Typhon TLR "d" block interference with other chassis

[NastyNate]

As the description says, I am finding improper fitment attempting to mate the TLR system d block ( only d block - everything else fit fantastic ) to a v - 4 truggified typhon with shiny parts - for shits and giggles.

I'm thinking dremel to the d block.- has anyone dealt with this? I searched.

I've had that issue where the center tab was a bit too wide to fit into the chassis, but never had issues with the outside of the block being that far off. That's a lot of material to have to be removed.

Arrma did change the rear of the chassis when they revised the v5. it's now narrower.

Here's a comparison

That’s good info, I didn’t realize that. When did Arrma release/revise the V5?

V5 came out at the end of 2020, but the change was done few months earlier when the EXB Kraton first came out, mid-2020

Thanks everyone for the confirmation that this indeed needs to be modified to fit!

I would personally dremel the chassis instead of the d-block. so it would fit future chassis

Interesting thought.. I appreciate the feedback! I never even thought about this option...

This is the way I will proceed.

Thanks Yonic!!
