Typhon Typhon 6s ready for truggie mode. Complete! Now it's a Hybrid!

[Armarookie43]

Just came in. I already have all the parts ready to go! Bearings too. She's Beautiful. Next to my recently purchased 2017 second hand mint condition Outcast 6s.

Just sold my 3s Typhon, so I'm down to two Outcasts 6s, one Typhon 6s and my Granite 3s. So the fleet is down to 4?.

Those Typhon tires would make good slicks pretty soon. ???

Is that good for speed runs? I'm thinking about throwing in the 20T pinion in there and see if I can hit 70mph ?.

Drove it yesterday for the first time and managed to flip it 0 times. That was not the case with the 3s one. That one I flipped a few times actually. The 3s bucks like a mule. The 6s feels like a bit more stable. I'm assuming it's the weight difference. I must admit though that the 3s has nothing to feel bad about when the 3s and 6s have the stock gears inside of them. They feel like they are equally fast. Hehe. I'll miss the 3s but will forget about it when I put the 20T pinion inside the 6s beast.

I know it's a bit silly, but this is my first upgrade (kind of). Hehe.

Truggie mode complete! Upgraded chassis braces, bearings. Cleaned out my diffs and added 50k front, 500k middle and 30k rear. Also upgraded to the HR motor mount. It fit very nicely with no play. Now I just have to fix the lower part of a shock that I didn't even know it was broken (in the rear). I'll say this = I'll never try removing factory Arrma loctite without heating. I messed up my hexes again and had to go to the LHS so that they could use the heat gun on the remainder of the hexes that I couldn't get out. Way too much time and tools wasted when you don't use heat. MX 2.8 tires look awesome ;
All the family together : I'm parting out with the Granite and most likely my second Outcast 6s too.

Nice collection. The trugified typhon is a beast for sure. I run mine with stock Talion shocks. Trugified it is similar weight to the talion. Some will run the kraton/Outcast front shocks in the rear too. Since you have an oc see you could give it a go and see what you think.

So install the front Outcast shocks in the rear? I could do that. Thanks.

OK installed the front Outcast 6s shocks in the rear of my Typhon. Looks good! Also put the Tbone racing front bumper. My Typhon 6s has turned into a pop wheeling machine with these bigger tires! Remember that I also put 500k in the middle, so maybe this has something to do with it? Also everything was going well on the first run but it sounds like my servo is stripped now? Wow. My outcasts has never given me trouble with that. I bought it new, so I can warranty it. I might just upgrade the mount and the servo itself honestly and keep the other as a spare? The question is, which servo should I get? It's mostly for bashing so I don't need the best of the best.
I also increased the ride height by adjusting the grub screws on the suspension arms. Is it me or the Typhon 6s seems quicker than the Outcast 6s and the Kraton 6s? Or is it an illusion because of the size? Hehe.

 

[Jimbobjr]

Oh yeah, its quicker and steers tighter.

So which wheelie bar and servo should I install?

Talked to Horizon Hobby and they are sending me a new servo. It will be here next Saturday. I'm happy.

Nice. The outcast 6s wheelie bar? Just the end, or the whole thing? Thank you. You have a part number or kink BTW for that? Thanks! Is this all I need? :

Great, they are taking care of you with a new servo. The stock servo is not terrible. I run them in my Muckraker and Tekno eb48.
Yes, the wheelie bar replaces the plastic cross thingy on the mounts. The link there has all you need.

I ordered one for my Kraton too. Thanks.

Wheelie bar looks good! After replacing the the stock diff fluids with 30k rear, 500k middle and 50k front this thing has come alive. It's a freaking beast with those tires too.
