Hey all,

I recently purchased a Talion EXB. Not a fan of the stock body. I have an erevo 2.0 and like the body the cage system Traxxas uses is really great. On my erevo the body is in great shape after almost a year of hard bashing, so I got thinking….

I got the ProLine Erevo Brute body. I bought an RPM wing mount, erevo carbon fiber wing (it’s not carbon fiber, but looks like it) and the erevo body support and body reinforcement.

I did some modification to the Traxxas cage system, and was able to keep most of it. Raised the body posts. Still using clips. I drilled some new holes in the wing and attached it.

the cage system adds a ton of protection. It’s really functional. Take a look at the pics and let me know what you think. I’m very happy with the results.

You really don't need the Erevo Wing, the stock one works fine. I just used the Erevo wing because I had an extra one and liked the look.

Here is the parts list:

if it holds up close to as well as my erevo body (I used gorilla tape on the inside on that) I’ll be very happy.
 
Looks very nice.
Yes, let us know how it holds up with that cage, interested myself.
From experience, gorilla tape is useless on the inside (or outside), might prevent scratches from the inside which are never an issue for myself.
 
I might go with shoe goo/dry wall tape. It’s just such a pain to apply.
I once said I would never shoo goo another body but came to the conclusion that there is no better way to protect the body. Gorilla tape just doesn’t cut it in my opinion. Shoo goo becomes one with the body.

Hey...wait a minute! That looks familiar!! LOL. Awesome job...that color is killer. Wish I could paint like that. Gotta look into those body supports for mines. You got that thing sitting nice too!!!
 
I just updated the post with a parts list.

I'm a noob painter, it's really easy. Just watch a few youtube videos and you will be fine.
 
One last thing - you will need to switch body posts. I believe I used the ones that came with the Talion EXB. Otherwise, you can buy the Outcast body posts.
 
Lol
I have that same body
But it’s on my erevo :)
I guess I should try putting it on my Talion also
I def like this body more than the stock Talion
