We’ve reviewed the 4x4 Arrma Granite, Senton and Big Rock. You didn’t think we’d leave out a review of the ARRMA Typhon 4x4 3S BLX did you? Of course not! The Arrma Typhon 4x4 is a ⅛ off-road electric ready to run buggy. Just add four AA batteries, a LiPo pack and a charger and you have yourself a potent basher buggy. This buggy is ready to take on backyard bashing abuse, big air at the BMX track and will probably prove worthy of wheeling for fun at the local RC track. In this review, we go over some of this buggies features and show it in action. Spoiler alert… we broke it. It is really worth buying. Will it deliver the action you’re looking for? Find out in our full detail review.

Ok all these RC reviews tell me about the vehicle but none of them tell me how to buy one without the wife knowing. I'm already sold I just gotta sneak it into the house.

@chuckpg31 3 года назад

Get it used. I just got one on eBay now electronics. (Got my own set of stuff laying around) then be like “look hun I saved 200 bucks”😅

@BA-ev4cq 3 года назад

Dude i got my wife a ring for our anniversary....she asked me what i wanted. I got the 3s and the 2s. I let her drive the 2 s. Shes jealous of mine........... now were upgrading both because she has a blast! Thats how you do it ✌🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@buddahGump 3 года назад

I had to ask my wife really nice. I was surprised that it wasn't that hard to convince her.

@Lebanonjames431 3 года назад

well if you bought the car with your money then you shouldn’t worry about your wife knowing 🤷‍♂️

@TheZergSwarm 3 года назад

Just tell her it was a surplus. You literally had to spend it or lose it.

@168grhp 9 месяцев назад

Took mine to a 1/8 track yesterday and it was awesome! It was able to make the sharp turns and clear the biggest jumps, even a triple with a short run-up. Lots of crashes and cartwheels. Nothing broke!

@infinitybeyond1089 5 месяцев назад

3s is like a 3 inch d. Get an asuga slap In 8s equipment big gears and tires. Then you drive to fuck town. Hard and fast boy!!

@BUGBYTE_ 5 лет назад

I think it's awesome you do all this driving 1 handed while filming. I love your videos it got me back into rc after 20 years.

@rcdriver 5 лет назад

Thanks. I do ok with the driving, but I will admit I've driven the car into my legs a number of times. lol Welcome back to the hobby!!!

@matth9359 4 года назад

Seriously. My one handed driving is embarrassing.

@ryand4786 Год назад

Great video. I just found a brushed 550 mega , used. The guy put a brushless system in it, 21 tooth pinion. Gave me a box of upgrade parts, servo, hubs, bearings, 2 lipos, charger, my first Arrma rc, blast to drive , all for $175 . This thing hauls ass

@TheLithGH 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for the review! I bought one of these on the fly yesterday, so looking forward to getting it out on the streets, dirt, etc!

@ScottieDTV Месяц назад

Thanks Brother...Great video as usual....I think I'll pick one up...I got a GROM the other day and it's very cool...so I figured this one would be awesome also!

@CmwSpeedrunUk 4 года назад

Your video was very well explained and helped me decide on what buggy i want next thanks 😊

@troyflanagan173 4 года назад

fell in love with it beautiful inside and out and i want a 3s Battery TRUCK good suspension and Motor can't wait to buy it!!!

@qvo3426 3 года назад

Im thinking of getting one, what are your thoughts on the typhon now that you have owned one

@wingmangaming2043 3 года назад

This is going to be my first bashing buggy ever

@Mark-qv4bn 9 месяцев назад

Anything but blue. Good to see red, or orange, purple. This would be a big step up from a starter buggy. Very nice.

@GreatLakesRC 5 лет назад

You gave it a good workout! Really like this Arrma 3s line 👍👍

@fastnbashrc1630 5 лет назад

I just bought a Arrma Talion over the Typhon. I hope to get a Typhon soon as it was my #1 pick when shopping for a better RC car. I needed the ground clearance from the Talion so I pulled the trigger on it. I loved my shredder but this is a whole different ballpark and even ballgame. I did a double backflip with this thing and would have NEVER thought that was possible with my shredder not from the size but durability. I am blown away by this new experience I didn't even know I was missing out on. Go Arrma! Posting full Reviews on the Talion v4 and Shredder v2. Double BF being edited now and posted in the next hour or two.

