EASILY the most fun I've had with an RC Buggy!

[@bcookieonthetrack6699]

GPM makes a nice reinforcement plate for that front shock tower

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks!

[@cristovalmontoya5222]

I ordered the gpm brace and did your take a minute for you to receive it I havnt received mine yet since it’s coming from over seas but it’s on its way lol

[@Nerm78]

Great video! I think the 3s Groms are some of the best small scale bashers! I love the simplicity of the design and definitely the 3s speeds. My cankles hurt after watching you on the skateboard, it won't be long until Max is giving you guys heart attacks doing crazy poop like you used to do! On a side note I watched this in my underrooos eating a fried spam sandwich! Perfect end to a day of freezing my nads off!

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks! Haha! The ankles definitely took some beatings back then lol. That is one heck of a day ending right there 😂

[@kashmurray1199]

That was pretty awesome. Table to table was crazy fun.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks! So fun!

[@jeremybittinger2901]

As soon as i saw the dark slide i was like look at this kamakazie rc stuff hes doin, then you said it lmao! This thing scoots man! Hey nice to see ya back on a board too! (38 year old 'old dude' here, just got back into BMX!) You might surprise what you can still do! Good job as always brother!

[@DerbyCityRC]

Haha! Yup! No way I couldn’t mention him lol. Thanks man and cool! I definitely plan on warming up the old joints and grabbing myself a new decent board. I could tell that cheap $30 one wasn’t popping up well, but definitely need to pull the old board tricks off my skills shelf and dust them off! I’m still super proud of what I did back then. Think about it often. Glad you’re back on the bike!!

[@jeremybittinger2901]

@DerbyCityRC as we age we gotta be tender to them there joints! I used to make fun of pads and helmets and now I'm the guy decked out in wristguards lol still gotta make money so I need this here vessel a little while longer! Keep shreddin though, you had the skills back then, you still do now! Just gotta dust em off ;)super cool to see though, man! I respect the skills!

[@DerbyCityRC]

Yup I definitely feel the fragility of the old rusty interbodily hinges 😂. I’ll keep it small but definitely want to do some more! Thanks!! This whole thing brought back such cool memories and showing them to Max was awesome!

[@SiuroRC]

Yes it comes from the spine, I managed to do a kick flip the second try on a dirt yard with sandals on after 10-20 yrs of break :)

[@EURIPODES]

This video made me happy for you. Between the Grom and the skateboard and the old footage I'm sure this was the most fun video yet.

[@SiuroRC]

Propably, at least a tie with the MK-07 dinosaur survival video that almost made me sh*t my pants😅

Jeeze man you ripped that thing good!! Nice tricks! That old skate footage was awesome dude ! This is guna be the sickest Raffal yet! I just got the Mojave grom brushed version and it’s epic ! I feel like the power and size go fine together, thanks for another great video and Raffal!

[@DerbyCityRC]

Woohoo double similar comment! 🎉🎉😊🔥🔥😃

[@captaincouldverc]

Man those towers being integrated into the chassis is a real bold manufacturing move. I don't see those being part of the chassis if they do a V2. We have got to have a better solution for a broken shock towers. Replacing the entire chassis is ridiculous!

[@DerbyCityRC]

Ya I agree! The rear might be ok as it’s got much more reinforcement. The front needs a better solution.

[@RickyD1968]

Yeah that was a bad choice on Armma really surprised they did that !!!

[@SpellboundStats]

I have 2 of these & love em! Weak point is the servo saver! First thing that broke but I replaced it with aluminum & no problems! Good video! 🏁

[@DerbyCityRC]

Sweet! Good to know thanks man!!

[@skree_fpv436]

Gnarly skate footage dude! I started skating back in the early 90's when I was in middle school. I'm 47 now but decided to quit around five years ago. I was riding behind my daughter who was on her bike. I did a kickflip and right after I landed it I hit a rock, board stopped dead and I went flying. I ended up cracking a rib. Let me tell ya, the injuries are a lot harder to deal with now versus when I was younger. I'll still get on the board once in a great while but no more doing any tricks for me. I don't want to risk any more injuries. LoL

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks bro!! Ya I started in early 2001 I think. Pretty sure I took a small hiatus in 2003, started again in 2004 and stopped again in 2006. Wish I had gone a little longer. Really wanted to Ollie a 12 stair and kickflip a 7, but maybe I’d even have more issues now if I had lol. I definitely had the skill for it but I was always scared. Yes things don’t heal like they used to, I know. I’d like to do some small tricks still. We’ll see how far I take it 😆. I’d feel a rolled ankle for a year im sure. 🫣🫣😆

[@jw2par]

Excellent video as always

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks!

