Typhon Tuff Typhon Rides Again

[C Breeze]

Finally have fixed up my hybrid v4/v5 build; now it is mostly a v5 Typhon with questionable aluminum front lower arms and the black anodized TLR motor mount which IMO looks great. Picked up a v5 roller from the bay which provided the front and rear clips along with the TLR RTR body. Currently have it geared 14/50 with an E-Revo pinion that I had in my stash of parts. Considering the high Kv (2200 ) it should rip nicely on 6S even with a pinion that's smaller than stock. Also finally invested in a quality IR thermometer; this motor is only rated for 5S so I'll run it on 6S at my own risk. Should be fun!

Nice rig. Have a ball, man! Those white GRP’s look great on there.

Thanks! I increased the tuffness and street worthiness today by swapping over Infraction shocks and towers; I also found a plastic front lower arm and a slightly less bent hingepin in my parts stash. First run was fun and promising; going to try securing the rear of the body with Velcro tape. I shaved off the nubs from the rear body mounts to prepare them for the Velcro and they fit perfectly on existing holes in the tower.
