Unboxing: ARRMA Talion 6S BLX 2018 70mph

[@FullOnRC]

Anytime I'm thinking of getting a new Arrma, this is the channel I turn to.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thank you Paul. 😊👍

[@timblahblahblah4904]

You have the best damn videos about this amazing hobby. You take your time and give all the Information. Keep it up brother.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thank you very much for the kind words, really appreciate that. 😊👍

[@rcisforme926]

Finally the unboxing we've all been waiting on

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Haha, thank you. Hope you like it. :)

[@Germanrcplayground]

Wow you make the best Unboxings on youtube for rc cars. very nice what arrma have done here

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thank you so much Ben, you are too kind. :)

[@JeffHengesbach]

Great unboxing Vas! Appreciate all the time and effort you put into these. Car looks great - I'm excited for what may be to come on the Kraton!

[@bakermob29]

Arrma is no 1 in the E-RC basher market in my opinion. Just love how I can swap parts between cars. I just put some Kraton hub and axles in my Typhon and it is awesome! Got 3.8 badlands running on my Typhon and it's a beast. Can't wait to see your running videos of this. Watch Riches but I have to turn the volume down because of the music he uses LOL. Sorry Rich if you read this. Love your channel too.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Running videos will be up soon, but first it's the speed runs. ;)

[@Megasty15]

I love how this thing handles. It can turn on a dime at full speed, on road and off. Of course I found by mistake when I got a little overzealous with the trigger at a ball field. I hit the pitching mound thinking that I could easily stop but I caught air & b-lined straight to the cage. I came down about 20 ft from the cage & only had time to turn the wheel knob & brace for impact. But it slammed the dirt, kicked up enough dust to blind me & b4 I knew it the damn thing was headed right toward me, & I was somewhere between 1st & 2nd base.

[@damondavis842]

It good to see Arrma making improvements to their line of cars. Good job Arrma

[@bigdaddyd82vapes92]

All in all.. across the entire Arrma lineup for 2017/2018 they have done a TON of design work and in the 8th scale bash market. You will not find a better selection at a better price anywhere. There are company's that have been around for ages. That continue to offer the same tired line of flawed vehicles at an exxtrodinarily high price. Year Tr after XX@S year !! Arrma tends to take customer feedback and get to work making the customer happy! Thank you Vas for showcasing this vehicle properly! Very well done as usual !

[@rcrehab9623]

Bigdaddyd82 Vapes great comment and I couldn't agree more arrma are truly moveing the hobby forward in a great direction. Improveing their products and innovating new products at the same time .. I can't wait to see the Kratonv3!!

[@bigdaddyd82vapes92]

Rc Rehab Yes absolutely! The new Kraton will be highly sought after for sure! I really hope other manufacturers take notes and fall in line. Arrma have redefined the market . And truly everyone else is falling behind. Tho that is for RTR . I do applaud the likes of Tekno and Sworkz and Proline . Fo offering bash style high end kits!! That is a brilliant idea! I have $2k race kits. And they handle and perform amazingly well. However I would NEVER bash them. But, I would bash a Tekno MT410!!

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thank you so much for the comment, Bigdaddy, and you're absolutely right. :)

[@bigdaddyd82vapes92]

Aussie RC Playground You are very welcome Vas! Thank you for continuing to share these with us! Rc is more than a hobby to me and I truly appreciate all of your hard work and dedication!

[@youfirst4412]

I agree as well but Hobbico has now disallowed coupons on Tower for all of Arrma's new lineup. This alone is why I gave Arrma a try. I don't believe the new upgrades justify the loss of the coupons. I think they took 1 step backwards with that move regardless if other company's do it. It really added to Arrma's value using those coupons...

[@TomasGurina]

The best unboxing video I have ever seen ! So much informations! Well done!

[@AussieRCPlayground]

WOW! Thank you so much, you are too kind. :) Cheers for watching and glad you enjoyed the video. :)

I've been looking forward to your review of the new Talion. Always a pleasure watching your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@ramonhuurman4493]

Nice video as always Vas. And what a nice truggy !!

[@stevemoon2136]

Gotta give props 2 Arrma 4 the way they listen 2 their customers & are continually improving the product. A real comparison to Traxxas who are essentially selling the same 10th scale crap they were selling 15 years ago. (Boo Traxxas!) Great upload, Vaz super professional! Thanks for sharing.

