To be fair. It wasn't just a little rollover that took that back wheel off. It was a tumble wumble at 65 mph.

Ya true

Yeah fair play Kev - to run double voltage and not strip any gears means its durable i reckon

Considering no manufacturer uses 1/9th scale, this is far closer to 1/8th than 1/10th. So justified IMO. Also Cen made this as a rally racer. It certainly isn’t an extreme basher. So considering that, I think Cen did a good job engineering this for durability - especially the drive train (besides the dinky servo arm perhaps). If anything this video makes me want one.

Just as a reminder: The Ford Puma, which this model is based on, is actually a small compact car. So I think the scale probably fits very well. Anyway, still a good and fun video.

Good point. In my head the components are part of the scale. 8th scale racing is 4S, so a car that cant take 4S just ain't 8th scale in my book.

@KevinTalbotTV I've noticed an error recently with your descriptions about suspension types. One wishbone on bottom with links above is considered a multi-link suspension. When a car/ truck has a wishbone below and above hub, that is double wishbone. Thanks for sharing your hard work! 👍

kevin, you are one rc demolator, I love it when you push it past the limit of normality

The 4s set up with the new servo looked like the ideal spec.

The Max10 can take 4s anyway! Maybe CEN does not want the average rtr-buyer to use it like this, as it is too fast and needs some additional cooling... 😊

Man its always so cool watching your videos, makes me think of a day I can afford an rc like these

Invest in a soda factory, kev 😂😂😂

Cen racing has always made amazing RC cars. I still have mine from 2004

4S looks perfect for this thing. Handles like a beast.

OMG! The centrifugal forces involved were -economical- er....astronomical (all in miniature of course) the way those tyres expanded into orbit!

Puma looks beautiful

Yeah , this car has some serious potential Kev‼️

I actually really like the looks of this, it would be awesome in a true! 8th scale nitro 🤌

Bella solo esteticamente!! Per il resto niente di che🤗 Complimenti per. I video sempre a 360 gradi🤚

Steering servo & slight power increase is all it really needs..no point doubling it

Модель действительно неплохая, раз выдержала 6s и твои покатушки😂

have a great new year kev

So funny 😂 my shock on my big rock blew off and I used the same baking soda and super glue technique and it works really good 👍🏽

Wow that thing pulls really straight out of the box.

just bought my first rc car in well over a decade, (rofun baja 5b) this is gonna be so much fun :D

@6:19 Kev goes mad scientist

Redfin should have CA Kicker which does the same thing as baking soda just a little cleaner. I use it for field repairs of foam rc planes.

that superglue and baking soda fix was epic 😂

Love the jx servos they are awesome have had one in my 1/8th rc for a while after seeing them in the videos deffo best budget servo u can get plenty of power and speed

That's awesome dude, & you got some great shots in of what that thing can do👍

The Cen Puma Rally Car looks spot on it also took some Kev punishment i am quite impressed with it

Que mudança louca,chegou a abrir o pneu de tanto forte que ficou!

I once had a bottle of tire glue split open when I was squeezing all over my hands😂

I find it funny how you say double wishbone suspension when most of the time its just a single A arm 😅😅 i still like your vids kev, happy new year and keep up the good stuff!

Wow I'm impressed! Looks like 4S is the sweet spot!

Happy New year Kevin!! Thanks for the Outstanding content man!!

One thing about the CA glue and powder. The strength depends a LOT of the CA glue you're using. I found the dollar store CA isn't that strong meanwhile Zap a Gap is incredibly strong. Same as JB Weld instant glue. Edit: your repair looks like Frosty the Snowman had his way with the steering horn hahahaha

I'm sat in my workshop wind is howling around me feel ya brother 👍

I think it was really impressive especially for being pushed way outside of its recommended limits

The 6S also gave double the destruction!

I have the Ken Block version which i run mostly on 2s as it is alot easier to controle on 3s it is a beast. You should add a gyro to it that helps alot

Glad you tested this car, off my list now😂

It appeared to behave incredibly SCALE, even at 3S. It's not supposed to be a speed runner, but a scale replica (as best as you could get performance-wise). It'd be a hoot on dirt, I'd imagine.

Funnily enough I bought one of these 2 weeks ago and it’s the most fun I’ve had in a while, had more fun with this than I did with a 6s mt8 or a 6s kraton, love it 😅

Have to watch this when I’m home from work looking forward to it

Impressive that it handles the double voltage so well.

