ARRMA RC Car 1 8 Typhon 4X4 RTR Brushed Buggy Blue Battery and Charger Not Included ARA4206V4T1

These brushes Typhons handle so well I couldn't resist. Even without sway bars or a center differential there is something really special about these cars. They are planted and very predictable, they jump amazing, and simply don't break unless you are trying to abuse it. The newer, larger brushed motor is definitely a bit quicker than the old one so mine will stay brushed for a while, probably with one tooth larger on the pinion to get 25mph. I have another that is 3 or more years old that I put a brushless setup in and it has been flawless. These have the metal ball studs, metal pinion gears, super easy clipless body that really seals the car off from dirt which should all keep it running longer without maintenmace. This is an excellent RC for anyone. Also would be a great vehicle for a stock race class for smiles instead of the super-serious classes that keep beginners and fun-havers away. Read more

I got sick of repairing my son's Granite and decided to get this on Black Friday. I immediately upgraded to a 3s brushless system using a BLX slipper clutch gear box. I can confirm that slimmer gear box works/fits without issue. The only small issue is the chassis spine block, the piece you remove to remove the power block, is too slim and will only fit on one of the grooves and will not clamp the power block in place. I ran fine with it but I have ordered the older style chassis spine block to get a snug fit, just for peace of mind. As for durability, no issues bashing this thing pretty good on 3s. It is super fun to drive and very planted. Very rarely roll it compared to our Big Rock 3s. It is fast too on 3s, really rips. Definitely recommended, but can only speak to running on brushless drive system. Read more

Good bang for the buck, but you will want to upgrade to brushless at some point Read more

Bought for my son for Christmas and it blew the motor out in a hour . We are not rc novices and have a line up of traxxas upper models that we mod regularly. I decided to try out the cheap typhon knowing we would upgrade the electronics but I was amazed it only lasted a hour . Arma is absolute junk 10/10 won't buy anymore of the junk they sell. Read more

Great car, good speed, performance, handles great, tough truck, so much fun in all conditions Read more

This car is a great value for the money. Nice looking with a lot of performance and built well as well , seems to be easy to upgrade although I don't think it needs it. This thing tears up the track pretty well and give good battery time as well. Would Definitely Recommend This Car. Read more

For a 1/8th scale buggy this things pretty cool. Quality seems good and durability too . It handles pretty well . Speed is about 21mph not bad for a car this size brushed. Will eventually likely do a brushless upgrade. Biggest battery to fit is a 2s 5200mah hard pack lipo. Not sure bout 3s fit yet. Gotta find a nice dirt track with jumps for this buggy. Well there you have it. Read more
