First

Claire’s a good friend, after Tony said the donut was ok’ish, she told you what you really needed to hear, that it looked cool on camera. She also asked you the right question, did you enjoy it. That’s what friends do.

Pretty cool that your rc buddies are stepping up to the plate and helping you with a full blown monster truck. Good pals right there!

now THAT is a truck 🤯🔥

I must admit Kevin that your videos brings the kid in me. I got back into RC at 50. Yet I’m a mechanic by trade and have owned many vehicles I’ve owned and wrenched on.sending cars I’m not actually in while driving is different, but still thrilling. I can’t say how thrilled I am seeing you fulfill another dream!!! I thank you from the heart that you brought us all along. Your humbleness and willingness to thank all those that helped just show’s how much character you have. We may have helped showing up to watch, but your the one that put the hard work in and really made it all worthwhile to come back over and over again. Congratulations! Can’t wait to more!!

Pretty crazy seeing you come from tutorials on how to clean an X-Maxx, to building your own monster truck with just you and your buddies. Really shows how you can achieve anything you put your mind to.

I can’t believe how much I was smiling watching someone else drive their monster truck. Congrats and good luck!

You know what! I'm not jealous, I actually love that you are living you're best life. I really admire you. It's great to see a normal, down to earth bloke having fun. I've only just discovered you and the channel. I've watched loads of your video's in the last couple of days. Well done keV.👍

YES KEV! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT FOR YEARS!!! Finally got the monster truck done! SO EXITED!!!!!!

Watching this like a proud father, so proud of you Kevin!

I’m so excited and very proud of you Kevin! You dreamt this, made it a goal and nailed it, mate. Super cool 😎

All these years seeing the frame in the background to now, a complete Monster Truck! You did what you promised against all the skeptics and naysayers. Well done Kevin!! I'm excited to see what's coming 🤩

Follow you for a long time, and this really impressive. Great goal, and you have done it !!! you can be so proud brother

WELL DONE KEV!!! COULDNT BE HAPPIER FOR YOU MATE!!! had a smile on my face the whole video!

Massive well done kev you completely deserve it can’t wait to see more and hopefully see you in person one day keep smiling kev love watching all your vids once again well done mate 👍

Congrats Kevin and Team, you guys all look so happy!

I'm so happy for you @kevintalbot RC , your dream has finally come true ,a massive well done from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇬🇧

Kev, can't think of anyone who deserves such a cool thing working so well thanks to hard work as you. Keep it up mate!

seeing you living your dream is an absolute inspiration to me. and hopefully to others too!

The fact that you just built your own REAL monster truck might be the coolest thing I have ever seen

That is so great Kevin!! Congratulations on your new monster truck! That thing is so wicked my friend 🤩 can't wait to see more videos

Well Done Kev, I couldn’t be happier for you! As a shakedown run, that was pretty damn successful! A shakedown will always find little faults! Over the moon for you mate!

Nicely done! Not gonna lie, I’ve seen that chassis in the background of many videos and wondered if this day was really going to happen. You prove to everyone in all of your videos that you are a man of your word. Your upbeat attitude and positivity are an inspiration to me. Keep up the great work and good luck at the Nationals!

Absolutely awesome glad your living your dream buddy!!! All the best to you and good luck at the show can’t wait to see it!!!!

Kev you have officially MADE IT BRO!! What a journey!! That Truck is A BEAST!! And Monster Jam is 'round the corner too!! Genuinely chuffed for you kev!! WELL DONE!! Wes, Liverpool UK.

Kev, I can feel how much you appreciate everyone who has helped you along your adventure. You spent a nice amount of time at the end of the video to thank all those wonderful people and to me, that makes you a loveable, humble, person. Good luck moving forward!! I look forward to the next chapters in your life!!

Being an off and on fan for 5 years, and a hater at times. I’m glad this has finally come to fruition for you Kev, congrats man.

Ngl it was really nice to see how the whole UK monstertruck community helped kevin throughout his journey and now here we are

Blimey, I always though Claire was YOUR wife! Have had fun watching the build, and seeing you drive this thing makes me genuinely happy for you! :)

Did a great job mate, thanks for having us down. Built yourself a beautiful truck to be proud of. Looking forward to seeing it at the Nationals

Man this is so damn cool. I remember how long it was just a frame collecting dust in the corner of the shop for what seemed like ages!! Congratulations dude!

