Hey there Addam🤠👩. Very nice trade mate, he is extremely generous sending you so much👍. Good things happen to good people. Nice work with the Arrma👌, they look so tough sitting together👊. Thanks for sharing your interesting video Addam. We hope you're having a nice week👍🦘🇦🇺

[@AddamsPlayground]

Hi Guys!! I hope you two are doing well and having a good week! I made out really well on the trade and was blown away with everything in the box! The Typhon is good to go now and they do look pretty mean sitting side by side. The Losi car will take some time but I look forward to it as I have never seen one in person so it should be fun! I am glad you enjoyed the video and both of you have a great weekend! Say hello to Ingrid for me!

​@@AddamsPlayground Hi mate, We're doing pretty well thanks 👍. Ingrid said hi Addam with her big happy smile🤩. Seeing you go through all that was better than BUYEE I think👌. So many goodies. That Losi looks nice too, plenty of potential there. Also we're Sub'd to your friends channel no music RC👍. Take care our friend👩🤠.

Great presentation, Addam. Nice work on the rebuild. I have been considering an Arrma Typhon as my next purchase.

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. It was a great trade and both of us got new project to tinker around with and moved stuff one we were not using. If you find a good sale on the 3s BLX Typhon, grab one, you won't be upset you did! Look for deals coming up for the Christmas sales, Arrma usually discounts almost their entire lineup for the holidays!

Nice trading Addam! Those buggies are HUGE bud 💪🏻

[@AddamsPlayground]

Yeah the Typhon is a 1/8 scale so it is a good bit bigger than our normal Tamiya ones! It is also a super fun little chaos buggy too, it does well on the track on 2s but will redecorate the tard on 3s!!! It is really fun on Al's bigger track. I need to get back over there for some fun soon!

So glad to see you guys helping out one other I always hear Keith comment on his channel and others always supporting one another

[@AddamsPlayground]

It is very cool how the YT channel has changed my life and the connections I have made. I have been a solo RC guy for the vast majority of my life. A few friend in high school had some and then for a few years my best friend and I would bash around together but mostly it was always just me. Now I have this huge network of friend from all over the world I can ask questions from, help out, talk about things, trade with, send gifts to and all that... it is really neat and I never in a million years would have thought I would have that. I am very blessed and happy I decided to do the whole YT thing. I will never be financially rich from doing it but I sure am friend rich from doing it! Take care and have a great week!

Thanks Mads! I appreciate it and it was a great deal. I had decided to send it to him for free but he would not allow it and sent over a ton of stuff to tinker on! The Typhon will be a fun one to beat on and I can work to getting the other tuned up for the track running. There was a ton of extras in there as well. I look forward to working on the Losi as I have never even seen one in person let alone worked on one!

[@danjaz2000]

After a hard day's work. I think that arrma tearing it up in the yard or on the track could be the answer. The xxx s is also a cool period piece definitely worth a bit of time to bring it back

[@AddamsPlayground]

Yes, the Arrma ones are so great at going out and blowing off some steam with them! I can run 2s and drive it with some sense or toss in a 3s and aerate the lawn with it! I am looking forward to getting to work on the XXX S, I remember them from the magazine s back in the day but being a country kid there was nowhere for me to run one so it was just a cool on to see in the ads and articles. Now it will be cool to get it back in working order and get out and run one. I need to get some stuff and a body for it. I want to try and do a cool 90s paint scheme on it too, something that would look right at home in a old copy of RC Car Action!

It's great when you make a trade with a responsible person. You received a lot of neat things. The xxx-s is. great parking lot car. I raced one summer and it drove really well. It's been my experience with old Losi belted cars finding belts is sometimes difficult. I see you have a couple of extra belts which ix great. It's nice when you receive suprises in the mail. It's like Christmas.

Hi there Mike! It was a huge surprise to see everything in that box when it showed up! The Typhon is all sorted I think I will get out with it soon. I look forward to the Losi as I remember it from all the cool on-road cars featured in the magazines growing up but I never saw any in person. living out here in the country it was all off-road and I didn't know anyone running on-road then. So it will be fun digging into that one. I want to get a period looking body and give it a cool 90s paint scheme as well! Lots and lots of tinkering to do!

[@All_RC_Fun]

WOW!!!!! Now that is what you call a haul of parts. Now that you have given the Ryft to someone who will enjoy it. The Typhon mega looks great with all the new parts and upgrades. I had those shocks and there is nothing that can be done (3 sets)😥😥 was using them on the Kraton and Outcast 4s. Take care and hope to see the newer Typhon in a video.

