Hello everyone !
So my daughter is almost 10 and she has been using RC cars since she turned 4 years old. Her 4th bday present was an ECX mini Ruckus 1/18 and turning 7 she got a mini e-revo 1/16 brushless. She said she is ready for a new bigger car but I've been looking and looking for a good match for her until I saw the new Typhon 3S coming out !!!
She is not ready for 50mph even thought she has been driving since 4. My question and reason for this post is: How fast would the Typhon 3S run with a 2S pack and stock gearing ? I am looking around 30 mph max which she can handle. Her mini e-revo currently hits 30 mph.
With this car we have room to upgrade in the future to 3S. I don't mind gearing up a little bit to match around 30mph with a 2S but not sure if a 4x4 with a 3200kV motor would handle this correctly. I like this platform to be super light and flex plastic parts which should be easy/cheap to replace or upgrade. I am pretty sure she will break stuff and that's why she had a all plastic traxxas easy to repair. I'm sure ARRMA plastic is way better and more durable. We are also ready to move on from Traxxas for her. Rustler 4x4, revo 4x4, Slash 4x4 are NOT options in my list.
Typhon 6S would be overkill for her and out of the budget. We are looking for the best $300 4x4 light basher option and this new Typhon looks promising!. She is not very into monster trucks, so Granite is out of the list. She is more truggy / buggy style. I also like the 1/8 scale of Typhon vs other 1/10 options. I think 1/8 will give her more stability and should cover better the short grass.
We drive our cars in open areas, public parks with little hills, very short grass mixed with dirt. She likes to go fast and jump on every little hill she can find
We also have small skateboard ramps. Always drive short grass areas to increase durability on parts.
I drive a Notorious, my wife drives a very smooth Team Associated RC10T4.3 , my son just turned 4 and got a Tacon Valor MT 4x4 1/14 . We are a crazy family !
Please let me know your opinions.
Thank you guys.
