This is my fun channel, you'll find everything hobby related, rc cars, monster trucks, supercars, destruction and a bit of business stuff :) Although a lot of my videos are RC Car videos you will also see other stuff like business, Amazon FBA, eBay, Monster truck, Cars, insurance and many other topics.

Kevin is 100% why I bought one as my first RC. Heck I wouldn't have bought any RC without this channel. Traxxas owes him money. Only issues I've had are the inner wheel bearings immediately had all their seals pop off and of coarse, the rear of the body bending down and cracking.
Traxxas owes him money?!?!???? HOW!!???
Traxxas are trash, do yourself a favour and get a thunder Tiger/ team associated vehicle, practically indestructible straight out of the box.
And if you want to make it indestructible use RPM parts, I recommend leaving the stock hinge pins for the suspension arms on because if anything is going to break you want it to be them, very cheap to replace and can be changed in 30 seconds.
And I jump my trucks off 5 story high buildings without any problems
@@sinisterintentions3273 why would you even do that lol
100% agree - "the best car is the one that puts the biggest smile on your face!" Run what you like! This is supposed to be FUN!
Yup, even if itâs a cheapo car, you can still have so much fun with it.
More fun with cheap cars, the bodge repairs are what make it fun! đđ
Agreed.
My favourite out of my collection is my kyosho madvan, love it.
@@lukenukem1164 hahahah. I know. My lunchbox on steroids also wins it from all the Arrma's and traxxas's đ
Amen...bought 4 those Wl toys brushed ones...wicked fun
2:13 metal, plastic, HAMMER, BANG!đđ
Everyone gangsta till you see an rc car at a rc boat club.
The best in depth review of the XMaxx EVER ! Very qualified and based on years of experience. These are the videos we benefit so much from. You are a true value for the community and industry. đđđ
thanks kimberly :)
I agree i got back in the hobby used to run nitro savages t maxx i never would have bought a x maxx without his videos
Traxxas has made a lot of improvements I love the x maxx my opinion best rc monster truck basher ever
Re: the pinion coming loose, you could use a drill to create a shallow hole for the grub screw to sit in.
Hey well explained. I still run my original 6s Xmaxx and love it, still totally stock, only repairs have been the diff rings and pinions. Personally I dont think this truck has to be crazy fast to have fun, it doesn't need to win a race. It's all round handling and fun factor puts a bigger smile on my face than any of my other RC's.
This video was definitely something I needed to watch. I just picked up a used 6s X-Maxx and I'm going to give it a once over and start running it.
One day Iâll have one lol. But it costs more than what I paid for my daily driver đđ€·đ»ââïž
No capppp
Build one buy a few parts at a time you can build a roller for $500
How much did you pay for your daily driver and what car did you buy?
@@jbd2 oh ok sick
Valdemar Perez III Chevy cobalt for 500 bucks lol
I like the metal vs plastic test! đ
and the plastic wins because it's way more flexable than metal.
Plus it does not rust.
100% fun truck with fantastic durability...
I did find that pairing the Bluetooth module and updating the stock 8s esc using Traxxas link increased the power by a noticeable amount.... worth a try if you have a module lying around or borrow one just for update.
Cheers mate đ
unboxing an xmaxx is one of the best experiences you can ever have
Traxxas: âKev, XMaxx sales are slightly declining...â
Kev: âSay no-more fam..â
For real thats hella what it seems like Traxxas can't keep up in four years that's the newest Vehicle they have released they were hella reaching out for extra sales here
Addam Coy The âHossâ was a flop, so itâs best to resort back to their bread and butter LoL...
That is very true i don't think I even saw the hoss in my city i live in Cali Max Max's are cool they're just expensive to maintain it and I really love my Arma I haven't had any problems with my notorious I have one of the 3rd gen extreme basher
Xmaxxs are cool
Addam Coy Iâm in Cali too. A few Hobby shops around me have The Hoss but itâs not getting the attention people thought it would get. People still rather have the UDR, Slash Ultimate or the XMaxx. Iâm sure Iâll get a XMaxx once I get to mess with one. My 6S and 8S Arrmaâs have my attention right now đ©.
I like the Notorious though đ€đœ!
Iâve only recently discovered your channel, itâs refreshing to see someone so enthusiastic about their hobby, your love for RC shines through in your videos and itâs a joy to watch. I had a traxxas slash prior to children arriving and was one of things I had to sacrifice but itâs great to live vicariously through your channel
Hope you can start the hobby agaion some time dude
I have 3 kids and one with special needs even, and I share the hobby with them... along with having some of my own fun. đ. I believe us as parents we need some healthy stress relief once in a while and there is no reason to sacrifice one over the other buddy. Go get back into the hobby and have some fun! (Save for it if u have too, thatâs what I do đđ). Good luck, be safe, and god bless!
