Updated Arrma Typhon 3S V2 1/8 Scale Buggy 4x4 In-Depth New Unboxing [Up Close]

[@LawrenceTimme]

Good in depth look. I got a ttx 300 with my smt10 and it's miles better than even my dx2e I used in my hyper St. It's probably the best radio I've had! I just wish they made a mid range one with model memory and a screen, so I could use it on all my rc's.

[@ThePurpleBenchRC]

Man, Tactic definitely needs to make something midrange! Not very much to choose from in that market and Tactic would kill it!

[@LawrenceTimme]

@@ThePurpleBenchRC I agree. Just a black and white screen with channel mixing so I could do dual steering for my smt10 and it would be perfect.

I know Im randomly asking but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost my password. I love any tips you can give me

[@kierandaxton2597]

@Ridge Camden Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

Hi. I like your videos. Recently got a Typhon and have been looking at the PL shock upgrade. Looking good with the Trenchers too! 3s BLX Typhon rocks.

[@BOOGiNS]

Spot on about the slack in the cables. I had my granite and typhon both wedge into the driveshaft crease and melt down the wire casing and some wire threads. Both of my cars within the first two runs. Had them shortened.

[@ThePurpleBenchRC]

Yah, pretty surprised Arrma hasn't thrown in a cheap lil cable tie down on these 3s cars.

[@jorgemanuel6705]

Hi there, Awesome review... I just literally purchase one... I have one question... I have a bunch of Traxxas batteries and I would like to use them for this model. Can you share a link for an adapter? Thanks again.

[@norcalrc]

The body goes on over the capacitors. You just need some positive visualization. If you have more than 12 inches of wire between ESC and battery it is always advisable to shorten leads or add a set of capacitors. Replace the shocks with some 6s talon shocks and send it. This thing begs for abuse. It loves it. If you use good batteries it will have a tendency to shred tires at full throttle. Have fun

[@SpeedSyko]

I suggest routing the motor wires that fit perfect between the motors and esc. The wires get damaged in the stock location. GREAT VIDEO!!!

[@ThePurpleBenchRC]

Thanks for the tips!

[@RC4X4]

This is a awesome buggy. I just ordered one. I was at the LHS and saw the 6s version. It's heavy. I went with this one cause I thought it would suit me better and the packs will fit in my other vehicles I have. Can't wait to get it. I love the spoke wheels too.

[@brianu33]

Ok. I just bought this for a Christmas gift, should I check the box for the spectrum remote? Or is it not out yet for these cars

[@ThermosAbtermos]

So I have one coming in the mail. What modifications if any should I look forward to doing? This is my first time getting into anything RC by the way.

[@lennchadful]

little frustrated with the assembly of mine. someone mounted the turnbuckles and coud make the wheel even close to straight? make me wonder on the QC of Arrma

[@ThePurpleBenchRC]

I too have experienced the same, not to mention screws missing completely. Unfortunately it does seem that the QC has gone down within recent years.

[@choke666]

THANX FOR THE INFO MAYN! MINE WILL B HERE IN 5 DAYS!

[@imserious2187]

I was waiting for the 6s but it's still out of stock everywhere, so I ordered a 3s

[@timmytfpv7316]

Just curious what kind of run time can you get on just bashing hitting some jumps not just speed runs down the street lol . Thanks for the review btw

[@wiiwille]

I layed my batt wire over the esc and ziptied it to the motor wires. Works grate.

[@ernestovillarreal753]

I just bought mine comes with a stx radio and it has a switch on the handle marked (A &B) what might that be for?

[@eskimojoe6564]

I ordered mine a few days ago cuz amain actually had them back in stock.I think $299 was a steal and couldn’t pass it up.This will be my first Arma vehicle :) I’m thinking about taking out the crappy stock radio and replacing it with radiolink reciever for my rc4gs

[@ThePurpleBenchRC]

Have you swapped out the radio yet? The Tactic that this one came with is good stuff, but the Spektrum that the newer ones come with are definitely crappy. Radiolink is great!

[@joseCalderon1976]

My granite BLX 4x4 brushless that I bought about 2 months ago came with the TTX300 3-CH radio. But now, from what I've seen at the LHS and online they've changed that to the spectrum cheap radio. It's almost impossible to find a new 3s Arrma rig with the ttx300 anymore. Bummer. Subscribed.

[@jcastillo265]

Awesome video! Very informative. With the plays on the wheels, is there a shimming option to make it not wobble as much?

[@nick81olson100]

Great unboxing video.. you covered everything perfectly.. My biggest complaint with this vehicle is the placement of the cap pack on the esc..It makes it hard to put the body clip in the post.. I've had mine for 3 weeks now and that cap pack has started to run threw my body and also the cap pack is all dented in from banging against the top of the servo... I contacted Horizon and am waiting to see what they want to do about it... They are looking into it..

