Kevin Talbot's DIY Monster Truck has expensive problems 

why you used a mag drill set up like that blows my mind? SDS drill on drill, and just hold it.

I love how you do all your own work, that’s actually the best part in my opinion

Woooo lets go more Game Over content!!!!!

Your welding beads are beaut! 👌🏻

Where have you been man RU-vid has been boring without you

Some of the monster truck guys have entire crews of people to work on their trucks. Love how everything you have done to your truck is all Kev! Great work!

"Jesus! I need a fat bas..." this had me howling 😂😂😂

I love monster truck videos, which makes them hard to find, yet this guy has a hole series on them and I watched the series 2 times.

You’re tire patch kit has me rolling 🥸

Kev, if ya ever buy yourself your own hydraulic-hose crimping machine, make sure the first set of hoses that you make for it, are 2 sets of replacement hoses for the crimping machine itself. Ask me how I know. 😆

More Kev!!!! Yessss! 💪

Love that you are living your dream bro

I love the absolute pinnacle of form follows function

Large scale aircraft casually perched on the Lambo, love it 😄

yooo finally monstertruck updates

11:46 I was convinced after all that bodging of a setup, and the hand ground 45deg drill, it was all going to go wrong. Fair play for making that work so well!!!!

Kevin! Loafers in the shop?! What's next???? Flip flops and black socks?😂😂 Get some boots dude!

23:52 stop it kev 😂😂😂 was getting more drawn into the build and the information given then you edit a moment into perfection

For the split tyre, you need to get in to the back of the tyre, grind the back of the split slightly and then use a vulcanising patch.

I hope he does more cockpit vids this year! 🤞 So cool to see it from that perspective.

Good to see Vinnie and Ian. Truck is looking great. Winning 🙌

Really incredible how much improvising, Jerry rigging, Jury rigging or what ever its called, oh sorry I meant customization Kevin does, how often it works and how good/skilled (lucky) he is at it. I mean sharpening a drill bit, no reshaping and sharpening a drill bit with an angle grinder, and much more. If you've ever done this kind of work you know how difficult it can be, very impressive.

I used to live in Breckenridge Missouri. Was the home of Orange Crush Monster Truck. The owner would let us kids set in the truck. One of my fondest childhood memories.

Awesome stuff Kev! I will never complain about putting bead locks on my RC trucks together again! LOL

NOBODY has more fun than you!! great job on getting that tire on the bead!!!

4:30 I like how this guy is trying to fix a monster truck tire with tire prop’s I use on work to fix some small holes in car tires😂 I will be amazed if it will hold on a jump

Thanks for sharing!

I tore a 3cm hole in the side of my atv tire. I was 90km from my truck. Instuffed 6 of those tire plugs in and 3 weeks later it was still holding air. They are awesome.

I love the monster truck videos, keep it up kev❤️

finally lets go

Finally a new kev vid🎉

Kevin Talbot, This is fantastic! I subscribed right away!

I love watching the monster truck content, i even take notes while watching so i know the best tips for if i want to make a monster truck

HELL YEAH IT'S WORTH IT ❕

The monster trucks vids are some of my favorites! Great content! I’ve been a sub for a long time and am so happy for you making your dreams come true with this monster truck, you even got a rc Ramonator replica! Cheers Mate! Good Luck on the Show

Hey Kevin A couple of ideas that might make it a bit easier in the future. The Mag based drill is the go for the countersinking of the wheel nut holes and there is really nothing wrong with using extension sleeves but there is an easier way. You could use a milling cutter made for cutting dove tails. This would require the mag base on the other side of the wheel and removing the cutter for each hole then remounting it in the drill. Instead of pushing with the drill you would just pull it up to the required depth. Also a bit of a heads up about the new hydraulic cylinders. If they have been assembled dry and seem to be stuck in the barrel like yours were you should really avoid rotating the rod and even hammering on them as well. Why? Well when dry the seals can stick so hard to the barrel that especially when rotating you can tear the edge off that does the sealing thus causing the piston to bypass or the gland end to leak. If you can you should always try to run the cylinder a couple of strokes with oil and then rotate the shaft once it has been bled even only turning once moving. After the first 5 or 10 strokes this isnt quite as important as the seals will be well lubed. I just connect them up to the oil if possible with the cylinder filled as high as convenient. It will move rapidly for the first few strokes until the air is out of the system so you should be aware. Seeing your jack for the truck you could easily add a couple of valves and other fittings to it so you could run the cylinders a little without firing up the truck. I know you have already done both jobs and they worked out great but the info could help Future Kev so thats all it was for. Cheers

Mann, I love the way you do the wrenching, your all MANN.😊😊😊😊😊

What's up Kev? I just learned this the other day my dad taught me but in this situation you can take a ratchet strap and run it around the tire like all the way around the tread and squeeze the tire and that'll make it seal up on the rim and then you can air it up and then let the ratchet strap loose

You have a lot of perseverance to be fair. It's fun watching you overcome and adapt to problems on the the truck with very limited tools for this kind of work.👍

Great content Kevin, some solid progress.

