Arrma’s GREATEST Achievement (So Far!)

[@Bongface.]

Starting a petition to bring the original Allen back. Thumb up to show support.

[@Jeeplee_rc]

ALLEN!

[@winteronice]

Allen!

[@50pAndie2pounds2]

🦫Allen 😂

[@paulmcnamara2908]

Defo need Alan back!

[@ronwalsh]

Must bring back the prairie dog. ALLEN!

[@jeremycravens6973]

It took me about $300 to make what Arrma is selling for $199! It's a big reason I love Arrma. All those upgrades and only raised the price $50! Take note traxxas!

[@Nerm78]

Traxxas will have a upgraded Mini Maxx soon for $50 more soon! NOT!

[@BishyRC]

Does make you wonder why the upgrades are so expensive though. I’ve spent approx £700 on all 3 of my converted groms, accounting for selling off stock stuff too and still don’t have the alloy shocks or steering links. With these and the mini maxx I think I’ve learnt not to buy the first version of something!

[@KnockedSoup]

@@BishyRCreplacement and upgrade parts are the primary source of revenue for hobby grade rc brands. If they sold them at cost or for the price per part of a full car it would be a significant loss!

[@donniemarks94]

I knew I’d see some sort of traxxas bitching lol

[@Nerm78]

@donniemarks94 lol, glad you found it!

[@guest6423]

Even if you don't need the extra speed of brushless, buy the BLX for the added durability of the steel diff outdrives and upgraded shafts. You'll save money in the long run. I like the sane approach to this review!

[@stwright1977]

Arrma NEEDS to release an Infraction Grom BXL. It'd make the world a better place!😅

[@TomleyRC]

I 100% Agree 🙌🏻

[@eljr6800]

💯

[@kendotek9414]

The tire budget on a Grom version of the Infraction would be so much more manageable!

[@TRAVELER197]

My brain couldn't take it, too awesome!

[@bepowerification]

Alan's back!

[@TomleyRC]

🐿️

[@50pAndie2pounds2]

​@TomleyRC😂😂😂

[@mrmagoo.3678]

ALAN!.

[@vitodambra72]

Well i love my Typhon Grom BLX on 3s and no diff concerns, different story with my mini maxx on 3s 😡 🤬 Traxxas messed up

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, no comment 😅

[@Boltboy-kh7yw]

​@TomleyRC I pray a 3s mini maxx comes soon (you know they're going to do it eventually) Hopeful price 350 without battery and charger Updated difs Maybe aluminum shocks I know it's a pipe dream but I would also like metal driveshafts

[@stevecreature4837]

its kinda built for 2s and not for 3s there is an upgrade for "3s diffs" i believe

[@Boltboy-kh7yw]

@stevecreature4837 you are correct The vxl difs

[@s109apache7]

Yup… good ole traxx ass

[@robertkenney7122]

that color way is absolute perfection! takes me back to my 80's childhood watching stadium\super trucks!

[@WestyCoastHermit]

The black Grom is calling my name. Looks so good! Thanks a bunch, and I hope you and your family have a lovely Holidays!

[@williamoleary9330]

I picked up two Grom Typhon brushless. They are absolutely fantastic!! Just another fantastic release from Arrma!

[@itscaptainterry]

I hope Arrma won't up the prices after hearing you. December budget is gone on Christmas gifts already, but January-me will be going shopping for the brushless!

[@mikeuk2981]

Same if its price holds ill get one for my daughter if its gone up ill get something els as for me the car is already £230 if it dropped under 200 ill get it asap

[@winteronice]

I'm waiting for my bonus to go Senton shopping.

[@geek9642]

I absolutely love the pink colour schemes that Arrma are doing now.. I think I need a Christmas present for myself

[@SylphidUndine]

driving while filming truly takes skill. i can't even steer with both hands.

[@bennovak4182]

Aside from the absolutely stellar rc vehicles..@10:00 Phil's shoes those Addidas are freaking sick! Nice kicks brother..had some similar back in the day!

[@magnusstone]

They look fantastic. How do you like the Typhon compared to the LC racing stuff? For bashing.

[@BeardRubEnjoyer]

I second this question. LC stuff looks impressive, would like to see a full review.

[@dexterbeattie7884]

That Mojave is fantastic!!! Merry Christmas Phil. World's best Rc KZbinr!

