Worlds BEST 1st RC Car 

I love the GRANITE!

The Mega 4x4 Granite was my true first RC car. Since then, I've been hooked on the hobby like an addict!

My overall favorite basher of the 3s lineup from Arrma. The bigger tires and shorter wheelbase make it easy to do backflips and even frontflips.

I love mine! Bought it used DIRT CHEAP, added Typhon arms and tie rods and widened it. Changed a few other things as well. By far my favorite RC in my collection.

I almost feel sorry for anything delivered to Kevin’s house 😂

Can you get the LMT roller and make it a replica of what your full size monster truck will look like? That would be awesome! Great video today, Kev!

The Granite is really a great first basher. I have one and am very happy with it. Pretty durable and cheap replacements. But, there are downsides: The servo is crap. You must get a sturdy one as a replacement soon. The stock servos have 23T (black, V3). So to replace it with a most common cheap 25T high torque servo, you must also get a 25T servo saver (red, V1 and V2), or go with a different servo arm. Diffs and input gears strip pretty easy, but are cheap to replace. Be sure to check the mesh of pinion and spur gear. They are often not set right from factory and can strip as well, if not attended to. Lastly I exchanged all link balls (composite) for aluminum ones. The composite ones "sand" down in notime and you have slop in your links. Other than that, a very good little basher.

Man I love your channel Kevin. I have an Aarma Sent on 3S BLX I saved for weeks to get it and love it. My son watches all yours videos over and over and over and he's trying to do anything he can to save up for an Outkast. You inspired my son to get into a great hobby and I wanted to say thank you. I hope he is able to get his truck soon. I am disabled and cannot do it for him like I want to but its people like you that inspire a generation to continue a great hobby! Keep on truckin can't wait to see the next video!

I love how this guy shows everything it can(and cant) do. ...saves all of us time and money! 👍

This is one of the few cars owned by Kevin which gain the speed they are advertised with. 😂😂 Great video Kev!

I got granite because of you kev. I love it its my first rc. I bend already the motor mount but its easy repair i love it. Fast and durable. Easy to maintain.

Hey Kev, congratulations on hitting 1 million subs! You deserve it, keep the great content coming!

I’m impressed with the 3s Arrma line up. I’m a huge fan of plastic chassis RC’s because they just seem more durable overall. I can’t wait for Arrma to update the 4s line up. That took some punishment before the shock end came off. 👊👊👍👍

Love the 3S line from Arrma! The best budget Basher for sure. 😘

Awesome to see the channel grow! Keep it up brother Kev

man kevin is the best reviewer of this cool toys, i mean whatever kev tests and survives i know is worth the money :D Thanks for awesome reviews Kev!

I've got one too and it's so fast and durable! Great video Kev 👍

That jump over the bowl was epic and so is the Granite.

Kev!! So glad to see you reviewing the Granite V3 3S I got mine last fall and it’s been a warrior! It doesn’t seem to matter what you throw at it it’s always back for more. Also found it so nice to finally get a truck that can do the speed it says on the box, without having to change gearing. It’s been a joy, Arrma got this one right!

I just ordered one. It looks like to much fun. Thanks Kev

I'm happy with my outcast 4s. Great little truck. I still have a soft spot for my almost 10 year old slash 4x4's. One is a monster slash with the proline monster truck tires and body mount upgrade. Those big tires on a slash just make it jump and land so plush. Plus it eats up taller grass. And gives more control in the air with the heavier tires. Great combo. But as a first truck. The 3s granite that can hit 50mph out of the box is a no brainer. Same construction as my 4s outcast. Just buy some aftermarket A arms, cuz u going to break those, and proceed to bash away. I've had a blast with my outcast 4s. I run it on 3s batteries because it's just overkill on 4s for what I do. I find it is much easier to control and just as much fun on 3s. Plus I will break it less often and spend less time wrenching and more time having fun.

I was waiting for the "it's guna get it now" 🤣🤣👍🏻

More Granite vids Kev! Love seeing you bash these trucks and I'd love to see what you do with the Granite as far as upgrades and massive air

You know kev I love these vids honestly I love the work you put in and stuff man it just so entertaining man keep what your doing man can’t wait to see more

I like the way how kev says: ‘GOT A NEW TOYY!!’

Gets off nightshfit and kev uploads...tumble Wumble time!!!

Another day , another rc. Awesome video Kev! 🍕🍕

Hey kev!! I just got a stampede 4x4 3s and I was really wanting to see a video on it! Thanks 😊

my favorite truck. extremely durable, and easy to work on.

