Talion v4 which my 7 year old son has christened “FireStorm” which is “his”…that’s what I tell him anyway…

It’s second hand and a bit of a Facebook bargain - saw it on Marketplace and it was just down the road. The upgrades on it alone were worth the asking price.

I have a Kraton as well and the Talion is far more planted and predictable - which is why my 7 year old can handle it.

So far:
  • Tactic TX/RX
  • ScorchedRC titanium chassis
  • ScorchedRC titanium shock towers
  • M2C shock stand offs
  • GPM front and rear braces 🤮…which are fine for now
  • GPM 🤢 hinge pin holders front and rear
  • ScorchedRC titanium droop screws
  • Hobbywing Max6/1650 combo
  • Schumacher tyres and a brand of wheels whose name escapes me
  • RPM arms all round
  • Hot Racing hubs all round - which were a second hand bargain
  • RPM bumper

That thing looks sharp… I particularly like the front front hinge pin cover .. didn’t know rpm made those. Also like how the body is trimmed up front.. looks great. ✌🏻👍🏻
 
Man, that is a SWEET ride! AND you got it at a bargain to boot!!! I paid full sticker for mine and it will be hundreds more just to get the parts you have!
Well done, man, well done! Can’t wait to see some video’s posted!!
 
Couple of minor updates today:

I tried some Proline Badlands with the Talion earlier on but I don’t think they liked the Hot Racing hubs at all - I think they were contacting and binding - they were mega hot after a quick run, so put the other wheels back on.

Replaced the GPM braces with some shiny CRCU versions - which are a couple of grams lighter.

Proline has some deep hexes in their wheels, I had to run wider hexes on my ET48.3 to keep them from rubbing on the hubs.
 
Cheap fan setup installed to help with the temps on the motor - BigFoot Customs UK mount/shroud and just a cheap 10K RPM fan.

How do you like the HR front hubs? Did you have a lot of wear on the stock ones or slop?
The stock ones were shot and needed to be replaced - these came up on Facebook marketplace for a really good price, and here we are.

They work great with the Katars but rub like buggery on wheels like Backflips to the point where it isn’t useable.

It’s so clean for a secondhand car. Did you clean it up or did it come like that? Love the orange wheels. This is the first time I’ve let myself really have a close look at a Talion… or any 6s car. It is very nice!

Id better stop looking. I’m happy with 3S cars right now and I don’t wanna ruin that. I can’t justifiably afford 6s yet. But, just out of curiosity, do the used rigs run around half the cost of new…less or more?

Damn it looks nice though. Ugh, I’d better start saving and planting the ‘I really need a 6s car’ seeds with my wife 🤔 you know I hadn’t thought of going used to lower the initial cost. And there’s a few of those usually on the local Facebook marketplace here. Great. Now I’m going to start dreaming of 6s cars.

Errr no, it needed a proper wash down and clean. But it was in very good condition.

There are some great deals to be had. This one was a steel at £400 (around $290 USD). The titanium chassis and Max6/1650 electronics are worth about £300 alone.

Lol okay that seems more right, it being filthy. I didn’t realize it had a titanium chassis, I missed that part.

Hmmm…I thought your money was worth more than ours (US)? Am I looking at that wrong? Isn’t £400 around $650 or so?
