Hey y'all.
This build thread is to document modding and bashing my new Typhon 3s. Feel free to make mod suggestions along the way. The goal of this build thread to experiment and try different things for fun. Let's start.

List of breaks so far:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the day I took the car home. I immediately took it for a run. I'm used to 2s powered 1:10 drift cars, so when I first full throttled this thing I was blown away at the speed, power, and control that it has. I ordered two more batteries shortly after this.
The next day I took it right to the beach. I wanted to try using the car on different surfaces. It just rained prior to me arriving, so wet sand was my playground for today.
Haven't had this much fun doing something RC related in years. Watching the car jump over small dunes at 30 mph and seeing all the suspension travel had me grinning ear to ear. I really should've bought a buggy years ago. But better late than never.
Took it home and cleaned it right up and drilled some holes in the body for extra airflow. Ready for the next bash.
Look at how good she cleans up. I had to take a photo before ruining the wash again.
Sliding this thing in the sand with real rubber tires is 1000% way more fun than using plastic tires to get a 1:10 scale to drift.
Annnnd it's dirty again. But look how good it looks covered in mud.
Next up I take the car to the track for the first time.