Love it, Kev! (Just a tip: if you're leaving nuts or bolts loose, put some red or bright green tape on them as a reminder to torque them later)

Brings back memories. Back in the early 90's I was using Char-Lynne #211-1012 orbital steering valves on my trucks to give me 2.5 turns lock to lock.

Fantastic Kev,that drill was just awesome 😮 🇬🇧

Love these videos, always lived the trucks from a kid. Videos always chill me out a bit when I'm struggling so ty.

Good for you Kev! One man show with some help from good friends. Not an easy task to say the least.

Kevin we use air compressor and add a little pressure to move the cylinders in and out, makes it much easier.

Stacking dimes on that jig 🔥

A good shot of starting fluid is the way to put those tires back on the rims!

Thanks for the MT content. You are the only one making it. Hope V2vids comes back to YT we need more MT content!

Kev, roll the tyre outside and take out the valve, lie it on its backside of the rim and try and stand on it to try and get it seated up close to the bead, now get a can of brake cleaner, spray it inside the rim just past the bead and then spray a line of it on the wall, now get a lighter and ignite the trail left on the wall and move your arse out the way quick as poss, it'll basically ignite and push it back onto the bead, its a trick by for off roaders and truckers, there will be youtube videos showing it.

Love the shoes really English looking! Great vlog thanks!

Hi Kev its awesome how you got this truck built lots of passion and determination and hard work , love the rc content to 👍

Guts effort Kev. Jesus Christ bless you and your projects old mate

its worth it its been your dream for years you been working on it for years i remember waking up and see if u put the engine in it and see if you made progress for years i love them videos

So in other words a out the box monster truck is the same as most RTR RC’s spend a fortune on it , & then have to send more upgrading it typical 😂😂😂😂 all worth in the end though 😂😂😂😂

I’m so proud of captain bodge it . He gets the job done!

we all like watching kev struggle. all the love kev awesome vids

Prior planning and preparation, prevents piss poor performance 😅👍💪

Welder here and kev even though you don’t give yourself credit you welds are so good. Definitely have the tig touch

If the tire starts leaking again you will be looking for a OTR Tire repair/retread company to install a section repair on it and they will seal the crack with new rubber! Fairly cheap, farmers use this solution alot compared to new tires 💰💰 i hope this helps, i enjoy watching some large truck repairs with kev!

Kev I expect you missed the 'Top Gear' when they did the episode from Iceland in winter. Those guys are crazy, they drove huge 4x4s with similar balloon tyres to yours. They run them at 3psi on the glaciers, and they often come of the bead and are useless. Their cure was similar to what a few commenters suggested, as spraying lighter gas inside the tyre, taking a few steps back and throwing a lit match at the wheel. The gas instantly ignites and blows the tyre back on the bead at the same time. Best done OUTSIDE. It was hugely impressive to see, I recommend finding the episode, it was with Clarkson in it.

Excellent work my friend.. great improvisation on your mag drill and counter sink for your lug nuts 💪🏼

Without rubber cement applied to the tire plug it won’t seal and you can also burn them to seal them as well but they make something called a plug patch that goes from the inside and you pull it through the hole and there’s a patch on the inside they are great Use them for tractors all the time

Should put this music behind all Kev's vids 💯🤘

Radial dynamics is the best. And with that increased orbital valve, those bigger cylinders shouldn’t be an issue. It’ll turn better with your spools.

Followed you for a while! love the monster truck updates, awesome work KT, smashing it 🤘

Those tyre repair kits are ace. I got a screw in a brand new £250 tyre and bunged one of these in and its been holding perfectly for the last 6 months. Worth every penny!

Kev, you could have just swapped the hoses for the backwards steering down at the rams themselves where you have the T's at instead of all the way up top. And next time, LABEL THE HOSES!!

