Last fall I was running my Slash 4x4 & my neighbors son came outside & was watching me. He asked if he could drive it (the rest of this happened in less than a minute & was all MY fault), I said yeah & started in on telling him to be careful, that he saw how fast it was blah blah blah as I handed the radio over to him. Before I could take a second & set ESC to half power, he had the radio & his dad came out walking the dog & talking to me...Distracted for just a few seconds I realize I hear the car wide open & as I turned my head towards the car I see & hear @ the same time it slam pinned right under the front wheel of his dads truck. UGH!!! Cracked chasis, steering servo & a couple other things. Lesson learned. He was really apologetic & I told him not to worry, that's what it's all about. Drive em, break em, fix em, break em again. 100% my fault & no reason to be upset at the boy. Nice video!
@Kamdyn Brock thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I remember being their age in the early 90s and seeing a traxxas hawk 2. It was one of the most spectacular things I have ever seen to this date. I remember being speechless at how big and fast it was. In actuality, it wasn't that big or fast but to my little 8 year old brain it was marvelous lol. I've been addicted to rc's ever since. I have no doubt you created a life long rc hobbiest on this day. You should be proud 👊😊
@@cwatson42785 i was the same. Now a got a boy, waiting for the second to arrive soon. And i dont want to miss any second with him. I get your point, but Kids change you.
@@danielkonrad1444 oh I hear ya daniel. I think I'll get there one day. The funny thing is I'm great with kids. Kids always seem to wanna hang with me. I've always been really good with them. Well I'll enjoy being a uncle till my time comes lol. Congrats on the new baby on the way!
THIS IS WHY YOU ARE THE BEST!!! Not only did you let the kids enjoy the rc but you didn’t alter the video and rudely ask them to leave like others would have. Truly a sign that you are an amazing human being brother
Those were some awesome jumps! Great control in the air! 3s typhon was my first arrma and rc and i still love it! Such a great car! Typhon always knows how to draw a crowd!
Haha, exactly. I told them before I started filming to not be in front, but they got too excited and kept creeping forward. They were cute and well behaved, at least.
@@AussieRCPlayground that's what I was thinking! Some kids nowadays would say screw you I'll go where the hell I want! Lol. Great job being cool with the kiddos!
Great video Vas! i love watching the reaction of kids when i bring my RC's to the bmx park. They are so amazed and always ask if they can try. I feel bad offcourse telling them no but these machines can be dangerous and potentially hurt simeone pretty badly. Nice backflip btw smooth as butter indeed! Cheers
Some nice driving there mate, just got a v4 kraton BLS but not been anywhere to jump it yet, standard radio seems poor with big delay and quite unresponsive so something I’d like to change, love it apart from that 👍
So the this will backflip with proline 1/8 buggy Badland tires? I know it won't really do it with the stock tires. Also with a 15T pinion. Does having a higher tooth pinion does that allow it to rotate better in the air?
I have made copies of all the models in my radio to a kids version with limited throttle and reverse. Good for handing over the controls to those random kids. 😎
amazing i sold my vorza years ago to pay bills becouse i lost my job but this gives me hope that i can get back into the hobby and bash again GREAT VIDEO
Awesome vid per usual! I had a 20t in 3S typhon, it kept on overheating so downgraded to 18t let’s see how that goes. It doesn’t help that Texas temp right now is 100+
My vendetta has the same problem wow thanks I have typhon s 3 like your been running for December no problem I don't jump nor bash it one minor role when had it set on high punch but since I been doing med punch not and issue
SWEET air action with the little ripper Vas!!💪The kids were getting a charge out of it!😂Some super smooth transitions and that drain is death to a rc car waiting to happen!😳😜Everytime you get close I cringe! LOL Sucks on the break! Yeah when buggies get sideways in the air not much you can do! Not a bad break at all though! ARRMA tough!! I had my Truckified Typhon out for some orbit a few days ago trying out the Duratrax Lockups. Buggy bashing is so much fun! Great vid brother Vas!
Thanks Eric. I'm sure that drain will claim one of my cars at some point. LOL. It was fun having the kids around, they were pretty well behaved and they cheered on the cars as they jumped, so I didn't mind having them around. 😊
