Iâm a huge fan of these budget little cars, and just racing them without a worry in the world. I think they are more fun than competitive cars because you can race around and do stupid things without costing thousands. We need more of these unique races Kev!!
drag cars cost thousands. a b6.4 u can build for right at or under a thousand. you pay for the quality, handling, and durability.
I find these cheap cars more fun for racing, it keeps it a level playing field and you don't need to spend hours maintaining every race
@@kevintalbotrc I 1000% agree, and the challenge of it is fun too.
@@kevintalbotrc Hey kev, are you able to give me a link to the car? I kinda wanna get a companion for my Tamiya M05
â@@kevintalbotrc hey kev I have a 1/8 scale DHK maximus and would love to know if you know what tyres I can put on it for drifting or road slicks ? I don't know too much about what tyres will fit if anyone could help It would be much appreciated đ
I used to race the Mardave versions of these (well the V12 hotrods) 20 years ago. A trick we used to use to stop grip roll was to put some thick CA glue on the outside edge of the front tyres. It would reduce front end grip a bit, but if the car went to roll, the slippery and stiff side walls would not dig in a cause a roll. Other thing we used to do to reduce the stright line twitchyness was to put the front tyres on a tyre lathe and create a slight conical shape (smaller outside diameter, and larger on the inner edge). That would effectively provide camber to the front wheels (not adjustable on these) and make them a bit more predictable in a straight line, but still plenty of grip for corners). We would also stack a few washers under the front wishbone mount to induce some caster too. Used to love racing them - cheap but fun racing (although at the top end of competition back in the NiMH days, we used to do all sorts of games with our cells to try and eek out just that bit more power from them).
That looks like a lot of fun for not a lot of pennies or dollars.
Kevin Must read this. I just learned something new with the Losi Promoto MX. If you tilt the receiver forward a little bit on the mount just twist it so the left top corner is facing forward. basically leaning at a forward angle the throttle will not cut when hitting the big jumps at the skate park. You lean it forward enough just to trick it into thinking it's still not past its wheelie tipping point. It works like a charm. We learned this while we were racing them and jumping them at the amain hobby race track. You put it on offroad mode it works best.
224 mph in a RC blows my mind †it would be cool to see a fpv camera on that run.
It's so low to the ground it would look like warp speed in the movie Spaceballs. lol
Kev is king of camera angles. He'll figure something out
Those little racers ... they're like the best chassis we had in the 70's and early 80's. :)

Love you kev I love the reviewing cars do more of those videos please like reviewing the new arema Keaton that video was great
â€
When are you going to raffle of the fast boats please
Nice one fella there really fun to drive just starting to get to grips with mine
Kev, your socials are missing the words "THE GOAT" in them.
Hey buddy, I just found your video and it brought back many many great memories of when I would go racing every weekend. I have raced in just about every class ever starting in the early 80's. I have since become disabled and divorced, I had to sell off everything rc related. I just bought a few tickets to a few of your raffles. It would be nice to have something to play around with or put up for one of my grandchildren. Anyway, glad I found you, look forward to your next video.đđđ
Closest the US got for cheap equal and level playing field was the bolink legend (oval and dirt oval) in mid 90s. Great times. -U10
I loved the Legend cars and all the Bolink products.
We run the RJ. Speed Legends on the local carpet oval.
I loved my Bolink Eliminator. Other than the rear shock plate the cracked if it took any sort of hit it was a beast of a car.
I love these types of classes so much! This is where the real fun is!
One of the best and biggest classes at my local dirt oval is the Stock 2WD Slash class. Super affordable and can be easily converted to a couple of other classes if you want to advance.
I run street stock with a Bandit I built mostly from parts and a motor that was given to me. I've even designed and printed my own body mount system. That said, I am still in it for a couple hundred by the time I got a body and some of the other parts. Thankfully, after all of the work it's actually very competitive.
the cars look so cool even after 1 race, the scratches and stuff
I've had Mardave Mini's for 40 years. When I was last racing, I got my club to start racing Mardave Mini's and it lasted one season before Schumacher brought out their Mardave equivalent, and everybody moved over to that straight away! I was told it was all good as the Schumacher would be no better, but half way through the new season with the Schumacher's racing along side the Mardave's, it was clear I needed to spend more money and go Schumacher. BANG went the budget class and cheap racing fun! Why people can't just be happy with one cheap class that the Mardave offered is beyond me. We went from expensive 2WD to Mini's and back to expensive Schumacher's again! Nothing gained but cost!
these minis are way more fun anyway!
My cousins got 4 of these he loves them so much. I had a go with one a few weeks ago, definitely a lot of fun for the money and easier to set up than a gt12 car.
It's "Kevin the GOAT Talbot" with another banger! That is why I love the new RTR Team Associated Apex Datsun carpet class races we have been having. 300 dollars plus good carpet track tires and a spare painted body and you are racing. The 3rd time having the class we had a turnout of 63 people registered to race. It was an epic weekend. So many first-timers went and bought them and had a blast. Plus the 1970s Datsun 620 body looks so cool. The only other cost was buying a spare body that you have to paint with 2 or more colors and add an orange number plate per the rules, or you can add a secondary color on the stock body with a sticker wrap and an orange number plate on the bed which we provided at the track. The next race is in mid-June. I can't wait.
