[@LulzRoyce]

I have both. I hate to say it but I prefer the 3s. Its lower weight makes a world of a difference in handling and agility. The top speed honestly doesn’t matter IMO. But running a 6s pack or two 3s in it weighs it down a lot and makes it a little more heavier on one side.

[@BoyFindsTako]

I’ve owned both, I prefer the 3s typhon. It’s lighter, more nimble and it rips the 6s platform is metal chassis vs the plastic 3s, my point...the 6s is super heavy for its size and doesn’t handle well compared to the 3s platform. But if you want to do speed runs and hit the straight aways, get the 6s Typhon. But to rip around and have fun, 3s hands down.

[@devillovexxx]

Im here about to getting the arrma typhon 3s bcause of the budget..and i even have to sold my current vrx buggy 1/10 to buy that arrma..i wanted to big rock at 1st bcs of its durability and fluidity , but then stock here ain't that much in my place so i have to choose other because i wanted a arrma rc..then i saw this 3s seems really fascinating to me..but again 6s are better but its over my budge..

[@BoyFindsTako]

@@devillovexxx Why do you think 6s is better? Sometimes more isn’t better, there is a con with 6s and it’s weight. Any 3s platform can run circles around any 6s heavy set up...and it’s “faster” to respond when it comes to agility. 6s on a straight away is faster no doubt, but then trying to turn that 6s truck/buggy/truggie with an open throttle, you won’t be able to catch that 3s platform on the street in any turn. Everyone always values speed and power so much and overlooks weight. 3s rips and has an overall balance to the overall platform if set up correctly. Buy the Arrma that makes the most sense to your driving style. The buggy sits lower to the ground and is more limited to terrain but the Granite and Big Rock sit up higher and have more clearance so you can drive over more crazy conditions. Any Arrma is going to be sick, so...get your Arrma and charge that thing up and start bashing.

[@jdpasl]

Both of them looks good!

[@goon1500ify]

I bought them both and both are awesome buggys !

[@backyardbashing6136]

Great video and comparison. I would still buy the 3s because I prefer plastic when possible for the flex. I like the look of the tires, wing and body on the 3s more too.

I just bought two more 1/8th Arrma buggies tonight. I have two of the 3s and the 6s now. I'll be running one of the 3s and the other two will sit still for show until I decide to power them up. The 6s is sweet!

They are both awesome, but I own 2 of the 3s Typhons. I would rather have 3s if you buy 2 3s batteries you can have twice the fun then with 1 6s battery. Buy 6s shocks for the 3s Typhon and put a Stock Granite bumper on the front and you will have a good rig. The t-bone bumpers for the Typhon 3s are a total failure I have broke at least 6 hinge pin blocks. The most recent ones tbone send were thicker but then the screws just ripped out so i'm putting my stock granite front bumper back on it.

[@LulzRoyce]

The shocks on the ARRMA Typhon are heavily exposed. If you upgrade the shocks but keep the plastic tower all that's going to happen when you crash or land hard is all that impact stress will transfer to your plastic shock tower and you'll just snap that off. Done it myself plenty with that combo. Either do it all metal or keep it plastic and replace cheaply often.

[@rcbustanut2057]

I originally back ordered the Typhon 3S & when I saw the details on the 6S, I canceled my 3S order & purchased the 6S. Should be getting that on Monday, can't wait. 1st thing to get upgraded & already on order is the receiver, the controller for this car is garbage. I have a Radiolink RC4GS controller that I use on my Rustler, so I ordered the R7FG receiver, which has telemetry function as well, to drop into the Typhon. One controller to rule them all lol. Wish RPM had more parts available for the Typhon 6S. Hopefully they'll get more in the near future, at least the A-Arms.

I have a 3s Ty and it has been so strong. I am not easy on my RCs and I think the only stronger truck I have is a Maxx. Such a beast and worth at lease $100 more IMO. I’m about to pick up a 6s as well because I have been so pleased with the 3s.

[@paulmeier6585]

Did you get the 6S? Which one do you like better?

[@ldm125]

@@paulmeier6585 I did also get the 6s but if I'm honest I have only driven it on the road. I swapped to higher gears and Felony rear tires (all 4) and made a high speed pavement car out of it. As vehicles, they're completely incomparable except the appearances. I think the 3s is overall the better basher due to the flexibility of the plastic, low cost (and frequency) of repairs, and cheaper batteries. The only reason I would do the 6s as a basher is if you really have a desire for all that extra power. In my opinion, the 3s is... Rather spicy especially with the 20t pinion and I didn't need to go faster than 70mph off-road, so I made the 6s Ty a street car. Hope this helps!

[@subietech2019]

Awesome comparison. I've driven both. But I kinda favor the 3S. The 6s is very heavy for a buggy

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

thanks, I'm on my fourth 6s typhon and I do love the 6s power. The 6s isn't one to go racing with for sure!