@camillebrenes 5 лет назад

Yep go ARRMA.

@madhatter8088 4 года назад

Ordered one last night. I also ordered a Spektrum dx5e with rx, that has avc.

@tarantula-man 2 года назад

After playing around for a while with mini crawlers i think i need this for some bashing fun, thanks for this video, i wasn't sure wich one to chose between this and the big rock, i'm going for the typhon 100% now !

@PIRATE9oh4 2 года назад

Looking to do the same!

@chaddrumm6809 4 года назад

Damn it! Wish this beast came in a blue/black color scheme!!!

@carlosmartinez-ru5me 4 года назад

Just got one today. I love this rc car. Easy to drive and it's fast. I having a feeling I'm going to be driving this rc car on a regular basis. Fyi - This is my 9th rc car. All of my rc cars are in great shape (I'm fortunate to live on a golf course).

@22Phanatic 4 года назад

BJames3351 likes to give criticism but can’t take any ! A real keyboard Commando ! Tough Guy on Screen 📺 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@timsgta 4 года назад

Ok I'm so confused. For one what does a golf course have to do with how many and the condition of your RC cars and second, why is Bjames offended? I'm mean sure it seems pretty stupid to brag about a golf course, I dont see what that has to do with RC, but I'm not pitching a first like bjames...

@robertruiz5417 Год назад

That has to be a rc driver's dream

@DanBrando 29 дней назад

Don’t drive on the course. It’s ours spent that e put into maintenance on them

@Spoogitywoogums 5 лет назад

The front bumper on my Senton 4x4 broke in the exact same way, but not from the same severity of the impact. I legit think something is up with that skidplate's design

@jasonsmithsrrcfun9259 5 лет назад

Ok thank you

@firasoji304 4 года назад

So im just looking back at this video, and am wondering which one would be better for a first car, the Typhon or Senton 3s? I will mainly be driving it on (semi long) grass and dirt. thanks.

@craiglapointe5936 5 лет назад

great video

@sudsrc8261 5 лет назад

Maybe I'm too lenient but I don't really fault plastic breaks when running in January. Cold just does that to plastic. Makes it more stiff & brittle. Probably wouldn't happen nearly as likely during the warmer time of year.

@TheStressD 5 лет назад

Great review, I like your style your passion for RC cars definitely comes through. Keep up the good work!

@ronaldvargasmontero9404 5 лет назад

Arma it’s a good brand( I asking because I never have no one) great unboxing, hi from Costa Rica 🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷 and great video

@nathanz602 5 лет назад

I don't know what you're budget is, but if you are going to get a good RC get an Arrma. I have a senton 3s blx, and I only run it on 2s LiPo but it is awesome fun. If you can't afford it, get the Mega 4x4 line of Arrma RC, and later down the road you can upgrade to brushless and LiPo power.

@camillebrenes 5 лет назад

Right now its easily argued they are the best brand.

@LRCR 5 лет назад

Another great review and test run with some Bashing, Thrashing and Breakage.. Arrma's Typhon 3s BLX seems to be a True Arrma Machine gotta like that quality..✌️😎👍 HFLPRCING

@rcdriver 5 лет назад

Yup, put it through a lot. I really like the way this buggy handled.

@turboturdrc Месяц назад

love it!

@GeddyRC 2 года назад

Kinda blows my mind that this car is only $339 RTR. A Traxxas Rustler 4x4 VXL is nearly $100 more for a similar setup, _and_ the Typhon is _bigger_ than the Rustler. That is not a pro or a con (depends on what you're after), but I'm curious how Arrma got the price so low on this offering. Even comes with heatsinks and everything.. how do they offer it so cheaply?

