I live in nc north America and we are going threw a huricane and have no power so i cant charger my phone but im using my 6% to watch your videođ
Ja cub B right lmao
California here. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Hardcore
I guess calling for help, is out of the question? Stay safe!
charge it up in your car if possible? its probably not even safe to go outside tho is it..
By far my favourite quote âthese things are made out of Monkey Metalâ lol đ
he's not kidding. my spur gear lasted 5 minutes.
Monkey's staff is virtually indestructible. lol
More like chinise fake metal made from pure imagination
100th like
I know right they break
âPOWDERED MONKEY METALâ (never heard that description about sintered metal before) LOL, gotta love the English.
It's a first for me too!

Powdered Monkey Metal lol
My favorite Rc channel by far Kev, thanks for the amazing content. You channel inspired me too start my own Rc channel and start my own build along with finishing a build I gave up on after a year! Best channel!
Kev! When you fill traxxas shocks, take the spring off and fill. After it's damn close to full, push the shock all the way compressed before you screw on the cap.
for the trx4 shock issues you talked about just loosen up the screws on the top and bottom. my acx10 shock lock up when they are too tight. also make sure the shock isnt touching anything
You need rpm true tracks for the Revo rear end . It gets rid of the stupid links and locks the rear wheels in to a set position
Great content kev.
Slash 4x4 you got to love it !
Just keep a good supply of drive shaft parts in your bash box .nuff said đđ€
Thanks for the informative vid....I'm thinking about buying the Slash and I'm happy you showed it's weaknesses...very helpful
Hello Kevin Talbot. Just an update to this video. I bought 2 Xmaxxs back in March 2018. The one I drove the other I had as a spare. I just started driving the spare an maybe ran about 5 times an the 8s Esc went up in smoke. gona put the other esc in it, but im sure I will go with a hobby wing max 6. Thanks for all your videos! Very good to follow an help fix rcs! Merry Christmas!
Always excited when I get a notification that you posted a video keep up the good work
kyle markham same here bro
Great topic ! .........most wont go there for fear of being ostracized.
We all know about weak links in our RC's , this helps when purchasing , maybe just buy the upgrades as well to avoid headaches.
I love Traxxas trucks but the one thing I hate about them is that they have a lot of plastic junk on them stock for how much you're paying. I would rather buy a cheap car and upgrade it.
Traxxas makes a lot of money off the word "Upgrade!"
Traxxas plastic! Every time I hear Traxxas that's all I can think about is plastic ha
I hate the fact that they use eleventy billion different sized screws for everything.
Sometimes plastic/composite is better
The trx-4 is the newest Traxxas I own, and it doesn't have the plastic issue, but I know what you mean about the older ones. That said, all the stampede 4x4 makes clever use of double shear mounting in many places and that makes the plastic hold up fairly well on it.
Hey kev! Love your videos!
I had the same issue with diffs in the savage, I found it was the plastic diff cases tweaking so the bevel and pinion were losin a good mesh and bam uâd shred a diff.. I ended up buying a fastlane aluminium diff cases and have never had a issue since.
Very useful guide Kev. Thank you. I think I'm going for the E Revo next after I've saved enough for the Losi DBXL 2.0 E.
I'd say that was a pretty fair review of the many r/c cars you have mate.. my first ever r/c car I had was a pb maxima which was a belt driven four wheel drive.. the weaknesses were stock drive shafts were forever popping apart and the drive belt kept slipping off but otherwise, a great first timer that almost got me first place in my first race.
Thanks for the insight. Good content. Enjoyed this one at least as much as I enjoy the bash vids. I like em all, actually. And I never mind the ebay pitch at all. Keep up the great work.
Hey Kevin, hows the rear diff on the udr after a year of putting silicone at joints during reassembly? Thanks for doing what you do!
I love your style. I smile the whole time I watch.
