Cheap VS Expensive RC Car Racing - bargain or buy cheap but twice?

Wish I had a Local RC racing club, it looks like lots of fun.

Kevin always works so hard on these videos for us viewers, thanks Kevin ❤

If you have to run cactus rears on black carpet you’ll basically always be fighting for steering as they are super grippy. So either change the rear tires for Mezzos/Nessis/Fuzzbites. Or lift the roll center at the rear up!!! Then go to longer camber links at the rear if necessary and play with laying down or standing up shocks. Then start adjusting the front. If your front tyres are wearing a lot faster than the rears, your car still wants to push and your setup balance is off. (Too much rear grip vs front) Before sticking a lot of weights in the front end of the car, try a softer spring first. And go from there.

I just love kevs never ending enthusiasm when it comes tje the hobby

Ugh, super glue in the eye...I cant even imagine... My first two RC cars had 27mhz AM radios and 3 speed mechanical speed controllers, electronics have come a long way, but you can still have a lot of fun with some really basic (cheap) gear.

DIY kits are great, as when it breaks you kinda know how to replace and rebuild the car back.

Kiddy max is just like big max

Kevin, the RC GOAT! Never disappoints with his charisma and passion for RC! Always entertaining. I never miss a video when it pops up.

Kev, just wanna say I appreciate you keeping the rc community alive and well. Your channel is one of the first channels I subbed to like 12 years ago when I was super huge into the hobby. I have since had 2 kids a dog and got married. Rc has taken a hard back seat. Used to race back then. But watching you makes me wanna grist off the old gear and get back out there

Nice touch showing the diff oil bottle, it answered almost any possible questions

Love it. Just love it. Smiled the whole video. Kev you’re such a great guy letting that 6 year old kid drive your cheaper RTR buggy. That’s how kids get addicted to the hobby! Having fun with positive experiences with great guys like you, and the crew you had at the track. Keep these videos coming my man! We love em! 🤩

Thats the best build video I’ve seen. Quick and informative. Good job Kev.

Credit to Max, he's 6 and doing fairly decent for a 6 year old. Plus it survived all his abuse to it, thats the perfect entry level racing rc for an event like this for a begeinner.

Good tip regarding saftey classes and glue. We only get one set of eyes!

Been waiting for this type of video for ages!! Thanks kev!

Really enjoyed this content Kev. Thanks for showing what it could take to get into racing from both perspectives.

Loving the on-board shots, it really does show the diffdifference between the cars👍

6:08 who else went "uh oh" when Kevvie said "now it's time to glue on the tires"? hahaha we ALL know he's a "pro" at it hahahahah

Come to Essex Carpet Clash - this sunday. great etiquette and you'll be more than welcome!

Love to see you testing Yokomo 🎉 Have the older brother of the SO2.0 and damn I love it. Haven’t had such a tough racing buggy yet. On the SO2.0 you can use the 4WD Front tires on the Yokomo front wheels, should have also more grip

Awesome vid, Kev. Great work. Looking forward to an Isle Of Man update.

Kev, I don't think it's worth it. It looks like the same run and gun fun at roughly a quarter the price. I know the other one his higher end components but unless your good enough that your literally winning every time. This was a fun video!❤

Thanks for another great video Kev! My favorite part of the day!

One of the best videos youve done, Kev. Informative and entertaining. Epic!

You know, I started RC Cars with a WLToys 14401 Buggy, then an Arrma Granite and even an expensive 1:10 Touring Car for racing. In hindsight, I had the most fun with the $90 WLToys 14401 car. I could run on- and offroad with it and the spares are dirtcheap.

More racing and upgrading videos please. These are by far the most entertaining to see the progression.

Watching this makes me want to go rc racing. Kev makes his videos to help us do the same stuff! Keep it up man love the content

great job Kevin, something you can also do is glue the sidewalls on the fronts, only like a small bead, should take away any grip rolling if you have that and initial steering. But it looks like you got a potential winner there. Smooth and Slow is Fast! Keep it on all 4s!

Thanks for the video can't wait for more isle of mann content

Keep up the amazing work Kev we love you from Nigeria 🇳🇬

I really enjoyed this man. I love your content but it was nice to see something different than just bashing and breaking RCs

I really like the longer style video. I'd have to imagine it's easier then making a 2-3 part video series. 👍🏼

kev i love your content keep up the good work

Love the mustard colour. Great video kev. Very interesting. Entertaining as ever. 🎉

Great to see kev supporting Rochester RC

thanks Kev, these are the kinds of video's I enjoy. time to introduce grand kids and even my wide (who likes running around the yard,) to RC cars.

Yes… perfect… multiple days,multiple setups awesome way to convey their difference… all in one video. Nice Kev!

Epic build lapse!! Spot on good work 👌

Love the new racing buggy, would love to see more of it!

Great entry into a lifestyle hobby! Nice track! Love the kyosho thumbnail! I have a 8ight XT kit on the way. And LRP engines in the mail! Even their .21. Hoghly recommend!

Shock assembly tip: use a small piece of wood (ie: a popsicle stick) between the shock shaft and whatever metal gripping device you're using.

Great video, would love to see you slowly upgrade the RTR and how it would improve its times. Say spend £100 each week on upgrading it.

Love your channel and content good morning my friend from South Carolina! I really love the build videos as well mate!

Love these videos! All cars can put a smile on your face, preferably nitros...

Nitro is still fun tho

didnt think we would get such a classic style Kevin video! really enjoyed the journey! :)

Love the build vids kev

Great job racing, Max!

Kev keeps doing the best videos and inspires a lot of people including me.

