Talion Serious dilemma

[Jester194]

I can't decide whether to get rid of tion or not, thinking about offering up a trade for comparable limitless cause I just have more fun building then using these things and limitless just seems more challenging

Ah come on Jester194, its so hard for us to decide or even wear your shoes without a pic. I wanna see her, what are you trading lol

I know what you mean. go for it you will end up doing it anyways

The limitless in my opnion is just so beautiful so If you plan on building it and not using it much then I would say thats a good route to go because then you have a bad mofo of a vehicle to look at and show off! Talion is pretty sick though too

Well it looks great! And I definitely approve of the apparent cat toy and cat tree on the left.

Looks brand new!!

Wow, she looks great I would not get rid of her. One idea can be to keep her and start the new build, once you start speed running (potentially) you may want to come back to some offroad fun, down the line I mean. Also another option is to build this into a speed build. I did one with wide arms Typhon diffs and other variations. It was fun, easy to speed drive although I only got her to 118mph, it was a blast. If you were to consider selling the Talion what would be your price? Have you spent a lot on her?

 

[Jester194]

I probably have about 1000 total into the talion...
Not to much considering I have way over that into my limitless, I just think I want to build another limitless
I got talion open box for 550.
Alluminum hubs were 100
Hr wing mount and swaybar mounts were 80
Wheels were 100
Alluminum steering and mounts were 100
Chassis skin was 40
2nd body was 50
Random parts probably another 150
I'm probably missing something but you get the idea

There's a new sentence to read: "I ONLY got my RC car up to 118 mph" Wow!!

 

[Jester194]

Oh yeah upgraded servo and hr arm and drag link, alluminum center brace mounts , alluminum fan, so yeah probably 1200 was what I spent on it
I'm shooting for 130 with this one but I'll probably crash it way before I get to 50

Dude, considering these guys are already going almost 100mph faster then that sheeeesh, is why I say it. Plus once you pass the 100mph barrier every run gets your threshold up like drugs lol. Right now for me the fun starts at about 125 to 130. Keep in mind in the speed run world those are mundane speeds, now anyways.

Lol on a speed run rig 50 is like a blip of the throttle. I have faith in you getting 60!!

Love that Streched typhon in the back. If you spent that much keep it, cause most people won't wanna give you what it worth. The limitless is perfect for 130, you'll get there fast, have you run her before? How is the steering, tight?

Everything on limitless is tight and set, I tried it once but I live in CT and it's freezing and crappy this time of year so I didn't hook up

You should think about getting some grps, if you haven't already. They'll hook a lot better than those hoons

I have grps I use hoons to screw around with and when car is sitting, the grp stick to table and I don't want flat spots lol

The grps didn't hook when I had the spectrum setup in it , ground is just to cold out...
