SICK RC Car! ARRMA Talion EXB Speed Monster | RC Driver

[@rcmakingtracks18]

Ha, brilliant, yep I brought one too. Love it, and agree it looks like it doing 100mph just sitting on the bench. Fantastic truck. Gotta love Arrma. John

[@sethnicholls7861]

Easily the most aggressive, and my #1 personal favorite style/posture/overall design language of any basher RC to date. Most capable looking truggy, w the performance to match it's good looks? Hell yes!

[@sabresswords]

Amazing car man. I absolutely love mine. I was able to hit 74 with a set of street crusher tires and a 100c 6s battery. Thing is super stable at speed and very fun to drive.

[@patmarcus172]

Great to see. Just got one, too. My first 6S car. Also very impressed with its build quality and driveability. Looking forward to the bash video !

[@sprc3352]

Great speed test and review Greg !!! I am still on my V4 Talion 6s , IMO , if you had to pick one Arrma this is it !!!! It gives you a lot of everything from speed / handling / durability / jumping / etc !!! As a fellow CT RC guy , RCM is having their first bash day May 21st , hope you can make it !!!!

[@Sherky59]

I love my talion exb. It's so underrated. Only the guys who owns one knows how much of a beast this truck is.

[@jasonmitchell8733]

What batt do you like to use?

[@PhilBender612]

Nice Greg , looks like a great addition to the lineup

[@PhilipCockram]

Great review . Lots of details and plenty fast .

That’s one Bad RC. And would look awesome next to my Black Fireteam.

[@mikelester5416]

Fire team is the dumbest rc car ugly

[@Ohwell423]

Love my talion exb. Definitely my favorite

[@RC4X4]

That is sweet! Your killing me though with all these awesome RC's. I will probably have to get one.

[@nickrobertson2450]

Oh I do like your reviews. You have such passion. "That's so sick!" lol.

[@mikescallon4288]

Such a fantastic vechile. Shame Arrma discontinued. I did one speed test on a 21 tooth and hit 68 mph on crappy road. Definitely more speed in the tank. Such an easy vechile to control as well. We also grabbed a Proline Kraton Chevy truck body and trimmed it to fit, then changed to a slightly bigger shock tower which Arrma included in the box btw. Now we have a realistic vechile witt real windows. Best thing is it adds a significant amount of space to the interior so things are not so cramped like with the stock body.

[@Blastfromthepastrc1346]

Probably the coolest looking Arrma truggy at the moment 👍

[@RcOffroad9513]

Dang this looks nice man! 😳 looks really tough, should be a solid bash truck! Great video!

[@QuinnsRC]

LOL @ standing on the tailgate for "line of sight." Could hear in your voice that it was a self preservation move. If I tried speed runs on that road, I guarantee that I'd have a car in that pond quick!

[@thomasthetankengine7153]

Little late to the party with this one but it's a must have on a RC collection 👍

[@rcchallenge8626]

Really like the look of the Talion out of all the 1/7 1/8 Arrma range this is the 1 I feel will be the best off road, Basher, track car ie do it all and do it all well where as everything else seems aimed more at 1 or the other 🤷‍♂️

[@josephmorelli3191]

Nice job!

[@droningharry]

Arrmas OG speed Truggie and mine hit a wall all out twice just destroyed it replaced the chassis and almost everything else both times and learned my lesson got to give it lots of room for beast mode, LOL! 70's great but it will go faster with a bigger Spur and Pinion (hint, hint). Look forward to more from you on it.

[@paulclancy2404]

Smaller spur use the 46t instead 50t

[@SliverRc]

I'm going too get a set of Talion wheels for my Wide-Maxx.

[@S9RUT]

The wagging at speed is solely caused by the AVC. Turn it almost to 0 and you won't have the wagging when speed running.

[@ccrum32]

Yessir!!

[@Fpsnut]

I find that 50% AVC is the sweet spot on my Vorteks. At 100% it's too sensitive and you're fishtailing like crazy at full throttle. BTW, AVC does really work when properly set and makes these cars manageable at high speed. Without it if you hit a small pebble at full throttle and your car does a 45 degree turn, you have very little time to react before you smash it into sidewalk.

[@MRMechanicRC]

Woulda liked to see some jumps, but may I just say that thing is QUICK!

[@moereefer]

I really love the truck u own real truck. Plus I can’t drive the R/C trucks with AVC it’s great with Arrma infraction v2 and Felony. Thanks for the review

[@maltesrc]

Really Love it Greg🥰

[@stormycannon8904]

Nice beast .

[@whistlinlipo]

That is one dangerous speed run road! lol

[@rcdriver]

People rip on their real cars on that road and guys race motorcycles side by side. So no problem for an RC car. 😄

[@darrengaynor4966]

What speed monitor is that please?

[@lawrencejones553]

It's a SkyRC GNSS Performance Analyzer.

[@DOUBLECheeseburger247]

Always look forward to your track footage and…where is it?

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

I want one of these. I also want something besides a truggy 😂 If this was more different (I know it’s a very different animal) from my Kraton exb I’d already have one. The body just looks like a sleeker Kraton exb body. Does it handle as well as trucks like, say, the Tekno MT410, Erevo 2.0 etc? Not durability etc, just handling. Thoughts?

[@OneWheelTwoSkis]

Should have came with extra body posts, longer ones, to solve the body clearance when using larger batteries. This thing is a champ at climbing steeps.

