Yep - it is official. This is the BEST way to get into racing while saving hundreds of $$$ compared to full race buggies. Period.
If you want to get into 1/8 buggy racing - just go get one! amzn.to/32embN8
I visited the RC Farm ( / rc-farm-105135097764710 ) with The Rich D RC ( / richd ) to see how good this Arrma TLR Typhon would do. It not only surprised the two of us, it surprised the regular folks also!

I found it needs more toe-in on the rear as the rear end was really loose out of the box. Once I put more rear toe-in and proline blockade tires on velocity rims, it was so much better on the track keeping up with my RC8B4e.

@RoadsideRC 2 года назад

Thanks for the tip!

@derekknight4199 2 года назад

Awesome job showing the ability out of the box at a track and pointing out its potential. Plus showing the simple changes of better tires and the improvements you can get. Great vid

@RoadsideRC 2 года назад

Thanks! It really impressed me!

@snwbmx1 Год назад

Oh man it's been nearly a decade since I was there but this looks like Mike's RC World in Bellingham. Good memories at that track.

@RoadsideRC Год назад

Fun! Different place, but glad it brought back some memories!

@TheJROC311 2 года назад

The stock tires are ok for messing around, bashing, longer wear but suck at my local track. So much better with the appropriate race compound tires. Pretty impressive that someone could get that close of lap times to full on race setups with the stocks on it. Don't count out this buggy. In capable hands I think it's going to hurt some feelings this next race season...

@RoadsideRC 2 года назад

I agree! This buggy is more impressive than people think!

@trae4706 2 года назад

Don’t do indoor racing with my TLR but I do speed runs and intermediate drag racing. Clocked 111 mph yesterday with my PowerHobby GNSS. Not sure on durability bashing wise but limitless when wanting to go fast and solid platform out the box to do do.

@RoadsideRC 2 года назад

I bet it does well in that realm also. Curious: why did you go Typhon instead of Talion for the speed runs?

@unstoppable6047 Месяц назад

Switch to ultra soft tires and I could see you keeping up much better and able to hit the jumps properly. Keep it up bro

@RoadsideRC Месяц назад

Thanks! Yes - getting on the right tire is key!

@GreatLakesRC 2 года назад

Man that track looks like alot of fun! 🤩 Your right the TLR Typhon has a bunch of adjustments to make it better on the track 👍 The heart of it is still a Typhon though so you are only going to be able to push it so far

@RoadsideRC 2 года назад

That is right!

@FarmerFpv 2 года назад

It's a whole different buggy. It's lighter stronger way more adjustments. I don't get what you mean you're only going to be able to push it so far? It's no different than any other race-spec buggy when it comes to setup. I race mine every weekend. It performs just as well as my RC8B on the track.

@GreggCesaroni 2 года назад

I actually just got one a month ago and I have to say it’s really impressive. On 4S it’s very pleasant. Max 8 combo, 19T pinion. It’s as fast as my Kraton 6S (1250 KV motor with 24T). Throw a 6S pack in and it does 80 mph on the stock tires. Tried again with Duratrax and they exploded. Only changes I’ve done to mine are better tires if I want to handle better on dirt and the M2C shock bleeder caps only.

@RoadsideRC 2 года назад

Awesome! Glad to hear you like it!

@GuyonaMoose 2 года назад

Very valid point. It’s not meant to go to high level. It’s meant for normal/new folk to get into club racing to have fun. Great video and nice driving

@RoadsideRC 2 года назад

Absolutely!!!! Everyone at the track was really impressed with this "gateway drug" :)

@NathanStorer-RC 2 года назад

I just bought one of these today. I started with the V2 3s Typhon a couple of years ago and upgraded the electronics. Recently I've been having issues with it, so I decided now is a good time to upgrade and just swap the electronics. I only have one pack through it so far, but I am really impressed with it. Now I just need to learn all the tuning options which seems a bit daunting.

@RoadsideRC 2 года назад

Honestly - I suggest most folks leave the tuning mostly alone. You can find a few setup guides from the pros online. Copy one of their setups for a track similar to yours and leave it! They have 1000s of hours in testing and experience, so I take their word for it and focus on making my driving better.

@barrysrcdump3557 2 года назад

Hey dude. I've just bought a TLR to go with my tired 3s RTR. This was just the sort of info that I was looking for. I thought if it wasn't as good as I'd hoped, I'd use it as a bashed. After watching this, I'm going to spend some time setting it up properly and restore the 3s. I've fitted a Max8 combo, that should do for now. Many thanks. 🤝

@RoadsideRC 2 года назад

Awesome! Good luck with it. My friend and I now have 2 of them. Everyone who drives them is really surprised. They are more competitive than folks give them credit for.

@BangForYourBuckRc 2 года назад

Typhon handles itself pretty well I’d say!⚡️⚡️🔥🔥👊🏼👊🏼

@RoadsideRC 2 года назад

Agree 100%!

@ReadySetRC 2 года назад

Very interesting🤔 Great video!

@RoadsideRC 2 года назад

Glad you think so! Thanks!

@abruptlyblunt 2 года назад

from what i've seen the tlr typhon with the right setup and driver will hold it's own against the likes of tekno and associated which is good because it's almost as expensive as they are

@RoadsideRC 2 года назад

It does seem rather fast for sure! Still, hundreds of dollars cheaper than the main race vehicles.

@thelurker9472 2 года назад

I got the Typhon TLR because I couldn't get my hands on a kyosho ready set rtr. Seems quality so far.