[@kaizen7852]

so excited to see Kraton 2018 review u r one of the best RC reviews on youtube mate

[@bogosero2637]

great video vas. And also underneath the body, it says ''don't just bash, blast''

[@ratchet2003]

could you do a comparison between the talion and the typhon

[@richduperbash2966]

Great unboxing Vas. Very solid info. Curious to see how this speed BEAST will take bigger jumps. Hope you go full force durability check at your biggest jump spot. I'm thinking it will perform well, but proof is in the doing of coarse. Props to ARRMA for bolstering their new rigs!!! 🙋🙋😲😲😲😱😵💪👊👊

[@sharpracingteam3301]

Definately a solid platform. Like the vids btw. I have been testing this a a racer against current powerhouse platforms (tekno et48.3, TA RC8T3.1, Mugen mbx7tr) with shocking results! One of the best truggys on the market imho.

[@philip4227]

Armas whole 6s lineup is bad ass. The infraction, typhon, talion, outcast, notorious, Kraton, limitless. How does one even choose??!!!! I'm leaning toward the kraton

Great video vas I really enjoy these first look videos from you . I don't mind the longer videos at all I would rather a long video as long as everything is covered so good on ya for that one and I'ma still trying to make my mind up on this one ...after the kraton is reveled I'll make my mind up on it .

Yes been waiting for this!!!!

[@lucasannio9320]

Awesome video vas looks so cool !

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thank you, Boosted, glad you liked it. :)

[@Negern91]

As always, great unboxing vas! I´m wondering, is the shock end partnumber different between the new and old Talion? I´m running typhon shocktowers on my outcast, and the shockend is almost to short makeing the shock spring collar hitting the a-arm. The new Talion seem to have more shock tilt than my modified outcast, that´s why I think the ends are longer, makeing the spring collar sit higher up. Can´t wait for the running video! Such a pleassure to hear you comment!

[@tommyd3jr]

That little locking nut was a super pain in the ass to fit when installing the rear chassis brace

[@pyroskeg69]

Great unboxing . Nice shots of the vehicle . Thanks 👍👍 THE RECEIVER PIECE 😲😲😃😃 Finally someone thinking about the wire mess 😎😎👌👌 I did not know the chassis braces had been spiced up .. that's great news 😃😀 You broke all your hyperSSt wheels also Lol 😅😅 Looks like the new Talion wheels might be a good upgrade wheel/tyre for the SSte 😎

[@crxsleeper18]

I was holding out for your review 👍👍

[@richardcerni9996]

Nice presentation Vas. I too have seen on social media all the other comments about this new vehicle. At the end of the day it's going to come down to an informed personal choice, and you have presented the facts for what they are, and nicely done. Not sure that i'm going to rush out and get one for now. At this stage I think I still prefer the previous model or the Kraton, but that again is only my preference. I've come the love the Arrma brand, irrespective. Can't wait to see the bashing video.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thank you Richard. The new Talion certainly looks like a different beast compared to the previous versions, but I don't think it will be any less fun to bash around or even take down to your local track. The emphasis is definitely on speed, but I think ARRMA have been very clever in how they did it and have not compromised its "bashability". But to each his own, there are plenty of other ARRMA bash machines to choose from in their fleet and hopefully there's one (like the Kraton) that you gravitate towards.

[@benrogersdevon]

I’ve ordered a Talion 6s. It should be here on my birthday which is on Tuesday! I can’t wait to get the batteries charged and in the Talion! I am worried about breaking it but have seen some going over high jumps and surviving. I will make videos of bashing and speed runs. I’m going to be fitting the bigger pinion when I’ve got used to the power.. my last car was a thunder tiger eb4 g3 on four s.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Congratulations on your purchase and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. 😊 And happy birthday for Tuesday. 🍻

[@benrogersdevon]

Aussie RC Playground thanks man!! Wasn’t expecting a reply cos you have so many subscribers. I’ve only got 3223 right now but aim to gain more when the truggy turns up. Fingers crossed, it will come on Tuesday. If not I’ll definitely have it on Wednesday!!

[@meanf1502]

That looks almost like the old hellfire from hpi I wish I still had mine great review

[@derekquinones8614]

Hey vas in your opinion what’s the more fun truck the talion or kraton what’s the major differences I can’t make my mind up between these 2 but I’m looking at the exb kraton and talion?