Arrma Vorteks. I just got one and I really like it, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts and durability testing! 👍🏼

This is my favorite RC channel period. Always exciting and the energy is out of this world. Thank You for always providing us with a great time.

Starting with this one I’m going down through all of your videos and watching them one by one!

Kev once again you've made a great video and as always it was fun watching it. And since you mentioned, it how about trying any other companies such as the Absima - Torch 6s or the Assassin 6s. Yet another good idea is to finally try them Team Corally rc's. I personally propose these 2 brands 1st cause we should have other alternatives apart from Arrma, Traxxas and Losi ( and the BG specials ) and also cause I want to see if the those European companies are any good . In this respect I won't have to wait for an eternity and a day for Arrma spares !!! :)

That is a pretty competent basher, especially for as you said, someones 1st. Goes well, takes a beating. Good vid Kev. Maybe not the best of days for Ian though.

Kev! Glad you did a video on this car. I have a Granite and really enjoy it.

Congratulations on 1 million you deserve it Kev!

Traxxas: we have a self right function! Arrma: hold our bend chassis 3:41

This is what I got for my 1st RC about a month ago and I loved it. The servo bit the dust pretty quick and now either the pinion gear or the diff stripped out... I didn't bash nearly as hard as you did in this video so I might have gotten a dud. Nonetheless time to upgrade it!

Hey Kevin, nice job with the Granite. It’s a tough one and fast. I would love to see your review of the Arrma Vorteks 3s. Thanks for all you do!!!!

lol, i think my favorite thing about all of your videos is the sound edit of the guy singing ye ye ye or whatever the hell he's saying followed by a crash lol. Always fun

Kev, I think for a high speed off road, you would like the Arrma Talion 6s

Bring out the e revo 2.0, u got me in this and ended up with the e revo 2 as first car

I cant imagine the speed.. its my first RC car and now cant have enough of rc cars. i have the brushed version ans still so fast. Best RC car money can buy

Badass content Kevin! My bud just bought this truck, loves it.

The Granite was my first real hobby grade RC truck and I still have it. It was the most basic brushed version which is the Mega. I've taken the stock brushed 550 motor out and installed a 2600kv motor from a kraton 4s and a hobbywing max10 4s esc. I replaced the motor mount and all the plastic gears with metal and also replaced the stock slipper with one from a kraton 4s. I had to add a wheelie bar like the 3s version because this thing is FAST! When I posted in the Arrma forums that I was converting my Granite to 4s just to see how fast it could go and what it could do I got trashed and made fun of. You can't do it they said. It'll break in 5 seconds they said... Well it's been converted for over a year now and I haven't broken anything but a rear hub after someone's trash fishing line got caught up in it and caused the plastic to heat up and deform. Anyway, The Granite is truly an epic RC truck for the price!

Can you maybe bring more videos with the jlb cheetah? I know you did lots but they are just super fun to watch

we just bought this for our 13 yr old daughter last weekend and absolutely love it, she has only his like 6 trees full bore and still going strong

Good to see another video entertaining / funny as always ...OMG Kev , I just picked one of these up at a store returns auction for " Faulty ESC " wellllllll ..... here it was not pre-programmed , programmed it and works great ... gotta love it ..

The reason this doesn’t have many views is because when you search “Arrma Granite” it doesn’t show up. You should put something like ‘Arrma Granite 3S BLX V3’ somewhere in the description, Kev. This is a great vid and has good potential (Also, buy the new Vorteks).

Hey Kev, I've watched you test a lot of different RCs. How about a drag car? Would love to see your thoughts on the Team Associated DR10!

My buddy has this and I'm gonna get it. It is tough as nails and is awesome. We've driven many different rc vehicles and this one is for sure maybe the best budget one.

I love my Granite BLX. I find myself bashing that the most. So much fun.

Hey Kev, I can't help but wonder what happens to most of these cars after you've driven/reviewed them. I've noticed that some are only driven once to never be seen again.

Can you test the Haiboxing 16889 brushless? It’s on BANGGOOD

Hi mate, I've recently been watching reviews on the phantom xt and no one reviews rc cars like you wondered if you had one or own one absolutely love the videos and all that you do 👍🏻 👊

Have a granite 4x4 brushed. Ordered a brushless system Hopefully will have it installed this week

Kevin can you get the Arrma Vortex we need to see how “ Talbot Proof “ it is 😂👏👍

I've had my Granite 3s since last September. Great little basher and the body is beat up but no broken parts.

