I keep yelling BOOM at my broken RC car, but nothing happens, it's still broken. Kev, what am I doing wrong?
Don't try it on a broken marriage people just don't understand đđ lol
Are you using a British accent?
Early gang. Hope everyone reading this is having an awesome day, and if not don't worry too much. Things will get better eventually.
Amen
Same for you
Itâs going better now this morning sucked but now good
I wish the same to you buddy, let's relax with some hobby content from Kevin the magnificent
Thanks bro
Ken, you definitely bring out the 17 year old in me,now 57! IM A LATE 80âS HORNET, clod buster, black foot and egress lover. Been out of the fun for many years but your channel has inspired me to pick up an X-MAX just yesterday. WOW!!! Love your channel all the way from New Jersey USA. Love the life size E-MAX too in your shop. Keep âem coming.
I still have my frog..........I got it when I was 14..........now I'm 49.........my brother had a hornet and a black foot..........good times
Saw a good trick where you put a bit of rubber tube over the bottom of shock shafts to stop the suspension being able to compress all the way, which should stop the drive shafts popping out. Something I'm going to try too as it can damage the outdrive cup when it happens. Just upgraded them on mine as it happened on the rear. nearly lost my m2c drive shaft
Vinny needs to put a 4mm piece of fuel tubing on the shock rod for a bump stop. The kraton is notorious for popping the driveshafts on heavy compression. This will solve it.
Not only that, but have to adjust the droop screws or add them. I would do the droop screw first
Traxxas makes bump stops for the revo that'd be more durable than tubing.
I haven't had a problem with driveshafts popping out since I went to RPM control arms. I do, however, break shock stand offs with heavier shock oil, and I'd think a bump stop could cause a similar issue. IMO just get RPM arms.
Get an X max for me
its just Arrma bs their whole line up has problems one way or another.... its arrma junk. most say traxxas is overpriced but i think arrma is because your paying for garbage
Hey Kevin what gearing u running on the HW combo.thanks in advance and God bless
I'm sure golfers still cringe when they see Kev ripping around the golf course. Bloody brilliant video, just great entertainment đ
for real
I've always found it interesting how hating on another hobby is a part of, in some cases central to, another hobby. For example, I white water kayak - we hate anything in the water with a motor (as well as those riding in or operating them). We also hate golfers who take gigantic plots of nature and then ride motorized scooters about while drinking beer (I've always admired this, if I am to be honest). I've also been involved in competitive cycling. Road cyclists hate mountain bikers. Time trialists hate sprinters. Riders hate casuals and cars and scooters and pedestrians. Getting involved now in RC cars and I am quite sensitive to this dynamic where some are builders of aluminum and carbon fiber bits (something that cuts across most hobbies), others don't like the building and simply want to break stuff (Talbot), others want to achieve a singular performance goal (speed runs), others just want a zen-like chill session (drifters), and so on and so forth. We are all so different, but exactly the same at the end of the day.
Hate to say it.. but yeah, good point.
Golfers and skateboarders

Managed to get to a nice bmx park with my new xmaxx recently and itâs by far the most fun rc Iâve had, it flies 10-15 feet so gracefully and just lands perfectly no damage it does not want to break. Happy bashing Kevđ».
Hi Kevin. Instead of buying hingpins I like to use welding rods, cut to size and thread both ends to add nuts and washers.
ARC welding rods.
I did the same with some extra thick nails I got from the hardware store. My X-Maxx is NAILED together!
@@appye7994hard as nails nice tip thanks for sharing
Never in my life did I think I would ever see a grown man give another grown man a spanking with a blown out rc tire. But here we are. I'm glad I got to see it it was hilarious. Next April fool's day.....
You're Welcome...
Beginning of video. Kevin: This is the word's best all around RC car. End of video. Also Kevin: broken xmax, broken xmax, broken xmax and another broken xmax. đ
Looks like you had a blast. đ And don't worry, I'm a big fan of Traxxas! đ
i really thought it was going in two like the other ones did XD
Kev, you can use just the inner race from an old bearing (the bearings for the diff actually work great) on your driveshaft cups to keep from breaking. They actually fit good enough they stay on without any glue or anything since the cup will spread slightly and become tight the the inner race. And with it on doesnât get in the way of getting the driveshaft in or out.
