What was supposed to be a quick test with the Arrma Typhon Grom found here: bit.ly/3W3tQHq turned into an extended run. The plan was to hit the dirt lot with the Typhon Grom but this little $140 ready to run RC buggy really started to impress. After a few runs, it was necessary to try it at an indoor track, BMX track and even a skate park. In this video Greg goes over this mighty mini buggy and shows you what it can do in a variety of fun environments!

This is a good thing, but also don't forget the Team Associated 14b if you want a small buggy that can do over 30mph straight out of the box. Whilst not a basher buggy, the handling on the 14b is fantastic & it's pretty tough. Just mentioning it as I adore mine & think it's often a forgotten alternative in this end of the market.

@FarmerFpv Месяц назад

I already converted mine to the Hobbywing Quicrun 16BL30 ESC QR2445 G3 6500KV Motor Combo. It is a screamer. If you plan on running on a carpet track the 4500KV is plenty fast and perfect with foam carpet tires. I love this little buggy! I also put all the upgraded metal diff internals, metal drive shafts, and aluminum oil-filled shocks. So much fun in a small package.

@The_RC_Guru Месяц назад

Hey it looks like it’d be a great stock class

The original Typhon was my first RC car. This one is so cute! I think mine needs a baby brother.

@rcdriver Месяц назад

Nice, great RC to get started with!

@dreams2reality410 Месяц назад

I have the tlr typhon and absolutely love it. Does well on the track and fun to bash. Also, it is super durable. Just bought my 4 yr old grandson the grom, so we have matching blue buggies. Love how you can turn it down to 50% throttle. Figure it will be a perfect first rc for my grandson to learn on.

@Casitascrawlers Месяц назад

Thank you Arrma for a true RTR beginners are seeing the benefits from good technology as the world of RC advances & there has been a number of really good releases for relatively cheap. Gotta love it.

@stw9495 Месяц назад

I picked mine up this week. Its very well built, heavy even. Wish the tires had foams but thats less of a problem than the incredible heat from the motor and the dumb smart battery. I addressed these by adding a balance lead to the battery and cutting out the windshield on the body to help cool things down. As a basher its great, its over geared so its fast, and it handles rougher terrain well. On my small tight technical carpet track, I could not match my jrx2 lap times despite the grom being much much faster. It traction rolls a lot on my carpet.

@rcdriver Месяц назад

Try running a coating of CA glue on the outside wall of the front tires. Old school cheat to reduce traction roll caused by tire grip.

@stw9495 Месяц назад

I had never heard of that! I haven't attempted any tuning of it yet, I was just trying to get a feel for it box stock. I built my track for the Mini-T and JRX-2 so naturally its a little tame for the Grom. Hard to beat that JRX2. Best handling car I've ever owned.

@outabody381 Месяц назад

Just got mine and I'm liking it so far. It's perfect for little kids right out of the box. I couldn't leave it alone though. Had to put brushless in it and a faster servo..also some tires with foam. The associated 14b tires work perfectly or some smaller rally tires I found at my local shop.

@rcdriver Месяц назад

I hear that. I kind of wanted to drop a brushless in. But sometimes simpler is better, not to mention less work. So it’s staying as is… for now. 😆

@outabody381 Месяц назад

@@rcdriver totally get that.. I just have to tinker

@nielsmeer Месяц назад

Also depends on where you are running it. The indoor track at GalliMods that Greg demoed it at isn’t huge. The Typhon Grom at 100% with brushed motors is way too fast for the space literally flying over the timing loop off the jump, which is why we run it at 50% to keep it competitive. Outdoors or just bashing, brushless would be a good option and maybe at some indoor tracks that are much larger like a 1/10 size.

@alejonin Месяц назад

Yes. Two wheels drive. I have have a rustler that I upgraded from brushed motor to 3s brushless and it’s so much fun!!!!

@V8chump Месяц назад

Yea nowadays the latrax aren’t worth their money…. Ever since the boom of the scx24 (which is why everyone makes small RCs now) there’s been a ton of better options for every kind of small scale RC

@drewcas76 Месяц назад

Great video. Would love to see this vs. Reflex 14B vs Losi Mini-B (yeah, 2 wheel drive, but similar size and price point.)

@nielsmeer Месяц назад

We race the Mini T/B and the Granite/Typhon Grom at the GalliMods track in the video. It is early days for running, but so far the Mini B is faster around the track. My fastest lap on the Mini B is about 250-500ms faster than the Typhon, but I’m much more consistent with the Mini B, so in a race it will fall behind. But, I’ve only run it box stock thus far, tuning the shocks could make a big difference. It could be different at larger tracks though.

@VS666 Месяц назад

great review of a great car. i picked mine up at my local track and was very surprised at how well it handled a 10th scale clay track. there was a few other people there running the same car and had a blast racing each other

@MrBeezer84 Месяц назад

Stock grom class runs at 50% throttle. Mini B and mini T brushed stock classes also. Yes Friday nights until summer outdoor takes over the timing setup

@BeardRubEnjoyer Месяц назад

This is a fantastic budget competitor to the Relfex 14B. It drives surprisingly well for having empty tires and no center diff. Flies perfectly. Almost exactly the same size too, despite different scales.

Cool!👍🔥

@joecockerham6004 Месяц назад

My favorite rc right now.

@nielsmeer Месяц назад

That’s my local hobby shop. We race the Mini T/B and also run the Granite Grom. Though we started last week running the Typhon Grom as well since a few of us picked one up. It’s a blast. My son has the Granite Grom, but I prefer buggies, so when the Typhon dropped, I picked one up.

@n22pdf Месяц назад

Awesome.. it would be great to a series of you racing it against other groms at the track 😊 Pete

@emmanuelramirez101 27 дней назад

I’m slowly starting to move from 1/10 to smaller scale rcs. I find them more convenient because of their smaller size and durability. So I’m really considering this one or a Losi mini b

@dub2536 27 дней назад

I iust got one yesterday and enjoy it a lot. Only complaint is that it didnt come with ihstalled headlights. If it had been I woulda been fine paying extra. At $140 it is a great bargain imo. It seems easier to control without fishtailing as frequently as other similar scale trucks. IMO Arrma "knocked it outta the park" with this RC. Excellent video. TY. o7

Are these able to be binded to a different spektrum transmitter like a dx5?

It’s an SLT receiver, so it could be bound to other SLT transmitters, but a DSM transmitter like the DX5 wouldn’t work without changing the receiver and ESC.

Yikes. I was landing on throttle on purpose just to try and blow out the composite outdrives and couldn’t. The Granite is swinging bigger tires so maybe that plays a roll.

@nielsmeer Месяц назад

Lower CG, less weight and can go around a track faster with the better handling. But they can be more twitchy than a stadium truck, so not as easy to drive.
