2 GIANT motors in RC Car, World speed record attempt 

177 is AWESOME!! that wheel won't come off with the 6 lug hub for sure!! can't wait to see the next pass!!!!

I gotta say i really love and appreciate how kev fits all the carnage into a single video, not making us wait weeks for a second part like some other youtubers. and secondly, i am mindblown by how much power those motors have. their ability to rip through those wheels at 170mph is crazy

3 years into this, you got this bro!

I am totally impressed with your success, Kevin! Your hard work has truly paid off!! I wish I had the tenacity you and Raz have. I get discouraged after 3 attempts. I don't give up but my drive takes a deep dive afterwards. Much respect to you sir.

177mph, I think that's pretty impressive. It's all relative. Fastest car I have is my X-01, and I've never had that at full tilt. Racking my brain to be honest to find a place I safely can get it up to speed. Fun vid as always.

Next episode Kevin puts a Tesla motor into a RC car to beat the world speed record..................

That thing is a beast, If Kev ever gets full power before crossing the traps I think he has a chance at the record or at least brake 200mph 🤞 hehe

Really sorry it took a tumble, keep leaning forward Kevin. I know you will get there.

Hi Kev! Bought a UDR because of you, love your stuff! Cheers from Poole!

Слопами не описать на сколько крутая модел получилась! А сколько их на заднем плане это просто нечто!!!

Those 70mm motors, are awesome 💯

This car will hit massive numbers if you can get a clean run at it, great to meet you Kev 👌👍

Amazing as usual Kev. A mill and a lathe is definitely what you need to alter these parts, dear santa 😂

good luck n IOM move, it looks like Pembrokeshire :) have you thought about getting the wheels, shafts, shaft housings balanced? I think it may help stability, oh, and you need to test the tyres at whatever rpm is 250kmh ;)

Kev just went "more powah" and the wheel said i'm out 😂

The Quality Engineering part made me laugh for hours 😂😂😂😂😂

I’ve been watching for years but only drop in every now and then as cars are not my hobby. But what you do pushing the limits is great to see. The continuing development in RC speed records is fascinating!

You need to do some wheel/tyre testing in the lab at the RPMs expected to find best products. Build a jig using a spare motor

Kevin and Raz the best combo out there hope u guys can do more videos together.

Between me and a few mates, you are nicknamed carnage Kev, always wrecking something, but always in a spectacular way. Can't wait to see you get this though, if anyone can do it, it's you.

Wouldn't be a K Talbot video if the car suevived at the end. 😅 This looks like a winning combination trial and error your way to victory bro....💪👍👌👍

wow, just wow! that thing was amazing. tires literally melted off 😱

Kevvy have you ever considered buying your own CNC mill to make custom aluminium parts and/or a CNC router to custom cut carbon fibre? It would be a big learning curve of course but I could see someone like you really benefiting from doing this. OTOH you may just really prefer driving and working on cars rather than working on CAD programs which is cool too of course. Edit: Can't wait to see the speed sausage btw.

This is the kind of content I love. I heard your moving you should move to Tennessee feels like the UK just huge roads and nicer people

glad youve split all 3 up. Makes it pretty easy to follow

AWESOME build and so much more potential in it! Fix it and try again 😍😍😍

I always come for the booms😂

That sounded like an f1 car in that clip at the start!! Nice.. And you'll be back for the record I'm sure👍👍

Watch it from Malaysia, I love your idea and work

Awesome! Can't wait to see you fix it and try again! What a beast!

Gettin’ it now ! One day you’ll get that record !

yessssss it’s christmas when kev posts 😊

Super excited to see the next episode with the locking wheel nuts. Should have much better luck!!

Fantastic Vid Kevin. New to youre channel with little RC experience, but really enjoying the content. Me and my son are new learneres to the game. Watching content like this realy sparks my interest more. thanks!

Your videos are fantastic, and I'm thrilled to see the level of success you've achieved. However, I'd like to offer some constructive suggestions for improvement: 1. Consider adding a front spoiler to your car. Downforce plays a crucial role in optimizing performance, and having a front spoiler can significantly enhance stability and control. 2. Have you thought about positioning the driver's stand closer to the edge of the track? By doing so, you'll be able to drive closer to the center of the track, providing better perspectives and a more engaging experience for your viewers. 3. Similarly, try relocating the driver's stand more towards the middle of the track's length. This adjustment will allow you to capture footage of the car as it approaches and moves away from you at equal distances, creating a more balanced and visually pleasing video. 4. For added security, explore using a bearing lock washer. Attach it on the outside of the tire, between the wheel nut and the tire, with the pieces bent towards the tire. This modification should enhance the grip and potentially prevent the tire from coming undone during your drives. Keep up the excellent work, and I'm looking forward to witnessing your continuous growth and success!

