After seeing all these great speed run builds I want to get in on the action. I have a Tallion sitting around that hasn’t seen much use ever since I got the Mojave. So my question is what would be the best way to turn a Tallion into a speed runner? I would like to run it with a gt body or some sort of body to cover the wheels. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
 
All 1/8 GT Arrma speed runners use Typhon or Limitless A-arms, so I would switch over to Limitless arms/suspension and then find a GT body from deltaplastikusa.com. For the LWB chassis, the 360mm-length 1/8 GT2 shells are the closest size, but they’re still a bit short. The Jaguar, McLaren, and Dome shells are the most common for stretched builds. There are a couple of options for body mounts; some use Limitless mounts, some use Mugen MGT7 mounts, and some rig their own.

There’s a lot more to go into, but how fast are you hoping to go?
 
Love to break 100 then go from there. Are the typhoon and limitless arms the same length?
I believe so, senton arms are about a half inch shorter if you snag those and the drive shafts. I did that when i turned a typhon into a senton. I'm doing a "lightweight talion speed build" but leaving it a talion. M2c lightened chassis, basherqueen carbon fiber bits where i can, and voltage hobbies center braces. I know it's not as strong as a beefcake build but they are better than plastic and lighter than m2c/just bash it.

You know what i'm stupid, i know they are the same. i used the infraction towers/shocks on my typhon arms and the shocks fit perfect.

I really like that mod looks good
On my stretched typhon I'm installing this it's good but if you need to fix diff you have to pull whole plate off to service whatever diff you need and you need stock or hot racing motor mount because my pps mount sits high..not my car in picture 😂

Xlx2/xlx those are more speed run only esc? I like to street bash also. I have my eye the mmx 8s esc 1650 setup. Plus seeing xlx2 catching fire hell no 😂

Pps mount was originally used for my 1515 motor and now I put this big ass 8s 1250 on mmx 6s esc. now I need new mount smh geez didn't do my homework

They are mostly 1/5 big,heavy rc escz. They are best for speed cause they are the most powerful and data logging is great.mmx8s is great esc for everything.half the size as xlx2. They fixed the fire problem with new software update

Yeah that's a perfect fit definitely, I'm trying to see if the M2c motor mount is same height at as front/rear bulkheads so my emp plate sits flush. Like I was saying description says stock or hr mount would work but cant find height dimension for M2c mount.
 
What's max pinion size on that got racing mount? My spur is 46 I run 20, 25, 27,29 and 34t pinion

think I've used 28/46 was max. Robinson makes a 40t that got me to 130mph.30/40 with center diff...NEW setup ran 130mph 1st run today then all problems.8 aug wires an 8mm plugs kept pulling apart.must figure something out🤷‍♂️.
Guess I'll try QS8 plugs.getting to be the most expensive parts are the ones needed to go faster🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

Yeah I think I might get a 40t spur
This pps mount goes 34t pinion but I want that emp brace 😂 to fit.
 
Hey folks. I am new to the hobby. 6 months in and definitely into speed runs. Has anyone found a good option for away bars? Currently on my Talion I am using Losi 8ight T 3.0 sway bars. Super thick ones. The front went right in but on the rear I used the TLR sway bar mounting points on RPM rear arms. Took some Dremel work but they are functioning well. Would prefer a cleaner option though. It runs straight as hell at 70mph though. Been trolling the forum since I got my first Arrma and have leaned a lot. Mostly that I don't know what I'm doing most of the time lol.
