Hi kev I’m a big fan who started to watch this year

[@Dirtbikeleo]

Hi, I’m a really big fan. I’ve been watching you for eight years since you started and I’m going two of your RC cars today

[@jscottsimms9]

If you're a newbie avoid gas/nitro. It's 10x more maintenance and if you can't maintain a electric rc, you won't be able to maintain a nitro/gas

[@KevinTalbotTV]

Nitro is a pain in the but but petrol not too bad

[@Deekm69]

It was the 1st thing I did, couldn't get use to the engine, to much messing around trying to start it, I never looked at Rc's again

[@JerickWallace]

@@Deekm69 get an electric rc youll have a blast

[@AlCasa52]

It's not 10x more maintenance. In general, don't get any rc car if you aren't slightly mechanically inclined and willing to turn screws. Electric will require knowledge and upkeeping of batteries and charging. putting them in storage mode etc... A nitro will require keeping engine lubricated during storage and keeping fuel out of carb/engine. Tuning is not what most people describe it as. It takes very slight adjustments as needed. Electric motors and ESC are very finacky. You need to be well skilled in soldering connections properly. I found electronics much more annoying to troubleshoot. Dealing with programming etc... Nitros are all mechanical when it comes to issues. Once you learn the basics, there are clear reasons why you may have trouble starting an engine, or issues with the drive gear. I find it more satisfying to work on and more rewarding when working. Adjusting little things to have the car behave differently and get more power/speed. With electric you can change the gearing or put a different battery pack. Changing both of these usually lead to engine/esc overheating and seizing or fires. Nitros you can change many things from fuel type, exhaust/header, carbs and carb adjustment, gearing, upgrading crankshafts/bearings.

Electric for me. Seems to have quicker throttle response in watching the video but slower top speed. Can’t go wrong with either.

[@jameshansing5396]

Im not even into RC cars but this channel has to be my favourite right now. Kevin is a crazy f*cking legend of a human being ... TUMBLE WUMBLE!

My neighbors would LOVE me to drive this around my garden on weekends!

[@sheiladavis2304]

OMG Kev! I gotta go old school and pick the grave digger. It's just so big loud and obnoxious. That one air you pulled off in the skatepark where you got inverted and then brought it back down was soooo sick. The slowmo of that super jump into the grass was epic too. Imagine how high that would have been scaled up to monster truck size? It would have to be like a ten to 15 story jump!! When you stuffed the front end on landing in slow mo it looked like someone breaking their ankle😅😂

[@Hellseeker1]

Kevin sitting in between them really puts them in perspective how massive these are.

[@muskokamike127]

and how small kevvie is hahahah

[@Orange-lemon_gaming]

You know that the grave digger is loud when we’re struggling to hear kev shouting over the sound of the engine

[@cryptonight4860]

I like them both, each one has its own place. That Taylor sounds healthy!

#1 RC Guy on the planet.👍

[@jarredhagie838]

I'm a big fan of the gas/nitro rc stuff, I know it's slower but it's the tinkering aspect of it that interests me. I love tuning, adjusting a real combustion engine. The noise and smell are also reasons. I do have some electric rcs and their way faster and more reliable and I enjoy them just as much but it's hard to beat an old fashion smoke blowing noise maker

[@5280Recreation]

I never comment, but I love your videos so much! Electric all day long!

[@kloochzamok5885]

Huge thanks to you and (the crew Andy, Clair, 8s and so on) for all your videos on so many different vehicles. I finally got a cheaper buggy, and it put a big smile on my face . Looking forward to progressing in this hobby via your vids. Thanks so much for your time.

Hi Kev I love how you have been posting more gas and nitro content. And when I saw your revo videos it inspired me to get one. Love the videos, keep up the good work 👍👍

[@nathandrel]

I love them petrol models, however my community was not so welcoming to my Losi Baja Truck. Switched it to electrics, nobody complains anymore (or at least not for the noise ;))

[@eldonprince6026]

[@bswinny6682]

The” Trololo “song when “wasted” is pure genius 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙌🙌🙌😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@ReynoldsThemeparkAdventures]

To be honest, I was quite surprised to see the gas powered having a better top end than the brushless! 👀 Nitro is all cool for the smell and noise, but since electric got seriously quick I haven't looked back once! But the race outcome was very surprising. 💯👌🏻

[@Nick-bc2lm]

Imagine this truck having a Nitro engine on it... wish those running v8 model engines had the power to run this truck. That would be the engine to have.

