Save a few pennies by not getting the Outlaw, but the 3s. 😛 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy20xe Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 So has anybody used any different bodies on a typhon. Can never leave stuff with standard bodies for some reason!! Was thinking of turning it into a baja bug ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Real talk now. Are these as good as people say? Im after something to hoon about with my Mrs Rustler 4x4, as well my Xmaxx isnt really comparable. Obvious choice for me is a Rustler 2wd VXL. I know what Im getting and I love then to be fair. That said, theyre very expensive for what they are. For an extra tenner I can get one of these, which is 4WD, has a better servo and isnt nearly 3 decades old. My Initial opinion of Arrma isnt massive due to my EXB, which ill sell to fund this? Just dont want to make another Arrma mistake? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaseUK Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Any recommendations for an alternative all-terrain tyre/wheels for a Typhon 3S BLX? I've been looking around tonight but a lot seem to be out of stock 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're 3s buggies, they're not particularly fast (42mph, there abouts), there's a lot of plastic on them (not a downside to me). I haven't broken anything on mine yet (zero), but i'm not sending it to the moon either. That said: get the Rustler. It saves everyone the frustration (including you) if thinks don't go as expected.

I've been looking around tonight but a lot seem to be out of stock 😞 I'm running Duratrax Lockup C2 at the moment, bought on a bit of a whim (had to order some stuff from Amain and just chucked them in) - i'm incredibly impressed. They're absolutely amazing. Fair point, i'm not running them on my 3s - i'm running them on my 6s (i would run them on the 3s too but only got one set at the moment), but if they work great on the 6s, they can't do worse on the 3s. I'd absolutely suggest those to anyone. Edited April 16, 2021 by m4inbrain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaseUK Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Also as I quite often use it on tarmac, what would be a good choice of tyre/wheels then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duratrax Bandito C2, the other set i've bought. They have so much grip, to the point where i'm scared that i'll bend my driveshafts. I can't tell you how long they're gonna last (mine are still new, basically), but man do they grip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so (edit: don't think so they're the same, not don't think so worth trying - at that price there's no harm in trying obviously). https://www.modelsport.co.uk/duratrax-lockup-buggy-tire-c2-mounted-spoke-black-2-/rc-car-products/442057 No way they sell them at less than half the price if it's the identical tyre. At least i'd be very surprised. The dimensions are also not entirely equal (they're 1mm narrower, but 1mm larger in diameter). But that's going by descriptions in shops (Duratrax 117/43, Fastrax 118/42), so no idea there. They also don't specify a compound, the Duratrax comes in different ones.

AJB RACING Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Hi guy's apologies for any stupid questions as I'm a complete noob to the Arrma range and never owned a buggy style. I was wondering could you give me some advice on the best 3s lipos for this buggy. I'd also appreciate any advice on any other upgrades etc before I purchase.? I'll probably use modelsport, however they give you an option to pick a pro package upgrade however as I have a good charger I really only need a few lipos and thought it best to ask you guys before buying. Thank you AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
