I just picked up a Talion a few days ago and I love it! I went to pick up a Typhon based off your review and running videos, but this was in stock and I couldn't resist. I felt this was the best balance between the Typhon and the Kraton. Ran it on an indoor carpet track all afternoon and it handled amazingly well considering it was a bit out of place on a 1/10 scale track. I threw on some 3.8 proline mashers and took it outside and bashed it hard in the snow and it was a beast! Great reviews Vas, Thanks!
As always, awesome video bro! "I'm not Italian, it's a Talion!" Nice. Never would have thought of that one. I think you're right on the money here. When people ask what the difference is between the Talion, and the Kraton, this truck is very much more a true 1/8th truggy, and the Kraton is much more like the E revo, which is a monster truck, truggy hybrid. The lines of this rc are awesome, the design is top notch, and kudos to Arrma for releasing so many awesome new rc's!
Great video once again Vas I would say the kraton is a "Muggy" which is a monster truggy I mentioned it in one of your many Facebook posts haha, anyway keep up the great work can't wait to this in action :)
i also like the new arma kits a lot....amazing bodies, quality electronics, and sturdy, robust and simple chassis ans shocks, from now on i have to fully recognize and accept arma as a top notch quality hobby grade rc brand on a par with hpi, thunder tiger, losi, hobao and others!!! great unboxing preview mate, thumbs up!!!
Lol Vas sound like the person who come on the speaker during a cruise that gives out information regarding events and information. Nice voice, He sounds cool.
The main difference between the Kraton and Talion are in the AXLE 8x38.5mm for the Talion and 8x44.5mm for the Kraton, the CVD are the same for both. The other difference are the HEX 17.6mm for the Talion and 24.7mm for the Kraton. The third difference are visible with eye, half inch offset rim. Good video Aussie I like your show :)
That body looks so good that if I wanted a Kraton, I think I would get this and just swap the tires. Very much looking forward to the running vids to see this thing in action.
OK that is one freaking sweet machine was thinking about the kraton but I think I want the talion instead now has for the running bid wanna see it fly have fun bad and thanks for all the reviews and unboxing you have been doing keep up the good work
i love your channel man... great job on the review videos... very informative, i'm on the look-out for a truggy. have my eyes on the Talion.. i envy your rc collection.
Haven't been here for a while, I'm looking forward to the Senton, 6S in a 1/10 is gonna be unreal. Honestly apart from the tyres and the body, there really is no difference between this and Kraton, hopefully you will shed some light on which one we should buy.
Wow, you must have read my mind! How exactly did you sneak this in without me seeing it? I've been thinking that I'd love to see you do a thorough and objective review of this truggy, and here it is! Additionally, you compared this to the Kraton, TT ST4, and Saber Tooth, all truggies which I've been considering for my next project. I think the Talion may find it's way into my RC collection! You sir, are awesome! I agree that the Kraton, E-revo, and with the addition of a wing even the TT MT4 would best be described as Monster Truggies. I appreciate the time you take and hard work you put into making such informative videos. Keep up the good work! I look forward to seeing this on 6S!
Aussie RC Playground You deserve it VAS! You have become one of the most trusted sources for accurate RC reviews! Curious, have you ever considered doing a review of the Exceed Mad Beast? I've heard very good things about it, and the price is very reasonable.
Great video, I was wondering what the difference was between this and the Kraton. Wonder no more! I am looking forward to viewing the running vids. Thanks.
ha ha ha ha love the bloopers that joke at the start must have been going on all the time when ARRMA was making the RC car. its great can't wait to see it.
Another great video! 9:40 you say that the towers are 4mm thick. They´re actually 5mm thick. No biggie maybe but it could also be a selling feature for Arrma... I don´t know. Looking forward to the running videos!
Great video .... Car is stunning !! I have a question .. what do you think about the kyosho fo-xx ve? There are not many reviews on it ... I'm a little concerned that everything is exposed inside ... there is nothing to protect against rocks gravel and all kinds of flying objects Thenks
Great unboxing. I was looking at these cars at the hobby shop today and your video had 10x more info than the fellow that was trying to sell me the car. Have you seen the new 6s sct by arrma?
