Good for you Kevin! I've never seen a car self-destruct like that (other than my Ford Fiesta) which I traded for an Outback. What a paradigm shift in quality!

Best thing about your channel is that you show everything & you are brutally honest whether it is good or bad, never change that, your channel helped me pick my RC car & I bet you have helped alot of others as well pick theirs

Hub motors make so much sense, I feel like sticking a drone 4-in-1 esc with 4 hub motors in an RC car would be great with potential for cool things like torque vectoring, tank steering, and front/rear bias tuning.

Always an amazing video Kev! And it sucks to the mammoth won't be sent out to KZreadrs anymore but there are a lot of companies that won't send their stuff out to KZreadrs like yourself people who actually give honest opinions you can find a good review video on any model of RC truck or car because most of the time somebody is paid by the company to say good things I'm glad I am subscribed to your channel because again you're truthful and that means a lot in my book

I was shocked by the review on the MT8 after hearing/seeing so much good about the MT10. It was reassuring, and quite honestly, a relief to see you still give strong props to the MT10 on this video. That is where my money was/is soon headed, for my first rc.

It's a great reflection on Kev, two products from the same manufacturer, one he loves, the other he hates, no brand loyalty just speaks as he finds

After my experiences with the "NEW" HPI Savage X 4.6 I'm convinced that it's just a load of parts that were left lying around and slapped together for the new owners of HPI to try and get HPI out of its financial problems as quick as possible. Mine had no quality control what so ever so I sent it back. I've been into RC for a long time and I have never had such a terrible experience with an RC as I did with that "NEW" Savage, I honestly wish I'd bought a decent used one.

I have to agree with you about the quality of the new Savages, they suck which I hate saying. I have 13 of them in total and the old models are built of far superior quality materials and stand up to bashing alot better then the newer models. HPI are now just a shadow of the kings of RC they used to be. They need to sort there act out or will end up going under again.

That 3d printed speed car was defiantly a funny video to watch, although it is a shame that a $1600 prototype disintegrated immediately, The concept is good, but it shouldn't have costed $1600 for people to test it. Hopefully the revised production model is durable enough to used under normal circumstances.

Enjoyed That Video Kevin 😊👍

So I have to say that the motor on the video for the savage, you didn't even hit peak rpm to even have the need to shift gears. Also, you can adjust the shift points. There is no "perfect" setting for the shift points. It's all based on rpm.

Watching the mammuth self detonate was truly one of the highlights of 2022 on this channel

TRAXXAS 8s has been my favorite, which I learned from Kevin and I cannot think him enough for the awesome information and incredible videos.

For a moment I thought Richard Hammond was testing RC cars then🤣

Had an HPI Bullet MT Flux back in 2013 and it sort of seemed like the chrysler of rc cars, fast but broke super easy, was made out of chinsey plastic and could never find parts for them. It was fun but it still sucked. Have a buddy who has that same HPI Nitro and nothing but issues. We go out to rip, and he works on his for 30 mins then breaks it on a 3 inch jump, i throw down my slash 4x4 ultimate and bounce off everything and keep rippin for hours

I respect you for being loyal

everyone has a different experience! the best rc is which ever puts the biggest smile on your face and that is different for everybody!

I have the old SavageXL, it does shift but you need to tune the engine really well for it to hit a good RPM and, its been a while, but I remember that I had to open the transmission, not just use the screw, to get it to shift smoother. Havent touched it in year, revised the engine last year (was totally gunked up and stuck) and used it, shifted perfectly. Its all about tuning and loosen the tranny inside and not just the screw.

I used to have a slash 2wd and they're really nice. I know you don't like 2wd but the Traxxas 2wd slash is honestly a very nice car and I'd like to see one on the channel even just a unboxing and your opinion of one would be amazing

"The best rc car is whichever rc car puts the biggest smile on your face" Words to live by.

Kev's videos allways best

Again, you make my day with mentioning the Mammuth Stealth 😀. Mammuth definitely lost their sense of direction....

Awesome 👍 as always 🤠😊

The mammoth was an epic video and the fact that there not willing to send it back means its quite simply a money trap and a load of crap put together rather nicely so its officially the best visual of dog waste we've ever seen only the poh wouldn't have spread pieces of itself quite as well as the car did so on that bombshell game over 👏

Definitely called “stealth” for a reason, you’ll never see one working 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

For me as a person who loves RC cars I am very interested in your videos. I know you take your RC cars to the limit, and bash them way harder then I do. However I know if the RC can make it with you then I am in good shape. You provide a lot of knowledge and tips on how to improve RC cars to make them as reliable as possible. This all means a lot to me. If the company has fixed all the issues with their RC car they should send you another one to show how the improvements have gone. It’s ok for a company to send items to people for a durability test and if it fails that ok. However for a consumer of high end RC cars I need to see this car run before I ever consider purchasing one. Kevin, thank you for your hard work and all the effort you put into making these videos.

HPI has lost a lot of ground. For instance, about a year ago I bought the Maverick Quantum XT Flux and it was a disappointment out of the box. As it stands now, it's not too bad, but I've had to upgrade and/or replace and modify almost every part in it! High suck factor.

I Love your Videos they are so good

Kevin Talbot Please make more fun and enjoyable videos this year. And be healthy and happy. Happy New Year~😄❤👍👍👍

Kevin: This is a shitty product! Company: We'll take care of it. Kevin: How's it going? Company: What car.

Great video again Kevin, I have multiple Arrmas 8s cars and a Traxxas X-maxx. Both brand are best in there own way. In my opinion for bashing in the woods Arrma is the way to go. But on tarmac the Armma is to heavy and bends easy. Traxxas is in my opinion better on tarmac than for bashing in sand and the woods.

Speaking if hooning around, RIP KEN BLOCK!

Thanks for messing with and crashing the rc cars for us! Very fun and entertaining to watch but a headache and sometimes expensive to fix. salute!

So they built that stealth out of 3D prints and off the shelf parts, gingerly put it in a box without ever actually testing it and sent it out for review to a notoriously destructive KZreadr? These people would feed a dog chicken bones.

Just want to say thanks for your honesty

I think you’ve been more than fair Kev. I agree about the Mammuth as a concept. It could be opening the door to a lot of possibilities for speed and traction control. I think they chose poor methods of manufacturing though. Needs more development and injection moulded plastics.

The best rc puts a smile on your face. And when the wheels fell off the stealth, many people were laughing.

Having hub motors comes with a lot of problems. There's a reason (actually a lot) noone uses hub motors. The weight of the motor introduces high inertia, so the hubs get a lot more punishment on every bump. And it makes the suspension react more sluggish. So the vehicle becomes unstable on anything that isn't silky smooth.

@kiwi8054

It would probably be better off having the motors at the center where there still 4 motors but you have a drives haft to the actual wheel , that would get rid of the unsprung weight and probably make it a lot better

In fact, even teslas actually have two motors with driveshafts to them to minimize unsprung mass. also, due to the gyroscopic effect, even with good steering, it would be pretty hard to turn wheels. Especially combined with hard suspension and many of the parts made from 3D printed plastic😆😆
