Arrma has become a go to brand for those looking for a capable basher. Arrma is known to be built tough. Arrma is known for cars that can be sent and there are some Arrma owners that have even wheeled it around the track. The cars they make are built to bash, but they have all the components necessary for racing. So with Team Losi Racing also owned by Horizon Hobby, they decided to put the two together to create a high performance buggy. A buggy that will truly perform as a basher and a buggy that can handle well and even win at the track. We got our hands on the new TLR Tuned Arrma Typhon ⅛ Off-road Electric Buggy and give you a rundown of the changes made to it in comparison to the basher Typhon we’re used to.

Great overview. As someone who club raced an old gen Arrma Typhon v2 for a few years I can say it held up well and was competitive. This will be better in every way with the addition of tuning pills for A, B, C , D blocks, more roll Center adjustments, and having stronger aluminum parts. I do wish they had leveraged proline for body and tires, or maybe used horizon’s new AKA aquisition for race rubber, but this RC was likely done development before that happened.

Thanks! Pros should like it as long as they think about the bigger picture. As a long time racer, I’m excited to see this. I think it can help a lot of drivers transition easily into a racer. The more racers at the track, the more competition and the better the chances are of the tracks themselves sticking around for years to come.

Good to see Arrma doing a proper manual again, we haven't seen a decent manual since Horizon Hobby took over. I hope this new direction means that we start to see improved quality of parts included across the range of cars, Losi sure knows how to make reliable and well designed vehicles I hope this isn't a one off. Nice detail on the video, please get the guys that filmed the ET48 2.0 video to video this on the track, that is one of my favourite videos of all.

Your timing is awesome, I'm calling my hobby shop this afternoon to order one! Any idea when they're hitting shelves? I say timing is awesome because my local dirt track (indoor/covered) switches to 1/8 scale and oval for the fall/winter. So I've been debating switching one of my TLR 22's to carpet or getting an eight scale. Always like the Typhon but a little too much $$ for just a basher.. and didn't want to build a e-buggy.. man this nails it! I'm really happy with my TLR 22 5.0 Roller, great car out of the box - this is right there. Going to get that pro-line body painted up and hit the track for some fall/winter 8th scale!

As a racer, I think a good way to look at this roller as its a quick and easy way to break it in scenario. As a racer, after a few runs you’ll tear it down anyway to refresh oil, check and tune things. You’ll get your build satisfaction in then. 😎

This is great that horizon is re releasing the Team Durango DEX8. Also for $419 that's a great idea. But they didn't have to slap it with TLR tuned when it's not. But it's good for the hobby to have another race car to choose from in my book.

@rcdriver 2 года назад

LOL, just a few hours ago I recorded the intro to Part 2 of this review and addressed that this buggy is not a DEX8. Luckily we reviewed the DEX8 and I was able to compare the two. Towers are different, so they are TLR towers, chassis is different, so its a TLR chassis, pivot blocks are different so they are are TLR… and it goes on. But I do agree it’s nice to have more options!!