[@barnesmbe11]

Surly that will fit in the suitcase 😂...I got the mojave grom brushless yesterday..🎉

[@TomleyRC]

😅… you’ve not seen what my wife’s packed

[@Raptor50aus]

Link to the bag please?

[@randylivengood3112]

I can’t wait for Santa! He’s bringing my daughter the Mojave BLX in the pink and teal colors. I have the Typhon BLX, and it has changed my life! Highly recommend these things.

[@jagergerg9771]

Insane speeds for those Mini RCS box stock. Deff a nice grab for a Christmas gift or to yourself.

[@BeardRubEnjoyer]

I was laughing at the "real" MPH as well. Cheeky old Arrma, gotta love em. I got the 223 as well, nothing but impressed.

[@GatorRC]

you're the best RC KZbinr out there!

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers mate. Appreciate it 👍

[@Brettoh]

The exact same Mojave Grom arrived in the post yesterday. Other than the IC2 connectors (snippy snip), it’s perfect!

[@slowstang88]

I love the arrma truck body, looks eerily similar to my 2016 F150 😊

[@alxgu198]

Love the trainers Phil 👌, can’t help noticing when you’re doing the speed runs 😂.

[@davidhammond9381]

I love my mojave 223. Fantastic little machine on 2s or 3s. It does everything- fast, drifting, jumping, off road the lot. Arrma hit the top with this thing!!

[@Nerm78]

It only took me an hour to make it through this video due to storms but it was worth it! Great little cars and great video!

[@raptor6799]

Got my thyphon couple of weeks ago what a quality item and great fun. Had a granite grom also previously as you say having paid for all the upgrades on that, these are great value for money from a big brand. Granite wheels or the pro-wheel wheels make it even better. Be interesting to see if they make a granite brushless, there isn’t space for the fan which is why I think we probably won’t be getting that unfortunately hopefully though.

[@wikyWargaming]

To beef up lexan bodies I like to use JB Weld Quik Weld. Doesn't add too much weight and makes them darn near invincible.

[@Weasel8888]

That Mojave in that color scheme alone! Seriously going to be the one that brings me back to the hobby; i would enter but I wouldn't ever win: Good Luck to everybody that enters! Have fun!!

[@RedLionRC]

Haha, Phil is absolutely killing it with that shirt today, pure legend! 😄 Finally, someone who says what so many are thinking! Traxxas fanboys, take a seat. Who else loves this shirt as much as I do? 🔥🔥🔥

[@hairypaulmm7wab195]

@Tomley RC Can't find 'link in the description' for the Horizon Bigrock ? Bit of a bummer as I can't take part in the raffall thing due to not having a bank account or any form of online funds and I thought I could at least have a go at the Bigrock, but can't find anything about it in any of the available links.

[@earthcoloredeyes5043]

I love that our generation are now running these companies, it’s like the new age of RC.

[@henryplaidjacket7860]

Groms are killin this segment. Nothin better.

[@Macgyver46]

Im so glad I waited to upgrade. I'm getting the brushless versions for myself and now I have 2 brushed groms I can let people try and not worry about a first timer.

[@TheK20eg]

I literally just drove my Typhon Grom yesterday for the first time its fast ashell however it does run hot on 3s and i love your little silver pickup truck 🔥

[@CANNINGRC]

The typhon grom still has the shock tower problem

[@TheflyingkiwiRC]

Which is?

[@CANNINGRC]

@TheflyingkiwiRC If the shock tower breaks its a hole rebuild

[@robhotson1882]

My greatest ach6was getting a Policewoman to get out the speed gun and measure the speed of my HPI RS4 Ken block that I converted to Flux power, 56mph. She also videoed it doing donuts in front of her Bww Police car and uploaded it to the Police site

[@teinspringz]

Phillip! Philip! Phil! Phil!! Sweet flyby at 50+ mph 🎉

[@iainscoines]

Hell yeah brother and a merry xmas 💯❤‍🔥 fingers crossed on the raffles❤‍🔥💯

[@stefan-norge]

Picked up the Mojave today 😃 Great review 👍🏻

[@carlmarkham13]

The review I've been waiting for. Planning to get a typhon in January although now I'm wondering if I should go for a Mojave 🤔 Choices, choices, choices. Love your videos, thank you.

