I can’t imagine the reality being more different from the promise of a new RC!! Looked amazing, actually a POS! Entertainment value off the scale, thanks Kev and crew!!
I mean, it seems that the material they used wasn't strong enough to handle the raw torque and power!!!
It needs some DJI cyber nanny calibration lol 😂!
Looked like whatever method they used to keep the tires from expanding at speed failed miserably 👍. The wheels seem to be to fragile to stand up to normal use,much less any abuse.
They sent the car out with 3d printed wheels lol if they had real wheels and had enough clearance between the underbelly it would've been fine.
That thing is awesome Kev. It's redefined the hobby. No longer do you have to go fast or bash a RC car for it to explode it does it first time you touch the throttle! Major timesaver. Makes Stemp a bit redundant though, replaced by a machine that destroys itself, sorry Stemp, you have been made obsolete! That's 2022 for ya!
🤣🤣
🤣
That car reminded me of Jackson storm Until it blew up of course super glad I did not spend a Dime on that vehicle thanks Kev.....
ok wich manufacuterer makes the biggest boom when flooring it is the new contest.
This comment cracked me up! 🤣
I’m in shock...... it’s as if they never even drove the prototype much less the final model before shipping them out. It’s absolutely gorgeous but that is the equivalent of a show car prototype. Never goes over 10 mph trailered from garage to show and back lol this is a lovely desk or shelf model
yeah my thoughts exactly lol
Yep bragging rights only
Except they did... Kevin just bashed on the car for clicks... He single handedly killed their business
@@Patrik2166 except he didn't do his normal bashing, he was actually going really easy on it, and it literally just crumbled. He didn't destroy their business, he showed his audience how crap the product was even if by accident.
@@Patrik2166 they killed their business. He didnt do anything crazy and all of this should of been sorted out before they even sent it out. Plus who tf sends out a prototype? Also they said they wouldnt send anymore stuff to youtubers and do their own testing when they should of fixed it and sent it back to kevin to test again which would have restored peoples faith in the business. This is 100% their fault and he had every right to bash it when it broke before even driving it and then shattered on the first turn.
The car did nothing, and yet was still the most spectacular rc I've ever seen in action. Wow what a showing, and just when I started to think 1500 dollars was too expensive it really delivered the thrills. I can't wait to see someone achieve a full 14 foot speed run with it.
XD
The car did nothing and yet was completely destroyed
Underrated comment, oh my.
Looks like junk imo
Kev, this is where your value to us and the hobby really shows up. Nobody that watched this absolute catastrophe will buy this car and make the same mistake. 'Preciate you Pal 🤙🏼
@@tylerseabook9423 bashing... are you serious. The thing exploded at under 10 mph on moderately flat ground. The fact that it exploded on his work bench should show you how brittle the parts are on this thing. Potential is there if it's made from the right material.
@@tylerseabook9423 Dumbest thing, really? Looks to me like the tire expansion happened on the stand before any bashing occurred. So angry. You really should get laid more. Step out behind that keyboard fella.
@@tylerseabook9423 Not been on the internet long if that's the dumbest thing you have ever read. Agree with the rest though.
@@tylerseabook9423 What do you mean?? The tires would have "ballooned" regardless of where he had driven it! Just looks like the company never tested what would happen at high speeds! How does your comment explain the incident of the tire ballooning on the bench breaking the spoiler? 🤷 💩
Well the God news is that only 25 were made. So I think we are good
For once, Kev can't be blamed for destroying the car. Has to be the worst failure ever.🤣
welllllllll it is the same wheel he unscrewed 😅
it's not his fault the car is not durable and it has too much power
Sad but Agreed
@@kneckel and two that he didn’t if you actually watched the vid…
I feel so bad for him!!!
I come back to watch this every couple of months, it's so funny.
Same, this is gold! 😂
7:13 The camera panning to Kev, who throws is to Steve as he turns and walks away out of frame is perfect.
It initially looked amazing and a real game changer. My jaw dropped when I saw the in-belted tyres balloon and break the diffuser. The test run was so funny for all the wrong reasons, and this time not Kevins fault. Mammuth have suspended sales on their website and posted on Facebook to take responsibility for the horror show due to substandard wheels.