[@AddamsPlayground]

I did pretty good on the trade! We goth were able to clear out some stuff not being used and give each other some tinkering projects. The Typhon will be a fun basher and I can work on setting the other to be a little more of a track buggy than basher although it will always be a fun basher too! I have one more idea for the shocks and if that doesn't work I am out of ideas! Thad has already called dibs on them so I will probably be sending them off to him after the last chance idea! LOL!!

Wow. What a trade! Very generous of him. Can’t believe he actually put some cash in the Typhon too.😂 Great job bringing it back to running shape.👍😊

Yeah, I think I did really well and was not expecting most of it to show up! The cash falling out of the Typhon was hilarious! I rubbed it like a magic lamp just in case when it happened but no more fell out, I had to check! LOL! I think I got the Typhon back in good shape and will get out with it soon I hope. I am looking forward to working on the Losi as well as that is one I have never laid hands on before! Take care and have a great week!

[@HaydadRC]

Nice trade Addam! I’d say you made out quite well and a win for both sides!👍😊

[@AddamsPlayground]

It worked out well, both are happy and I surely have a ton of stuff to tinker on! I think the Typhon is good to go and the Losi will need a rebuild, a body and paint so that one will take a bit longer. Not to mention the other 27 thing I need to get to! LOL!

[@nomusicrc]

LAST I didn't know the typhon was in that bad of shape when I sent it to you I'm sorry The stock shocks leaked even more than the aluminum ones that's why I replaced them on this RC and the senton and the granite The plastic cover for the back of the losi XXXS was in the box It's clear so it might be hard to see I love that you showed absolutely everything I sent you I'm sitting there going he's not going to talk about the spinner but you did and you also mentioned the $60 I sent you that was to cover the shipping of you sending me the ryft

[@AddamsPlayground]

No worries at all, the was just enough water sitting in the diff housing (drops not a puddle) to rust them up. I didn't mind tearing into and fixing a few things, I got very lucky to find that guy on eBay selling stuff at good prices, much better than retail! The other bits were more preventative maintenance type of stuff. I had fun digging into it and getting it shined back up some. Now it is ready to tear up my yard when I get time to rip it around. So far I have not had any issues from my stock shocks but these were so cheap I grabbed them to put on there. I am definitely keeping the others and will tinker with them some more to try and keep them from twisting loose. I think some thicker o-rings may be the winning ticket. I will triple check everything, it my be stuck in the box and I missed it. If it is just clear lexan I can make a new one if needed. That was a really cool surprise in there and I look forward to getting that one rebuilt. I need to find a body and a cool paint scheme for it like the ones I saw in the magazines back in the day, they always had the coolest paint jobs! I do appreciate everything in there and you overdid it but again, I am grateful for it and I am very happy you are happy to have the Ryft! Take care and have a great week, check your email....

That is a great deal on the Typhon, they are super fun buggies. If you ever buy from eBay search for the seller my-work-your-saving and that is the seller I got my parts from. He has new 3s bodies for less than $30 and tons of other parts. I got 5 or 6 things and they combine the shipping on it all.

I am looking forward to getting the Losi all fixed up as well, need a few parts still but that should be a fun one. The Typhon is a great buggy and super tough. It runs really well on the 2s packs and it is controllable and fun. On 3s, that really kicks it up a notch and it is a fun one to rip up the grass and sling the dirt and rocks around with!!!

Looks like you done well there Addam! Absolutely no point in hanging onto a car that your not feeling,they only take up space. As for those seized bearings..... I've got exactly the same problem with my kyosho Fazer Mk2. I stupidly put it away wet one night,which resulted in seized rusted bearings in both the hubs,and the prop shaft..... We live and learn! Maybe Tamiya were onto something with their crappy plastic bushings all along?! 😂 😅 🤣 👍 👍 👍

[@AddamsPlayground]

Yeah I did really well on the trade for sure! I enjoyed tearing the Typhon down and getting it ready to rip. it was a quick rebuild and one of the few kits i have where I can drive to the hobby shop and get all the parts I need!! For wet weather running it is important to dry them off or use the bushings in them! The rubber sealed bearing I guy seem to be so much better than stock bearing as well, no issues from them yet but I do try and avoid the wet and the muck as much as possible! Take care James!