I like when you a razz get together because he’s not just a yes man. If you have a ballistic idea, he’ll tell you flat out if and why it’s not going to work without discouraging you from doing it. The type of people you need around you at your level of popularity

Hope you smash that record!!!

"56 seconds ago"... well of course imma click it

crazy that there is even a little bit of parts u can salvage after crashing at like 150... Cheers to Raz for sharing his knowledge, and continuing to advance the top speed rc community

Imagine 60hp through rc diffs, you madman kev ❤❤❤❤❤

May I recommend investing in a tabletop mill and lathe. They are very handy for building/modifying parts.

The size of those EEC’s and motors it looked like you had childs hands. Ridiculous power. Sorry it didn’t work out Kevin, but next time sounds like you could reach 200mph+. Good luck and great videos as always.

Try one large vertical stabilizer like a plane, that'll help it from doing wheelies too. Short throw steering for high speeds. Aluminum wheels like land speed records bit have sharp spikes.

Awesome build. Question. What battery connectors are you using? Qs8?

Well, now you have a place to run a RC speed demon...that's one of the first things in the rc speed game... 60T pinions and 12s is easy...you will get there sooner or later. Don't forget the ROAD is the secret...everysingle else is just bolt it in and test it even those amplifiers on remote for 3km range :P

Impressive build Kev. Keep working man. You’ll get it.

It took that crash remarkably well 😅 you got this!!

Wow that's incredible power! Better & better each time and you'll have this Kev. Alloy or carbon wheels 🤔

You will do it! It's a very nice project ! Can't wait the next episode 😅

I can't wait for the 250mph video it's gonna be awesome

I was really like fingers crossed hoping it wil do Like 3 runs that car looked so damn stable going past Btw drives me absolute crazy that your not getting the record I want you to have it as your going into it just with the attitude of it fits it sits Love that you don’t want a perfectly machined car and so on

That sounding epic on the fly by 🔥🔥🔥

Maybe its time for some sort of light weight aluminum 17mm hex rims so they don't spin the hexes great run Kev!!

I've always liked your videos becau you do different styles. Missing some trail rides for sure but SBG amd Harley got that covered. Cheers.. maybe one one day we all can drink the same water

Fast boats flip over backwards when the air gets under them. The underside of these cars is like a sheet of plywood. Need to make these car bodies more like airplanes so the air doesn't lift them up. Mount the batteries on their edges or over the axles or put them in the front or back. Cut out or remove all that flat lifting surface from under the car or vent it so there is no lifting area. That body shell might be acting like a parachute if any air is getting inside the car. After the run; it might be an oven in there. Open up the back of the shell?

I work with carbon fiber to the point where you can smell it. Good recommendation I have is have a vacuum with a HEPA filter (Bosch makes a good one) but shut off auto filter clean so you don’t puncture the filter bag. Have the vacuum right next to where you’re grinding. As close as you can. Keeps 99% of it from getting in to your skin and your lungs. If it does get in to your skin or lungs, it’ll dissolve within 4-6 hours

Your gonna smash that record and people should smash that bell so they don't miss it

Raz- BYE! Kev- BYE!! 😂

I'm supper impressed with this setup great job Kevin..... 🎉

World's biggest motor for rc but still crazy cool love your videos

This looks like the most fun rc ever!!!!! I would love to build speed cars

I see Kevin and some contraption of a car? I click dangit. 🔥🔥🔥🤠🤘🏽

Don't give up, I know it's always an expensive crash. But you're close to that speed title. 👍

Always a good day when kev posts

I'd hate to do all that work for a single run, but a fun run it is lol

Thanks for the soda can comparaison because fish eye lens does not make it justice!!! 😱

Very neat bit of chamfering there fellow.

Great vid keep it up!!!

Come in Kev you can do it! That speed sausage will be ludicrous lol 😂 cannot wait to see what it does.