Hi Vas, awesome unboxing video, as always. Have a couple of question to ask you.....would the body of this car fit the Kraton once the roll-bar was removed? Also, would the Kraton's wheels/tires fit straight onto the Tailon? l just think the Kraton would look better/meaner with the Tailon's body......maybe Thanks in advance!
Well now I want to see what exactly are the differences between the Kraton and the Talion....is it the wheels and tires or are their other differences under the lid? I know you pointed out the sizes but could you do a lid off comparison please....I am saving to buy the Kraton but I now I also like the Talion and I would like to see each one is side buy side to see what else is different ...Because if the are exactly the same except the wheels then the choice is easy....the cheaper of the 2 but if their is other changes then the choice get tougher....and please keep up with the bloopers too....I have now been fast forwarding to watch them first because I can't wait to see them ...then I go back and watch the whole video...lol it is like a kid who can't wait to get home from the store to eat the candy....lmao Great Video!
Question: If you could only buy one of these 1/8 ARRMA vehicles as a basher, which one would you choose given what you know now about these vehicles? I was interested in picking one of these vehicles up at some point so I watched the release of the Kraton and Typhon vehicles during Christmas time to see how they worked out. Given the initial ESC troubles, waiting seemed to be the right call.
I'm looking to get a new rc and i love the way truggys are the looks the handling but i no that not a lot of brands sell rtr 1/8 scale truggys i don't want to spend a lot of money on a conversion so would this be a good option i have never herd of this brand and i don't want to regret buying the truck i have a slash now and its fun i just want something bigger and faster
Hey I just wanted to say that I like your videos. I just got back into the hobby a few months ago with the slash 4x4. Then I got the Typhon and a scx10 deadbolt. My next one I want the Senton but like the size on the Talion.. I cant get the Senton till end on April. You have to do a video on the Senton!!!! Hey keep up the great work!!!
How do you compare Talion with Sabertooth? After servo, motor and esc upgrade Sabertooth just cost more less the same as Talion, so is it less hassle to go for Talion? Thanks!
Great unboxing and review!! Very clear and great usefull information.. I had a Traxxas E Maxx brushless but I sold it, now I want another Rc car just for bashing, dont know witch one to choose... Arrma Python Arrma Talion or the HPI Vorza Flux... Dilemma haha
Advertised as Ready To Run, but does NOT come with a much needed expensive lipo (4S at least, and around $70.00 each). No LIPO charger, and no Tx AA batteries. Tower Hobbies should list rhem as ARR.
mazpr2025 Most "RTR" RCs are sold in the same manner. Other brands such as HPI, Thunder Tiger, CEN and even Traxxas will sell their cars as "RTR" without batteries. It's how it works. Reason for it is because it makes it easier and cheaper to ship these products around the world.
Russell Jones I've actually found a few other subtle differences that I want to show in another video. This was just to compare looks mainly, but there's more to it once you take the body and tires off both trucks. Stay tuned...
Thx for this unboxing Video,thumbs up for your great Channel,i love it. And i want the same Mad Max 1 T-Shirt,but i think its not available in Germany.
Nice video! Hey aussie rc I would love to see a video of your son and his thoughts on your channel, favourite cars etc. considering he is quite involved in your videos, it would be nice to see his perspective on of thoughts on rc. :)
Hobby shops will sell them or you can look online - eBay, Tower Hobbies, Amain Hobbies, etc. It's just a MOD1 pinion, so it's very common. Anything from 17T or higher can get you to 60mph.
I hate when they say straight out of the box. "No" it's a option straight out of the box with speeds up to 60 if you choose to take it apart and add the gear needed to reach that speed.