[@smithrevjosh1]

Dude love your reviews, but be careful, you have a shelf in the background. TRAXXAS uses shelves, they gonna sue.

omgosh 😂😂😂

[@zeeshanhb9520]

[@mojaverc1585]

Yeah traxxas invented shelves

[@824Icebox]

Which to get Nero or Talion? for general bashing

[@stivm2392]

Great vid. King

[@FalcoINC]

Are they not doing a V5 version with this car? Looks like the Kraton and Typhon go all the new v5 goodies. This car feels in-between the Kraton and the Typhon so I was really looking at it. But id want all the upgrades Arrma put in their other v5's

[@Juoperi]

Good job, Vas!

Thanks. :)

[@rcsendandblast1579]

Out of the talion and the kraton or the outcast what would you prefer

[@familyman8644]

I thought it only comes with spektrum radio. How do you get it with the tactic radio?

[@magnusm8779]

I do not know if you said it in the video, but have they finally upgraded bearings to rubber sealed ones?

[@blackbirdrc8348]

I kind of want to get a v4 Talion, Put some AKA tires on it, Do some other tuning and bring it to a track. Wonder how it stacks up against other truggies on a track? Any thoughts?

Wonder what kind of strength bonus they're giving with them D boots lol

I just binged watch uoladed rc clips for 3 days .. you are top on my list .. just getting into the hobby.. from Toronto Canada ..I obviously know I can't get all makes that is available to you .. what do you recommend ..looking to bash I guess ? I like the traxxas slash vxl 4x4 ..

[@pantag2]

You are doing the best reviews on RC cars. Awesome job. Now, waiting for the first run video. By the way, the new Kraton V3 is coming out. I have posted the specs on the Arrma forum under Kraton section.

[@santanamalcolm8048]

Instablaster...

[@andrewap77]

Nice review I have this version for a little over a week, and I love Arrmar products, on two of them out of the box I had tires come off of the rim due to no glue, and the other was just poor gluing making the tire wobble.

[@maverick1airsoft988]

Tank 62 same here

[@MrKalani938]

So if I bought this chassis for my v2 Kraton what all parts would I need to make it compatible? Battery tray? Receiver box? Chassis braces? Thanks for the review!

[@tristinmagness3093]

Hey Vas I have a question for ya! So I am in a dilemma with what vehicle I should choose between their truggy lineup. They all cost the same, but which one in your opinion is the best for the money? I have mostly been looking at the Talion, mainly because it looks like a supertruggy in itself, but what do you think?

[@felipeenrique3025]

Hello I'm from germany and want to buy this car too. But I have a little problem: I cant find a shop where to buy . So there is my question : where bought you it and how much cost it? Yours Felipe

[@thebluejelly7012]

What is the max battery mAh and C?

[@hardstylezrc856]

That minimum c for your packs, is that per battery, or for both battery's (example: 2x 5000mah 35-80c 2s, or 2x4000mah 30-60 2s) get it?

[@taevy12]

sir, I live in Florida. it can get very hot here. you think I'll have over heating issue with these cars ?

[@tommyd3jr]

Well done Vas

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thank you Tommy. :)

[@martintorres5962]

Beautiful talion

[@rc4life315]

Hey Aussie for the v3 talion i want to run it on 6s would you go two 3s or one big 6s i ask you because you know arrma vehicles

[@franknapolitano9144]

Would you say that this new Talion is superior to your electric converted Losi 8T and the Habau 1/8 Hyper Truggy ?

[@craftymgaming5362]

Is this as large as a racing class truggy? like a mugen mbx7r?

[@TranceFur]

Yes.

[@craftymgaming5362]

Awesome, thank you

[@johnpanayis6787]

I'm looking to order this to the uk hopefully in the next moth but was wondering if I should install my existing HobbyWing EzRun MAX8 esc V3 T-Plug & EZRUN 4274SL Sensorless Motor Combo instead of the stock sec and motor. What would be the advantage or dis advantage

[@AussieRCPlayground]

John Panayis You can definitely install the Hobbywing combo, but I’d get rid of those T-style connectors, they are rubbish. Stick with the XT90 connectors if you want to get the most out of that system. Personally, I see no need to change the stock system as it has plenty of power already, so it’s up to you.

