YES ❤. I’ve really missed these videos. So happy you are releasing more regular videos. Like see you out with the crew bashing with a new car.

Yeah he has released like four in the last week and a half so he’s killing it and I’m sure there’s one coming up on the Pro Moto 😂. Background .

Lovely to see an amazing video about friends having fun with rc cars! Rather than Max just destroying everything thing!

So refreshing to get another Kevin Talbot video and no annoying Max to ruin said video.

Good to see Claire and Ian. Glad they’re doing good.

I wasn’t sure about these at the start but seeing all the reviews of them, they didn’t seem bad for the money. A buddy and me picked one up and we think they are great for such a basic truck and the low price. Gonna stick a mild brushless system in them and make just a good tame basher

The lunchbox got me into RC 35 or so years ago. Hopefully the Gorgon can do the same for kids whose families might not have a lot of money but want to get them a fun RC for the holidays.

This RC has come a long way since I worked on it at ARRMA HQ the guys did great on this, love it!

Back to the old kev and old crew this is why I started to watch and began the hobby cheers kev this is main channel content

Already pushed this beast to 76 mph Kev, and don't plan on stopping anytime soon!

This Gorgon is actually quite fun and pretty durable. great for kids to start on with its 3 positions power selection switch.

7:18 had me dying with the cut off 🤣🤣 Even funnier if you play it in 2x speed

I love this type of videos and I’m glad they’re back!

Thanks for the huge amount of content lately, Kev. Love the little Gorgon as I'm not sure if I want to get into the bashing side of things but I am keen to get into modifying and this could kill two birds with one stone.

Great video as always! It was great seeing Clair and Ian as well!

I'm quite impressed and I think for many how budget friendly and beginner it is! After seeing this I'm very tempted to get my 7 year old his first proper RC for Christmas now. 👌🏻😂 I'm also looking at it like a brushless motor and lipo will fit in it nicely in the future 😏🤣

Good to see Claires rc and ian out having fun

Hey Kev. I’d love to see you make the Gorgan brushless! I think you should put an Arrma 3s combo in it from the Vorteks blx or Senton blx. Not only do you already have a few but it’s keeping it Arrma which I feel like would be the route for most beginners.

Good to see the old crew back together!!

They use a tapered head screw on the steering servo saver so it causes the collar to break. I switched it to a flat screw. You can’t get the servo saver because they are on back order but the one that fits the Voltage, the parts will fit this one. There are two screws take out the top the screw first remove that part of the servo saver and the steering arms then remove the servo screws and the saver will come out as normal. You do not have to split the chassis.

I've seen what tapered head screws can do to cabinets, can't imagine how easily they'd split plastic. Pretty stupid

Great to see the old crew again. 👍

aaah this is Kev Talbot's RC at its best. Just a cheap car, some friends and heavy bashing. A low budget vid with lots of joy in it

Hi i have a little question. I hava a mamba x that im running in my trx and i was thinking about sticking it in my senton but i don't know any motors for 1:10 cars that are rated for 6s and i have no idea how to make sure they fit in there

Great video!!! Can't wait to see the brushless system!!

Good too see everyone, and seeing everyone have a good time.

For $140 that seems like insane value for money. Its hard to be overly critical on such an affordable machine that appears to take a decent beaten too.

Hey Kev quick question doing a dumborc on my outcast build & using a castle creations xlx2 & 2028 1100kv motor having issues getting throttle have turning have tried calibration & making sure throttle trim is at 0 . Any ideas on what it can be?

Haven’t seen the crew forever I’m happy they are on here

The Gorgon looks like a PERFECT beginners truck, even experienced RCers are loving this thing. its a replacement for the Granite Voltage, youre not gonna get solid axle and 4 link suspension for anywhere near this price unless youre talking about a FMS Max Smasher 1/18.

11:40 No, no you don't have to split open the chassis to access the servo-saver. You just remove one screw from the linkage below, 4 screws from up top to remove the servo and it's all out. Easy peasy. (I bought the kit Gorgon.)

I can’t believe Claire wasn’t the first one to realize that you could strip the Moto rider😂

My gorgon backflips like crazy, but then again im brushless. It has air control like my 4x4s surprisingly

My Wife Says “I hear that man’s voice in my dreams hahahahahahahahababababa” keep the content coming ! 😂

Decent car for a beginner and an awesome video but an amazing day out ❤

2s it first. It can do that. Go spectrum if you go brushless. Like the banter with the friends. 👍🏻

@9:35, when the pinion gear falls off or actually motor moved, and they have to push it back and retitan where are the gears on the pinion, why does the camera not show the teeth on the pinion?

@Kevin Talbot RC Do a video on the 4s Mojave next!

Reminds me of my Tamiya Lunchbox I had as a kid. RWD monster truck that was slow enough not to get destroyed every time I played with it but because it was only RWD, still fast enough to have fun with. Looks like a good balance to me.

Kinda seems like a stampede but with the motor changed in front of the rear to help with weight so I’d like to see this up against the 2wd stampede and see which one is better

Finally!! I have to look 5 hours away from the U.S. to get the most honest, unadulterated opinion. AAAAND to TRULY see its threshold for damage. Great stuff Kevin!!!!

Ohh it’s Christmas every.. oop! Too funny Kevin! Love your humor!

It's good to see Claire and Ian. And 8sSteve. Great video.

