4 GIANT Motors in RC Car - 1st Run (did not expect this to happen) 

That thing is awesome Kev. It's redefined the hobby. No longer do you have to go fast or bash a RC car for it to explode it does it first time you touch the throttle! Major timesaver. Makes Stemp a bit redundant though, replaced by a machine that destroys itself, sorry Stemp, you have been made obsolete! That's 2022 for ya!

Kev, this is where your value to us and the hobby really shows up. Nobody that watched this absolute catastrophe will buy this car and make the same mistake. 'Preciate you Pal 🤙🏼

The car did nothing, and yet was still the most spectacular rc I've ever seen in action. Wow what a showing, and just when I started to think 1500 dollars was too expensive it really delivered the thrills. I can't wait to see someone achieve a full 14 foot speed run with it.

I come back to watch this every couple of months, it's so funny.

I can’t imagine the reality being more different from the promise of a new RC!! Looked amazing, actually a POS! Entertainment value off the scale, thanks Kev and crew!!

For once, Kev can't be blamed for destroying the car. Has to be the worst failure ever.🤣

I’m in shock...... it’s as if they never even drove the prototype much less the final model before shipping them out. It’s absolutely gorgeous but that is the equivalent of a show car prototype. Never goes over 10 mph trailered from garage to show and back lol this is a lovely desk or shelf model

7:13 The camera panning to Kev, who throws is to Steve as he turns and walks away out of frame is perfect.

no drop test, no torture test, not sending it to to moon.. rc car still EXPLODES 😂 another quality content from Kev! 👏

I wouldn't even bother with that thing, lost cause without some substantial upgrades. The moment I saw the wheels were 3d printed i knew this was going to go bad, looks like the suspension arms were 3d printed as well. Cool concept... for cnc machined parts. 4 hub motors will see that thing blasting at ludicrous speeds. May want some belted tires as well. Did the manufacturer even test this thing? lol

One of the best Talbot videos in a while haha Sorry that this happened to you. I hope the manufacturer steps up to help you fix it. Keep up the great testing!

That's a hard pass on that RC.

It initially looked amazing and a real game changer. My jaw dropped when I saw the in-belted tyres balloon and break the diffuser. The test run was so funny for all the wrong reasons, and this time not Kevins fault. Mammuth have suspended sales on their website and posted on Facebook to take responsibility for the horror show due to substandard wheels.

Jesus it blew itself apart that was one of the shortest lived pieces of kit I've ever seen on your channel. Thanks for spending the $$$ so we didn't have to! Can't wait to see the rebuild with proper parts. It looked so stealth before it went tits up lol

I liked the look of this, reminded me of the esc and motors from my old racing quads. Conceptually awesome (could potentially use gyro and motor speed for traction control and torque vectoring). In practice… it’s a ways off yet 😅

pretty impressive build quality.

Did they send you that thing free of charge as a youtube promotion? I hoped they liked their 'promotion video'😂😂😂

Send it back to them with all the pieces it left behind😂

Love sitting down at the end of the day sipping a coco and watching my favorite rc youtuber mess about this is why kev is the best person on RU-vid

Wow glad that wasn't my money lol. Looked so smooth and quite. Well... until it self destructed.

They didn't make you pay for that lump of💩did they?🤣

'Drive it till the wheels come off' - Didn't take very long.

The manufacturer knew exactly what they were doing. "Let's take this guy's money and 3D print him a hypercar." 😂😂😂😂

Kev: makes a review for a giant 1/7 scale car. Also Kev: let's see what this BABY can do. XD

The technology behind the car is brilliant and innovative. The wheels are far too brittle. Needs more testing and development. Hope it does well.

I feel like with a bit more R&D the car can be insane. I see a lot of potential in this kind of car.

