Last fall I was running my Slash 4x4 & my neighbors son came outside & was watching me. He asked if he could drive it (the rest of this happened in less than a minute & was all MY fault), I said yeah & started in on telling him to be careful, that he saw how fast it was blah blah blah as I handed the radio over to him. Before I could take a second & set ESC to half power, he had the radio & his dad came out walking the dog & talking to me...Distracted for just a few seconds I realize I hear the car wide open & as I turned my head towards the car I see & hear @ the same time it slam pinned right under the front wheel of his dads truck. UGH!!! Cracked chasis, steering servo & a couple other things. Lesson learned. He was really apologetic & I told him not to worry, that's what it's all about. Drive em, break em, fix em, break em again. 100% my fault & no reason to be upset at the boy. Nice video!

[@billynowhere847]

He did you a favor! JK JK JK!!! ARRMA & Traxxas are my fav's.

haha, if someone else broke it, it's cause you let it go eh? :) Hope you got it fixed up though!

[@GoFindAsafeSpace]

I remember being their age in the early 90s and seeing a traxxas hawk 2. It was one of the most spectacular things I have ever seen to this date. I remember being speechless at how big and fast it was. In actuality, it wasn't that big or fast but to my little 8 year old brain it was marvelous lol. I've been addicted to rc's ever since. I have no doubt you created a life long rc hobbiest on this day. You should be proud 👊😊

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thank you so much. 😊👍 I certainly hope some of those kids have a RC under the tree this year and they get hooked on this great hobby. 🤞😁

Thanks Eric. I'm sure that drain will claim one of my cars at some point. LOL. It was fun having the kids around, they were pretty well behaved and they cheered on the cars as they jumped, so I didn't mind having them around. 😊

Well, I usually have rude bikers at my track. They try and run over my cars and tbh its just kinda weird. Nice video, ill prolly get a typhon soon.

[@itsmeericb]

So the this will backflip with proline 1/8 buggy Badland tires? I know it won't really do it with the stock tires. Also with a 15T pinion. Does having a higher tooth pinion does that allow it to rotate better in the air?

[@andybcardoso1978]

Great video Vas! i love watching the reaction of kids when i bring my RC's to the bmx park. They are so amazed and always ask if they can try. I feel bad offcourse telling them no but these machines can be dangerous and potentially hurt simeone pretty badly. Nice backflip btw smooth as butter indeed! Cheers

[@olds97lss]

I had a few spectators today while I was running my ERBEv2 at the skate park. Parents with their 5yr old (guessing) daughter who was on a scooter/blade thing. She would let out a squeal every time she saw me jump it. Back when I used to run nitro more frequently, I could have been in the most distant corner of a park or abandoned development area and sure enough, kids would hear it running and show up out of nowhere. Electric is quieter, but they still see it flying through the air and scamper over. I was/am always terrified when running nitro with kids around. Have something go wrong and get a runaway screaming nitro that plows into a kid. Would not be a good day. They just get closer and closer and you have to keep driving somewhere away from them.

Go with the 4S version if you're on a budget, it's still a beast of a car and very capable. You won't regret it. 😉

Any issues you have had running the speed gear and the badlands? Mainly wanting to know about motor temps...

Hey man, love the content you put out! I do have a question and I know this video is old so not sure of you will see this, but I just got a Typhon 3s a few weeks ago. I put a 20t pinion on out of the box and it was doing great but now I just put some badlands on it and now I'm having temp. issues. Did you have any temperature cutouts?

[@nswiss19751]

The kids are awesome in this I think the 3s is better than the 6s that power is ridiculous

[@memyself8355]

I put larger tires on my 3s and changed out the factory plastic gears for metal. She runs far better now. And the larger tires make a world of difference for this car. Those little ones they put on it were just to small for real fun

[@Neelis23]

Which tyres are you running?

[@goon1500ify]

Did you have any overheating issues running your typhon 3s with the 20tooth pinion on 2 or 3s lipo ? Im asking because I just got my 20 tooth pinion in today and I'm reluctant to use it if its going to overheat my electronics. I do not run my cars on grass mostly loose dirt and pavement.

How long does the battery last

[@kahnmchugh9334]

Hey guys I need some help here. I'm 13 and really into the hobby, I've got a 4x4 short coarse and am looking to get a truggy or buggy. I've got the arma Talion 6s blx in mind and the arma Typhon(as seen in this video) which is better for racing at my local rc track. The track is a outside dirt compacted with big jumps and lots of little bumps about 5 -10 in a row. What's faster, more durable, easier to repair and good for a 13 to learn on and use when I'm better at driving and more experienced. Thanks

[@war_josh1550]

Definitely the typhon 3s. Its just as fast and durable as the talion 6s, and super simple to work on due to the modular design. Plus cost of maintenance is way cheaper and you dont have to buy big expensive batteries either. And the typhon 3s is about 200 dollars cheaper, so you have alot of breathing room to upgrade if you want. Hope this helps.