Hi vas plz review the 3rd generation Arrma Tailon I’m keeping the link for you to see it I need to see and compare which is better this one or the Kraton plz make it quick you already have kraton v2 so it’s easy for you to make it... thanks ... ua-cam.com/video/YauBQAfpP8Y/v-deo.html
im just pointing out that the moment i saw the box i thought of traxxas :) besides, i think it's a good thing they did it because nothing catches the eye more than those traxxas boxes when you are at your LHS :)
Love the comparison between different cars really great as most of us guys won’t ever have all the cars. Like being in a model shop but better 👍
I just picked up a Talion a few days ago and I love it! I went to pick up a Typhon based off your review and running videos, but this was in stock and I couldn't resist.

My plans are to get all 3 also. I loved the comparisons because I wasn't sure until now that I did want all 3. Great video, love the outtakes.
i also like the new arma kits a lot....amazing bodies, quality electronics, and sturdy, robust and simple chassis ans shocks, from now on i have to fully recognize and accept arma as a top notch quality hobby grade rc brand on a par with hpi, thunder tiger, losi, hobao and others!!!

Finally 1080p Vas, I can feel the difference :)
That is just beautiful my friend. I think I'm looking at my next rc. Wow.
Great video, I was wondering what the difference was between this and the Kraton. Wonder no more! I am looking forward to viewing the running vids. Thanks.
ha ha ha ha love the bloopers
that joke at the start must have been going on all the time when ARRMA was making the RC car.
its great can't wait to see it.
thanx man i got the talion didnt even bothered with the electronic got my self max8 esc motor combo :)
Enjoyed watching as usual. Thanks Vas!
Great video Vas. Love the size comparisons. Thx.
Very very nice, i'm loving the new ARRMA Truggy bro!
Another great video! 9:40 you say that the towers are 4mm thick. They´re actually 5mm thick. No biggie maybe but it could also be a selling feature for Arrma... I don´t know.
Looking forward to the running videos!
Ah, thanks for that. I'll have to put something over it to correct that mishap. Cheers
NO WAY, I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE MONTHS BEFORE YOU GOT THIS
Great video .... Car is stunning !! I have a question .. what do you think about the kyosho fo-xx ve? There are not many reviews on it ... I'm a little concerned that everything is exposed inside ... there is nothing to protect against rocks gravel and all kinds of flying objects
Thenks
how would this compare to the team durango DEX8T
Cheers Mate!
I love these out-takes and had a funny lunch breake.
Why didnt you mentioned the problems you had with the raider servo?
Can't wait to get this one.
Great unboxing. I was looking at these cars at the hobby shop today and your video had 10x more info than the fellow that was trying to sell me the car. Have you seen the new 6s sct by arrma?

Why is this cheaper then the Kraton? By the way great video, always look forward to a new video from you.

Hello ! Do I need to check whether there is a lubricant (oil 7000) in differentials, if I buy in the store Amain.com? Is there oil?
With the A arms being the same I assume this Talion could run the wheels that are on the Kraton?
I'm looking to get a new rc and i love the way truggys are the looks the handling but i no that not a lot of brands sell rtr 1/8 scale truggys i don't want to spend a lot of money on a conversion so would this be a good option i have never herd of this brand and i don't want to regret buying the truck i have a slash now and its fun i just want something bigger and faster
I'm reading this a year later and hopefully you got this or the kraton.
Race Wars - Talion vs Sabretooth? ;)
Hey I just wanted to say that I like your videos. I just got back into the hobby a few months ago with the slash 4x4. Then I got the Typhon and a scx10 deadbolt.
My next one I want the Senton but like the size on the Talion.. I cant get the Senton till end on April. You have to do a video on the Senton!!!! Hey keep up the great work!!!
Looks solid and ready to beat upon!
Nice I need something from arrma so nice ! Good review
Looks like Eddie VanHalen did the designs on the body,still looks pretty cool though.
How do you compare Talion with Sabertooth? After servo, motor and esc upgrade Sabertooth just cost more less the same as Talion, so is it less hassle to go for Talion? Thanks!
Great unboxing and review!! Very clear and great usefull information.. I had a Traxxas E Maxx brushless but I sold it, now I want another Rc car just for bashing, dont know witch one to choose... Arrma Python Arrma Talion or the HPI Vorza Flux... Dilemma haha

do you know how simular this truck is compared to its race kit version the team durango dex8t?
