I noticed too that the EXB braces don't have the notches in the bottoms..šŸ˜‰
And they are soft as a fresh dog turd. No way theyā€™re 7075.

@Rcproponent did you consider the lightened M2C speed chassis?

šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£ yes I didnā€™t like how soft the exb braces are..

I did think of the speed chassis. And in fact got one for the ā€œcarbon buildā€ on my typhon. šŸ˜ i absolutely love the speed chassis. With all the cutouts and how light it is... simply beautiful. šŸ‘šŸ»šŸ‘ŒšŸ»
 
I was also let down by the lack of notches on the EXB braces, but it turned out to be somewhat useful.
When you want to remove the center diff, the thin plastic braces let you pull that out without an issue, but the thicker braces are in the way of the rear dog bone, so you cannot just pop the center diff out by just remove the 4 screw above the diff. so what i do is remove the rear screw that holds the rear brace and tilt the brace to the side a bit, and that allows me to remove the diff.

With the notches in place, i couldnt tilt the brace, and i would also have to remove the font screw of the rear brace, which is a loctite screw...
 
I know it's @Rcproponent's thread and his build is tens times nicer than mine, but hope it's ok if i'll post here my somewhat-EXB talion v3 that was recently refreshed.

I've put in:
EXB chassis, braces, ackerman plate, front upper suspension mount and the center diff with 20k oil and 1x face setup (which feels similar to my previous 100k diff).
Also some V5 arms & radio box

Of course itā€™s ok šŸ‘ŠšŸ»šŸ‘šŸ» 20m center eh? How you liking that ?? What tires are those ?
 
20m center??? did i say that? :)
Sorry, my mistake. edited my post. meant 20k!, which due to the slip limiting plates feels like 100k on the normal diff.

Those tires are the Louise T-APOLLO, which sells in the us under the name DuraTrax Badger.

Very similar size to the stock Katar's, only slightly wider.
They are a decent all-around tires. i keep my Katars only for loamy dirt and grass. those are for everything else.

Beautiful yes. But is it better than alluminum?
Yes, I believe so.

the word ā€œbetterā€ could mean many different things. I feel like it is better for sure..stronger? Maybe not, especially if weā€™re talking M2C beefcake. But hey, with a crash back warrantyā€¦ šŸ¤”

Well, I started by just going to change out the bumper to the new talion exb bumper ( had the kexb one on it) and I just kept pulling parts outā€¦ I havenā€™t decided if Iā€™m going to do the m2c towers.. I love the Basherqueen ones so Iā€™ll probably keep ā€˜em and throw the m2c ones back in the bin.

The chassis was tweaked at back on the talion exb chassis.. so m2c is going on (which is why Iā€™m putting the rpm arms on) and Iā€™m gonna look for my talion stubs and blocks so I can put it back to talion width.