@@KevinTalbotTV hey Kev. please tell my parents how great a xmaxx. I live in uae it is very expensive. please maybe give away an xmaxx to me. I always wanted a xmaxx but is is expensive. if not it is ok but just make a video how great a xmaxx is.
@@Yeshva322 bruh you just told one of the comments you got a hobby grade rc car. Dont rush in hobbys dude. Hobbys are for when you have money. If you need money just learn from the man itself. He sells things on ebay for a living. If he can be succesfull so do you.
@@haseefryan9940 thanks I will follow it
I do like the orange anodized accents! It looks super cool.
A good tip I learned from Ryan Lutz about the grub screws on pinions, center drive couplers etc, is that the flatter the grub part of the screw the better lock it will provide. ie more force required to break it free from its torque. The manufacturing process' companies use on most grub screws leave a raised circular area around the outside of the screw like what can be seen on the rotor shaft in the video. Before instaling, put the grub screw on your hex driver and run the bottom of the screw across some sandpaper and give it a nice flat spot.
Hey man...love the videos! Im actually getting an xmaxx this week, cant wait! Im just getting back into the hobby. The allens you use in your drill....do they come in a a pack or do you have a link?? Thanks in advance!
Simply put
I NEED ONE!
Yes .. Yes.. You do ... Well worth it ....
Bigger in life!!
@@ericpeterson9676 đ€đ100% true .. Its pretty big đ€ but thats what she said .....đđ
Me personally I like 1/10 scale but I wouldnât complain if I had a xmaxx
That little truck is a beast! Saving up for one now. Great videos!
This Top Gear Episode of RC Car with Richard looks great.
I just got my first proper RC truck, the Traxxas Maxx. The X-Maxx looked too intimidating as did the price tag since I had to buy batteries, a charger and a few other bits. My son is 10 and we're looking for something for him now in the 2s or 3s range. Love the videos, love the nonsense when racing.
Xmax looks good but I love my 6s Revo. Can't wait to see the 80cc engine in the raminator. Keep the vids coming Kev.đ
Thanks for the great video mate! I'm looking at getting one of these. Saw one in the hobby shop today and they're massive! I used to have a Revo 3.3 nitro and that thing was bulletproof! Couldn't break it.
Great video Kevin. You brought me back in. Love the upgrade info. Hope you find some good land soon, good luck on your searching.
Guess who just bought one a few minutes ago? Me! i got the rock n roll version i will make many videos of it when it comes in. Love your videos Kev!
Has it really only been 4years? I feel like I've been watching for ever
Got to get me one of theses!! Great reviews! đ
This guy is so passionate.
Cant imagine anyone else pitching RC to me.
Kev always makes me happy I miss my xmaxx so much!
What happened to it?
RIP
What happened to it pal
@@Adm5604 had to sell it sadly needed the money.
@@bf1isabeast178 had to sell it I needed the money.
This has to be one of the best reviews of anything ever đ very thorough, covered literally everything
Wow that suspension seems so smooth lands so well!
Loved the video Kev. Nice job!
Yep, it was you Kev that really made me say "yes" to the x-maxx. No regrets.
The old one you gave to Vinny is like triggers broom 3 new heads 2 new handles đ
Your metal and plastic example was perfect. A great way to show why metal isn't always better.
I keep wrecking the drive train in mine. Anybody have any good recommendations specifically for center diff gear , spur gear, and gear that drives center diff gear? More durable ones?
When Kev showed the highlight real I was thinking where the green hut at.
0:41 the shocks are so satisfying
Wow great video you really test it well no messing about đđ»
Hi Kevin. Thank you for the amazing videos and R/C reviews that you make!!! Please help me with the following, are there any adapters for those batteries in order to be connected directly with the car and avoid cutting the wires and lose guaranty? Also what type of charger do you suggest? Thank you! Greetings from GREECE!
Plot twist: it's not an X-Maxx, just a mini Maxx and Kev is really only 4' 3" tall. đ
XD
Lol
B.S he is 5 9
@@gcore123 r/woooosh

Iâve had my Xmaxx for about a month now and literally last night I took out the stock spur to swap in the 46 tooth speed gear. I wanted to see if more wheel speed would equal easier back flips and wheelies. But after opening the packaging and reading the literature which says not for off road bashing , I put the 54t back in. And today I see Kev use that gear and bash the heck out of it.
Yeah... rustler 4x4 vxl can also be bashed with the 20t
Iâm going to order mine soon and Iâm hyped
Hi Kevin. What would you recommend for someone who is interested in getting back into the hobby, âICâ or electric. Any particular model you would choose?
