How To Adjust Your Arrma Typhon 3s Slipper Assembly - Works On Most Arrma 3s Models

[@markg852]

Best video on this issue I have seen! I just melted my rear center driveshaft on my brand new 4S Kraton. First run on grass only 15 minutes. All signs lead to loose slipper.

[@nlamar84]

Thank you for making a quick to the point video... This is a great technique to properly set load on slipper assembly.. great job!

[@MidCoast]

Great vid man, it was quick and easy.

[@SebastianLong]

Lol. Guess I should have looked up this video when I was making adjustments to my slipper. I bought a Typhon 3s used and it didn't come with the manual so I was playing it by blind eye. I have 16 RCs and all come apart differently but I took the Typhon slipper out in a similar way to all my other RCs. Didn't realize that adjusting the slipper was that easy. I've only used it twice thus far. First run broke the cheap "aftermarket upgraded" shock shaft. When the guy sent me the Typhon, he also sent all the spares and parts that were swapped out so I just rebuilt 2 stock shocks just to run it. The second run the slipper had come loose and ended up pulling the top of the diff case off to try to get the trans out. Lol. What got me doing it that way was a lower skidplate was installed and didn't realize there were so many screws under it, After I seen how everything came apart, I realized I took way more apart than I had to. All I would have had to do to remove the slipper was one screw on the bottom, pull out the trans tie in bracket and lift the clip and pull forward. Now I know I wouldn't have even needed to do that. Lol. At least I know how the entire rear end comes apart now which I hadn't known before.

[@theRCelement]

lol well at-least you know now🤙. They are very easy to work on once you figure them out. Have fun bashing it bro!

[@RCRoads]

Thanks for sharing. The manual isn't very helpful but this video is. The 3s Arrma line is a snap to work on when you know the tricks. You make it look easy and removed the driveshaft like a pro. Great video. 👍👍

[@ArtietheArchon]

thanks for this video, using the drag and hold technique on a completely different vehicle but it's still the easiest way. I guess the surface you drag across will determine how tight your slipper is

[@theRCelement]

Thanks! Yeah the surface does make a difference, best to do it on something grippy

[@anthonyjones3345]

Good video. I thought something was wrong with mine because it doesn't roll as easy as vehicles with a center diff. The noise it makes made me think something was broken.

[@fxdwings]

Great simple video. Thank you

[@theRCelement]

Glad it helped!

[@eskimojoe6564]

Awesome video My typhon started making a clicking noise after a rock was on top of my center shaft.Ill try this fix

[@Directory1]

By far most amazing setup thx

[@ImTMBR]

Thanks for this helps loads easier going to take it apart haha

[@rustytoolman4912]

Thank you !

[@linou1968]

I got an aarma thyphon .but what is it for ?what impact on the car? Thx and have à happy newyear

[@brianu33]

When you say turns out form locked. Do I turn the screwdriver? Or roll the car? I’m lost

[@krashkingrc9715]

Awesome video excellent job definitely easy very smart

[@theRCelement]

[@slimsqde7397]

great video thank you!

[@THE14THPRIME229]

THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!

[@ukfieldninja8730]

Picked up one of these typhons. I changed the arms to RPMS but now when i roll it forward and back by hand it crunches and feels like it doesnt want to roll foward but will with a little bit of force... cant figure out why it doesnt roll smoothly. Kind of wondering if you knew any videos where i might be able to figure out how to fix.

[@theRCelement]

Sounds like you might have stripped your spur gear. Could be many other things though 🤔

[@ukfieldninja8730]

@@theRCelementbeing a noob i had just got the typhon out of the box and immidiatly changed the arms... i didnt roll it foward and back to see how the typhon transmission works... Having run it, i can see the typhon transmission wont just "roll" when pushed by hand, the driveshafts on the arms need force to make them turn I thought i had broke it before i rven put a battery in it... i was comparing it with is a ftx vantage 2.0 which has a different transmission system and can "roll" when pushed as it needs much less force to turn the metal bar driveshafts unlike the "slip in pipe" driveshafts on the typhon 🤦‍♂️

[@CaptainCandycorn]

@@ukfieldninja8730 this is how mine was out of the box and it's because you need to set the mesh properly. They come insanely tight and it makes them unable to roll easily by hand. If you run it this way it will destroy the bearings/gears/motor. The first thing I noticed is how it doesn't roll easily, and after setting the mesh it rolls how you would expect it to.

