If you're running an ARRMA Talion, you already know you've got one of the most capable speed trucks on the market. The 1/7 TALION 6S EXB 4X4 RTR Brushless Speed Truck hits blistering speeds right out of the box — but like any serious RC enthusiast, you're probably already thinking about how to push it further. Here are five upgrades that actually make a difference.
1. Tires Built for Grip
The stock rubber on the Talion is capable, but if you're bashing on varied terrain, purpose-built tires pay off fast. We carry the DTX Warthog 3.8" Monster Truck Tires ($49.99) and the DTX Bandito 2.0 All Terrain Tires ($49.99) — favorites for ARRMA 6S owners who want consistent bite on dirt, grass, and gravel without the unpredictability of worn factory tires. The Bandito especially shines on mixed surfaces where you're hitting different traction zones mid-run.
2. Wing Mounts That Don't Break
Wing mounts are a classic wear item on speed trucks. We stock the RPM HD v2 Wing Mounts for ARRMA Kraton 6S EXB ($23.95) — RPM's glass-filled nylon construction handles crashes that would crack the stock plastic mounts. It's a cheap upgrade that saves you frustration on repeated bashing days.
3. Front Bumper and Skid Plate
The RPM Front Bumper and Skid Plate for ARRMA Kraton 6S ($20.95) gives your truck a beefed-up front end to absorb hard landings and nose-in crashes. Simple to install and built to last far longer than OEM plastic. If your Talion is seeing any serious air time, this is a no-brainer.
4. Proper Hex Drivers
Not technically a "performance" upgrade, but any ARRMA owner who has stripped a set screw mid-bash knows the pain. The Dynite Hex Driver Set, Metric 4-piece ($45.99) keeps you honest — the right driver every time, no more rounding out screws in the field because you grabbed the wrong size.
5. Upgraded Wheel Hexes
ARRMA's aluminum wheel hex upgrades (available in 12mm and 14mm variants) add durability right at the wheel mounting point — exactly where repeated hard landings put stress. The ARRMA Aluminum Wheel Hex 12mm (4-pack) is a quick swap that pays for itself after the first major crash you walk away from with no damage.