[@xXMrfreezeXx]

I came up a solution for the Cap pack thing it works for me personally I posted it on the Arrma forums. www.arrmaforum.com/threads/2019-arrma-typhon-3s-v2-w-ic5-connector-unboxing-video.12856/

[@drrogue]

Nick Olson you can also place the esc between the motor and the receiver box

[@babupranav]

I noticed that you have a gap on the shaft that is showing the metal input to the spur. Is the shaft loose or not properly tight?

[@cyberduck7377]

So all the 3s blx Arrma trucks like the granite has the IC5 connecter too? Where did you get the bearing for the plastic bushings? Can you show me the parts to upgrade the steering for 3s blx Arrmas for smoother action?

[@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC]

Nicely done

[@Custnam]

You must have gotten one of the last 2019 ones with the Tactic system. I searched high and low and nowhere can I find one that doesnt have the garbage Spektrum radio. And my Notorious also came with the Spektrum so I bought a Tactic TTX300 from ebay and installed it.

[@Planespotterdude]

I love mine but arma did get me mad. A badly stripped screw on clutch cover. I had to take it to a shop to remove it. Free but i had to drive a ways. Bad arma lol. I saw a video that said the oem motor bearings are not sealed and ruin the motor real quick, like 5 or so uses. Mine are sealed high quality bearings, totally clean and flawless. Its a v3 so maybe arma got wise finally

[@ThePurpleBenchRC]

I too have had some issues with a few new Arrma's, but luckily they were easy fixes, right from my own garage. Sorry to hear that a shop had to step in on a new RC of yours, but glad it's fixed...and those sealed bearings will last you a long time! Thanks!

[@joseCalderon1976]

What size bearings are does for the steering my friend? Where did you pick those up? Thanks! Would that also be the case for the granite 4x4 BLX?

[@drrogue]

5x10x4 Jims. Bearings kit has all you need

[@CmwSpeedrunUk]

New here i pick mine up Tuesday thanks for your tips and advice 👍🏽

[@marko123marki]

tnx for all that info and great video of unboxing! i do have granite blx and wonder to know what shims to use to reduce wheel wobble? tnx in sub :)

[@fabriziodesantis2424]

it cames without the battery? thanks

[@ThePurpleBenchRC]

Yes, typically with cars like this, they do not include the battery. But there's a lot of cars that come direct from Asia that do include a battery; not the best quality, but it is included.

[@beaglegod1]

Just ordered one but honestly I'm a little worried about all that plastic.

[@rcfundyer5739]

Great review thanks for posting

[@edgarreyes7501]

Where’s the bind port?

[@Psalm-yg6yi]

Wow, you "just cut the tape", and it's "literally the first time you're seeing it". 😂😂😂😂

[@DavidJohnson-rb2wi]

How much is that 1/8 Typhon buggy??

[@DavidJohnson-rb2wi]

How much does it cost

[@kevinschroth.4568]

$299

[@S40TBS]

Great video 👍.

[@mr.sinister1279]

U would think as good as arrma is they would of fixed that stress the wire wil get wit that bend on the capacitors around the servo

[@smitheshn6637]

What is the size of that steering bearing?

[@mikeday62]

I can't figure this out. So this unit is neither a typhoon nor a python...or maybe it's both.

[@ThePurpleBenchRC]

Hahahaha good one!

[@99ville]

What motors are 16,17 or 20? I’m a novice trying to upgrade my speed

[@Gothenburg85]

Those are pinion gear sizes / amount of teeth. Higher count means more top speed, less acceleration, and possibly more wear/heat for the motor.

[@doggedoo1795]

Extra 3 inches aint nothing to sneeze at.

[@randyseaver8319]

Just turn the esc around and your problems are solved!!

[@TimothysakuraiTCS]

awesome just got mine, care to watch my kraton v4 review too? appreciate it!

nice review vid bro.. iv just bought one just waiting for it now! then il post a vid. iv sub you 181 if you can do the same that be great!! il keep up with ur vids then..keep up the good work.. cheers

[@simonsays3063]

It's damn near a senton. Just change the body.

[@ThePurpleBenchRC]

True, All of the 3S cars by Arrma have a ton of overlap, with a few things here and there (plus body) changing to create the different models....yet we keep buying them LOL!

[@lennchadful]

350 dollar car, 8 dollar transmitter. going to by a new transmitter tomorrow, before my car even arrives. look like junk

Great vid 👍👍 but this is not worth it at all 👎👎
