Hey!!! Great stuff. That's really cool. This is inspiration for my next build. Tlr on lean cousine. I agree with the heavy pig thing. Arrma buggies are so much heavier than any race brand. But I'm arrma dam boy so this is awesome. Great work. Btw i like my stock 6s typhon shocks better than the tlr. Not sure if you've compared both. But seems softer and almost more bite in the turns. Cheers

It makes sense why it's so heavy because it still utilizes all the beefy parts that you would expect from a typical ARRMA 6S (heavy driveshafts all around, tires need to go, the stock spektrum electronics are heavy and you should run racing 4S LiHV batteries like gensacearespammers Redline).

The stock shocks are just "soft" because lighter springs on the regular Typhon. The included "TLR" shocks on the Typhon TLR are better in every way as the CNC machined delrin shock pistons and shock guides are unique to pro racing kits. I have no complaints. "Softer" and "More bite" is more setup base than just the shocks - it's the sum of all of its parts. Also the stock springs on the Typhon TLR are unbalanced and too softs overall for its weight. Even with all of the weight taken off, it still weighs 300g more than my Tekno EB48 2.1 in full racing form.

Just imagine if arrma and tekno had a baby... Yeah I'm not the best at the track by any means. But I've never had a arrma take a podium either. So epic work.

Awesome man! Congrats. Id love to come out and see some racing sometime. Unfortunately for me I'm on the middle peninsula in Virginia and everything is such a long drive. Heck, my "local" hobby shop is a 45 min drive to Yorktown.