I love them and I have been toying with getting the 4s Kraton but have not made the purchase yet but the 3s line is a bunch of fun. I like them on 2s here as they are tame enough to run around the track and in the yard without slamming into trees. But on 3s they come alive and are nutty little things.

Ok so as an old skool hobby guy who still runs mardave stuff. Dont "crimp" the top of your shocks to stop them coming loose. A lap of ptfe tape, a smear of paint, a wee blob of blutack or even a dab of the wifes nail polish will do if you cant get your hands on any thread locking compound.

[@AddamsPlayground]

I did not have any ptfe tape handy and the treads are soo loose on there it needed something drastic. I thought of thread lock but I was not sure how "forever" that may end up being! I will pick up some ptfe tape next time I am at the hardware store. Thanks for the tips.

[@rcuintheshed6981]

💪score nice trade off I'm a fan of the brushed version brushless is fun but it's to much power i can't answer for the typhon but the big rock i have a love hate relationship love driving it but it always needs fixing or has an issue you could drive it in the lounge room it will still get a rock stuck in it somewhere but the higher grade motor and electronics are hard to go past that amount of power is definitely for a good track somewhere definitely the right move one basher one track 👊

Yeah I made out really well on this trade and I have a ton to tinker on! The 3s is a lot of fun and they run great on 2s, more docile and controllable but it is fun to stick the 3s in and go bananas with it at times! Al's bigger track is a great place to run them. Sorry to hear the Big Rock is kind of a thorn to deal with. It does take the fun out of it even before something happens. That is why I parked the Ryft, it couldn't break if I didn't drive it!

Yeah the bodies just want to twist and loosen up when you cycle the suspension. It does not happen quickly but over the course of a full run I can see one more of them loosening up to the point they would leak. These bigger, more powerful ones are not my normal but they are great fun from time to time.

Wouldn't the thread take you put on threaded water line fittings work on the shocks? Maybe locktite if nothing else?

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thread tape could possibly work, not sure if the oil would break it down or not . Thread lock may be a permanent solution, I might not be able to get them apart again. I have a couple other ideas, I think a slightly thicker o-ring would help, the ones on there are very thin profile and I don't think compress much at all. The o-ring compressing would add the little bit of tension on the threads to help hold them in place and create a better seal. When I found the stock ones on sale for $19 for a full set I just grabbed them for an immediate fix and I will tinker around with these later.

[@David-mf9bk]

I have a Senton 3s brushless truck and i have gone through 2 sets of front stock Arrma shocks on it. And i haven't even jumped it or really bashed it hard. But the shock shafts kept bending. So i put the Pro-Line front rear one on and have no issue. But the one major issue i did have was my ESC started to go out on me. And that is the stock one that you have in yours as well. I guess it's a common thing. I put a Quicrun 10BL120 in there to replace it. So that leads me to a question to you or anyone who watches this. Do you know of a mount that can be used with that Quicrun? Because 2 sided tape will not hold it to the top of the steering servo cover. Any help on this would be great. And the Typhons are a blast! You should get a Typhon Grom and really have fun.

[@AddamsPlayground]

I guess I have been lucky and have not broken any of mine yet and none have showed signs of leaking. Now my Senton has not run too much as it sits out in the garage and is not one I go out ad grab too often. My granite I beaten the snot out of and have broken drive shafts and stuff but no shock issues (knocks on wood)! I have heard the stock ESCs do have some issues, I cannot remember if it was certain versions or just in general. Do you have the small 10BL120 or the larger G2 version? (it is dumb they have two with the same part number!) For the small one I cannot think of anything other than servo tape to use. For the other one since it has a more rigid fan housing you could drill two small hole in the receiver box on each side of the ESC and run a zip tie around it through the holes in the lid to help hold it in place along with the servo tape. I mean you could try it with the small on but it may interfere with the fan as there is not shroud covering it. I do have a Typhon Grom and it is a fun one. I need to get it back out for a rip!

@@AddamsPlayground Ya i have the G2 version. There are two holes predrilled into the bottom of it and i am told Hobbywing is the only place to get the mount from. But i look on their site and they dont have anything. And so far my local Hobbytown hasn't really done any help to help me find one. And i dont wanna drill into the servo housing since that is waterproof. There has got to be a mount for the G2 out there that relocates it between the motor and the servo housing as im told thats what most people do. And my Sentons ESC went out in less than 2 years and i only had 4 5 runs with it.

Yes, I have to learn more about some of them if they would handle a car or not. I have to go through and test them all but lots of other stuff to do first.