[@ukfieldninja8730]

@@CaptainCandycorn cheer mate, i have been running it as is until today when i stripped it all down for the first time to cleaned it out.. i see what you mean about the mesh.. Running it hasnt destroyed the spur gear but the mesh is so tight the pinion has carved itself into it. I knew it didnt feel right to need such force to make the car roll foward ..

What a cool video, you have to subscribe right away.

Buen video amigo!! me gusto mucho!!😜😜 +1 a muchos les vendra bien amigo!!

[@alexanderdavila4087]

I love rc cars and helicopters and planes

[@theRCelement]

Me too 🤙

[@yonicozac]

In my experience setting it this way is way too tight. When the wheel stop spinning you are fully tighten it. I like to set mine 2 turns open from fully locked

[@theRCelement]

Two full turns out? Doesn’t that slip way to much for you? I have messed around with different settings and find this method is perfect for my Typhon and Big Rock. But hey, if that’s working for ya then go for it buddy 🤙

[@yonicozac]

@@theRCelement the manual says 1.5 turns open from locked. But for me 2 turns doesn’t slip and i feel it’s working great. I have the car for 3 years already, never broke a diff or driveshaft (did wore down a diff though)

[@theRCelement]

@@yonicozac I was curious to how many turns out this method actually sets the slipper. I took it apart to access the slipper assembly several times after doing this method. The slipper is actually set at 1 full turn out when the wheel lock up. You can still crank the screw in one full turn with the assembly in your hand. Good to know. So you are not far off from this method👍

[@yonicozac]

@@theRCelement Interesting! on my Senton it actually locked the slipper all the way. i guess it depends on tires and the traction of the surface you do it on.. Maybe i put more pressure on the car when doing this.. i dont know

[@theRCelement]

@@yonicozac Yeah, i’m sure it depends on the surface and how much pressure. Gotta love these Arrma 3s models though 🤙

[@vesentearsiaga8729]

After 5 years already you should have been already big you need to do what the people want I want to see your KZbin grow I want to see videos like you did with your daughter like them type of videos outgoing pulling stuff them videos are cool.

[@theRCelement]

Hey buddy! I’m not really trying to grow the channel anymore. I don’t put out videos that often anymore. My daughters are no longer part of the channel anymore either. Making videos now is just a hobby within the hobby. Thanks for supporting the channel over the years though. I still love RC!!

[@scottm2398]

Im not a big fan of setting it this way..the stock setting in the manual is 1 and half turns from fully tight . .I tried setting it the way shown in this video and i ended up stripping my rear diff within the first battery pack..how I set it it now is I just pop the power module out real quick and without disassembling it at all I hold the spur gear to keep it from spinning as I tighten down the slipper completely then back off accordingly. .1.5 turns from fully tight with new slipper pads seems to be perfect. doing it my way at least you know exactly how much it is set from fully tight.

[@theRCelement]

I was curious to how many turns out this method actually sets the slipper. I took it apart to access the slipper assembly several times after doing this method. The slipper is actually set at 1 full turn out when the wheel lock up. This works well for my type of bashing. I run on dirt and don’t do anything extreme. So yeah, if you are bashing hard then I would back it out another half turn or full turn

[@suburbankid9432]

Somebody on Facebook marketplace using your picture trying sell rc cars for over $1000 dollars

[@theRCelement]

Bunch of scammers lol. I have seen that before. Not with my content but with other RC channels content. Do you have a link to it?

[@vesentearsiaga8729]

I've been here for a long time since you did the skateboarding video with RC cars. I want to see more videos like that at parks skate parks I want to see bashing and stuff like that. To be quite honest all these reviews and fixing stuff is kind of boring.

[@vesentearsiaga8729]

I can see your KZbin channel getting that 600k but you got to do with the people want enough for these boring videos I want to see more funner spontaneous videos I want to see you on my for you page..
