Is it a BASHER or a RACER ??? - Arrma Typhon TLR

[@letzvisit1661]

Hi I’m thinking of getting this very car this week as a roller. I eventually want to do speed runs and build it up. What do you think a good starting radio and motor with servo would be just to get it up and running. And did you get any better bolts (the ones you rounded off) if so what size are they and length? Did you find any metal chassis supports? If so I want to get those also. Thanks for any help you have I think this looks an awesome car tbh

[@MikeTheBarber86]

Dude thanks you so much for the dremmel tip on the arrma screws mate. They are notorious for that and I have ny motor stuck because of a stripped bolt

[@HardcoreRC]

Your welcome, its been my stock answer to Arrma screws when they burr out, quite common. I have now bought 100 M4 X 18mm Full Thread Cap Head (12.9) www.accu.co.uk/en/cap-head-screws/16024-SSCF-M4-18-12-9 Cost £4 for 100 of them, and also some M4 washer to sit under then. Issue solved for ever. For 8p a car Arrma could do this !!!!!!!!!!!

The only cars i have these issues on are Arrma, and then never have the issues once i replace the screws. It is a fairly well know issue with Arrma, that and the amount of red threadlock they use 😂😂 if this hasnt happened to you yet that day is deffo coming 😂😂 Its also why places like this make replacements: scorchedparts.co.uk/collections/arrma-kraton-6s/products/arrma-motor-mount-upgrade-titanium-screws-1-5th-8s-1-8th-6s-and-1-7th-scale-trucks

Once set up with s sensored motor and a good servo it is indeed a competitive racer as I have been racing it for a while at Amain Hobbies outdoor supercross track.

I have a regular 6s RTR and my friend has a LTR, he has bent the chassis several times doing big jumps , I have not bent mine at all, he has ordered a aftermarket chassis due in any day., it’s not made for jumps it’s made for the track and light bashing IMO.

[@HardcoreRC]

will depend on how you land, the TLR chassis is stronger than the stock chassis, but not as strong as an M2C chassis, we have bashed the snot out of ours and it takes it very well, on the track its not even close to being as good as real race buggies like Tekno, Koyosho, Xray etc. Thanks for watching 👍

The Roller TLR is deffo the best Typhon to get, would recommend changing the chassis braces as with any Arrma car though, its deffo not a racing buggy, i drove the Typhon TLR and then an Koyosho MP10 at the weekend, the MP10 dumps on the Typhon from a height un-heard of for handling and racing around a track, its not even close

@@HardcoreRC I not sure yet. I've got the mother of all kratons for thrashing and bashing so possibly a high speed mild basher. I did get a set of 4 hoons from the rear of a felony for car parks, but not speed runs, (the eyes aren't good enough for the distance). I think I am going to run it a few times first, (I still have an almost complete kraton exb in parts from the last build) so I think it will just evolve into something. 🤔👍

[@TTRC]

@@HardcoreRC yeah. I almost bought the rtr typhon and I would have junked the radio, esc, motor and servo so this was spot on.

[@DESOUSAB]

Just a comment on your comments about the servo. My experience with those Amazon-level 25kg servos is not at all similar to what I see on the internet. I have two of them. Both are utter garbage. They will not recenter properly under any sort of load (i.e., a carpet, or grass) and they will not hold the EPA adjustments under heavy load (such as going in reverse). This makes the steering very sloppy, especially under load or at high speed (i.e., when you most want steering control...). My use case here is a heavier than stock Axial Bomber with an Axe 550 system on stock 2.2 tires. Front wheel weights make the problem worse. Going to a better servo completely eliminates the issue. I am currently running a 3Brothers G14 directly off of 3S Lipo. Save your money folks and buy decent servos.

[@HardcoreRC]

Dont get ours from Amazon, only ever get from Banggood, don't know if that makes a difference or not, but from our experience and many others i know these are great servos, not the fastest and not the strongest, but work very well in 1/10th and 1/8th scale bashers, not had any issues with not being able to turn wheels or not re-center etc. These servos are in our Kraton EXB, Talion, Notorious, Typhon TLR, Kronos XTR, Granite, Bigrock speed car (105mph), Limitless x2 speed cars, Mojave EXB and the DR8. In two years of using them only had 2 fail. We only promote items we use ourselves and recommend.