Good for them maybe have a look at the suspension components quality while they are at it
How could they not know though😂. It’s not like it was an extreme test😭😭
Those "factory modded" tires and wheels are an absolute joke.
Edit: ...and get rid of the wood on the bottom, and replace it with a proper Carbon Fiber plate also... 😕
The entire car is 3d printed, this is shit quality and the reason it is so expensive.
I wouldn't even bother with that thing, lost cause without some substantial upgrades.
The moment I saw the wheels were 3d printed i knew this was going to go bad, looks like the suspension arms were 3d printed as well.
Cool concept... for cnc machined parts. 4 hub motors will see that thing blasting at ludicrous speeds. May want some belted tires as well.
Did the manufacturer even test this thing? lol
lol
To be fair, this thing looks to be designed for super smooth high speed tracks, a parking lot like that might as well be off-road as far as it is concerned.
Just the fact that it has a wooden floor
Apart from what people think 3d printed parts are actually really strong, you just need to learn to use the material correctly: I have 3d printed rims, but every wall is thick between 5mm and 10mm, same for the Shocks arms. It's really sad for this car to fail like this, it looks like the damages wee caused by real silly errors. I would have made all those blue parts out of molded nylon, the motors mounts almost two times thicker, the chassis thicker, the body mounted traditionally with clips, the motors controlled by a flight controller (like fpv drones) and the wheels belted. It looks like a really good prototype tough, it just need some minor but vitally important modifications 😂😢
They didnt even take into account tire growth at RPM which was why it kept failing, first time on the bench.
I liked the look of this, reminded me of the esc and motors from my old racing quads. Conceptually awesome (could potentially use gyro and motor speed for traction control and torque vectoring). In practice… it’s a ways off yet 😅
One of the best Talbot videos in a while haha
Sorry that this happened to you. I hope the manufacturer steps up to help you fix it. Keep up the great testing!
no drop test,
no torture test,
not sending it to to moon..
rc car still EXPLODES 😂
another quality content from Kev! 👏
😂
No staircase off doome 🙈
Lol
The technology behind the car is brilliant and innovative. The wheels are far too brittle. Needs more testing and development. Hope it does well.
@@Cloxxki I think the wheels were 3D printed by the looks of it, just not strong enough. I was really hoping to see this car absolutely fly. It's certainly got the power. When Kev pushed the throttle and turned the steering, it was catching the underbody. There are a few flaws that ironing out. Gutted it ended so early.
3:34 the front right tire touches the plastic while steering
It looks like no one even tested it
This is literally 4 drone motors and a re-programmed drone controller in an (apparently) poorly 3D printed chassis. I wouldn't call that overly innovative, and for the price it's an absolute joke, considering that they seemingly couldn't even be bothered to do literally any product testing.
Brilliant Innovative and invented in 1898 by Ferdinand Porsche...
@@dirkmohrmann8960 it doesn't look 3d printed, but it is poorly design (if you can call it that), the wheels can't hold the torque of the motors, and it doesn't have space for the wheels to deform or even steer (at 3:34 the front right tire stops wheen touches the plastic while steering)
pretty impressive build quality.
😂
Love sitting down at the end of the day sipping a coco and watching my favorite rc youtuber mess about this is why kev is the best person on CZcams
I feel like with a bit more R&D the car can be insane. I see a lot of potential in this kind of car.
It looked like the rims were 3D printed and they just slung apart (which is what I predicted). I did see a ton of potential there though
You see a lot of potential, I see a lot of waisted money.
cool concept, drone motors as wheels but yeah...four hex screws to hold them on?? I knew instantly that they would fail catastrophically with any power to them. I'm not even an engineer and that was obvious.
