Associated Reflex 14b Unboxed, Upgraded & Speed Tested. Bye Typhon Grom

After two failed attempts to make the Arrma Typhon Grom brushless I got discouraged and did a re-boxing and put it up for sale.
After putting it back to stock, I decided to take it up for one last rip: • Arrma Typhon Grom #rcc...
I realized it was good just as it came and decided to pull the listing and keep it. Got back and it sold!
Oh well. But I came to like that little thing and started looking for alternatives. Associated Reflex 14b inbound....
Stay tuned as I will be doing further upgrades and bigbristvifying it more so

Stay well,

The other benefit to the 14b is that it’s out drives and wheel drives are metal out of the box where the Groms are plastic. So that’s an upgrade. Pricing it same/same the grom would be about 100$ difference between the two. But I will say I think the grom will be a little more durable plus at least in my area, parts out number anything associated. Most of the 14b parts I’ve busted I’ve had to wait by the mailbox.

[@bigbristv]

With you on all counts. 😉

Yo Big…Dirty Jersey again. Everyone was having a problem finding a 3S battery that fit in the Rlaarlo 1/14 carbon fiber buggy. Well, I found one that fits, it’s made by “Zeee”, and just like this one here in your video it is also 2200 mah, and fits. Its snug, but it fits perfect with a little fine tuning. And they are so reasonably priced. Check your dimensions and compare them, im almost certain it will fit

[@bigbristv]

Thanks for the info and for putting it here. Almost all of my batts are Zeee. Been holding up good so far.

[@Xjeepguy]

Man, I didn't know I wanted one of those. I might have to pick one up. Looks like a lot of buggy for the money. Great vid as always!

[@bigbristv]

Thanks bro. You'll love it, fun and easy on the back 😉

[@josesandra1946]

Whats good bigbris that little associated buggy is nice, You said your going to put that little one on 3S it going to fly, well I'm working on my Tamiya TT02 hopping it up😎 so you have a blessed day my brother nice video.

[@bigbristv]

TT02, huh? I have a Fazer Mk2 coming in soon. Can't wait! Enjoy!

[@RyanTucker-jw8dn]

Subscribed. You are a talented KZbinr. I have the Reflex 14T that is a dedicated carpet racer. I have about a dozen runs with it, and it has been flawless. Great tip on the battery try adjustment. I use a long WLToys 1500mah battery. Thanks.

[@bigbristv]

Thanks Ryan! At this point I removed the battery holders altogether. She's sporting a 2200mah 3s-kateers 🤣

[@mmqz2640]

You got all the toys!!! Nice.

[@bigbristv]

Not yet! 😁

[@rodz017]

very nice .....Exotek upgrades , tires , fan , extra spurs n your golden

[@bigbristv]

Extras on deck my guy 😉😅👍

[@FEboats]

Told ya man before you got the grom. This cars awesome.

[@bigbristv]

You called it!

[@scaleworksRC]

Yeah, the Mini Losis are good to get your feet wet and learn what not to do. I went through the same stuff and ended up giving mine away to a co-worker. He loves it though and it has an 8000kv motor now 😁 This one seems like a much better value for the money and it's 4WD!

[@bigbristv]

Exactly! They each have some excellent qualities but in the end it's how you're gonna use it, right?

[@scaleworksRC]

@@bigbristv yup💯

[@carlosguterrez995]

Good in-depth video, the only problem I have with it, is I wish the diffs were sealed and had a metal spur and wish motor mount was able to fit bigger pinions. I tried a universal mount from Amazon it worked just didn’t like that I had to modify it that much. But other than that I really was impressed with the 1/14 TA platform.

[@bigbristv]

Do you have the newer version? The diffs are sealed, or at least they appear to be. I have metal gears coming in along with some other stuff for an upcoming videos so stay tuned bro. And thanks! 👍

[@carlosguterrez995]

I forgot to mention the tires from the 1/16 redcat volcano fit perfectly on the them. All you do is adjust the steering endpoints so tires don’t rub and that’s it.

[@NUeB_RCFPV]

@@bigbristv Yeah, on the TA website they say that the diffs are sealed. Metal gears upgrade 'd be really great to make this car a replacement for my crappy WLToys… Lookin fwd for your updates & subscribed!

[@bigbristv]

Thanks! Just picked up a set of 70mm rally wheels/tires but they don't look quite right 😅

[@bigbristv]

Thanks! Just waiting for a couple more parts, then video out straight away! 😄

[@masonhanft7158]

Instead of using body clips u could've used a small amount of velcro on the sides of the body to hold it that way

[@bigbristv]

True, but velcro gets dirty and is hard to clean. At least the stuff I have. Plus, I like the tethers, don't you? 😊

[@GearWorksRc]

That’s why after I got my B4.1 I switched they’re radios too Flysky and even with the B4.1 I had better luck faster acceleration then what the standard 2.4 radio comes with out of the box $30 dollar upgrade is not bad compaired to a hole new car and you can put up to 20 too 30 cars on the Flysky than you can with the stock radio more options with LEDs and more channel functions on the Flysky I love them.

[@bigbristv]

I have issues with the range on my flysky gt3b

[@GearWorksRc]

@@bigbristv that sucks have I you tried dumbo radios?

[@bigbristv]

Been meaning to. I hear they present excellent value. I'll have to revisit my flysky range theory, I have recently found some interference issues in certain areas even with other radios. I'll test this theory if I end up getting this nitro car I've been eyeing. 🤔🤫

[@GearWorksRc]

@@bigbristv I have the newer Flysky fs g7p I’ll have to do a video on it soon I’ll let you know when it’s up there range have gotten a lot better I have them in all my cars I can put up to 20 cars won’t be able to get that many yet lol but I’ll get there.

[@user-fn7zd8pl7w]

Yo Big B….its Dirty Jersey. Wanted to ask you if you own the Typhon TLR 1/8 buggy. Was looking for some honest feedback on it. Thanks Big…

[@bigbristv]

Nah, bro. I ordered it 3 times and cancelled the order all 3 times. Don't ask me why. I may eventually get an 8th scale buggy tho, need to find a track or something. Any tracks out in Jerz?

[@james215RC]

I'm not very biased myself, I gotta say this buggy is a little better then the tyhon grom and the Losi mini b.. because its a little longer and wider. It can be more versatile off-road.. Every T.a I've ever owned was great. ‼️

[@bigbristv]

Bro! You don't know the half. I just came up from doing, some "testing". Bro. 😮 Can't wait to get this next video done 😊

[@keegansillaots4327]

It's far better. The only buggy I like better than the reflex is the mini 8ight.

[@bigbristv]

@keegansillaots4327 was looking at the mini8, long gone apparently.

[@joshuamcdonald4909]

​@bigbristv The LC Racing EMB-1 is an option as well, which is essentially a clone of the Mini 8ight.

[@bigbristv]

@joshuamcdonald4909 yeah, I looked at those. Liked that they seem to come already upgraded.

[@mzondi1970]

I was wondering when someone was going to do this it's a much better car than the gtom I have two of them

[@RD_LV]

Man traxxas udr is so realistic

[@bigbristv]

I know, almost bought one when I saw it in person.

[@Adrenaline.addict]

lc racing emb 1 would probably get better laptimes on a track

[@bigbristv]

Was looking into that but I'll probably never see a track. Then again 🤔