[@MJ-gq9nv]

Why not asplit rubber hose under the motor!, Is there room or space for a can mount at the back?

Yeah, think i still prefer the pink one, just hope this isnt a sign of the times where they stop all the rollers and just give the RTR's.

slough rc track is ok. just been over with my tlr

[@Rockatha]

It's a race buggy so you need to make sure it's got decent tyres on it. Losi 8ight would be alot better though.

[@HardcoreRC]

We dont race, and as you say a Losi 8ight or Tekno EB would kill it on the track anyways, There is more bashing parts on this than race parts 😂😂

[@Rockatha]

@@HardcoreRC yes I sort of see what your saying now. What is it actually for and why would TLR an extremely successful racing brand create a basher. What's next and Arrma Tuned Scx10.

[@HardcoreRC]

@@Rockatha Both Arrma and TLR owned by Horizon, so the Horizon bean counter sit round a table and come up with this idea to sell more Typhons, they already had the EXB Kraton, Outcast and Talion so was only the Typhon left. Dont forget Arrma was born out of Team Durango and this is based on the old team durango dex8 But its purely a money grab, im not moaning though as its a better RC than the RTR Typhon and i also get to put my own electrics in

[@Rockatha]

@@HardcoreRC I knew that Losi was the first brand that Horizon bought but I didn't realise Arrma came from team Durango. I had always wondered what had happened to Durango. I take it you must have raced in the past for you to know that info.

[@HardcoreRC]

@@Rockatha Nope never raced, just some of the useless information i seem to pick up when i get interested in something 😂😂 When owned Hobbico Arrma was registered as ARRMA Durango, Ltd

[@TheRCAdventurist]

Looks like a bit of both

[@HardcoreRC]

My take is that its a good handling basher - had loads of fun with it Sunday

[@yyckey5022]

That's really not enough testing on one jump, guess need to wait to see if this TLR typhon can handle high jumps.

[@HardcoreRC]

Yep, its sucked to have the motor go first jump, but that's the way it goes, don't worry it will be going back to the high jump 😂

[@BarstoneRC]

It’s a shame it died that quick but it definitely seems like it’s a little hybrid it’s kind of good at bashing and racing?

[@HardcoreRC]

Yeah it was a great shame as had plans to really test it, still new motor is in and has a 3d printed support now, so it will get another skate park testing session 😂

[@xXxREDEEMEDxXx-yc9ne]

Were you bashing on 6s ?

[@HardcoreRC]

4s, did the speed run on 6s and 4s - 6s hit 68mph. To be honest with the 2200kv motor and 19 tooth pinion 4s is more then enough, also saves then trying to find 6s packs that fit

[@flameboi2014]

Love the channel guys . But does drive me mad that you dont help other drivers out when your stood next to a car thats upside down 🤦 . Other than that grate content lol

[@HardcoreRC]

Thanks for loving the channel. Turning cars over would depend on the circumstances, Normally at ARC its a one lap race, so everyone knows if you roll over your out the race, then cars get turned over once the race is over. There is a lot that goes on that you dont see as its not filmed, i pick up and turn over a hell of a lot of cars all day when out filming on the track

[@MrValelove]

Number pignon?

[@HardcoreRC]

19 tooth pinion on the 2200kv motor

[@westtxgreg]

Good for bash racing. Don’t think it can compete with full out race cars from associated, kyosho or losi.

[@HardcoreRC]

Thats my take on it as well, a good handling basher, as you say wont keep up with proper race buggies

[@Nbainfinite6eight4what]

That's crazy fast 🤩🤣😎👍👌

It gets a gallop on with 6s 😂

So not a racer or a basher … great video awesome content. Really enjoyed the vid honestly I’m a little disappointed with the performance of the car

[@biltong3470]

Dave loves to get in the danger zone with his mistress the k8

[@HardcoreRC]

K8's scare me, dont mind if they are smaller and i can get out the way. The problem is that place to stand is the best place and easier to start the race, but cars just always head for you there, been hit s few times now

[@isaackshirley4695]

Its a losi racer but when u flip the switch its a arrma tough basher bacer lol

[@HardcoreRC]

My opinion is that its a basher sprinkled with some better handing from TLR 😂😂

[@isaackshirley4695]