Iâve had mine on for a while now and for a free mod, because we are have old bearings around, itâs great!
Amazing idea!
I've done a similar thing with some steel rings on my Kyosho that was eating driveshaft cups every month or two, had the same ones on for about a year now and they're still like new... great mod đ
Never had to do this on the older models circa 2018/19 mine was solid
ko
Literally the best youtube channel for rc nerds. Thanks kev for all that you do ! Couldn't tell you how much I've learend since I started watching your videos ! Much love from Canada !
I wonder if I use a esc to control power to my servo so it use less power at fine then increase as I turn .
My parents couldnât afford to get me a big RC car but they made me the happiest kid when they got me a golden arrow đ. Itâs still working over 30 years later and survived me and my daughter and looking forward to seeing my granddaughterâs playing with it.
I learned the love of rc with the golden arrow too.
Pops had the red arrow.
Great memories.
Yes! I loved my Golden arrow also! I actually had to order a few sets of wheels & tire for mine... I wonder if those parts are still orderable?
Vinnie's DumboRC X6 transmitter most likely wasn't malfunctioning. I think it's just that the throttle trim wasn't properly set. It was fun watching all the effort it took to destroy it though. đ
AXI233021 Shock Bump Stop on the EXB could be THE solution. I have them on my 1:8 Kraton EXB below the shock boots to limit the overly generous uptravel of the suspension. Talion also has this problem. Would be nice if this could be tested in proper bashing.
Hi Kev, I love your videos. Do you mind getting an FTX outlaw 4wd brushless motor and check if it is a good dirt cheap rc car or not. Thankyou.
Kev please!!!!!! Get the red cat Rampage
This was an action packed video for sure, Thank you and all involved!
Yo kev I'm wondering if I buy the suzuki jimny rc car, do you think it's good or not
So Kev. Old RC'r and still have a MP7.5 with a .28 and fixed centre diff. Fun. Also have an original Half8 but want it brushless. Can this be done?
Kev!
Where is the lc racing emb-tg?
The Strong 1/14 buggy. Wanting to buy one, and would like some review.
If diff problems persist shims work, or I've seen a upgraded set from vitivon rc that might be worth a try (Haven't tried them myself).
The only part I seem to break on my Xmaxx is the front hub and hub carrier like you did. Iâve ordered the rpm front hubs and some rc 4wd aluminum hub carriers and will see how they hold up
The RPM front carriers are trash brother.... The Upgraded Traxxas HD ones are better
I'm thinking of starting back in the hobby with one them Arrma sentons once get cash together, but seeing Vincent's more expensive Arrma đ€ someone help me here is this a good choice for a start? Cheers lol
what's a good upgrade should I get for my traxxas slash 2wd cuz write now it's all stock
Hey Kev,what gearing and motor kv?
I NEED HELP i have stock traxxas stampede 2wd it is bit slow what i need upgrade first?
That was a fun one! Iâve tried the hub extenders from M2C, youre gonna find you break more steering components from the leverages, or at least I did
I like that brushless converted Nikko. I'm currently converting an old Radio Shack Tsauro-X to use modern 12mm hexed wheels and adjustable ball link steering.
19:57 omg. Iâm at work on lunch and now everyone is starring at me. I laughed so freaking hard. Absolutely love these videos.
Light weight is the way to go! I have a rustler with rpm suspension parts and a 4000kv hobbywing system and it just keeps on running!
You truly are the RC king love watching your videos you make them fun to watch every time best channel on CZcams when it comes to RC hobbyâs
Kevin i think that they should get rid of unbelted tyres because as soon as the tyres swell up the cars loose control. What's your opinion about this?
Hi bro
Can confirm that this is a good vid to watch at 11:37 pm. Keep up the good work kev! đđŒ
Claire is a real team player. I wouldn't let Kevin spray gravel, dirt, water, etc on me on a regular basis. Big thumbs up to Claire for being such a sweetheart.
thats creapy just sayin
What gear combo you using on that Xmaxx Kev? 1.5 mod?
