Typhon V4 6s eBay roller Build for my 9yr old

[xmartin216x]

Just purchased a Typhon V4 6s roller from eBay for my son. i got it for $250 and i already have a blx185 and the blx 2050kv motor esc combo from my Kraton build and purchased a eco power wp110 servo to replace the stock arrma 15kg servo, i figured i would use the stock transmitter and receiver (i like the throttle limiter on transmitter especially for my 9 yr old) although i don't like the lag of the throttle or the plastic steering wheel. In this build i will be installing several M2C racing parts, Goliath chassis, center braces, and shock towers. I plan on truggifying it eventually cause i have most of those parts as well.

Still need a body and wheels/tires.
Planing on the original wheel Katar B found them on amazon for $30 a pair.

Pretty awesome! I started my v4 typhon build like this as well. I got proline badland buggy tires they’re awesome! And I have a set of talion katar Ts for when I truggify !

Very cool! I find it enjoyable to buy rollers and build them out.

what thickness of diff fluid is everyone using in typhon 6s for some bashing? i use 50,000 front, 500,000 center, and 20,000 in rear of my kraton 6s and that seems to be perfect for that beast

Did you paint the body? Looks awesome! I think you’re gonna love those tires but I’d run a bead of glue around them before your first run, on the outside at the least.

yes i painted the body got a few blemishes but it looks sweet i like it and so does my boy, i do like these tires alot i see proline is now venting these as well 1 hole per tire in the tread not in rim. you can see hole in front right tire (picture above)
i ran a 20t pinion last night for about 5-10min and my motor was a little hot to the touch will i be able to keep it cooler if i go to a 18t pinion?

Yeah, I think so, I run a 17T with those same tires and it usually doesn’t get above 110F right now. It’s usually about 50F outside. I do have a fan on the motor though.

I’m also glad PL has listened and vented the tires the correct way.