Jesus it blew itself apart that was one of the shortest lived pieces of kit I've ever seen on your channel. Thanks for spending the $$$ so we didn't have to! Can't wait to see the rebuild with proper parts. It looked so stealth before it went tits up lol
Soooooooooooo by the power of GOD eh? 😅
I'm guessing as soon as you come off the power the motors use magnetic field for braking to. Perhaps adding power then reducing power is asking too much of the 3d printed mounts and the fast slowing/braking action caused the failures. You'd think they would test it before sending it to you lol. Great video, haven't laughed like that in a while.
Looked amazing, I just did not except it to explode parts like that. I would feel so disappointed not getting one clean run.
Got to be a record. Fastest time Kevin has broken an RC car.
Nah de car broke itself
Gotta be a record the most expensive maintenance rc car too!
Send it back to them with all the pieces it left behind😂
The manufacturer knew exactly what they were doing. "Let's take this guy's money and 3D print him a hypercar." 😂😂😂😂
That's a hard pass on that RC.
For real, thing just Lego deconstructed itself.
@@Boogie_the_cat makes sense
🎉❤❤😮
That is a L rc car
Well… you have to admit, the engineering got into this car has been exceptional. I like the ideas, and with all the electronics it is definitely a step forward.
The choice of 3D printed wheel, and suspension parts is a bit… wrong imo, especially when using the wrong materials. That was probably the main issue here…
They can't have done any testing, he ran the throttle up on the bench and even without the body on, it self destructed 🤣
Seems like it should have just been a mod kit for an existing Arrma platform, rather than making a new platform out of 3D printed self destructing materials.
With the motors mounted to the wheel the force on the control arms will be huge. They will need to be way bigger and stiffer in addition to better material
Lol you're probably right, tires shouldn't shatter like that for something that costs that much
Also the wheels are printed in such a way they're not balanced.
Holy balls, am I glad I saw this. This MUST be the most fragile RC car I've ever witnessed. What is this thing made of, bubble gum and wet tissue? This certainly goes a long way in explaining why the manufacturer demo'd the car on an indoor basketball court. A perfectly smooth surface. I was considering picking up one of these...at a price point of $1500 without a transmitter I would have been absolutely livid. I wouldn't pay $500 for it now.
I wouldn’t pay $1..
I think bubblegum and wet tissue would have lasted longer actually! 🤣🤦♂️
I remember a 1/10 offroad competition car called the predator, that thing was also made of glass like this car
Well said. What a a waist of money.
I’m new to RC cars but have been building drones over the last year. This is more reminiscent of a drone than an RC car and I love it!
I was expecting this car to be insane not with just awsome looks but speed!! 😅 I was so shocked to see how easily it is for it to brake, great idea but who ever made this car needs to redesign how the car works!
1500$ for a wooden chassis?
30 seconds of run time before a catastrophe....
Thank you for testing the way you do. This just saved so many people, so much time and money. Certainly people would've scurried to this model had they not seen how fragile it is.
nah wooden skid plate, the chassis was carbon fibre
@@somerandom7215
OK it's bellypan, still doesn't mean that's a proper excuse to MAKE A 1500$ RC WITH PLYWOOD!
And trying to justify plywood on an rc car, is like trying to say the model A, is current high tech.
Its called a scam... Obvious one at that
Hint: learn a thing or two before making comments. Morgan still uses wood in their vehicles, same as Kenworth and Peterbilt.
@@muskokamike127
INTERIOR DESIGN pieces in a mass production heavy haul VEHICLE vs high performance oriented TOY......... really?
You certain you want to continue chatting rigs with a retired diesel mechanic as your defense?
This is why we need Talbot in the hobby! Lol I appreciate the stress testing!
Exactly! He's perfect to test and break! He's so well off that it doesn't matter a shit to him if he wastes $1500. Lmao
LOL
lol, "stress" testing. If you redefine stress testing to moving about for longer than 10 seconds...yeh.
Wasn't even tested, it destroyed itself 🤣
Good god! I love the concept of that car. A motor on each wheel, no diffs, no gears, no driveshafts. What crap manufacturing. It destroyed itself immediately. Either they had a major malfunction in the making of the parts or they’re idiots! How is something that piss poor made and then shipped to someone like Kevin? It’s not like he beat on it. Seriously. WTF!
i'm actually surprised direct drive hasn't been a thing before this. those are essentially drone motors. would love to have seen this at speed. now ive got some ideas, maybe for a smaller scale, ive got some smaller drone motors laying around with a flight controller and 4way esc. hmmm
They are drone motors.