[@froshmasta]

@Derby City RC Another great video. I wonder if the DSC stuff was messing with attitude control in the air because it seemed pretty whacky at times there. keep up the awesome!

Thanks! Some others have mentioned frost too so ya it probably was lol

[@Schmidteren]

looks like it drives awesome!

[@DerbyCityRC]

Oh ya!! Especially for its size!

[@Boogie_the_cat]

Yo! That footage from the community post was VHS image of you ? Mad props ! Mad props ! I finally got a soldering iron that's decent, so I'm about to solder my first connector (XT90). I'm doing it on the ESC side, my batteries are already XT90, so (thankfully) I don't need to solder anything dangerous. I put in a new servo saver spring yesterday and a new steering rack too (Kagama 6s). It'll be too late to drive RC when i get home from the animal shelter, so I'm enjoying this video as my vicarious RC for today. Have a good one, thanks for the content.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Yup! Whipped out my vhs tapes and a dusty old vcr lol. Funny how terrible the video quality is lol Good luck soldering! It can be frustrating so just be ready. Glad you like the vid!!!

[@Hippie2936]

This is my favorite car so far. I bash it around the yard every day. Just put some granite grom tires on it and now it can handle the rough terrain at speed much better. Now I love it even more!

[@DerbyCityRC]

I think I’ll try that! Thanks!

[@0xpadx0]

Did you have DSC enabled while doing jumps? If so, that would explain the air wobbles. Since the car is pretty lightweight, the gyro tries to set it straight in the air. The un probably does well for the brushed version, but for the brushless, they should have made different shock towers or detachable front and rear ends. Pretty sure arrma could make the same chassis with detachable towers.

[@Boogie_the_cat]

They'll do that next version. That's why I never buy a V1 of any RC. Also, you're 100% right about the DSC causing wobbles when jumping. Any gyro will do that.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Yup I left it on. Totes spaced on that. I’ll try again with it off soon but it still did good!

[@timmy4539]

Great, no holds bared video again ! Not too bad a little buggy !

[@VisageofTruth]

@@DerbyCityRC I need to find something durable and fun for my son, turns 3 soon and he has been having fun on the SG116 Max but he won't let me use it, the SG116 Mini I got him in his words 'not fast enough' I got a Gantry Pro also which as far as I can tell is basically the same as the SG116, but I can already feel the itch to get something bigger scale with more extras

[@DerbyCityRC]

@VisageofTruth yup those are pretty much the same car lol. man I’d look at the Redcat Valkyrie. I think I remember you saw that video. That is an excellent car for a good price.

[@VisageofTruth]

@@DerbyCityRC Yeah I remember watching that one the other week, my son really likes monster trucks so I'll have to share haha. Rains quite often here in NZ so its good to see the Valkyrie could handle a bit of splashing in the water. Lots of bmx and mountain bike dirt tracks around here and I should look at a crawler for our rocky volcanic terrain we have, that could be fun for the kids.

[@RCTruckinGuy]

Awesome video! Man watching you pull some skateboard tricks at and older age, (I’m old too!) reminded me of being a kid with my skater buddy’s, I never could skateboard well, but I could jump a bmx bike off the sketchiest ramps like no one!

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks!! Ya it made me go through about an hour of vhs tapes of my old footage lol. Pulled the vcr out of the closet I’ve been keeping just for this occasion. I knew I would do it one day. Lol. I jumped a few bikes but never was good at it 😂

[@MaleficRacing]

@@DerbyCityRC I strongly recommend taking skating back up if your kids are now doing it. Being a tad "older" now, you might not bounce back quite as quickly as you used to if you eat it, but skating with your own kids is so much fun. I took the step to longboards for comfort a while ago, but it's still great rolling around.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks! I think I’m going to. Already been looking up some kits on Amazon from my old favorite deck brand.

[@RedlinedRC]

Rocking the typhon grom man!

[@DerbyCityRC]

🔥🔥

[@tyrellcorp2118]

Great vid. Love the bench tricks. This Grom impresses in every video. Needs some width for that twistyness in the air. Granite tires next?

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks! Ya those bench tricks were fun! Didn’t expect it to be quite as cool as it was lol. I think the twistiness was because I didn’t turn off the dsc. So causes the wheels to turn up in the air and with them spinning will throw off its direction.

[@matred3538]

Impressive! I only really have cheaper stuff. Mjx, Wltoys mainly. But these Groms are really tempting me. 👍💥

[@DerbyCityRC]

I’ve got tooons of cheaper stuff lol. This is a nice unit!

