Which car is the fastest? ARRMA TYPHON vs TRAXXAS RUSTLER VXL 

Honestly for the price Typhon 3S is the best thing out there

They most likely had the Spektrum radio - if you can get the Typhon with a Tactic radio then go that route. I grabbed the last one from my local Hobby shop.

Great video,the v4 Typhons have been upgraded and look pretty tough,I'd be prepared to fit a new receiver tho and new controller

The review is excellent....now I know which to buy...thank you captain drone 💖

What an awesome price for this buggy.

Still in love with the Rustler, especially with the longer range of the remote :P

I was hoping this was a 2WD Rustler!! But, I guess you have to do 4wd VS 4wd to make it fair, but my 2 favorite RC ever (in 20 Years of owning RC's!) is the Traxxas Slash 2WD, which is kinda weird when you consider my Worst RC (Worst handling) is the 2WD Traxxas Bandit! I have a super modded one that has been lengthened by 5-6cm & also made Wider by 6-7cm & Still its terrible! Unlike the Slash the Bandits just cant turn & it either under-steers like crazy or it over-steers & spins out/around! (& I didnt want to put weights on the front) The 2WD Slash tho handles beautifully! By FAR the best handling RC Ive owned in 20 years!

No spelling mistake from Arrma! Typhoon is a dramatic weather pattern, Typhon is from greek mythology, Typhon was the strongest of all gods!

Magari se mettevi km o miglia? Che me rappresenta kph???

This typhon now comes with much longer range and a fan on the motor.

ARRMA gang like it up Traxxas comment Thx Captain drone your the best!

I much rather my fan to be loud then my ESC burning up

Can not tell if you are sarcastic but Typhon is the god more powerful than Zeus. Hera had Gaia and Tartarus create Typhon. One letter O. Thanks for the great review!

When I pulled my 6s out of the box and the transmitter I thought it was a joke. Dx5c is what I went with.

You have the exact same rustler 4x4 as me. Same color, same battery tie down, even the same GoPro mount in the same spot!

Once again a real world view.I enjoy how you seem to hit the most prevalent points.Keep it up !

ARRMA has come a long way, Traxxas too however they need to get with the times...ARRMA right now are beating them in technology, hands down😉👍 thanks so much for the share

Arrma has changed it radio systems to spectrum systems and have ditched the tactics. To race it you need stand mid from start to finish for connected range. FYI

You can't tell the speed from onboard fpv!# we need to see from the side view 😊😊👍

RC trucks are more fun and better controlled with an AIO and goggle. Just my opinion, thanks for sharing your other passion.

The v3 typhon has a diffrent motor and remote ansd a motor fan

SLT2 transmitter, pure garbage, replaced mine for my Typhon 3s with dumbo rc x6a, 500 meter range :) and gyro, super responsive, heaps better

It would be great to see these things go head to head on a race track.

I was going to get Arrma but seeing this video probably stick to Traxxas

I used to love TraxxASS until I got my first Arrma Typhon. After that sold my crazy upgraded Rustler VXL, Mini E Revo and my brand new E Revo 2.0 which broke the first 20 minutes in driving it. After that nothing but Arrma and I couldn’t be happier. Arrma are frickin tanks. Radios are trash but that’s nothing compared to the BS Traxxas puts you through.

Deffenitly 2 very cool RC! I don't like saying one is better than the other but R C Ground Buggies/Trucks should not need a Return to. Home. Not sure of price difference but all the walking to get your RC truck is what will get it smashed ran over even in Parking Lots! Like to see same test in mud and hills! 👍

The typhon runs over 100kph with 26t pinion (i got mine to 104kph and with 4s [different esc] 115kph)

I have them both and I love them both :-)

Rustler vxl 2wd wouldve been faster than both

I have an ARRMA Granite 4x4 BLX which is similar to the Typhon. it's a beast!!

So the Arrma is cheaper out of the box. But the radio is trash and the servos are worse then what comes with Traxxas cars apparently. I'll stick with the more reliable brand lol. Of and you can easily get an ESC fan for the VXL ESC for $14 off eBay. Powerhobby has ESC fans that are almost a clone of the Traxxas fan for $10 cheaper.

I know this is a old video, but just watched it. I had the same issue, I contacted Horizon who sent me a new receiver very fast and it fixed the range issue. This is not an uncommon issue, I had the same thing happen with a $1000. XMax, boy was I upset. Traxxas after much effort sent me a new reciever and it too fixed my range issue.

