Typhon Typhon 3s

[Donovan122]

So I was taking apart my Typhon to clean it up before I install some upgrades, and noticed this. Is this normal? I only drive on street or short grass. Haven’t jumped this at all as I’ve only had it for 2 weeks.

It happens, not frequently but does.

It happens not because of jumps, but because of flipping upside down and slamming hard on the wing/shock tower, the motor is pulled away from the chassis and the motor mount have no bracing for this direction of impact, they have a top screw that helps impact on the other direction.

The other cars like the senton have body that takes impact like this, but the Typhon does not.

Check if the spur is ok after this. and replace the motor mount.

Not really, the HR one i think is the same strength as stock, but i might be wrong

stock or hr for looks!

I own both the HR and Arrma adjustable motor mounts and both have bent on me. @Surchaufeur who made the 7075 mount? I’m not remembering at the moment

Have the same issue but there is currently no spare part available in my region. Is there a easy to prevent it with some hand work?