[@EdirtySicks]

Kevin I’m a long time fan. If you want rear wheel steering to work at speed you need more CASTER. The caster effect is what a shopping car wheel does to stay straight. Same thing for a “safety bicycle.” It is absolutely required in a 2 or 4 wheel vehicle to get the front wheels to return to center. With rear wheel steering at high speed I would assume you need caster in the rear too… ✌️good luck I enjoy your content

[@FreddyMueller-sn2gt]

Last words an RC car hears before breaking a bone: OOOOOOOHHHHHH!!!!

[@simplegr33n420]

8:29 sick recovery!

[@Great_Dane312]

I would 100% take gas. So much better in my eyes. I’ve already got a neighbor that revs his cars engine at 3 in the morning and wakes everyone up, I’m sure no one would mind me pissing about in the street with it for 10-20 minutes.

[@christinaoliva858]

That grave digger makes more noise than my dad snoring 😂😂😂

[@Axiomatic75]

I like the smell and sound of a 2 stroke engine but electric is definitely less of a hassle.

[@muskokamike127]

Well, if you properly maintain the gas one, it's no diff than a lawnmower. The ISSUE is they are so small, the carbs etc are prone to clogging, and they are more sensitive to atmospheric pressure etc which is why all cars are EFI now. The computer measures how much air is going in, how dense it is, then adjusts the fuel amt accordingly. You're the computer in carbed engines.

[@doric_historic]

I never knew RC stuff had got so large until watching this channel and i do not even own any RC stuff. Great channel Mr. Talbot...

You should have flipped the servo then shortened thr servo arm.. Thanks for the channel btw. Big thanks. Your channel made me buy my son an rc car for christmas .😊 He was watching my youtubes.😂

[@muskokamike127]

To lock the rear steering you could have just done what pontiac did with the fiero: lock the tire rods to the diff/mount and kept the hubs the same. that way you could adjust toe in/toe out on the rear wheels if you had an alignment issue or tracking problem.

[@mindwreckRC]

Adds a point of failure.. and hes said many times that he hates RCs that have that to lock the rears.

[@dspencer8827]

I always remember growing up and started on electric cars and had tamya's but the batterys never lasted long so went on to electric then gas engines . I cant believe how good battery rc cars have become in 20 years

[@iamapineapple5724]

I know rc stuff can get expensive but i never would have guessed that the gas one would be $4,000... Thats just insane to me

[@leemollison7508]

Hey Kev, with the rear steer set up on the Raminator, does it have any rear toe-in or can it be given any? Just a lot of trucks I've seen running rear steer tend to run parallel/0 degree rear wheels, which does not help at all with directional stability. If you do end up going back to rear steer it might be worth looking at setting it to 3-4 degrees of toe in. (If it can be done, or isn't already)...

[@KevinTalbotTV]

[@hardywoodaway9912]

to get the worst out of both concepts? as in 1:1 it’s awful. go electric or go petrol

[@emersonb5764]

Extra complexity, heavy, and then you’re dealing with the hazards and downfalls of both lithium batteries and combustible fuel, the limited cycle life of the batteries, and the maintenance of internal combustion… all the downsides of both options but no performance gain beyond what either is capable of.

[@d3str0i3r]

honestly, which i'd do depends what i'm doing with the car, if i'm building a car that i want doing tricks and jumps i'm probably going electric, for crawling and racing i'm probably going with combustion and i'm probably using as many metal parts as possible, including a metal shell

[@laizalott]

RC Bros: "Petrol/Gas sounds so much better than electric!" Petrol RC Cars: literally sound like a cross between an electric razor and a cheap motorcycle horn.

[@MrGoat73]

The Gravedigger has possibly the most annoying noise of any vehicle made by human hands. They are both completely superb though. No model engine sound can do justice to a scale monster truck!

I’m with you, I’ve had gas cars in my younger years and they are tons of fun! There’s nothing quite like having a two stroke rc! But….. I think you can get way better performance overall with electric. I think we will be seeing electric drag cars topping the charts in the near future.

[@Prohitter25]

Those raminators look super fun!

[@Liveforwhatyougive]

Thats pretty much a toss up in my opinion. Thats insane the top end the Taylor engine pulls when it gets up to speed. Plus the realism and noise of petrol is obnoxious. I think it suits the Gravedigger well especially if you love to tune an engine. Something about it is satisfying 😌 Man Kev, that off camber jump in the skatepark and torque twisting it back to land on all fours got me pumped. But the low speed torque of the brushless is unbeatable🤔 Plus the plug and play ease of use and flexibility of running different batteries is pretty sweet too. Man, id have to get both lol!
