  • 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!

    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.

    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.

Love how you can turn it down to 50% throttle. Figure it will be a perfect first rc for my grandson to learn on.

    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

  • @stw9495
    @stw9495 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    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
      @rcdriver  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      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.

      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.

    • @rcdriver

      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.

    • @nielsmeer
      @nielsmeer 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.
