So rich what are you running as far as your electronics and pinion and spur gear

[@originalkontrol]

Rich, as usual, your driving skills are pure sorcery. Finally subscribed. Thanks for all your info, I just ordered my Typhon 3S and will be going through all you vids (and any others I can find) for upgrade info! Keep up the killer work, thank you!

Thanks for all the tips Rich. Love the 3s BLX. Such a nice basher for the price. If you haven't got it already I highly recommend the tbone racing basher bumper. I've hit a pole at full speed with it and no damage at all. Also stops it digging in when you mess up a jump.

[@richduperbash2966]

Thanks so much Brother 🤗. Just saw your comment 👀. Fantastic basher for the price indeed. Truly appreciate the feedback on the Tbone too 👍. Been running the 6s Basher bumpers for years on the other rigs and they've done great. I'll definitely grab a 3s one. 🍻😎💪👊👊

I wish these shocks weren't discontinued. I've tried the zd racing shocks and I'm not too impressed with them. They leak and the shafts bend just as easily as the stock ones. I just bought a new set from Jenny's rcs from the V3 Typhon. We'll see how they hold up and if they leak or not.

Thanks brother 👊!!! I use Tekno rod ends (TKR6140B) with either Arrma or Tekno steel pivot balls. Arrma Nero HD rod ends are also beefcake and may actually be stronger. Tekno's have a locking spring perch so you never loose your spring or holder. 🤘🤘😎💪👊👊

[@bwoodard907]

Hey there duperbash, is there something wrong with the stock shocks that come on the typhon 3s? Just curious cuz I’ve been upgrading a few things on mine and thinking shocks may be next. However is it necessary to bash fairly hard, or are the stick ones gonna hold up? Sucks they’re not adjustable other than the spring tensioner clips. Let me know if you’ve found a better upgrade for shocks? Will the 6s typhon shocks work? Thanks man!!

[@FLSharkdiver]

Question #RichDuperbash, I have a pair of the 6s #Typhon shocks on my 3s #Typhon ok! I am doing more speed runs vs bashing with this rig! Would weIght shock oil would you recommend if I am only doing street runs with 6s ARRMA #Typhon shocks installed? I think they come with 80w stock from the factory that I bought from JennyRC.

[@richduperbash2966]

I'm not totally sure on the best weight for speed runs, but think most guys run on the heavier side 🤔. I believe the Typhon comes with 500cst or 40 weight (atleast it used to) and Kraton/Outcast comes with 80 weight/1000cst. Most speed run setups are lowered with droop adjustment and shorter shocks. Obviously, there's no droop screws on the 3&4s models, but there's ways to limit travel. You can place spacers or fuel tubing inside the shock body under the the pistons...etc. 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thank you Brother 👊. I'm not sure how fast she is out of the box with stock gearing, but pretty quick. Super fun and durable platform 😍

[@SargentSkroonk]

Hey Rich, try using a Granite body mount to protect your shock towers. You can snip the nipples 😮 off for a smooth finish. It does a great job protecting the tower. I use a Granite mount for the front and a Senton mount for the rear for my Senton-Typhon hybrid Mega. I run no wing, so the Senton body mount works for the rear tower.

[@richduperbash2966]

Thanks so much Chris 👊!!!! That's funny cuz I was already thinking about doing something similar up front atleast 👌. Really appreciate the tip Brother 👍🤘🤘😎💪👊👊

[@SargentSkroonk]

@@richduperbash2966 the Arrma mounts are instructable. The mount sets come with a front and rear, and one of them hangs over the tower further. Paired with the TBone Granite bumper, my towers won't touch the ground without extreme force bending the body mount. Thanks for all the cool vids 👊 Peace from Vancouver, Canada.

@@richduperbash2966 - Where did you get those 2mm Axial spacer from brother?

