I took my Limited Project and turned it into a truggified typhon. I was looking at all the parts I had and realized I could make a truggified typhon AND another limitless by swapping parts around and picking up the little final pieces needed.

I took the typhon6s shocks off my old granite/outcast4s setup and installed it to the Limited project after I re-installed the typhon6s shock towers. To allow the bigger tires I used this since I had it laying around. Since I only plan to run this rig on 4S my old granite/outcast4s hw/hs esc/motor combo will go in eventually and the blx185 will move to the new limitless build.

I am able to fit 3.8 badlands with no rubbing on the body. I ran two 4S packs through it already and so far no issues with the 3.8 badlands. Everyone who has truggified the typhon before has used the mx28 badlands. I sold a set (mx28 badlands) earlier through this forum because at that time I thought I wouldn't need them. I just enjoyed the 3.8 more. I had to get another set just to make sure I really like the 3.8 on this setup or stick to the common 2.8 route.

Because I managed to get the outcast6s t2t brace on the rig I decided to just leave it. I had to lift the body and trim away at the front a bit to get everything to clear. This project started out with spare parts plus the little ones needed to finish it. Now that I have it going the truggified route it will get a bunch of hot racing parts installed to round it out. Mainly the bulkheads and aluminum diff cups is all that is left at this point.

Did some changes to the truggified typhon today. Raining out so can't test run.

I installed the hw/hs esc/motor combo I had in my granite.

And got the mx28 badlands mounted along with the hot racing aluminum steering blocks and rear hubs.

Last on the list is the aluminum bulkheads and aluminum diff cups.
 
I saw a youtube vid by driftomaniacs where he clocked a stock typhon6s on 4S at 49mph with a 20t pinion.

Earlier today I managed 47mph peak speed on 4S, 16t pinion and mx28 badlands. My esc won't take 6s (fine with me) but for a 16t pinion (tires helped I'm sure) I'm completely happy. And no thermal concerns either.