Hey man, love the content you put out! I do have a question and I know this video is old so not sure of you will see this, but I just got a Typhon 3s a few weeks ago. I put a 20t pinion on out of the box and it was doing great but now I just put some badlands on it and now I'm having temp. issues. Did you have any temperature cutouts?
VAS you should tell them who you are because here in the US you are a superstar in the RC world. And if I was one of those kids I'll be screaming there loudest OOZS AND AWS.😲😲 Those were some awesome jumps!!😉👊👊👌👌👍👍👍👍🙌
Thank you so much, Clarence. Really appreciate the support, but I hardly consider myself any type of "superstar". Haha. They did ask me what my channel name was at the end, so hopefully they'll watch these videos in the future and join the hobby. 😁
@@AussieRCPlayground VAS your humble but a lot of us guys here in California that test the ARRMA to its limits here on our own UA-cams thinks you are awesome so keep up the good work and thank you so much for showing your videos to us😉🙋♂️👊👊🤙🤙👍👍👍
That was an AWESOME run Vas 😜!!!! Absolutely love this little Ripper and this spot 👀. 6:30 was so butter smooth 😍. Bummer on the link, but there's not much you can really do once these suckers go off axis like that 😱. Props for being so cool with your audience. So nice to see the kids excited about RC. 🍻👍👍😎💪👊👊
Thanks heaps Rich. Yeah, had a couple of really nice landings but that one that got out of shape just couldn't be saved. Funny how the metal link broke and not the plastic bits around it. Haha. These cars are incredibly tough and awesome to drive. Thanks again for stopping by, Rich, always enjoy your comments. 👍😊🤜🤛
@@AussieRCPlayground you bet Brother 👊. Really enjoyed watching you send it 👍👍. Such a graceful flyer the Typhon 3s is. It's funny cuz that rear link was the first part to finally break on my Kraton 4s 🤣🤣. Can't complain given the beatings it's withstood. 🍻
Hello! Rad video! I’m new to the RC world and was wondering if I take my stock typhon 3s and wanted to upgrade to a 20t pinion, do I just order any 20t 5mm pinion? Thanks!!
Did you have any overheating issues running your typhon 3s with the 20tooth pinion on 2 or 3s lipo ? Im asking because I just got my 20 tooth pinion in today and I'm reluctant to use it if its going to overheat my electronics. I do not run my cars on grass mostly loose dirt and pavement. Thanks in advance!
I had a few spectators today while I was running my ERBEv2 at the skate park. Parents with their 5yr old (guessing) daughter who was on a scooter/blade thing. She would let out a squeal every time she saw me jump it. Back when I used to run nitro more frequently, I could have been in the most distant corner of a park or abandoned development area and sure enough, kids would hear it running and show up out of nowhere. Electric is quieter, but they still see it flying through the air and scamper over. I was/am always terrified when running nitro with kids around. Have something go wrong and get a runaway screaming nitro that plows into a kid. Would not be a good day. They just get closer and closer and you have to keep driving somewhere away from them.
Great air control!! I'm torn between this buggy and new Rival MT10..... Where I most drive-terrain and locations, 99.9% bashing--I do hit local tracks sometimes to bash on track environments, LOL I'm leaning towards the Rival MT10, but absolutely not a track worthy rc....
Hey Vas, I am highly doubting between the Kraton 4x4 4s and the 6s version. Don't want to spend too much money, so do you think the 6s is worth the extra money? Loved the vid btw
I put larger tires on my 3s and changed out the factory plastic gears for metal. She runs far better now. And the larger tires make a world of difference for this car. Those little ones they put on it were just to small for real fun
Hello, I want to purchase this but there are two versions? what is the difference between the Arma typhon 3S BLX Brushless RTR 1/8 4WD BUGGY W/Spektrum 2.4GHz Radio vs Arma Typhon V3 3S BLX Brushless RTR 1/8 4WD Buggy w/ Spektrum SLT3 2.4Ghz Radio Is it just the radio? one is 299 one is 319?
So I bought the Armma Typhoon 3s as well and I'm having a small issue and really need help on how to solve it. So when I turn my controller on and then the car, the front wheels immediately turn right. When I turn the wheels with the car off I find that they turn normally left and right without any resistance. However when on the wheels resist turning left even if I try using the controller. Can someone please help me figure out whats wrong with this awesome car? And really like the videos btw. Made me buy my first rc
Have you checked the steering trim is centred? If it is, then just remove the servo horn, then turn on the car and the servo will centre. Reattach the servo horn with the wheels straight and you should be able to turn left and right normally. Hope that helps and thanks for the support. 😊

