Welcome back Mike! 👌
Thank you!
welcome back, my second also kicked my arse,ans chestfelt bad for couple of weeks,take care bud.
Thank you. All good now, thankfully! Cheers.
Welcome back! Google is your friend when it comes to getting to the pinion. Assuming they didn't do anything different to the other 3s models you can get to it with removal of 1 screw on the bottom, pull out the red block and then pull the assembly up. CCxRC has a video on a Typhon I think showing how it works
Thanks! Yeah, I'll check it out. I was just in no condition to do it there and then!
Thanks for the tip!
You mean TH-cam is your friend.
To get to the pinion you remove the motor module by removing 1 screw on the bottom and pulling out the red latch next to the motor. Then remove the driveshaft. Then pulling on the bit that says PULL in big bold letters and slide the motor out. It is VERY stiff to start with so wait for your injection side effects to ware of first
Thanks for that. Very helpful!
Hope you feel better soon. Never been a fan of Trenchers too heavy
Cheers, Rich! I love my Trenchers on the RWD MT, so we'll see how we get on.
Ahhh, you're scaring me, I'm getting my second shot tomorrow, ha ha! Offshore, I remember when I worked offshore, I kept buying Scalectrix, no RC's at that stage, but at least I caught up on that... Looks cool with those bigger tyres, I'm looking forward to see your running video, I assume you got some weeks onshore now, recover from the jab and then shoot lots of RC footage, ha ha!
How did you get on?
Scalextrics are great. I've always considered dabbling, but RC already costs me too much!
Looks better now. I think the standard tyres are belted while is why they are so hard
It certainly does. Hmm... that's a possibility. They suck, either way!
17t might be too much also. Depends how hard you bash and ambient Temps of course. On my typhon after putting MX28s I had to go with a 13t pinion. Bashing in 85+ degree weather was causing it to overheat but I bash quite hard 😅
Yeah, I might drop it some more. We'll test it and see.
@@TheRCScotsman You have an IR temp gun? If not, get one haha
@@RUZTY1311 Yeah, it's called the end of my finger! "Now then... how hot is th-AIYAAAH BUGGER!!"
@@TheRCScotsman hahah!! I stopped trusting my finger....what seemed to be too hot never actually was PLUS I have sensitive....tips. :D
My ESC has gone in mine 😢. Great video
BOOOOOOO!!! Overheated?
Turned on after 3 weeks from last run. 5 mins in stop running only had reverse then went off on its own in reverse managed turn it off. Turned back on had nothing including the steering had no time to over heat?
Going to get intouch with arrma apprently I've heard they have extended to warranty on the electrics in the vorteks turns out it is common and I had just put a 16t pinion in as the last few runs the motor and esc was very hot
Can u upgraded with a Sway bar..? Because high speed turned it is little unstable...
I don't think there is one available.
I tried those tires and I was rubbing did you not have any issue?
It ran well, but yes, there was some rubbing. Going to look into hex extenders. See if I can cure it.
Be wary of the plastic diffs i stripped about 7 then i gave up and sold the shit box and got a 6s typhon
Will do. Thanks for the warning!
The plastic diffs can be a pain in the arse! If you bash hard, and if you land under throttle or nose dive your chances are high to strip one. I went with a metal input and diff ring gear on my 3s rigs. But also be wary of the plastic diff yokes! They warp over time and cause binding which strips them faster. Keep an eye on grease also. I usually check the grease once every couple months. Check for diff fluid also 👍
@@RUZTY1311 Cheers for the info!
Link or description of tires in video description would help. Only way to find out is to sift through the video but the wife is asleep so it'll remain a mystery.

Plus these adapters: www.prolineracing.com/product/1-10-6x30-to-14mm-hex-adapters/PRO634700.html
But the wheels/tyres do scrub the body.
Can I get a site to the wheels you bought
modelsport.co.uk
I bet now you are rubbing the body with the wheels, I replaced arms and links with Typhon 3s ones, to get a wider stance, and converted to 17mm also, so now my Vorteks is wider and no more issues with loosing wheel nuts.
Ah right, well we'll have a go and see what happens. If rubbing is an issue, I'll look into sorting it. Thanks!
The Big Rock Crew Cab V3 tires are not great either, think i need a different set
Glad I didn't buy those, then!
Get the Granite tires for the BR! They are awesome for it!
Do you have the link for those tyres please?
www.modelsport.co.uk/product/pro-line-trencher-28in-all-terrain-tyres-mounted-2--438974 This is the UK, though. Part number is PL1170-10.
@The RC Scotsman thanks I'm from the UK so all is good
@The RC Scotsman do the hex adapters come with them?
@@missreid86 No, you have to buy the Arrma-size adapters separate. But they're cheap.
