Kev, I’ve been watching you for years but a go through phases of using RC cars. After watching your videos daily again, you’ve inspired me to get back into the hobby and I bought myself the new FTX Rokatan which I love. Thank you for all of your amazing videos and inspiring me to get back into the hobby

I knew ken wouldnt like it but if you stiffen the ass end just a little and then put some spacers on top of the tie rod ends to fix the steering geometry it handles pretty good. Locking the rear differential also helps keep it straight and slid around a little more. Vitavon makes a sway bar that turns the fake sway bar into a real on that work but the stock one is pretty bad it is infont of the rear shocks putting a lot of leverage on it. Ik kev probably wont see this but if anyone still wants one then thats how you can make them 10x better

Morning Kevin!🤓 Really tough to beat Traxxas! Looks like Steven has the right idea! A righteous spangkin and another great video!

Thanks Kevin ! For helping my inthusiasum and giving me a more positive attitude .

Hey Kev, Avid Subscriber here, bumped into your vids in the recommendations on another vid a fair few years ago, and with me being 40plus in years I must admit that during the first few videos I was desperately trying to find faults and enough of them to turn me off watching and enjoying your content. But being as your content is always very watchable and really put together well, the more I watched the more I liked. 3 years ago after 30odd years I bought my first RC after the Wild Willy and Mud Blaster in the 80s, soon as you first featured the petrol Baja's I was in. Now a 5b Rovan, a 5b Taylor/RCmax, Losi 5t, and now just gonna start a 80cc Raminator and on completion I'll be easily around £15000 in, but loved every minute of the hobby, Driving/Repairing/Upgrading/Testing/Experimenting, love it all, only bit I don't like is the Mrs face when another parcel lands at my door, but at least while that happens I'm somewhere working so it a auto cool off period. Love you channel and look forward to notifications telling me you've dropped another banger. I always look out for you when I'm filling up at petrol station and when I call in Redfin when I'm down that way! Keep it all up Kev and thanks for hours upon hours of unrivalled entertainment!!!

Despite looking similar in design at first glance they are actually scale versions of entirely different types of off road racing the hammer Rey is supposed to be a king of the hammers scaler(mix between Baja racing rock bouncing and rock crawling) and the udr is just a driving model of the traxxas trophy truck

They should know better and start thriving for excellence. Because of Kevin, many manufacturers have made their cars much more reliable. We need more people like him to smash them to bits so manufacturers stop building junk. Kevin is a Legend and a National Treasure for our hobby. I saved so much money because of Kevin. I knew when I bought an RC car that he recommends it was going to be reliable and worth the money.

Great video kev. I live near the skatepark where you film and bought an Arrma Granite V3 BLX after watching you and the crew film whilst walking my dog. Thanks for getting me into this brilliant hobby. I'm absolutely hooked now 👍

I love how much Energy kev has when he makes his videos.

Kev, IMO the UDR looks better and is much more realistic when driving in slow motion. I'm a big fan of Losi, I just think they could have done much better. On a positive note, you make them all look good, and always keep it entertaining. Thanks for always being real with reviews and not selling out for free products. You're a Legend!

I tried the drywall tape and shoe goo trick and it works like a charm!

You should open an rc park with a skatepark and a race track. Love the videos, much love from Louisiana

Absolutely epic! Tumble wumble followed by footage 🦶! Love 💗 it!

It certainly looks sweet. Nice styling etc. It looked great in slow mo . Does look a bit limited in what it can do compared to some of your other stuff Kev . Looking forward to seeing 8s max It right out

That gopro shot from inside the cab was 👌

I remember when my pet companion bird died not long ago and we would both watch your videos while he was on my shoulder am just so grateful that you the amazing Kevin Talbot cheered me up with your videos and kept me going even when days got harder and harder

Love the hammer rey but you have to do a lot of tuning to get it to feel right. I recommend adjusting the rear links so that the upper links have less link separation from the bottom links. Also recommend replacing the rear sway bar with the vitavon sway bar. Unfortunately out of the box, not rhe greatest but with some modding this thing is a beast.

Yes your back again I'm waiting for your latest vids love ur vids and god bless and stay safe 😀😊

Disappointed that Losi took a 1/10 platform and stretched it out to 1/8-1/7 size. The narrow track relative to the wheelbase doesn't help either, but I guess that keeps it scale to the real truck. It does look good though as a scale version of Currie's Trophy Jeep.

Very cool RC pre runner.

Kudos to Kevin , You are funny and kind , xx

I really like those incar shots, they was really cool. It felt like I was really in the car.

I like how Kev includes otheres in his hobby

Awesome footage!!!

Don’t stop making RC related vids Kevin they’re always awsome 👍 even when you get super famous with the monster truck I hope you’ll still do this stuff too

Definitely not a basher,specifically designed to rip around rugged terrain and small jumps. If you're into that get one,if you're a basher the money is better spent on an 1/8 truck or truggy.

I have a UDR and I was doing some research into it and it seems to me that Traxxas and Tamiya teamed up on this one if you dig deep. It makes me wonder what Tamiya did and if maybe they built the chassis I will dig back into what I found out and try to send a link on this post if anyone else knows any more please let me know I’m curious. I love The UDR it is a great rig for skill realism

I love in every vid he always says “what do you reken guys? I reken it looks ABSOLUTELY EPIC!”

Awesome video dude and great gift, thank you very much, it’s already changed a bit 👍

You said it Kev. "Bang-goodish"

I never thought I'd say this, but after watching that vid, I would say UDR all day. I expected more from Losi, but that thing is a brick, all around. The UDR is the only Traxxas I'd ever consider owning.

It seems too narrow I think with a few mods to make it wider and a faster motor it could have some potential!

Always a great day when kev uploas video

Keen to see what Steven does with it.

hey kevin, you should look into getting the traxxas trx-4 w/ traxx

Nice, been watching you for quite a while now

I have the OG Rock Rey, and it's still my favorite RC car, but I've had a completely different experience with mine. They seem to have fixed every "issue" it had, and lengthened the wheelbase, but by doing so, they've seem to have made it too heavy and now it's seemingly too underpowered, or at least too geared down to be fun. The Rock Rey I have by comparison, still being 3S, feels light and powerful, mine is geared up from stock, and currently hits at least 50mph, but it was still much faster than what this seems to be capable of stock. I for instance have the ability to backflip it very easily, and mine has a locked rear diff, which gives it incredible hill climb capabilities and extremely enjoyable handling characteristics off road. You also broke that weird rear mounted sway bar, and to my knowledge it's fake, which is dumb, I can't believe they actually just didn't make it functional, there is however a 2nd or rather real sway bar, deeper in the chassis, and my Rock Rey only has that one, it's well protected and I've yet to brake it. All in all I'm disappointed they've changed it so much, I've driven the 6s UDR, and right now, my geared up Rock Rey Bind and Drive, feels like a lifted lighter UDR, that's just on larger wheels and while it's less stable at speed, it's far more lively off road and better at jumps and flips etc. Ultimately I suggest you gear yours up, and maybe lock that rear diff, it should be a fun car if you can get it to perform better, hopefully yours is just hiding it's potential. Edit: I also remembered something, mine had some form of steering stabilization thing, I think it was called AVC in the receiver, and that limited the throttle as well messed with the steering, I turned that off, made sure the ESC was at full punch and braking settings, and that fixed all the weird power cutting that I experienced when mine was new. IDK if this new one has any of it, but worth a shot.

Kev can you put a 6s motor in it I love this one more like How the suspension travels

OMG!!! 8s?!?! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 I’m DEFINITELY going to be waiting for that one