My first hobby level RC was Nitro. I just loved the sound of that engine and the smoke. It let people know I wasn't playing with some "toy" I got at WalMart. Also loved knowing that when it ran out of fuel, it was just a matter of putting more in and I was good for another 20-30 minutes. My next RC was electric, 4S capable....I popped the tires doing donuts. Then I went all in and got a 1/5 Scale Gasoline RC....was a crappy HPI knockoff....jumped a tiny ramp and broke the shocks. I mean, Kevin jumps massive skateboard ramps and lands RCs just fine....nope....I jump something that that gets it maybe a couple feet off the ground and things break. Friend of mine has an expensive DJI drone he wants me to try out....if he knew my history with RC vehicles, he would change his mind LOL

Those on board shots were mega kev Took rc racing.back up after a 30.year break Do it with my son now and loving it Great video fella

Interesting! Great Video, please more "VS"- Videos. And more "competition"-Cars also. :) Thx! Keep on and have a nice evening.

Nice job, Kevin! That looks like fun!

Nice to see a rare good video without intentionally breaking good rc vehicles.

😅 Super cool, i wish we had such a club in my country 😢 Maybe one day Thanks for that infovideo🎉

I just bought my kids the new BL-2S Rustler 4x4 and they love it. Their only complaint is it pulls hard to the left

Crazy nice video Kev! 🎉❤

Love your racing videos. The Yokomo is a brilliant car.

I will build one 💪🏼 Thx kev for the nice video

Awesome video Epic as usual 😎

Kevin mate you have really stepped it up recent content and your back to my top 3 youtubers ever. I'm brutally honest and you most likely don't care about my opinion but with that said max was killing your chanel in my personal opinion. Keep up the good work mate . Crashed my infraction yesterday 😢

Sup kev love the content keep it up 👍

that yellow paint looks good!

Great video kevin. and nice driving

that yellow looks dope!

Love that no one mentioned the typo in the title love you kev

Good stuff kev. I have to admit I have zero experience of Yokomo stuff. That RTR or cheap version looks a good car for beginners, just like you said. As for the race results, at least you know that it's not your driving Kev.

Kev , use some heat shrink tubing over some old long nose pliers for shock absorber grips , works a treat if you double up on the tubing 👌🏼

I have a year old arrma typon 3s, still don't have 3s batteries yet only 2s... its been great, no issues at all I just put hoons on it about a month ago. it goes up to 50 which is good cheap, Im pretty sure it was only 300-350 dollars but its been a great rc and I would highly recommend it for someone who likes to bash for cheap

I would love to see a build and review on the Schumacher LD3. Looks like an awesome buggy!

On the tires you can glue the sidewalls. Giving stronger sidewall

18:35 pro grabbing reflex! He didn't even look at the car that was coming just moved!

Super cool video Talbot 👍

I have both a losi 2.0 nitro race buggy that was fully built for racing with top dollar components, bought it from a friend that needed money at the time got a great deal and also have a pretty old ofna ultra buggy also nitro with the legendary. 28 engine absolutely a torque monster, the ofna despite its weight has been so reliable and dependable that it's still my favorite buggy ever, the losi is actually going to be sold pretty soon as I don't really drive it much at all. And when it comes to being competitive on the track it's mostly about the driver, I've raced my nitro associated mini mgt ( monster truck) in truggy open classes and it's made a top 3 every time, always nice to hurt feelings at the track...😎

What a fast little beast ❤,allmost right of the box 💪

What’s that Red Bull F1 on your shelf Kev? Looks sick, hope to see it in a vid soon!

Interesting comparison, I started racing on a Team Losi Racing 22T 4.0 which i tried to build it myself going by what the book said but it didn't work out well and it was very difficult to drive so i traded it away. And bought myself a prebuilt Team Associated B74.1 from my dad which was built by him and ran great and was a 13.5T spec 4wd racer but we don't run it to often since he been busy with Nursing school. I'm currently not doing 1\10 scale racing i'm more of a basher myself and i plan to buy more bashers than racers. But great comparison anyways Kev.

good stuff! Stop over adjusting the car and just drive it without crashing and you will be swapping paint with the leader.

Yo Kevin always works so hard on videos for us let’s all give him a clap 👏

All those famous RU-vidrs. You my friend are lucky.

I'm surprised Kevin doesn't have a shock vacuum chamber. Not a must, but after I bought one, don't know how I lived without one.

You can also use the crimp portion of wire strippers and it won’t damage the shock

Very cool Kevin!!

Awesome vid Kev

Great video!

Jeez no RC10's anymore? Lol I guess I'm that old now. They used to dominate the tracks. Team Associated was also huge

When are you going to make more videos on the kyosho buggies and truggy and race them? Love the race content!

Nice knowing I can start somewhere atleast at some point without draining my pockets

I just wanted to say thanks I'm watching for a while now hope you get the record thanks Jeremy

Brilliant vid kev

Thanks great video

Great vid! Can you do something similar but off road fun cars? Something that is entry and can take a beating in the out doors or on a broken sidewalk? Where I live plenty of areas to do off road and dirt fun times but nowhere for a race car nor smooth surfaces aside from the active airport

i dont even work on my fpv freestyle drone, this seems like a nightmare that would make me smash up my entire shed lol hahahaha, OH love the videos man

What if you put some of the electric upgrades from the 1500 car and put them in the 375 car to give it a value of ~800...? Because it wasn't far off for a 1/4 of the price from the box 🤔🤔🤔😁👍

I was surprised to see that the Yokomo has similar, if not the same, rear hub design as Team Associated. I'm starting to wonder if any other makes have gone with that same style hub.

Looks like the built buggy has a much lower centre of gravity? That’s going to make a big difference.

Props to max never having raced before going out and playing with the big boys.....give him some time on the track alone and he'll be whoopin asses and takin' names!

that was brilliant 😃👍👍👍

Great video
