  1. Kraton 6s
  2. Notorious
  3. Talion
Doing a Kraton build, just on a Talion chassis, reason i believe this will make it a more balanced ride. So we start this build with the M2c talion chassis, a M2c Motor mount, and a rocket 1650kv motor running a 20t pinion. Max 6 esc. Will also have a power HD S25 servo. Hubs have the M2c locking hub nuts and also running full rubber sealed bearings throughout.

Rear diff has 10k oil in and also added the GKA end stop, awaiting more parts to arrive. But will be adding a M3 ackerman plate to the steering, and also added unpopable ball ends. Will update once more parts arrive ?

Ok abit more progress tonight, laid everything out, nothing is stuck down, did the battery tray mode, and then topped it off with the scrouched parts Carbon fibre Battery tray, added the M3 Ackerman and laid out the scrouched parts driveshafts ?

Killer build big fan of the 1650kv motor for a power plant. Mine with a 20t pinion is crazy power. Can’t wait to hear how it runs. Bash on ??.
 
Those gold wheels look way cool..!!! ?? (what did you paint them with.??)

I'm running that motor too, with a 20T and Max6 it's pretty insane..?
Can't wait to see how yours turns out..
Curious to see what body and color you choose..?

Ok so I've done some more on the build nothing to complex, new M2c hinge pins fitted rpm arms with M2c droop screws.

Also swapped rod ends for the Mojave rod ends they seem real chunky, so lets give them a whirl. Switch for the max 6 mounted.

Now just awaiting more parts

Can i claim a uk first for the M2c hinge pins? ?

Sorry, no....?

I noticed on your rear pins, you have the lock nuts facing forward, I thought the locknuts went to the outside..??
Your build is looking sick though with all the silver coloured alloy parts.???
