Driftomaniacs hi I’m from the uk thinking about buying this car but don’t know which reasonably priced batteries to buy can you recommend any I’ll be able to get hold off? Cheers Sam :)
I am a R/C fanboy !!! Thanks for saying what you did about people screwing themselves by not buying ALL brands, why limit your horizons ???? Awesome looking vehicle, TON of FUN !!!!
My only gripe. Is lying to your customer. Arrma says 70 mph you get 70mph. Traxxas says 60mph, and you get 40-47mph. If you put a blx system in traxxas it would explode. Love both brands. Traxxas just lies and chargers too much for there product. That’s all.
IC5 allows for "(intelligent) smart batteries" Fortunately they fit with EC5. Same connection that is stock on the 4x4 3s BLX Arrma line. They are awesome but the IC5 will only allow for noticing the difference is if you have the newly available smart packs. You can get more stats from these new packs but not always necessary for the day to day basher. When you get her on the long stretch, I think you'll be thrilled! That 20t pinion is also essential. I put the 20t from my Talion kit on my Typhon V3 and it flies! 70+ mph is entirely too fast for me but it's there if we want it.
The arrmas are great trucks! If you really start jumping it you'll want to replace the plastic chassis braces with metal ones, it probably won't be a problem on the typhon but with the outcast and kraton the chassis likes to try to turn into a taco when you really bash it
I don't think that most people that have issue with the radio do so because lack of features, etc., but rather the radio / receiver compatibility not being able to be paired with the various dsm protocols, like for me, if I were to get one of them new versions, even though I have a Spektrum radio, I'd have to pick up another receiver (if I wanted to use my existing radio) or just be stuck with what they are providing (sure not really a big deal, but kind of annoying).
Hey dude, I hear you, I think it is a big deal about the radio myself because it is a cheaper radio than the Tactic TTX300 and has the 50 75 100 feature that you really do not need. The Tactic had all of the features you needed and nothing else. Arrma even says in the manual these are not a toy! They are not for people under 14. It is like a regular car, just because it can do 100 mph does not mean you drive like that and it is the same thing with these cars. Personally not being able to use another radio system and having to use that garbage (this radio comes in the ECX Ruckus, like a $100 RC car for kids!!!) On a $500 RC car I would rather they have an option to knock $30 off the price for a radio-less version. Take care dude ✌
I lost a hub nut fairly quickly. Luckily it happened right in front of my house as I was "walking" my Kraton back. I saw the nut fall out but missed the rubber cup inside. Took two days to find it. Bought HR Racing nuts after that. I also had the pivot ball back out on one arm the first time I bashed on 6s. Dogbone came out but luckily didn't bend. Hasn't happened since that one time.
i own a v2 senton (converted to v3 except shocks) and the servo saver never got loose but used to jam A LOT and the Steering would not return to center properly (turn hard/ high speed left it would go slightly to the right, turn hard/high speed to the right it would slightly to the left) i adjusted the endpoints to make sure it wasn't binding, ended up changing the Servo to a savox, Servo horn and Servo mount to hot racing Aluminum upgrades only to change the Servo saver to a hot racing model which worked for a while but eventually developed the same jamming and not returning to center problem. I own 4 cars with this servo saver type (Traxxas UDR, Axial Yeti Score TT, Redcat Volcano, and Arrma Senton 6s blx) and the ALL OF THEM have theis problem REGARDLESS OF BRAND and changing to aluminum only works temporarily. Long term i end up locking the Servo saver (eliminating it if there is and optional part to replace it) and get a strong enough servo so i don't need one that is the only solution i have found and it has worked and no servo problems so far but you MUST buy the right sevo for your car
My new Wraith came with the spectrum radio. It felt pretty cheap and the Tactic was a three channel not a two. I’d rather have the tactic. Im just weird that way. Still a great car.
Most of the reviewers say that the radio is total crap. My granite BLX came with the tactic radio and this radio (the one featured here) on is my little 1:18 scale 4wd monster truck. On the dirt I don't notice much of a difference, but I'm just a rookie. Thoughts? Thanks!
@@DriftomaniacsRC Hey Richie, From what I have seen on other videos I think the antenna length is the same as the rest of the line up, the difference being that the body is much more aerodynamic and would have to poke through the body because all of the other vehicles have taller bodies. What is your thought on the Senton not being updated yet? Discontinuation do you think? Take care ✌🤙👊
Exactly, screw those trolls that won't touch anything because of the name, the real hobbyists only care about what good products there are no matter what brand it is
i feel bad i was driving a friends arrma typhon 6s the other day and i was ripping it in a field and the lugnut came off and the wheel feel off he found the wheel but never the nut
Do the zop 5000mah 60c fit in the Typhon? I know the connectors are different just the size I'm thinking? I have 2 for my kraton so hopefully I can use in the Typhon but obviously change the Typhon over to xt60's.
The previous Tactic had 3 channels instead of two and the receiver had no antenna or ugly hole in the body with it sticking out. To me that makes it better. Just my opinion.
All 4 pole motors with metal pinion spur make that noise it’s the backlash. If you don’t here that sound your mesh is too tight. Awesome trucks. I just bought a second outcast 🤣
I have one on the way. We have a Kraton and Senton. The buggy is what I always wanted first, but was out of stock whenhen I had the money That was a close call in the Yard, man is so easy to do I know.
@@DriftomaniacsRC I hit a tree 2nd run and bent front end, Chassis, Front centre drive shaft, and Alloy Chassis braces are the mail. Fixing is just as much fun as bashing, if you have the cash. :)
I love Arrma I think that i like it better then traxxas but the XX-Max is amazing, if arrma came out with a XX-Max size RC car i would get it!! NICE Video!
13:30 go for an x-maxx instead? Um duh? But the price is very different. This is an incredible car for the money. Waiting to see Arrmas x-maxx killer. That would be a better comparison.
I did mention pretty specifically that they were two different beasts! One wonders if the lack of senton update could mean we are about to see something 'bigger' for that car? If so though that'd be Losi 5 electric territory. What do you think? Why no senton update? It's the same as the typhon bar the cage mount
@@DriftomaniacsRC I really hope they make a new Senton. Been having my eye on it for a bit now. But scared as soon as I buy it Arrma will come out with something else. Will probably get one of the new V4 Arrmas first. And just hold out hope.
Well they say 4s or 6s on the instructions so I always test with both so you can see how quick or not the car is on 4S.. If I don't you'd be surprised how many people ask 'how fast is it on 4s', as someone will always ask! I've plenty of videos with this car on 6s at speed! Also now got twin motored arrma infraction, if you want to see torque check that out '16s infraction'
Hey love your cars,you said it best,it's all about ,I like good RC cars,every1got there a,I mean opinions..but yea man I've had the Kraton for a full month,run it twice a day everyday lol,only problem I had was that servo saver,once,a little lock tite took care of that...btw I'd wouldnt mind buyin a Erevo2.0,I know I know,but they do seem to perform great
I sold my erevo 2.0 a while back, I miss using it but not the repairs. It was always minor stuff that broke never the big bits you'd imagine would go. Not sure what basher to get next.
the rear is sliding out in turns because the rear shocks are too stiff compared to the front. it can be nice, if your used to turning with deceleration, & a little fish tail slide. Been in RC since the early 80's & they are still messing around with all the damn connection. it was calm for a while , with tamiya connectors alone, but it has gone crazy since then. Easy access to motor & diffs is nice, but if RC makers wanna make a real stride, fix the damn issue with connectors once & for all. Switch to a universal system, alligator clips, or some type of connection that isnt keyed. its 2019 for christs sake
This running on the stock out the box settings, what you see is me driving it straight after unboxing it so please don't read too much into it's handling. I tend to stick with deans batteries and use adapters, but I see where you're coming from on the connectors
Anyone coming from racing is going to find the steering on these ultra ultra slow. Painfully slow. Snag up a servo mount, and put your better radio on it.. bam. Almost not slow anymore.
Steering on this is way faster than the 2 I've owned in the past, so much so I had to dial the response right down. Stock servo response was way too much for speed runs where small slow input is needed. Have you driven the new V4 Typhon? Or are those comments coming from experience driving an older one.
errr...the whole point of the arrma typhon is it's a buggy, people use them as speed run cars! NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM SHOULD YOU BUY THIS CAR!!!! It's not an MT. People buy this car because it DOESN'T wheelie!!!! Who the hell buys a 70mph buggy to wheelie it? Some of the modified typhons do 160mph...Love to see you're thoughts on it doing a wheelie at that speed (10lbs of car doing a wheelie at 140-160 errr.....it flips how well is that going to end. Not well is the answer! Can you imagine the damage 10lbs of airborne RC car hitting your road car at 100mph would do? Or worse that hit you in the chest or head? Want something that's fun to wheelie? Get a stampede or a slash but not a 70mph RC buggy.
come on man! the transmitter and receiver are garbage, if you want to see the potential the typhon 3s or typhon 6s have you need to upgrade your radio system period! that radio system lacks in every way and there’s a feeling of disconnect from the car and radio.
never had one issue with this radio although I appreciate people hate it.... I do use other radios on the really fast stuff, but as this was the unboxing and test drive, I'll call it like it is, bit stupid to throw new radio in the trash without testing it....

