Big Rock Big Rock 3s BLX WIDE

[HondaJJN]

Started my build on my Big Rock. First thing I wanted was to widen the stance. Talon arms were added. Then 12mm hex and the HR Racing 10mm hub extenders. Then I added the Duratrax Hatchet C2 belted wheels and tires 2.8. Loving it so far . Next I want to add shocks. Let me know what you think.

I've heard big bore shocks are good I'm probably gonna upgrade to those

How wide is that beast!?

15 inches. That is the first time I actually checked it.

Looks sick! Are you going to upgrade your servo to turn those tires? Or does it work fine with the servo in it?

 

[thrillhouse]

Looks super cool. 2 questions: how does it handle? What’s the story on the talion a arms? Do you have a part #?

The tires are only slightly bigger, but yes that is part of the plan

Do the Talion arms fit on the chassis or did you have to modify the chassis? Did you have to get longer drive axels? So many questions sorry but I'm just considering doing this to my typhon.

They are actually Typhon arms

Don't worry, your not the only one, I do the same thing.

No prob, Typhon/Talion same thing in my book they both start with a "t"

Handles really well. Definitely needs a shock up grade.

Yeah, a popular shock upgrade is Typhon 6s shocks. Its around $100 but you can get the Mojave shocks for cheaper. I guess Jennys rc doesn't have the front shocks but they were $20 for front and $20 for the rear shocks. They are around the same dimensions but I don't know if they will fit. Typhon 6s Front Shocks
Typhon 6s Rear Shocks

I see you can get the Wheels in 14mm. Are the hub extenders necessary for this wheel?

Not necessary but I wanted to go up to the 17mm hex

The stock ones on the big rock leak a good bit.

Oh I thought you went from 14 to 12 for more tire variety.. You mentioned 12mm in the first post is why I was curious.

Yes and no. I went to 12mm hex and added the 12 to 17 adapter
