Well said. They are both awesome. Thanks for commenting 😎👍

@@AJJAMStudios Anytime your video kicks ass. Why because I am Away from my home right recovering in the hospital and when.. I saw your video I was yeaaaaaaa I immediately thought of my Talion That I only used 2 times because I am not trashing and bashing a $600 rc truggy. One specific detail That caught my attention about the Talion is when I bought my Blue Typhon that I got on sale back in 2017 for 420$ is the way the Talion sits really low to the ground. I couldn't afford it at the time so I promised myself and 4 years. Later I got it. I have not regrets.

Wow, thanks! We really appreciate that here. 😎👍

@@AJJAMStudios Are you in the Oakanagon British Colombia Canada ? Im not being snoopy on were you are raceing but If I were a gambling man Id bet heavy that you are ! Just the small thin trees plus super dusty trail looks like what I use to work in ha ha love your channel

Awesome! Thank you!

@@singletrackslim6667 hasn’t missed a lick

Totally agree. The materials they use are simply better. Their products are more flexible, handle cold weather better, and take a pounding before breaking; if they break at all. I've had the best luck with RPM components all the way from the Xmaxx to my 10th scale cars. They all seem to hold up beautifully. I put them on all of the cars in my collection that break arms, when they are available from RPM, of course. AJ

@@barneyrebel0123 Never swap out the front and back control arms unless your just looking for an aesthetic bling look to your Talion Because if your bashing the shit out of your Talion all those vibrations from jumping and landing hard Will reverberate all over the metal Chassis until it finds a weak Point and it will snap causing alot of damage which means $$$$$$$$$ It's ok if you upgrade to aluminum To all the other parts suchs steering linkages steering knuckles spoiler supports etc. plastic is cheap and easy to repair so in the event you land hard from a jump the vibrations will transfer directly to the plastic control arms and break saving you a lot more money trust me I talk through experience and had to learn the hard way.😉

Thank you for the comment. Perhaps it will be so. AJ

hank you for this. You ran all this on 4S at point the dog bones came out and afterwards? Thx for the reply Sir 👍🏽

It has it's moments, but overall it is one of my favorites. Thanks for the comment. AJ

Thank you. 😎👍

Thank you for the comment. AJ

Thanks for watching!

It’s been a minute since I set that rig up but I believe the shocks still have the stock oil in them, as is our normal for the channel for an RC that controls well right out of the box. The diffs were all inspected and refilled. As I remember it was 30K front, 50K rear, and 100K center. It felt good with the tire weight and controls well for our driving style. Thanks for asking 👍

@@AJJAMStudios thanks for your reply. Looking forward to more vids on your channel

Thanks so if I put talion tyres and 14tooth pinion will it drive similar to talion or the other option is 4s back flips I don't really jump cars Thanks for advice

Thank you so much 🤗

Awesome, thank you!

Could maybe work.

Glad you think so!

I understand. In my experience I have had to replace the pinion because the threads were too loose. The fit of the pinion and the set screw is very important. Perhaps the one you got with your model was out of tolerance. Just an idea for you. And one more thing, heat softens loctite so using more on bad threads usually does not help much. I hope you get this issue resolved. 😎👍

Any update on part numbers on Tallion EXB upgrade?

Thank you 😎👍

True that 😎👍

Not at the moment. I do not have one, but I have driven them. However, to review them I have to own one, and I am not very enamored with the handling. So I probably won’t get one. I’m not saying it is a bad truck. I just don’t think it is for me. Maybe sometime in the future I might break down and get one. Thanks for asking. AJ

Sounds good. 😎👍

The one I chose was bigger than my rig was setup for, so I had to do some custom work to install it. My fault, just pick a high speed, waterproof servo sized for your rig and go for it. High power output would be good as well. Sorry I couldn’t give you a part number. 😎👍

Nevver had an e-Revo. Love my Talions though. Thanks for asking.

That’s what we love about this hobby; diversity. AJ loves his Talions as do many of our friends, but we are aware that “Taste” is a thing. What works for some does not necessarily work for everyone. Great post. Thanks 👍

We’re working on that one. Should be out soon.

I do like the way the shocks are working, and thus, haven't had to adjust them as of yet. The Talion is, and always has been, a beast of a car. So underrated. Thanks for asking. AJ

@@AJJAMStudios thanks for the reply. Got mine coming tomorrow. Have you heard of the battery tray fix for the Kraton using wing nuts? I had to do it on my v4 and EXB; do u think the Talion will need this?

They make v5 arms now.