The tire isnt fixed kev. I used to work on straddle carriers.You need a mushroom repair kit that is pulled trough from the inside.This way the air pressure seals it better by pushing against it from the inside. The way you fixed it by making the hole bigger.When driving and hitting bumbs it could pop out and deflate the tire really fast which is dangerous. The repair kit you used is only good for straight holes in the running surface area.Sides and cheeks cant be repaired properly with this system. Its called "Mushroom Tire repair kit." Make sure its for a tire like yours and not for a car tire. :) Good Luck

Next major engine service weld a heater lance into the oil pan, then you can plug it in and boil the alcohol out of the oil ;)

can't wait to save up enough for your course

That thing is a beast with the big wheels on it!! Love the noise it makes!

Kevin, i haven't got a clue what you're doing but its fun watching! Best of luck to you.

New that Tom Meents has retired.., Congratulations! You are my new favourite monster truck driver💪🏻

I've been a fan of monster trucks for nearly 35 years but my absolute favorite will always be BIGFOOT

Yooo after a long gap monster video ❤

You can also use shop air in the cylinder to extend it. Also be careful with hydraulic pressure in the lines and fittings. Hydraulic injection is no joke

I’ve missed u Kev ❤❤ happy to have u back

Great video Kev, really enjoyed it.

It was cool seeing you work on Game Over

There he is! What abeuty, Kev Would love to see you in the US! I always buy the Meet VIP tickets so it would be awsome to meet you in person and get a photo with Game Over. Its just amazing how far you have come. I think i subbed when you were @ 80k ish. That frame forever in the background of your videos and to see it come to life so quickly is amazing.

Have you guys never repaired a tire before!? You have to use some rubber cement glue stuff on that strip so the wound in the tire has glue in it too. Shoving in just a repair strip will leave gaps unless you subject that part of the tire to a bunch of heat. The strip will soften into a sort of rubber goo but regardless, you forgot to use the rubber cement! .. The rubber cement acts as a sort of lubricant to shove the strip in also. So you don't have to hit it with a hammer...

Hay kev you might be missing one of the basics for tig. Here is a re run. Proper stick out. Proper tungsten for the job. DCEN for mild steel. Minimum 11 cfh flow for mild. Check your area for a source of air flow that can be pulling your gas away from the puddle.

absolutely awesome kev loving it keep up the great work. can't wait to see more

Keep up the great work!

As a tire tech who has put on many of those tires.... This hurts to watch. Good goin kev. Theres definitely better ways to do it but you got it all done. 🤣🤣

Try hooking up your steering lines backwards once and try to drive it, it’s ridiculously hard! I used to work in a case ih manufacturing plant that made the big sprayers. I was a tester and every once in a while the assemblers would hook the lines up wrong and we’d go to start it up and drive it out the door for the first time and it would be backwards. If there wasn’t time to fix it on the line we’d have to drive it like that over to our repair bays. It was so weird, your brain fights you from trying to turn the wrong way which is the right way 🤣

When installing those tire plugs I find it helps to put a small amount 5 min epoxy it acts as lubricant making it easier to slide in first and then when it dries, the plug tends to have a better seal on the tire

Sooo very proud of you Kev!! Greeting from Wyoming USA!!

Use rubber cement on the tire plugs to help seal.

Can’t want to come watch you and all the other moster tucks agen this year Kev what a day last year and I loved the peace of game over that you was given away and was lucky enough to get one 👊👍👍👍👍👌

When you plug it next time dont let the air out. It works better when you have air pushing back on the plug. You can put as many plugs as you want in it.

Hey kev. It's kool to see how your Chanell has developed in to what it is today. I have been watching for 8 year's maby more. Roll on.

Glad to see some vinny get screen time ;p great cid look forward to the vid this monster takes off!

When we have problems like yours with the tyre, we just ram a few plugs in 😂😂

Throw a little flex seal on the split 😂 should be mint!!!

been waiting for you videos fort you want goner post for a while i hope they is more to come 😁😁

Need heat/torch for the tire plugs. Light it up, let it burn for a few seconds, blow it out then shove it in. Lighting them on fire melts the plugs which when they cool off, they stick or melt to the rubber of the tire. Also, the first tool is a reemer. It's to make the hole bigger if needed for the plug. You use it like a saw (in and out quickly and repeatedly). Yea a "saw" is the most PG description for the kiddos.

Love your content kev, But most of all love seeing your comments on other channel's on how awake you are. Pureblood m8.

Your welding skills are mint Kevin! Really neat job. Awesome truck.
