ARRMA 1/8 Typhon 4X4 V3 3S BLX Brushless Buggy RC Truck RTR (Transmitter and Receiver Included, Batteries and Charger Required), Red, ARA4306V3, Unisex Adult

Awesome buggy very fast. Handles great if the front end is aligned correctly. Can take a beating. Unless you run into a parked truck tire full throttle. But it still drove. Frame broken in half. That was the only thing it broke.when I pulled it out.i figured was time to start over. But everything worked. Just broke the frame. Had to be doing 50+ mph. Switched everything over to a new chassis. Back to bashing.

The Typhon is amazing. Floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee. Seriously, it is very rugged and it is very fast for a 3S. I typically keep it set to 50% for my boys and for me 75%. At 100% throttle it has way too much power to control. Seriously, 100% throttle is fishtailing it launches so hard and will easily go 50 mph in a few seconds. 100% throttle is manageable in the grass, but still way more than your average person needs. In addition, the quality is top notch. Built like a $500+ car. Fan on the ESC and motor. Solid and thick plastic all around. The suspension is perfectly tuned, and the wait balance lets if fly like a bird. Don't hesitate, buy this. You will not regret it. I paired mine with a pair of Zeee 3S Lipo Battery 7200mAh and fireproof storage pouch. Using a Gens Ace Lipo Battery Charger IMARS D300 G-Tech Series Smart Dual Lipo Charger. Have fun!

Ok, I wanted to wait and give this rc a really good test before reviewing. I used to race rc trucks and cars in competitions but now just for hobbies due to moving away from areas that hold comps. Heres my thoughts and experiences. 1. Very sturdy. I have put this rc through hell and back with high speed jumps and crashes, tons of rollovers, and Ling extended periods of run times. I have yet to break any thing. 2. The reviews are correct. After reading almost every one of them, I decided to give this rc a good try. Almost every review stating the goods have proven correct for me. I'm sure not every car is manufactured perfect and I'm sure not every crash is the same, and I am sure it's not break proof, but I am sure this guy takes a beating and keeps going. 3. The price point is amazing. I bought 2 logos for 80 bucks so a total of 400 and I got a rc better than the 800 dollar rcs at the local store. Summary: highly recommend for beginners, novice, and experienced.

Well it's been about 6 months and I've put this thing through it's paces. It's held up to some punishment. The only real damage has been to the motor mount which bent from my giant 4076, 2050 kv brushless motor I installed. Came down hard and the weight of the motor bent the mount and cracked the plastic chassis. Fixed it up with a hammer to flatter it back out. Epoxy for the cracked chassis did the trick. -here's a little trick..add a few drops of acetone(fingernail polish remover) to your two-part epoxy to give it a little bit of malleability. I've found two-part epoxy to be very brittle but doing this gives it some flexibility and prevens it from cracking. Anyway, I love my Typhon. The handing is right up front and she turns sharp on the corners. These 2300kv BLX motors are TOUGH! I've been running two of these on 4s and they are doing just fine. I don't really do any speed runs but I wouldn't be afraid to do so. This car SOARS! It flies through the air clean and mean. Stays level and lands on a cushion of pillows. If something ever happened to this car or it got stolen, I'd definitely get another but I'm prone to venture into the 6s range. But this the Typhon 3s BLX has NOT disappointed. It's a great great car for an amazing price.

I've wanted a high quality RC car for a long time, and finally decided to bite the bullet and shell out the cash for a good one. I was a little hesitant spending $450+ on the car+batteries+charger. After much research it, it seemed that this car was the obvious choice. So I bought it. This thing totally lives up to my expectations. It's unbelievably fast. It's all waterproof (except the battery of course) so you can just rinse it off when you're done driving it through the grass and snow. The tires are a good hybrid for on-road and off-road driving. But the best part is this thing's durability. I've used plastic folding tables as ramps to propel it into the air over and over, sometimes landing one one wheel and doing a cartwheel, and it didn't get damaged at all. The bottom is scratched up from slapping against pavement, and I even managed to take a chip out of it somehow, but this thing is tough as nails. The only thing I've broken is the wing- I had to drive it over a snow bank at full speed, sending it flying into the air only to land on its wing, digging the corner of it into the ground and snapping part of it off. $11 for a replacement wing from my local hobby store and I was set! Would definitely buy again. Almost wish I got the 6s version, but I think that one weighs more, so it's not really much better.