Just trying to not burn out servo I'll try it and give my opinion if it works well or not
Hey Kevin can you do a review on the redcat epx I have one and I want to see what you think of it
The flapping at 19:27 seriously looks like some sort of catfight. Love it.
gotta love some good old bashes. even the music reminds me of all your videos. Really loved the vid, hadnt laughed so hard in a whileđ
Hey Kev, thanks for all the entertainment. Love the vids. Are you running badlands on your Xmaxx? How do you like them? I desperately need better tires on my xmaxx. Thanks.
Stick with stock and drill about 4 holes evenly around tire to help them from blowing out. They are the lightest and seem to unfortunately be one of the best still
Vinnie,
"oh wait I think the batteries were just dead"
X-Maxx isn't exactly my first choice of name yet it's great to see you taking things to the MAXX Mr. Talbot.
I just hope the shocks are filled to the MAXX with the right shock fluid.
I think it might be time you did another little video about shocks involving internal spring vs. external.
A real analysis of what to expect.
that really isn't kevin's forte
woulndt worry about the traxxas cars, its arrma that cant hold up
Hey kev! loved the video and great content as always!! Sounds like the diff thats gone in my opinion.
Where did you get the gears for that motor?
In ur experience is it normal for the shocks to leak a little?
Anyone got any tips for getting charge back into cell 1 on a 4s lipo? Tried a NiMH charger and it put all the charge into cell 2. Battery for the bin?
The problem with the Kraton is the droop screws. Have to either add some or adjust them to reduce the travel of the arms so nothing pops out đ
Outđ·ïž
arrma just sucks man
kev should i save for an xmass? or get a mini maxx or a different traxxas?
xmaxx!
Don't do this to your rc car/boat/helicopter/etc...
Most of what Kev does, unless you got money growing in the backyard. đ
Everyone should grow money in their yard.
From canada
Yes,i think so, donât hit the transmitter
The worst part is I break parts all the time and donât drive half as crazy as kev. I simply donât understand how his xmaxx can take so much abuse specifically the control arms cause mine break after much less abuse
@@9rpoolarisguy sometimes it's better to drive a bit more aggressive because the car becomes more stable
â@@joesmith4494 I'm trying, haven't found the proper seeds yet...
Those kids are so lucky I have such good memories as a kid going to race meets. I used to love the Schumacher cats as a kid. đ„°
Hey kev I was wondering if you have ever had a problem with the differentials on the mini maxxâs I broke the front so remove the drive shaft and now I broke the rear one. Has everyone had this I need to knowâŠđđđ
These Traxxass X-Maxxes seem to be so good they should be converted and used in the military, fire brigades and so on. I donât know if thatâs the case but these seem like a cheap and reliably platform to build anything on it. I may be wrong tho. I love them anyways. Will get one if I can afford.
they are not cheap D;
Itâs only reliable in its original state. As soon as you add weight to it, the parts break easier
What driveshaft are you using
Hahaha, oh man. I haven't laughed so hard at one of these videos until the XMaxx went head on with the Nikko. My god, this is pure comedy
Hi kev how with all the times you go out bashing and racing with your friends how do you make sure that your x maxx radio controller isnât on the same channel frequency as other x maxxâ s or other rc cars? Great vids btw just shows home much punishment these x maxx can take
Why bother to google?
Kev, If you would put out a full list of Xmaxx upgrades you would recommend that have worked the best for the Xmaxx. If you have that already could you point me to it, Thank you, Love it
Best part of this video for me is the Lad enjoying the afternoon with his Dad, then the BASHIIN!
Do u still spray the plastic with wd40?
Thank you for the laughs and smiles! Great Video.
Can you lock the diffs in one of you xmaxx trucks? It would never get stuck and it would be like a super fast crawler.
Great work Kevin, just some food for thought when does it become not an xmaxx with all the upgrades? .. I'm not being a nob just wondered your thoughts... Cheers man keep up the great reviews n testing!! đ
Did the shaft assembly bend?
I did the RPM knuckle conversion and it's much better, and the inside bearings are larger.
what gearing is being used? I have same ESC/Motor and trying to figure out gearing
One of his last videos is when he put the motor in. I donât remember what the gearing was but I believe he said.
Did the center driveshaft survive?
