor cheap breakage. I made him an adjustable ramp and it works great!

[@billyhighfill]

Amen to that Kevin. This hobby is about having fun. Smiling. Enjoying your time. People love to hate on others builds and ideas…so sad…enjoy what others make!! Even if it isn’t your cup of tea!! No one is making you drink it. Lol. Some people enjoy shelf queens. THATS FINE. Others like me bash and break all the time. That’s fine. Have fun. Get outside. Make new friends. 🤷‍♂️🤜🤛

[@justinjones5281]

Tip for the arrma 6 s users. Keep it as light as possible. 5000 ma/h battery. Every upgrade creates a metal to plastic connection. I prefer all the stock configurations, just make sure your drewp screws are set, and if you take a bad hit, look it over so as to not have a lose screw that could have been replaced before destroying the tail or the servo etc. Put a new servo in it when you can handle it on 6 s. The steering is fine for 4 s or tame 6 s running. Outcast being the most stout for bashing, but the tail wing is a weak spot. Upgrade the tail wing to a tbone or rpm skid wheelie bar.

[@joefetty3441]

Hey Kev! Been watching your channel for a long time now. I’m from a small town called FarmVille Virginia US. My 4 year old an I watch your videos in our down time. Last night he said “daddy can we go drive rc cars with him? He jumps to the moon!” He doesn’t understand how far away you are lol. But I figured that might give you a laugh. Makin kids happy and fall in love with the hobby. Keep it up man thank you for the peace and quiet when he’s zoned out watching you! Priceless.

[@PrizelTatzeRC]

Nice video and good tips. I would take all of them because the hobby is just awesome. Bashing is fun with the kid and crawling when you're alone. For beginners, my pick is the Arrma Granite 3s - incredibly stable and powerful🔥🔥🔥

[@Fpsnut]

I would say Arrma Big Rock 3s is a nice (maybe even best?) alternative to MT10. Was surprised he didn't mention it when he was comparing MT10 to all the other similar cars.

[@jacksonburch487]

I bought a slash 4x4 and I love it it’s amazing but I had a very bad crash recently going about 50 miles an hour into a pile of logs and I have about 100 dollars of damage but you know other than that it’s a 10/10 car

[@roxannewolfofficial]

Have a granite and it's unbelievable how it survived a hard Landing

[@DMNCelestialBrawl]

@@Fpsnut its beacuse he gave it to stempy so he doesnt have it to compare

[@davidconaway2830]

For those of us without nearly as many cars and trucks as you.......we smile watching you bash and crash. Thank you Kevin!

[@lonnymcgee1762]

You are absolutely right about getting or having the RC car that pits the biggest smile on YOUR face. It's all about having fun. You rock Kevin. Thanks for the great shows.

[@jimyed]

I genuinely love the look on Kevin's face when he's driving and bashing these cars and trucks. Already have too many other things going to devote time or money to RC at the moment so I'm living vicariously through these vids. Thanks

[@walter9724]

That moving backflip off the back of the other truck was absolutely EPIC 🤘

[@ClevelandRips]

Man, that collection is getting “MAHOOOSIVE!” 🤜💥🤛

[@muskokamike127]

wait until he moves to a new location he'll realize just how mahoosive it is lol...I say "everyone should move every 5 years"

[@bhardison1869]

Great introductions, but that notorious backflip off the Xmaxx was sick!

[@pomsrcadventures8482]

They all put a smile on my face.

[@based_will]

I’ve owned an xmaxx, maxx, slash, stampede 4x4, e revo, rustler, granite, infraction, outcast 8s EXB and a Kraton 6s EXB. My favorite definetly the Arrma 6s platform. Handles like a dream not only on the ground but in the air as well. And like kev said, with some tweaks they are tough as nails. I just built myself a Kraton XL/fireteam and can’t wait to run it

[@newamericatowguy3633]

I absolutely love videos like this! Gives us all including the real newbies a glimpse into what our options are and input on our favorite vehicles!