[@JT-wf8cc]

I want that black mojave so bad! It looks so awesome! 🔥

[@memphysmoto2649]

The new Groms are cool and look great, yesterday I was able to run 80mph on my Mojave Grom V1, but I have spent a little fortune to make that happen, greetings from Miami, FL 🇺🇸 and Merry Christmas 🎄

[@TomleyRC]

Wow… 80 is crazy!

[@maclainsxl]

I am so glad you made this I was waiting on you to do it could you do a little build with one too just tires and upgrades that could be done because I have a feeling there is gonna be a lot of people that wanna see a small build and then a full motor and esc upgrade but rn I just want to get a good idea of what fits and helps

[@Gixxer515]

Curious. Did you subtract all the stock parts prices

[@TomleyRC]

No, because I did it as if you already have a brushed one and want to upgrade 👍

[@Gixxer515]

@ gotcha I was watching at work I’m sure I would have got that in context with a bit more attention lol.

[@brickfollett]

Yep I'll definitely echo that this is an amazing value. It was NOT cheap to upgrade my brushed typhon grom and beef up all the drivetrain with the metal diffs and cvds and such but dang it's a hoot

[@harrypostlethwaite8152]

Where do I go to enter into your competition?

[@stephenlay9580]

Great little cars, my daughter has the brushed mojave, she races at Millend RRC ❤

[@Rich-eg6qb]

I have a brushless mojave, I've only run it on 2s. Its an absolutely incredible truck. I have a lot of fun with it.

[@demoths]

I spent a LOT to put a castle system (the SW4 might be overkill but oh well) and a bunch of steel driveline parts onto my grom, and it still doesnt have stability control.... And here arrma gave us all that and more for a few bucks more. The brushed versions are absolutely obsolete now, in the best way

[@darrenmathie1145]

" Arma durability " .. 😂 GO TRAXXAS!!!

[@GreatLakesRC]

The Typhon Grom BLX has impressed the heck out of me! Definitely the one to get 👍

[@TomleyRC]

It's so fast!

[@somethingbrutal666]

put a 2oz fishing weight in the rear and it keeps it stable mid air.

[@Alexanderkowaliuk-s7i]

Wait a minute,,lets see that real truck, what are you doing bro.😂😂❤

[@TomleyRC]

haha

[@37077]

Nice little truck. I will be buying either the typhon or the mojave . Brushless, of course.

[@S5UPERCHARGED]

The motor gets a bit warm on 3s, i found that a 30mm rocket fan fits in the stock fan mount perfectly

[@maclainsxl]

I got one as a gift and was waiting for your video on it and even saw where you commented on their post of the cars so I’ve been searching your name and Mojave grom blx glad you got one!

[@FpvOverAlaska]

Im running the typhon grom blx up here in Alaskas snow and ice and rain and its been a real champ. Freezing temps wont keep me and my boy from having some rc fun ❤

[@CK4RC]

It's so refreshing to see REAL, ACTUAL, ACHIEVABLE speeds on the box! I am curious why the Granite Grom hasn't gotten the brushless treatment yet though.

[@DimMakTen]

Ive trimmed the inside of the body supports and i got a 4200 stubby 2s fitting perfectly.

[@JamesBond-hz2tn]

2 awesome little RCs I like the typhon more 👌

[@marcel4002]

Hello Tomley, I recently saw your KZbin short with the 45th 939. What body mount did you use on that? I've tried different magnetic mounts, they all work but still kinda suck. They're too finicky...

[@diederikb9485]

Do enjoy watching your channel. Is the competition open for South Africa aswell?

[@draglinemazda]

Impressive for the Mojave, my senton parachutes and back flips at that speed lol.

[@jrrubio1706]

The typhoon is awesome just 3s is too much for an exposed front shock tower it’s too compromised but these blx’s are fun

[@Jeeplee_rc]

Man the typhon from might be my next smaller scale rig. I've got several of the big ones and they're incredibly strong. The arrma 3-4s line is all incredibly strong

[@Panster7]

3s in that look absolutely lethal!

[@andrewyanick1486]

Where's the link to the big rock raffle?

[@MCsCreations]

Oh, the dogo! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@TomleyRC]

Haha… I took him all the way back to his owner 😅

[@terryturner5360]

I'm thinking some street tyres on the Typhon might be something for drift/bashing.

[@HaleFPVRC]

I bought my daughters their first rc’s over the summer. Youngest got the typhon grom the oldest got the granite grom. I was so upset when less than two months after I bought them they released the brushless versions… now I’m upgrading them for Christmas. Thanks arrma 😝

[@rcre7839]

Is the competition open to those in Australia?