For a mix like that I would go with the Talion EXB. For straight out bashing and jumping the Kraton is really good. But out of the box the Talion is faster. Of course we lengthened our RTR and made it even more awesome. Just our opinion. Thanks for asking 😎👍

Keeping the right gear mesh is paramount to not only performance but to longevity. The shims help set that spacing: if needed. You need to determine if they are needed. Thanks for asking.

We have one. Check it out. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g69zoKmGqLGqcnk.html

The fit just fine. The clearance is a bit lower, but not by much. In fact, I like to run them on my Kraton when I hit the track. Thanks for asking. 😎👍

The footage speaks for itself on that point. The arms work. But as always the choice is yours. Have fun. 😎👍

@@AJJAMStudios I have a Fireteam with the same inherent problem from the KRATON exb arms. So this fix should work on the fireteam as well right AJ? And WHY do these arms work over v5 EXB? What measurement is different?

Built the same…my gut says yes, it will have this issue, but I wouldn’t address it until you have a problem. Easy fix. Bash hard my friend. 😎👍

@@AJJAMStudios Thanks bud. Cheers

If your Outcast is a 6s, then you should try the Talion tires for the oval. I think they will allow for more control and acceleration without trying to stand up every time you pull the trigger. And for the punch setting, if you can spin the wheels at a start then the punch is set plenty high enough. Remember, the higher the punch setting the shorter the runtime due to amp draw.

Sure. A wheelie bar from the outcast 6s. A rear bumper (which is a front bumper made by RPM) for rear protection. The front A arms made by RPM, to control the driveline issue. RPM rear wing mounts designed for the V4 Kraton. and that was about it. Everything else was stock. I hope this helps.

@@AJJAMStudios Which shock and pin did you use? Can you give a link? Thanks a lot. Great video!

It is a good spot. Most of the time the dust is minimal. Thanks for the comment.

Not that I'm aware of. At least, we haven't seen that option yet. Thanks for commenting. 😎👍

It’s the RPM front bumper to the Kraton 6s mounted on the rear. 😎👍

My local hobby stores mostly. But if they do not have a part I search EBay and Amazon. Thanks for asking. 😎😎

What issue are you having?

The wing mount does not clear the opening in the exb shock mount. The RPM wing mount is thicker than the stock wing mount. I have a Kraton V4 so it easily clears the cutout in that shock mount.

Insert them upside down and rotate them to get them into place. It is a tight fit but they do go through. It took a minute for us to figure it out too. Best of luck. AJ

If you need I can post a video showing the proper procedure. But try it first and let me know if you get them into place. If not, I'll do the video for you. AJ

Thanks AJ. I got it installed and it looks awesome. The bashing will begin real soon.

That would be a matter of what the driver is into. Each car has its charms. The Mojave is awesome for a desert racer, fast, awesome to watch run, and it’s tough as nails. The Kraton 6s EXB is cool too but in different ways. With some mild modding this thing is super durable. It is fast, jumps well, and is powerful. I would say the Kraton is a bit more versatile however. You mentioned 5th scale, again, it’s a different animal altogether. I bought the V2 RTR because we usually get the RTR before we get the EXB. As things stand right now, the 5th scale Kraton RTR is number one in our collection. But again, it is all a matter of choice for the driver. Performance, brute force, all around toughness, these all play a part. My favorite out of these three rigs has to be the Kraton 8s but it is a close thing. For me, any of them would make for an awesome day out bashing. I hope this helps 😎👍

No. The Talion is longer than the Typhon. Thanks for asking. 😎👍

Not all of them but I suppose I should. Usually I vent 1/8th scale and larger. If I get a rig into puddles or deep water I vent it. It is a good idea…in our opinion of course. Thanks for asking 😎👍

That’s a tough one. Both are awesome and fast. Both have the same power. But the larger tires on the Kraton give it more control in the air. So I guess the Kraton would win out. 😎👍

@@AJJAMStudios isnt it a good idea to give the talion some backflip tires from the outcast?

I did that, but didn't like it much. The backflips are too aggressive for my taste. Still, it does work. I find the Kraton stock tires to be a great addition to the car. Thanks for asking. AJ

@@AJJAMStudios alright man so rven for flips and trick yoh suggest the stock kraton tires over backflip tires? I biught an talion 6s yesterday

Got my talion 2 days ago and want to say I love it,but can not get it to go over 45mph. Even with the high pinion gear I'm not achieving more. I've recalibrate esc and bind like the manual says and still no joy. Tempted to just chuck the esc out as that's the issue I think 🤔

For which parts?

Keep in mind the 1/5 scale is a different animal.

@@AJJAMStudios hahaha that didn't help, from what i've gathered the castle 1100Kv Sensored Motor can be a difficult install.

Well…thanks for stopping by. 😎👍