Whatâs up with your name the green thing
Bailey Stokes signifies that Iâm one of the paying subscribers I think
CCxRC oh thatâs cool well thanks for replying even though Iâm a year late
Me too
@@BaileyStokes- Kev keeps you interested
For your shocks on your TRX-4, Traxxas put a video for the long arm lift kit and said when filling the shocks, fully compress the piston and when full pump a few times and then repeat if needed
thanks for the vid. every car needs a weakest link. if you make something stronger more energy is send to other components down the line. so an easy to replace weak spot is something i don't mind
My savage was a ton of fun. Kevin you are not the only one that had it chewing up diffs. I used to keep a couple ready to go in my tool box.
few years back my dad and I took a newer Traxxas slash 4wd brush less and a brushed 2 wheel drive slash, which was an older model. Both preformed amazingly and just recently, I've out in a brushless system into the two wheel drive, but the set screw for the pinion gear doesn't stay in. Personally I've had an E-Revo VXL, aka mini e-revo, and have really enjoyed my time with it. I had to upgrade the servo to a titanium geared Savox servo, which despite the abuse it's been through, has showed no signs of trouble in the 4 years I've had it. I replaced the knuckles with aluminum, nut's included, since the stock were worn out and popping apart every time it hit a bump. Soon I will be replacing the A-arms with full metal since some of them have been sheared. The rear diff. isn't fully sealed, resulting in a cleaning needed about every 8 or 9 runs. I do have to reprogram the electronics again, since after using them on a custom built 10th scale Nitro Sport. Recently I also finally broke my chassis, some I'm looking into either replacing it with another stock and adding a bulldog chassis protector or a full metal chassis. In all, these are all wonderful vehicles that I wouldn't trade in nor replace. I am happy with them, but like any big brand or company, there are some pretty irritating flaws, such as poor quality servo's, week tires(depending on the model), and exposed parts(such as the seem in the 1/16th e-revo diff) but they're an amazing brand and I am satisfied with my cars.
I love my slash 2wdâșïž I got it and instantly put a smaller pinion and bigger tires (2.8â) and thatâs it. It hasnât broken yet (I did strip a spur gear but it was my fault) so itâs perfect for me!
Thats awesome to hear about the Slash 4x4 being so durable. I recently got one and made HUGE snow jumps in my back yard... I was scared to hit them in -35 C (Canadian winter) but slowly worked my way up and the thing just TAKES A BEATING over and over again. I guess I have to build even bigger jumps now. Love the vids, very entertaining and inspiring :)
I got the same weather up here too. Just got my slash 4x4 and itâs doing great
What do you brand of servo do you replace the servo's with on the e-revo?
I've still got an old hyper 7 pro and it's just indestructible it's taken the biggest hits and the only thing that ever stopped it is a front drive shaft popping out of the cup but never actually broken anything also done a brushless conversion love it
Thanks to a generator, I can watch CZcams during hurricane Florence in NC! Nice vid kev.
can you do a review of the sabertooth 1/8 scale rc im thinking on getting one and i need you to see if it is any good Thanks
I have uh ARRMA 4Ă4 SENTON MEGA and my 2 front tires wobble i looked at tha tires and they are good and the tire nut thread are also good any ideas of whats causing the wobble?
Any issues with the spur and pinion gears on the slash? Or center diff if you have installed one?
I have a slightly older slash and after I stripped the spur gear once I put a center diff in it to do on road drifts and stuff and the bearing always goes bad extremely quickly and then the diff breaks in half then the spur gear gets eaten up, but most recently the spur gear just ate itself without the center diff breaking. Stock they are plastic and im worried that if i go metal there will be problems in places its not as easy to fix.
Thanks, definitly tells me what i should or shouldnt buy
Hey Kev! Nice video as always. Are Integy parts reliable? I have a on road rc but I noticed you use Integy a lot. Is it good?
You can tell how much Kev loves the hobby - every car, even with complaints, is "one of his favorite" this hobby/sport is buy - bash - break - wrench - bash - repeat and he loves it all! No point venturing into a hobby that doesn't constantly put a smile on your face!
