Converting My ARRMA Typhon 4x4 Mega V3 To Brushless!!! Part 1

I'm on a quest to see what the ARRMA Typhon 4x4 Mega can handle. I picked up a $100 Hobbywing system for mine that has a Max10 ESC and EZRUN 3652 3300KV motor. It's not really rated for an 1/8 scale 4wd buggy, but I thought I'd give it a try.
I said I put in a 19t pinion, but I accidentally grabbed the 15T I had shown in the last video. Apparently I put it in the 19t spot as well. 🤦‍♂️😂
I'm curious how this slipper will hold up to the power and if I'll have to upgrade that as well. I have a spare 3s slipper from my Granite V1 that I hope will fit if something goes wrong. :)

When soldering XT connectors, plug the connector into another connector to help with heat dissipation. Also you csn twist the cups so they both face up while the connector is flat so you can solder both wires without moving the connector.

@nobodynoone3428 3 года назад

Cool vid as usual. I still think the brushless is the way to go, unless you get a free one of course. That's because in order to upgrade this Mega identical to the $320 Blx version with the 100amp esc and other upgrades, it would cost over $410 total using brand new parts.

@CCxRC 3 года назад

Right. You are coming at this from an RCers perspective. I'm coming at it from someone's perspective of buying it for their 8 year old kid for a birthday or Christmas. They've now outgrown the speed. You don' t have to drop a fresh $330. You can drop $100 and get them more speed and enjoyment out of the vehicle you bought on a whim which was still considered an expensive present for them when compared to RCs they saw at Walmart or Target (and will way outperform them). Anybody that can handle brushless and afford to drop $320 plus a charger and battery is better off with the BLX. I've written this out before. There's a reason I didn't get the same 100amp ESC and Motor....because at that point you might as well think about just getting the BLX vs. dropping over $150 on electronics. I figure this would make it fun as a bridge to their next RC car. You could do it for less if you bought something on Amazon like a GoolRC or bought a used system on Facebook marketplace.

@Bearded_SARTECH 3 года назад

First things to go will be the plastic pinions. Next will be the spur gear. Get the front and rear diff from the 3s (different ratio from the mega, so you have to do both). Next, center spur and slipper from the 3s (hard to find and expensive). Don't worry about the driveshaft center bearing. Have run 6s on MM2 with castle 1900kv, no driveshaft issues.

@CCxRC 3 года назад

These are good points, but this is the V3 version of the car that was just released. It is running the brushless ready front and rear diff and the slipper outdrives have been updated to handle brushless power. I still think upgrading the slipper to the 3s version is a good move because of the dual slipper pads and 32p gears.

@davidsamples 3 года назад

Thanks for taking the time to make this detailed video - brand new to RC and this helped with taking things apart. I do have a quick question though - I heard a weird grinding noise and a strong burning smell coming from my car about 4 days after buying it. Hope I am getting the terminology right... i opened the motor mount and saw where the spur gear and pinion gear mesh. The spur gear looked a little big chewed up in some areas and the spur gear seemed to have a lot of play - as in the shaft itself seemed a bit wobbly. It was clear that the "wobblyness" could hook up the gears or pull far enough apart that it would slip. Is it safe to say the pinion shaft should have no wobble? Any idea what would cause that? I have submitted a technical support request with Horizon Hobby but their response times are very slow. BTW - I love this truck, and while only having it for 4 days I can say I completely beat the crap out of it through dirt, gravel, mud, wood chips, etc - so I kind of assumed some things would go wrong.

@CCxRC 3 года назад

Glad it was helpful Dave. It will have wobble when apart because it is held in place when the other half of the plastic case is screwed together and holds the shaft. It does make it difficult to set the gear mesh. It's possible that dirt and other grime got in there. Some people drill/cut open a spot in the chassis below the spur gear to let the dirt that gets in fall out the bottom.

@davidsamples 3 года назад

@@CCxRC Ok - thanks for the quick reply. And yes - a lot of debris got in there, I had to keep cleaning it out. Thats a good idea about drilling the hole underneath.

