Just when I thought I was done……l

[BudUMfan]

I got the workbench. Tools. Know how. Guidance. But then my wife said just friggin get it and that’s the LAST ONE. This will be driven on flat ground. Doing small jumps. But I don’t know anything about how to fix it, but you guys do!. My wife is a saint.

I SERIOUSLY need to really try and not break it. But I’m m jacked. It’s huge. 1/10, 1/8, 1/7 and now a 1/5 scale. Plus a TLR and 3S Typhon. All it cost me was a ticket to Idaho for the wife

Congrats! That is a very nice rig! Might want to research threads on removing the lid. Just read one the other day where evidently you need a Harvard engineering degree to pull it off.

Such a cool desert buggy. Love it. With two 4s 11000mah (custom lipo tray required iirc) it’s a land missile.

Just pull the two body post clips and flip the lid up. Easiest truck I own to work on.

Luckily I figured it out without the Harvard degree. I feel like my post about this subject was more information than was necessary...

Thanks guys. I know the front and rear has some plastic parts that break but of course they have upgrades available. I’ve really wanted one last rig before I’m banned by the boss. Buying a Talion. Fireteam, 3S Typhon, TLR Typhon and the work bench and then a 1000 rig? I wanted one with a light kit already installed and it’s just friggin massive.

@Dan B. what am I looking at as my first upgrade? Or anyone that has one. I couldn’t afford the batteries. Lol. But I do have a couple of 3S batteries just to run it. This is pretty damn expensive addiction…. But it’s worth the money. 55th Bday present and I had to make a deal to get it. Heck…. It’s only money!

 

[Smilinbri]

Heck…. It’s only money

Yup! Can't take it with ya and why leave it for others to spend on stoopid stuff!!

Nice score, uh she is coming back right? You didn't mention if it was a one way ticket.

 

[RedOctobyr]

Oh wow, that is awesome! Can't wait to see pictures (and video!) after it arrives. The 1:5 monsters seem so cool. Enjoy!

Doom…. I need a warning! I just choked on my water to avoid spitting it out on 3 32” monitors. That was funny! Round trip. I’ll probably accidentally buy another rig when she’s gone.

One last thing. 4S batteries that won’t break the bank and fit right in. I’m looking at getting 6. Remembered my TLR ribs on 4S also. So a killer deal and will fit both rigs. First Losi

Yea, @Doom! does that to me all the time!

 

[BIG TUNA]

Lucky Guy!! I really am digging the 1/5 scales more and more. Congrats on the purchase. I really want/ need one!

I always say that my kids can have my house but they can't have my money

 

[Hammer Down]

Had my eye on one of these for a couple years.. congrats!

My dad has always said “It’s only money… you’ll make more tomorrow.”

One word of advice is don't jump it over five feet in the air and don't run it in below 35 F temps.

Thing nose dives like no tomorrow if you're not paying attention.

Really???

I finally got my diploma from Harvard and I can finally work on the truck .

I'm a huge fan of the DBXL and larger scale rigs in general. If I can find a roller for a decent price in the near future I just might go for it. Either that or an O8S..

 

[BudUMfan]

Oh I reached out to @Dan B. I know he’s the king of wrecking, fixing and driving this monster. I did watch AJJAMSTUDIOS about every video about this. I need battery suggestions and know not to send this one. Cracking my hubs first time is not what I’m shooing for. And it’s winter here so I’ll love staring at it…. Thanks guys. I wanted this first but my LHS said… The EXB Talion is your “speed” and it’s big and fun. They DO know me. Now I got myself a bigin. It’s friggin huge…. and of course I’m compensating.

My LHS had a dbxe that needed wheels and body panels only for $550

Wow that was a quite the deal. From what I've seen on ebay, the average cost of a full body panel set is about $150-170.

I paid $750 for an rtr dbxle red/gray.
