I'm in the process of rebuilding my Talion after the esc fire. Rebuilt using some ideas of others and trying out some new things I had ideas for.
Specs so far:
Castle extreme esc(mamba monster with cap pack). Bolted 2 esc mounts together with metal spacers in between to raise esc. Had to do this so I could mount the esc sideways above center chassis brace/driveline.
Castle 2200kv motor
15t pinion
Dual fan on motor(not wired yet)
XO-1 chassis brace used as tower to tower brace. The way I had to mount the esc I couldn't fit the square tube brace others use. Will probably change to the square tube or carbon tube once I get a new combo.
Diffs all shimmed with drillbit mod and Thomas's external diff shim front/rear.
Savox 1268 servo
Associated Rival front bumper modified to fit.
Tekno Orange springs front/back with inner tube shock covers(just like the look and doesn't interfere with performance)
Proline raptor body for the yeti. Used heat gun and screwdriver handle to widen the rear a bit. Otherwise would have had to cut more from bodys rear, over shock area.
Modded wing to fit body
Roof rack with lightbar on body.
4 Red led's in rear of body
2 white leds in bumper
For a total (6 white + 4 Red) 10 lights
Boom racing bearings all around, decided to run these because I haven't seen anyone else try them. So far not happy. They come with enough bearings to do 1 diff, 2 hubs and diff housings(so need 3 kits for almost complete bearing replacement). And the kits have two incredibly small bearings that look like they don't fit anywhere and Aistees cannot tell me where they are supposed to go. Next test, Boca Bearings.
Right now has WC1028 tire/wheel combo on it. Also have Duratrax Posse truggy set and a set of badlands on the way
Granite BLX wheelie bar modified to fit
Planned changes :
New combo, right now leaning towards Hobbywing Max8 or Max6 and leopard 4082 1600kv
More traditional tower to tower brace
Bearings to replace steering rack bushings on the way
Have to wire up motor fans to receiver box
Make up my mind to run lights off extra 2-3s Lipo or 9v battery. Then either buy 9v battery housing or Lipo voltage alarm and wire the lights up
make new mud guards(cut up the last ones to mount lights in bumper)
Still thinking about trying out a clear Cen Colussus shell
More that I probably can't remember