One of my most fav episodes 😂 all the anticipation and excitement, but first the damage in the shop, then spontaneously exploding on location, then complete destruction with hilarious reactions 🤣 😆 pure gold. Could have been any car, it doesn't matter, just epic content 👌

That was the funniest thing I've seen all week, thank you so much No. 4/25, good luck getting parts for that thing. It looks amazing though, great concept

1500$ for a wooden chassis? 30 seconds of run time before a catastrophe.... Thank you for testing the way you do. This just saved so many people, so much time and money. Certainly people would've scurried to this model had they not seen how fragile it is.

Got to be a record. Fastest time Kevin has broken an RC car.

I’m new to RC cars but have been building drones over the last year. This is more reminiscent of a drone than an RC car and I love it!

It looked insanely fast when it was moving! I think you got more smiles out of this in the 42 seconds it lasted than any of your other R/C's!

This is why we need Talbot in the hobby! Lol I appreciate the stress testing!

You'd be gutted if you'd spent $1500 on it, and it must be the first time we can ever say, you weren't being tough on it!! Love their blurb - zero axles - zero differentials - minimal maintenance 🤣🤣🤣

I messaged the company about this. This was the response. Respectable in my opinion for the company to take responsibility. It was our foul, for missing the test of the final car. We started the sales too early and we were in a delay about shipping. We take the responsibility for that as our early bird customers have taken the risk to buy from a new company a new kind of car. When they ordered the first cars we informed them that they get lifetime warranty for the car because of this risk. Kevin's car was in the first batch of production, we get parts from three different suppliers and the rim failure we think was a low quality print. We will check when the car arrives from him. The expanding tire situation: we didn't find belted tires only for our rims, that's why we used these tires. We should have tested them with 6 cell, but as I mentioned the final testtests were missed. By the way we don't understand why he pulled full throttle for a three wheeled car. In the first case, there seemed to be some fundamental flaw in the car. After the remained wheels were explode, we think they hit the surrounding parts and caused so much damage. Next week we will get our new wheels, we will test GRP factory wheels with belted tires and we made adjustments on the bottom plate, for more wheel clearance on cornering. Right now we think that these steps will solve the problems. On our prototype car the weaker quality printed parts lasted longer than these. But we didn't tested the car on three wheels... We will publish our latest test asap and send the replacement parts for the customers.

Nice car but I think it's back to the drawing board for this model. Better wheels, suspension needs to stronger and no ballooning tires. Just needs these parts to be be better and you have a winner. Once these are sorted out it will sell a lot I think.

Well… you have to admit, the engineering got into this car has been exceptional. I like the ideas, and with all the electronics it is definitely a step forward. The choice of 3D printed wheel, and suspension parts is a bit… wrong imo, especially when using the wrong materials. That was probably the main issue here…

Holy balls, am I glad I saw this. This MUST be the most fragile RC car I've ever witnessed. What is this thing made of, bubble gum and wet tissue? This certainly goes a long way in explaining why the manufacturer demo'd the car on an indoor basketball court. A perfectly smooth surface. I was considering picking up one of these...at a price point of $1500 without a transmitter I would have been absolutely livid. I wouldn't pay $500 for it now.

£1500 for an explosion in a box. Totally worth it for the laughs.

It's a shame because I really like the concept behind this and cosmetically the design is great. How Mammuth will respond to this will be really interesting as I think handled correctly they have the opportunity to turn this around. I see they have halted sales which is a good start. What I'd love to see next is somebody come over to the UK to provide Kevin with a car with the issues resolved (at the very least the wheels need to be much stronger and the tyres should probably be foam or belted) then we need to see the can run properly without falling apart (unless perhaps it hits something).

Those motors look like large drone motors to me, can't imagine them being any good if dust gets in them... oh never mind it exploded. :-/

Not bad, traveled 12 meters before catastrophic failure, great value £100 a meter.

Xmaxx: I HAVE THE FASTEST TRANSMISSION FOR FAST JUMPS! Hybrid No-gear car: Hold my motors...

Looked amazing, I just did not except it to explode parts like that. I would feel so disappointed not getting one clean run.

It’s a great concept, but all the FDM printed parts scared me away for this exact reason.

