Another corker weekend had playing with the toys . The kraton whilst jumping on 4s is dam near perfect , if I get it wrong though , too nose down and not enough in 4s to bring the nose up on the 6s pinion = a pop from the front and the tower had detached from the case , so longer bolts n nuts used , normally do this , but had not on the last rebuild . Anyway , she fixed and ready to rock , stripped the threads on the top suspension pin , so screwed some 4mm’s in . A selection from the weekend . Typhon 3s n radix 6 , oh and made a better lead set for when using the race packs on the kraton

It’s a bank holiday in the uk , so into the garden I went with ye oldie truck , 4s on the deck and 6s for the jumps , and I’m now addicted to jumping , I glued some plastic under motor and off she went , time n time again , zero issues , just a mountain of fun , rubbish skies for me pics and different angles tried , jumping towards me felt seriously sketchy indeed 😂

Some insired spannerin Razz, Ah cannae keep up wi yer productivity!
Grass is recoverin well, guessin that's doon tae you spendin so much time in the air! 😁
Hello fella , how the devil is ya ? We have had little rain except a few monster fast downpours which helped the lawn along 👍🏻 Plus this jumping lark is great fun 😆 I had saved up my hols at work , so had plenty of time off lately to mess with the rigs . But alas my daughter has gone back to uni and I’m back to 6 days a week till Xmas . So less messing about for the time being . I messed up my spektrum motor , so transplanting the radix 6 stuff back into the kraton for the time being . 👍🏻 Bash on dudes 🍻🍻🍻


One of my fav pics from summer 2022 , took by my daughter . At this point it had Mojave chassis and copperhead 2 on board

Oops , was in the garden , having time to just relax for 5 mins . Out came the truck and with slightly to much brake , she flipped forward and hit the edge of my patio , a deep thud it gave = a bent chassis . So a more relaxing transformation to a talion will now take place . Will spend a bit more time on the suspension than last , I have some slightly thicker oil now

sooooooooooo , i have a talion-ish as i wait for the parts , i also have a radix 6 , the 6 handles great , goes like stink too BUT , today i hit a stick of Rhubarb after getting launched by an apple 🤣 i got several apples trees built into my mystical track , and do you know what, i bust my front suspension 🤔 Christ i laughed , so now i know the difference between Arrma and corally , Arrma would have obliterated the rhubarb , corally tried to eat it .

should i get the TLR typhon, hmmmmmmm , birthday this week you know and i love buggies

not a fan boy as such, but i recon arrma tanks are worth it , i can hit the trees head on with the arrma and get away with it

decisions hey , what a great hobby
 
Sooooooo , it’s my birthday today , and although not a fan of Amazon , and with the vouchers I received , I have a brand new typhon 6s coming from Amazon eu at an incredible price . Will be my first ever arrma rtr , I have had 2 x kraton EXB rollers and built many different trucks from Jenny’s rc parts . How will I leave this one in one piece ? Who knows , anyways , got to wait a week , but that’s easy , lovely jubbly

Happy birthday fella, top gifting to yersel, sure ye'll have transformed it in no time! 😉

Thanks both , you know me too well 👍🏻 Yet we have never met 🥲 I have promised not to pull it apart till Xmas , will get the Mojave parts from Jenny’s and that will do me a treat over the Xmas break . 😁😁👍🏻😎
 
I appeared to have ordered a TLR chassis from Jenny’s , and so it begins , erm , at Xmas of course 😂
 
Well I say , Jenny’s sent me kraton EXB towers instead of the motor mount set , I did try to Ty-rap the motor to the tower , but the pinion wouldn’t reach 😁 a quick email sees the correct item on its way , and I get to keep the towers too 👍🏻 Now that’s cool . So whilst I wait for the typhon and Jenny bits, I had the radix belting around the lawn . I look forward to destroying the lawn with the talion n typhon 😂

If you are interested in selling those shock towers let me know.
 
So the buggy is here 👍🏻 Just as I’m heading to bed . Although the boxes were sealed , there was a hole in the arrma printed box and the inner linings were very ripped , look like it’s been dropped whilst upside down from a big height . The buggy though appears ok , thank gord for that , will check better tomorrow .

Motor mounts have arrived from Jenny’s , they sent 2 in separate packets ? So as soon as time allows , will get the talion built and my lawn totally destroyed 😂
 
So I just emailed Jenny’s , the day after they resent my first incorrect order . It looks to me that they sent the second motor mount instead of the typhon TLR chassis I ordered ? Fingers crossed they’ll get the chassis in the post soon
