Sweet machine.

 

[luke66]

Thanks man.

You said:
Also this car is HEAVY. Gonna work on lightening it this fall/winter (2024)
They’re really not that heavy, you’re just used to those plastic chassis Slash trucks. This is your first 6s Arrma, right?
Also, if it’s slow on 4s you should check the settings on that BLX185.
But don’t forget, a Slash on 3s will most definitely be quite a bit quicker than a Typhon on 4s.
Nice build, Luke!

Thanks.
Yes, this is my first 6S Arrma. Unfortunately I can't adjust the ESC due to the Switch/program Thing is gone and I dont have a tuner card.
And it does seem to be getting quicker on its own. I havent been able to run it much so I think it's starting to break in.

The car appears to have broken in. This thing shreads. Still planning on a better ESC/motor and lightening it, but it’s a heck of a basher now. I also got a V3 mount in. (thanks @Warby !) still gonna get TLR stuff as well.

Time to turn the ship around. No longer planning on TLRing this rig. Gonna buy a TLR roller.

So, you may be wondering, what WILL I do with it?

Turning it into a Mojave 4S, of course.

One member on AF ( @Garcbomber ) built one and I’ve wanted to do so ever since. So, getting a K6 EXB chassis and chassis braces, Noto/K6 towers/shocks, Firma 150 V2, and a couple other small mods. Oh, and a Mojo 4S body/tires. Idk how long it’ll take, but it’s gonna happen.

Hopefully should start a build thread soon, when parts start rolling in.

Cool. I've got that stuff we pm about

Ooooooohhhh yesssss!

Got some stuff in! Getting real close. All I need now is a screw kit from Jenny’s, a center brace mount, and the body and tires. After that the build will commence! Gonna be a while though. I may not even be building a TLR. Thinking of just getting a V5 slider and building that to be as light as possible. I mostly bash my Typhon so there’s no real reason to have TLR upgrades if I can’t use them properly. Either way, building this, getting another Typhon later. Should happen late '25 or early '26. Yes, I'm that low on money lol

Actually, no, forget all that bullcrap I gave you earlier, I can't afford this hobby anymore!!!
Planning on keeping stock and dialing it in. Maybe lighter electronics but rn I need a car more then anything. Planning on a BMW E90 or E91 (E90= coupe- E91 = wagon)
