Arrma Talion eXtreme Bash (EXB) 1/8 Truggy with Smart Technology, RTR, ARA8707

The ultimate Arrma Talion RC Truggy

The Talion 6S BLX Speed Truggy has been given the full treatment by the engineers at ARRMA. The full EXtreme Bash (EXB) that is! EXB components have been hardened to increase strength and toughness in all the crucial points around the vehicle. What you get is 1/8th scale RC Truggy that is pretty much unstoppable. In a first for ARRMA, they have equipped this EXB vehicle with a ready-to-run Spektrum AVC transmitter and a Spektrum 6S brushless power system. Translation – a strong, tough mean looking machine that will go just about anywhere at a blistering 112+ km/h.

The design brief for the Talion 6S BLX Speed Truggy given to ARRMA engineers simply had two words on it – FAST. TOUGH. It starts with the laser-etched chassis plate which is made from anodized 7075 T6 strengthened aluminium. Adding rigidity to the chassis are the aluminium braces at the front and rear of the chassis, robust composite chassis side pods and a centre body support and brace all increase the Talion’s tolerance to punishment. The all-metal diff outdrives and gearbox internals plus durable steel driveshafts ensure the heavy-duty 4-wheel drivetrain keeps moving regardless of track conditions. Smoothing out the ride on the ARRMA Talion 6S BLX Speed Truggy is the EXB toughened suspension system with adjustable oil-filled shocks, steel rear suspension mount all supported by anodized 7075 T6 aluminium front and rear shock towers. The EXB skid plate and front bumper allow you to charge into just about any situation you encounter on the track.

Extreme strength, extreme durability, extreme bashability

Keeping your ARRMA Talion EXtreme Bash 6S BLX Speed Truggy grounded are toughened multi-terrain belted Katar tyres by dBoots. You’re going to need the traction they provide when the 6S capable Spektrum Firma 4074 2050Kv brushless motor kicks in. To complete the Spektrum electronics package you get a 2.4GHz DX3 DSMR transmitter, SR6110AT receiver, and, a 150mAh Firma ESC. This Spektrum package also comes with Active Vehicle Control (AVC) and Smart technologies included.

Working behind the scenes the DX3 transmitter’s AVC system makes hundreds of tiny throttle and steering adjustments per second to maintain traction control and give you extra stability when attempting jumps and cornering at speed without having to back off the power. AVC will assist on all surfaces at slow or fast speeds. When you think you’re ready to handle the raw power of your ARRMA Talion 6S BLX Speed Truggy unassisted you can just dial back the AVC from your DX3.

To fully utilise the benefits of SMART technology you’ll need to download the free Spektrum Dashboard app to your mobile device from Google Play or the iPhone App store. This app will give you access to all the telemetry capabilities via a BlueTooth connection from your DX3 to your mobile device (will require an optional BT2000 Bluetooth module sold separately). With this in place you will get a display of your remaining battery voltage, top speed and other crucial data all delivered to you in real-time.

With a high downforce wing and exclusive EXB gloss and matte effect finish your ARRMA Talion 6S BLX Speed Truggy is not only one tough hombre that goes like the clappers, it also looks very cool as well. For the highest level yet of durability, performance and looks in the 1/8th scale 6S BLX platform the Talion RC Speed Truggy is for those track bashers who want the best.