That is an EXB edition ARRMA Kraton. Made for EXtreme Bashing. I'm surprised Vinnie has so many problems with it. They look absolutely epic out of the box though.
my lhs guy and myself have the same issue, he uses a mojave, but for some reason lately our driveshafts pop out
Need to shave off 1 mm from the end of the arm to stop the shafts from coming out. Also adjust the droop screws although extreme bashing won't help.
Had the same thing happen to me as Martin, slash 2wd vxl 2s dumbo radio went berserk after about an hour and then suddenly disconnected from the receiver and it was programmed correctly in the right mode
That split shaft idea is great! Awesome vid again. Haha love the Boom Repairs
Kevin you are a riot Love your videos. Keep up the good work đ
What a beatiful location and sunset. Simply awesome. And the way, the both xmaxx losing their bodyshells are funny. Kev, i am going to be a follower of your channelâđŒ
In your opinion what's the best brand pinion gear.
Tekno
I wonder if you try out the traxxas widekit on your x maxx đ.
I love IT!
My x maxx hast the same specs like his đ
Hi kev, could you tell me what tyres you are using?
Outcast 8s backflips
First thing I did to my arrma talion was put some proline racing rims and tires on it (blockades).....I can't believe none of you ever do that!!! Its an absolute must and it looks way more badass. eeeYES! đȘđ
How much are they and where can you get them
Rebuild, play till destroyed, rebuild again. Repeat till you run out of parts. Absolutely love it.
Iâm building a 1/5 outcast EXB, but Iâve been sick for a week now and itâs really exhausting. Hopefully Iâll get over this sickness and be out bashing soon. đą
Pop a small piece of fuel tube (end on) into both outdrives and it'll stop the driveshafts popping out
Hey Kev are u going to try them new smart batteries
The last rc car I bought was from radio shack, so my rc knowledge is rather lacking and dated, but I love your videos and your energy
I had a golden arrow & a couple other radio shack rcs... its crazy what you can do with them now
F'ing love your work bro.
Hey kev if you ever get the chance to film the suspension while a tire is blown out and you are FINISHING IT that would be cool to watch the rpm arms and everything flexin đȘ
great bit of bashing there guys đ enjoyed watching that đ
the xmaxx driving right through Vinnie's Nikko was bloody hilarious đ đ€Łđ€Ł
Lol thx for giving the controls to the little kid kev. My leg still hurts lol đ luv ur vids man â€ïž catch ya later
âDoes it still work?â
LMAO. Kev, youâre the absolute best!
I wince every time watching these, would love to see a cost of repair at the end of these bash sessions or in the description. great videos as always Mr Talbot thank you
If its not electronic it's dosint cost much at all he broke maybe 17 $ lol đ
Lol, that was wayyyy more than $17. He broke the X-maxxâs chassis, front bulkhead, lower chassis brace, and blew out some tires that cost like $40 each.
And thatâs just the stuff I can remember off the top of my head đ
First time writing. Love watching your videos. How many batteries do you go throw to make a video
Watching Kevs videos always puts me in a good mood. đ€đ»đ€đ»
19:34 "is it 2wd or a 4wd?"
-"it's a slapper drive!"
ha ha ha ha
Please review the element rc nightrunner and the gate ceeper build kit please and
Stomping the controller had a very âOffice Spaceâ vibe going on.
I've had the front driveshafts popping out of my BLX V5 Notorious and i'm really glad someone with good visibility on the net is putting Arrma with their nose in the shit, cause its unbelievable this obviously known issue still hasn't been fixed on the EXB's...you can't build a car and rely on your customers to make it reliable (yes Arrma, your diffs and their shimming, their lack of oil, the front driveshafts popping out, the weak servo, the stupid servo saver you can't tighted and have to dismantle and shim, ...)
You can fix it for 10 cents with nitro fuel tube
also you can tighten the servo saver by adding washers. or get basherqueen adjustable one.
@@calebworland967 you can fix everything, but If i wanted to be wrenching much more than I was bashing, I would've just bought a Kit kar in the first place! When you sell a RTR vehicle, it should be really ready and without obvious known flows. Especially since i bought what is knowns as the V5 or fifth version of the same rig
can you do vxl rustler?
You are the best rc car CZcamsr
its nice to see the special ed class of '01 still get together and play!
hey kevin can u put the link in the description
love your vids man the work shows