This was a gift for my brother who loves racing RC cars. We are very happy with the Arrma brand. The Typhon has some good speed to it and it does fairly well climbing. I like that all the parts are interchangeable with the Granite 3S. The remote is easy to use.

Cons - 1. The radio range was terrible. So bad I couldn’t even reach top speed because the radio signal would cut out first. It could go maybe 100 feet. It wasn’t user error. I’ve been in the hobby for 20 years and have 15 vehicles currently, probably a hundred in my lifetime. I tried different batteries, re-binding, checked all connections. I ended up just using another radio I had instead of trying to deal with warranty. So that was little disappointing. After doing some research on the internet it’s not unheard of for these radios. 2. Also the servo died on me for no apparent reason. It just quit working. 3. Transmission module gets full of dirt. The whole pinion/spur area was covered in dirt when I took it apart to replace the rear diff. 4. The rear diff stripped out. The ring gear on the rear diff. Got a replacement on eBay for pretty cheap. Pros - Fast. This thing seriously rips on 3s. It jumps nice and has good air control. It’s Awesome looking. Stock tires are surprisingly good. Overall I definitely recommend. People always say the Arrma 3s line is bullet proof and it hasn’t exactly been that for me but it’s still really good and fun.

This car is amazing for people still new to the job y but with a little experience, maybe you already have a beginner car say a short course truck or 1/10th buggy, and you want something a bit more powerful and abusive. Quality control is very good, havent found a single loose bolt or nut on the car and ive stripped it down to a bare chassis with no diffs, and back together! Car is fast but extremely controllable, both on the street and in the grass. Only gripe i have with it is the non sealed power module. This thing is a huge pain to take off, the plastic against plastic with no grease is incredibly tough to move, and feels like you may break something, and the spur gear is completely open to any dust and grime that finds its way in. I recommend taking the power module out before you run it even once, putting some kind of foam or tape around the bottom so dust cant get in, and putting grease around where the module slides in. Other than the mediocre design of the power module, this car is almost perfect!

Der Arrma Typhon 3s.... Zu aller erst, für das Geld ist er wirklich ein klasse Auto!!! (359€) Ich benutze ihn hauptsächlich für Strecke. Ich hatte noch kein Modell, dass sich so einfach zerlegen/reparieren und reinigen ließ, wie dieser Arrma. Wer ihn gut pflegt, wird auch lange was davon haben! Zum Upgraden gibts: Habe zusätzlich ein 20T Motorzahnrad (Top speed 95kmh) und einen extra Motorlüfter 3x3cm verbaut. Mittlerweile habe ich das HZ aus Metall eingebaut...(30€)(etwas lauter aber ok) Und ein günstiges 20kg servo... Wheelibar ist ein muss für Strecke. Gut: -viele Kunststoffteile verbaut, spart viel Gewicht. -super Aerodynamik und Kurvenverhalten durch die Dämpfer! -sehr viel Fahrspaß/ besser als so manche 6s Modelle.(meine Meinung) Ein Buggy, der instand Wheelis macht!!! Schlecht: -Das Servo gab nach ca. 10 Akku Fahrten keine Reaktion mehr von sich. (Wurde durch ein 20kg Servo ersetzt.)(15€) -Für manche Ersatzteile muss man lange suchen oder warten bis sie wieder lieferbar sind.(4-8Wochen) -Kunststoff HZ leichte Abnutzung(normal) -Kunststoff Trieblinge(In Gear) lösen sich relativ schnell auf bei einem 20T MZ(gibt es aber auch aus Metall) Bin im großen und ganzen sehr zufrieden und empfehle ihn jedem Neueinsteiger aber auch Fortgeschrittenen! Viel Spaß :)

I gave this RC car to my soon on his14th birthday. I thought the other smaller and slower cars would have been boring for his age. He absolutely loves it, although we can’t run it for long (10min tops) as the car stops completely. We suspect it is overheating… not entirely sure. We are trying to figure it out. But it is lots of fun

Great buggy to bash around with or race

Unbelievably fast ! , amazing buggy it really is. I do question the RTR statement though. It's ready to run if you have a battery that fits with the correct connector. Batteries not included......😌. It's an ic5 connector by the way for anyone who like me was struggling to find out if their xt60 might fit , but honestly don't let the battery put you off though but this beast of a buggy will blow your mind. I didn't think battery power could produce speeds like it does.....Impulse buy this ......I did and I'm so glad I did !
