Yeah I was looking at all videos and roller’s came with basically empty diffs i had planned on checking them out anyways, read the manual and was like dang 100k? Really?Word of note....
My TLRT "Roller" came equipped with thinner 7k/10k/7k recommended diff oils. As per the "Roller"version manual.
The RTR TLRT Manual clearly shows 10k/100k/10k is now factory installed. Way too thick for confined technical track driving.
Arrma clearly drifted away from the "Race Ready" theme, once they went to the RTR TLRT variant. I bet to simplify mass production, save some coin, using 10/100/10 across the board. Of course if racing any version of the TLRT, Roller or RTR, a racer will absolutely go over the diffs anyway. The TLRT needs a Sensored ESC/Motor to even try to compete with other Track kit brands. The TLRT is still a pound heavier than most any other true racer platform. Leaving the Plastic Fr and Rr braces in place is a benefit for sure. Lighter than alloy. Most track guys don't race with alloy braces. They want some added Flex across the chassis. A benefit for traction. Some will even loosen up the rear brace chassis screw to get even more added chassis flex. A tuning aid this way.
BTW, Arrma-RC.com is showing an October/2023 availability date for the Roller TLRT variant. The best way to buy the TLRT Typhon, as a Roller, IMHO.
I thought it was discontinued altogether.
The TLRT is not best for hard bashing and 6s packs. Buy the standard RTR Typhon if for just bashing. Maybe just upgrade to the TLRT chassis if anything. And then maybe the TLRT shocks.
The adjustable Pill Mounts are quite fragile and break easily if bashing. The Hinge pins are shorter as well. Been there. More a liability for plain bashing. A PIA if you ask me. Bashers will never use the Pill mount adjustability anyway.