@johnwagner4559 5 лет назад

Thanks greg! I knew after you reviewed the senton and big rock, I knew it wouldn't be long for the typhon. Its AWESOME! PERIOD. Does this thing come with a hex for the wheels?? I heard it doesn't... Strange. I wish they would've included a wheelie bar too.

@rcdriver 5 лет назад

No 17mm hex wrench included which is odd. The wing acted as a pretty good wheelie bar lol

@xxg0t3mxx 4 года назад

Just got into the hobby not long ago. Love my 2 arrma senton 4x4 brushed models I picked up but tired of breaking mine. Been through a few motors thinking of picking up one of these would this be worth picking up? Or should I grab something else open opinions welcome

@davechatelle6505 5 лет назад

Greg another great and informative video; I know that you live in New England area Connecticut where is the snow there famous for or don't you get any.

@rcdriver 5 лет назад

We've been pretty lucky this year. Only one real snow storm so far and it melted pretty quick. I'm sure we'll get a bunch of snow at some point. That's when I'll shift back to making the "Get Into RC" and "Fix My RC" video series to help new RCers.

@philgordongordon4733 3 года назад

I'm in the hobby shop now just about to grab this as my first car

@philgordongordon4733 3 года назад

@R it rips. Super quick

@slotslidershoslotcars 4 года назад

This thing rocks ! Bashing or box stock racing with my buds is really a blast . 3S is perfect. Plenty of good Power ..I had the 6S and sold it .. yea it was fast and yea it was cool... but it's too much power ..it just isn't as much fun as the 3S , that is drivable and plenty fast to launch into some big air !!! Love it!! We have 5 now .

@zqzj 3 года назад

I agree! The 3s pulls rolling wheelies. At that point, any more power is just over kill lol

@kegomania 4 года назад

maybe i have misplaced concerns but if this were to take a hard nose dive and break the front shock mount, whats the fix? doesnt look like its replaceable.

@mrtambourineman6107 2 года назад

Nice 'ROCK' Music! A little nod towards the Arrma 3s 'Big Rock' perhaps...

@lirART-id1cb 5 лет назад

Will you do a review of the new Traxxas fiesta?

@paige2732 5 лет назад

everything breaks in the cold. dosen't matter what you drive. enough jumping hurts too. I have the big rock 3s and took it out one night this month and broke a bunch of stuff and it was 15 degrees out. my losi 3xle is my go to truck right now and it broke in the cold too.

@edwardwester5968 2 года назад

That is my favorite platform from arrma the only downside is the shocks and steering servo must be replaced but it's a great 👍 RC you can't go wrong 😉

@edwardwester5968 2 года назад

@Cagsbo l use arrma typhon 6s shocks and l use eco streeing servo and servox titanium gear ⚙️ servo

@Annonymous0283745 3 года назад

so if you beat the hell out of it, you break some of the plastic parts. I can live with that.

@brianjohnson6891 4 года назад

Greg, good video, are you driving this one handed? I kept seeing your shadow and the camera stick but I only ever saw one person in those shadows. If your rocking one handed, have this kind of control and making these videos that is really impressive.

@99ville 4 года назад

I have 2 of these I want to change one to brushless for speed racing, no bashing or bmx tracks. Can I use parts from the 3s?

@SuperRccrawlers 4 года назад

Just picked one up. Going to race it this season. Ordered typhon 6s shocks, rpm control arms and aka chain link tires.

@Daisygirl915 4 года назад

I am looking at getting my son a new Arrma. Do you suggest Typhon 6s or Keaton 6S?

@troyflanagan173 4 года назад

thats the 1 i want to buy so bad Even if i have to put down payments on for Now!!

@zingzing_media 4 года назад

Which would you suggest is the best this or the senton 3s?? Was looking to buy the senton but then this beauty came swooping in haha

@matthewhalvorson9522 Год назад

Do you have a fan that you recommend as a replacement for the motor and esc for the Typhon 3s? Thanks for the epic content 💯

@cwatson42785 5 лет назад

Greg the weather definitely had something to do with those breakages. I'm guessing you wouldn't get those breakages in normal weather. I'm in the northeast and I don't jump in the winter with any rc cause no matter what rc it is it will break in the cold.