[@boduke9428]

The Groms are awesome. Especially brushless. I'd just finished installing my Furitek Grom brushless combo in my Mojave a couple days before they announced the blx versions. Had i known they were coming I'd just bought another. Either way, I'm over the mini everything craze. It's out of my system. I'm ready for a 5th scale 8 to 12s Typhon exb please Arrma. We large scale fans exist and have been largely ignored for to long and nobody makes a huge electric 4x4 basher buggy.

Great video I've never broken a shock tower on one of these I have the granite and typhon.... my typhon was brushed but since been upgraded to 3s brushless

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks Mike! Ya I’d say it takes a decent smash to break it. Just a bummer if you do.

[@HolyCannolis]

Epic rip! The cool dad 🛹 footage is was tight too!! Was Grom’s stability mgmt on when doing ramp flips? Thanks 🙏

[@williamwallace9427]

At first, I was going to say integrating the shock tower into the chassis was genius. Now I’m wondering if it should’ve been more modular.

[@SpellboundStats]

@@williamwallace9427 everyone that has ever owned a buggy knows it is a bad idea, but arrma saved 20cents per unit on 2 screws

[@DerbyCityRC]

Genius in some ways, like saving them manufacturing costs and inventory lol.

Niiice, I'm loving my arrma/losi nascar we race every friday night with a brushless 1010 castle 4400KV modded class. Nothing breaks

now I know where you got the bench setup from knowing you used to skate. reminds me of a Rodney Mullen part in his old videos lol badass dude

[@DerbyCityRC]

Ya he had some of the coolest videos! Watched him all the time! Didn’t even think of it until the first accidental dark slide lol

[@michaeldorich4485]

It seems like a great little car. It took a lot of sbuse. But, I'm. willing to bet you will see a new chassis with separate shock towers.Tamiya tried that with the. original TT01 and they got a lot of complaints. People got tired of having to change everything out when they just broke a shock tower; This car does a lot things very well.

[@DerbyCityRC]

I’m sure there will soon be options! There’s already an extra aluminum support available apparently.

[@RazorRC]

Still got it! Awesome to see your son learning to skate, I was out with my 17yo over Christmas teaching him to push around. Good stuff! 👍🛹

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks! Kinda sorta lol. Need to practice some more. I was able to land the occasional 360 flip but they put me on my butt quite a bit lol. Won’t be doing those 😂. Will be fun to see how this goes and how my son learns. He will be 8 next month. 🤜🤛

[@RazorRC]

@ awesome, well for anyone not named koston, being able to do treflips at 36 is pretty impressive!

Koston was one of my favorites. No tre flips now lol. They put me down a lot at 14. Wouldn’t dare try it now 😂

[@randylivengood3112]

[@ch-vs3fw]

So cold you couldn't feel your hands? I think maybe the cold contributed to the breaky breaky. My "friend" took my TG off the tombstone jump at the indoor Amain track in northern CA and unstuck the landing from over 10 feet in the air and no issues. I can neither confirm or deny that we may have unstuck the landing *cough* (several) *cough* times and no breaks. We definitely did NOT collide with any track walls, barriers, other cars, solid stationary objects, or chairs of any kind. I'm really impressed with it, but our temps were well in the easily feeling our fingers and toes territory. Great video Even, I've been very much looking forward to your review on this one!

[@DerbyCityRC]

Well on the day it broke form slamming into the big wheel it was much warmer. Probs around 50° lol. actually it was when I was hitting the ramp and jumping like crazy when only the metal tie rod broke so even better, it did awesome in the crazy cold! Haha! No im sure you didnt hit any of that 😂😂

[@CDRaff]

4:55 Literally the first thing I do on any suitable ESC is change the battery connector to an equivalent XT(then I turn the original plug into an adapter). Coming from planes and FPV it's honestly weird that in the surface hobby there are so many different and proprietary connector types; I just want all my batteries to be compatible across all my RC hobbies.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Yup! As long as it’s deans, xt60, or ec5 I’m good lol. I understand innovation and improving but ya at some point they need to stick to one or two.

I beleive its GPM that makes a front shock tower brace that does really help strengthen it up.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Someone else mentioned that. I’ll look at it!

[@farmoboy83]

Is the steering sharp? i love my xhb 16890 brushless on 2s or 3s but it has a tendency to roll to one side when going straight and tried everything but keeps doing the same (better servo, better ervo horn, linkages checked and so on)

[@DerbyCityRC]

This didn’t seem to do that. Tracked very straight. On the bench the servo saver seems pretty loose but when actually driving it, I guess cuz the car is light, it had pretty snappy steering.