Hahaha this is so awesome!!! They had to dial him back from raising hell right out of the box lol. I’d been the same way. Can’t wait to see Kevin make the monster truck circuit. I’ll be watching.

Had a smile on my face the whole time. Congrats on your build and thanks for bringing myself and everyone else along for the ride!

Seeing this thing actually driving is amazing. So cool to see it come from that bare cage sitting in the side of the shop for so long to what it is today.

Congrats Kev happy to see someone live there dream. Cant get enough of that truck idling. Then at full blast. Be going to the BIGFOOT open house in September if your in the States again highly recommend it seeing the truck that started it all. Also the rc monster truck racing is pretty awesome too.

You go Kev, as long as it puts that smile on your face.

So glad for you- what a proud moment. Inspirational to us all

One of the best thing about dude is that he never take credit for himself when he achieves something. he always respect us, the audience, and his team, and he is polite in all his video. we congratulate ourselves on this achievement. more to come.. ❤️❤️❤️

Respect to Claire to letting him know it looked good for a first go. Rather then trying to burst his bubble like swamp thing guy.

Kevin Talbot I absolutely love your channel, I watch every video even though my RCS are not used at the moment due to depression. Your the highlight of my day and I believe you can achieve anything in your life, I never thought I'd see a monster truck and tonight I have, you took to it like a duck to water, I can see you winning monster jam. All the best for the future kevin

Just Epic. First drive, wow. You nailed it Kev, great job buddy. Thanks again for sharing. John

After all the years of hard work on your business and KZfaq channel, not to mention the Truck itself, all the mistakes, all the triumphs and everything in between, I bet that first jump felt pretty damn good. Congrats mate.

When Claire said " couple of inches " you can see Kev weighing up whether or not he can get away with saying "that's what she said!" On TV... but clearly thought better of it 😂😂

Congrats Kev. Nice to see the beast up and running.

The sound of this engine is ... fantastic. Love it! Keep it up 👍🙏

I am so darn proud of you Kev. Massive thank you to you for the motivation.

“I can’t see it being any different from a giant RC car” -Kevin Talbot

Bloody awesome watch mate. You guys have done brilliantly. Hats off to you all.

There is some thing special about watching some one work through and realise a dream, congratulations Kevin, and thank you for sharing.

Holy moly. I didn’t expect this, when i first started watching you 4 years ago i never thought I’d actually see it finished. Good job man and best of luck with the monster truck.

You should install a plate between the air filter and the radiator above it. It can hydrolock the engine in case of radiator or coolant fittings failure.

I know one thing: SEND IT TO THE MOON! Congrats Kev :)

Kevin just living his best life 🥰

I was smiling as well just too see a person achieving one of his life goals. This made my day good for you man keep up the good work

I've got to say, it feels so good watching this video.. From subscribing to your channel back when you had that frame in the warehouse for what seemed like an eternity, me and my lad have watched pretty much every video, so to see this now, it's like we've been there with you for every step of the journey.. Good luck with it all KT and crew.. Looking forward to the next chapter.. 😉👍

Awesome work. President and patience paid off finally!

Good to see you guts happy and finally finished with your dream build. Happy for u man☺

So happy for you Kev, it’s great to see you’ve made your dream come alive! Keep up the good work 👍🏻

You’ve made it kev and proven that dreams can come true, WELL DONE AND CONGRATULATIONS!

Well done Kevin and crew.loved watching this build

For years kev has had this dream and so cool to see it come true

"I love it when a plan comes together" So satisfying to see it in action. I can only imagine how good it feels to finally drive it.

This guy, love his attitude and spirit, he is living out his childhood dreams and its awesome

Your donut was awesome, your jump was awesomeness!!! I'm impressed with your driving skill. Love the monster truck!! I respect your moves kev!!

MONSTER TRUCKS RULE ...GO KEV, GOOOooooo...... !!! Yesss

Mate, what a ripper! I've never been a massive Monster Truck fan but this video really made me smile. It's great to see someone (especially a bloke as down to earth as you) live their dream. Even better is the fact that you 'got in trouble' for getting carried away 😂 Honestly wouldn't expect anything less from you, Kev! Wishing I was in your part of the world to see this thing live. Are you planning on having Claire or someone record the show?

3:53 And at this moment, Kev’s dream came true. Amazing work Kev!! You worked so hard for it!!

