BOOM
BOOM!
Boom boom boom
Great to see great giveaways like this. Growing the hobby, spreading the joy. Keep up the good work 👍
Love your videos, your the reason I got into RC cars and truck. Don't have anything over $100 but one day I will. Keep up the great videos
It's such a good point you make about stock RCs. Most are great for normal use. The more you expect out of them and the rougher you treat them, the more you will have to upgrade to stronger parts. My experience, pick one car as your basher and make it a tank. Keep all the rest stock and enjoy them as they were intended. Not everything can survive a skate park!
I have a 6s mojave and I beat the crap out of it and it's still going. I've run the tires bald and I don't have a single upgrade. I don't have an xmaxx to compare it to, but I can say arrma makes a mean mojave.
Stock is the way to go imo. I like to give those RC engineers the benefit of the doubt.
I completely agree with you dangeresque14.
I have one that's built like a tank and my others are stock.
Had a kraton v2 and went down that rabbit hole.. and learned.
Stock rc's be just fine.. 👍
Except certain rcs require more upgrades than others.
Yes forward reverse on a plain road , soon starts to jump soon starts to order parts , some even on first small jump
That was such a nasty landing for that arrma. Both trucks did much better than I would have thought they would.
😂
i gave up on arrma coz it destroyed a diff everytime i landed even on grass
Don’t land on throttle lol. Arrma diffs hold up much better than traxxas’ powdered metal. If you’re wrecking Arrma difs, you would destroy traxxas ones
sitting here enjoying this video, when i realized all the editing and cinematography is done so damn well. amazing kev!
Always insane fun and good times!!! thanks for posting, and all you do for the community!
Love you kev. Haven’t been in the best place lately. Glad you still pouring love into the internet. My fav is the notorious outcast because of the body paint and old school truck look. So cool. You have made the rc community grow with love dude. Thanks man for being you kev.
EXB OUTCAST is a beast. Only upgrades i've done and needed in 2 years:
-m2c driveshafts
-radical rc bash bar
- kev t bulk head fix longer screws
- internal alloy diff case front & rear, plastic cracks after few runs destroying gears
- soak all plastic in wd40 and leave to absorb after a few days
-add 1 silicone ear plug to centre diff for standing back flips
Love my xmaxx but with the above upgrades my outcast has been my most reliable rig. The wd40 amd bash bar really helps with the bad landings. Ive bent m2c shafts and just bent them back and all good
Optional change esc. I run xlx2 doesnt even get warm or mamba monster x 8s or HW max 5 is just as good. Mine does 65+mph on grass with the same motor 5687 1100kv.
Just got me a used kraton 8s and i just hit a trashcan at the park, broke the control arm off at the hinge pins and it made me remember what you said about m2c and their parts. Already ordered driveshafts and i went back to this video to find out the rest of the upgrades i should get 😅 thanks for posting and love all your vids from both channels!
Awesome job on the new outcast bro. Iam over here in the u.s. and I got one about 2 months ago and she has been a beast. I did do some modifications to it but Iam amazed that it did 58 on the stock setup. I ended up dropping an 840 kv hobbystar and max 5 with 34/34 and she's a monster. Great video again bro CHEERS!
Very recently got back into the RC Hobby after about a 1 year break and selling all my RCs I ended up getting myself a 1/16 E-revo to start back up I can't wait to start upgrading it!
I took out a loan for one ( outcast EXB ) about a month ago. I'm still fairly new to the hobby , almost 2 years ,, too expensive to launch , should be more than tough enough for my highest jumps. I tried to get into the drawing for the fully upgraded one to no avail. Totally amazing
2 years new I have been on it 10 months and I own 28 cars with an xmaxx and an xrt lmao.
brother... should you really being getting loaned money for this hobby?
Bro if you have to get a loan I don't think you should buy it get something cheaper you can afford it's crazy to get a loan for a RC.
Just getting into RC cars at 53 years old. You have some amazing videos. Keep up man. Your my first RC sub.. Really thinking of going Drift RC route, but this truck looks fun.
