If there's anything life needs MORE of, it's waffles....literal ones, lol. Oh, also, don't trust those regular-grade bearings in the motor for too long, motor bearings are a higher grade, typically, but you probably know. Really liking your eBay course...starting to see some profits.

@MAD GRUMPYMAN I'm sorry if I sounded like that, I was agreeing with you. Isn't it sad how name brand items are made in China with all the cost-cutting that comes with it, while still charging name-brand prices? At least 10+ years ago, the Chinese stuff was cheap.

A trick I learned in the military to clean wet rifles: Wash in really hot water afterwards. The retained heat in the metal/plastic will quickly evaporate most of the water leaving minimal drying.

Found your channel after being out of the RC works for about 20 years. My 3 year old just got his first basic RC plane and I started to get the itch to buy another RC car after my last one (Yokomo YR-4). Stumbled across your channel and subscribed instantly. Of my 100+ subscriptions you’re already the one I look forward to most. This channel is simply KZread done right. Well done and thanks! 👍

Very soothing video Kev. I don't have enough RC work to keep me satisfied. Came here for this.

It's always nice to see you taking care of your RCs.

I just recently bought a used brushless 4x4 slash for 40 dollars!!! Even came with a 5000 mah 3s! I had to do this same thing! It had been abused and fixing it back up to what it’s supposed to be felt good! Now it’s my daily basher! Great video! 👍🏻

I’ve been wanting a rc for a long time. I had a few when I was growing up, and I loved them. Hopefully I’ll be able to get one eventually.

Man Kevin you are the best RC Repairman! Your video will help me understand on how I can repair my RC's.

Great video to show what happens and how to prevent it 👍

Kev I love your videos and you were the reason I got into the rc hobby 4 years ago keep up the good work and can’t wait for 1 mill subs

You are the Best in our Hobby ! I always check your stuff out with great interest!

This is the video I needed! I needed specifically a Kevin talbot video on how to unfreeze bearings and where each one is

Great job Kev , I don't think I would have remembered how to put it together again ..I've learned so much from you , Thank you and keep up the great work .... Mark G ....

@KevinTalbot Clare is a true hero .... She is great for jumping in there and rescuing your Slash!

Hey Kevin! This video was a very useful tip, cuz my broth broth is thinking about getting paddle tires for his stampede 4x4, to drive across our Nana’s pond. Well just wanted to comment on the video, I’ve got the tama flu so I can’t go drive my new maxx. Well keep up the good work and have a good night! 💤

Great video Kev! My Stampede went for a swim yesterday so will be rebuilding that this week, I did go mad with the grease last rebuild though so hopefully won’t be too bad!

Another great upload Kevin 👊!!!! So gratifying to bring a rig back from the dead. Strong work. 🍻👍👍😎💪👊👊

Awesome vid Kev, I really think a lot of people get plenty of unknown knowledge out of these types of vids even though a lot of them don’t mention it , as most people like to pretend they already knew what you just did , but in reality they really didn’t but need people to think their pros and know everything ! But awesome vid and Keep up the Great Work !! 👍✌️

Kev your work shop vids are allways packed with information and tips love it, can also appreciate the time that goes into creating a wreching vid 🤔, I've driven a few Traxxas slashes but recently got a Amma Mojave have to be most durable and best handling short course 🤘

Hi Kevin thanks to your unique tip on how to remove a broken screw I the xmaxx diff . By applying heat to the screw. Works great no problem taking it out. It all because of you that I am a proud owner of thee greatest basher today the xmaxx8s . Your friend in the USA.

Hey buddy great videos, keep em rolling! , I might have a better idea then rebuilding the bearings . I take a blow dryer and fast dry it after a water run. It's not perfect but it does help prolong the bearings. Also oil filled bearings help repel the water a good bit as well.

Best music in a video award Feb. 2020 🏆 Congratulations 🍾🎈🎊🎉

Kev, I have upgraded my HBX Devastator wheels and tyres with the ones that go on the FTX Outback mini v2.0 and it now climbs up some crazy angles. It does make it look like one of those mud bog trucks you see Americans driving but the fact it now crawls much better and can climb steeper angles is just wicked. I would love to hear what you think of the upgrade and when the new shocks I've ordered for it arrive I'll post a picture on your facebook page.

Very good video kev . Well done mate

I recently built a slash 4x4 it’s been a great truck , very reliable and fast

That carlube is good stuff, i packed out my 2 scx10ii crawlers diffs with that to keep water out

Awesome rebuild video broski!

Thanks for a good wrenching video 👍

Claire is awesome! What a trooper!!

I was playing with my slash 4x4 ultimate in the rain same thing happened didn’t know what to do so I kinda stopped with the hobby but when it was fixed i absolutely loved it now it’s broken broke his Traxxas arm so now I’m going to be putting the rpm rear arm on it

Im 43 and actually what stalled me in hobby years ago the velinion esc woukd fry using in rain and close 200 to replace imagine that 170 just for esc i didnt really use computers and was raising kids so at time had take a break you guys dont know how easy cheap and accessible rc is now compared 15 yrs ago

I've used my slash 4x4 in the rain, hydroplaning on a river, and I've packed it with snow for 3 years and I've only had to buy a motor rebuild kit. I haven't completely submerged it but it's definitely been very very wet. My friend submerged his rustler 2wd and the only thing he had to replace was the brushed motor

Kevin, love the build and fix vids keep it up, just wanted to say I'm a subscriber from Ohio in the US and I have used a product called evapo rust to clean rusty parts and screws and it does an amazing job! I'm not sure if it's available directly in the UK, but you should try to find some for soaking small rusty stuff more thoroughly. I get it here at a place called harbor freight tools, but try online it would be worth it to you! Its environmentally friendly, skin friendly and not a harsh acid... try it !! Keep it up, cant wait to see mods and fixes on the Raminator! Say hello to all your friends for me!!