Love your RU-vid channel Kev Talbot I look forward to seeing your video s Evey week ...good work man from perh ...go hard or go home I say ..

Thanks Kev, thinking of upgrading the kiddos carnage 2.0 to one of these. This thing out of the box is great.

Tamiya Sand Scorcher with brushless mods and ball diff etc. Do it Kev. It's too cool

Do those shocks still leak?

Definitely like your vids😁

Picking mine up right after I do my taxes! This is my new favorite channel! Thanks Kevin!

Day 13 of asking Kevin to take out his savage/get the new one

Kevin you need to get the new Traxxas 2021 model bronco crawler, it looks absolutely Epic.

Great video, loving watching your stuff. I’m looking to get into the hobby, but have concerns over Lipo batteries. Can these cars run on Nimh or is that impossible? Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I can't decided whether to do the Senton or the Granit, could you do a comparison possibly?

Nice car I actually just sold mine and I bought it broken up but managed to fix it and the experience was just awesome

Love my granite! Mine is the green as well. If you bash it any further ditch the arrma esc and the motor. I put a hobbywing max10 sct in mine and it's so much more reliable now.

Hey kev I have the arrma granite 550 mega brushed what would u suggest for a new motor and esc

It would be great if you reviewed the ecx 2wd brushless, I´v heard its durable, lets find out! Thanks Kev

I know the go to man for destruction testing for sure! Kev's the man

Yup, two of my shock shafts pulled out like that. The motor mount bends badly too. I had to put the M2C motor mount on mine to do big jumps. Also the stock plastic spur gear stripped (replaced with the metal 4s spur gear from Arrma). Control arms break, so I replaced them with RPM arms. Still a very durable little basher.

Here’s the whistling diesel of the RC world haha but man Kevin Talbot is awesome always crossed his videos never watched then I did watch subscribed an got hooked got my first rc.they are fun thank u tumble wumble 4 showing n learning a new hobby. My wallet is sad but I’m happy lol 😂

I prefer the projects, like the 100 mph off road, the 200 mph on-road, etc. Would love to see more of the Raminator and 5ive-T as well. Particularly the Raminator as a scale version of your real MT!

On my way to the hobby store to pick this up thanks man

Love the show Kevin. I have a granite and I just upgraded the stance. It's wider and a ton more stable.

Wow that’s super strong 💪🏼 might need one to go with my typhon

i would like to see the arrma big rock V3 . love your video continue the awsome work

I have an Aftershock that I love to bits, I can supposedly run 8s on mine but it hauls with 6!

Wow I am impressed!

I was waiting on this video nice🔥🔥🔥

Actually looks like an awesome car!!

I absolutely love the arrma 3s line, but I do upgrade the shocks on all of them out of the box because of exactly what happened at the end lol. I got sick of having to jam the shock rods back into the ends when they pulled out. My favorite is my truggified Typhon 3s, its a beast!!

could you get a losi baja rey 1/10 scale and compare it too the arrma 4s outcast?

Ok... youv convinced me. Im gonna get one for my little cousin as his 1st rc🤘

That thing rips!

What’s even more impressive Arrma is rumored to be making a 1/5 scale Granite. I will definitely be buying it to keep to bash with my Xmaxx

Arrma vortex 4×2. And then upgrade to 4 ×4 conversion kit. Awesome video for a budget rc car.

LOL LOVE IT!

I got one of these last Christmas and I love it

Would you recomend this over the traxxas jato 3.3??? Ive been into nitro for years and scared to go electric but this truck rtr blx looks like an awesome deal?

would you recommend me the big Rock v3 or the Granite? Going zo buy one of These soon and idk wich one to go for

Hey Kevin, I think you would really like a Tamiya TT-02, Rally car. There are a bunch of hop-ups and upgrades, and ik your crazy enough to put a brushless 3sell in one. Love to content ,you where one of the first videos I found on RU-vid when I was just starting this wonderful hobby. Thank you, big fan. Keep up the great work!

hey! i call 'em, bonnets and boots all the time, here in Texas. Watching you on Top Gear UK all through the 2000s made me start doing that. 😂Oh wait, that wasn't you. doppelgänger! We all have one!

Great rc truck

this jeep is great dear really

This was my first truck when getting back into the hobby after 20 years. I got the Granite 4x4 and it was garbage breaking on every run. The diffs and shafts break after a few minutes. Went to Traxxas and never looked back.

Just got this a hobby shop I can’t wait to drive it
