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

[@tommygunzz7586]

This truck is sick!!!! My wife absolutely loves it. She didn't want to take it to the dirt because of it's beauty (but she did). It handles like a dream... Arrma brought the beast out with this beauty😆😆 BTW, fantastic demo session😆😆😆😆👍👍👍👍

[@gatorjackrc1853]

yeah man I just want to say I thank you once again because this is the video that sold me on getting my first ARRMA and which is the V3 Talion, that I'm still in love with till this day!

[@TranceFur]

Perfect example of why racing chassis make the best bashers, imo. Nice video, Vas.

[@RCbashingtheKRATON]

i have to take back my words on the Talion...Arrma good job

[@madmonster5182]

This must be the year of Arrma,, so many good cars 2nd and 3d generation and this one specifically seems to be good, moreover the centon v2 is released so I believe most of Arrma’s cars will have plenty of modifications with so much more fun.. great video .. so many thanks Vas

[@cnbsdad]

After watching your videos, I immediately became a fan, and subscribed. Your very informative and detailed. You demonstrate a passion for RC and for your viewers and I appreciate it. I have definitely learned a few things especially on the Arrmas trucks. I was leaning towards Traxxas but after watching your videos i had to purchased an Arrma 4X4 Granite. Glad I did what an awesome looking truck. Traxxas make great products but they're expensive! Hopefully Arrma recognizes you and sends you some free goodies.Again thanks for the the videos they're so awesome. So please don't stop making them :) By the way, great driving skills. You make driving and bashing look so easy.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

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

[@Dmac13131]

There is a reason why RC Dude 81 says this is his favorite RC "Truck" Nice bash Vas

[@jaskilla785]

wow. thats the best flying rtr rig ive seen on your channel...

[@mtctookie25]

Nice bash Vas, i see she has no problem with jumping, now i'm sold. Think this will be my next Rc purchase!

[@harleydave2316]

Me too...

[@MrKingNica]

I concur

[@twrecks116]

Great Video Vas!! Arrma has Been on a Roll,Lately!! this is Another Keeper from Arrma!!

[@IDriveAnAudi]

Beautiful jumping and beautiful car! I will be getting mine in about 2 days. Can't wait!

[@1badk20]

I can not believe how well it stays level in the air. I may have to look into picking one of these up.

[@onemansvideos2134]

Love that chassis slap when it lands

[@sirgriffinman]

OH YEAH!! It's like Christmas!!

[@siteofdaniel]

I have been waiting for this and you did not disappoint. The car looks sick but the body cracking after one small crash is worrying.

[@PaulOff-RoadDownunder]

Oh ! Wow ! That fun blast might just change a few people's minds..... In a good way ! And i guess I got my answer on the tyres.... Damn they were hooking up for some great acceleration. Always love watching your driving Vas ..... Nice one ARRMA 👍👍

[@PaulOff-RoadDownunder]

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

[@AussieRCPlayground]

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

[@PaulOff-RoadDownunder]

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....🍻

[@W_T.F]

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

[@MrKingNica]

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

[@marcusallen2500]

Sweet spot 16 tooth 4s 👌

[@slick2500]

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

[@gonzodetroitify]

I think badlands are perfect for this rig for sure More so on this terrain Awesome bash too V😎

[@gatorchompjack1358]

Bro now I really cannot wait to get it sounded to me that you really really really really really enjoyed it

[@GreatLakesRC]

You can really tell when you enjoy a car, nice bash!! 👍👍

[@AussieRCPlayground]

+Aaron Weycker Thank you Aaron. 😊

[@akidim13]

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

[@TraysComedy]

You need to tell arrma to make a 1/5 scale version of the Arrma Nero big rock so we don't have to settle for a traxxas xmaxx

[@danielnavarro8569]

Amen brother!!

[@TraysComedy]

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

[@casper3oaks]

I'm with ya there!

[@longboardguy]

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.

[@pantag2]

I think your T-Bone racing mud guards are kicking rocks into the body.

