- This is a FULL build video.
In this video we actually build the Arrma Talion RTR into a 7th scale XL version. Although this is a fairly long build, we do what we can to keep it entertaining. Changing the scale of an RC comes with its challenges, but AJ manages to get the job done. So come along as we do this build.
Wheelie bar from the build is:
Integy C28674SILVER Aluminum Wheelie Bar Set : Arrma 1/8 Kraton 6S BLX. Look it up on eBay.
Music:
MixKit, Party robot
Epidemic Sound:
Mindme, Quiet demons
Deaf Election, Acceler8
Scoobadive, Eclectic
Gotta love his classical style
This video showed that you can mod the Talion that's sooooo under rated in the rc world. After watching this video I went out and up graded my Talion EXB talion to the mohave chassis. Thank you for all the great bashing videos, how to and review videos. The sheer amount of information you give has educated me and I've been able to tell others to watch your videos in order to learn.
Cool, thanks 😎👍
Received both items in good order however one of the items is faulty. It does not respond or function correctly like the other one I received. I don't won't a full refund as one item is functioning perfectly. I would just like half of the original amount refunded.

What a great video
You definitely should do more videos like this one
Very informative and entertaining
Home run !
Great vid. Very educational. Felt like I was in shop class 😏. Subscribed 👍 I’m thinking about buying a Tailon EXB so I’ll be checking out more of your videos for tips and advice. Thanks for sharing!
Great video AJ!!!!! I appreciate the tips and tricks!!! Now I can rebuild mine. Thanks Brother! 🙏👍💯
Always happy to help 😎👍
Looking forward to seeing the comparisons, I'm getting ready to drive my Kraton XL build but am already wanting one of these as well!. Keep up the content like this. Great lighting, good angles and clear explanations. Body post was my main reason for watching but enjoyed it all!
Thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoyed it. 😎👍
The beginning took me back to sat morning tnn with all the shop shows i grew up watching with my dad...i dunno why 😂
Awesome 👍
Nice build, we did something similar, but we used Kraton arms to make it wider and use bigger wheels and also Mojave exb suspension and towers. We akso use 160 amps esc and bigger motor and a Russian body wich is quite heavy but very strong!
Nice video. So many good hints. Ordered a mojave chassis for my talion exb instant after watching this.
Awesome! You don’t see the Talion xl often more times than not it’s a Kraton xl or a krajave. Can’t wait to see it rip…
Thank you. I thought the same that's why I chose the Talion for this build. I think you'll like the run video. Coming soon. 😎👍
Great video!! I really like, how you custom made the body post extenders!! 👍 💪 Nice!!
Glad you like it. Thanks. 😎👍
Awesome build, Thank's for sharing 👍✌
Thanks 👍
Even the Talion get the XL treatment. Arrma need to step it up.
Hopefully they’re paying attention to the bashing community. They did start venting their tires so there’s still hope. Thanks for the comment😎👍
Nice supercut I know editing vids like that can be a bear. I'd love to have a talion but for me it's the price point, and on that note the same goes for the fireteam. It's still on the list tho, (behind the Mojave lol). . the only thing I would suggest to those who have the cash would be m2c's offerings as they have both a heavier built chassis for bashing and a speed chassis for the crazies such as myself . Also interesting how you did the body mounts in back because typically people just go to Amazon and order those anodized aluminum standoffs and I like that you showed a little ingenuity which reminds us we don't have to all build them like cookie cutters (slowly turns gaze to Arrma powered Stampede I lovingly call Dr. Frankenfoot) anywho I rant .. keep it up AJ. Fine work you do for the community. Subbed even though I thought I already had. Peace! ✌️
Great 👍 job on the build nice and quick and understandable very good very good for first timers for sure
Awesome, thank you!😎👍
You nailed it man Very good job sharing your video 📹 👏
Thanks a lot!😎👍
@@AJJAMStudios Know problem keep up the good work
Those motor screws on top suuucks.
AJ!!!! Sorry I’m behind watching your videos! I destroyed my Talion, so I want your help, so I’m watching this one first. Love your videos and again I apologize for being behind. I just started the bud, I know it will be epic!!!🔥🔥🔥👊👍💯
I’m sure it will be. You know your stuff, Speed. Can’t wait to see it in action. 😎👍
Beautiful build!
Glad you like it!😎👍
You have done everything to the T. Perfect 👍🏼. Love how the channel is getting better. Do you have a link to the wheelie bar??
It's in the description; we just added it. Thanks for asking. However, we have switched it out for a Tbone racing, or TBR, Kraton wheelie bar setup designed for the Kraton 6s. This one is found on their website if they still have them in stock. Check them out. tboneracing.net/ 😎👍
Hey Aj, really love the channel. How do you keep the backflip LP tires from rubbing the arms. I ended up doing the rpm arms and backflip LP like you but they end up rubbing the front and back of the arms.
