Typhon Hybrid build, (kinda already built lol)

[Rcproponent]

Figured I’d share this as I was upgrading it today. I never really did a build thread on it so now is the time…

This thing is basically a typhon with senton towers. It also has Mojave arms and Kraton hubs and stubs.

I can’t remember which diffs are in it …

Breakdown:

Swb
Mmx 1515 2200kv
Jx 46kg servo
Sr315 / DX5 pro
Robinson racing 50T spur and 16T pinion
Badland buggy tires
M2C center braces
M2C zrs shock system
Basherqueen senton towers
Basherqueen top plate and Ackerman
Basherqueen steering plates
Exb servo mount
Exb Mojave turnbuckles
Mojave arms

Nice build brother

Got it all together… now for the sit on my shelf and wait for programming stage…

Got aluminum hinge pin blocks put on
Castle 1515 setup in
Tires on … ready to rip

Oh .. and we cannot forget the @3d-rc.myshopify.com wing mount

I like it. But I prefer the Typhon body because it doesn't get damaged during bad landings etc. Hehe. I want to put Outcast 6s arms and driveshafts on my truggified Typhon so that I can put the backflips 4s tires for better ground clearance hehe. I already have the 6s Outcast hubs on my Typhon.

love that build! I just finished a Typhon SWB build woth the Mohave arms, Typhon shocks and towers, heavy duty springs and oil, running Mohave wheels. What chassis is that, the kraton or Mohave? I had it set up on the kraton chassis but changed my mind last minute, now I’m thinking of switching it to the longer kraton chassis.
how’s it hand;e cornering?

Nice build man!

 

[dure16]

Nice. How do you like the MMX?

 

[BashingBrian]

It all looks very familiar

Who's hinge pin blocks ?? what brand ??

 

[Woodentop]

Real nice build man. I shamelessly copied @BashingBrian for my frankenstein 6s mini ripper build. Has evolved a bit now with mojave wheels but is still my go to. Will shred with that 2200 castle for sure.

I decided I didn’t like the Christmas scheme.. and had to swap stuff around…

leopard 4282 1680kv with corally 185 torox esc.

I had to do things a bit different to make this motor work… seeing as it has only M3 mounting holes I had to use m3 screws where the normal m4’s for the stock Arrma motors are. There is still quite a bit of meat in the countersink area.. I (think) it’ll be alright as long as I don’t launch this thing 40ft in the air

So you're using Typhon shocks? How tall are the Senton shock towers compared to Typhon shock towers? Do they raise or lower ground clearance compared to Typhon shock towers? I'm interested in a similar build. I'd want Senton or Kraton towers so I could have body mounts for an MT body.

 

[BashingBrian]

@Rcproponent ..
I'm shocked that the Leopard motor only has M3 bolt holes.!!!

So was i!! It’s massive to only be M3 bolt !

 

[BashingBrian]

Can you not re-tap it to M4 ??

 

[Rcproponent]

Can you not re-tap it to M4 ??

maybe.. I’ll have to buy a tap.

 

[BashingBrian]

I see you've just ordered a TpPower motor what's that going in ??

 

[Rcproponent]

I see you've just ordered a TpPower motor what's that going in ??

Haven’t decided yet lol, what do you think it’ll be good for ?? Bought a 1700kv thinking it might be good for a Kraton / outcast … maybe talion but might be too low of kv

 

[BashingBrian]

Kraton or Outcast would be good, but if it were me I'd put it in the smallest vehicle you have The last one I fitted was in the Sketer
Shame you just put the Leopard into this build above..!!
I've just bought another one too, it's for my latest project ( not an Arrma though )

On a side note, it's funny but Leopard motors are quite hard to get over here, it's actually easier for me to get TP..!!

 

[IRONWORKER]

I’ve run 4282 Leos for a couple of years now, both the 1680 & 2000KV. At 1st i would pull the motors down, drill & tap to M4, eventually i got lazy & stopped…. Use quality 12.9 M3s & you will have zero issues.

From my experiences they are very good motors, loads of power & cool running.