[@readeracingRC]

thanks Bro. I have been debating on what truck to buy, the Talion or the Outcast. I have the Kraton's. So i ordered the outcast. kinda wishing i should have bought the Talion instead. maybe down the road. thanks man, keep up on the vids, always looking forward to the next one. Peace.

[@coreycash3016]

Awesome job as usual sir, I have a question if I’d like to off-road this RC like a 6s kraton could I simply change the position of the shocks and add a bigger more off road tire like a backflip?

[@rcmakingtracks18]

I run LP backflips on my talion, and it loves em, more control in the air for long jumps and a little more ground clearence. But the original tyres are great for speed... john

[@10krms54]

Will these rear shocks fit a typhoon 6s rear shocks

[@driverman8615]

What app do you use for timing??

[@vicortiz5105]

New Sub great Vid👍🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

[@Victic005]

Is this chassis longer than the Kraton and same length as the Mojave?

[@hellofromsoutheastalaskarc7517]

Hello from southeast alaska

[@jvallido]

nice speed runs! i have an outcast 6s exb and was wondering if the talion wheels/tire would fit on an outcast? do you think it would help reduce the wheelies for speeds runs with the outcast?

[@jonvoogd511]

Have you put the speed gear on your outcast,that should help with those monster wheelies . I've got a Outcast so know what your talking about.

[@jvallido]

@@jonvoogd511 yes, but it still wheelies and requires alot of throttle control. i wonder if these talion wheels would help.

[@jonvoogd511]

I'd think they'd be a bit small.Might just just need to get use to it ,man I l really like how it handles.

[@paulclancy2404]

Yes exactly what I do have run smaller wheels to get power to ground talikn wheels are good but wear fast use th backflip LPS AND 17 or 18t pinion

[@paulclancy2404]

They cheap and very durable no balloning still good for the dirt

[@fonicgaming6787]

I just bought a Talion EXB for my bday this month, and the body doesn’t fit the body posts?? It’s like the holes in the body aren’t correct? I checked the exploded view and the body posts look to be the correct ones that are installed. Any ideas?

[@HGynaika_mou_me_mpaouliazei]

Can I put the 23t optional gear on my red talion 6s blx or is to much the 23t for the previous red armma 6s blx?

[@christianhvidt6823]

Like to see how fast it goes on 4s🤜

[@old_and_slow5471]

If it was just a roller priced the same as the Kraton EXB, I would have one.

[@rccarsandmusic2641]

[@robertb.4202]

I definitely want one! I already have a 6s LIPO and charger. Just need the truck. 😁

[@EJ-74]

I love the Talion. 🔥 I've never owned one but from the many many vids I've seen this thing is a 6S beast. I'm saving up to get one and a set of Kraton type tires. What are the best bashing tires for the Talion ???

[@paulclancy2404]

Lp backflips don't use regular kraton size wheels too big

[@New2Kendo]

After seeing other videos on how easily Arrma chassis bend, I question if they are actually using T6 aluminum or if they don't heat treat something correctly, because even the Kraton has the same issues

[@aggrosaxon459]

M2c

[@maartenmk]

T6 defines the hardening, so then it wouldn't be T6. But note that bending stiffness increases with thickness to the third power. So a 4mm M2C chassis will be over twice as stiff as a 3mm Arrma one, even if the material is the same.

[@New2Kendo]

@@maartenmk I haven't seen a M2ç Chassis in person but I hear great things. I will say I have seen how easily the Arrma Chassis bends compared to other Chassis that are the same thickness and material, and the Arrma is soft. Could it have been a fluke or one off incident, absolutely, but I believe that Arrma is having an issue somewhere in their manufacturing process, I don't know if it's the aluminum the heat treat, the design, or any combination of reasons, but IMO there is an issue

[@paulclancy2404]

Nah just arrmas are better on a higher level than skills of there drivers . If going send at 60 mph you have land on wheels or get m2 chassis . Other rcs may be more forgiving but not hitting jumps with same intensity and speed. And support bar in-between the towers is also a cheap way to make chassis twice as strong

[@paulclancy2404]

But the stock chassis are junk , I still use till they worn or bent because I also like to keep rcs light as possible

[@Phaser1x]

Want. 🤤

[@ClevelandRips]

That’s an awesome car!! Would love if you would give me a shout out! I’ll mention your channel on all of my vids. 🤜💥🤛 happy RC’ing

[@jakesrc3020]

Why they discontinued this truggy after one year seriously horzion u should aleast kept it out alot longer its not even old maybe a re released so what am not arguing just sucks to see it go away

[@atkracing]

I’m not fan of the new Talion. I like the V1 Arrma Talion it was a true truggy.

[@mikelester5416]

Arrma is trash anyways mine didn't last a week electronics took a shit 💔😠

[@paulclancy2404]

Spectrum not arrmas nothing has same bash intensity as arrmas kits are smaller too expensive to involved to bash and change parts. But only rcs that compare , traxxas more durable for bad driving but no way same drivability for good driving .

[@Hoosierdaddyjones812]

Those servos are junk, I've had 2 take a crap out on me after 3 or 4 packs through them. I love my arrma cars but the rtr need some better servos at least. I upgraded to a better spectrum for 60 bucks not one problem on my vorteks since.

That's like every RTR servo ever put in an RTR model. They're just bad servo's 🤷‍♂️ But at least aftermarket servos are great!