[@deanturton8458]

What speed GPS do you use

[@larsulrich2369]

What is your LIPO runtime with the Mojave and the stock battery ?

[@JCpNK]

My two favorite RC's right now! Love them both for different reasons but the power to weight ratio and durability is top class. Only problem is I had to get two of each because my daughter kept stealing mine lol. But for the price not an issue.

[@kevin.walker1964]

Always a great review of cars I got back into the hoody watching your vids and love the hobby and all the cars I have .

[@Pehesara_Gaming]

Review the MN99s V2. Its the 2nd version of the MN99s you reviewed. Its way better than the old one. It might even beat the Fayee FY003-1.

[@onemanmayhem]

Ugh. I have the granite V1, managed to blow the rear diff by maxxing the suspension so the dogbones were yanking... But I love how it handles at slow speeds, not too easy but learnable (M-75 speaks here) I'm trying to replicate 1:1 rock bouncer feel, not too overpowered! Think it's time for the mojave V2!

[@stevedakin8321]

Can't see a link for the Arrma bigrock.. that would be my choice. Apart from that I appreciate all your reviews and enthusiasm. Keep up the good work.😊

[@PaulWarren555]

Awesome little trucks, can't wait for the brushless Granite Grom to come out 👍

[@Slikx666]

Happy Christmas everyone 👋😀

[@TMIVRC]

Mr.Tomley I love your videos and I love your love for arrma and all things mini because little and mean and packs a punch is simply just to cute to resist !

[@MCsCreations]

Awesome bashing and review, Phil!!! 😃 The black truck looks sweet! Merry Christmas! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers mate. Have a good one too 👌

[@Jpunitt]

This or the new Arrma fury blx? I'm torn.

[@Pablo668]

Those little trucks are solid. Quite tempting.

[@coygtrc]

They look and drive awesome. Probably be my birthday gift in March, as I decided on a Losi Micro-B for Christmas 😅 Thanks for that review 👏🤝🎅

[@johnwayne666]

I wasn't gonna say it anymore, but i can't help myself....its Christmas everyday...😂.....

[@jozefmrkvicka4223]

that black mojave looks amazing

[@soma_rc]

Servo for these seems to always be slow out of the box, after about 20 left-rights they are pretty fast. Did the rear dampers have enough oil? Mine came with one not properly filled.

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, I noticed with the Typhon that it gradually got quicker and quicker. Didn't check the oil, but plan to set it up properly soon

[@besticanaffordantiques2565]

You walked in the garage while you were talking about a giveaway, I thought for sure you were gifting someone the Hilux.

[@ronwalsh]

I had to pick up a few tickets for this giveaway. I know where I can spread the joy.

[@cutterbacon]

Sat here building a quite amazing tlt max climber. Does it get any better than tamiya? No. 3 diffs,belt driven,4wd,4ws and bombproof chassis 😎😍

[@cutterbacon]

Running a johnson 4 hole from early nineties lol :P

[@TomleyRC]

Sounds awesome. I always wanted one 👌

[@cutterbacon]

@@TomleyRC Merry xmas have a fantastic new year and thanks.

[@drewr34]

I’ve just bought a ticket 😁 love the look of those Mojave’s 🤩

[@alfredyost7972]

I had the original Arrma Grom 1/16th brushed truck. I saw that Arrma was going to release a brushless version of this small truck. I did not run my brushed version and sold it on eBay. I got the brushless version now. Like you said, it is too expensive to upgrade the brushed one, so I sold it and got the brushless one. Thoughts?

[@erickvond6825]

Yeah mate! Those are brilliant!

[@paulmcnamara2908]

I seriously likey the black/gold Mohave!

[@MayhemandMirthRC]

Quite a generous 1/18 scale

[@tyrellcorp2118]

Same wheelbase, but isn’t the width different? The bounce is quite different. I think the shocks are the same length but the Mojave comes with 1000 cst, the Typhon 2000 cst. Not sure if the springs are the same.

[@japyoo2248]

So in the end wich one? I ordered the mojave cuz it looks better but typhon looks more stable?

[@V8chump]

Traxxas has some great trucks, love my Xmaxx and trx4 but man Arrma and redcat absolutely crushed them this year. Hopefully they make something NEW next year that is truly good
