Team Corally Syncro4 Makes The 3s Typhon RC Obsolete! (Teardown & Bash)

[@yiannisyiannis]

Man your videos are so premium... You definitely deserve more.. well done!

[@DoRC]

Thanks Glad you enjoy!

[@dub2536]

No bs. This guy covers exactly what I'm thinking almost in real time. I recently this morning saw his video on the Arrma "I Made The World's Most Powerful Upgraded Typhon Grom & It's INSANE!" video, and it impressed me signiffigantly. Reason why is because I desire a quality RC of such a small stature 1/18 that can have enough power, speed and endurance such as that one. Very impressive content alltogether from this man. o7

[@DoRC]

@dub2536 thanks I'm glad you enjoy!

[@PaddyPatrone]

Im not even interested in this buggy, but the way you present it and show all the details is really good. Great RC content!

[@DoRC]

Awesome glad you enjoyed!

[@insanebmxthomas]

probably one of my favorite channels due to the lengthy teardowns! As a handy guy i always want to see things come apart. Sometimes a product's limits are very obvious, sometimes it takes a teardown or some testing. I really like the Kagama, and this looks like another well designed product! The low pressure during shipping (airfreight?) + diffs leaking also crossed my mind! Could be a valid explanation!

[@DoRC]

Yeah it's either that or maybe they're just spilling some when they put them together. I'm not really sure. I do know that I've never had one leak when I was using it and you would think if they were going to leak just sitting around they'd certainly leak under high centrifugal force.

[@insanebmxthomas]

@@DoRC prolonged higher temps like on a container ship might do it too? And since this is all mass production... On my bike, if i assemble something, it always settles in during the first ride. Comes loose once, after assembly. Tighten it again, stays tight forever. Now imagine these center diffs being assembled, slapped into a car, which is then quickly tested on the assembly line. But then again, why don't the F/R diffs leak? We don't check, i guess? 😆

[@NUeB_RCFPV]

I wish the industry would offer more models also as a version *without* radio or even as roller.

[@DoRC]

TC offers almost all of their vehicles as rollers. This is one of the few exceptions.

[@NUeB_RCFPV]

​@@DoRC Oh, good to know, thanks. Sadly their cars are ll too big for what I'm actually searching.

[@Boogie_the_cat]

100% agree. I generally only want to buy more rollers in the future, as I don't need more RTR transmitters and 18kg servos clogging up my trash can. A man needs options, and ice cream.

[@AmpRC]

I appreciate you giving Team Corally open minded reviews. Most don't give them a chance and give them unfair reviews. Im not a "Corally Fan Boy" but i do like their products.

[@DoRC]

Yeah I try to be fair with everything I review. I fanboy over the TC cars cuz I think they deserve it. They're really good these days.

@@DoRC I definitely agree! Just like every RC they have their limitations but they are a quality built RC! Keep up the good work!

[@jason_baker175]

Awesome looking rig! I was expecting more than 34mph but looks great nonetheless. Thanks for the review!

[@DoRC]

Well keep in mind that's off-road on some pretty rough terrain. It'll do more than that on smooth concrete I just like to show what things will do in the kind of environments I will actually be using them. Stay tuned though we'll make it faster :-)

[@jason_baker175]

Can’t wait! Love your videos man 👍

[@Nerm78]

Great video and i totally agree with it being a game changer for the price and a lot of other areas. I would definitely have to gear it up a little though. Cant wait to see how it does with that esc you mentioned!

[@DoRC]

No need to wait. Check my latest video!

[@RC-Kwagga]

Expected a bit more speed wise for a 4s buggy. Would love it if Arrma could redo the Typhon 3s in their 4s lineup

[@DoRC]

Well it would be faster on road. Going over rough terrain always slows them down. It does seem to have a decent amount of power but stay tuned we'll make it faster :-)

[@EJ-74]

TC has been stepping up their game latey with the Kagama etc, This buggy is another great example.... Cool review 👍🏻✌🏻

[@DoRC]

For sure. They make some of the best bashers you can get these days

[@sputnikwood]

From the specs the Kuron 725 is a 2150kv motor; using 4s of 16.8v x 2150kv is aprox 36,000 rpm. No wonder the speed is slow for a 4s vehicle. I think it needs a 3000kv motor so it gets about 50k rpm max. I forgot, or increase the pinion size.

[@DoRC]

Yes I think it's under geared out of the box. Don't worry we'll be fixing that very soon!

[@iainlee4680]

This is a very good buggy I really enjoy mine, however, the esc fan gets obstructed easily so you have to keep an eye on that. Also the non serrated wheel nuts are a real pain as they fall off all the time without some loctite. I just replaced them with serrated though so it’s fine. It’s quite fast straight out the box as well to be fair. Only thing I have broken so far is rubber body clip retainer on the front and it’s had some real abuse haha. Also worth noting is that this is only splash proof so it’s best to keep it away from any water really. I rate it highly and it’s real easy to drive fast.

[@DoRC]

Yeah the only thing that really causes it to not be waterproof is the receiver and I always swapped out for my own receivers which I have waterproofed so it doesn't really bother me

[@iainlee4680]

@@DoRC cool thats good to know, thanks!.

