ARRMA Talion 6S 2018 first run w/16T pinion on 4S 

Me too...

I concur

Thank you so much, I really appreciate the feedback and the kind words. Welcome to the channel and thank you for your support. :)

+Aaron Weycker Thank you Aaron. 😊

Aussie RC Playground if you left it at stock height how do you think it would of handled the jumps ?

Yup for general bashing 16t on 4s is amazing on my Outcast. If I want to do backflips all day then 6s.

Wonder why the thumbs down by some ....always intrigues me. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙄

+RC OFF-ROAD DOWNUNDER Haters gonna hate. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Thanks heaps for the feedback, always enjoy your comments. 😊👍🏼

Aussie RC Playground Yeah I guess ya can't please everyone....or maybe they were thumbs up but made a mistake with their click/tap haha !!! Cheers....🍻

Probably from Traxxas employees, or other reviewers jealous of Aussie RC.

Aussie RC Playground good videos bro. Salute to you from Jersey

+RC Team Austria Thank you Team Austria. Always appreciate your comments. 😊👍🏼

Awesome. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. :)

+Jorge Vasquez 6S run will be up on Friday. 😊

+Aussie RC Playground awesome thank you for making great rc reviews!!

the same over here, it is better this or the krston 6s v5. This one behaves better on a circuit, right?

The ESC is completely different from the V1 cars, ARRMA updated that in the V2's. This one has no issues that I can report or heard of from anyone else. It's a re-branded Hobbywing, so you know it'll be solid.

That's what I needed to hear. Thanks for the reply!

Amen brother!!

True Gaming Finland never said that the kraton is too small I actually own one I'm just in the market for a 1/5 scale right now that's all

I'm with ya there!

TraysComedy well I love Arrma but your wrong about something. I own a 8s Xmaxx and the truck is a beast. The 6s was terrible. The 8s is amazing. The only thing I had to do was upgrade the pinion and spur to gds (shattered both off a 30+ ft jump) and I bought it as a roller so I used Traxxas/castle motor but I used a max 6 esc. The Cush drive and truck itself is extremely strong and well designed. I love mine and most that own them do. This beast will go where no Kraton will with ease (ruts and terrain that would swallow a 1/8). I also geared it 18/50 with my esc and motor setup this is a sub 30lb truck doing actual 50mph and it will rip wheelies at any speed it is a sight to see. Anyways give it a try. I love my Senton 6s and V2 Talion though don’t get me wrong. They are indestructible. But if Traxxas ever did anything right it’s the Xmaxx truck ! I just figured I would share my experience if you are looking for bigger scale. The Losi xble sucks. The only other big scale I have is an old original Baja 5b but that thing is different entirely it’s got its niche.

My guess is that it's your throttle control. If you've come from using nitro then you're probably bleeping the throttle too much. At least that's what I've seen with some nitro users who drive an electric RC, it's just bleep, bleep, bleep all the way down the straight. I actually had to tell one guy to stop or he'll cook his motor. If it's not that, then check your mesh and make sure it's not too tight. If that checks out, then take the pinion out and roll the car to see if anything is binding in the drivetrain. Aside from those things and without testing the car myself or seeing how you drive, I can't think of anything else.

I appreciate the tips. I've been driving electric for over a year and I think I'm pretty used to it. Been running nitro for almost 20 years, so yeah, I may have bad habits I didn't even take into account. I know I really miss the braking feel of nitro. I'll try to pay attention to see if I catch myself "blipping" the throttle. Everything else checks out fine. One caveat, I'm running 3.8" proline trenchers, which I think are 1oz heavier per tire than the stock tires on the outcast, 13.4oz vs 12.5oz. I weighed them on a USPS mail scale. That extra rotational mass is probably quite a bit over what the talion tires/wheels are. They appear to be very small and narrow.

Rich Duperbash what you reckon rich we getting the talon or senton new one looks bad ass

cater4anytink I'd personally get the Talion cuz my Truggified Typhon is a BEAST and fills that smaller speed basher void for me. The Proline Pro MT 4x4 looks interesting too with proper electronics of course. 🤔🤔😎

This is not a buggy just a heads up its a truggy so longer and wider than the buggy maybe it was the low slung body and smaller looking tires that confused you but yea i got the V1 and even that one was good but in the diff's it comes with grease unless arma changed that but i doubt it and arrma shock weight i think its like around 50wt dont quote me on that

Yes, sorry I may have used the word 'buggy' to loosely. I do mean the vehicle itself. Buggy or truggy was not confusing me - but thanks for the clarification.

Yes, that's about normal for these cars. If you start to go 180+ in temps, then it's time to gear down or ease up on the throttle a bit. Otherwise, you can install a fan on the motor, but that's up to you.

@@AussieRCPlayground okay buddy thanks a lot for the advice. keep up the awesome videos you're one of my favorite RC channels

LOLWUT? The outcast is far superior and won’t break every time you use it. Just my opinion.

OUTCAST!!!

Not a stupid question at all... I learned to monitor temps from someone in the US and they used Fahrenheit, so I just kept it that way. It’s just how I learned...

Aussie RC Playground Thanks Vas I new there would be a reason . Keep up the awesome work .Myself and our 3 boys all sit up watching your channel and frothing.Thanks

Thank you I've had that argument alot

looking at arrma's website. they are not the same. the typhon diff is part number ar220028 and the talion is ar220041

+lordofbasement It’s Fahrenheit. I make that clear in the video and you can even see it on the temp gun. So the motor wasn’t in any danger. 😊👍🏼

Ok, everythings all right. For me it wasnt clear and i dont see it in the video. Thanks for your answer though :-)

+lordofbasement No problem.

Yes, check www.bigsquidrc.com , on older posts ...

+Timothée Liens Never shimmed a single diff in any of my ARRMA cars. I run these cars stock to find their weaknesses, if I shim the diffs or do any mods that enhance durability, then it’s not a fair test. That said, I’ve not had any issues with my diffs over the years, and that goes back to the V1 cars.

These are the stock tyres. :)

+Shalvey Bros The Talion. No question. The Sabertooth offers great value, but it’s not as durable as this car and it doesn’t handle as well.

Domestic Car Detailing I was set on getting the kraton until seeing this video. Now I'm not sure which one to get

+Anthony Arnold It’s uploading as we speak and will be going live on Friday. 😉

+R Soul Haha. Well, I wasn’t sure how the footage would translate on screen, but I guess I was ok.

Scott James nothing beats the xmaxx

+039043 Probably the most interesting comment I’ve seen since I started this channel 5 years ago and definitely the first of its kind. Tell me, how is this channel a copy? And who are you accusing me of copying?

I follow a bunch of rc channels and this is the best one. While some complain about handling e g Vas describes what it is and how you solve it.

jhue73 It’s not the gear mesh, it’s the all steel drivetrain. Durability trumps noise.

so the spur is steel?