I don't want you to change anything u do, this rc car might break the world record!!! But I had to skip through ur intro just to get to what I wanted to see carnage and/or success! lol keep up the great work!! Much love from USA Massachusetts!

I was expecting this car to be insane not with just awsome looks but speed!! 😅 I was so shocked to see how easily it is for it to brake, great idea but who ever made this car needs to redesign how the car works!

Him: Body is held on with magnets. Me: Oh boy... that's bound to end well...

3D printed parts on a monster like that had absolutely no chance of standing up to the torque that thing puts out…..

That's absolutely hysterical I have never seen a remote control car fall apart that easily

LOOKS 100% SPEED 100% DURABILITY -5% SELF DESTRUCT CAPABILITY 100%

Looks like they've got quite some development to do! I think the weakest rc car is stronger than this, especially at the price of more than $1400. I had high hopes for it, it looks so sick. Hopefully they can solve the issues!

This car was definitely more of a collectors item than a car to actually be driven, I can't believe it just fell apart like that tho.

I think I laughed just as hard watching that car explode into bits. Brand new Kevin being behaved and it still call undone in about 5 min flat. 😄

I've decided that this is the 6.0 Powerstroke of RC cars. Exciting at first but it ends in disaster.

Gotta love a "WHAT HAPPENED!?!" moment before it leaves the bench!

As soon as I saw all the load bearing parts and wheels were 3D printed I had a feeling this was just going to disintegrate, I wasn't wrong lol

The postmortem twitching at 7:40 just sent me over the edge. I’ve never laughed so hard at an RC video. So embarrassing its pissing hilarious and Claire laugh makes the video lmfao. “A bit there … and a bit there” lol!!!

Made to be a shelf queen. That said perhaps access to a titanium powder 3D printer and the cad files. Fully sintered, revised motors for the extra weight and it could be a decent Land Speed rig. Most of the concept is there.

I saw this car a while back, thought it looked like it could be epic, but was wondering how the motors would stand up to kerb strikes, then the wheels exploded before it got near a kerb 😂

This is probably the hardest your videos have made me laugh. I can't imagine they actually tested this car before they shipped them. First problem is a car that looks like it was designed to be a 100+ mph car has unbelted tires instead of belted or foamies. On top of that, the suspension parts look like they are made from saltine crackers. The power train looks serious though. How did they expect a paper mache suspension setup to hold down all that power?

Have you ever seen a rc with springs behind the bumper to take the impact

This is not an RC...this is a beast...looks like a concept car form GranTurismo...it's fantastic 👏👏...and then you see it running and you are like....what???????🤣🤣🤣🤣

The concept is fantastic, the design looks awesome, the execution...... Sorry to see that happen Kev. I actually think that when these things are ironed out they will be brilliant. Just needs some re-thinking. And it is so quiet!!! When you think about it tech-wise, it's a ground drone. Fun vid Kev!!

I'm guessing as soon as you come off the power the motors use magnetic field for braking to. Perhaps adding power then reducing power is asking too much of the 3d printed mounts and the fast slowing/braking action caused the failures. You'd think they would test it before sending it to you lol. Great video, haven't laughed like that in a while.

If you go to their webpage you see immediately why.... they only tested it on an indoor college basketball court. Slick wood, low traction, no bumps. They forgot that their target market no matter who it was is not a group of people that have access to an indoor basketball facility whenever they have the whim to drive their car lol

Out of all the crashes I’ve seen on your channel, that’s honestly the most entertaining one I’ve seen 😂😂😂

The Kiss brothers in Hungary have a lot of redevelopment to do as well as giving you a full refund. They should want the car back to evaluate what went wrong so they can use more reliable parts on their 3D printing machines. Thanks for the great video Kev. Pretty sure no one will be buying this failure of an R/C car until it's all sorted out.

Looks like that's the car that puts the biggest smile on you and your friends faces.

