how fast is it on stock gearing

 

[N.Mango]

Usually the fast ones are already stretched out

All depends on how you run it.
Shorter will be more agile, while longer will be more stable at speed going straight.
Thats how I see it anyway

I love the 6s Typhon in it’s stock configuration.

Longer more stable at speed or in the rough, less wheelies, wider turning radius. Some platforms, longer means heavier and more likely to snap a chassis - don't think this applies to the 6s, but it does to the 3/4s.
Shorter more agile, easier to wheelie, tendency to be twitchier at speed or thrown around in the bumps more.

There’s a million street bodies out there for Typhons. Infraction front bumper mount setup, Limitless towers and shocks. That will allow GT style bodies as well as bugs and stuff. No need to stretch it. In fact, there are fewer bodies available for 360mm cars.

Check out Delta Plastics. Here are the 1/8 bodies that will fit a stock Typhon.

Also, pretty much any street body made for the Traxxas Slash will fit too, same wheelbase.

Holy smokes that Typhon Beetle looks good.
I guess I should need to be on the look-out for a Typhon roller!

I can’t imagine why that would happen. Are you still using the stock Typhon body with the single front post that comes up from the top steering plate? You need to investigate that and find out why. That won’t even make contact in a crash. Weird.

Thanks! That is my old ROTM car. It’s getting pretty shagged at this point and will see a refresh soon. I do love those Bug bodies!

All I have is the 3s but I can't see any reason to stretch one, which is atypical for me. I can be too snappy on steering and longer wheelbase help smooth out my driving. I actually like the slightly shorter wheelbase of the vorteks, and it's stock tires.
