Bigjimknickers Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 What’s that track I saw in his vids, I’ve got no interest in seeing the fella, I don’t mind him I just wanted to know where the track was without looking like a Talbot fanboy stalker! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totlxtc Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 KT was the sole reason I got the Senton. I wanted something that was tough, durable, fun and i could hand to my daughter to have fun with with no cares of her turning into kit form. She wont even go near my Xray cos thats my baby!

Kpowell911 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 His videos do seem to be improving lately, even though theyre less frequent. I also like that Max lad he is bashing with lately, he is chaos. That said, I didnt like the ‘forced’ runaway with the DBXL, that was a bit reckless, but hey he probably made the money back for the damage off views alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forced runaway was ultimate clickbait. But enjoying the videos otherwise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustic Ade Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 I enjoy watching, he always says if you are enjoying yourself then that's what matters. Love the field fixes the cobble together. If you don't like him, there's always the off button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grogg Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I really enjoy his channel, he bills it as not a tutorial or educational, but I've not just learnt a lot from watching his channel, but also gained a lot of confidence and inspiration from it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Ill pre face this by saying. Im a massive fan of Kevin Talbots RC videos. Ive been a subscriber for a while and whilst I appreciate his style isnt to everyones taste, I loved his RC content. That said, I felt lately he was more interested in non RC content. Thats completely fine. Its his channel and he can do as he pleases. I also get that RC is a bit stagnant, and with 2.5m followers, he has probably outgrown RC. Financially I understand why he is doing what he is doing, and Id do the same. However, recently Ive been getting a bit "annoyed" (term used lightly) when it pings up a new notification and its non RC related. I follow his youtube channel for RC, nothing else personally. I dont want to see anything else from it PERSONALLY. It appears others feel the same so he has decided to split the channel I personally like this idea, as I can un sub from his main channel and continue to follow the RC channel. End of the day its his channel, he can put what he wants on it. He knows whats successful and what works both for him and financially. I disagree with him when he says "not an RC channel" because to me, it was and RCs "boom" rapidly accelerated his channels growth. I understand and agree with his reasons, but personally I think the RC side has a chance of dying a death (not necessarily Kevs fault, how many times can you take an X Maxx to a skate park?) and Kev can move into what HE wants to do and what works for him, which is fair enough he owes us nothing I guess. Still disappointing if the RC side dies off. Thoughts? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shergar Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Thoughts? Channels where passion is followed survive, those where they chase the algorithm tend to turn to **** (Sorry RC Kicks). If Kev’s happy his content will be enjoyable, if he’s going through the motions it will look like it. Sideways off topic, I really enjoyed this bash video (from a non-bash youtuber SBG Matt), same bash perspective but filmed like a Top Gear special. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 @Shergar i watched that SBG video on its release he did such a good job of the video it had me sort of wanting the product............for a short while, joking aside i do think the Raptor is a very nice truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still disappointing if the RC side dies off. Thoughts? I've been losing interest in his channel for a while, it seemed like he was running out of content. He moved onto the odd boat, helicopter, then a lot of nitro models, none of which interest me. I've subscribed to his other channel now, hopefully it'll feature more of what I want to see. Actually, I've started watching Tomley a lot more than Talbot now. Edited October 21, 2023 by PumpkinPie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed he had a video/post titled ‘biggest UK dedicated RC Channel’ or something along those lines and I had a wry smile and agreed with it. Im sure Kevin will be absolutely fine with his new followings, but for me its not the priority anymore.

Shergar Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Tomley hasn’t got the Wetherspoons fan club following him around, its just him, I think thats the key. Almost a forum experience on video. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 might of said before i just dont get on with Talbots Video`s as a rule so never subbed to his channel, yet Tomley i was one of the early subbers think he only had around 400 subs at the time 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve-O2021 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Personally I don't mind him and find he has amazing skills especially with helicopters. But he did have abit of a rant about people thinking RC is big business and how clubs find it Big business and take it too serious when at the end of the day its grown men playing with toy cars. Then I thought but Kev, for you it is big business really as that's what has made you all your money etc on YouTube when you started out.. Maybe he just didn't word it correctly but I do agree, there is people that do take it way too seriously, I remember years ago there would be someone that would shout and swear at the marshals if they didn't get his sons car back on the track fast enough etc... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be in my head!! Haha. I thought exactly the same. RC is big business to him, just as it is to those who take their club racing far too seriously. Id argue moreso for Kev as its paying his bills. Must admit, Ive enjoyed his latest RC vids on the Losi bike more so than Ive enjoyed anything of his in the past few months, so thats refreshing to see that all might not be lost for RC on his channel. Although he was waffling about crime/litter/politics a bit too much as per usual haha. Im not going to comment on the Raffalls, because everyones at it, and Id do the same if I could get those ridiculous sums for my unwanted stuff. As would we all. It was Good to see some "old school" fun RC content though on his RC Channel though so 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