You see the huge shadow at 6 32, big hawk or something.

Yes Traxxas has the range but Armma tough is more than a logo. Traxxas will break if you look at it while Arrmas can take a pretty good hit. On 3s 11.1 I like my Granite much better. Hits 50 MPH out of the box on 3s and is very stable at speed. I think I would still like to have the Rustler VXL 4x4. I like it lot's.

Same problem with my Typhon 6s, also goes out of range and you have to walk up right next to it to reconnect. However my Senton 3s does not have that issue although i think it's the same Spectrum radio. Maybe the receiver, the antenna is tiny on the Typhon.

The V2 Typhon 3s was undrivable garbage straight out of the box. Horrible Spektrum radio w/ latency & range issues, worthless servo(could not steer car), leaking shocks, unsealed bearings, plastic driveshaft that was ruined within an hour after pebbles wedged in between it and the heatsink, massive steering slop, etc. Seemed like a steal at $299 but literally within 2 hours of owning it, I’d already spent $200 more on a new radio and servo. I had to add metal threaded body shocks, a Yeah Racing Tornado motor fan, sealed bearings, new driveshaft, new Yeah Racing Tornado ESC fan(og fan died), and I dialed out as much steering slop as possible. $300+ on top of the $300 purchase price and it’s a beefy little ripper that I love to drive. I hear the V3 has some nice upgrades that solve the V2 problems. In Arrma’s defense, they did send me a new Tactic radio to replace the junk Spektrum after I emailed to tell them that the Spektrum radio was unacceptable at any price point. I don’t expect much from a $300 rtr, but I do expect it to work satisfactorily out the box. It failed miserably. I now like the Typhon a bit more than my Traxxas stuff after throwing a good amount of $$ at it, but Traxxas products work better directly out of the box.

Haha! lots of fun goin' down here - it's what the hobby's all about 😆😆👍👍

Arrma typhon 3s or traxxas rustler 4x4 vxl Which one should I take and why?????????

Can you tell me the mah battery for the typhon 3s. Just bought one and need to buy batteries

Didnt know you review cars too Very cool

I'm old enough to remember when Steve was into quadcopters and Andre was into planes!!! 😆😆 Good job on the review!👍

Results are exactly as I expected. ARRMA is faster and the crappy, new for 2019 Spektrum radio sucks big time. Glad to see this side of your channel. I have a Radiolinks 4 channel that I will be putting in my 2019 ARRMA 4s Kraton. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QNDXWBT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 2 receivers with gyros.

The V3 Typhon is awesom i have one and have no issues.

In my large scale ARRMA ten, the range problem did not exist,( everythin almmost the same) although I noticed delays in reactions with Trxxas Rustler, I think it's because theres a small and short antenna in ARRMAS placed in the addition of the esc and fan wheel in my gibg rock at Typhon you can not see it at all ...It could be improved somehow by DIY.

hmm.. something must have glitched. i havent had any radio issues with my arrma typhon

Great vid guys, glad I came across it!! 👍 Glad I went w the Arrma Typhon 6S over the Rustler 4x4 VXL, It's coming in 2moro, will be uploading an unboxing video, so excited!! I was also aware that the controller on the Arrma is crap, so I also ordered an R7FG Radiolink receiver since I have an RC4GS Radiolink controller already that I use on my 2WD Rustler that's configured for speed runs. Hmm, may do speed run test comparing both, a 2200kv vs 2050kv! 😋

I have a new arma typhon 3s and it has a huge range. It disappears and still works. One time i had to go by sound to get it back.

try the typhon 3s with the 26t pinion gear and hoon tires ......alot faster speed

Lol that’s the recommendation for the battery lol. A 30c lipo? 😂 😂

The range...big yikes. I have almost every type of Traxxas other that the Bandit. I think I will get one of these and change the receiver.

I just got a 6s typhoon and it’s the best thing I’ve ever owned

No offense, but noone in the world cares about kph. We need mph.

I think you just got a fluke cuz i have the same thing and the range is fine

How did you mount the gopro on typhon

Typhon 3s is a legend

Arma is far better than traxass by far.

Can you make more videos comparing these two? Pls

I really liked the Video and you too guy's r very joyful to watch. Very good. Keep it up dudes!!!! Small toys for big boys is the only way!!!!

The slt3 radio on arrma is traaaash,recommend dumborc, i got one on my 6s (8s max5) and it is perfect, tested it on 6s 120 kmh and on 8s 150 kmh

its two different typs of cars. The rustler is for dirt drive and tyres for that, the Typhon, smaller tyres, and typically a car for plain tarrain...