Do you know can you put brushless motor in latrax desert prerunner 2017 model
well the early savage 21 was the best gears etc , have 4 and have never replaced diffs mostly arms... they got cheaper every yr so i keep my old ones going but parts can be a issue
Please review the helion avenge 10 mt xlr so I know how far to push mine
I love your content Kevin, I probably watch your channel more than any other, I'll be buying my first EREVO very soon and so I've really appreciated your opinions on it. thank you for all of your hard work
hows ur luck with the e revo diff I keep strpping them
Hey man it good to hear the bad parts if your buying one
the WL toys buggy is amazing for cheap basher but i think the steering is impossible to trim right.. another thing is the spur gear getting stripped a bit too easy as well, but for the cost of one of these, its an amazing fun toy
For the slash body look into the proline proflow body helps with the parachute affect
I want a 4 wheel drive Slash nowđđŒđđŒ. Great Video
Adding the RPM true track kit will fix the turnbuckle issue on your Revo. It completely eliminates the rear turnbuckle. it also keeps the suspension straight. instead of flexing in and out as the suspension travels up and down.
I have a traxxas slash 4x4 and i have replace the driveshaft 2 times so i got metal driveshafts and still has not broken in 3 months
On my slash I broke my hub carriers in the first week replaced with Ali and never had them break last part I broke was my front bulk head. Ran into a pole at about 5-7 mph not much faster then a slow jog and it broke the plastic off
Hi Kev. Iâve recently got back into vintage Tamiya rereleases. I know you had a manta ray. Will you ever get an Avante or egress or anything?.
Hi Kev. I'm thinking of buying a Traxxas 1/16 erevo for me and my son. Would you recommend.
You can fix the issue with the rodends on your Erevo if you glue it. Nice video kev âŒïž
Don't beat around the bush say what you really feel! :-)
I just got the bronco, it is awesome! The only thing I don't like is. The brushed motor, even in just water it tends to lock up.
I agree with you about the brand new TRX 4 Sport and the shocks it's exactly what you said you fill them up then you try to drain a little bit out then you're too low and you got air I tried it over and over and over and after about four hours I got one to work out of four
Did you solve the servo problem you had with the Erevo 2.0 where they would quit out
What do u think of the proline pro Mt do u know anything about them
Could you do a video on all of the upgrades that you did to your xmaxx
Love all your vids bro
What type of esc do you run on you're erevo 2.0
I upgraded the rear a arms to the RPM true track arms. No toe links.. Best upgrade i have done besides tires. Pro-Line Trenchers
whenever i go to the hobby shop i always look at the udr. they have the orange one there. i think they also have a xmaxx on display
What servos did you put in the e-revo?
Sounds like my e maxx ,always blowing diff bearings & chewing up diffs,got ceramic bearings now pretty much fixed itđđ»
I just got a arrma Talian 6S 2018 what do you think of it?
The spur gears and pinions always break. My brother ftx carnage as had 3 spur gears now he keeps rounding them off rip
I've never heard so many complaints about a savage lol they were the toughest trucks known to man for alot of years.
Kevin man itâs been a while I wanna tell you again bro thanks for the videos and thanks for opening my eyes more Real good knowledge and I trust you! I own 2 xmaxx 8s blue and green love them
I know this is an old vid but on your Savage try putting some Losi Muggy shocks on there, best upgrade i ever did to mine.
I was really surprised when you got the HPI Wheely King out. Because I have owned mine for like a year and no problems so far. But I will definitely watch for these weak spots. Because I am not easy with my Willie King it goes in the woods the Creek everywhere no problem but thanks for the tip
Kevin you missed the tires on the X Maxx ! They are glue and should be bead lock like the Pro line upgrade ! I bought mine same time as I bought my X Maxx and never even got the stock tires dirty
Great video,very helpful and to the point âïž
where do you get your alin key srew drivers
When you get the Rustler 4X4 VXL can you do a head to head with the rustler 2wd?
