Typhon Pre-first run out advice (3S)

[Chrizh]

My Typhon 3S arrived today. Did a quick unboxing if anyone is interested.

Anyway, reading a few recent posts on here, seems people are snapping the arms quite easily. I know someone here in the UK breaking three units down for parts so I think I'll tap him up for spares right away. Is it worthwhile soaking them in WD40 overnight to soften them up so they are not so brittle?

I'm new to Arrma, is there any known Arrma quirks I need to know about their RTR out of the box? Things worth checking before running out for first time?

Any tips or advice greatly appreciated

I don't see how soaking parts can hurt. I'm doing all my stock replacement plastic stuff in wd-40 now.

Been launching mine and running it pretty hard on 3S and all is well. Just don’t run into stuff. Prevents breakage. Lol.

@Chrizh I'm envious! I would so love to get one of those. If my current contract gets a decent renewal then I will commence plans to sneak one past the leader of the opposition with haste!

So...I kinda DIY jobbed a skid plate from foam board, Duck tape and plastic covering ?

Its light so hopefully doesn't interfere.

A-arms but those will be tough to find. Maybe a rebuild kit for your shocks if you are still running the stock ones. And the perch/shaft. Spur gear because you never know. Turnbuckle rod ends and pivot balls because they wear.