I reckon 4s would be the sweet spot for this.

Another awesome vid to kickstart the morning of rc tinkering! by the way For quick repairs on very light duty things baking soda is ok, but using a strong fibre like a chux cloth or even paper towel works far better! Even rigid granules like q bond filling powder’s are great to have around! Even clean sand or similar can basically make concrete with ca for a rock like structure! But for high stress plastics like that braided fishing line combined with a fabric and super glue can make a reinforced joint far stronger than any powder! Bit different with bi carbonate as it can end up porous and overall doesn’t have great strength compared with a fibre, it’s great working with balsa though! I should add that the method of using powder is far easier as the other methods require techniques similar to working with fibreglass. Another edit-that rear wing and soft suspension are hilarious for trying to get speed lol needs more spring less wing!

Along with mini V8 engines I believe you can find mini gearboxes. It would be so cool to see a car like the Arrma infraction with the V8 and an actual transmission attached. If you can get that going I'm sure it will be one of your best videos yet. Also, happy new year!

This is extremely difficult and time consuming

Been looking forward to this one

U should take the rear wing off for a speed run on 6s , the rear squats very hard with the wing so lifts front

Something to do with the crash I think is it squatting down and getting air under it or it could just be wheelies

Another great video Kev. Keep up the good work..

I think this rc car is decent, but.. Closer in size to 1/8th scale really 👍👍

That company might be worth looking into for another candidate for tires for your speed run car. The rubber seemed to stay together well, just a matter of getting a good glue bond to the rims and the tires ballooning. Would be great if they had some belted tires with that rubber compound. Great video as always!

Love the content been watching for a while but only just remembered to subscribe lol entered the raff too always happy to support cool creators ❤❤

love your vids kevin keep it up man your convincing me to get one

You defo improved that car when it was on 4s and with a new servo

Happy New Year 🎉🎉 Kevin

If it's not 1/8 scale, it shouldn't be sold as 1/8. Pretty simple. Good job calling them out.

Hey Kev your videos got me into Rc I love your videos where you just have fun and don’t get all serious about the hobby I have a similar idea if your having fun no one should judge

Seems like a really nice rig, love the body.

Damn, that car really looks good. I might need one of thems. But agreed, it's 10th scale.

Kevin your videos are outstanding

Yooo when Kevin uploads I got to watch because he’s just an amazing person 🧍‍♂️

Cool, was looking for a better servo for my Puma 👍👍

I’ve been asking for a really car in your comments now finally I did a show of it😅😅😅😂

Happy New Year Kev I have to say 1/10 scale but looks nice i

@KevinTalbotTV we need a comparison video of the regular Xmaxx and the new Xmaxx ultimate or just a Xmaxx ultimate unboxing, bashing, then what you think about it in the end

Reminds me of a couple of old buggy racers I had when I was growing up, but this has one thing they didn't (until I upgraded it) and that is metal gears. Even bone stock this did relatively well I'd say, but also agree that the scaling is a bit underwhelming given they didn't really give it the 1/8 scale beef to certain parts.

Dude you are properly crazy, I wish I had the money to check the limits of everything..Great content everytime

I've never bought a raffle ticket before but boy do I want one of his RC cars

Was looking forward to seeing this vid and to know wot u thought as I’ve got one of these. Why over volt and blow it up. It’s absolutely fine and pretty quick standard. Only thing I changed so far was I put a dumborc on it with gyro. My bad udidn’t blow it up. It really doesn’t need 6s tho

Sounds very peppy. Interesting sound in this one!

The suspension and damper may not be the best, but i love the optic how it works. 🙂

Yes, not a 1/8th and not a 1/10th. BUT, the basis of a bloody good basher/ car as 1/9th yes too. BRILLIANT TEST Kevin. 👏👏👏 Question is, do we need a 1/9th!!!

So much torque the chasis twisted coming off the line

On the subject of Savox servos, just ripped one out of my Typhon TLR because I hated how loud the damn things are.

10:58 I've done this on a cracked swing arm and it held for ages, it finally broke into in a different spot....

That’s powerful Kev

Ow yeah kev the glue and baking soda really works even on materials that are hard to glue and it holds But it can get fragile when its cold. And the plastic on this car looks really weak

This seems to be half way to a really wonderful product

I love the content keep up the great work.

That car did well with the higher battery’s and speed

That's a cracking looking rc car

Not bad out of the box for 3s. My modded traxxas rally gets about 55pm on 3s