[@jamesbell6321]

I will wait and see what a 3S Typhon V4 looks like before I decide on this but the color scheme is great.

[@DoRC]

Seems reasonable though it'll probably be an incremental change and likely still won't have what this does.

[@FrankvdBerg]

Remember, the first Efra race of this year there was a Team Corally at the start and no one expected that. Allthough the result wasnt that good it was oke for a first test. Resulting in a pretty quick new car to replace the Spark. I think this car is not a basher but a entry level racer. As you look at all the tuning options its definately a much better racer as the Arrma Typhon. I bet we see a new kit in the near future to replace the sbx410 as well

[@DoRC]

Yeah you probably could use it as an entry level racer but to be honest with you I wouldn't recommend it. You'd be a lot better off just buying someone's roller from last year and putting cheap electronics in it. You'll be at a similar price and have a much better machine for racing

[@AllInRc1971]

Very good video there, sir. You have me wanting a Team Corally or two. Soon, I guess. Wondering if Redcat will get into that segment. They are trying everything else right now.

[@DoRC]

Maybe. We'll see what they come up with next.

[@KevinCastro-eb8zl]

plastic is better than aluminum sometimes. Takes off plastic " aaaaa good to see aluminum in there" 😂

[@DoRC]

It just depends on where. Any place that you have a lot of stress that's going to go through a metal part that is contained by a piece with a hole in it you probably want that part to be metal. In my opinion this truck has metal in all the places that it really needs it and plastic in the places that it kind of doesn't.

[@TheflyingkiwiRC]

I really enjoy your review style. Be interested to see how this goes with a bigger pinion gear. Seemed a bit slow.

[@DoRC]

I'll give that a try before I put a bigger power system in it.

[@WowoodogPlays]

You deserve 100k subs

[@DoRC]

Maybe someday :-)

[@TheSerbianG]

At the moment I could get Syncro4 as the same price as Typhon 6S. Which would be a better purchase?

[@DoRC]

If they're both new I'd probably go for the Typhon

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Talks about diff fluid, "I'm changing the dynamic a bit by doing this". Proceeds to add 20 million wt diff fluid. A bit, my ass, lol! I'm a racer at heart so adjustable suspension is ALWAYS a good thing, access to the diffs, not so much. The Syncro is easily better (much better) than the Typhon but based on where you live, support might be an issue (as you noted). REALLY interested is seeing how this sells and if it can put any dent in Typhon sales. Btw, love the new bash site, really tests the suspension and handling but would like to see a smoother surface for speed runs 👍

[@DoRC]

Youd be surprised. The amount I added only maybe doubled the stiffness from stock.

[@jekae61]

It seems nice, with a really appealing price tag, however is just seem too low, is there a way to make it higher ? P.s what do you think is the best 10-12 scale basher. I have the kagama and it’s pretty much perfect except for the size, I wish it would also come in like a 12 scale that would be amazing 🤩

[@DoRC]

At first I thought you were asking if there was a way to make the price higher. That was very confusing. Really the only way to increase ground clearance is to put bigger tires on it which you definitely can do though you may run into rubbing issues on the body at full lock as taller tires also tend to be wider.

[@klebersilva751]

great video, only miss a side to side to typhon 3s

[@DoRC]

Yeah if I had one I definitely would have done it.

[@rogueFactor]

i have a strange feeling we're being pascified by the GROM series while they ready a Typhon 4S. it won't be left out of their new center diff lineup.

[@DoRC]

Maybe though that might be a bit too close to the 6S typhon

[@joeytravis1953]

How do i get the discounts and where do i purchase the rc and how do i get replacement parts

[@DoRC]

Google is your friend :-) Hobby recreation products has it in stock You can get parts from HRP RC hobby explosion or directly from team corally

[@3SonsRC]

Does the wing seem to made out of the same materials??

[@DoRC]

Not sure about the material though the way it's integrated into the tower makes me suspect it is stronger overall. Mine took a couple of good wax and didn't break but you know how that goes.

[@dimitristheodorou7666]

You didn't show the flexibility of the wing?Is it flexible like the Kagama 4 or is it stiff like the one on the Spark?

[@dub2536]

Only Team Corally RC car I own is the "Moraco", and I very much enjoy the car. Regretably I had a difficult time getting replacement parts, but did. The car is exceptionally fast and such a pleasure to drive. My local hobby shops do not care distribute cars aside from mostly Traxxas and Arrma. When u mentioned the making ones own replacement parts, I myself have thought this too. I looiked into 3D printers but was informed of how one needs Downloads on the shape of parts to replace which got me to chose not to buy a 3D printer. TY 4 your content. Happy Easter! o7

[@DoRC]

There are some things you can download online but sometimes you do need to design your own parts. Overall 3D printing is a lot of fun though so if you want to get into it I would recommend it.