I agree, completely.
This has given me some ideas.
Direct drive doesn't make sense for a car like this. A community vehicle, yeah, sure, but not for this.
It's a shame because I really like the concept behind this and cosmetically the design is great. How Mammuth will respond to this will be really interesting as I think handled correctly they have the opportunity to turn this around. I see they have halted sales which is a good start. What I'd love to see next is somebody come over to the UK to provide Kevin with a car with the issues resolved (at the very least the wheels need to be much stronger and the tyres should probably be foam or belted) then we need to see the can run properly without falling apart (unless perhaps it hits something).
I saw this car a while back, thought it looked like it could be epic, but was wondering how the motors would stand up to kerb strikes, then the wheels exploded before it got near a kerb 😂
Curb*
Dafuq is a kerb?
Curb ..
@@carvidz7504 kerb /kəːb/ noun a stone edging to a pavement or raised path.
Kerb is UK English, curb is American English so if you septics want to carry on correcting British people how to write the language do carry on but don't think you're always right. Take it easy guys!
'Drive it till the wheels come off' - Didn't take very long.
One of my most fav episodes 😂 all the anticipation and excitement, but first the damage in the shop, then spontaneously exploding on location, then complete destruction with hilarious reactions 🤣 😆 pure gold. Could have been any car, it doesn't matter, just epic content 👌
Kev: makes a review for a giant 1/7 scale car.
Also Kev: let's see what this BABY can do.
XD
Looks like they've got quite some development to do! I think the weakest rc car is stronger than this, especially at the price of more than $1400. I had high hopes for it, it looks so sick. Hopefully they can solve the issues!
I think a 140 dollar rc car could handle more abuse than this. Hell, if that $140 car his this thing, it would be fine but this expensive ass car would explode into a million pieces.
its designed for axial stress, not lateral, theres a reason its a top speed machine
@@victorkrivor2174 that makes no sense at all. top speed cars still have to endure lateral stress since they'll never drive perfectly straight. the power alone is enough to snap components on this thing.
You'd be gutted if you'd spent $1500 on it, and it must be the first time we can ever say, you weren't being tough on it!!
Love their blurb - zero axles - zero differentials - minimal maintenance
🤣🤣🤣
They forgot to add 'zero durability' 🤣🤣
Well they're not wrong, you wont be maintaining it as it'll live on the shelf........in bits lol
@@Gavs_rc_hobbies
And ,Zero Wheels! 🤦♂️🤣🤣
zero wheels lol
It looked insanely fast when it was moving! I think you got more smiles out of this in the 42 seconds it lasted than any of your other R/C's!
The postmortem twitching at 7:40 just sent me over the edge. I’ve never laughed so hard at an RC video. So embarrassing its pissing hilarious and Claire laugh makes the video lmfao. “A bit there … and a bit there” lol!!!
It’s a great concept, but all the FDM printed parts scared me away for this exact reason.
people really need to invest into injection molding if they want to make products that last. This was tough to watch haha.
it looks like it wants to fly too
@@darealkosmo You can do a post process on FDM parts where you pack them in salt and then re-melt them. They should reform into a solid part with a stronger crystaline structure. Still wont be as good as injection modling though.
oh yeah and whoever sells you anything structural 3d printed in plastic know that but hey, shhhh
The concept is fantastic, the design looks awesome, the execution......
Sorry to see that happen Kev. I actually think that when these things are ironed out they will be brilliant. Just needs some re-thinking.
And it is so quiet!!! When you think about it tech-wise, it's a ground drone.
Fun vid Kev!!
Cant iron out anything printed its way to brittle
I think I laughed just as hard watching that car explode into bits. Brand new Kevin being behaved and it still call undone in about 5 min flat. 😄
So much potential, curious why a company would release something without enough R&D
Seems to me like the motors should be inboard to reduce unsprung weight and also fixed firmly to the chassis so they don’t twitch and torque the suspension. The main failings are the wheels though which should have been easily avoided, shame as it looked like it was going to rip
It's like they designed the car and never actually tested it.
