Typhon My V5 “Lil Bitty”

[GaryC]

Yes it is. Stretched with a Kraton chassis as well and Limitless front tower and shocks.

Nice!

Well boys I’m goin semi-beef
Ordered up some M2c beef cakes
Front/rear shock towers
Shock standoffs fr/rr
Front/rear hinge pin kits

I figured these durability parts should get ordered up in lieu of getting truggified. Honestly comparing to my tekno, the arrma hinge pin design is flimsy. This upgrade pack is bringing the arrma up to par and besides my front shock tower is tweaked slightly. I would have loved to order a chassis but I’m sure that bridge will be crossed eventually

A wild Typhon in its natural habitat. He seems to have lost its wing, whilst out enjoying some airtime!

Well holding out to buy the parts needed for the truggification has failed. They are en route from Jenny’s. Hubs,hexes,driveshafts. Ordering the complete driveshaft set was easiest and cheapest route. The stubs themselves where insane cost and even higher shipping. Much excite

When I ordered off Jenny's rc this is what it came with. Same thing was cheaper to just order it with the drive shafts altogether

No doubt arrma sure wasn’t cheap on the loctite application. I’ve had them off servicing wheel bearings

Clipped on the nhx fans and installed new wing mount today! These fans blow some serious air! A quality looking piece! Running grass at high speeds I can hit 175°f on the can, so this should help run times I bought 4, 40x28 fans that I’m hoping I’ll get to fit on the esc.

I am worried about the fan jamming up against the Center diff top plate. What’s the purpose of the tubes running lengthwise on top? I’m thinking of hacking the interfering one off

Ups delivered some delicious beef today \m/. Had a long 24hr shift sitting at the duty desk so I installed the parts. Just need to drill the towers for the 4mm standoffs when I get the chance. These parts look absolutely amazing. Fit and finish was top shelf! And buttery smooth dampening. Still need to go to a thicker shock oil. And I would like stiffer springs to hold the 6s bricks up

Man I sure can’t keep tires on this rocket!
took the typhon out to grassy mcbash hill. Got about 3/4 through the pack and blew another tire. Luckily I’ll be able to glue it again. I’m going to order belted mx28s tonight.
I gave the buggy a couple hard pulls across the soccer field to test out the fans capacity. It was 17°c out. Last time my motor hit 175°F. Today my can hit 130°f. Now that was after idling back to the car with a blown tire. So maybe add ten post heat cycle. Pretty darn happy with the results the fans provided. I hooked them up to an open port in the receiver. Thinking I might power fans off a castle bec

Typhon jousting! Haha
Had a good bash day. Broke a rear shock rod end and scraped up the shiny front tower a bit sliding across pavement :/

I need to make a grass shield for the fans. I might print something up

 

[Guy on a Moose]

Ordered a bunch of spare plastics(rod ends/balls/ spring retainer caps) Ackerman plate, 500k oil and finally belted mx28s with a set of 17mm hex adapters! \m/

 

[Guy on a Moose]

Wow Jenny’s rc really pulled through. Super stoked they shipped to Canada quick and no issues I’ll have to find some time to slap these goodies on. Tires and some spare parts should also be arriving today. \m/

Truggified \m/

This thing moving 100mph standin still

Awesome!! Where are you in Canada?

Thanks! I’m in New Brunswick
Wow! Simply just wow! The conversion is amazing! Rc car bliss. Seriously the best rc driving experience I’ve had! It’s incredible! Air control and performance is perfect for this set up! I definitely have to gear down again from 18t as I had to take a break halfway through! Never thermaled I just stopped for a bit! The perfect grass blaster imo

I need a go pro

 

[Guy on a Moose]

Absolutely love this car!!! Couldn’t be happier with how this this unit darts across grass! It’s a total land missile! Running 17/50 temps for 4 runs now have been 130f 18/50 on the hot day was to much for a full pack blast. Did I mention I love this beast?!!!

Won’t be disappointed

Alright guys had my first run ending break after 31 packs I had to carry it home! I broke a proline hex adapter the car lives to play again!!!

does proline make a narrower offset hex adapter for 6x30 17mm hex? I’m not seeing anything. I don’t want to drop the coin on the metal ones. The hex saved my arms and who know what else. I’ll order a couple sets to keep in the bag! I just wish we could have a narrow option as it would be stronger and I think would be perfect for this rig!
Edit: I found it! 6x30 17mm proline# 6355-00 for short course! Grr! Got 2 set of narrow and a set of mt