Man kev is going crazy with new content...
Iâll probably watch this video 10 more times until I spend my 1k to get mine lol. đđđ€Ł
so true

@@geraldcadyii5772 I decided to just get a big rock v3 for now
Hi kevs, i like your vedio so much specialy the way u assemble Xmaxx truck and installing motor the pinions parts and accesoreis . Great vedios.
Awesome freaking video!!! đ„đ„đđœđđœđȘđœđȘđœ
Thanks for making all these great vids I support them all. Ur so cool.
love the xmaaaaax body!
Got an XMAXX bc of this vid soTHANKS Kev!! Its deff a GREAT RC with LOTS of presence!!
Hi just a question with the best pinion n spur gear to put in my xmaxx so it got a bit more wheel speed thanks
My local hobby shop has one, and I was amazed at the size! I knew it would be huge, but it was even bigger than I thought!đ
The shop I work at has a couple for sale, they are huge! And move scary quick for how big they are!
Agreed, they don't look that big on videos, in person though its shocking how big they are.
Thats what she said
Hey Kevin! HereÂŽs a request for a video: Nitro vs Electric, where you go through pros ands cons with owning and driving each!
Electric 100% the best ,fastest and most reliable .
Awesome video Kevin always like your videos keep up the great work
Kept saying I'd get one, but it would have to be a used roller. Something I could build myself and put my own electronics in. Not a Traxxas fanboy, but this is the one truck they make that I always look at!
When is the E-Revo going to be out again.đ
I need to find a lake like that near me so I can hit some ramps with my RC boats.
Coo vid. Love my XMaxx too. Unfortunately just blew up a motor in mine. Bearing was toasted. Was wondering whether to get another stock motor, or get a castle system. Iâm sure Traxxas will help me out with a new motor, so it should be a lot cheaper than a castle. Kinda leary about the stock esc though. It is a newer XMaxx, not sure if they improved the esc or not. Opinions?
Great videos Kevin! Maybe I should try some RC videos!
Tip: When you don't want to strip out a thread in plastic, then just turn a screw slowly anti clockwise until you feel the screw pop, because that's the point
where the thread of the screw and the thread in the plastic align with each other, and then you wil feel how easy the screw is getting back in.
And don't overtighten the screw because that could cause the plastic thread to strip anyways.
U described how to not cross thread it not how to not strip it. And going counter clockwise first goes for any screw not just plastic
11:50 This is where the Hoss was taken.
13:50 This was one of the places where the Kraton exb was taken.
What gearing do you run just for all around fun with no problems, and what brand of gears? Thank you
So far my favorite RC is the 1/16 revo, I may pick me up a 1/16 summit later on when I can spend the money on one, So small, easy to shove in my tool box on my truck and lock it, it even fits under my seat in my truck, I do wish my revo tires were a bit bigger, but I think the summit would be better suited for me. My 1/10 scale trucks, I use to own, 1 of them was stolen right out on my truck, can hide the and lock up the 1/16 much easier lol
I work at a hobby shop. I love Arrmas, especially the mega and 3s lines, we definitely sell those the most. I think the 6s line is good but like you said, chassis bend. We generally donât recommend traxxas for all around bashing and mainly sell them for racing. But with that said, we LOVE the xmaxx. Out of all the vehicles Iâve run for demos and after repairs, the xmaxx has been one of my favorites
Xmaxx: exists
Kev: IâLL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK!
Any tips for the 8s xmaxx pinion gear coming loose? if Iâm wanting to keep it all stock for now I just bought one 3 days ago
Thank you Kevin for getting me into another hobby especially during pandemic and keep up your great work :-)
@Keenan 556 bruh
I finally ran my 8s Kraton for the first time after sitting in the box since first shipment when I got it, then I ran my Xmaxx n Xmaxx is still my top dogg!!
Whats this ur 3rd Xmaxx in ur fleet?
STEVO D 313 glad to hear you got out and ran your 8S RCs!
Hell yea I just got a 8s one yesterday .traded my almost new 6s plus 100 cash for a nice decent one with some mods to a awesome guy I traded rcs with a couple times . He was like i know your sons gonna love it so I'll do it. HE IS A AWESOME FRIEND
I just purchased the same new 8S X-Maxx as in your video & so far I love this truck. Love your videos đ
Have you tried the new hd arms yet? What gearing would you recommend?
do you ever watch a kevin talbot video and you say "man i wish i had that rc"
Edit (just for the replys) : im pretty poor so thats why i say that
Yes im getting the hbx im exited
I never didnât
I want the raminator!
