sammy99 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Looking to get an arrma for something fast and versatile! Recently came across YouTube videos of people reaching crazy speeds! I would be happy with something 50-70mph on road, but have the versatility to go off road with a tyre change. I'm new to the hobby so dnt be harsh on me lol But all input welcome. Thanks 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajadre Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 alot of arrma speedsters are aimed mainly onroad and light offroad gravel sammy id go down the 1/8th buggy route personally 6s esc motor combo gear it up for onroad then swop out to offroad buggy wheel tyres and should be sweet offroad and longer grass 👍 with brushless power nowadays speed isnt really a problem most can do 50mph+ stock on 6s setups, then gear up 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammy99 Posted October 22, 2022 Author Share Posted October 22, 2022 Thankyou Stormbringer! I'll have a look into those this evening. I just took a liking to arrma because of the amount of people who have them youtube. Lots of how to videos and upgrade videos to watch and learn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m4inbrain Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 (edited) @sammy99 There's a mint Typhon 6s for sale in the Sale section, cough (like new, and could come with an additional set of decent road wheels depending on what is agreed on). Have a look, and if you fancy, throw me a PM if interested. Just thought i throw that out there.

Great thanks again, the only bit of off roading I'd be doing would be jumping my sons bmx ramp in the local park lol As a single mum it's a great way to spend time with him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
