1st, I Love the cut out power module cover idea for setting mesh. I was working on my Arrma 1/10 scale rigs yesterday actually and was thinking how it’s tough to judge mesh without the cover on! Its important with the composite spur gears to make sure mesh is correct and i hd to pull the cover of and readjust a few times.
2nd, I have a set of those badland 2.8 mentioned earlier in the thread. I ordered them several months ago accidentally, thinking they where the standard 2.8 non belted badlands. They are very very different tires them the normal 2.8 max in more then just there width. There much lighter duty, with thin less stiff rubber with much smaller nobs on the tire. i actually decided to use them on the Typhon 3s since there not too much bigger then buggy wheels and the added offset of the 17mm plastic center inserts gives the 3s Typhon a little bit of a Truggy effect without going to big heavy 2.8’s. They would work well on your buggy if you need another option.
3rd I was working actually on my 3 long Wheelbase arrma 3s yesterday, senton, Typhon, and big rock, it’s amazing how similar they are under the hood, they all needed minor repairs and i wanted to remove or adjust some of the unproductive mods and upgrades that have accumulated on these rigs over time. I have found they run really well for what they are, there design is efficient and effective, so well and in fact that a lot of the upgrading I did either gave less performance or decreased durability.
My bigrock, for example, used to be my go to beater truck for warming up and to figure out high crash potential jumps in new areas but it’s been sidelined with small breakages lately. i upgraded to a 4s HW ESC and hobbystar 3674 motor, 17mm hex extensions, belted DuraTrax 6 pack, 1/8 scale shocks etc.
It wasn’t much faster anyway, so I got rid of the hex extensions and installed stock 3s Typhon axles to keep there 17mm hex size, put the stock shocks back on the front and used the smaller 8th scale front shock on the rear. i got rId of the 2.8 belted 6 packs and installed smaller lighter Badlands 2.8 max’s which are the biggest tires I think these rigs can use effectively. I kept the 4s motor and ESC but put higher gearing in to adjust for the smaller tires. after replacing some of the worn parts from the old set up like servo saver and tie rods I gave it a quick test run and its diet worked and it seams Much better.
I love this build, I think your using the best configuration, LWB chassis with the typhon arms, keep the weight down and it will be a real ripper with killer looks