[@Darylcrossbow]

dude thats a wicked car love it

[@realworld4740]

Really Nice!! It Looks So Sweet!! Awesome Info And Bash!

[@TheTechBuyersGuru]

What a flyer! Great vid!

[@tonyregalado7281]

Thx for the vid! Just got one of these today.

[@herl81]

Hi. Can you tell me your favorite 1/8 truggy (: Arrma talion , Kraton...) ? i would like to buy one. I already bough a bush master after looking at your review .. Thxxx

[@jaguar2164]

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

[@hyster16t]

Sweet truck. You need to get some round up and a shovel and have a working bee at the track.

[@VadiaMov]

Very good car! Arrma the best!

[@laprizzle7587]

This video inspired me to spend $500...damn this car is amazing!!!

[@AussieRCPlayground]

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

[@DoRC]

Adjusting the preload collars doesnt affect the spring rate (stiffness)

[@johnnycash7803]

Thank you I've had that argument alot

[@InTheDogHouse3DPrinting]

T Bone racing products are a few miles from where I used to live in Idaho. They make excellent products for a great price.

[@sotheamam1244]

Where can I find diff lock arrma

[@TOMMYTOM78]

Hey Vas. I'm thinking of picking up a second rc and really dig the Arrma brand. Do you recommend the Talion or the Kraton 6s? Love the channel man. Keep up the good work.

[@olds97lss]

Wonder what your temps would have been like in the grass. My outcast overheats in short grass with a 15T and 4S. The ESC just stops motion and the motor gets hot (160F+). I didn't hear beeping or see any flashing light or anything, but it's happened to me 4-5 times. I started with 16/50, then got a motor fan and a 15T pinion. The motor temp dropped 30F, but it still would stop on me during my second set of packs. Running at the skate park, it's fine pack after pack. On grass with longer WOT pulls, not so much. Kind of bummed, I liked the speed with 4S and 16T. It was also 84F outside the two days it overheated on me. Guess I'm just too used to nitro. Too hot, richen it a bit and rip it!

[@AussieRCPlayground]

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.

[@olds97lss]

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.

[@jorgevasquez8046]

Now we need the run on 6s please!! looks lime this will be my new rc purchase!!

[@AussieRCPlayground]

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

[@jorgevasquez8046]

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

[@rcrehab9623]

Great bash ! Hey I just wanted to say I have the same temp gun and those Lazer pointer guns when your useing them on something so close up like RC motors you have to aim higher then what you are temping so aim at the top of the can the sensor is below the lazor ..I've noticed this myself ..I temped my motor and it said 110° but there was no was so I raised it and then it said 160° so move the gin around a little to get the highest temp and then you will be good I just find it hard to believe those temps were right but hey who am I to say ..lol anyway good bash

[@realworld4740]

Can you make a video on how to change pinion gear on the talion 2018

[@W_T.F]

Is the 16T pinion suitable for 6S off road? Would I just pick up the pinion for the Typhon? If you have links where you make a commission for the optional Arrma and aftermarket 3rd party parts, I would be happy to use them.

[@MrKingNica]

One question is this so dialed in that it doesn’t need any thing for stabilization like AVC or TSM? I’m very curious because I really want one. Just want to know actually what to expect or if I will need to get extras?

[@rcweekend3296]

And about breakages any hapenned?

[@josepherickson7618]

Great video love the RC

[@schumifan78]

Hi mate, great channel 😎 What is the name of these tyres that you are so impressed with?

[@rc4life315]

Hi can you tell me what 16 tooth pinion are you using

[@franknapolitano9144]

Do you think this new Talon performs better than your Losi 8ight T w/ the Max8 Combo conversion ?

[@cretin99]

Will you be getting the v3 kraton?

[@STEVOD313]

Which do u like better this or the kraton v3

[@bbbrett2051]

Arrma makes very powerful cars/trucks my collection:vorteks mega 2:arrma raider bls 3:traxxas rustler next I'm getting arrma raider xp blx

[@bwooters8227]

do you have any tekno rc’s?

