First one looks like an old OFNA. Small shocks, thin towers, suggests old. These days things are built more bulky/beefy to take more abuse.

Yes the grown mans big brown sleigh delivering presents (packages) to all the good little (big) boys (grown men kids at heart) just like at Christmas (except all year round) waiting on Santa (person in brown shorts) to arrive (tracking number out for delivery).

@olds97_lss so is it worth building or try to find a newer roller?

@olds97_lss @cbaker65 what is a good truggy to get used?

Unless you figure out what it is, I'd look for something current so you have good parts support.

Which is better the kraton or tailon? I finally talked the wife into getting one

 

[olds97_lss]

From what I've read, the talion if you want to run on a track and the kraton if you want to run anywhere. Pretty much the same truck, just different suspension geometry I believe.

I have the outcast, which is like a short kraton. I prefer shorter trucks for bashing. They flip easier and can be a bit more unpredictable, which adds to the fun.

I bash In the back yard and will be giving my dog exercise with it I don't really do anything crazy.

And I will be only running it on 4s for right now.

I will post pictures of the other frame when I actually get it

Get the Kraton. I had both the V1 Talion and the V1 Kraton at the same time. The were very close in performance - in the park, the Kraton was better, on the track, the Talion was better (truggy tires on both). I ended up trading my Tailion for a Typhon, and still have the Kraton and Typhon.

The newer V3 Talion uses short shocks and towers like a Typhon on the long arms of a truggy. This lets it use a lower, more streamlined body for a bit of extra straight line speed, but will not help for any rough ground bashing. IMHO, unless you want a parking lot basher, get the Kraton.