Watching you upgrade this from a beast of a machine to just a veritable behemoth is very inspirational :)
Thank you Kevin Talbot because of your channel and the way you present your content iv descoverd a new hobby other than dj'ing....
As a newbie iv settled 9n the Mt 10 brushless cheers Kevin u legend
Your videos are a joy to watch. You have lots of positive energy, which transfers to the viewers.
Thank you for specifying what length bolts you used on the bulkhead! I think I had asked in one of your livestreams what length they were. Going to do this mod to mine soon, I’ve stripped out those bolts before!
i remembered people asking :) but you can always measure it yourself by shoving a wrench down the hole and getting something a couple mm shorter of drilling the hole deeper
I love that tune at 10mins in. Reminds me of your old videos. Good times!
The energy you bring to your videos is wonderful. You’re a pleasure to watch kev, and I hope you can keep it up
Glad you enjoy it!
You commented before watching the vid
@@AJBrickhead I’m pretty sure Kevin has the same level of energy in all of his videos, Karen.
@@AJFAMMAN what do you mean
The upgrades and building is half of the hobby. I have a 400$ truck with over 1000$ of upgrades and parts. I deff build it more than I drive it.
This is absolute madness to me 😮😮😮
I just recently got my first lil rc truck a Traxxas trx4m crawler and I'm so careful with it and these chaps are full sending these things to the moon 😂😂😎
Love the “Boom” part when installing new parts!
Wow😮 that's one beast!! Thanks for the content! Much love from Utah✌🏻
Kevin, your show is kept me Young !!! I Love it Thank you for the knowledge and making me laugh!!!! Wild to see your RC bashing nr racing Thanks Again!!!!!
*Shows MT10* some need more upgrades than others for extreme bashing 🤣🤘
Mt10 is such fun basher truck😊🤘.
It's a little beast. I do wish it was 4s Arrma size or that the MT8 was as good.
@@boduke9428You can swap chassis with the associated Pro sc10 4x4 which is a longer and a straight bolt on. It might give you the size you're looking for.
@@tspbod260 I didn't know that. Thanks.
That is a perfectly well modded and upgraded outcast, all the right stuff on that truck!!!!! love Kevs noises on bad crashes....Lol!!!!!
Thanks for making these videos. I’ve been watching you for years on my main account. You have the best and most fun RC content out there. !
i have been taught so much through this channel :) thanks and BOOOOOOM!
Your probably tired of hearing this but, keep the good work ! Always a good day when you upload, cheers from America!
Glad you enjoy it!
Its incredible how far these trucks have come from my v1 kraton. It was the best rc ever. Now it s a dinosaur 🦕
I literally just bought a v1 K8S new!! $750 to my doorstep. HaHa! It came through with EXB front shocks, v1 RTR rears!!🤔 Oh well, guess what? The front EXB shocks were leaking IN the box!! Just like my Xmaxx was leaking IN the box when I bought it new 2 years ago? 🤣 Just gonna send-it!! But not very high!!😛
I had a savage flux about 12 years ago. I put that thing through hell! The only thing I replaced was a few diffs and a shock top. I back flipped it and crashed it all the time. This bloke is next level with his bashing. I have never seen such disregard for mechanical sympathy! I love it! If I had the money I would certainly perform all the upgrades too. I have an arrma mojave now. I flog the crap out of it and it is bog stock still. Only thing I've done is put a new wheel nut on it. Maybe I am not bashing hard enough? I want an XMAXX but I can't afford it. They are near A$2000!!
Anything that can broken to the max then look like that once it's gone back to the workshop is definitely worth a buy !!! Had to enter this one 🎉❤
Love how u bash it to the max see true potential
This man keeps my passion alive fr
You are totally right to say upgrades are optional however for your casual hobbyist the cost of an exb models or equivalent is already a bit outlay so more interested in its stock form. Still seems traxxas have the edge on that
I love the videos there’s something about your channel that is just so good you don’t fairy dust anything you basically have a good opinion
Your videos always make my day better keep up the good work
literally this morning i was checking to see if you had a video about this
Great timing, I just finished your Todays In Talbots Shop update video! If you get a chance, I'd love to see the final weight of that Outcast compared to an X-Maxx...