Yes
That's how I got in to this crazy hobby. Started with a bangood special JLB 21101 and now I'm up to 10.
Just gotta say something about the X-Maxx. I got mine almost a year ago already, and I never had an issue with it. I one tried To jump it a good 20 feet, it landed right on the tire and kept rolling until it hit a metal pole. I was so worried but the car took it like a champ and survived. Then I crashed it a few more times. But still no damage at all, the X-Maxx is pretty much bulletproof and it is a absolute blast to drive. It still impresses me how a rc car that size could go that fast. That is my review on the X-Maxx, I highly recommend it 5 stars.
Yep it's incredibly tough, I hit this creek ditch at 70-80kmh, car flipped like 5 times in a row, no damage at all.
I like how kev modifies every rc before even turning it on
Kevin did you have to do the steering upgrade? With the longer screw and bolt ?
Funny that, was just saying to the missus that we could do with changing the car, think this one should do đ.
Hey, i can dream
Change car and buy a longboard and a rope? Or little red wagon? Way more fun for the environment...or clean or whatever
Makes me question if I really need to pay my mortgage this month.
Getting my first xmaxx tomorrow can't wait đ€
That things must be so much fun! đđ
thank you kevin for your input! greatly appreciated and i can't wait to see it against the krayton.
Hey Kev, I just got a Maxx after years out of the hobby. Cant thank you enougu for getting me back into this
I said I would never buy a traxxas but after seeing this review & a few other ones âïžIâm all in , gotta have this Xmaxx 8s ! This thing is a absolute beast , great review & run , keep going hard Kevin !!!đ
14:56 Heads Up! Flying X-Maxx!
I blew my stock gears up yesterday after 1 year of running, first spur blew up in 4 pieces then the pinion chipped a tooth.
I always liked RCs, but always had toy grade ones, so I got a rustler for trying out a couple of years ago, after a while I got to your channel and a few months later I got an X-maxx and it is awesome.
It is awesome indeed!!You did the right thing by getting a xmaxx right of the bat my man.. wish I would have done that...lol my favorite by far.. of all the 8s rcs out there..by far the best in its scale and class!! Plus if you break something.. xmaxx parts are super cheap considering what arrma parts cost!!!
@@morganyates6598 Thanks, although I already broke the spur gear, so I bought a steel one. I guess the only problem is that where I live there are no good hobbie shops, so I have to order everything online and since I am not in the US/UK, it takes 2-3 weeks. Initially, I was thinking about the Arma Kraton 8s, but the price of the parts and Kevin convinced me to get the X-Maxx instead.
Truly the king of all RC cars x
I looovvvee the 2-wheeling while turning...seriously impressive! Both the driving skills and the pure power/geometry of the vehicle. Although, to be fair, I'm not entirely sure if it is more about the skill or the technical capability of the vehicle...
BENT THE SHASSY!
great stuff !! .... just a Question: fully charged batteries, how long does it run ?
I got no idea
Around 1937467281632883637218918363621011928283645739291 years
30 min to an hour

Quite along time Iâve used them for an hour at once
Lol this is like 3rd video on this but I'm not complaining these are actually so sickđđŒđđŒ
What the best spur gear yo get, iv gone through 3 steel gears already. Please help đ€
think he need some money
i had 6 ads in 8 minutes
I had 2 ads on the video
3 ads
I saw 3 yellow bricks but only got 2 ads. He does not chose how much ads there are in, i think yt choose it self
How do you think he gets all of his RC cars?
I got no ads and I'm not premium
Cant wait to get one Kev! Thanks for the review! Fingers crossed that Santa brings me one this year. That is if i can save up the 1000$ to send him.
And they doesnât include the $500 for the batteries đ
So what servo do you run in all your X Maxxs? The stock 2085 or do you upgrade them to the 2085X?
Kevin, my X-Maxx motor is stiff. Might have something to do with running it in the mud. Do you have a video or could you make a video on how to maintain the motor?
You forgot to say. "Can it run on water, yes! But a boat will probably do it better"
You're the only one i know who can crash new rc's in less than 20 seconds! đđ
I used to have a little stampede which was freaking awesome. The perfect little basher for beginners imo. Itâs pretty cheap and the parts are cheap too. Even upgrades! I freaking love Traxxas lol
When did they stop making these with gas engines? I had a TMaxx I think it was, but it was 15 years ago. But it was gas powered, thatâs why I bought it. I saw one in a park and had to have one. Are gas powered RCs still a thing or did it kind of die out when better battery tech came along?
Do you guys have a 1/10 rtr 2wd ep monster mud digger? Because itâs the first proper rc car I have right now.
Kevin, I bought one on Horizon and when asked where did you hear about it I named you. Traxxas owes you....
