My Typhon 6S is true to the claims as well. I haven't used the high speed pinion yet, but I've gotten 68mph on the slow one. The box advertises the same 70+ mph as the Vendetta with the optional gear that's included.

[@bradd145]

I have 3 Arrma's now, and they have been my favorite vehicles in over 30 years. If you run Traxxas, you will fall in love with Arrma. I have a 6s Kraton(destroys), a Felony 6s(absolutely shreds), and a Limitless V2 on the way

[@williamperri3437]

@@bradd145 BUT!!! You are missing out on 1 of the baddest RC's ever: the 3s Typhon! Stock wheels are excellent but after running them three or four times I moved to the 6s Typhon Wheels. The 6s Typhon wheels are excellent on road and off-road but once they lose their tread they become on road slicks that grip extremely well. I run a hobby Wing set up in mine and it does about 70 mph on 3s so I go between 2s and 3s. Absolutely in love with it on Road and off road but on the road I drop the suspension and lower it a little bit. Stock setup is extremely plush and tuned well as long as the shocks don't leak. There's tons of options now for upgradable shocks and for a few years now they've been using a better motor mount so the bearing issues from the past with 3s Motors are not as common. If you get bored with the setup you can turn it into a little 3s Truggy Typhon by widening The Stance or you can convert it to a Big rock crew cab or 4s Kraton. Both 3s on road rigs are awesome too! Don't get me wrong my favorite RC to jump ever is my 6s Typhon and I send that thing about 60 to 80 ft EASY but for bashing I like the 3s rigs better.

[@paulbooth282]

Yep as Phil says you'll love it, im thinking about getting one to add to my collection, got the Kraton 6s v4 and the Limitless v1 amongst some rare cars and theyre both amazing, but the Limitless is fantastic best rc purchase ive ever made, great for speedrunning, bashing or even drifting and ive had loads and loads of different models, got nearly 20 years experience and worked in my local hobby shop for years even done work experience there 😂 so go and get yourself an Arrma on road you wont regret it 👍😎😜

I have a brushed infraction I've turned 3s BLX via the go bits from my Granite BLX and it's such a hoot. My ideal kind of driving around on flat dirt or pavement is drifting/powersliding and out of the box even on the puny brushed stuff, it's a complete blast. I'm in the process of setting it up with Hoons Elevens Silver wheels and a ProLine Mustang GT body. The Infraction BLX is the same as the vendetta BLX, I think it just has a different pinion and of course a different body. You could swap body posts and body and there you have it. It's absolutely a huge blast. It's even more fun on a loose flat dirt oval etc.