[@dub2536]

@@DoRC I genuinley do. What discouraged me was speaking to the 2 gentlemen at the "micro Center" about 3D printers is after I asked. "May I simply place a part I wish to clone/recreat 3D style so that it can therby learn how the shape is etc to then recreate and print?" They were like..."not that way. It is usually inacurate and unless you have a CAD file with all details u wont likely create the exact shape" paraphrasing. So I shook my head and left empty handed. I never have done it, but if I could copy 3D shapes. I could get busy making parts for myself and others. Poissibly better quality plastics that r stronger etc. But they gave me the impression that is a "pie in the sky" plan. but idk. I do know that 3D printing fascinates me and I wish I could get started but i dont know how. I have $ to invezst but lack knowledge on what to invest in/buy and how to get started. TY for the reply. Best wishes.

[@DoRC]

@@dub2536 what they said is technically true. Unless you have really high-end equipment 3D scanning isn't really going to get you a perfectly repeatable part. It's more of a starting point for you to then design the part around. This is because there's always going to be small detail inaccuracies that of course the 3D printer will replicate perfectly so what you end up with won't exactly be the part you started out with.

[@DoRC]

Not sure. I ordered it a couple minutes after it came out on HRP and they shipped at the same day. Got here a lot more quickly than I thought it would.

[@dylanwhite6539]

It’s amazing how many people don’t believe you can mix fluids, or drastically misunderstand how averages work. I once saw someone come to the conclusion that half 60 + half 30 would make 90 somehow. You can literally just put to fluids in a container and leave it for a day and it becomes a homogeneous mixture.

[@DoRC]

Yeah it's one of those things that if you know you know but might not be intuitive. It feels intuitive to me but I've also been a mechanic for 20 years so I've dealt with all sorts of various fluids pretty much my whole life.

[@DoRC]

Lipo batteries are not really very dangerous as long as they're treated correctly. You already have lithium batteries all over your house. The thing you're reading this on probably has a lithium battery in it. The reason there are fires in this hobby is because people either don't get educated on lipo safety or refuse to follow that education when it actually comes time to dispose of a battery that's failing because they want to save a few bucks.

[@SpellboundStats]

The problem remains the same for alot of the brands that make great products. That problem is market domination. If I break my ARRMA, I go today Hobbytown and they have the parts, If I break a 15 year old Traxxas I go to Hobbytown and buy the parts. If I break my RLAARLO, which is an awesome car..I wait two weeks for parts. If I break a Corrally...I may or may not ever be able to find the parts. In many cases the big brands are inferior cars in many ways, where they are superior is support. My running cars are ALWAYS better than my cars I cannot run as I wait for parts. All the better things on this car compared to the ARRMA can be purchased as upgrades on the AARMA, once again because support from not only ARRMA but the 3,000 aftermarket companies that also make parts. I know 3d printing changes that a bit, but that is another hobby all on its own, and I for one do not have the space or the expendable income to invest in that AND RC, I could buy more cars and gear instead. I don't know anyone into the hobby that has a completely stock RTR a year after ownership, so what matters is the platform which is a canvas for the things you will change later anyway. You can make the ARRMA typhon bulletproof by upgrading the things you mentioned...you know what you are getting but you also know how easy it is to change those shortfalls with aftermarket parts. I have a great example. My carbon edition RLAARLO 14th scale buggy absolutely smashed the Typhon Grom out of the box in so many ways....that being said, I can make my Typhon Grom smash my RLAARLO in every way with some mods and aftermarket support..My RLAARLO will always be pretty much what it is out of the box.

Probably better than Arrma, but pretty much brick and mortar hobby shops ONLY carry Traxxas and Arrma, at least here in Southern Cali. You can get parts everywhere and anywhere.

I think if I only had one or two cars I probably would get things locally but since I have several If one breaks it doesn't really matter if it's down for a few days and I usually don't have time to fix it right away anyway so I just buy the parts online and then fix it when I can

[@barbedwirerat661]

This is how you do an economy entry level 1/8 scale basher buggy. Arrma Typhon 3S is just a 1/10 Short Course that is shaped like a 1/8 buggy...not legit...though it is a god buy at the aggressive sale price that comes around once a year or so. Only thing is I'm starting to notice about Team Corally is they change up their designs every cycle, which is great for improving the product, but it seems like it obsoletes their prior models too quickly. Great if you enjoy buying the latest and greatest, not so much if you only want to maintaina small RC roster that you can run for many years.

[@DoRC]

Not really sure I understand this. All of their 6s/4s vehicles are based on the same platform and share most of the same parts. They do updates pretty frequently which I think is a great thing but it's not really obsoleting older models and you can still get parts for the older models

[@barbedwirerat661]

@@DoRC Some of the confusion is they keep rebranding each iteration of the buggy (as with their other RCs)...Python, Radix, Spark, Synchro. It is hard to track what is what. Where Python and Radix seem very similar (I guess Radix is the improved version?), looks like the Spark got some significant changes. A couple years from now how hard is it going to be to locate parts for a Radix compared to say any version of a Typhon 6S? Heck, I know it was hit or miss for a few years but now that HPI is back in business I can still keep my OG Vorza buggy running with new production parts (not just new-old-stock), and even the old Savage Flux HP (I just installed the new Savage X stub axles on it last weekend with properly implemented 17mm hex hubs!)