[@johnpanayis6787]

Aussie RC Playground I will be honest I also have Dx5R Controller system so I’m debating to buy a chassis only. So do you think I would be going the right way with my esc and motor? Obviously I don’t wish to kill the diffs but I would love to hit that 70mph with a higher Pinion. Also what tires would you recommend for a mixer of playing on the road and the grass, I don’t really plan to bash Just possibly race around a track. Ps I really appreciate your videos, your reviews are brilliant

[@timls8616]

are you going to buy all the new 2018 line ?

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Timothée Liens I’ll have some, but not all. You’ll see soon enough. 😉

[@Norcopunk]

vas can you do a side by side comparison between this and your v1? thanks

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Sure, I might do that in a upcoming video I have planned and will squeeze that in. Cheers

[@madmonster5182]

Yes yes yes that’s great from you to review this car thanks a lot I just want to make my mind and come out with the right choice of buying arrma cuz I kept feeling kraton is the best among all other versions of arrma, outcast and Nero, but once I saw the video for the tailon and it’s speed limit I had a second thought to be patient and see what would be your thoughts on this one... looking forward seeing how this one will perform in your test. Many thanks vas..

[@kylematesic]

Aussie RC Playground thank you Vas.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

No problem. :)

[@joebran5413]

I'm not sure about the Talion V1 but I know the V2 was not released in Aus because it didn't sell compared to Kraton and Typhon. I like the fact its faster then the Kraton and a better basher then the Typhon plus I think it beats both in the looks department. For these reasons I had the V2 imported from the US. This V3 version looks good but I'm a little skeptical that it can run 10mph faster then the lowered V2 . Would have preferred upgraded electrics with roughly the same ride height. Looking forward to what the new Kraton has to offer.

[@craftymgaming5362]

gear diff or ball diff? if it is a gear diff, is it sealed?

[@AussieRCPlayground]

+Craftym Gaming You’ll find that, traditionally, 1/8 scale vehicles will have sealed geared diffs. Ball diffs are mainly used in 1/10 scales and even more common in 2wd buggies. Hope that helps. Cheers.

[@craftymgaming5362]

Thank you so much! I personally race a 1/10th scale but have absolutely no experience with 8th scales. Looking at this Talion to just play around with between races. Thank you!

[@embeen9547]

Your vid made me decide to buy a Talion. Thanks for the videos. Will you be doing a review on the 2019 V4 Talion anytime soon?

Hey Glenn, do me a favour mate, stop spamming my channel with these comments. You've been posting this exact comment all over my videos and that's not how you get subscribers or other people's respect. Do it again and I will have you reported.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

+BADDAZZ GARAGE Once again you’re going on about something I know nothing about. What help do you seek? The only help you seem to need is professional help by someone with a degree. You started an argument with me over something that had nothing to do with you over a month ago and then proceed to spam my channel with the same comment and think that was ok? No, it’s not ok. And no, I don’t consider us enemies, you do. You started this, not me. And if you want my help, ask. Do you not have any sense of social etiquette? Do you not know how to talk to people in a nice way without a condescending tone? Mate, I’ve done nothing to you and all you’ve done is accuse me of ignoring you, ignoring my viewers and then use my channel in the hope to grow yours. And all this while we’re “enemies” - your words, not mine. Again, if you want my help, ask. We are not enemies, but we are not friends either, so maybe start there and stop acting like this.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

+BADDAZZ GARAGE So after all that you don’t even ask for help. Ok, suit yourself. But just for the record, I don’t consider you my enemy, but I don’t consider you a friend either. Every comment you’ve left so far has led to arguing for no reason and I can only hope that changes in the future. If you left a comment for me to help you and I missed it, comment again. Or try to reach me on Facebook or Instagram. Hell, I even have my email posted on my channel if all else fails. It’s not that hard to get a hold of me and would have saved a lot of time had you not resulted to this argumentative nature you seem to have. Sorry about that professional help comment, didn’t know you had been ill and I meant nothing by it. It was just a bit of “tongue & cheek”.

An FS racing and HSP monster truck and my recent Turnigy 4wd Pro.

[@yoranvaatstra6249]

yoran vaatstra Look out for some aluminium upgrades and a 6s system is purely down to a descent esc and motor

[@yoranvaatstra6249]