[@roadstar499]

very good review showing these cars...i would like to know more about the motor and esc difference... also what is top speed on 6s??? and what would top speed be on the 6s with a 3s battery??? of coarse i am talking aboutusing stock pinion... thanks...

[@danielnavarro8569]

They are both awesome in my opinion,I like the light weight of the 3s version and the fact that it only needs one battery but I also like the beefyness and power of the 6s ... man,life is hard!

[@festushaggen2563]

I just bought the 3s. I think it’s the better deal for the money. I bought a 20t pinion and a set of big bore aluminum shocks with it and it’s still much less than the price of the 6s but will do over 50 mph putting it very close to the 6s. I like the wheels and tires better on the 3s as well. Any other upgrades can come slowly over time so it’s not as much all at once.

[@zakka2047]

own a few of each of these (v3's though) and you cant go wrong with either, unless speed running i would go with the 6s if i could only pick one, i feel the weight differences are overblown (its around 800 grams stock) and not that noticeable in the field but the build quality between the two is. actually managed to bend the 6s front shock yesterday can imagine what that would of done to the front end of my 3s.

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

zakka I wasn't paying attention one day with my v3 typhon about 2 years ago, hit a curb head on (Don't ask) at 73mph (Gps on it) and it bent stuff but not a lot broke. Mind you Jen did ask me to calm it down a bit when using blow torch and sledgehammer in the basement to straighten out the chassis. 2am though how the hell was I to know the noise would carry up 2 floors!

No they are very very different cars, the 6s is all metal transmission and chassis, I don't think anything would fit. I've owned all versions V1-4 and would say it's worth saving for a 6s one

I just ordered a 3s version. The 6s is very cool in person but I felt the 3s would be fine for me. The 6s is very stout and heavy. May have to get one of those once I out grow the 3s.

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

The 3s typhon can shift along! Check out Mr Mad2424's videos of it (say hi from me) as he pushed his 3s one to over 70mph in one of my speed challenges. The 6s typhon is a car I love, I'm on my 3rd one (had a V1 and V2) which is the V4. It's a great basher, speed run car and a blast on sand paddles at the beach. Sure you'll love the 3s one, which is a good starter the 6s can be fast but get you into trouble just as fast and it costs more when it goes wrong! Hope that helps

I had an rc8.2e for years, and thought i would never buy a "plastic 3s buggy". I did. I only ran my rc8.2e on 4s with a 22t pinion. I was shocked to find the 3s typhon to go the same speed and was quieter than the rc8.2e on 3s and box stock (except the garbage radio that came with it). Sold the rc8.2e and never looked back. Im a basher, so im not easy on my stuff. Only upgrade really needed was a better radio and rpm arms. I then bought a Kraton 4s - that thing is a beast!

[@subietech2019]

I have a Kraton 6s and that is an animal. Does ok on small tracks until the lighter and more nimble buggys show up. You think I should buy the Typhon 3s to be able to catch up a bit more? Don't want to drop over $1,000 on a kit race buggy if the Typhon 3s would do ok. It's not like I'm going to a professional track

[@LookatTheseMuffins]

See this is the exact kind of feedback I'm looking for. I'm currently running a Nomad DB8 which is basically the Associated RC8T chassis, but I snapped the chassis in half. Maybe too many bad jumps? So I'm really tempted to get a Typhon 3S, as I already have a Senton 3S and it has taken a lot more abuse than the Nomad. How do you find your Typhon compares for handling? How about durability?

[@devliegendebollander3528]

@@LookatTheseMuffins take a big rock, the abuse it can handle is just insane. I've got one since a few weeks as my first rc and I was looking at the typhon 3s also. I do intent to get a used typhon 3s when my son is old enough to rip the big rock properly 😉

How are the diffs holding up? And how much $ did you put into it? I’ve owned all versions of the 6s one. I’d love to see yours at play vs 6s one driven at the limit

[@dylanwhite6539]

The 6s temps me, but I honestly don’t know that the typhon 6s is worth an extra $180 really.

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

It is worth it trust me! For the extra you’re getting a lot lot more car

[@dylanwhite6539]

@@DriftomaniacsRC yeah that’s kinda what I’m getting a sense of. I already have a big rock v3 I enjoy but it does wheelie a bit and it seems like the typhon 3s has a bit of a tendency to try to wheelie where the 6s doesn’t. I’m thinking I may sell off my redcat landslide and try to get a radix 4 or typhon 6s.