The main problem is the clearances between the chassis and the ground and between the wheels and the body.
That was the funniest thing I've seen all week, thank you so much
No. 4/25, good luck getting parts for that thing.
It looks amazing though, great concept
Cool car & concept but was skeptic from the start. LOVE cantilever suspension like with the Traxxas Revo & Summit. Though when I saw how the wheels were connected to those out-runner motors, along with It breaking because of simple wheel expansion. I knew this wasn't going to end well but didn't expect it to happen so fast. Really would've thought they'd tested that first (especially something that cost $1500) but obviously not.. Amazing video
Him: Body is held on with magnets.
Me: Oh boy... that's bound to end well...
Update: and I was right. Whoever made that thing was very naive.
Those motors look like large drone motors to me, can't imagine them being any good if dust gets in them... oh never mind it exploded. :-/
the strongest car i have ever seen 🤣
2:58.... To heck with adapters, just cut the connector off the battery leads, and solder the correct connector right to the battery itself.
I tried adapters in the past on high power model applications, and I found that some of them got warm to hot and started to slightly melt and disform.
The more connectors in a high power system, the more power ends up wasted as heat, and doesn't make it to the drive motors.
I like the idea & it has potential. It’s made out of out very cheap 3D printed materials. Didn’t they test it, before sending it to Kevin 🤷🏼♂️
To be honest, no amount of testing would make it Kevin proof ...
Yaa
Kevin IS the tester!!! 😆
Not bad, traveled 12 meters before catastrophic failure, great value £100 a meter.
Hello Kevin, just wanted to say thank you for all of the hard work and dedication youve put into the content on your channel. Youve helped me tremendously at times when i had issues with my trucks plus the content is very entertaining. Keep up the hard work it definitely doesn't go unnoticed nor unappreciated. Keep on grinding brother!
5:57 I can't stop laughing
How'd it just disintegrate randomly like that 😂😂😂😂😂
Self distruct
This car was definitely more of a collectors item than a car to actually be driven, I can't believe it just fell apart like that tho.
Lol I've literally implemented the same idea with some drone motors I had around and some 3D printing. I expected it to be super fast, but in the end, it was super hard to control ( I guess due to extra mass and inertia in the wheels ) and I crashed and burned it on the first test run. I still plan to return to it and try again, maybe I get some inspiration from these guys.
This has always been the problem with hub motors, in full-size applications as well. Far too much unspring mass.
@@ChrisBLong, They have a gyroscopic effect. Unsprung mass is not an issue when you have it dampened for its weight. Unsprung mass is always brought up in the full-size car world and is always a myth that has no effect on the vehicles. Besides, the parts were 90% 3D printed. if it were injected molded or machined parts it would have not had these issues. The company is a POS.
get the inspiration from other guys or keep it up with your idea, as you have seen in this video theres nothing to learn from and its sad
Check out "e laermans" efforts on CZcams... Very, very effective with hubmotors on a car and a reverse-trike.
Nice car but I think it's back to the drawing board for this model. Better wheels, suspension needs to stronger and no ballooning tires. Just needs these parts to be be better and you have a winner. Once these are sorted out it will sell a lot I think.
Every time I see Kevin's unboxing videos I think, ok I would have done that ok. When he gave it gas on the stand and it broke the diffuser off I about shit my pants hahaha. Funniest video I have seen In a long time. Thanks Kevin!
As soon as I saw all the load bearing parts and wheels were 3D printed I had a feeling this was just going to disintegrate, I wasn't wrong lol
Right! As soon as he took the body off you noticed all the 3D printed parts. I was like damn no way those will hold up I must be wrong they only look printed then oops lol
The drivetrain, motor setup, and software looks great. Just think they need to work on durability “slightly”. Stronger wheels, stronger hubs, stronger diffuser (or more space for tire expansion) better mounting system for the body. Ok so basically I think it’s a great prototype to hang on the wall, but it’s not ready for the consumer yet.
