Any good and important HopUp advice for V4 2019 Talion?

RPM arms?

Does the V4 need Alu chassie brace like the older ones, because V4 already got Center bar in Alu

Front Bumber ?

Better Servo and radio?

If you are going to run in the cold, RPM arms are a good idea. You still want aluminum chassis braces and you even might want to get rid of the center bar. The best mod you can get is the M2C chassis. If you like big air then consider shock towers as well. I don't run a front bumper on mine but I don't really have an issue with front impacts. If you are a new driver it wouldn't be a bad idea.
 
It’s a nice car. As stated above the m2c chassis is a great upgrade if you plan on jumping it more than 6 or 8 feet high. My option on what makes this car special is it’s weight. Out of the box suspension and electrics are dialed perfect. With everything pushed back in the chassis it flies like a bird, nice and flat. Often thought of changing my Kraton to this chassis...I run the t bone typhon bumper on the front. I notice when I jump at the park it was taking huge divits out of the grass. The bumper keeps that to a minimum. Also have an extra wing mount on hand, it’s the only thing I’ve broken on mine. Thought about changing to the longer Kraton/Outcast mount, it has a little more give, but I’ve broken plenty of those. The low wing looks pretty cool so I may just leave it. have fun!
 
Thank you all alot.

RPM arms is on way.

RPM also got rear wing mount i have seen today. Maybe i need these too?

The Car will get alot airtime, i need then Alu braces soon i believe.
M2C chassis i will also have. Next year.

What about Bearings?

RPM Arms and better Servo with better Radiosystem is first ones to Change.
I have order them now :)

Kraton and Talion 6s is almost same cars ? Anyway you like the Talion better ?
Then im happy i Choose the Talion maybe.
Talion got light weight wheels and different gearing compared to Kraton right ?

Is there more different parts when compare the Talion 6s to the Kraton 6s?
Shocks same or lower in Talion maybe ?

Shock towers, shocks, hexes, stubs, hubs, chassis layout, center dogbone to name a few

A stock Kraton will seem a little front heavy when you drive it right after the talion. It is also wider and heavier. My Kraton doesn’t really resemble a stock rig any more. It is a complete monster. 4985 hw combo, m2c chassis and my home made upgrades made it into a completely different truck and much heavier. My talion has some upgrades as well but is still near its stock weight. It doesn’t need anymore power for what I do with it.
 
Bicket wow, i did not know that Talion is so different to Kraton.
Arrma have done both Cars well then, not just change the body and wheels between these two cars.
i need check the part numbers carefully now.
Because i did believe that all Kraton parts fits Talion also before.

Jimbo link to your Monster, i need see your Beast , pictures please. 4985 combo must be totally crazy :)

Here is couple pictures
My new Talion V4 :)

I love this RC Car :)
 
I have seen the Kraton now.
God damn that motor size is SICK. WOW.

Must read about Talion and Outcast also you link to.

I have been driving my Talion today twice.
I dit change to the speed Pinion and program the ESC to punch 5, its 4 stock.
The car is crazy :)
I believe i did about 60-65 mph today , very cold outside today. Only 3celcius +
Couple nice jumps , also couple bad landings, and one hard crash,
I crash it very hard, i check the car and nothing happen. I did believe i bend the total car and that lot of parts got broken, NO
Very durable car i must say.
The battery connectors did release also, it was very HARD-bad crash. :(

Im so happy nothing happen anyway to the Car, i was lucky, not easy drive 6s and speed gearing when it is Winter, almost frost here now.

I took couple pictures after i drive it today

Im very happy with this car.
I will drive it couple more times before i start mount hop ups,.

i Need also buy one 16-17t M1 Pinion , something middle . Between stock and high speed pinion.

Great handling, great power, Great durability.
Arrma is my Favorite RC Car brand now.


No more Losis and others for me anymore.
I will only Buy Arrma Cars in future :)

I want the NOTO 6s Stunt truck now also :) Do some Wheelies then :)
 
I think run a 19t in the talion now and had a 15t in there all summer. You can gear it up pretty good in winter time temps and if you run in grass (looks like you do:)) it’s a lot shorter. Glad you didn’t break anything. The stock truck is pretty tough, single wheel hits at speed or from high up are not good. I think I broke a wheel the other day. Notice a crack but it’s not too bad and the hex has not stripped yet. Cool weather is great for electrics but plastic, not so much.

Thanks for the kind words for my builds.

19t is too fast for me now in the very beginning i Believe :) I need all options before i do that :)
I only have 3s lipos, i need drive 6s because of this too.
And i indeed that Cold weather is great for electronics. Bad for plastics.
I have no issues drive 20t now when it is winter :)
Problem is that i need alot options before i go bigger than 16t now. I have order 16t M1 pinion now.
I must say that this is the most tough rc car i ever drive. Im very impressed about this Arrma V4 6s rig. Very durable car.
Have drive alot nitro 1/8 buggies and Truggies before.
Brushless is so much better. Charge and drive, no issues like Nitros, need tuning altime and service.

Im very impressed of your car and part build skills. Very nice

About the the hard bad crash earlier today:

Now after i have check everything five times atleast i found just little smal damage, The front Alu Hinge pin holder is bent about 2mm.
So nothing bad. Easy fix.
I have now Tbone Front bumber on way. Also rear RPM plastic chassie cover plate, that little thing.
Then i will buy the rest in end of January 2020. Need save money also to Celebrate Xmass :)

Im desperate have front Spoiler, did drill and put one old TRX front spoiler , quick fix, need have this one week more before my
Tbone arrives.
i believe this quick fix can save my chassis this week, i will drive it daily now 1 or 2 times.
So much fun. Great car.

My Talion Looks crazy and ugly now with this old randon TRX front spoiler i found in basement today HAHA
its not straight either, i drill the new holes quick in 30 seconds :)

This is shame.
Anyway Tbone front bumber- i have order that today , this is just for couple days :)
I need take off that hinge pin holder and hammer it straight tomorrow.
Then change also them to better. GPM , Hot Racing or something.
I will order these and front+rear shocktowers then in January 2020 and couple more things.