[@richduperbash2966]

@@FLSharkdiver thanks so much Brother 😊. Just need to clarify on the hub extensions. Remember the Typhon 3s comes with 17mm hexs already. It's the only 3s model that has them. ARRMA designed them to fit a specific axel that's different from the Big Rock, Senton, and Granite 3s. My original mod using the Slash HR 12-17mm (10mm offset) extenders works on those other 3s models. Hot Racing then later released a direct fit option for the Granite that also works on the Senton and BRCC. The only way I've found to widen the Typhon 3s is by using Redcat 17mm hexs. I tried it to run GRP's with no wheel rub and they work. Think I had to drill out the hex pin holes slightly. Make sure to join the Facebook ARRMA 3&4s forum. All this stuff is on there in the search function. 🍻

[@allthingsfun5879]

What pinion are you running on it. I can’t go up to a 21 or 20 cause the esc starts to act like it’s on lvc mode and it dials down. I have to turn it off and back on and I get another maybe 60 seconds and it doesn’t it again on a fully charged 3s lipo. Would you happen to know why? I’m running the stock 15t pinion.

[@richduperbash2966]

I'm still running a 20T pinion with original Badlands 2.8 tires glued on older Proline F11 rims. My guess is something is off with your ESC. You can get cogging on takeoffs when your gearing is too tall, but your ESC should only be shutting off if you're hitting thermal (getting too hot). That takes some running around to happen. 🤔

[@swiggity.swooty1854]

do you have a video on your senton 4x4 with all the parts and upgrades you have done ?

Not exactly 🍻. But I'm running all these 3s rigs with the same basic upgrades. 😎💪👊👊

[@chrislooysen]

I know they're different, but your opinion Rich on Senton vs Typhon overall? And does one handle better than the other in rough terrain?

[@richduperbash2966]

Both handle very well, but the Senton has a little more weight to help keep it planted. Neither rig is ideal in rougher terrain. Both are light and will bounce around like a 1/10th normally does. It comes down to tweaks, tuning, and throttle control, but the 6s and heavier rigs do better in choppy rough terrain. 🤗

[@chrislooysen]

@@richduperbash2966 thanks man, that's helpful to know. Every time I watch your vids I learn something new that makes me lean another direction. All of the 1/10 Arrma trucks I'm looking at (Granite/Senton/Typhon) seem to be on backorder virtually everywhere, so I'm not pulling the trigger yet, just doing a lot of research. I will most likely run on grass, street and some sand, just want to make sure they'll do pretty well overall in these conditions. The slight tweaks seem to make huge differences and your vids help a lot with understanding what mod helps where. Much appreciated man!

For dry bashes, I blow them off with air compressor and wipe them down. For wet bashes (or after enough dry dust bashes), I rinse them off, spray them with Simple Green 50/50 water mix, scrub wherever needs it with scrub brushes, rinse off, dry with a shop blower and air compressor, hit all bearings with WD-40 Silicone spray and run the car again briefly.

Rich after all of these years did you ever come up with a Kraton wing mount solution? I break one every 4 days (although it’s cold here in NYC). Rpm broke faster than stock lol. I will say the Tekno wings hold up great, I used to break the Kraton stock wings easily in winter.

[@richduperbash2966]

Some guys swear by Hot Racing aluminum ones🤔. I still just run stock Arrma HD ones. Try soaking it in WD-40 for more pliability. I'd let it sit overnight at least. Cold weather is brutal on plastics 🤪🤘🤘😎💪👊👊

[@wolfpack7182]

Aluminum??? No Fn way lol, sounds like disaster because I have the Voltage towers and wing mount. I think it’s a design flaw TBH, it’s a long mount compared to trucks that mount it to the tower directly. Maybe Mitch can whip up a delrin one or a different way to mount. It’s def a problem.

Like i said i have a monster truck so terrain i will leave to that haha im torn i do want a buggy again an generally im not a fan of truggies they usually seem kinda unstable specially on like tarmac or a road if you turn i guess im curious how does the talion handle in those conditions? Most of the videos ive watched of yours you are absolutley airing a vehicle out on some dirt jumps haha your videos have led me to the intrest in an arrma rc. I wont do traxxas not because they dont have a good product but when i bought my cen genesis 16 years ago forums were riddle with traxxas fan boys who told me to get rid of it an get a traxxas instead of helping me lol plus arrmas vehicles to me look more appealing to the eye!

@@Havenscoming1 the Talion is more planted than the Typhon in stock form. It's incredibly stable and fast. I'd say it's the best handling Arrma available. Put some original Badlands 3.8s on and it's like driving on rails. I absolutely love my Typhon 6s, but it's "Truggified" with Kraton hexs, axels, and hubs for an inch wider stance. Put MX28s on and it's 2" wider total. For high speed drifting, nothing touches the Talion in my opinion. 🤘🤘