Awesome tip on the M5 X 25! Great install, description, and BASH for sure!!! Thanks for punishing the parts, and definitely don't talk to strangers!
I’m such a perfectionist and detail oriented watching you wrench with that impact gives me anxiety. I actually envy it and wish I could relax more
Enjoying ur videos !! I myself just into rc cars!! Thanks for the videos!!
That Arrma Landin at 12.25 was really really savage.
Xmaxx had some serious hard landing and i tanked them very well.
Two wonderful cars right here.
Heck ya! She got way more lively and playful after you geared up. If it's running cool try a few more teeth 😁 but I'm not sure how much more content you are looking to make with it before it goes away so might be a non issue. Such a blast to drive, looked like you enjoyed running it 😛More Outcast content please!
Kevin I must say the vid quality and editing on this one was on point. very nice
Hey Kev, another great vid, something i noticed was that the rear suspension was way to soft, you were washing off heaps power through the suspension squat. happy bashing :).
Thanks for bringing back my memories of the Benny Hill show. I loved that shoe.
Just FYI on that Spektrum unit: it has to be directly conencted to the ESC fan port and simultaneously connected to the PC running that app. It's really clunky unless you have long wires, and you can adjust the punch with the power button anyhow.
Thanks Kevin, I love the upgrade and how to video's
Enjoy most of all your videos you show us how much an RC can take
This is one of the best Kevin talbot videos of all time
You can program the ESC directly using the buttons, no need for programming card. Its on the manual
Great stuff Kev. It seems to me that Traxxas really nailed the design of the Xmaxx durability wise. There have been a couple of versions tbf, but on the whole they are just not as likely to break as the ARRMA trucks.
Having said that, with the way I drive an ARRMA would be fine.
The xmaxx is so good because it flexes so well it bends into bad landings but these with Ali chassis have no give so all the impact isn't transferred and they break.
I have seen the xmaxx break much the same way the arrma has. When you leave the ground at such heights, all bets are off on durability.
@@tannercurtis1836 yeah that's obvious. They do break. Everything does. I was just giving reasons to why they don't break as easily.
Love your vids have been watching Them for years keep up the Good work
appreciate it bro!!
@@KevinTalbotTV no problem man 😁👍
Pretty sure the shorter screws are meant to strip before breaking ,,, good ideas for longer screws.
You can change the brake setting via the esc switch.just did it to my infraction ’it’s in the Manual it’s long winded but once it’s done it’s done..👍
Love the video! What are the tires on the xmaxx? I destroyed stock and got pro line bad lands and they overheat the truck and feel like shit in the air.
I need that car that would be nice thank you for the video
I like how he through in the "some more than others" then showed the toughest truck out of the box he has reviewed lol
Perfectly said Kev. You dont NEED to mod these things but it dont hurt and they look great. Also with your level of bashing, if $300 in upgrades can keep a $1000 rig alive then its money well spent! Same goes for real cars. My Audi makes 1000 whp and of course I had to upgrade other parts to make sure it dont explode or kill me. lol
What Traxxas as a good trial truck / basher but not heavy truck like under 20 lbs but decent out of the box
I've got a few choice upgrades on my xmaxx. Namely rpm suspension arms, captured hinge pins, and rpm hub carriers. I almost can't break it. The remaining problem is just gears strip all the time. I keep spare diff ring gears, pinions, and spur gears because they just constantly blow. But the rest of the truck is dead solid
I've never tore up my gears but I'm also at stock power levels
@@666cemetaryslut I'm stock power but with the speed gearing (18/48). Also the particular type of driving I usually do with it is high speed runs over undulating terrain. Think like a baja prerunner. So when the tires are on and off traction while I'm full throttle it stresses the gears really hard. And I'm running 30k diff fluid in the rear and 50k in the front so it doesn't just easily bleed power to whatever wheel has least traction. It sure does drive nice though and gears are cheap 😁
Brutális lett.
