Typhon Spare parts dual motor street build Kraton/Typhon/Limitless

[Matt05]

The ovonic battery came in, as well as the Hot Racing sway bar covers and Limitless shocks from Jenny’s. Realized when I went to install the rear sway bar the Limitless arms require a longer sway bar so I will have to order that. I think I’m going to also order a low profile Talion wing mount and then cut down the Kraton wing. The battery came with some stickers that were a similar terrible green so I slapped them on to give it some more character. I had a chance to rip around with it a little bit last night and it has tons of power with the 19t pinion. I forgot my temp gun so I’m not sure how hot it was getting but I could still hold onto the motor after I got done. Hope to take it out again this weekend and maybe get some video.

Turned out the berries @Matt05!
Been keepin an eye on yer progress as ah've a very similar pile of spares tae be used!
Ye could always reprofile the end plates of the wing if yer happy with the rest of it. Ah done it recently where i wanted the width to match the body but thought the end plates too big.

That looks slick! I think I’ll put a low profile mount on and trim the sides up something like that. I was just looking at mine before I saw your post and was thinking about doing something to the sides to stream line them.

Well I broke it

Not entirely sure when/how it happened, but an easy enough fix. It was doing donuts pretty good and then it was spinning on it’s lid. Flipped it over and started to drive it back and noticed it wasn’t turning so good. Before it broke the turning radius was pretty lack luster so I think I need to do the East Tactics shim mod regardless. Still a whole lot of fun!

Got the broken link fixed up, installed the correct length rear sway bar, slapped a low profile wing mount on and trimmed the wing up to accommodate. I’d like to get a little more creative like @Acidsnow did but my creative juices just aren’t quite flowing with it yet.

Ran it around a bit on a dead country road. It seems to track pretty dang straight and moves out for stock electronics. I ordered a skyrc gnss, so hopefully next weekend I can get some actual data and hopefully some video to go with it. Not expecting to break any records besides my own.

 

[Matt05]

Well, haven’t had a ton of fun with this thing yet, not sure if speed running/street bashing is really my thing. So let’s do a build!

PPS FTW brother!! Can't wait to see how it comes together

 

[Matt05]

Slowly but surely making some progress! No one makes a GT body for a Typhon xl that I’ve found so I had to improvise a bit, but I’m pretty excited with how it’s turning out. Need to do a final clean trim but that’s pretty close to how it will look. I think I need a few more parts to officially call the front splitter mounted, but it is cut and fit onto the Kraton chassis. Pretty slow going, but I’ve got 5 more months of terrible weather to get it done.

 

[Matt05]

Got the front splitter finish mounted, body mounts figured out, and body trimmed a bit more and fitted. Not totally in love with the rear body post set up so I may end up making a few more holes in the body. Wish I had more time to really make some progress but oh well. I also think I need to either find, or figure out how to make a wider wing.

 

[Matt05]

Got some ambition and made some more progress on this thing. Before I go any further, yes I am a super experienced speed runner and I plan to smash everyone’s records with this.

Jk jk. I believe someone else on here recently did something similar and I know Raz did with a Limitless and I just wanted to try it. I haven’t really found a ton of love for street bashing and thought maybe this build would get me into it a little more. Obviously used the PPS dual motor mount, the second esc is mounted to the chassis using a flipped stock esc mount.

I’d like to find a smaller receiver box, but I haven’t gotten that far. Next on the list is to cut up a sheet of carbon fiber to make up some side skirt/trays whatever you like to call them and that is where the batteries will call home.

Again, not trying to go super duper fast, or break any records, merely entertaining/challenging myself.

Are you still doing the build? You have my interest

I actually turned it back into a regular xl Typhon and sold it. The dual motor set up I still have and will be going in a different chassis.
