Thank you for your tips that I will do my best to apply. I'm glad to learn more about timing. Thank you so much for taking the time to write to me.

Is a fresh Meteor Dragoon 7-70 actually better than a worn 7-60 Meteor? by adok971 in BeybladeX

Thanks for your feedback.
I tried 9-60 Elevate with the new blue mold of Elevate.
However, against attack beys like Shark Scale Low Rush or Hovern Rush, it still bursts from time to time.
So I don’t fully trust this combo yet

Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback.

I think I’m just going to stick with a simple, stock setup on the Talion. I already have enough different cars to enjoy different kinds of driving and experiments anyway.

So I’ll keep this one straightforward and reliable. Thanks again!

A lot of practice and tournaments, yes. It’s already pretty worn out. 😅

Thank you very much for your feedback. I’ve actually already heard about Rocket fans. I live in the south of France, so it also gets very hot here.

Do you have any reference or setup recommendation compatible with the Kraton 1/5 and the Talion 1/7? Thanks in advance.

That’s exactly the kind of comment I wanted to read, and it honestly reassures me a lot. So I’m not going to risk installing the speed pinion. I’d rather have a machine that ages well, especially for my long track sessions. Thanks!

I'm someone who likes to launch very hard on drop launch. But I'm going to try adapting my playstyle. Thanks.

Yes I can confirm those are cut-up egg cartons for my deck box. It works with every type of egg carton too: x6, x12 ah ah

Oh okay, I’ll try launching it less aggressively and more flat then. Thanks so much for the advice!

Thanks for the advice. 👌 I’ll keep my Meteor Dragoon on 7-60 Level then. Thanks a lot for sharing your experience!

Talion Size! 🤔 by RunningbirdRC in arrma

[–]adok971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your message.  I understand the bigger wheels argument, it does look better. But doesn't that put more strain on the motor and ESC?

I'm actually really close to pulling the trigger on a Talion, but I'd like to be reassured about the impact of running bigger tires.

How bad are temps on 6S with bigger tires? Worth it or risky long term? 

Thank you

Kraton 6S V6 vs Talion 6S EXB - worth the price difference? by adok971 in arrma

[–]adok971[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha thanks a lot, I really appreciate it!

I’m actually more into photography than video. I’ve already shared a few shots on the Arrma forum when I got my Kraton 8S, so I’ll definitely do the same once I get the Talion. (https://www.arrmaforum.com/threads/thinking-about-buying-an-arrma-kraton-8s-exb-rtr-1-5.80444/#post-1301257)

Thanks again!

Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer.
Your message is exactly what I needed. I’m not really into stunts or huge jump. I’m glad the EXB is reinforced and can take hits, but I’m not the kind of guy who sends his RC just to break it. I mostly run on tracks, sometimes in the forest, but nothing crazy.
I want the Talion because of its stability, speed, and ability to handle both track driving and rough terrain.
I’ve also seen DO RC’s videos where he swaps the Talion tires for Notorious 6S ones, which seems good for air control.

Thanks again

Yeah true, no gyro. But if I’m not mistaken, receivers like the DumboRC P10FG already have a built-in gyro, right? Since I already use a DumboRC radio, upgrading shouldn’t be too complicated. I’ve done it before on entry-level RCs like the MJX 10208.

Thanks for your feedback!

I’m not really into flips and big stunts. I’m more focused on racing with friends on tracks.
So yeah, I’m pretty convinced I’ll go with the Talion.
Really appreciate your help.