[@jmt567]

Thank you Kevin for reminding me of my love for this hobby.... your love is contagious! , after 20 years out of the hobby, I bought a mini maxx about two years ago and love it to the moon! Much love brother from Canada

[@theprairietinkerer]

Great video. I used to work at a Canadian Tire store in the shop changing tires and doing oil changes. Two things used to happen right after Christmas. First, everybody was out of money from the holidays and the shop was real slow. Second, the store side of things would discount everything heavily. So the guys from the shop would go buy the toy grade R/C's that were on sale, and most would spend no more than 50 dollars Canadian. We would load up on batteries and have an absolute laugh running them on the shop floor. The fun thing at the time is they only had a couple frequencies so one guy would turn his radio on and goof with someone with the same frequency car.

[@eskimojoe6564]

Gotta love all RC’s

[@exp2tr10t]

Well done! Interested in your opinion on the XRT, whenever you can get a hold of one.

[@Jasta315]

Xmaxx all day. I've had a ton of RC cars over the past 20yrs and the Xmaxx blows them all away. Love it.

[@jodygowland2082]

I enjoy watching and getting my RC fix from your vids ever since I was taken off work for medical reasons and had to sell off my RCS for bills and living expenses, I never bashed as hard as you kev but if I am ever able to get back into the hobby it's good to know what RCS are durable thanks to your vids.

[@dangrady2938]

He's a down to earth guy , who's living life on his own terms , being rich and having lots of money are two different things entirely . I am not well off ,but I know the value of what I want to buy with my hard earned cash , so hats off to you Kev for making your dreams possible .

[@jasonadams7991]

Nice to see the LMT getting some love :-) I got one in the summer and it has become my favorite RC. Thanks for all the great vids!!

[@TaigaTurf]

That USA 1 with .21 nitro was the baddest out there back in the 90s. Well tuned and zippy

[@muskokamike127]

10:26 I worked in a cabinet shop and the first week I was there I saw a rack of trim routers and full sized routers. "why so many"? Each is set up for round over, chamfer, flush cut, template etc. "it takes about 30 minutes to change over a bit and set it up, do that twice or three times and it's paid for the router" so now whenever I need to flush trim, I just grab the one with the flush trim bit. It worked so well when I opened my own shop I had the same. Whenever I saw one at a garage sale or whatever, I bought one. I had 14 at one point. As for drills: I have 6 now. Why? Have one in my paint area for mixing paint, a small one for tiny drill bits, an ugga dugga for screwdriving, one in my cnc area for attaching things to the spoiler board. Why not? Saves me having to walk back and forth across the shop a dozen times a day. PLUS? A kit with 2 batteries and charger is the same price as 2 batteries. If you keep your eyes open when you're out and about you see them on deep discounts when that model gets discontinued. I was going through home depot and saw a stack of bosch drills: $59.99 CDN. 2 batteries charger and drill. I bought 3...the batteries alone sell for $129,99. I got back to the job site and sold 2 for $80.00 each.

[@justinjones5281]

Been watching for many years. Cheers mate for staying the same. Not many channels stay acourse. Thanks again Kev 🤙

[@Silverandgoldgiveaways]

My favorite is the traxxas summit 1/10. You know you would be a great friend to have, so kind caring and helpful to everyone! Hopefully I can take a trip to the UK and meet you someday.

[@Irvineshark]

You video are the best I just got Rc car my first hope you keep making more videos ❤

[@SOMNIOHM]

And this is why you are TOP CONTENT CREATOR!!! 🖤🖤🔥🔥 Your edits are just next level! I know this one had to take you a good minute to create!!!

[@taycanair4108]

Kev, I would love to see you check out the NEW Traxxas TRX4M, which is a 1/18th scale mini TRX4 crawler that just came out!! More Mini Crawler videos please :)

[@davidlewis620]

Can't wait for the next video, the worst rc cars of 2022!!! That's the one I really want to see. Hurry up Kev and bring it on!!!!

[@PCXMODSGR]

Kev you could add touring cars to the best RC cars! I will add the Xray X4! Not a basher although meetings with walls and others are in order :P! Nice video tho as always!

[@Cliff_the_hobbygeek]

Just found your channel. I used to race short course, but sold everything off. Now, after watching, I need a basher. I love your enthusiasm for the hobby.

[@wendyon4517]

I respect these types of videos. Kevin has so many cars, beats the snot out of them and is pretty clear about why he likes each one.

[@Olliebeans10]

I drove my traxxas slash ultimate for the first time and It rips!