They made a datsun 620 body now ?
â@@gbresalekingyes and it's awesome.
I'm liking those little cars more and more! Them being so cheap and so simple makes them much more appealing!
Kevin, glad to see you posted. Great video as always!!!
9:17 tamiya used those tie rods and after 3 or 4 adjustments the cups were so wallored out they'd no longer stay on. Dumbest idea in the history of R/C. Those kamtec ones looked beefier but still horrible to work with. After I spoke to a guy at a hobby shop after buying my 10th pack of plastic tamiya ones, 44 yrs ago, he told me about team associated metal ones. Cost? $4 for the pair. Still on my rough rider 44 yrs later lol.
These are brilliant! There is a place a short walk that may allow some one to hire it for racing. Might be worth it, this looks great! Thanks for sharing.
Raced these back in the late 80s here in Lancing when Mardave made them! Then early 90s in Bognor. Keith from Kamtec has brought them in to the modern times!!!
Great fun
Yes! I recently retired from 1/8 off-road. I thought bashing was expensive đ . Between tires and entry fees it was over $300 a weekend and that's after buying the carsđđđ
This reminds me of the Bolink Legends rc cars. Loved racing those things!
That looks like loads of awesome fun for not a lot of dollars. Keen to see if they have a class like that here in Aus!!
They look awesome too!!
I like something simple to go race without having to have years of experience and thousands of dollars (Pounds) thanks for showing the options. I built a 1/10 scale crawler and I quite counting at 2500 dollars it can get real pricey quick.
0:38 'MURICA!
Fuck Yea!
Super cool looking and fast budget racers. Crazy handling and speed! Great job!!! đđđKevin = Expert driver đđ
Just like the real MINI...real simple, real fun!
That was a pleasure to watch thanks Kev amazing video as always buddy â€
Yes! Letâs go 225 MPH!
Great video as always đ
On the speed car- I remember you were having problems with the tires. Wondering what you could find and test for a magnesium or aluminum bead lock wheel and using steel belted radials (if thatâs even a possibility) the wheels Iâm assuming you can find or have a sponsor make some but the belted radials in a rc size is what Iâm not 100% on. Another thing as well, since you were shaving the wheels down what about finding a set with less offset and bigger spokes to try and give it more rigidity and possibly solve the problem of the wheels exploding.
Aye mate dope! I really wish I had more Rc clubs around me!!
Or any. :/
@@MegaSockenschuss Aye breh, I might be lazy about looking but they seem hard to find.
Wow, great vid :)
That moment at 7:41 was a little bit scary with headphones at night ngl xDD
I used to run Mardaves back in the day on a 4S NiMH battery pack, I nobody was allowed to modify them, they were bone stock and we had a blast.
Me n my Mate have Been doing it for a bit Now it's really good type of cheap it Racing for sure n my Lad luv's it lol :)
What a great way of racing, that was great. The hsp here in Australia is one of the cheapest cars for around $220aud and i have a 1/10 nitro and 1/10 brushless monster trucks and they are cheap but so much fun so i really enjoyed this episode thanks kev! I might invest in one of the Mini's đ
I am definitely going to make one of these my next RC purchase. Reminds me of the Mardave Mini.
Minis are just like Miataâs. You want to hate them with every bit of your soul and then you drive one and they make you smile.
You're a true gentleman letting Rachel do all of the pedaling
I standby my Baja... Atleast I can get parts for that lol... Elcon would be sick .... But I'm all for this cage free marshalling đ
I'm definitely watching Kamtec. Bangers look like a giggle, and then these... I'd like to see these little guys take off for spec oval racing. Racing gets so expensive so quickly
Hey Kev. I went to a Monster Jam truck show yesterday in Philadelphia. Canât wait to see yours on the dirt with the big boys. đ
i might actually just build your setup u got here cause these little cars seem fun
For the ESC at the end if you replace those capacitors, it will run better. I donât know why they use those ones is there going to fail. Fairly easy to do as well as thereâs only two pins holding each capacitor on. Give that a try to see if itâs more reliable. You can also increase the uf value to slightly higher. ;)
Since your banger car video, I got one for m daughter and she absolutely loves it and the people you meet along the way are great
Looks like good fun wish there was a club to race at near me with these cars
reminds me of the old bolink/rjspeed legends cars they were so much fun
That little wheel stand from the mini was impressive I'll give it that I like it haha
Always found the Mardave stock racing back in the day was some of the funniest and most entertaining. Oh and dirt cheap
I remember my first Rc mini it was a mardave from the 80âs. Great vids Kev
I have a mini from aliexpress and i love it it is hard to control even on the tarmac awe to
That older guys crx body is so rad!!! The red and yellow one honda fan here!