Happy for you Kevin. Truly well deserved 👏

That was quite an insight Kev. Looks like you had a great time. Well done and hope your future endeavours with monster trucking go really well for you. Looking forward to seeing more of it in action. ATB Darren

I bet they want you to get your basic skills down, but the donuts were 🔥 🔥 🔥 Kev and you got some serious air for you first outing!! I’m so impressed you have built such a high quality monster truck! Love all your vids! Good luck and keep up the great content!

Congratulations on your first real drive. Slow and steady keeps it in one piece and in the lead.

It's good to see this, well pleased for you Kevin!

Sick truck can’t wait to see more jumps

Found myself smiling more than you watching you have so much fun. Must be amazing to drive. Love it! Good luck at the show, hope there will be videos for us that cant go.

Wow Kevin I haven't seen you enjoy yourself like that in a long. Your big smile says it all..😊

Man, it's really good to see that thing finally up and driving I've been following you for years since you were in the old shop and you had that frame sitting there I guess dreams can come true man through hard work stoked for you buddy what an awesome accomplishment

Congrats Kev, you finally got your dream to come true. Will be cheering for you from home. Good luck in August!

I am so happy for you, this build is a real accomplissement you can be proud 😁

Love the RC content but seeing the smile on your face driving it in this video was great, glad it's finally up and running and you can enjoy the fruits of your hard work!

Oh man this is insane! I wish you all the good luck for the future and this beastly machine of yours! (I’ve been subscribed since 400k)

You´re a legend! Been following you for ages and you also been telling to build a monster truck for ages. And here it is! You´re an example to many for keep chasing dreams and make them reality!

I love the wind generators in the background whilst you burn fuel and rubber! Good on ya Kevin! 👍😀

Congratulations mate! Some people go around life just talking about it, but you my friend… you be about it 💯 what a way to live life to its fullest. Great job brother

Congratulations mate! It is well deserved after all the hard work you put in through the years building yourself up to where you can actually afford doing something tremendous like this. Cheers

Kev you are truly a wow to me you’ve done so many good things for me in rc I love your videos and I can’t wait for more. Dreams sometimes require patience and time and you demonstrated that awesomely. Proud to call you my mentor. Never give up kev and keep on tumble wumbleing.

Cheers to fulfilling your dreams Kev!!! So cool!

Congrats on a dream come true - this was freaking epic!!

Hey man congratulations. You've been building this thing for years. You got a nice shakedown run. With some guys that know what they're doing. That is giving you some knowledge. Oh my God it must be so great to be driving that truck and it looks like such a beast. Oh my God I have a hit the lotto I'm going to buy some really good size laying down here in Halifax Massachusetts or maybe next to a carver. And I'd get a monster truck and have enough area to rip on it. Would be so great you are a lucky man good and you put the work in to get it you deserve it. Enjoy yourself and don't kill yourself. God bless he's our kid

Just wow, its awesome to see your progress over the years and finally achieve this dream. You look like you are having the time of your life. Happy for you and thanks for bringing us along.

Congrats kev, I think you should be the example for people who want to achieve there dreams😂😂👍👍👍

So proud of what you have achieved. You have always wanted this. Congratulations Kev. Legend!

Was smiling from start to finish Kevin! Absolutely amazing seeing someone acheive their dream!

I would swap the fulltime diff locker for an air locker. This way, you can retain the locked differential with the option to revert to an open diff to make those turns.

Kevin, from the time I first started watching you build your Dream Monster Truck until now. This has been one hell of an AMAZING trip for you. But it's not over yet, it has Just begun. The next chapter for you will start at the showing and that Sir, THAT will be one trip you will not forget! I'd love to be there in person to see that for myself. Being here in the USA, I'll sit back and wait for the Highlight reel to come out. I wish you GREAT LUCK with this new Giant Monster, Real Life, Driveable (rc) Truck. Keep up the Outstanding work with your video's!

I'm so pumped for you watching that thing rip inspired me to follow my dreams SO THANK YOU 👏👏👏👏👏. Can wait to see the next video. I think we can all agree your an inspiration to all and a huge up lift in our life from watching your RC videos/adventures and watching the monster truck grow 🤘😁🏁

Wow dude. Congrats on realizing a life long Dream! I'm grinning ear-to-ear just watching you enjoy that first drive. Super impressed you didn't baby it, you SENT it first run. Super stoked for you man!

Massive shout to Tony! Shout to your friends! Grats kev

This sure puts a smile on our faces! Great stuff!

Bloody hell it's hard not to get excited by Kev's enthusiasm.
