I do both on the same day. 12T is a little slow on 4S but really depends on terrain. Above speed reference is for 6S.

Careful with the metal upgrades especially when bashing. Majority stays with plastic, even the rod ends, to avoid expensive damage. If the rod end does not break the next item in line that will get damaged is the shock shaft etc.
Talion is one of the most underrated bashers. I'll take it any day over my Kraton as well but they are both fun.
Welcome to the forum!
Sorry learning to use this forum.Those Intech rod ends are plastic ones.Using those in sc and M8 classes.Careful with the metal upgrades especially when bashing.

I totally agree. My Talion has been an absolute beast of a basher.Careful with the metal upgrades especially when bashing. Majority stays with plastic, even the rod ends, to avoid expensive damage. If the rod end does not break the next item in line that will get damaged is the shock shaft etc.

Bro that is a beast!!!All painted up with new shoes...
Hos..
Those Durango parts look nice on the talion.It's my Arrma DEX8Talion
Got this Talion roller and wanted to use the DEX8T body, so I ended up having to get the front and rear towers and rear body mounts. also had to use the front upper control arm bushing carrier from the DEX8T which mounted perfectly beneath the red Arrma aluminum steering brace.
I also notice quite a lot of slop in the upper arms. When I got the parts to convert the shock towers I ended up with some extra shim clips. So on the upper hinge pin stock it had 1 large one on the shock side and 2 small ones on the servo side. So I left the large one on and removed one of the small ones and replaced with another large "thicker" one. 95% of the slop gone and no binding or movement issues
The DEX8T body sits quite a bit lower than the stock Arrma Talion so the body now sits down nice and snug and seems to have helped lower the CG.
Rebuilt all the diffs used 10k in front and center and 5k in the rear. Running a Tekin RX8G2 2250KV on 15/50 gearing. and a Savox 1258TG, some slightly longer and stiffer Tekno springs, and rear mud guards
DE Racing black dish wheels will meet up with some badlands later today.
Not sure if I will go full on DEX8T chassis, center diff and drive shafts. but I may end up installing the adjustable diff/hinge plates. Will have to see what happens when something breaks.
Will post more pics once the wheels and body are finished.View attachment 246 View attachment 247 View attachment 248 View attachment 249
I took it to a local track and I’m hooked. Will not be a basher or speed run truck. Primarily a track slut. I’ve read on the FB groups some people actually using lower cst/wt shock oil. I know the heavy oil weight is due to the shock tower angles.Nero HD springs and somewhere 2-5000 cst is the sweet spot pending terrain and application.
