@Vedak ... Ebay..??

Thanks, all the ones I've ever owned always leaks gas or has an uncontrollable flame. Currently have a bernz-o-matic pen style torch. It works good, but goes out super easy. Like I could fart in another room, and the flame will go out.

That one I've got works really well, removes red loctite bolts with ease and a couple of days ago I soldered some 10awg wire with it..!! ?

Awesome build! I applaud your work ethic as it says a lot about a person. Following.

Where can one buy the red fan intake horn? I searched this thread but don’t believe you gave us that info...

Quick update on the diffs, I'm still running the same F30k/500k/R60k and it's going great I don't think I'll change to any other spec anytime soon..??

Thanks! I'm in the process of just putting a center diff in my Limitless and was looking for some guidance. It has 80k in it currently and is to spin happy right now.

Test fitting some bits... ?

ScorchedRC 8mm Ti drive shafts.. 1/2 a PPS diff mount ?

I'm coming for you @Mr.Duke here's my aluminium fan mount, using existing holes in chassis..??? ( yours is still better )
I've started using 3mm capheads in the motor mounts with washers as I find they don't bite into the mount or get really tight and bind like the Arrma 2.5mm flange heads which then strip out when you try to remove them..!! on a side note, the normal flange heads are quite shallow which I believe is the real cause of the stripped heads..!!

CVD's in the rear..?
Someone on here once said to me you couldn't use CVD's in the rear of the Typhon..??
Well ??️? to that ?? I'm getting them to fit in the Infraction/Limitless, it uses the same arms etc so I thought I'd give it a go.
I believe they may bind in a Typhon because of the amount of suspension travel but in the Infraction there is barely any suspension travel..!!
( will post other pics later of the clearance..?? )

I use CVDs in my Typhon too. Not a single issue. I bought the DEX8 cups to accommodate the CVDs as some said were necessary and they sit in the baggie they came in. When the tears wear out, I will use the Durango cups instead.

Yep... just like @jondilly1974 confirmed, the Typhon 6s CVDs (AR220030) bolt on to the rear with zero issues/mods needed. Although I run Mugen E0228 outdrives.

You have our blessings??

It shields the bearings better and you don’t have a chance of losing the rear dogbones.

Thanks for putting this in plain English!