Love Traxxas Slash😍😍

Awesome clip 👍 Wow 6s on the velineon motor is insane! 🤩

kev is the best rc car youtuber

I love the wrenching videos! Gibbs or Zep are really good rust eating penetrating oils btw.

Nice. Another wrench video. Loved it. Shuddered a little when I saw you put Traxxas bearings back into it. I've found them a bit meh on occasions. Luckily enough for me locally I can source some slightly better grade stuff, plus here in Australia, hobbyshops charge like a wounded bull. More of these wrenching montages. Thanks for the share.

Keep up buddy,i wish you reach million subscribers

Thanks, i am not sure if i enjoy watching you destroy them or repair them more. Thanks for sharing.

I have submerged my traxxxas stampede 4x4 Vxl in lake near where I live. The motor still works. Only thing I have had to replace is the esc months later.

Nice job Mr Kev :)

I had a new brushless motor in there on a 2s battery aswell lmfao so wouldn't like to think how hard I hit the lmao post haha

Very good job.👏👏👏👍👍😱😱

Got a little tip for u kev. The bearings that go in aluminum, use a dab of anti-sieze. So if it happens that they rusty up again like that, its not such a fight to get them out. Ive destroyed knuckles tryin to get bearings out. Steel on aluminum currodes (i know its not spelled right lol).

I've been waiting for this. Hell yeah sorry i love the slash wrenching videos

Great work really informative maybe you could do similar thing with your ultimate desert racer

Hi Kevin! I'm a long time fan but don't comment much because I haven't gotten into RC yet. I'm a gun guy with an extensive LE background and a hunter/woodsman/rockhound and when it comes to protecting things from water or moisture, I know a thing or two... If you have a product over there called "Break Free CLP", which you can find here in America in many Sporting Goods Stores, I highly recommend it for use on all of your RC bearings as protection against rust! I've had many of my handguns over the years exposed to rain, falls into rivers and creeks and have had blued steel handguns get soaked and not been able to tend to them for a day or two, which is plenty of time for water to form rust on untreated metal surfaces... Metal treated with Breakfree CLP (which our Military has been using for over 40 years) protects the metal against rust for several weeks and I would expect that this product will do a good job protecting your RC bearing! Give it a try, you have nothing to lose. Another product that works well is "RemOil" that also contains teflon and offers great protection as well. I hope you see this and try this stuff because it works! I also use it on all of my fishing reels and it extends their lives, preventing wear...

Had the same happening to my UDR and what a pain that was!!! Rear axle was stuck solid, had to replace all bearings!

Keep wrenching kev love this videos. Also TUMBLE WUMBLE SHIRTS! Please

Awesome vid! Always excited to see a new upload! I have a recommendation for a dirt cheap rediculously fast RC it's called a wltoys K989. I have one and there fast durable and are a good drift car if you put drift tires on it

Love it bro 💯💪

Hi kev nice wreching again. What car grease was that for the diff cases? Does it have any weight? Is it Silicon based? And what do i have to look for to have a good grease for the cars.

Kev, my understanding is that rubber seals are better at sealing than metal shields however the metal shields privide less resistance and are better for high RPM applications.

Love it!

Great vid kev! Keep up the good work!!! You need to do a xmaxx motor in a slash!

Very useful, my Arrma senton is like this!

That happened to my offroad rc got wet and its stock its been 2 years i have still my offroad rc btw nice vid.

Love ur vids Kev

Great video

I love the wrenching vids as much as the smash em ups. =D

Kev i say get the proline brute body basically its the indestructible body for the slash 4x4 and keep the current body for a shelf queen body it

THANK YOU

Bash that body shell and get him to make you a lid for the shelf. But that body looks epic! Imagine what he would do with a shelf queen request.

Your my favourite KZreadr and u make me unboard I was saying to my mum can I get an rc car and she was like its way to expensive and it was like this Ford rc car thats £60 aha but anyway your such an inspiration

I use WD-40 white lithium grease . Used it for years and it works like a charm!

Kevin when will you bring back out the wltoys

Good vid

Nice vid

When Kev drops the chassis at 8:03 it goes to the beat of the song

I have the to real drive slash it is my absolute favorite car I use that for racing on a carpet track I would like to get the 4 wheel drive though for bashing

love rebuild vids

You should get a arrma granite 3s and review it. Please and keep up the good work.

Kev, try Corrosion X.

Where did you get your vw beetle body? Ty love your channel

Love the vids Kev hello from Michigan USA. Ps you should get an arrma senton

If your gonna be using drills on your rc cars, i would HIGHLY recommend MIP speed bits, as the TEAM C bits will over time become garbage, and start to strip screws, MIP has the best bits on the market ( This is all from experience )

I use a long bristle paint brush works great on cleaning

I love you so so much kev i have some rc cars and i have the xmaxx and some other traxxas