[@stevenbarlow7088]

Classic Typhon issue. The standard Typhon I had ,the chassis was first thing to go everytime. It's a weak point because it's plastic housings right on the axle . Typhon's major flaw but unreal car . I upgraded to a losi Eight E 2.0. when I can afford it I'm gonna get the TLR Typhon. The 6s Typhon I think has a metal chassis

[@WorkInLight]

Easy to work on, aesthetically pleasing, just a shame they have 2N1 ESC's and this chassis with built in shock towers, it has some advantages but one hell of a big disadvantage as you so graciously pointed out to us, albeit a little careless, but accidents happen, and quickly too. I will get an Arrma one day, the issue is which one with so many to choose from, and they cost a lot in New Zealand. Great vid brother, as always, I press 'like' before I watch the vid, and want to press it again afterwards, but we know that doesn't work.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Definitely a bit careless lol. I did make sure my kids were behind me except Max who was in the garage and knew it was coming. It stops quick just miss judged where that big wheel was lol. We all learned important info from it though! Really appreciate the likes, my friend! 🤜🤛

[@WorkInLight]

@@DerbyCityRC Just keep doing what you're doing and you'll keep getting them. Looking forward to the Grom and X12S comparison. With a little effort on their cars by one of those companies, I'm not sure there would be much of a comparison, but will they step it up a level or two? But of course, the cost will go up too which will change a lot too. Very interesting time to be an RC enthusiast.

[@dab_bod3520]

Even though smaller rcs have been a thing for a long time..I feel like arrma owes a lot to wltoys for the Grom line.

[@DerbyCityRC]

It was definitely smart of them to bring out a small scale. Seems to be doing very well. I’m sure they did it because of the success of all the smaller brands. I bet we see a micro maxx from traxx soon lol

[@williamwallace9427]

Definitely!

[@williamwallace9427]

I’m all for American companies providing good pay to American employees but I think we can also think WL toys for keeping costs of the competitors products in check… traxxas take note

[@DerbyCityRC]

Yes. Now that some of those brands are making good cars, I’d say it is helping keep costs down quite a bit.

[@V8chump]

@@williamwallace9427I agree. Arrma saw competition and is the first large company to bring these amazingly competitive prices and now (hopefully) it trickles down to the rest of the RC companies.

[@aknmtbr]

Patiently waiting on the comparison with rlaarlo. Lol

[@DerbyCityRC]

Haha! Me too 😆 Hoping to film that tomorrow (well, today)

[@lyricofwise6894]

Didnt know that the shock towers were connected to the chassis. Looks like Im getting the mojave grom then, small rcs are supposed to be about durability lol

[@DerbyCityRC]

I think the Mojave is the same way, but having a full body on it should be better. Still I wouldn’t call this a weak point and apparently GPM makes an extra enforcement brace for it.

[@mr.scurvy]

Did you give up on the scoring system?

[@DerbyCityRC]

Nope. Gonna use that when I do the comparison video.

[@holliswhite1494]

There is a shock tower brace

[@DerbyCityRC]

I have since been told. That should help some!

[@rayleonhartd121]

man that thing is fast for a small buggy jesus

[@DerbyCityRC]

Yes 🏎️ 💨

[@ElProfeMoto]

The reason why it moves so much midair is because the DSC. Disable and it will behave totally different.

I got into 5th scale, then freestyle fpv around a year ago. Good thing cause I have zero interest in all these tiny releases lol. Still enjoy your content though. Whenever you and your kids are ready to really step it up…get into fpv! 😉

[@DerbyCityRC]

Haha! I understand wanting only the big stuff. I do enjoy both and I de want to do some FPV. I feel like I’d mainly use that for crawling though. Actually you reminded me I was offered an FPV system. I need to respond to them lol Super glad you like the vids!!! 😊

[@RBRCbashem]

@ to be honest…it’s been hard playing with my rc stuff after getting into “freestyle” fpv. It’s a whole other level! The rush and gratification is unmatched. Fpv Rc is meh…at best lol.

[@DerbyCityRC]

@RBRCbashem I bet that is awesome!!

[@Logicislost81]

I've been wanting one of these or the mojave. Do a review on the mojave and tell us which one you like better. I trust your opinion

[@DerbyCityRC]

I don’t know if I’ll be getting a Mojave to keep or not. I might though! I think most likely for dirt ripping, I’d prefer the Mojave.

