Added billet GPM upgrades and new tires. May have fixed the slop issue with steering assembly.. 🤷🏾♂️… will find out More vids to come Stay tuned.. Any questions, leave in comments, I will try my best to respond Thanks,
I'm watching your videos again and I hope that arrma will make a slipper clutch for the typhon grom and granite grom that would help for stripping the differential 😊
Thanks for sharing all this valuable information. I have been shopping for Typhon Grom parts and this really helps. It just seems like the Granite Grom is better supported right now but the Typhon will probably catch up as more people buy them. I really like the tires you used for the street and I ordered some. I also ordered some Granite Grom tires to try offroad as I had no idea what other wider tires would work. It's a really cool 1/18 scale.
Glad it was helpful! All granite grom suspension parts fit the typhon. Only thing that don’t fit is the drive shaft and the drive shaft cover because its longer but other than , everything else fits. Thanks for watching. ✌🏾
I have the upgraded arrma diffs, and the GPS diff covers, the front diff cover had to have the center cut out to fit flush, the rear was no problems, front and rear arms fit well as well as the HR axle shafts. I have no binding what so ever!
Hey dude, the diffs are all the same. I got metal diffs to fit no problem, it’s tighter fit so you got to spin center axle while pushing diff in, plastic stock diff cover snaps on and stock shocks still work…. Metal diffs with 3000cc oil work great for street speed runs, I also installed shaft and hex mod kit for axles to wheels.. just need good speed run tires…. And I’m all set
Hey man good video and I have a typhon grom i just bought a few days ago and I want to upgrade my buggy also but I'm going to wait until they come out with adjustable turn buckles so I can fine tune the suspension so it will handle better 😊👍
you dont have to wait.. they have some available for other 1/14 scale cars that will fit.. you just need to do some small modifications to get them to fit.. I did it and they work. I will do a vid soon..
Can you elaborate more on the steering part I didn’t quite understand it. What’s a billet sorry I’m new to this hobby. I also want to remove the sloppiness from the steering. Thanks.
Yea, i took the pins from the upper a-arms and switched them with the pins that are on the steering assembly.. they are a little longer but still allow you to put the drive shaft cover on. The slop is in the pins. If you can get the pins in the steering to be tighter, it will remove the slop. Give it a try.
All of the billet upgrades are from ebay. You have to search for arrma granite grom billet upgrades, & boom all types of parts and sellers pop up and you just shop around. Thats what i did. No specific site unfortunately.
You should have waited for the suspension arms because I think they will have some with adjustable turnbuckles so you can adjust your camber that's what I want 😎👍
Its all good bro. Ima buy one more once the unpainted bodies release and do a green version and use them then. Hopefully the nascar groms make them rush some other parts that will fit the typhon as well
i been super busy bro, sorry your diffs broke. i just understand why at 30+mph they broke?. so far mine are the original ones (not metal or upgraded ones) and they still alive lol. maybe it was the batch of the thyphons or granites groms, thank you for sharing !!!!!
Lmao, I don’t know bro. I’m not a hard basher on any of my rigs I just think I got defective diffs. I dont know. For sure the diff are not designed for highspeed they will eventually break. Its only a matter of time and throttle squeeze. You jam the throttle from a dead stop, they will break with the power these motors putting out for sure. Seeing your vids lets me know high speeds are possible, i just need a spot to run them.
So there’s only one kind of deaths and they are common between both of the Grom vehicles Absolutely larger tires blew both of my diffs in 20 minutes of bashing

If you have the same setup, and your esc is mounted on the receiver, you will need to add loosen the front latch so it will allow you to raise the body and it still closed.
