I got tired of repairs of my Big Rock 3S BLX and when I saw the Typhon Mega for $165 shipped (also working on a Granite Mega v1 that I got for $144), I figured it would be a good opportunity to build a 2S car to see if reliability would improve. Spoiler alert, it has. After having driven a couple dozen packs during my progress, I've noticed that the public sees 28mph as "fast". I agree. 18mph out of the box for a Typhon Mega is super slow. Not just the top speed, but the acceleration is lackluster at best. Many have reported the brushed motor and/or ESC dies prematurely so I just saw my Typhon Mega as possibly a roller - no electronics. I would have to put my own in.
Running the calculations for a top speed of around 30mph for dirt track use, I selected these components and have been very happy with it. This won't be for speed runs nor skate parks but for bashing around and track racing, it's ideal as I'm more of a fan of driving the thing than repairing it or waiting for parts.