[@Olliebeans10]

I drove it at a American football field today

[@cherielivingstone588]

You always put a smile on my face thanks kev

[@ohpomm7598]

Suprised that the traxxas maxx v2 isnt on here. Good Video!

[@TheTonester2312]

My nitro T-Maxx with the O.S. carb and O.S. tuned pipe is Gold 🥇 Love my electrics though, definitely easy.

[@williamwerner9150]

You brought back some memories bro, of my day and his RC days growing up around so much fun...

[@randomblob9140]

I love racing on road nitroRC cars and off road nitro they are my everything😍

[@VehiclesVsWater]

Awesome video dude perfect timing for the best Christmas presents

[@bigchungus-oj8zz]

Thank you Kevin for for sharing your unbridled passion and infectious enthusiasm in our great hobby of RC vehicles. Your videos absolutely guarantee the biggest smiles in the business. Long time sub. Keep ‘em coming bro!

[@atticusbeachcruise8657]

Yo Kev! definitely think that the mt8 should be on the worst rc car list. That rc was a big letdown

[@ryanmac8829]

I remember seeing Traxxas ads in Radio Control Car magazines for the first time in the very early 90s. They didn’t have much market share then. It was a battle between Associated and Losi for the most part, with Kyosho practically owning the 4WD and 1/8 market.

[@Real5fps]

Huuuuuh another cool year with RC cars

[@STORM_RCS_BG]

I love how Kevin brings joy to this hobby it makes us know that we all have someone to look up to and who's honest about it and the motivation of these vids brings big smiles on everyone's faces we love you Kev.

[@DadsRCHangar]

So much to choose from, lots of fun to be had. 👍🏻

[@djodjodubois9458]

every time I see your collection of Monster Rc.. I'm drooling.. too good for the pleasure of the eyes

[@HappyDude1]

You know what i would like to see 2 stroke boats planes and cars 😀

[@aarongingrich3831]

Sledge comment: I'm a big Arrma fan. I have 20+ high-end RC cars with all the upgrades on all of them.... except the Sledge. It doesn't actually need much. Right out of the box, the thing is great. I've been hard on it and everything has held up very well.

[@wednesday0602]

8:11 That was so smooth XD~~

[@bnealerc]

Good luck at ROSSA Kev! I very much look forward to seeing you and Raz team up again. You guys make a great team and I'm sure one of you will get the record if the conditions are good enough.

[@randall4411]

Thank God for Kevin's over the top bashing videos . I'm only concerned about my smile .

[@williamphillips1922]

Id also like to see a video on you ranking rc motors and esc as well as other parts. You have years of experience plus you are always experimenting with so many different brands and combos you have alot better overall knowledge than the average joe

[@carstenl87]

I'm glad you added the nitro models as an honorable mention in the end of the video, they really are so much fun, even though they are harder to tune and adjust to run properly!

[@8bitisthesh1telwell74]

I have been watching your channel forever. It still blows me away that you still have some haters. Every video you create offer's amazing content. I think most people forget you offer it to us for free! Oh well. I guess it's true what they say "you can't fix stupid" lol. I figured it's time to give you a holiday shout out. You are an amazing content creator. Happy holidays and thank you for all you do Kevin.

[@SXV2752]

I lit up when you said the HPI savage is one of your favorites. I still have my original 20-ish year old Savage 21. Got it as a kid and brought it back to life in 2020 with new motor and electronics. Still my favorite to play with even over my Arrma Fireteam. Great vid!

[@wikyWargaming]

The Sledge is pretty ridiculously durable in my experience. No upgrades needed, aside from the tires as they do like to come off the rim.

[@thehammerofwrath4293]

I think your opinion is right where it should be. We all smile more when we just enjoy life. You are an amazing ambassador for all rc cars!

[@jodychadd667]

I love your vids and enthusiasm but let’s be honest 5T 2.0 tuned pipe in standard form , one of the best Rc cars ever , drive all day , no battery issues and an absolute beast and with the sound to go with it , no I need more lipo nonsense , oh yeah 😊

[@cherielivingstone588]

I just got a arrma mojave 5 days ago and I love it 😀 can't wait until you use yours again

[@markcaldwell9664]

Hey Kevin i can not wait to see you get that record 205 MPH Next summer, you got it mate!