I own arrma and traxxas rigs and they both make great products

Check those places after every battery pack and you'll be fine
I wan't to run 2 traxxas 3s on my typhon 6s they fit better. is there a connector kit or do i have solder the traxxas connectors?
That's Awesome that you got a V4 Typhon 👍👍 Great Review and Run.. ✌️😎👍

Agreed
I just cant decide between this or the talion, im leaning towards the typhon. Will be mostly running on smooth terrain
I would go for this if running on smooth terrain, I've bought the talion as well and this is the better car for fast blacktop running.
Same. I really want a typhon
I've had issues with my kraton steering servo backing off

Looking to grab the Typhon. It will go nicely with my Kv4. Great vid 👍
It's a great all round car, it can do speed run stuff but is a blast on the beach with paddles on it
Good choice!! I'm waiting for the 4s line-up!
I have never owned Traxxas but I've works on tons!! lol..You can lower the antenna so it doesn't stick out of the body anymore
thanks I'm debating selling my new talion v3 which I bought like 4 weeks before they announced the V4's!
@@DriftomaniacsRC Sell it!! You have this now!
I'm thinking they've shifted the antenna to be like that to help out speed run guys, what do you think? Just a thought!

You'd need to measure it BUT I'm thinking that should fit in easily
Hi
Do you feel that the battery adapters lose any connectivity? I order a 2019 typhon and don’t want to solder if i dont need to👍
Wow!!! I love this unboxing of this car ~!!👍👍👍
😁👍Looks like a BEAUTY!!
The previous Tactic had 3 channels instead of two and the receiver had no antenna or ugly hole in the body with it sticking out. To me that makes it better. Just my opinion.
Get this and the tactic for 25 bucks off ebay...
@@ELValenin True, but that's an unnecessary added cost and there will still be an ugly hole in that sweet body.
Hi when i push my typhon down on rear it doesnt come back up as high like yours does
Why is this 🙄 pls do tell us Richie
I like them both.... both kinds has their good cars ,and better ones
Awesome review bro! 👍

Hey richie, 4 inches of travel?? I dont think that was 4inches. On ur vids measuring travel, I think ur a bit off. But, I love ur channel!
But my wife says it’s that big!😀