[@thegrafxguy1]

shoulda gotten those parts from Jennys. woulda been a lot cheaper. but they were probably sold out. chassis are 13 bucks there. just btw. edit: table action was freaking epic

[@DerbyCityRC]

Yup I checked, they were out of stock on the chassis and the arms lol Thanks!!

[@thegrafxguy1]

@@DerbyCityRC yup, figures. I tend to check once a day to see if the stuff I want is in and then buy it as soon as it shows up.

[@DerbyCityRC]

I do that too but didn’t want to delay the video. 😃

[@thegrafxguy1]

@DerbyCityRC respect

[@alantaylor353]

See the Chinese master copyists are producing knock off tyres for the Groms now, the Typhon & the Mojave.! I saw them on UK Ebay yesterday, a set of 4 wheels & tyres for £14. They look pretty decent.!! 👍 I've actually had a lot of luck with knock off tyres lately, especially the Proline BF Goodrich style with multi hex Raid rims & 17mm Hoons.!!

[@DerbyCityRC]

There’s definitely some good cheap tires out there!

[@Boogie_the_cat]

It's funny, i just watched a video on the Traxxas (new) Jato buggy, which was $350 and the reviewer didn't even run it stock, immediately put in a $150 motor and ESC and he got 43 MPH. I don't know what Traxxas is doing with their prices, but it sure doesn't stop the fanboys from buying it. Traxxas is working hard to raise all the industry prices, but the other brands are keeping them low. That's the #1 (out of many reasons) I won't buy anything Traxxas. They live on their advertising and reputation, but their products (aside from their durable chassis) are outdated and expensive. But the fanboys buy them, upgrade immediately abd try to pretend they got a good deal on the "best" RC in the world. That Jato buggy has a 12 tooth pinion out of the box. 12 ! That's the smallest RTR pinion I've heard of. People made fun of Team Corally using a 13 tooth pinion, but when Traxxas uses a 12 tooth: the fans stay silent. Traxxas fans creep me out, it's like a fricking cult: they won't ever admit to a bad decision by their "favorite" company. Yet, by pretending that garbage is gold, the fanboys are actively working to lower the quality of the brand. If they never make a complaint, Traxxas never improves their quality. Also, the Jato was recalled in europe because the boxes had asbestos dust in them. Maybe it was a free gift ?

[@DerbyCityRC]

Ya the Jato seemed a little underwhelming! I still may end up with a traxxas one day. I’d like a Maxx, but until they really impress me, I’m not sure that’s gonna happen. Luckily I was late to getting the mini Maxx and was able to see that I probably wouldn’t have been too happy with it. Lol

[@williamwallace9427]

Yep.. The time is rapidly approaching the only thing people buy from Traxxas is the X maxx

[@kuganreddy6921]

Great video .Not impressed with the weak chassis.Guess not suited for rough handling unlike the scy and hbx.products which can be had for waaaay cheaper

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks! I wouldn’t say it’s weak. Just blows when you DO break it. I really need to get tat scy buggy! Of course I love all their other stuff!

[@lyricofwise6894]

LOL no wonder youre not afraid of getting hit by your rc cars, I remember skateboarding in the early 2000's being is one of the most injury prone things/sports u can do

[@DerbyCityRC]

Haha! Worked up my impact confidence lol yup it’s rather dangerous. To me the coolest extreme sport there is!

[@BasedF-15Pilot]

We're 7 days into 2025 and I'm already grom'd out :)

[@DerbyCityRC]

So much Grom!

[@ArnoldKrT]

too many buggy's xD

[@DerbyCityRC]

😂😂 most likely the last one for a little while, except for the upcoming comparison lol

[@ArnoldKrT]

@DerbyCityRC even for a small car , looks very solid 😎

[@williamwallace9427]

You’ll get buggy content and you’ll like it

[@DerbyCityRC]

Yup!!

[@DerbyCityRC]

Haha! YEA!!!

[@PaquetDenis]

Skate ,punk rock ,rc s ,,,

[@DerbyCityRC]

Good combo!

[@Hubblereach0]

Ayyyyy first

[@Hubblereach0]

Do the stair set!

[@DerbyCityRC]

Niiiice!!! 🥇

[@DerbyCityRC]

If I do get back into it with my own board, I’ll likely do maybe some 3 stair sets or something lol. 😂

[@Hubblereach0]

Hell yeaaaaaaaa

[@DerbyCityRC]

@Hubblereach0 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@brandonwynn9801]

Now do another review jumping without the gyro. It flys wonky because the gyro is trying to correct while in the air. Good video otherwise...

[@DerbyCityRC]

I spaced on that. Still did good enough. She’ll appear in another video soon!
