Few additions to the set-up. New RC6GS V2 rx/tx 32t pinion, 29t spool gear and some new Jim's bearings on the way. New PBs coming for sure! Hoping to push close to 130mph 😱 with the stock spektrum motor on 6s.

New hub bearings from Jim's installed today and had to go with the 32/29 gearing as 30/29 wouldn't mesh tight enough in the stock mount. Next runs should be quite the jump for the PB 🤘

New 114mph PB today but not the best runs, she didn't want to stay straight so held me back. Still a lot more in her so should be more PB's to come on the stock motor before I go to the new TP motor👍 be all day to edit video and slow internet to get it on YouTube but video coming soon!

This beauty came in today for the Typhon GT 😍 TP 4050 2100kv motor🤘 Still going to try and break 120mph on the spektrum 2050kv on 6s before putting this bad boy in and maybe gearing down for some 8s 😱 think I will probably see what it does on 6s first though but can't wait! Now weather needs to get less manic so I can run a bit more often damnit!!

Well for now this is the retirement runs for the Typhon GT, first ever and possibly last ever 8s passes. TP 4050 2100kv running 8s with a PB of 125mph🤘
Typhon got a makeover today back to it's buggy form. Leaving the TP 4050 in, DumboRC rx/tx, center diff installed now just waiting on the servo and ESC and she'll be ready for the track😎

Well if you know me you know I'm not patient enough to wait for the ESC and servo😂 so I took the ESC that was originally in the Typhon from the TyphCast as it's down with a broken A arm anyways and nabbed the Jx ecoboost servo as well. She is back to a screaming banshee buggy to say the least🤘 and man does that servo make it turn on a dime😍

Alright got the new v5 Typhon out for a maiden bash around the property today. Ran it a little bit all stock in the front yard but just to get the feel. With diff fluids changed and 18t pinion it definitely gave it some more pep and way better handling ? anyways here's the maiden run on my property ?
Wish my Kraton turned like that :(
Maybe changing the diff oil will help?

A buggy is tempting with that handling.
 
Smart man. Gotta always check those new diffs.
Leave nothing to chance on these NRTR's.:LOL:

Edit:
To me its obvious that they fill these diffs too fast during assembly. If they filled them properly, it would take them too long and slow down their "fast assy" process.
Or they are just saving money by not filling them up.
Or the just want us to brick these diffs and guaranty more purchased parts from us.
Or maybe all of the above. ;)
Definitely a pattern here.

Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for Sharing. I allways check Any rtr Rc ☺️ Especially an Arrma lol.
 
I gotta ask what wing is that??
Lol it's the Kraton 6s wing but the bottom center part was broken so I trimmed it so it fits perfectly between the rear shocks. I like how it looks and it's wider for more protection in the rear👍

Actually they've held up so far!! Haven't ran them on pavement but I've put them through some hell on grass and dirt and still holding up, not even coming unglued after 3 runs🤷
A lot of cheap ‘AliExpress’ tires are pretty much better then stock, or the non MFT louise tires. If you look at the Reviews on alie, mostly you buy a solid product if its reviewed ok. The DBoots ‘brand’ is just a fancy Made up name bij Arrma for super cheap China tires for a super high price ☺️

I'm liking the look of it. Does it sit lower than the stock wing and? Guessing since you trimmed it, you're using the stock typhon wing mount right?

More pictures if you can please :)

Yes it's mounted on the Typhon mount, I think it sits a bit lower than the stock wing here's a few more pics, also here's the Typhon wing on my K6s and it seems to sit higher for sure 👍

Thanks man. Looks good and great build
Thanks! Definitely a bada$$ buggy for sure! Also not sure many people can say their track buggy has done 125mph speed running before going back to an off-road buggy👍
