The last pieces of the drivetrain that haven’t been upgraded went today. Pinon is gone and chunked the spur, My hobby place had a MIP rear driveshaft and I’m going to a 31 pinion with a 51 spur from the stock 27 since it broke. It’s going to rip.

I was putting everything back together and found that the shaft on the motor was bent in the carnage. Ordered a castle replacement 2200kv motor, hope it’s fast. I only run this truck on 6S so maybe that’s why it tears up the drivetrain. And I beat the s*** out of it. I bought this thing to have something to tinker on in the winter and take camping for fun around the camp site. It’s a money pit and so tricked out now I’m going to need a chase truck for it to haul parts. I need to hurry up and get it bulletproofed as it’s time to start using the Talon more than a few hours once a weekend.
this weeks order - another f***ing money pit...
Castle 2200kv motor
AGV 500 oz servo
New method wheels- plastic as the aluminum ones are too heavy
Proline Hyrex tires
Hot racing aluminum front drive shaft - starting to bend the Traxxas upgraded steel dog bone one
Motor fan and heat sink
1967 Ford F100 body - black. It comes with the heatwave livery. Thinking about doing the orange Fox livery on the black body - thoughts guys?
Hot Racing aluminum bell crank and servo saver
Vitavon steering links
Can’t find the hot racing servo horn and steering link- any help is appreciated.
aluminum front skid plate
New bumpers- they should sell these in bulk
I keep telling myself that’s it. No more. Dammit. Love this thing, the good news is I’m about out of stuff to replace. I have my eye on the old school bronco or K5 Trx now. Lift kit and bead locks with some boggers maybe...