[@adamgriff7286]

It was nice to hear you using "out of the blue" again at the end. I love that tune and you've not used it for a couple of years now 👊

[@98kouki123]

Kev’s ultimate baller move, a dewalt impact for every tip. Love you man. Lol

[@crashpiet8679]

I miss the slash 4x4 on the list. Great list ,

[@Leverposteilover]

LOL

[@jacksonburch487]

Same I have one after seeing how much he talked about it a few years ago and I also have a maxx which I am also surprised is not on the list

[@neilg3464]

Kev it’s funny how you say the suspension on the UDR looks super realistic. The thing is it is very realistic but I know what you mean lol so don’t get offended I’m just putting my two cents in. It’s very realistic to an RC truck and it resembles the real trucks very closely. I love your channel dude you’re so cool and easy going and you seem to be very genuine. I wish I could go to England and meet you one day.

[@PHOENIXYT626]

Nice video, can't afford these rc cars, but it is nice to know that other people enjoy them.

[@RCLandslide]

Kev you're 100% right, the best RC is the one that makes you happiest! I personally love the Xmaxx, Outcast 8s. I would like to get something nitro but I don't know if I'm ready for another fuel bill, LETS GO BRANDON! haha.

[@wylinout2257]

YES!!! The Kevin Talbot list 🔥🔥👍

[@neecum]

5:15 my favorite videos from Kevin OP= OverPowered 16:27 Same in Czech republic... I am still waiting... 12.1.2023 I guess present for new year...

[@jonfuller8845]

So I have an XMaxx and love it. For variety I got a Typhon 3s a few months ago. I also have a hybrid of a rustler/slash with a Baja body. Still really enjoy 3s. I also have a few Tamiya shelf queens, Lunchbox, Grasshopper etc. Different cars for different occasions. Yes the XMaxx is my favourite but they all put a smile on my face.

[@kevinporter]

Perfect timing kev 🤟

[@rcocm]

I have recently subscribed having had some fun with nitro cars 'back in the day' but I find Kevs enthusiasm, energy sense of humour and whit makes all the difference to just watching rc cars going round. Just brilliant entertainment all round 👌 Thanks Kev, great work, I'm in awe! 😜

[@emersonnusbaum5120]

iv been slowly getting closer to my goal of owning an E revo. thanks to insperation from you and your vids iv built up 3 TT01's that run sweet and look epic to sell on marketplace.. that should bring in most of the funds i need for my traxxas. getting closer

[@boukeeisma9995]

Hi Kevin, Just wanted to say your content is absolutely stunning! But I also wanted to ask you if you have tried some Absima RC's allready? Because I've had a Absima AMT2.4 Brushless and it's not durable at all. Also the reciever's range is very poor. I would love to see a video about some Absima RC cars. Keep on rocking sir! Greetings from the Netherlands

Nice I think they finally made a gas power grave digger the rammanator size i think I’ll have to look it up again

[@Ckfabworks]

I actually 100percent agree with your list seamed perfectly reasonable especially considering how hard you bash. thanks for a great video

[@freddafishy]

Amazing video. Love how much you covered and the good and bad of it all. But more importantly, I appreciate your emphasis on choosing the car that “puts a bigger smile on your face.” Great advice. Thanks for a great year!

i just found your channel (new to hobby) and really love your positivity

[@cjchannel12RC]

Cool video Kev, There are some of your favorite RC's that are on my favorite list like the X-Maxx and the Infraction 6s V2. My top 10 favorites so far this year are the X-Maxx, 5ive T, Slash 4x4 Platinum\Ultimate, XO-1, Infraction 6s, Sledge, Hoss, Vendetta 3s, B74.1, Slash 2wd VXL. Nice to hear your top 10's can't wait to see what next year brings in.

The biggest thing I agree with is that it is your opinion. Thanks so much for what you do. Keep on keeping on.

Came across this vid from a cpl months ago, I like your top picks, and not only do you have more Rcs than anybody on all of KZbin but you have some of the best places I've ever seen to run all these beasts!! I often wonder are you traveling far to find all the parks and open spaces to run all your trucks or is everything within a stone's throw away from you. Awesome stuff Kev keep it Rollin Buddy