Blue red white is american color right @AussieRCPlayground?
Does the Arrma talion v2 come with the tactic radio station?
Sharp looking for sure
Are there any differences between this and the kraton, or is it purely looks? :)
So u could run a 3s and 2s pack together to make 5s or only 4s total or 6s total thx
iz it really reliable some guys saying problems with esc burning up
which one is better the talion or the typhon
So is it a Kraton with different tires and body?
Russell Jones I've actually found a few other subtle differences that I want to show in another video. This was just to compare looks mainly, but there's more to it once you take the body and tires off both trucks. Stay tuned...
i love the look of truggies
hey bro whats thoes after market tyres and rims your running and where to get them from
Thx for this unboxing Video,thumbs up for your great Channel,i love it.
And i want the same Mad Max 1 T-Shirt,but i think its not available in Germany.
Nice video! Hey aussie rc I would love to see a video of your son and his thoughts on your channel, favourite cars etc. considering he is quite involved in your videos, it would be nice to see his perspective on of thoughts on rc. :)
Are you able to put different Bodies on the talion or is it made just for the body it comes with?
xADJ Cheesy You can fit most 1/8 scale truggy bodies without any problems, so after market options are available.
cool... the Arrma Crew..! ;-)
Aussie RC Playground Is the Kraton worth the extra $20?
I say, yes
Thanks , I just got one ! :)
noooooo, why didn't you just get the wheels and body? Still nice though.
That's what I thought :( Oh well
it's not the same as having all three I guess
heeelmooi I got it because I can. ;)
Aussie RC Playground well alright then :)
Yeah heeel, duh :P
Kraton or talion I'm looking to buy one
I search for a good but not very expensive Rc Car. Wich car did you think is the best?
+RC Channel Depends on your definition of "not very expensive". What's your budget and what type of RC are you after?
+Aussie RC Playground 250-350 $
what is better between the saberthoot and the talion?
+Mika Kabra The Talion is the better car, but it's also twice the money. The Sabertooth offers great value for money and is a strong performer.
Where you get the additional on to get 60 mp/h?
Hobby shops will sell them or you can look online - eBay, Tower Hobbies, Amain Hobbies, etc. It's just a MOD1 pinion, so it's very common. Anything from 17T or higher can get you to 60mph.
I hate when they say straight out of the box. "No" it's a option straight out of the box with speeds up to 60 if you choose to take it apart and add the gear needed to reach that speed.
nice buggy
Thanks great video!
Coolest. Tshirt. Ever.
How much does this buggy cost?
$479.99 USD
4.5 mm driveshaftsarent really massive anymore when your baja runs 9mm : P
where can i buy one : )
+Sen Ras I got mine from Tower Hobbies, but if you google it, you'll find them in a lot of places these days.
ARRMA GOD !
Those are 2015 mustang front lights
my favourite looking rc
different paint and I´ll buy one
thanks you
Great!
It the spider truck!
Anyone know a working short course truggy $90 $ 120 on any website
eBay may be your best bet :)
its spider mans car
Hi vas plz review the 3rd generation Arrma Tailon I’m keeping the link for you to see it I need to see and compare which is better this one or the Kraton plz make it quick you already have kraton v2 so it’s easy for you to make it... thanks ... ua-cam.com/video/YauBQAfpP8Y/v-deo.html
xD that pun
ARRMA Talion Vas ;)
goorl
Your unboxing videos are to fast to understand what you're saying!
Im from Amsterdam.. and I can follow him perfectly
***** im 15 and from the netherlands and i can understand him easy
I'm from Mexico and everything was loud and clear.
the box is a total rip off of traxxas boxes :)
19snowy87 Thankfully, the car is not. Besides, it's a cardboard box, who cares.
im just pointing out that the moment i saw the box i thought of traxxas :) besides, i think it's a good thing they did it because nothing catches the eye more than those traxxas boxes when you are at your LHS :)
19snowy87 Haha. True that. Traxxas do know how to advertise their product, so why not take some tips from what they do?! :)