I agree with this dude. Hopefully Kev didn't kill this cars image before it had a chance to sell and fix its problems
The first thing to do for them is to make the tyres belted
I agree, if the motor is in the wheels, they need to be strong to take the added weight and torque
Claires laugh was priceless 😂
Here is my thoughts going in. Getting multiple motors to match preciously speed isn’t as simple as it sounds.
Gotta love a "WHAT HAPPENED!?!" moment before it leaves the bench!
3D printed parts on a monster like that had absolutely no chance of standing up to the torque that thing puts out…..
What advantage would this design even offer?
with the right size of tyre will be the best car on the market! well done guys, awesome ideas, fantastic car
They didn't make you pay for that lump of💩did they?🤣
I've been waiting for someone to do this with torque vectoring etc... I'm genuinely gutted!!
You really need a special made motor with a huge shaft, maybe 4mm steel if you want it to really be able to survive a beating. Also going to need to design the bell to protect the magnets in the motor better so that dust from the road doesn't just wreck them too.
Could be very cool with proper design, but this clearly isn't it from a mechanical standpoint and we didn't really get to see if the SW was any good with how short lived it was.
@@colinmetzger6755 we would be able to see more tho if it wasn’t so bad mechanically
Ok...that's hilarious 🤣🤣🤣 I saw this video when it came out they're going back and watching you guys cracked up again makes me laugh out loud
I love rewatching this video, that car is such a mess 😂 and the laughter is too damn funny 🤣
Xmaxx: I HAVE THE FASTEST TRANSMISSION FOR FAST JUMPS!
Hybrid No-gear car: Hold my motors...
This is probably the hardest your videos have made me laugh. I can't imagine they actually tested this car before they shipped them. First problem is a car that looks like it was designed to be a 100+ mph car has unbelted tires instead of belted or foamies. On top of that, the suspension parts look like they are made from saltine crackers. The power train looks serious though. How did they expect a paper mache suspension setup to hold down all that power?
Seeing this video posted has put a smile on my face after the shitty day I’ve had, thank you so much kev for everything you do and the smiles you put on everyone’s faces. Whenever I have a bad day and I see a new video posted it always makes it better
Problem is it's only made for the basketball court 😂
Wow glad that wasn't my money lol. Looked so smooth and quite. Well... until it self destructed.
Out of all the crashes I’ve seen on your channel, that’s honestly the most entertaining one I’ve seen 😂😂😂
Absolutely amazing that’s the latest technology. Four wheel brakes everything awesome about having the motors in the wheels
Four wheel breaks (fixed it for you). 😁
Can I mention? The wheel that fell off was the same one he took off and tighten himself 😂😂 I had to rewind and watch 2/3x just to make sure before commenting
3:41 you just had to, didn't you...
🤣🤣
Well, I just got to the end of the video aaaand....
I can think of 3 things...
Raise the shocks and fill with thicker oil...
Don't take corners above 2mile/h
Don't touch it again xD
Shocked to see wood being used, surely there is a better material for this purpose.
No way 3D printed parts will take that sort of stress, body held on with magnets, at 100mph?
Fantastic concept but looks like it was built in a shed. Cracking vid Kev.
Wood is cheap and easy to work with. Many people use wood for splitters and air dams on real cars in SCCA and NASA.
@@Cloxxki Peterbilt and kenworth use it for the floors in their trucks and Morgan uses it for the frame of their vehicles.
It is only people who wish to demonstrate their ignorance make comments like "shocked to see wood"......
The wood was the only thing that didn't fly apart on this thing.
Don't blame wood. It's a cool Material for construction.
& btw it wasn't the wood failing.
Of course people are shocked to see wood on this car, if you pay 1,5 k for a car and they use all cheap and shitty materials like wood.... Im not saying wood is bad but if it is such a thin wooden plate, it's worth nothing and has no strength... Thick wood can be strong, yall make shitty comparisons with your NASA and shit... Stfu, all of you
Looked incredible but definitely was a let down hopefully when it’s fixed it will run as good as it looks
Entertaining as always though my friend!!! 😂
Gotta love the sense of humor. I would have been pretty mad. I would be sending it back in a heap. Nothing but a shelf car. lol.