Having upgraded to the RPM arms for this build the LPs don't hit at all. I never tried to install them on the stock arms, so the thought never occurred to me. Thanks for asking, 😎👍
Excellent job AJ. The rear body mount mod was a great idea. Try some Backflip LP's and you could probably keep that current pinion on. Do you have any LP's in the shop?
cheers,
kev
That's what we're running on it. We're also testing the stock wheels and tires, and the Fireteam set as well. We'll share the results in the next XL video. Thanks for the participation 😎👍
I'm rebuilding a talion blx right now and think I'm going to go this route. Do you have a list of all parts you used or what all I need to order, I have an idea but don't want to miss anything lol.
Is the stock talion stance kraton arms and chassis with buggy hubs?
Pretty much but the shock towers and the servo mount and the hubs at off the typhon
Correct, Zerrick. The chassis is a bit differently shaped than the Kraton, but the wheelbase is the same too.
That RPM "rear" bumper. Its not April 1st is it?
Could you tell me We're you got the plastic blocks from? Thanks.
Our local plastic dealer, form boards and cutting board materials, sells it in 4x8 foot sheets and we use it at work, but a plastic cutting board made of good material will work just as well. We were lucky enough to come across some black material and we used that. I actually do not recall the name of it. Wish I could help more than that. Still, thanks for asking 😎👍
Thanks sir. I just started ordering parts for project Black Talion XL. Thanks your channel is the best.
Better use talion being has shorter axles less stress on the diffs. Im tired ordering rebuilding arrma diffs i swore id only do swb arrmas but going give exb diffs a try , in fairness the diff I just blew had the original pinion and case and is the v1 version being lazy I just threw another diff I had rebuilt and seems the input slid back allowing the pinion to move back and forth . Im not messing with old case ill just change whole assembly 40$ 50$ for exb if do just ring pinion its 30 and using the tired plastics . I've taken a page from you changing to exb chassis
Aj you do like the exb diffs ? You think they last longer than standard spiral cut ,
Shimmed properly the standard diffs do pretty well. I just don't care for the limited slip system in general. The LSD diffs are tougher that the original design, mostly due to the new, heavier gearing, but I find the stock ones are easier to tune (my opinion only). New cases can help, but the shimming is paramount to longevity. Please, let me know which way you choose to go, and, if possible, why? I'm genuinely curious. Thanks for asking. AJ
does it handle like a talion or does this build change its characteristics???
It rotates a bit slower in the air, but the handling is still very good. I haven't noticed much of a difference other than the stability. Thanks for asking 😎👍
tell me, does the middle (red) long bracket fit the tlr tuned typhon 6s?
Where do you get those pieces of plastic for the rear body mounts? And/or what is it called?
Thanks!
We have a local shop that sells it. I don’t remember the name. But I find cutting board plastic will work just fine as well. Thanks for asking. Wish I could be more help.😎👍
great video iv just ordered a talion exb and im looking at going the xl route with it my question is the top brace is that a mohave top brace or the standard talion top brace ?
Mojave
Where do get your street tires from
I like your channel for the tips, info and how-to's. However, the reviews are a little monotonous: Arrma, Arrma, Arrma, Arrma, Losi. Arrma, Arrma, Arrma, Arrma, Traxxas. Etc.
whats the white lube in a tube you use in the diffs bro?
It’s a lithium grease. We get it from our local auto parts store. Thanks for asking. 😎👍
@@AJJAMStudios thanks bud, i use a similar lithium grease but its a darker color. The squeezy tube looks really convenient
Did you have to piece the parts together or is this a kit?
It’s not a kit. Parts for the build were picked out individually. Thanks for asking 😎👍
Oh ok thank you its a beast
How much was the cost of the build
Less than $200.00 at the time of the build. Keep in mind we got the chassis at $50.00 on eBay. thanks for asking. AJ
Did you use 6s or 4s backflip tires there? Also did you use different drive shafts?
6s and no, we used the stock drive system.
@@AJJAMStudios Thank you so much for replying! Now I know I do not need to buy new center driveshafts with my xl build. It's hard to know exactly what you need to order I was thinking longer chassis means longer driveshafts and almost bought them also with all my other build parts.
Hey man looking to get a talion i have 2 guys selling them near me one its an immaculate stock one for 350 one has XL conversion and bigger motor and lipo but no talion body for 400, i have jumps near me but really would like to use it on a local dirt race track near me wondering if the xl makes handing worse, what do you think i should go for? Thanks
At the end of the day, it’s your choice. I love my Talions, both of them. Depending upon the condition of each, I would likely go for the stock one. That would allow me to choose the upgrades for myself.
I mean its a perfectly good car stock so that's a great point, just seems a such a bargain the m2c chassis being titanium and stuff but yeah probably overkill for what I'm doing with it
Our Talion XL handles more like the Kraton now with the larger tires, we use the Fireteam tires on ours, and of course, the longer chassis, which comes from the Mojave EXB 6s, but it still handles awesome. The flips are slower and more controllable, but it definitely changes the feel of the RC. That's a tough one. Best of luck choosing. Please let us know which way you decide to go and let us know how you like it after you've run it a while. We're always interested to get feedback on things like this. Thanks. AJ
