Talion Been waiting for V5 Talion...

[Harry62]

I’m at the point where I don’t want to spend months waiting for V5 and maybe even hoping for an EXB version. What are my best options for “building my own”? Not really well versed in converting one model to another. I was going to grab an EXB Kraton at first. V4 are out of stock near me. What’s my best options? Thanks everyone.

Unless it's stock faster and more heavy duty than my V3 version I'll wait. Mine's Beat Mode now so I'm good, it can take a hard pop and get right back up. I'd love a new one but I'll be surprised to see one anytime soon.

Soooo from what I gather the Talion is slotted right there between the Typhon and the Kraton? Could you not just throw some bigger tires on the Typhon 6s and make it a truggy/Talion or what really is so special about it? I'm very interested in the next version as right now I don't really have anything on my radar that I would LOVE to pick up and I have no budget haha

They are beautiful, you'll be very impressed!

It's a shame no one that I know of does a decent rear wing mount for this vehicle?

Hot racing makes two different wing mounts that work. One specifically for the kraton and one for the talion. I just recently got the one specifically for the talion (the low profile one.) I had been waiting for these to become available and picked one up as soon as they were (one one the right in the pic.) There's a few on amazon and ebay still if you want to pay more, or wait a bit as I did for them to be in stock through hot racing/their distibutor (in NH.) The low profile one keeps the wing in the original position, the kraton one works but raises the wing a bit higher. I made my own (heavy) makeshift aluminum reinforced version while I waited for stock after I broke the 2nd crappy plastic stock one. It says V3 but works on the V4 too.

Thank you I'll be looking into this for sure, any negatives apart from weight?

No, you will need a chassis, braces, arms, rod set, towers, shocks, drive line, tires and a body. I’m sure I missed a few things.

Be careful throwing too big of tires on a stock typhon. Diffs won’t handle 3.8 IMO
i just build a typhon with kraton diffs and kraton hubs hexes axles the normal thing. Definitely recommend kraton diffs. I bought mine from Jenny’s ready to run and wasn’t bad price wise at all

I was going to get one of those on ebay but the cheapest they have them for (now) is $65

It is aluminum so it won't break like the stock one, it will either bend, break your gearbox or both.

Can't wait, I love buying parts that I didn't need , maybe I shouldn't have rushed into this...

PS. FOR SALE v3 Talion loads of Aluminium upgrades, great condition, only used once.

I was kidding, but I might be selling a heavily moded Kraton, I do live in Australia though.

Still no news for V5 I am little bit disappointed only a new vorteks is out for this moments...

Honestly the talion is a beast... My favorite rc by far. Can't wait for the update.