These are alot of fun. We run them on 20 turn brushed motor and 4cell NI-MH and its alot of fun.
never cease to amaze me with your videos Kev. im just getting into drifting and theres hell of a lot of willy waving with ÂŁ2000 rigs that dont even see the track wish i hadnt bothered really this seems miles better. lack of footage though lol
funny thing is, one monster truck shock is ÂŁ2000 and theres no will waving at all
Interesting little Car. I have a fewe old Electro RC Cars from the 70s, made, or at least sold by Robbe. They are 1:12 Scale i believe. They are built pretty simmilar to this Chassis.
I bought kamtec reliant 3 wheeler .so much fun
I love this dirt cheap races videos
Looks awesome!! Maby make all of them FPV and then race đ€. That would be super cool
Pause at 11:47
âit was at this moment he knew, he f#@&$d upâ đ
Bro im deadđđđđđđ
I love your videos so much please post more Ive enjoyed your videos for around 6 years
Through goes Kev
I love how kev makes bangers on every vid. Keep up the good workđ
This thing looks like the Associated RC-12 that I had back in the late 90's.
Fantastic speed!! I would never bee able to drive them.
Keep the shots of the island coming man! Such a beautiful place!
The Mini Cooper from Mr.Bean đ đ đ
Awesome vid sweet thanks to you Iâm getting back into RC cars what happened to bill and Mary I forgot there names, keep up the great work
Wish there was a race for these in Genesee County Michigan .
I Like your videos so much and it nice that youâre giving your rc cars away â€đđ
Reminds me of my first r/c mardave mini stock
OMG These look so much fun đ. I think I'm gonna have to get one.
Hi, I'm from Hertfordshire. I love watching your video đđ
Great video Kev, always entertaining and youâre an awesome ambassador for rc.
Will you be covering the TT this year? đ
i plan to :)
@@kevintalbotrc nice one kev I can't make it.... thank you
great vid! thank you for the upload..was wondering how is your flying lessons going for you? have you got your pilot's licence yet? i bet you'll be excited once you get to fly solo for the first time. cheers! and for sure it'll save you time with your travels. see you in the next vid!
not had any lessons recently with moving but getting on it again soon. Bought a plane though, just gotta learn to fly it now, boom!
@@kevintalbotrc thank you for your reply since i know that you're a busy person. maybe in future vid show us the plane that you purchased.
yes! been filming it :) got an extra 330lx :)
Iâm buying one because itâs so cool and I am a huge mini enthusiast with a few 1/1âs đđŒ
Love the South African flag in the back ground. đ
Loving the Isle of Man crew.
Talking expenses to racing, it also depends what track youâre running at. At my track, the difference in time between a fully decked out short course truck and my barely modded Slash is less than half a second usually. Sometimes Iâm fasterđ€·ââïž If you donât want to spend crazy money, find a track that relies more on skill than your setup and fancy stuff.
If price is the name of game then I've purchased my 10 year old 4WD Stampede several times as I've replaced everything at least twice!
And it breaks all the time.
Still fun to play with though.đđ
you'll need to air-gap wire for 225 mph . Solid wire for dc untwisted braided wire for ac . No metal near
13 min crew
By the way I was here in the first 13 minutes just made this comment
Great video, loads of fun!!
Great video. Love seeing stuff like this.
Islanders just have too much fun. Looks like paradise to me, if you're into fun having.
its epic here, love it!
Yesss.....! Speedcar back!
That thing looks great Kev!! Nice racing too!
Awesome video mate and you're a great driver!
Hi Mr kev đđ
Have great fun with the car đđš boom!!!
So that's crazy all them extra parts that new lipo and the car went slower around the same track
Kev those racing videos are really cool
I race Mardave mini. Great fun and not hard on the bank balance
Kev have you heard of Flier 16s esc's? Saw one in another video on an 1/5th and it was ridiculous, wonder how one would go in one of your speedrun cars.
Check out the 1rc racing 1/18 scale circle track rtr cars. They are brushless and come with everything for about $200.
Sway bars for the max/.Do they fit the max?V?Two
Love the commentary đ
Can I get your opinion on something? I want to do a single motor setup for high speed; not speed runs of 175mph+, just durable high speed. Should I got with Castle Creations Mamba XLX 2 1/5 Sensored Brushless ESC/Motor Combo (800Kv) w/2028 Motor OR Hobbywing EZRun Max4/Max5 ESC & EZRun 70125SD (560kv) motor. The castle ESC says it's maxed rated for 8s, whereas the HW ESC is rated for 12s. In speed run videos I'm seeing mostly Castle setups, but I'm not really sure what to do. Can the castle XLX 2 +2028 (800kv) motor handle 12s? I noticed your speed sausage was Castle. What do you think about running the 2028 (800kv) Castle with the 12s capable HW Max4 or 5 ESC? Is this a possibility? Help me out Kev! or anyone! I'll post this again in the speed sausage video, to see if I get any hits. LOL
Amazing the whole world can race theeseđđđ
I wish they were avaible to get in other EU shops, unfortunately if I buy a Kamtec kit form UK I would have to deal with customs, really unfortunate because they are awesome kits.
Fav vid so far mate love your vids đ