@fabianrengelink2662 5 лет назад

Nice video Greg. Not for me yet, still running the HPI Vorza. 😉😊🇳🇱

@fabianrengelink2662 5 лет назад

@DeviousRC 66😉😉👍

@camillebrenes 5 лет назад

The Vorza is twice the price, maybe you should try one out just to see what you get for the money! :)

@chg2799 4 года назад

Any problems with those plastic driveshafts breaking...?? Thinking about getting one of these and that’s the only concern I have... This will be my first Arrma...😊

@chrissue4131 5 лет назад

Stuff breaks, regardless what car you get....if you really bash them (ie have awesome fun!). I don’t know why Arrma use such small bumpers? I replaced the one on my Kraton V3 before it had its first run with one from TBone Racing. Much better. Aprt from their bumpers, I have trouble faulting Arrma

@el34glo59 4 года назад

Why doesn't the 6s have those cooling fins on the motor?

@owenmeyer2208 5 лет назад

What 3s battery do you run in this???

@lilzeus-rc5410 5 лет назад

I'm in SoCal and I can tell ya your breakages are definitely temperature related. My Typhon has taken so many hits like those and has only scars to show for it. :)

Not good right now looking for work

@RockHash 3 года назад

Cant wait till it comes in and yes I will be using 4s batteries haha

@treses_1362 3 года назад

Can it handle 4s batteries?

@RockHash 3 года назад

@@treses_1362 First you gotta change the ESC because the one that came with it can't handle 4S batteries. Anyways I did not end up doing it, I bought myself a Typhon 6S and gave this one to my nephew. Its a powerful motor and could easily burn out something so I didn't take the chance. Change other parts like pinion gears and get 3S 100C lipo batteries. He too scared to max it and I almost did but still reached 56 mph from one small upgrade.

@DanLaw2911 2 года назад

Hi I'm looking for a Typhon for my 6 year old but also for me too use :D Problem is I don't know whether I should get the 4x4 mega or just pay the extra and get the 3s and let him run it on 50%. What do you think ?

@bf1isabeast178 4 года назад

U will need to upgrade the rustler to compete with the stock typhon

@ELValenin 4 года назад

I'd say typhon. Both have pros and cons though, basically I'd choose the one you like more :)

@JMOSORT 3 года назад

To be honest typhon looks more durable i own traxxas and arrma and arrma seems more durable, in the end it is your choice of course

@DavidFernandez-sc5ws 5 лет назад

Just got into this Hobby. Got a Traxxas Slash 4x4. Great vehicle. My next will probably be Arrma though. Just need to buy new charger and batteries. 😥😥

@thatonebigboi2382 5 лет назад

David Fernandez hey dude I was wondering if u could get a connector. I was thinking the same thing

@cwatson42785 5 лет назад

Guys you don't need a new charger or batteries for that matter, just go on Ebay and they sell all the little connectors to go from traxxas to whatever you need to hook into. I have the traxxas charger and multiple connectors on different batteries and I just get the small connection adapters to go from traxxas to Dean's or with a arrma truck you would go traxxas to ec5. Just ask the sellers on Ebay and they will make sure it's the right one you need. They are cheap too and only like $3-$6. So you definitely don't need to buy new stuff. Although never buy traxxas lipos, they are way overpriced. You can also get the connectors to go from a Dean's or ec5 connector lipo to traxxas end to hook into your traxxas. Hope that helps. But yeah I made the switch to arrma trucks and never going back to traxxas.

@thatonebigboi2382 5 лет назад

Chris Watson thanks dude

@cwatson42785 5 лет назад

@@thatonebigboi2382 no problem man yeah they are all over Ebay and fairly cheap. You should buy any lipos other than traxxas like power hobby or gens ace. They have higher c ratings which gives you more burst/power. Traxxas lipos are too expensive and too low of a discharge rating. You could go with those lipos with a dean's or ec5 connector then just get a matching connector with a traxxas end to plug into the esc.
