shake down test of the kraton exb to typhon , and its blooming fantastically great . perfect in my little garden , great handling and loadsa fun too , still on standard gearing but will change that in the future , the kraton front shocks on the rear and the mojave front shocks appear to work superbly

yep , went to the local hobbyshop and my ordered radix6 had not arrived so brought the kraton exb , which turned into a talion-ish and at last , is now the buggy i actually wanted , well nearly cos its the typhon and not the radix , but very pleased nevertheless

Pretty awesome. So you have a Typhon with all the EXB goodies now and wider stance from the Kraton hubs. Im jealous!

Looks like you'll be rid of that pesky lawn in no time! Fun ride for sure!

 

[Willl]

No need to mow that lawn

Two awesome bashes completed , only damage is the rear wing mount and rear tower when she bounced off a curb upside down , the tyres were bald after one lipo . Excellent , all clean again , parts n new tyres to be ordered , she may be on kraton gearing but she still cuts along , keeping it straight is fun

 

[Doom!]

Awesomeness achieived!

 

[razz007]

so shes back after a week as a talion , the buggy kept calling . shes now sporting a 20t pinion and the kraton front bumper when in my garden , and tonight i`m glad i did cos she smacked into a tree , the fence and the house , well it was dark and this little rocket nips across my 8meter garden in a nano second , first time with the standard tyres too , superb , oh and i gonna try a radix rear wing mount as she looks bare at the back and i break the mounts lots

update , corally wing mount found and on its way

 

[1coopgt]

A hammer will fix that.

 

[razz007]

The little rocket is awesome , Christ when it hooks up , it flies . Motor is now getting hot so may invest in a fan

Round two was with zero timing and badlands , I prefer the buggy tyres but she was still great fun . She also went from full wheel spin to full grip and completed an instant flip with an horrendous gear crunching noise , I’ve checked the diffs and all appears well . She carried on till lvc kicked in . Lovely

 

[razz007]

Well it was pouring down and I was as muddy as the typhon , brilliant fun indeed , can’t wait to get her out to bigger and better areas , a quick hose down and blast with air and she’s ready for the next blast

 

[razz007]

Spot the difference , yep , have put the kraton droop screws in and moved the shock positions , she sits lower front n back with the front slightly more so . I do enjoy the buggy as you can tell

 

[razz007]

Two brilliant bashes this morning. One in a huge open area of hardcore and grass. The other a local wood . I really could not fault this little buggy , I was gonna convert back to talion , but not now , spot she was , even made me look good , so that’s saying something

 

[Doom!]

Watch out for those trees, they bite!

Watch out for those trees, they bite!

When the buggy was the original kraton EXB mode it smacked them trees many many times
So a full check over and the rear tower was bent and I had trashed another rear diff case . So the buggy has been stripped bare , cleaned and for a spot of fun , I’ve put the kraton EXB front tower on so I can stand the shocks up to try or put back to near normal position . The huge rear tower has arrived , it’s for the non EXB kraton , so it’s gonna get drilled to suit talion and typhon shock positions . So many choices . Oh and this coming this weekend is the buggy’s last flight as I got some time off soon and going to find some talion areas

 

[razz007]

The buggy is ready to rock , I’ve cut the big lugs off the rear tower and re-drilled to suit the typhon , also drilled it for when it’s a talion , so hopefully one tower suits all . Have lowered it a tad more too as not heading to the rough stuff . Roll on the weekend

 

[razz007]

T is for tarmac , and tarmac mode is good to go , grp’s and lower / stiffened slightly too . Testing early in the morning so hopefully it’ll be dry by then
