Talion Time to upgrade my last stock rig

[calebgilmore]

I built a second talion out of spare parts and left it stock without any real idea of what to do with it. Well i finally decided to go lightweight and fast to see what i can do. I have the basherqueen towers/front plate/ackerman bar/steering bits/tower to tower brace to put on and the m2c lightened chassis. I also snagged some used CRCU hinge pin blocks from a friend to put on, and have a max6/hobbystar 4092 1730kv motor to pop in geared 26/46 to start. I'll send the shock bodies, motor mount, center braces (bought some voltage hobbies ones since they were on sale and looked a little lighter than the beefcake m2c/jbi sets and this is already on the speed chassis so any bad hit might not fare well for it anyways), servo mount, and hubs to get anodized black. I weighed the talion stock with hot racing hinge pin blocks as a starting point to see what happens. I'm going to guess the max6/4092 will negate any weight savings but it will still be a lot lighter than my m2c'd out talion. I may take weights as i go between the lighter parts when i start putting it together if anyone is interested to see what it looks like weight wise between the stuff i upgrade.

Sub 10 lbs? That's a nice light rig! Would be a blast to rip around a little dirt track. Carbon fiber towers next?

Also, what body is that?

Yeah all the basherqueen carbon fiber bits to go on it. That's stock weight right now, so not too bad. Hoping to stay there after adding the max6/4092 hahahahaha. It's just a clear talion body. The new ones come with window masks even! I was going to try to use the stickers as a mask til i saw it came with them.

I love the car (and the cat). I also run the 4092 in my talion, total beast.

All parts on and with the weight saving/beefier supports it only weighs an extra 8.6 ounces!
