Typhon Typhon 6s ready for truggie mode. Complete! Now it's a Hybrid!

[3x9rtse]

I just took my Typhon out of "truggified" mode ,( but left the Kraton parts so it is wider ) don't care for it in that form with the bigger tires , put stock tires back on and 16t pinion .

I run mine with the bigger tires so that I can run it on the grass, dirt and I can rotate it in the air. When I go back to running on the the pavement, I put the original wheels on. It's not about looks for me, it's about functionality.

With the bigger tires and 300k in the center diff , it is to much of a "wheelie machine " . I like to pull the throttle and have acceleration , not wheelies , while I do like when it is in the air when jumping , it can easily do back flips and can adjust fast , it is still to " touchy " for my liking . I prefer my Talion over this model as far as jumping goes . With the wider stance now and stock tires it handles really well as it is down lower now.

Well you can lower the punch setting to #1 and that dramatically lessens the wheelies on 4s. Yeah, on 6s, even on punch #1, it whrelies like a demon.

Update on my Typhon 6s. I've been having a blast with this thing. My most durable Arrma rig.

Great idea with the smaller wing. I've been running mine mostly on road, but watching your video made me want to put my MX 2.8's back on and give it a real good bashing.

I have been running these truggy tyres on my truffyfied Typhon and on 4s it's crazy.I have 60/500/30 in my diffs but might lower the centre to maybe 200 or 300 as it Shellie's like crazy with 500 in the centre.

What wheels and tires are those?

I like ‘em! Did you truggify it?

 

[martin34]

Yes I did with the kraton hubs and hexes.On 4s it's nearly as fast as my kraton on 6s.

With the 15t pinion it looks and feels like my Typhon 6s running 4s is faster than my Kraton 6s on 6s on grass.

I had to read that 3 times to get what you were saying ?

 

[Armarookie43]

OK, now that I installed the powerhobby fans and heat sink, is it time for a 19 tooth or 18 tooth pinion? Or are my Mx 28 tires going to explode? They already look like pizza cutters with the 15t pinion. Vented and gorilla taped. ?

I had sold this little guy, my friend got tired of it, so I bought it back! I can't believe how fun this thing is. Rocking a v5 body and proline trenchers 2.8 tires. I'm never selling it again

 

[Armarookie43]

In going to try out these 3.8 tires from Pro-Line tomorrow. They fit pretty well. I don't see them rubbing on the body. These came with my Mojave, but they are too big for that truck

Drop your punch setting down, if you cant get your trigger finger under control. SWB rigs just love to wheelie. Nothing new.
So basically you have a Notorious/OC chassis now, if it is truggified.

But more stable if you go back to buggie tires when ripping around on the pavement. That's what I do!

I put some well deserved upgrades on my little beast. Rear bulkhead replaced with the HR aluminum one, HR hinge pin blocks and HR shock rod end.