[@lakesidecrawler3511]

Nice 👍 awesome jumps and very capable car :) Greeting from austria ✌

[@lordofbasement]

140°C or F? You know what happend with magnets above 100-120 degree C?

[@AussieRCPlayground]

+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. 😊👍🏼

[@lordofbasement]

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

[@AussieRCPlayground]

+lordofbasement No problem.

[@RCTeamAustria]

great stuff

[@AussieRCPlayground]

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

[@troygodbeeplumbing3322]

Hi vas Probably a stupid question but why are temps not in Celsius .

[@AussieRCPlayground]

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...

[@troygodbeeplumbing3322]

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

[@teslacybertruck750]

Try putting a fan on the motor it helps a lot

[@rcjer6473]

while running my new kraton v4 on 6s with the robinson racing 16 tooth extra hard pinion I get up to 160 within the first 15 minutes. I was wondering if that is normal or not and also what can I do to fix it. I do live in southern cali where it is hot . I bash relatively hard, but not too extreme I see a lot of you guys bashing the kraton way harder than myself. Thanks buddy Great video,

[@AussieRCPlayground]

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.

[@rcjer6473]

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

[@amason85]

I'm curious if Arrma has refined the esc. I have the original Talion and it always seemed to act a little buggy with power delivery, never consistent. Thanks.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

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.

[@amason85]

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

[@richardcerni9996]

This thing's impressive. It didn't grab me when I first saw the car, but now after following its journey with your reviews, I'm hooked. It's really good. Definitely a worthy contender as a next potential buggy purchase. Do you happen to know what viscosity shock oil and diff oil it uses?

[@alexcast548]

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

[@richardcerni9996]

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.

[@anthonyarnold906]

Awesome rip man Maybe what I get instead of the kraton

[@jordanshim380]

So, Talion or Kraton? Overall?

[@theodoreso-hwan8957]

Should I get a slash 4x4 used or save up for an outcast. The slash 4x4 is 200 and the outcast is 350

[@AussieRCPlayground]

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

[@ELValenin]

OUTCAST!!!

[@toxic_aussie921]

What rc cars better this car or the sabertooth basher

[@AussieRCPlayground]

+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.

[@pepeparent9730]

Woww !!

[@bakermob29]

So does it jump good? Lol. Awesome video, Vas. I have to have one now.

[@ricksprings]

Are they coming out with V3 Kraton?

[@danielnavarro8569]

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

[@loeffelsupp]

Hi Bro,wich tires u use?

[@AussieRCPlayground]

These are the stock tyres. :)

[@timls8616]

Do you shim the diffs of any of your arrmas ?

[@AussieRCPlayground]

+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.

[@domesticcardetailing8295]

Should I buy this or the kraton .?

[@savagemt2]

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

Its vey enjoyable I HV Arma senton I'm one of the Arm user

I think my wallet just teared a little 🤣👍🏼

Do me a fav and open diff case see if they are typhon diff gears sick bash also lol...

[@kaozer666]

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

[@gut2000]

More warz!!!! But this is good to.

[@richduperbash2966]

Will say the handling looks dreamy!!! Floats like an eagle off the jumps. Impressive 4s bash. Think my wallet may be getting lighter again soon...Lol!!! 🙋🙋😲😲😲😵😱💪👊👊

[@cater4anytink45]

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

[@richduperbash2966]

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. 🤔🤔😎

[@davidboyd4026]

I just got one😊

I’m sold on the truck but this channel seems to be a copy of other RC channels. Would be nice to see something different but the truck is awesome!

[@AussieRCPlayground]

+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?

[@dejaya7945]

find another spot to drive already

[@jhue73]

these things are really noisey. gearing mesh sounds like crap.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

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

[@jhue73]

so the spur is steel?

[@Bornindafire]

What pinion gearing does this tuck have out of the box and what pinion would you recommend.. ? I was thinking 14 or 15 on 6s