Made to be a shelf queen.
That said perhaps access to a titanium powder 3D printer and the cad files. Fully sintered, revised motors for the extra weight and it could be a decent Land Speed rig.
Most of the concept is there.
The Kiss brothers in Hungary have a lot of redevelopment to do as well as giving you a full refund. They should want the car back to evaluate what went wrong so they can use more reliable parts on their 3D printing machines. Thanks for the great video Kev. Pretty sure no one will be buying this failure of an R/C car until it's all sorted out.
Think we can appreciate how tough some of these hobby grade rc really are
Not sure that's the case. I own a few things that are crap to say the least, and they are still better than that heap.
This is not an RC...this is a beast...looks like a concept car form GranTurismo...it's fantastic 👏👏...and then you see it running and you are like....what???????🤣🤣🤣🤣
I messaged the company about this. This was the response. Respectable in my opinion for the company to take responsibility.
It was our foul, for missing the test of the final car. We started the sales too early and we were in a delay about shipping. We take the responsibility for that as our early bird customers have taken the risk to buy from a new company a new kind of car. When they ordered the first cars we informed them that they get lifetime warranty for the car because of this risk.
Kevin's car was in the first batch of production, we get parts from three different suppliers and the rim failure we think was a low quality print. We will check when the car arrives from him.
The expanding tire situation: we didn't find belted tires only for our rims, that's why we used these tires. We should have tested them with 6 cell, but as I mentioned the final testtests were missed.
By the way we don't understand why he pulled full throttle for a three wheeled car. In the first case, there seemed to be some fundamental flaw in the car. After the remained wheels were explode, we think they hit the surrounding parts and caused so much damage.
Next week we will get our new wheels, we will test GRP factory wheels with belted tires and we made adjustments on the bottom plate, for more wheel clearance on cornering. Right now we think that these steps will solve the problems. On our prototype car the weaker quality printed parts lasted longer than these. But we didn't tested the car on three wheels...
We will publish our latest test asap and send the replacement parts for the customers.
That company really had some balls to send you a car that’s damn near totally 3-D printed. What the hell did they think was gonna happen and they knew you was gonna make a video. The design, if made from quality parts looks awesome though.
@@Cloxxki thats nuts
Did they send you that thing free of charge as a youtube promotion?
I hoped they liked their 'promotion video'😂😂😂
That's absolutely hysterical I have never seen a remote control car fall apart that easily
LOOKS 100%
SPEED 100%
DURABILITY -5%
SELF DESTRUCT CAPABILITY 100%
Did they never bother to drive one before selling it? These seemed to be some pretty immediate issues. Imagine what issues would pop up later.
Yeah, on a treadmill...
I recognize those start up tones. Those are BLHeli escs. Those motors look like GARTT ML5010s which are a really cheap brand of drone motors. You'd think for the price of this thing they'd use a good brand like T-Motor or Brotherhobby.
Or molded plastic parts, or maybe CNC machined, but not this weak 3d printed stuff...
That's insanely cool... shame it disintegrated like it did..
The shocks look like amazon specials?
Absolutely no judgement here, Doesn't Kevin look like he may have enjoyed a little bit of the electric lettuce? 😆 Sick car. 😊
How did they not test this? When you see this fall apart so easily there's no way they ran multiple packs through it during development..Did they just like the look and go sweet on to the market we go?
It's still in development. Parts are 3d printed.
@@zqzj and they market it at 1500 for you to test it for them?
@@zqzj Then why are they selling it to people then?
The only video of it on their website shows it running fairly slowly on a glass-smooth sports hall floor. So it probably hasn't ever been tested on tarmac, never mind Kev's local block-paved car park.
Good to see everyone laughing and having fun...Kevin you are such a gem! God Bless You!
Damn! I really wanted to see that thing go. It's look really really fast
I’m pretty sure this car shut down the entire company.
Seems that way, none of their links work anymore.
Yep bankrupt in May 2023
