Nice, i would be careful of gearing with that big of tires, just wanted to let you know.

I appreciate the feedback. Is there a gearing combo you would recc? I have the Castle 2200v and the Mamba Monster X

 

[limitless202+]

i have that setup to, monster power output.
for bashing, i would go for 20;46
for speed or faster bashing, try out 27;46
For top speed (I’d change the tyres, but up to you) give 30;40 a rip, all the gears are right here.
i recommend for anything, using SAGA gears, they aren’t cheap, but they are the best of the best, hands down.

Too cool for school, man! I don’t suppose you have a build thread on that? Would love some specifics on how you set it up. Which front splitter is that, Limitless? Same with towers and shocks?

No build thread but if I did have on on that one it would probably have 8 pages of how to screw up about 37 different ways making a custom belly pan.

Very Nice!! I just got my first Typhon this week thanks to the sale. I unboxed it and liked it so much that I ordered a 2nd one and I still haven't driven the first one yet. I am actually considering buying one more before the sale ends but I also want a K6 EXB and those are on sale at AMZ for 10% off right now. I suppose the only solution is just to buy both, right?

As I have not driven this yet, does anyone know how the car does with the 53/107's vs the smaller/lighter 42/100's or GRP's?

I’ve found the 53/107’s to be a really weird tire. Not much grip compared to the same compound in the 42/100’s. I initially went for the look, but went back to the 42/100’s. Doesn’t matter which you choose as long as you run consistent sizes at all four corners. Some have found that the Hoons seem to get grippier after a few cycles.
GRP’s are a little smaller, a lot lighter, and offer better grip in my experience.
The PowerHobby Grippers can give that groovy staggered look with the same o.d. and are better on pavement than the Hoons, at least on the parking lots I’ve been on.

Thanks for taking the time to give your thoughts as I am in the process of putting together a cart of some parts for the 3 Typhons (LOL) I have bought the past 2 weeks. I will probably pickup a set of all 3 in 42/100 to try. I already wanted some 42/100 silver hoons for my infraction so it will drift a bit better and hopefully not burn off the tires as fast.

And yeah, I tried the 53/107 Silvers on one of my 2wd Slashes with the new Drag Slash 272R trans and any hard trigger pull = spinning and/or donuts. LOL. Hopefully they will do better on the heavier 4wd Typhon.

Just curious, how’s that 272R holding up? I upgraded my 2wd Slash with one but then I bought my first Arrma and it hasn't been run but maybe once since. Before the upgrade I scattered transmissions left, right, and center when running 3s, even with Robinson racing layshaft and idler gear and a locker. It was like run a pack, tear down, order more tranny parts, etc. Total drag, man.

I have had one in my Rustler/Slash LCG Conversion from Jenny's since shortly after the Drag Slash launched (when I melted/locked-up an old style diff) and have had no issues yet other than it behaving a lot differently (in grass/dirt) with the 500k fluid compared to the old trans that had 100k fluids. I have since put one in my other stock chassis rustler, and bought 3 drag slashes with them when Traxxas had the sale in September.
