My Badland MX's lasted around 3-5 minutes from new before the came unglued...? I think @Mongoose had the same issue although he was lucky enough to get a warranty replacement set..!!
Well I guess I better inspect and glue them before running them ?
I had inspected mine before running ? I don't think they are rated for 6s to be honest..?
Visually, I prefer the original typhon 6 ?
These are the ones I got...
Anything I got is yours brother

That's some good advice right there. My first run will be this afternoon and I already have the stretch of road planned out. My ambition is to just be faster than the time before, and right now, that's 60 mph. I don't think triple digits will ever be my goal, as the area needed to achieve it, and the radio I trust to control it, are currently out of my reach. I just hope those cheap Amazon tires that are on it now, don't explode
Tbh I still don't use a cap pack on my Typhon although I do plan on it eventually, ...for now though I just try to be as slow/progressive with my trigger finger pull to try to lessen draw.
I do use a cap pack on my Limitless though.
@Notorious J Hope you enjoy the speed runs. Keep us updated and forget what speeds everyone else is doing, ...just keep on having fun & beating your own PB's. It's more fun I find that way.
Yeah could be sketchy.
So two incredibly bad things happened yesterday. At my first location, sure enough I lost the signal. Thankfully I was just motoring out to my turn around point, but enough speed that it smacked into a curb then rolled a few times. Total damage, one cracked rim. Changed the tire and went to another spot where I do speed runs. Everything is going fine until my final pass where I'm trying to get the Typhon whizzing by me on video. The rear tire explodes open 15 feet from me, and sends the buggy right into my foot. This was after many 70+ mph passes, but the lesson was learned. S5's on the way, hopefully before the weather turns crappy hear. 79 mph top speed, but I know it can do more in a longer area.Yeah could be sketchy.
If you can get some GRP's on it that would be best imho and they're not very expensive either. My first set of GRP S3's lasted me 12 months doing speed runs before I retired them, ...$40 US (£30 UK) for tyres that lasted a year is good value I'd wager in anyone's book.
I'm okay but.................Hope you're okay and the lesson wasn't too painful to learn.