Well yes, but the 2wd will get smoked
Great videosđ Keep them coming
I have a rustler VXL and I've noticed with a lot of traxxas is that they break easily. Now I can't compare with arrma until I get one in a couple months but from what I've heard they are more durable
great video the trx4 shocks your filling them wrong so thats why they are either gettting air locked or over filled if no compression.. there is a good video on re working those shocks. I look for it to share. I run king shocks on my hogs 8-)
Great video. Instead of going with the X0-1 diffs, which aren't any better than the Traxxas cvds u got, give the tekno m6 axels a try. I had bad luck with MIP xduities as well and absolutely love my teknos. Handle my mm2/2200kv monster slash without issue
Can you modify and XMaxx with 4 wheel steering?
What lipos do u use in your e revo 2.0
i have a slash 4x4 and the shock caps always pop off and the control arms are useless but they are the only bad points i have found on mine
What made you take the badlands off the rustler?
Cool video. Are you going to get a rustler 4x4?
A question:
Two 20 kg-cm digital servo can work well on a e-revo 2.0
left tire should be controlled by left servo and right tire by right servo ... when you link them ... it becomes kinda dumb ... instead of creating one stronger faster servo , they thought linking two fast servos together would give them the power they need, which is true , but like kev said they fight against each other . so yea ..( people put custom double servos on cars since for ever , traxxas copied but not well)
You inspire me brother.. Just wish I was more computer savvy. I'm 41 and never owned a computer đ.. X-Navy. Went in at 17 years old. Traveled none stop EVER since. Fell inlove with RC about 5 or 6 years ago. I'm obsessed. Lol it's my PTSD therapy man. Love it. Alll of iiit... I have the same UDR as youđđ. Love that rig.. My 1.0 SBR is a beast but UDR and typhon hmmm ridiculous... Want to make the Typhon into a rally.
A good selection of useful information!
i still remember mine was a tamyia mad bull its not grate but takes a beating and and the internales can take a lot of power i think at the moment its got a 5000mha 7.4v lipo with a brushless combo not sure witch but with the all metal gear servo its a good laugh and with some good mods on shock and stearing i love it its fun mad and crazly over powerd but it takes it and make me smile every time and its what got me hooked i think we all have had a tamiya at some point that are so well price and good for a beging level
Man I love my hpi I had the first one and the second plus a complete aftermarket built Tmaxx. I have been looking for a mammoth I can't remember who made it but I had one and loved it and it was huge it took a beaten right next to my hpi
Try adding a few ounces or grams of weight in the front of the Rustler, like you did with your burnout car. Half of the handling problems stem from it being back heavy.
I accually broke the rear diff in half on my trx 4 but that was cause it fell sideways off a cliff and landed right on the bottom face of my aluminum wheels and snapped it.. other then that just the micro servos and ALOT of bearings
What is the brand and model of the brushless truggy. I can't understand. Thanks
RudĂĄ Bittencourt it called the team c t8t truggy
The Traxxas Slash two-wheel drive is what I have and I've only broken one suspension or I'm on it and it was because it fell off the back of a truck bed and landed on its side
Also just saying a motor upgrade and the stock slash two-wheel drive is a really good idea because I have broken one of the bearings in my motor
i loved this video!it feels good to be negative sometimes,that way when you feel positive again,it feels that much better!-lol!đ
wow you have almost 150k subs? good job, i was subbed since like 30k
Can we get 5000 subscribers with no videos? You again I see you every where!
Same
How come every video I watch I see your channel
@@shancyroesner9212 same
u got 64k subs lol without videos wow
I did the two wheel thing with the revo 2.0 and it tore the tire aswell
Yes genius mayTee!!
Love the vids big baller đ€
Living your best life đȘđ»
I had to buy one of those little A959's and turn it into a speed machine. It's a bit of a challenge to get them to go fast and straight. Lol
@kevintalbot
for the hpi nitro use thread locker on the gear box screws so the donât strip
For the white truggy you should do a video where you replace the rear shocks and use heavier oil in them
the first tracas x max in the video can you drive it across water I wonder ???
Kevin did you build the monster truck roll cage ??
Please do a review on the nexx nitro 1:16 scale off-road
Racing is REALLY fun too I do it more because I am SO lucky to have a carpet track near me and I do not have a good place to run off-road rc cars at
