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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Edit: After just 6 packs the motor grenaded its front bearing. Not a huge deal, and covered under warranty. BUT, it's backordered until February. Updating my review score to reflect this, as a hobby grade RC is useless without parts support. Edit 2: My replacement motor just shipped. Only took two months, hopefully they will stay in stock. Updating score to reflect painless warranty expirence. So, I've been out of the RC game for a few years, but with the pandemic and everything else going on, I thought it would be fun to take some christmas gift cards and put them toward a fun 'grown-up' toy. My prior experience has been with 1/10 scale Buggies, Short Course Trucks, and Stadium trucks, so I was certainly familiar with the expected running costs and work required to maintain one of these things, but I was hoping to find a vehicle where I could spend more time driving than wrenching. After browsing Amazon’s store, I came across ARRMA RC, a name I had not thought about for a very long time. When I was last active in the RC hobby, ARRMA was a brand-new, basically unknown off-brand that offered unique ‘twin-plate’ chassis vehicles featuring a bottom loading battery tray. It seems they’ve really taken off, and were acquired by Horizon Hobby at somewhere along the line. Interestingly enough, they’ve positioned themselves as a slightly more ‘hardcore’ alternative to TRAXXAS, but with marketing that implies a similarly strong tolerance for abuse. Initial Impressions: Pros: Came in a box in a box in another box, meaning no damage. Not sure I needed this many boxes, but I guess with some creativity and duct tape I could make a nice little cardboard ramp (Not that it would do much for a ⅛ buggy) Vehicle seems setup well from the factory, although I did increase the rear preload with the included shock shims, to reduce the chances of it squatting into the ground on a hard launch. The battery tie down straps are nice, and the tethered body clips are a great little touch. Cons: This is really nitpicky, but it had quite the smell to it when I unboxed it. I opened a window to help diffuse the scent, but I don’t recall any other RC car I ever purchased being so aromatic. The EC5 connectors used are not the most common, you may need to solder IC5 connectors to your battery and charger leads to get running. Not a big deal, but be aware. Driving: Well. Running a 6Ah 80C 3S lipo in this thing...it’s fast. Like, I’m hesitant to go full throttle for fear of hitting something at 50mph fast. The vehicle handles very well out of the box, although there is a little front toe out that I may neutralize to improve straight line tracking. The powertrain is more than enough for anybody just bashing around, and I’m excited to get this thing to a track (or at the very least an empty skate park) and see how it handles more aerobatic driving. The steering servo is plenty torquey while offering sufficient speed. And the radio transmitter/receiver combo offers plenty of range. ARRMA has done a solid job of ensuring that this mid-range RTR vehicle has no glaring flaws out of the box, and I really appreciate that, especially at the $320 price point I paid. Accessories/Transmitter: The included Spektrum transmitter is...fine. I think I like it slightly less than my older DX2s that used to come with Horizon products. It works very well, just feels a bit light and cheap, and the all black color scheme is uninspired. However, I’m really nitpicking this thing. Long Term Durability: I cannot really comment on this aspect yet, but if you don’t hit any walls or curbs at 50mph, I don’t think this vehicle is gonna break. Other user’s experience seems to support my initial assumptions. It feels tough, and a glance over the chassis didn’t show any glaring design flaws. Conclusion: This is a fantastic ‘second’ or beyond vehicle for the RC hobbyist. I hesitate to recommend it to a newbie, for two main reasons: You need to purchase a Lithium battery charger and battery (ies) and you may be required to solder IC5 connectors to both to get running. This thing is really really fast even at the 50% throttle setting. If these two points don’t scare you, this vehicle is fantastic fun for the money, and I look forward to many charge and discharge cycles. For the price, I’m very very pleased. 4.8*/5.

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.

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 !