Motors having a fit😃😃👍

I like the idea & it has potential. It’s made out of out very cheap 3D printed materials. Didn’t they test it, before sending it to Kevin 🤷🏼‍♂️

Seems to me like the motors should be inboard to reduce unsprung weight and also fixed firmly to the chassis so they don’t twitch and torque the suspension. The main failings are the wheels though which should have been easily avoided, shame as it looked like it was going to rip

Cool car & concept but was skeptic from the start. LOVE cantilever suspension like with the Traxxas Revo & Summit. Though when I saw how the wheels were connected to those out-runner motors, along with It breaking because of simple wheel expansion. I knew this wasn't going to end well but didn't expect it to happen so fast. Really would've thought they'd tested that first (especially something that cost $1500) but obviously not.. Amazing video

Can I mention? The wheel that fell off was the same one he took off and tighten himself 😂😂 I had to rewind and watch 2/3x just to make sure before commenting

The drivetrain, motor setup, and software looks great. Just think they need to work on durability “slightly”. Stronger wheels, stronger hubs, stronger diffuser (or more space for tire expansion) better mounting system for the body. Ok so basically I think it’s a great prototype to hang on the wall, but it’s not ready for the consumer yet.

Think we can appreciate how tough some of these hobby grade rc really are

Production of the car has been suspended. We will restart it as soon as possible. on their website after Kevin got ahold of it

Gotta love the sense of humor. I would have been pretty mad. I would be sending it back in a heap. Nothing but a shelf car. lol.

This is embarrassingly inexcusable. Never mind the cost. If it explodes on it's first drive, it's a complete failure. CLEARLY, no thorough product testing was done before making to market... Wow. What a steaming pile of shit.

That company really had some balls to send you a car that’s damn near totally 3-D printed. What the hell did they think was gonna happen and they knew you was gonna make a video. The design, if made from quality parts looks awesome though.

What in the world? Did the manufacturer even tested it before shipping it? LOL

I was really excited about seeing this car. Hopefully kev can get it fixed and give it a rip.

I've been waiting for someone to do this with torque vectoring etc... I'm genuinely gutted!!

Absolutely amazing that’s the latest technology. Four wheel brakes everything awesome about having the motors in the wheels

Problem is it's only made for the basketball court 😂

This is up there with the boat one in hilariousness 🤣

Seeing this video posted has put a smile on my face after the shitty day I’ve had, thank you so much kev for everything you do and the smiles you put on everyone’s faces. Whenever I have a bad day and I see a new video posted it always makes it better

Thank you Kev, for testing the quality of this car. I definitely won't be throwing my money away on one.

5:57 I can't stop laughing How'd it just disintegrate randomly like that 😂😂😂😂😂 Self distruct

Every time I see Kevin's unboxing videos I think, ok I would have done that ok. When he gave it gas on the stand and it broke the diffuser off I about shit my pants hahaha. Funniest video I have seen In a long time. Thanks Kevin!

Looked incredible but definitely was a let down hopefully when it’s fixed it will run as good as it looks Entertaining as always though my friend!!! 😂

That's the most fragile rc you've had yet! I can tell why their previous build didn't take off 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

So….. apart from being the funniest video you’ve ever done!! Would you recommend this as a basher??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 💥

This is freaking awesome! You inspired me to start making RU-vid videos on my RC cars, and they are taking off!

I recognize those start up tones. Those are BLHeli escs. Those motors look like GARTT ML5010s which are a really cheap brand of drone motors. You'd think for the price of this thing they'd use a good brand like T-Motor or Brotherhobby.

Shocked to see wood being used, surely there is a better material for this purpose. No way 3D printed parts will take that sort of stress, body held on with magnets, at 100mph? Fantastic concept but looks like it was built in a shed. Cracking vid Kev.

Looks like it has a pulse still maybe you can revived it. 🤘🤪🍻🍻🍻🍻

Awesome video..!😎😎

Lol I've literally implemented the same idea with some drone motors I had around and some 3D printing. I expected it to be super fast, but in the end, it was super hard to control ( I guess due to extra mass and inertia in the wheels ) and I crashed and burned it on the first test run. I still plan to return to it and try again, maybe I get some inspiration from these guys.
