Awesome build so far bud. The first time I seen a Talion was at Hobbytown when we drove to Boise
and I seen it up on the counter for display.
I though the suspension felt amazing and I wanted one more than anything.
I never did pull the trigger.
Keep up the cool pics.

Thanks Frog! Will do! More to come!
 
Such an awesome build bro! This is making me want to redo the Kraton.
Thanks Fog! It was a fun build. It's basically a Kraton with a Talion chassis, tires, & body. But I love the look. I learned a lot building my Kraton 4990 & this build was a little smoother.
 
I have been trying to figure how I missed this entire build...
Did you sleep at all during this??? 🤣
Truck looks killer!!! 😎👍😍
Thanks Mike! Naw, it took a while, just saved up a bunch of build photos. I figured I'd get it out. I'm really pleased. I'm gonna rip it, hate to mess her up, but i gotta! 😆💥

Ahh. A hose and some WD40 and she'll be good as new 😅

I have a small air compressor & I usually blow the RCs out, wipe out & down w/ good ole' WD-40 in a cloth.

You and me both.
Detal pics of the new Arrma V6 front & rear hubs- a few they are next to the V5 hubs- showing the difference. The V6 front knuckles don't use a pillow ball insert. Instead, the caps just bolt down. Drop in the pillow ball, install cap. Tighten the screws. No adjustment. They are nice & snug, but still smooth. No pillow ball aluminum retainers to back out.

Thanks for the pics. I'm so doing the updated steering blocks!

Cool. I bought them directly from Arrma as soon as the V6 came out. You need the steering pivot balls too. They are different than previous models, I may have already mentioned. 🫠
 
What mods you got on yalls Kraton? Is it a V3 or V5? Whatcha want to redo?
It's the V5. It has the M2C chassis, wing support, chassis brace, servo mount, etc. It's a tank already, but I'd like to go through it and bling it out a bit.

I keep bouncing between upgrading my Granite or no. Can I even use the parts from M2C on a 3s?
Whatcha gonna bling???

Cool. The M2C stuff is the bomb. I have quite a few M2C parts. The wing support- the one that mounts inside the tower to the rear chassis brace support & tower? Or a different support? I bought the one that goes inside the tower & haven't installed it- not on the Talion- it would go on another.

I feel like parts like these are worth buying... not plastic to grind down on the pavement when I roll.
My plastic shock caps did NOT do well with high speed flips! ☹️
I should make a new shopping list for Jenny's. 🤔🤣

I'm not sure. All the M3C stuff was on it when we got it.

Ah- that's the chassis brace support piece on top of the bulkhead, between an aluminum wing. And the M2C chassis brace & the M2C tower-Nice!
These SS rear skid plates are awesome. It's an Arrma piece, I have them on my Notorious & Kraton. Very good upgrade & bling!

Got some Arrma Notorious side dirt gaurds. They wrap way around the back- so I trimmed them down at an angle from the body angle to the lower rear corner. Much better than the short Kraton ones- they didn't reach the bottom of the door edge.
