Typhon Typhon 8s conversion w/pics

[Mr.Duke]

Mr.duke is there any other buggy body options out there for typhons???.

And how the hell did you get 4s packs under that body in stock location????????

I don’t know if there are any alternative bodies out there that would be a direct fit. I’m a big fan of the stock Typhon body so I was determined to make it fit without compromise. I also didn’t do myself any favors by using the infraction towers either which lower the rear body posts even more. Once I got the idea in my head to make 8s fit under the stock body I wouldn’t let it go until I figured out a way.

I didn’t like how close the inside pack sat to the 34t spur so I abandoned the idea.

The project was more or less just a challenge to myself to see if I could do it.

Liberty tell me about that huge leopard????what are your thoughts on it???surely it doesn't come with 4mm motor leads an 3mm motor mount holes like the 40mm leopards????

Leopard 5692 (1340kv)
6mm bullets
8mm shaft
mounting holes 30mm apart with m4 screws
4-pole motor y-wind

It was amazingly smooth take off with almost no cogging.
Not sure about top speed as I never ran it above 60-70mph.

Not sure if it would compare to a TP Power motor but it was very nice.

Nice Typhon!

I see a lot of people running the Limitless/Infraction front splitter, is that a direct bolt on to the K6 or Typhon 6s chassis??? (any pics of the bottom)

 

[Niz55]

Some cutting and grinding needed to secure it. I have it secured to the 2 front bottom diff screws.
