SO I'M A KNUCKLEHEAD..... TALION EXB BUILD THREAD......UPDATES TO COME

[norcalsc]

Lemme start by saying i really wanted a Talion EXB, I have a Kraton EXB that is seriously one of my prized possessions. rather than buying a complete rig RTR as they come, (I didn't want the Spektrum electronics) I decided to start from scratch and build and buy it piece by piece. i could have bought a roller for $499, but what's the fun in that? I already have a 1/8 ESC/motor combo that I need to put into something so I started ordering parts and will update this thread as I'm able to start putting it all together. I think my skills at this point or lack thereof will make this a bit of an adventure to keep me busy for a while.... wish your boy luck

Talion body, painted it ....it didn't come out as clean as I would have likes but I got to run it complete last night for the first time on 4s. I will be posting some completed photos maybe this evening if I have the chance. I must admit it looks awesome next to my kraton exb

Looks great, love the paint scheme!

appreciate it man it was the first one. I learned quite a bit, I made quite a few mistakes I won't repeat next time i paint a body
