Thanks RCP for the Frankenstein Talion-Kraton, Thank you Sir!

I was not trying to start a new thread but I am close to running it so giving this a separate place. Some have asked how does it perform? Do not know yet...just getting if off the bench this week.

Thank you @Rcproponent for this rig. I sold my Felony due to rear-end performance and always wanted something to replace it. Although I said I would NOT buy any more rigs in 2023, I got this one for street bashing/drifting, I hope it fills the void of the Felony. If not...might be my first-ever speed rig although that's not my liking.

I have bought a lot of used RCs off the forum here. This is the second from RCP I've bought. As expected, he puts in the extra and always has very clean rigs. I always break each rig I buy down and this one is the first that I did not have to shim, have items installed wrong, or have to come up with a way to fix something. Man, he kills it was so easy to check over to the point the effort was really worthless and more of a piece of mind at this point.

He did all the heavy lifting in the link on purchase, so I only made a few surface changes:

• Radio Controlled fans, hot here in the south!
• My Amazon temp probs just to get an idea of the temp in passing
• Added the swaybars back and Arrma droop screws so it would not eat into the Kraton chassis
• PH tires to try, although RCP gave me two new sets of the wide Hoons
• Ebay front chassis brace RCP added a M2C brace to the rear only so I wanted to keep the look going
• Servo arm, mount, center diff mount, and cover added. I just prefer aluminum over plastic. Not required for parking lot bashing
• Damn PoloCreations. I have lights but they left out the package the headlights for the body so I only have the rear. Will install later
• Came with a 24T pinion. He swapped it for a 19T since street bashing is my goal
• Thx for the AVC 6110 receiver. Most know I love the AVC action

How does it drive....find out as soon as the rain moves out and report back!

Thx Boss.... ^^^

Still wet, but since we have spring-like heat, the streets outside the house were dry. I sped it up/down the street and set the trims. Warm ground so the tires warmed up well 6S full power holds a nice side drift well. Just in the 5min of running it, I can see these wide tires are what I thought the Felony would do but did not hit (to some aspects).

I will get a GoPro real soon to video. It's moving like the Infraction but has its twist to it & look. Low, extended chassis (Kraton), good firm suspension.... RCP got the receipt right!!! It's a well-balanced street-bashing rig. So, so pleased!
