Typhon TLR first run🤷🏼‍♂️

[Jordan10R]

I am not a racer and know absolutely nothing except don't come in last

But tire came unglued I am running it on 4s with a 16t pinion and it seems slow. Probably study up on tires and whatever else I see.

lol I'm waiting on my typhon tlr to be delivered today but your comment had me dying after watching the video. You were all over the track and saying the car felt slow. If it was any faster you would have been making a new track LOL. I say that as someone who has never been to a track and is a total noob who only got into the hobby 2 weeks ago.

Were you light on the throttle or is the car just slow???

I thought it was all over because it's loose dirt. Never really thought it was cuz the speed.

Idk anything about racing, but it looks pretty good to me. Depending on the electronics you may be able to run a bigger pinion.

Light on it most time but that one straight away I would hammer down. It's just seem slow to me but I may be fine. Tires didn't hook up the best.

Blx 185 with spectrum 2050kv

Then that thing should rip even on 4s. And I bet that thing is a bit lighter than the other 6s trucks.

I thought it looked slow and underpowered. Especially on the long front straight. I know you're only running 4s, but what motor and ESC are you running?

 

[Moirae]

Only other video i've seen of it on a track and it looks much faster.

The TLR tuned is about 1lb lighter than the typhon 6s v5 and a little under 1lb heavier than the typhon 3s.

That is exactly what I thought. Blx185 spectrum 2050kv.

Its like it's stuck on 50 percent power. I got the hooked up to DX5C I went through all the settings.

Well, that's the problem. You have a 6s motor and ESC and running on 4s. Of course it's gonna seem slow. Now if you had a 2650kv or 2850kv motor with the BLX185 and run 4s it should be plenty fast. Don't think weight is the problem. From what I understand, the TLR Typhon weighs only slightly more than the 3s Typhon.

Really witch one of them would u go with?

You don't have a 6s Arrma so you wouldn't know but the 6s Arrmas on 4s have plenty of power. It's honestly insane how these cars do on 4s. It's true, "Built fast. Built Tough"

Set endpoints and then gear up if it still seems slow.

 

[Surchaufeur]

I have ran my 6s trucks on a bmx track and they handled really well juste the angled corners were cement but still it was really fun turning at high speeds

That's what I thought I never ran any of mine on 4s. But I bought a 4s batter just for this rig. But I put a 6s batter in it to and it wasn't much faster
I think tomorrow if not raining I going do a video of same batter 4s and 6s in the TLR and v5 typhon. So I'll find out tomorrow

Don't forget endpoints but if I do 4s on my Noto with buggy tires and a 20t pinion it flies. Un controllable

So Dumb question. What makes this better that the 6S5v? It's a 1lbs lighter but thats because its a roller . Once you add a motor ,esc and the other little ancillaries your almost at the same weight.

Idk me personally I think this is ment to get people in to racing it set up to race and the v5 and others where made to bash

 

[TriggerHappy]

Looks to me like may have to change tires and diff oil weights needs more grip in corners

 

[Jordan10R]

T

Tires for sure I put 30/60/15. In it like I said I don't know much about racing idk if I should go up more or back down in weights