True story

[@samcourtrc6767]

This is class Dave I love it It looks awesome I love the colours buddy

[@HardcoreRC]

Thanks - it does look nice, have fallen in love with the little buggy after my drive of it over the weekend

[@johnscotto7803]

We have the car and Electrics it did 70 mph

[@HardcoreRC]

Yeah it should be able to do 70mph on 6s, but think 67s is a bit much and prefer running it on 4s

[@MrValelove]

Thankx for all

@@HardcoreRC Thx Boss! How did the motor heat and electronics do with 19T? I have one for the bashing coming to add 2050kv motor for 4S. How was the heat :-) Sir on 19T? Thx

[@HardcoreRC]

@@ParcoUpchurch On stock tires the heat was fine, now have bigger Badland MX28 on and it was getting a bit on the warm side so added a heatsink and geared it down a bit

[@ParcoUpchurch]

@@HardcoreRC thx for the reply all very helpful. Are those the Proline MX28 they make specifically for the Typhon similar to stock or the truggy 2.8" MX badlands some bashers use?

[@HardcoreRC]

@@ParcoUpchurch Its the wider basher ones - need to truggify it though or they dont fit due to the smaller hubs on the Typhon: www.modelsport.co.uk/product/pro-line-badlands-mx28-2.8-all-terrain-tyres-mounted-on-raid-6x30-wheels-black-2--437821

[@scuttdamutt]

Based on your driving I can’t tell what it is. U definitely aren’t a racer I can tell that much.

[@HardcoreRC]

Have never said we are racers, but then neither is this buggy 😂😂

[@alexpeacock3870]

It's a basher . From a racer!

[@HardcoreRC]

Im still of the opinion its a basher with tweaked handling, loving it though 👍

[@MrYukon04]

You're taking the car straight out of the box untuned on the suspension versus a car that's probably set up for that crappy track and it's only a second slower yeah the typhoon TLR is better. That style track is more for a truggy with bigger tires

[@HardcoreRC]

Both cars were on stock settings, both on 4s and both on the same ESC and Motor. Yes one is a buggy and one a Truggy, but simple fact is the TLR Typhon is not a race bred buggy, any real race buggy will eat it for breakfast on the track, its just a marketing move by Arrma to sell more cars, if it was a race buggy it certainly wouldn't sell with the Spektrum system like that are pushing it out as an RTR now. It is better than the standard typhon though

[@MrYukon04]

@@HardcoreRC well I'm not too familiar with the Arma other than I guess they bought out losee I'm used to the old school like I have a Mugen MBX-5 and I was racing with the off-nos and the other Adam Drake cars and stuff like that so I'm assuming the arma would be a good car right out of the box which I have one and it seems to be good but I'm not using it for track. But that track y'all were on I don't believe a scale would do very well unless you put truggy tires on it

[@HardcoreRC]

@@MrYukon04 Arrma didnt buy out Losi, Horizon did and Horizon also own Arrma, plus a ton of other brands. Arrma 6s cars are all based on the Team Durango platform and the Buggy is based off the Team Durango DX8, the whole move by Horizon doing the TLR Typhon was purely a marketing money making move, its a good mid grade Buggy but wont touch the likes of a Mugen, Tekno, Losi, Xray, Koyosho buggy

[@MrYukon04]

@@HardcoreRC I'm sorry that's what I meant horizon bought out losi and Tower hobbies and all that crap it's been a while since I've been in the game but yeah I figured this was a decent little car I've always been a team associated guy but you know when I found out they don't make certain brands anymore I was like well what's the next best thing and the hobby shop said that this line was a high-end line brand lol like I said my Mugen MBX5 is old school but it's been completely upgraded with everything

[@HardcoreRC]

@@MrYukon04 I guess it would depend on what you class as high end, its a good hobby grade buggy, prefer it as the roller rather then the RTR as the RTR electrics are pretty 💩💩 but its not a race grade buggy. I guess it will depend on what you going to use it for, general bashing, bash racing etc then yeah its a good car, racing at club etc level better to get a real race buggy

[@leorall5234]

I think its half race half bash buggy neither and both at the same time

6 of one and half a dozen of the other as my mum would say 😂

How it sounds its a racer. Don't know don't have one.