Imádom hogy mindig össze töröd a kocsikat😂
9:37 LOL! can't fault that logic!! Bwahahaha
I wouuld not turn down a modified Arma,but must say my Xmaxx is my baby(absutely love it!)!
I am a fan of your channel ,and have been for years- keep 8t up bro,because I love all R/C
Ever since Man went from one hp to two ph, reliability and fast goes hand in hand .
ansolutely love your videos man
The outcast is just amazing with the upgrades I would love to have one
Oh yeah!
Wonderful
I’m shook!
nice!
thank you
I love my outcast exb. I don't beat it like this guy but I do drive the living shit out of it and it handles everything just well. I've only replaced the front bumper and tail mount. Thing is a beast
sick vid kev maybe a V3 outcast soon 😋 but that side landing was nasty the company show down begins 😁
Kev do you let the lockite always first dry up before you go outside, especially when putting the pinion gear on with a grub screw?
From my experience when i use the locktite and after an hour ill go outside the pinion gear comes off. How do you do it?
Ace video as always, and where is that skate park ?
Beautiful truck I love it
Crazy you snapped some M2C parts!
Kevin you make my day evryday by making rc car videos 😊
Nice video man! I know a lot of people are talking about the new team corally kagama.
I got 53 with stock gears and the Gens ace 8000 100c. The Outcast is already insanely heavy I cant picture with all the upgrades. Dont know how the front bumper mount hasnt broke mine did first time out
Can you review the Costco raw power drifter plus
Should use the bottom of a vernier calliper to measure the depth of the screw holes
You rock buddy!
Loving your videos again now we are seeing less of max, keep up the amazing content 👍👍
Kevin your videos are awesome us from the rc community are so lucky to have an amazing CZcamsr like you thanks for bringing the best rc content !
Something tells me what Kev's mom would say if we asked her how he treated his toys as a child LOL.
To be fair that Outcast landing was on the side and all the force went to the two a arms whereas the xmaxx landing was a nose dive and all the force went to the front bumper and transferred through the chassis. Two different hits and have to take these tests with a grain of salt. Entertaining nonetheless!
Nailed it. You can't compare a square nose landing with an awkward one wheel spike. Been there, done that.
Great video. Nice to see testing out till they break again.😂😂
just curious im trying to upgrade my 1/18 desert prerunner and i want to know what shells can fit on it
The debate will never be settled. I have both, they're both amazing. But if I'm going to brutally abuse such an expensive toy it's going to be the X-maxx. It's simply cheaper to repair.
Kevin could you maybe review the laegendary thunder because i am getting it and was wondering if u could review it?
Great Video kev keep up the great content
You make great videos. Keep it up
Always a great time watching your videos. Between your humor and ability to really push these cars to the limit is just awesome. I don’t get enough time to ride lately but my 2 longest have been getting me back into it. Ps your videos are what made me get the Xmaxx, always a fun time.
I was hoping to see a review of the MT12 Surface Radio by Radio Master! Did they not send you one? Love your videos. Hope to see a review on the MT12 even if it's later on.
Keep it up you have inspired me
Love the outcast and I own a Kraton is EXB. But even with all the upgrades it still can't outlast an XMaxx lol. Lesson learned if you wanna buy a tough outcast get an XMaxx instead lol.
Love the content. Just entered to hopefully win this amazing build.
If a rc car can survive kev for a whole video that’s how you know that’s a good car
What's the go with getting stiffer shocks for hard landings and bashing? Why aren't they being used?
are u gonna put the vitavon chassi on the beefcake Xmaxx any time soon?
Yeah owned both before I’d definitely stick with the outcast 8s exb big time!
Love your vids Kevin, inspired me and my gf to start our own rc channel. Just shorts at the moment but we are just starting. Go rc cars!