@TKommando 2 года назад

I considered a TLR Tuned Typhon for getting back into 8th scale before one of my racing buddies gave me his old EB48.3.

@RoadsideRC 2 года назад

The Tekno would be better, for sure.

@overdosed51 2 года назад

You said the pros hit a few 19 second laps... What times are they turning on their personal set ups?

@RoadsideRC 2 года назад

They were all running low 19s, with an occasional high 18.

@jacobwalling4128 2 года назад

People I know hate on it because it’s arrma but it has just as much adjustability as a tekno or xray so I can’t hate on it. I’m probably going to get it to spite them 🤷🏻‍♂️

@RoadsideRC 2 года назад

I love doing stuff like that. "Hey -- you know this buggy you hate? I just beat you with it!" :)

@islandrc-duke1972 2 года назад

Cool run on the track

@RoadsideRC 2 года назад

Thanks!

@20spray1 2 года назад

i have an mp10e, but was looking to getting a Typhon TLR tuned or a RC8B3.2e as a basher/racer at my local track, didn't need it to be super competitive. the RC8B3.2e is on sale for about $100 off right now, so its currently only a little more expensive, but it does need wheels and tires

@RoadsideRC 2 года назад

Some good choices for sure! Any of those have better or easier parts support? Good luck!

I'm looking at getting into 1/10 scale buggy racing currently looking for a cheaper end entry level car to race was eyeing this one up but I'd like to see him do a review on the hsp xstr pro race edition

@RoadsideRC 10 месяцев назад

This buggy is 1:8, not 1:10, so please consider that as well.

@alanrichardson398 2 года назад

Wot diff oil would you put in it to race ? Great video by the way 👏 👍 tracks like this are few and far between here in the UK sadly 🤔

@JPRC_CRAZINESS 2 года назад

Definitely a nice rig I don’t race mine but it’s definitely one of my favorites! To me it’s like an exb version of the regular typhon with all the stronger parts 🤪great video!

@RoadsideRC 2 года назад

Thanks for watching! I am concerned it might not really be that strong though. I would love to hear your thoughts on strength with bashing.

@JPRC_CRAZINESS 2 года назад

@@RoadsideRC I changed out the plastic chassis braces to M2C before I ever ran it and forgot they came plastic 🤣but I’ve ran it on 6s and 4s both maybe 6 packs each of just jumping a dirt pile back and forth with a good 15 to 20ft height with zero issues and I definitely crashed a few times but man it soars so nice🤪what is it that you feel isn’t strong?the whole rig as a whole or a certain area?thanks for responding 😜

@RoadsideRC 2 года назад

A lot of the parts that make it more race-specific. Examples: - rear shock tower. Look at where the upper turnbuckles mount. Soo many adjustment holes that the mount is weaker than the standard v5. - front lower suspension mounts in the plastic "pills". Great for adjustment and racing, but not as solid as the standard v5 mounts. If someone is just 100% bashing, I believe the standard v5 is a better choice. But - that is just me!

@JPRC_CRAZINESS 2 года назад

@@RoadsideRC yes the holes are close but we are talking about two different types of metal,rtr is stamped in I think 6061 and the tlr is machined in 7075.and we already know how those compare when bashing already from the rtr kraton and the exb version.

@RoadsideRC 2 года назад

Agree! I'm not actually worried about the shock tower breaking. It is the screw mounted through it that is compromised because it doesn't have a full hole to support it.

@Dfchainsaws Год назад

Do you remember what weight diff fluid u used?

@RoadsideRC Год назад

I don't right now - the setup was based on the sheets Losi provides on their website.

@Fishinmass17 3 месяца назад

what diff fluids did you run?

@RoadsideRC 3 месяца назад

Depends on the track surface and size of the track. I recommend you look at the Team Losi website - they have base setup sheets for their 1/8 buggy that translate to this one rather well. Puck a setup sheet that closest matches your track and start from there.

@sidlauskis 2 года назад

Nice video, thinking about tlr typhon. PLannig to do some racing (amateur class one or two races at local events) and just fun bashing/racing with friends. After your video there is more pros then cons tu buy one :). Has this buggy any serrious weak points?

@RoadsideRC 2 года назад

This buggy has been really solid - but it has only been used for racing. No super-hardcore bashing.

@sidlauskis 2 года назад

@@RoadsideRC and how it is in racing? Competetive?

@RoadsideRC 2 года назад

It is surprising good for how cheap it is (compared to full race buggies). An average driver will not win a race with it, but should have fun and will not be embarrassed. We handed the controller to some of the more pro-racers. They were all surprised by how good it was.

@HenriBrownell 2 года назад

Methinks you dialed back that machine a bit. Maybe it's because of the scale of the track, but it seems like the Tyhon is faster than that.. also, how would you compare that vs the Associated RTR BB10?

@RoadsideRC 2 года назад

Hey there! Just ran the buggy for what is needed on the track for sure. Some of this was with someone who knows what they are doing driving. Speed is based on track, right?

@HenriBrownell 2 года назад

@@RoadsideRC very true. I was just curious:)

@jrc-fabs1634 2 года назад

4S - that is typical for buggy racing.

Where can I get one....I Love Arrma line up I currently have Arrma Granite Mega with a Brushless system but I wanna add all 3/4s components all around...should I or not.

Honestly, if you already upgraded to brushless, there really isn't more needed to be the BLX setup. Just drive it and have fun!