Reminds me of a 2wd Traxxas stampede mixed with an ECX Ruckus

Ive been in RC for quite a while now and I recently got myself a Armaa Gorgon, and I even stock its still awesome and great fun for its price

11:32 Cen Fiat 😍🥳👍🤩 So there was at least two 2wd cars that day 😉👍 nice!

Even having very fast rcs I really like that little truck for kicking around out in front of your house lol

I love the design I wish Arrma would make a more adult oriented version of this. Maybe 3S brushless

Hello! I wonder if this is any good to get for my first car? Is it easy to upgrade later on or will it cost me to much and i am better of getting a better one?

I've seen all of Joe's videos on his Exocaged RC channel and I would love to see you give it the brushless test.

Yes! He's back! Good job Kev!!

You should put some crazy motor and esc in it kev MORE POWER👌

Since this is a budget car, id like to see a budget brushless system in it actually. even as cheap as like a goolrc system, as thats the type of stuff someone not wanting to spend much over 200 dollars would go for

I was not expecting the car to roll and hit the camera at max speed, that jump scared me lol

Vraiment sympa pour un débutant. Hâte de voir 6s la dedans

Maybe you could do a 8s conversion with that motor out of the black car. Or burnout / donut monster truck 🛻 Clair’s back

You probably would need foam in those tires and re-glue them to rims if you do brushless motor, but its cool RIG thou..!

i really like that, you are making this type of little crazy type of videos agin👍

Love the crew videos. Fun times

hey kevin i just wanted to say that im 12 and im a huge fan of rc cars. thank you so much for all of the videos and content you put out. also thanks so much for leetiong the people have the chance of winning one of you cars that is really nice. just entered into one of them.

Dude the gears on that Gordon r 22mm wide. That's a tough truck.

Can you test out the hobbywing fusion pro it is a good 2 in 1 crawler motor i have heard and in the videos i have seen it is better than the axe system and cant wait for the mamba x conversion

Love your vids kev, but your killin me worn these raffal things.

That's so cool I love monster trucks like yours

I love the look of it but I think monster trucks are cool no matter what😂 I would see what’s the biggest lips you can fit in the battery bay then base a set up off that.

Perfect for a beginner, just like the Stampede 2wd, Rustler 2wd and Bandit. ❤

where do you get all of your rc cars and trucks?

That dude from gazza operates his controller with one hand but from the top that's actually pretty cool

Just want thank you Kev. I was having just the worst day and then I watched your video and it definitely put a smile on my face! That's what the hobby is really about. So thank you my friend !

I have an older American version, brushless destroyed the idle gear in the transmission. Had to buy the metal

It would be a good one for a kid for sure looks like.. you can make any rc fun!

For a kid upgrading from toy grade stuff this would be great. And for that too i think nimh is totally fine. No need to worry about kids burning the house down with a il configured lipo charger in their bedroom.

I got myself the ready to assemble version and the only thing I noticed was the motor ran hot

The x maxx is advertised as a monster truck it is right on the box ?

I might have to check one of these out

Does it have a full set of bearings?

I kinda want one and was thinking about putting a castle creations 1412 6400kv drag motor in it with a mamba x esc that would be a killer setup.

Deffo upgrade to brushless system that's what I've done has soon has I get it out of the box 3s to 4s on mine it's nuts over 50mph now 😳

Saw one of these in my local hobby shop the other day and it looked really impressive for the price Was waiting for a Talbot approval stamp before buying

I got one of these, the green and yellow one too. My first ever Arrma purchase. I absolutely love this thing! Sure it’s brushed and 2wd, but for me that’s what so alluring. It takes me back to the 80’s feel and look of RC cars. This thing is cheap, durable, stable, and for a brushed motor it scoots! I liked it so much I bought another Arrma RC, the Big Rock. This Gorgon I’m sure is supposed to be aimed more at the new or novice RC hobbyist. But as a guy who’s been in this hobby on and off nearly 40 years, I love the Gorgon. I drive it more than any other RC I have. Great video as always, Kev. This traxxas fanboy of the past is starting to pay much closer attention to the Arrma lineup. Mostly, because their prices across the board are in some cases much cheaper than the traxxas comparables.

Biggest motor possible for that chassis!! More powaaaa

Noah's mom making a cameo appearance 😍🤣

Definitely, try it on a 3s arrma brushless system. I think many adults, will want one to upgrade 😂😬

Such a cool truck, I would do a surpass hobby cheap system and then compare it to a hobby wing system to see which one performs better.

Or factory arrma spectrum

so when you change the motor to brushless does it need a new esc too or are there esc that run brushed and brushless because id like to see a cheap brushless upgrade for it since its made for beginners.

@MrGoat73

This will need a brushless ESC & separate receiver if you want to go brushless. The fitted ESC is brushed two wire only & has a receiver built in. I think this truck is probably best left as is, there are plenty of “relatively” cheap brushless trucks out there.

that was entertaining, gorgon is great,brushless will be fantastic 👍😀😀😀

Arrma's answer to the stampede I guess, whilst being a bit more "scale". I rate it, just needs more powerrr.

I feel like it would be hilarious if he upgraded this thing to just be an absolute speed demon

Ok Kevin don't feel up the motorcycle rider,was drink coffee 😂

I got a gorgon and done a review about 2 weeks ago and i am facing the same problem. We all as a community have experienced this problem. Let's see if we get saved by m2c or rpm or scorched parts for the poor saver.

Put a hobbywing in that fun little truck Kev

could you just glue the air holes on the tires to make realistic monster truck tires?

i actually jumped when that thing flew at the camera lmao

The gorgon is insane brushless. Put a granite wheelie bar