Another awesome video thanks Kevin

Hello Kevin, your vibe is contagious 😁… I wanted to ask about your experience with the combo you are using (max4) since I tried a HW max4 and after the 3th use it burned , I was using OTA but wasn’t able to read data after the damage. The car max speed was 145 mph . Arrma limitless single motor / open wheels.

That was still awesome even tho you didn't hit speed goal!

177 that is unbelievable and with all that mass from the lipos and the Motors and ESCS the Car must be 10 mabe 15 pounds that is remarkable Good job 👍🏁

kev will go for the win, lets hope for no tumble wumbles

It’s about time. Geez, you got me with the first video three months ago

That’s ok! You can fix and make anything run fast no matter the condition 💪🏽

I'm just thinking out loud but.... do they make carbonfiber or aluminum rims?, might be stronger. I don't know if this would even work but not cutting open the front wheel opening would reduce wind drag but making steering more difficult is assume but might work? Anyway love the videos. Keep working on that record you will get it.

Kev you got this you worked at this for three year and your almost there don’t stop

Cannot wait for the next run kev. 💯

That was nuts dude! Awesome 👏

Raz+Kevin is a match made in heaven.

Seem like there needs to be some innovation tire wise since they're often an issue in these speed runs.

What’s up bro these videos that you make I just can’t believe that you can put so much thing on just one RC car. I never even know you could do that but I love watching your contacts.

I wonder how alloy wheels would do for speed runs. I think the hubs wouldn't strip out, im not sure if it would do anything with weight, if it keeps the wheels on the car i think the pris would outweigh the cons.

you'd be surprised how fast you can clean up rough cuts with a good quality file, really up the fit and finish of your mods, sometimes even prevent problems like taking too much material away or burrs cutting wires on you

Nice video! Thanks for sharing!

these videos are insane

Please swap one of those 12v Dewalt impact drivers for a Dewalt Xtreme DCF601 screwdriver and give it a try. Same batteries, but it’s a screwdriver with a clutch. It has a 1/4 quick release just like the impacts. For disassembly doesn’t matter as much. For assembly you can set the clutch to tighten them all to the torque you need. IMO one of the best assembly tools for larger RC’s or just stuff around the house in general.

My guess is that the foams are way past their limit on these cars as the centrifugal forces on these tiny wheels must be enormous. So either use larger wheels or different wheel/tire technologies like metal wheels and belted rubber tires. A wild suggestion: why not using timing belts? They come with nylon inside and won't stretch and the outer material can be rubber afaik. E.g.: a 40mm wide 480mm belt gives a tire diameter of ~15cm. The wheel would be essentially one large pulley and you could glue the belt to it. They might be too slippery though...

I cant wait to see you fix that up and rip with it again. That thing has major potential. Ive got the speedrun bug myself right now. Working on a castle 2028 1700kv limitless v2. Goal is 160mph for now.

Silly idea maybe but, what about maybe mostly forgetting about steering with the wheels and making Magnesium, Aluminium or even steel wheels? All narrow, front with a few tiny grooves machined around to help steer a little, rear with something like knurling to hopefully give them enough traction and fitting servos to fins to do most of the steering once at speed maybe? I'm thinking more of a vertical fin at the front but, for reasons I don't fully understand, aircraft almost all have the rudder behind so, maybe a bit of a tail with one there??? Something more to 'influence' it rather than force it around possibly.

"Next to a soda can" ... yee haw 😂

Can’t wait for the sausage run, good luck 🤞

That was awesome. Have you ever thought about doing a King Sling truck or the new losi motorcycle?

This is a man who isn’t afraid of a bit of power 💥😂 Brilliant video as always, Kev!

Just program the "perfect pass" in the radio. Then you have full control over the curve right in your hands on the startline

Hi Kevin I’ve been watching for a really long time and I love your videos

Kevin I know how to help you beat the speed record. In the electric off road arena we call it a electric motor driven 2 speed transmission - Run two motors and run one motor on a very low gear to get it up to speed and then switch that motor off and turn on the other motor with a very very tall gear on it. Obviously couldn’t run them at the same time but running one at a time gearing it up should help it get up to speed without it flying apart. You could have a servo just hit a transfer switch and have it a three pole switch so that when the switch moves it HAS to shut the motor off before putting power to the other one. This way you can save weight running one battery and one speed controller - because all the two motors is doing with the same gear is getting power to really tall gears

Replace the shocks with an adjustable link. It needs to be ridged there are too many g forces for a shock to work properly

Game over????? Game Starts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good Luck!!!
