I meant 3s or 6s version but I think you answered my question indirectly with what Battey you are running. These buggies are very tough out of the box so I wouldn't change a thing tbh, at least til you run it. Here is a thread if you did want some upgrades if your so inclined.
That thread that you listed is for the 3s Typhon and he is running a 6s Typhon....
Oh, my bad. Thanks
Welcome aboard.
Holy crap digger_rc typhon is insane. LolWelcome aboard.
My personal opinion of a lot of the aluminium parts is that they can be a waste of money and detrimental to your R/c if you do crash.
I look at it this way that plastic has some give in it whereas aluminium and other metals don't so much. For example: If you hit something hard with a plastic wishbone arm it may bend for a second but then should return to shape, ...you do that with an aluminium wishbone arm and most likely it's bent (you can try straightening it afterwards but usually they're never as strong again or as straight).
There is also the ripple effect whereby you might strengthen bits of your R/c with aluminium and stop them from minor damage or breaks that you'd experienced with plastic parts but then find other things getting damaged instead as the forces travel along to the weakest link.
I crashed my Typhon at high speed into a concrete curb a few months ago during one of my speed runs (I do speed runs with mine on tarmac roads).

The damage was minimal considering the impact speed and it was repaired for a low cost, ...had I been using aluminium wishbones then replacing them would have been not so cheap.
Can't blame you though @<pAuL> if you do want a bit of bling as I've been there and done it myself but if you're hoping to run it more than make a "shelf queen" of it then I'd leave the aluminium parts, for now at least.
P.S. If you do want to see a "blinged up" Typhon for inspiration then have a look at "digger_rc" from Germany on Instagram.
Yep.
Welcome to the forum and happy reading!
Wait til you go 6s, it's a whole new beast. Just do your battery homework when going 6s as the typhon battery tray is 51mm in height and it's harder to find batteries to fit in that tight space. Enjoy your rig?
turnigy heavy duty are pretty good iv winded up busting every hard case iv owned lol but they get the job done too