@andromeda8940 3 года назад

What is your gearing? Like pinion and spur size?

@kylekallies3381 3 года назад

What are you doing with that old motor and esc?

@larrys4227 3 года назад

It will need HD input shafts. You can't set the gear mesh on these without the motor cover on. The cover sets the spur assembly so it's straight.... then trial and error to set the mesh.

@CCxRC 3 года назад

You are very right! I figured that out after the video and seeing how tight the mesh was. You can get a good idea if you really work on getting the spur sitting centered, but it needs to be tested after. Mentioned all this in the run video I did after the motor change. I still ran it briefly, because I knew when I opened it, I'd be changing to 19T pinion. A lot of these videos are shot back to back and distributed over a couple days, so I try to address things I may notice I did wrong in a previous video. I'll have a comprehensive look at moving the Mega 4x4 V3 to brushless at the end once I've figured out what I can and can't do.

@@CCxRC oh ok makes sense. Yeah lots of weak links. Needs to be locked like the 6s one is. 32 pitch will help forsure. Now was that on 2s or 3s the 37mph?

@tooleyzrc1973 2 года назад

You should have thrown the 57 tooth plastic spur gear on there

That speed control and motor combo costs more than the buggy.

it's brushed in stock?! and i use max10 4000kv in my Rustler XL-5 4x4 :D

@CCxRC 3 года назад

The one I got was the brushed version of the Typhon. They have a 3s BLX version and 6S version as well. I'm just working through what new people might go through to upgrade their brushed versions if they start with one. Max10 4000kv is nice too. I just went with what was in stock at my local Hobbytown.

Street Blue glad to hear it. It’s my first one. I usually buy castle creations combos, but wanted to keep this one more budget friendly and I’ve loved my Hobbywing Axe crawler systems

@@CCxRC btw, isn't the mesh too tight, ccxrc? the wheels. stopped too fast!? never heard about Castle Creations, at least not in Poland, are they more durable than Hobbywing or SkyRC motors/esc/combos?

@CCxRC 3 года назад

@@deltazero3796 the wheels did stop fast. Not sure I want more space than it has though. There was definitely play already between the pinion and spur. I'm not a huge fan of 48pitch gears as there is little room for error in the mesh. I don't know who had the better systems. I've just always ran Castle and like their programming software.

Im wondering will this single side slipper hold the brushless power?

@CCxRC 3 года назад

I'm going to see. I have a 3s slipper on the ready that I'm hoping will drop in if it gets obliterated.

I stripped out two spurs on my first battery through mine. Even on just 2s, is too much power for that 48 pitch gear or my car had some sort of slop/defect :(

rule of thumb is if you cant put your finger on the motor for two seconda then its too hot

@BrentTheGent1 2 года назад

Dont do it folks! i have tried several times and each and every time the plastic spur gear just cant take it and strips in no time, as in within a battery pack or two at most so unless you can find a steel spur to take the brushless power you best buy 20 spurs to change with each battery pack.

@CCxRC 2 года назад

The trick is to buy the 3s blx slipper and 32p gear. That's what I did and it worked great.

@CCxRC 3 года назад

Going to up the pinion to 19t and see what’s causing binding. The mesh looked and felt good...but maybe not.

@mark-1rc502 3 года назад

CCxRC It’s possible mesh sounded a little screechy , having experience with these arrmas Diff it’s worth popping one out to see if the diff is spinning freely around the yoke I found every one of them so far to bind causing a drag which will increase load .🤷‍♂️

@CCxRC 3 года назад

It’s that the spur gear moves around making it hard to set mesh. You have to make sure it’s centered and check it when closed. It moved the spur when the chase held the other side in place

No offense but outside of these videos I can see why some people stay away from this hobby. If you call some of these retailers they have no clue, so dam frustrating. My son's car is making a clicking noise near the rear wheels when you roll it. I think it's the motor so I had some questions about what I need to purchase and everyone has been helpless but this video has been informative but I still don't know what to get smh

It could be the rear differential. Might have to open that and see if the teeth are all still in tact