The radio system that Arrma RC’s come with all lack in range, that is fist thing I replaced in all of my Arrma.

That’s not normal typhon bro

tysm i am gettin back to rc cars probbably gonne get the typhon this helped qith the disision

Impressive speed on both! But the range matters a lot. Irritating to constantly go to retreive it. 😁

If you put the 18t pinion on the rustler it would be faster

Cannot believe you didn't get any drone footage, still awesome though! #MissedOpportunity

Obviously binded the controller wrong I have no issues with my Arma typhon

Interesting to see a GoPro on the ARRMA rather than a GoPro on a Karma

Wow. They fast. Never had a remote controlled car

Who is that dot in the parking lot? Could it be......yes it is....Capppptaaain Speeeeeed! Nice video Steve. Who says you can't get exercise playing with R/C cars. I bet you lost 2 pounds ( Oops, I mean 1 kilo). Almost forgot to convert.

I think the problem is you're not using fresh batteries in your controller.

great video guys. :) Good old traxxas, they are still one of if not the best bashers on the market today, i have been an ower of traxxas models for nearly 20 years now and still love then to this day lol, yup i have a few stampedes, slash, revo, t-maxx, but have a good few other brands too. :)

God slowing it down

Can you make a review about the tactic air drone plss by the way nice video

Those cars are amazing. My dream as a child!

no plans on getting drone pilot license? the new drone law sucks btw

I have the same Typhon and never have range issues? Maybe ya got a bad one or your really driving it super far. Love that Arrma although I need to get a fan for the rustler or else it overheats when you upgrade the pinion!

So the traxxas is geared for torque and the arma for speed. Pointless video

Please buy a arrma senton 6s blx and do a speed test with other car

How is the arma 8th scale buggy on a track?

Interested your thoughts re DJI entering what appears to be a remote RC Vechile *!??

I just bought a Traxxas VXL, and I'll say, running on hot asphalt on a humid 95 degree day, the ESC doesn't overheat for at least 40 minutes of run time. There's a 20 dollar fan upgrade that I have on my 2wd Rustler, and I'll be adding something similar to my 4wd one. I don't have the range problems the Arrma has, and around the track, my Rustler keeps right up with a local guy who has had an Arrma for a while

Was thinking about buying arrma now I’m nottt

The range on your typhon is not my experience. Given I do have the 6S version, but I have not hit an area yet where the signal cut out and the vehicle stopped. In testing range, the car is so far away the commands are delayed and I cant even see the car clearly, but it has never cut out like in the video. My car is a few years old, I assume V1.

Both are nice,great video.

As of today 2/27/22 this ARMA got a new Transmitter from Horizon Hobby the (1) Spektrum™ 2.4GHz SLT3™ 3-Channel Transmitter I believe the car will get better range & speed if you raced with Andre today !!

Oh goodness.. no mistake...as in the deity or titan typhon

Thinking of getting the arrma typhon 3s blx what battary was you using a 2s 0r 3s and did you change the gearing or was it just standard out of box cheers great video

Is this a V4 Typhon? Crazy you lost range that far out. Hope its not a v5 with the new spektrum stuff. I was looking at that car :(

great great video it's like no one races rc anymore like Damn what happened to the fun??

That's the v2 Typhon that had radio issues. The new v3 that is coming out now has a great radio with no issues plus more improvements and is still about $100 cheaper than the Rustler 3s vavxl. Easy choice here my friends

arrma is king i have the typhon beast buggy

Oh wow, I found Andre on another channel! Lol. I think you may have something wrong with your tx or rx because I had more range on mine stock out of the box. That being said, I got turned on to the Dumbo rc tx from Kevin Talbot's channel and for around $35 us you get a tx/rx combo that has almost 3x the range of even the traxxas radio. Its a no frills radio but it works great

Arrma updated the remote that comes with the rc

I have an armor scent Mega I upgraded it with the Traxxas Velineon vxl-3s system and put a Traxxas receiver and remote and it is straight a beast

Hi Captain drone i just got a dji spark I am I am having trouble with connecting to the dji go 4 app with my android phone the note 8 what am I doing wrong can you pls help me

Stock radio sucks on arrma

Very awesome video.. 😃👍

Your battery is dead in transmitters

I have a granite BLX 4x4 brushless and an Outcast 6s. Waiting on my 3s Typhon. Those Arrmas that I have are a BEAST.
