Typhon Typhon 3s blx or senton 3s blx?

[StsStorm]

Hi, im trying to decide between the typhon 3s blx or the senton 3s blx. I like how to typhon looks but i feel like its less durable than the senton with those front shocks showing but from the senton i've seen in a few videos that show the rocks get stuck on the steering link and it doesn't steer to the side until you shake the rocks off so i really don't know which one to pick between those 2, i usually run them on the street or dirt with small rocks, also which one would be better if i decided to take them to the dunes lets say.
Thanks.

My personal bias lead me to the Typhon only because I think Short Course trucks looks stupid.

-edit- Although I would really like a SCB.

I was in the same boat last week.... I went with the Typhon.... Not disappointed at all.

Does it stand the bashing?

I'm really impressed with it.

The Typhon gets rocks in the steering also. I would go Typhon over Senton.

So its normal for the rocks to get stuck, does it damage it in any way?

I'm worried about it damaging it but so far I have been able to get them out and carry on

I see, have you had any problems with the shocks or any of the parts?

My brother has broken the front shock twice. Mine has held up so far but I don't trust it. I already ordered an upgraded shock

After heavy bashing/jumps or just general use?

He isn't very good at avoiding obstacles but the shocks do seem to be a weak point on the Typhon. The Typhon will turn on a dime. It will handle much better than the Senton. It will land lighter too. The thing I never liked about the Senton is that it seems to hit hard when jumping it. The other thing about the Typhon shocks is they are not sold as a unit. You buy the parts you need for it. The repair was only $5 and 10 minutes work to fix the shocks.

I saw in a video that arrma parts for the typhon would be available mid february

 

[Krathead]

I think the granite re the same shocks

 

[Krathead]

Or maybe Senton

Yea i don't have any near local hobby shops so i need to order everything online, so i hope parts for it are released when i buy the car or even aftermarket parts for it.

 

[Krathead]

It won't take long.

 

[StsStorm]

It won't take long.

Yea i hope so, i think i made up my mind, im going for the typhon, i really like the looks of it
