Thought I should start a build thread on my typhon v2. Now my new v5 kraton will be my primary off road basher I will be keeping the typhon on the black stuff and work it up to a speed run car.
I picked it up a couple of years ago as a *very* well used v2 that had been used for drag with a huge pinion and locked central spur.
Fast forward and after a full rebuild I have ran my first two packs through it without it breaking or constant thermal cutout.
Mods off the top of my head so far
*v5 spectrum electrics
*HR central spool
*motor cooling fans
*metal braces
*rebuilt, smimmed and tuned diffs 60/locked/40
*25kg servo
*hr servo bracket
*hr servo arm
*fast Eddie's bearings throughout
*19t pinion with bigger up my sleeve
*hr suspension mounts
*tbone front and rear bumpers
*tires tires tires... on going
I've tried not to just throw as much metal at it as possible because a) it costs a lot b) it adds weight c) i.will probably grenade it off a tree or similar anyway
So this is the start of my quest for triple digits and starting a thread might give me the motivation i need. lets see what happens...