[@OSUHARDING1ATECHNICEXPERIENCE]

6S has upper A arms 3s does not

[@mrtambourineman6107]

3s actually looks better and drives better too tbh

[@JenniferHenberger]

6s for us... pure sobbery!! We can't look at a plastic shock tower and feel like ripping... some aspects of performance and durability may be better with 25% weight reduction and great 3s plastics... Our 3s vorteks rips and looks good too with a repainted body that covers the cheesy looking tower and shocks... but not the same for the typhon 3s... exposed grey plastic shocks and tower say toy- grade!!!!! But again, it's mostly just the emotional feel... also that screaming metal drivetrain on 6s is heartpoundingly thrilling for speed runs... my guy friend had a 6s in 2014 at 84mph... blew a tire one 60mph pass, pulled way off the road, cartwheeled over 4 yards, and hit a Honda CRV... $1,700 body damage to the Honda... nothing but a couple scratches on the typhon... and he recalls he paid $379 new!! Still at 5 or 6 hundred bucks, it's well worth it.... even up to $800 heavily modified for sick performance, this buggy is way worth it!!! Virtually no upper limit!! But if you don't mind the cheaper look, the squeaky drivetrain, at least the 3s price nicely reflects the less expensive parts without sacrifice to mid and low end handling, if not an improvement!!! Unlike Track's ass the price makes sense for plastic!! We stubbornly won't even buy the great performing Ass of Traxx Xmaxx because it looks and sounds like a plastic toy until it's flying... and even 20 feet in the air it's a total ripoff in terms of the actual value you get at $1K...

[@longboardguy]

I’ve thought of selling my 3S Typhon for the 6S. I’m unsure lol.

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

If you've invested in the 3s stick with it.

[@subietech2019]

Stick with the 3S. It's a beast, can't wait to get one. However, for hardcore bashing, get a Kraton 6S to keep next to your Typhon 3S. I love my Kraton

[@jrc-fabs1634]

6s Typhon is way more worth it in my eyes... And that's why I want it!

[@davidpresutti3014]

In my opinion there TSM. Sucks. I have a Xmaxx and a 4x4 rustler and the TSM has to be off for the trucks to perform. With TSM on it's a crap shot trying to do backflip or even spin them around. I think arrma has built a better RC than Traxxas but Traxxas has the market for now

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

I think the spektrum AVC is a lot better than tsm and I may go so far as to fit an AVC receiver to one of my arrmas, as the AVC on my big 1/5 losi's is very impressive. For flips on the erevo 2.0 anr rustler 4x4 vxl I turned the TSM down to zero. Let me know if you'd like to see me put AVC on one of my 6S arrmas. If enough people say yes I'll try it.

[@brandonstaggs646]

I ordered a arrma typhon 6s on horizonhobbies.com but instead they sent me a 3s typhon🤬

[@butchmeister80]

6s has exposed gears surely worse and easier to get dirt in and chew them up.

[@IceeyReaper]

I would probably buy the arrma Typhon 3S because let’s be honest here almost every single one of arrma metal chassis are made out of absolute monkey metal they bend way too easily I would rather have plastic it bends and then Bends back metal stays bent

[@oldschoolbluesplayer5319]

You said "guys" 17 times in this video !

[@LulzRoyce]

I got a 3S simply because this design is begging for breakage. Exposed shocks, exposed wheels with no bumper. It's almost not worth getting a 6S because you WILL break it, A LOT. And is much harder to work on.

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

6S typhon is bullet proof compared to 3s one, I should know as I've owned every version V1-V4. 6S version has all metal drivetrain and doesn't eat diffs like the 3S one. Although you raise a good point that the 3s is easier to work on. Only one of my 6s typhons to ever break was one that hit a curb head on a 73mph...other than that no breakages. Sold my granite 3s blx as it was forever eating diffs and driveshafts. I'd recommend a used typhon 6s to see what you think

[@weekendwireless]

Please stop Saying ‘guys’

[@roosterrc6519]

Yes i agree buy 6s over 3s on any of the arrma rc car trucks ,3s will add up in cost to upgrade my senton 3s cost me as much as 6s arrmas by the time i was done, and 3s stuff to me feels like a toy

[@norcalrc]

I like the weight of the 3s version. 4.8 lbs verses over 10 lbs for the 6s one.

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

ah but that 6s power was calling my name!

[@zakka2047]

that dosnt seem right, the weight difference between the 2 is under 2 lbs stock.

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

5lbs 11oz for the 3s typhon according to arrma's website, and 7lbs 9oz for the 6s one. As @zakka says the difference is under 2lbs.

[@el34glo59]

That's incorrect

[@stevenbarlow7088]

I have the 3s ,wish I'd bought the 6s. 3s is like a cheese cracker. Awesome car but composite parts can't handle what the car can do! Buy the 6s, save the waiting for parts.

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

Steven I would always say go for the 6s ones particularly if you fancy making a 3s one go faster, by the time you've strengthened it to handle any extra power it'll add to what it would have cost to get the 6s one. I've had all four versions of the Typhon and loved everyone. I may get another coming out of quarantine although I think Traxxas are ready to drop a big release but are holding back until the situation eases

[@robertmillier1]

3s looks like trash.... I have the 6s and the quality in that isnt even that great, ball joints are getting loose and I have less than 20 charges on it. Yes I do maintain it meticulously
