If you don't mind me asking , who makes your dust gaurd and where did you get it ?Step 161:
Notice that the rear shocks on your Typhon -- perhaps also because of the addition of the M2C brace & motor mount -- cannot quite handle the weight, sagging a little and failing to spring back up fully when compressed.
Step 162:
Accurate representation of your shocks' current Bounciness Level:
Step 163:
Double-check if nothing else is 'sticking' by removing the shocks and wheels and letting the a-arms drop purely on their own weight.
Step 164:
Refill the shocks with fresh 60wt oil.
Step 165:
Do some research on stiffer springs, and eventually purchase some of these:

Step 166:
Install the new springs and find that they solve the problem -- on top of looking significantly more badass.

Thank you very much!No problem at all dude!
It's a Dusty Motors cover. They don't sell a specific cover for the Typhon but if you get their Universal Shroud size L, it'll fit on the Typhon pretty much perfectly.
You can buy directly from them (which gives you a few more options, mainly in terms of color) or from various resellers, both in the US and Europe.
Your body looks amazing! Yes, I said it.
Awesome thread @Sphexish. You dropped a lot $$$ on that build!
Well, the body paint has now fully cured and I just finished wrapping it in sexy black tape and piercing it with body clips, so now I can safely say:
"My body is ready!"

Hahaha. Don't remind me... Or at the very least -- if at all possible -- don't remind the wife...?
Seriously though, stuff like the Lunsford turnbuckles and M2C motor plate were fairly expensive and probably a bit overkill, but I'm trying to show restraint and not just replace everything with chunks of aircraft-grade aluminum. I've also discovered that a few well-placed shims or a cheap servo can already make a world of difference!
Upgrading your rig to better deal with what you choose to throw at it is loads of fun, but it's quite easy to go overboard.
I’ve already been down this road. I’ve got a Granite and BR that I’ve dropped ~$1000 into each. I own 10 RC’s, if my wife ever found that spreadsheet that I keep of all my costs, I would be sleeping in the garage with my RC’sHahaha. Don't remind me...
