Mojave The new Arrma Grom BLX Typhon and Mojave

[6pakzak]

So the pos camber is very tiny on the pass side and about around 2 degrees on the driver's and as I look at it it's pretty noticeable and if arms are same as granite and granite is fine with negative on both sides I'm thinking the problem is where it mounts to the chassis, so if I swap both lower and upper arm and hub carrier from granite and it still has all this pos camber then the issue is the chassis, maybe quality control letting things slide to pump them out

You're being a smart ass with that one sentence

And you're not having written about a thousand sentences?

Had to show some ignored content and we’re back to arguing about the special Olympics. The old slick rule, commenting about something you don’t even own is still slow on the ignition timing. (Sofa King We Todd Did)

If you don't like it don't read it, it's that simple, is that short enough?

Is this about me commenting on mini max or people making comments on new Typhon BLX Grom when they don't own it?

Got any photos? Either next to a right angle or on setup tools on a board?

To be honest it looked like both front tires had pos camber when I was first looking at it, optical illusion maybe, but it is the driver's side, can't find my camber tool but used a speed square and while touching the top of the tire it was about a little more than an 1/8 inch away from the square on the bottom, I have 3 granite groms and they are all good, not home, I'll post some later if you really want to see it

Yeah better than reading arrma is the best, Traxxas sucks, look what arrma came out with,take that Traxxas, lol

You still have a bulletproof drivetrain and well balanced/nimble handling rig. Whether or not you Earl Mooreheaded it, that’s a $300 mini RC to convert comparably from *brushed. Better than nothing, which Traxxas has available to the public currently to compete with these.

Just did this off-road with only a pinion change, weird how nothing went ablaze.

OH No hear we go . I was just pointing out that you had a bad experience with your new Arrrma . It happens make a warranty claim and get over it . This is the wrong site for Traxxas fan boys

I already said it drove pretty good but not as well as my other buggies on the track, it will be more of a basher for me for that reason and I'm it was fun to drive that way and if the combo unit holds up I'll be happy, it's not adjustable but it seems well set up out of the box and I ordered the gpm front shock tower brace cause I don't want to disassemble the whole car if I break a shock tower, and btw there is a review on you tube of the Typhon BLX and the guy breaks the shock tower during the review

Its not a track car . its a $200 basher what are you expecting for $200

It's 229.00 with a battery, my reflex was 199.00 with the battery and is excellent on the track, mini t and b are sub 200.00 and excellent on the track, IDK I would think a 4 wheel drive buggy would be pretty good on a track, many posts saying the Typhon would be great for a track as well as on you tube. That said I'm not done, I'm gonna try different tires and some horsey sauce in the rear diff and if some one makes adjustable arms for it eventually then I can really tune it in

Your done im out of hear .

It’s definitely not going to compete with an LC racing EMB-1 around a track, but with a front tower brace will certainly be a more entertaining 50+mph basher.

Are you @Battery01?

You seems very angry on each post. Who are you trying to prove anything to? Everyone is allowed to have their own opinion. Some may LIKE positive camber, (i don't know who). And you're allowed to express your DISLIKES, but geez man, relax a little. You're getting offended by other's ppl opinion. It's only an opinion, and all rigs vary a little bit. Sorry you got a poopy one. Relax bro, we aren't out to get ya. We get you don't like it. Return it already and be done. Your making this post "half empty."

I have the lc racing truggy and I have not changed a thing on it and I would say it has been the best track vehicle I ever had so not much will compete with it, I have that wl toys buggy I think 14001 and that actually is pretty good on the track, but yes the 55mph top speed for the Typhon should be pretty entertaining, definitely a good reason to keep it

I'm not angry but when someone comes at me with smart ass remarks I'm gonna reply, have you read my last few posts, you think that's angry? Did you not see that I stated that as long as the 2 in 1 system holds up I'll be happy with and just the the fact that it does 55 mph is a good reason to keep it, did you miss all that? And honestly I like trying to find a setup, it's part of the fun for me, and as long as I'm the system holds up I think it's a good value, is this angry also to you?

 

[6pakzak]

This is not an angry post but you made me laugh when you said some people may like positive camber and in my case where it's just one wheel, some people may like positive camber on just one wheel, they're out there, lol
