Typhon Typhon 3s!!!

[RiderZ]

New Typhon 3s,new to Arrma equipment,not to R/C.I’m pretty impressed with what I see with this buggy.
Have‘nt run it yet as the weather is still crap here in N.Illinois.Already installed a few goodies namely the 6s shocks,HR aluminum rod end balls and an eBay chassis protector.Also got an 8000 mAh 3s battery for it.
Have been into the SC trucks (Traxxas) for the past several years running 2s only so a 3s 1/8 scale buggy is going to be pretty exiting once the weather breaks.I can’t wait!!!

Your gonna love it man. I’ve had mine a few weeks. It’s still bone stock except for an upgraded motor motor cooling fan. It will eventually be a track only buggy for racing locally though

I just threw a Robinson Raci g extra hard 18 tooth pinion in my Typhon 3S, went from 49 mph to 53 mph, and I think I can get a little more out of it. The Typhon 6s shocks look good in there, I went with the Pro-Line aluminum shocks and front and rear RPM arms.

Enjoy! I have the 6s model and it's a blast.

Waiting on a charger cable from Tower,all my other batteries I use Dean’s plugs.Think I will keep the ic5 connectors on this car.Don’t really care for the stock wheels,prefer the look of dish wheels on the 1/8 buggies.Thinking Proline Badlands on black dish wheels.

As stated I will keep the ic5 connectors on this car.
Purchased a set of Proline Badlands MX,couldn’t decide either the white or black wheels.White it is!

Finally dry enough here for a shake down run.First stab at full throttle on concrete resulted in a wheelie.Wife said I had the biggest grin on my face.
Made a few rips up and down our street to get the steering trim dialed in.I am very impressed with Arrma and the Typhon.Money well spent.
Cant wait to really wring it out to see what it is capable of and how durable it is.

I loved mine the first time I drove it but then the second outing the servo went dizzy so I warranted it out and waited till came in and took it out after having it replaced and within 2 min the motor seized up. Bought on December 24 and have only had one run on it. Was told the motors should be in store for my warranty at the end of this month. The shouldn't put out new vehicles until the have enough electronics for warranties , then worry about getting the individual parts for sale. Sorry had to get that out.

Well, replaced my Deans connectors with EC5 connectors yesterday but haven't got a chance to take it out yet to see if it runs any better. Hoping it does. Either way, I feel better knowing that I have the correct connectors on my batteries and ESC.

No good. Not up to par these days. They fail also. Not durable. They were a hot item 20 years ago. Before Lipos were around.
No one is using them any more. Upgrade them.

Yeah, I just did yesterday. Changed everything to EC5 connectors. I didn’t know that Deans connectors only carry 70 amps. Guess we learn something everyday.

I also really like my typhon 3s, insane beast.

For some reason mine came with a fan on servo AND engine. Haven't seen any other stock typhon 3s with a fan on the engine, any reason why?

Also, whoever put the stickers on the chassis at the factory is really bad at it, tons of bubbles.. : /
