Congratulations Callum , I love my Talion. A couple of modifications and it is a all around performer. looking forward to seeing what you all do with it!

I didn’t know they still put the blx system in this I figured it would be spektrum system I bought a exb kraton but if I have problems with the rear diff I’m turning it back in and buying a talion nice video man!!

[@HardcoreRC]

Thanks for the kind words. Sorry to hear you have rear diff issues with the EXB, such a great over all car, once you get the rear diff sorted - im running mine with 3 star plates each side and been rock solid (touch wood), having said that the Talion is also a great car, wish we got one sooner 👍 i was surprised it still had the BLX and STX2 - bearing in mind its been out of stock for 6 months, would have thought they would at least do those changes when building them

Great vid - so few von this rig 😊 That ground clearance is awesome - it’s able to keep high speed on rough terrain. Already looking forward to the speed pinion vid 👍 Can you do one on tarmac as well to see how close you get to 70? Nice editing Callum, great you kept those bloopers in 👍😊🤣👌

[@HardcoreRC]

Love the Talion now - we also over looked it for other cars, whish we had got one sooner now :) will see if we can find some where with long enough tarmac to run her. LOL on the bloopers, i always have them but dont normally put them im, Callum saw them and said they have to go in :)

Great video. Did you mention they are coming out with a new version in 2021?

Yes new Talion and Outcast coming summer 2021 - hence why there was no V5 version of them in the latest release - dont know what they will be like as its more than just an version update

[@MadNessDED]

Hi, I just got into RC couple of months ago I currently picked up Vorteks couple days ago and I love it more and more. Any suggestion for a 6s purchase I can't decide between Kraton or Talion and even Typhon just overall if you could help me I would appreciate it. Thank you

[@MadNessDED]

@@HardcoreRC thank you so much for the detailed explanation as I will look into the Kraton 6s exb. Still new to the RC world so I got lot to learn.

[@BarstoneRC]

Nice car guys! I was looking at one of these and really considered buying one but I ended up getting the EXB at the time but I might have to try one?

[@HardcoreRC]

Cant believe we over looked this car - so glad its back in stock and we now have it in the fleet 👍👍

[@Zillawill]

Just got 1 of these at what I thought was good price, didn't know they was a V5 due this year tho lol, kinda wondering if I should send it back

[@HardcoreRC]

There is a new Talion due this year, but its not a V5, its a whole new car, so if you like the current Talion dont send it back or you will likely never be able to get one again, no one knows what the new Talion will be, but its not just a few updates its a whole new car

[@Zillawill]

@@HardcoreRC Thanks mate, tbh I got it cause I don't like my kraton at all, I wanted something that handled like my old nitro truggies when I raced them but kraton exb feels too heavy, saw some vids on this tho and seems to have that kinda quick agile style to it

[@HardcoreRC]

@@Zillawill Its is more agile and quicker than a Kraton, Callum loves his. If you want real agility though get the Tekno ET 48 2.0 or the TLR 8Eight - but not as hard for bashing. Other option would be a Tekno ET 48.3 with the M2C upgrades that make it bash ready

[@Zillawill]

@@HardcoreRC I used to run 8ight T 2.0 when I raced so I deffo remember how agile those ones are, guess its just down to price nowadays, back then it was my only hobby now I have too many lol

Callum is very happy - had her out last weekend and was running a dream, had to fit the Radical Bashbar as the chassis bent making this video with the big jumps. Callum edited this video hence the bloopers 😂😂 i always do things like that when doing this sort of video as i don't script it, i just dont normally put them in

[@donuttime2507]

Props to the lad saving up for his RC,Tough thing for kids to do these days. I'm torn in half with the Talion, I've been tempted a few times to get one but I've always held off. Apart from the STX2 what's the honest verdict on it and what do you think the Talion is really about? Great video as always.

[@HardcoreRC]

Thanks - he is very good at saving, has bought his own Limitless and Notorious as well - just asks for money for his Birthday and Christmas and saves his pocket money plus does jobs. Callum is really liking the Talion, its like a cross between a Kraton and Typhon - very quick and handles very well, plus can jump with the best of them.

This arrma exb kraton or the rtr kraton or the kyosho nitro truggy or a losi

[@HardcoreRC]

Between the Kraton EXB and the RTR there is only one choice and that the EXB as only works our slightly more expensive if you run it on Max8 2200kv system, servo that is in description of our videos and a dumbo RC, and it has loads o upgrades over the RTR, cant help on the Kyosho Nitro as dont knwo anything about them. Which Losi ?

@@HardcoreRC I was looking at them hobbywings are they good and fast and I dno what losi I don’t own a losi yet lol

@@joshchatwin8179 Yes the Hobbywing systems are very good and reliable - go with either a Max8 2200kv combo or the max6 1650kv combo. We use a Max6 1650kv in our EXB, but a Max8 2200kv is good enough (its basically the same system that comes in the RTR) and it does keep the cost down

I am so tempted to save up and get either a Arrma Talion 6s or a Arrma Kraton 6s which one would you recommend ? the park has a dirt bike track tons of humps, also has a tarmac long path too.

[@HardcoreRC]

Your choice may not be that simple now, the standard Talion RTR has been discontinued and now only sold as an EXB RTR with a price hike, Very similar rigs but the Talion is faster and more track focused if that makes sense, it can jump but has short shocks and shock towers. Which ever way you go they are both very good rigs

[@monkeytrident]

@@HardcoreRC thanks for the reply, i am in london do you know of any good suppliers :) i used to find on ebay a company which sold the rc car, batteries, charger, and reviver, but I do not see that company on ebay anymore, bare in mind i saw their shop 1 year ago. (I think Kraton) is for me.

[@HardcoreRC]

@@monkeytrident Depending on what part of London and if you want to go to a shop there is TJD models in Dartford, very good and very helpful. Or mail order it has to be Modelsport. Chargers have a look at the ones in my description, yes they are from Banggood but for the price you wont get better in the UK, normally get within a week as well. Battery wise something like this: www.modelsport.co.uk/product/gens-ace-battery-lipo-3s-11.1v-8000-100c-ec5--1335343 or this www.modelsport.co.uk/product/gens-ace-li-po-car-3s-11.1v-5000mah-50c-bashing-with-ec5-1335907

Super fast bone stock, epic handling with the wide truggy stance & low centre of gravity 👌 One of Arrmas finest IMO...
