Lucky duck. I can't find an EXB bumper anywhere haha. Got it on backorder on HH, but they said it'll likely be at least a month or two before they get more.
I ended up finding one on eBay but I think it came from Amain.
Any 1/8 buggy/truggy?
Any 1/8 buggy/truggy what? If your asking about the fan/heatsink it will fit the Spektrum motor you just need to add like aluminum foil or a tiny bit of thin metal between the motor can as it's a little loose that's what I did👍

Corally radix6 6s?
Says it fits 40.5-42.8 mm motors
Gotta look at the measurements on the radix6
 
Installed the EXB front chassis brace in the Typhon that was in my Kraton as the Kraton got the matching front M2C chassis brace today💪

Ok so the Typhon decided it wants to go back to it's old ways of being an asphalt demon. Talked me into a new heart(TP 4060 2620kv) to go with it's former brain (MMX8S). Also talked me into a new CF wing and RC6GS V1. Now running front Limitless tower and shocks, stock Typhon tower and shocks with Kraton springs in the rear. She will also need some new bearings and thicker diff fluid besides some suspension and droop adjustments. Got the new motor, MMX8S and RC6GS V1 installed. Still need to install motor fan and swap the Ic5 on the MMX8S to Qs8 as all my speed run packs are now Qs8's. Will only be running 4s&6s on this setup, starting with GRP's but may go to foams have to see when I start running.

So shakedown passes didn't go the best today. Had range and lag issues with the RC6GS V1 and a hard time getting her trimmed up nice and straight. Still made some progress with trim and getting the feel of the stretched Typhons handling. Really happy with the new TP 4060 2620kv as it ran great and even after a good 40+ minutes of lighter running and 2 decent pulls it stayed below 125°. Also had no issues with lifting or harsh handling even with the big a$$ Kraton rear wing so that's awesome. Best I was able to pull and comfortable with was 91mph and then an 89mph pass but again don't think reciever fully calibrated and had lag issues also so pleased with just the 91mph on first shakedown 4s passes

Got my new wing from Saga custom RC today so got it installed, now have to see how it works due to being smaller and no rear lip for more down force. Like how the side winglets are adjustable so you can move them further forward or backwards. Wish it was countersunk for the wing mount on the Typhon but not a huge deal still lined up perfect and went on just fine.

Made some more changes to the stretched Typhon today. Got my GP5 ring gears and input pinions installed with 20mil front and rear.

Had a broken pin on one of the rear out drives so got that replaced.

Can't stand the v5 input cups with the plastic covers so got both front and rear switched to the round v4 style.

Also replaced front A arms and added longer cap head droop screws as the stock ones were sitting at an angle and about to strip out the hole in the arm. Replaced the bent to sh!t stock ackerman with a new Basherqueen ackerman.

Didn't realize I still had the bushings in the steering posts so got bearings installed. Removed both front and rear sway bars as they are not needed for speed running and cuts a little bit of weight off the rig.

Now just waiting on the R7FG reciever I ordered so I don't have the range issues I've been having and rig should be good to go.
 
Got the new reciever installed last week. Went out today to get it going straight and possibly make a pass. All went well so made a decent 4s pull and only came up short 3mph from my current 4s PB of 108mph at 105mph today. Happy as car is just getting dialed in and first decent pass already almost a PB pass.

Great job!
I need to start my rebuild, my carbon fiber chassis is almost done I’ve been cutting and grinding on it, but had to take a week+ away cause I think I got cf dust in my eyes and they were burning so bad for 3-4 days. I didn’t want to do anything for a little while lol. I got some new goggles.. As soon as I get done making the chassis I’ll be doing a re-build thread lol

Thanks not too shabby for first decent pull with the new setup and almost matched my 4s PB already. Sure I could have came closer but had such bad visibility had to keep passes shorter today. Started a second pass and had a car come up so pulled out and still hit 102mph on that one so definitely has potential 👍

Would like to see the progress and how you went about it. If you care to share.
 
Log of todays 105mph 4s pass running MMX8S, TP 4060 2620kv and CNHL G+ 70c 4s pack. Odd voltage shows 17.5v on a 4s pack that should read 16.8v🤷

Not much for changes made but will be going to a 32t spool when I get my new custom made Pinocchio spool from Kenny at RC on a budget for the stretched Typhon. Last pass ran 106mph on 4s for a PB on this setup but not overall as Limitless I've ran 108mph on 4s. Still haven't made a 6s pass yet but may make one this week before the new spool comes in. Thinking a 6s pass should push me very close to or above my 6s PB of 126mph with the Limitless. Been holding off as I want to make sure the setup is all dialed in before jumping up 20+mph from my 4s passes.

Got my spool today from Kenny for the stretched Typhon😍 so will be now running his Pinocchio spools in both my speed rigs. Extremely thankful as he was very kind to help me out and gift me this one free of charge🙏🏼 will be installing it possibly this afternoon and going to a 32t spur over the 34t.