He did you a favor! JK JK JK!!! ARRMA & Traxxas are my fav's.
haha, if someone else broke it, it's cause you let it go eh? :) Hope you got it fixed up though!
@Kamdyn Brock thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now.

As a parent yourself Vas, you would know that the parents involved probably really appreciated the precious few moments of respite 👍
Lol that's the reason I don't think I ever want kids! God I think of the peace and quiet and relaxation I get not having any kids yet.

Hopefully you create a whole new generation of new RC enthusiasts.
The one kid..."I'm gonna ask for one for my birthday" next generation right there.
Got my first race with my Teknos coming up the 18th Vas gonna record them and probably post em to UA-cam unless I totally suck it up lol

Lol
Awesome video again my brotha love seeing how excited the kids get over RC'S such a great time happy bashing bro.
It's some relaxed time for parents, and it's nice to hear the amazement of the little ones.
Good One Vas, Respect.
Heck yeah to getting kids excited about the hobby! Love your message on that!
Brilliant Vaz , great to inspire these kids , we need these kids in the hobby..
Those were some awesome jumps! Great control in the air! 3s typhon was my first arrma and rc and i still love it! Such a great car! Typhon always knows how to draw a crowd!
I just got one of these and it's been raining non stop here. I cant even mow its so muddy! Can't wait to bust this out once it dries up! So excited!
This was great! Love the kids enthusiasm.
Yeah man you definitely inspire the next generation to keep our hobby going !
Very nice controlled flips. Great car. Arrma tough. Awesome video as always Vas!
"Stand behind me kids, stand behind me" lol
Haha, well I didn't want to hit them with the car.
@@AussieRCPlayground Oh I know! It was just funny. Dont need a kid taking one of those monster airs to the head.
Haha, exactly. I told them before I started filming to not be in front, but they got too excited and kept creeping forward. They were cute and well behaved, at least.
@@AussieRCPlayground that's what I was thinking! Some kids nowadays would say screw you I'll go where the hell I want! Lol. Great job being cool with the kiddos!
Sweet video 🏁👻👍,so far two kids we know got RC cars from watching my son and I. Great job, thanks for inspiring the next generation.
Crazy Bashing Vas!! the Typhon is a Trooper!! the Kids Excitement, Made the Video More Fun to Watch!!
Great video. Great Jumping. I feel the the excitement and interest of your audience added to this video.
Dude your inspirational and a master at the control. Those landings were impeccable, fantastic content and keep on inspiring.
Awesome video loved your cheer section.
Thanks 🙏
Had quite the audience on this little torture adventure! 👌 great driving as always 🔥
Great footage of the Typhon. I agree it's a great hobby for all ages young and old. 😀
Holy s*** that crash was gnarly! Im honestly kinda surprised only the link broke!
Awesome video Vas. Those kids were truly enamored!, lol. The Typhon was SOARING!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Very cool. Thanks for your great video as I am thinking of one of these.
Fantastic test !
Sweet drive mate. Cheers
Great Video mate and superior driving except for that last jump! WOW, THIS 3s Buddy sure took a beating there is no doubt about it.
Man you’re a gentleman and good guy
Great mindset man!! As a father , I love when my kids show interest in my RC toys! They giggle and yell when I send it or it crashes! Lol
Nice video bro love the patience with the kids 👌 outstanding 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
awesome vid! some gnarly jumps and only one breakage! Pat on the back for arrma;)
nice vid man and cool jumps. lots of air time with great backflips. 😎👍👍

Wow awesome jumps brother
Good jumping there bud, just ordered this myself - hope I can find somewhere like this close to me 👍

GREAT VIDEO
Nice🙂👍 Just got a 3s typhon yesterday. Gonna drive it tomorrow. But i wish i live a place where it is a bmx/ rc track:)
Awesome vid per usual!
I had a 20t in 3S typhon, it kept on overheating so downgraded to 18t let’s see how that goes. It doesn’t help that Texas temp right now is 100+
Any issues you have had running the speed gear and the badlands? Mainly wanting to know about motor temps...
That was quite the crowd! You were like the pied Piper, lol 😀 You got some really good air and some sweet backflips 👍
Thanks man, I was a bit surprised by how many kids turned up in the end. And I think the parents were only too happy to get some alone time, too. Haha
My vendetta has the same problem wow thanks I have typhon s 3 like your been running for December no problem I don't jump nor bash it one minor role when had it set on high punch but since I been doing med punch not and issue
Awesome MATE!!!!!! 🤙
Nice vid mate
Well, I usually have rude bikers at my track. They try and run over my cars and tbh its just kinda weird. Nice video, ill prolly get a typhon soon.
Very nice that car is awesome
Was interested in getting one but which one do u prefer. 3s or 6s. Dont need it to do mass jumps. But bashing of corse. Thanks
I got the mega and love it hope to be getting this one soon and let my kid have the mega
Mine has ic5 plug....any recommendations on good priced 3s lipos? Im guessing it would use xt90?

Does the 20t make it over heat ?

That gap never gets boring 😵How tuff are these little suckers 💪 it’s always just after the one more jump when it goes pear shaped lol 😁
My old Baja 5b would break just looking at it back in the day, not to mention it was loud as hell. The Typhon is the Tesla of RC cars.
What's the best bang for you're buck shocks that preform well that'll fit this
Can you tell me what lipo charger and battery you use. I can’t find ic5 lipo chagrer

Very nice Bashing... Just bought one my self...now to look for BMX tracks lol
Google and Google maps. 😉
@@AussieRCPlayground yeah found one thanks
All it takes is one memory of RC and that kid could go on to be RC attic’s like us
Great video! I have a question though, When it was stopping, was that Thermal Cutoff of the ESC? or was it something else?
It was the on/off switch, it was turning itself off.
Thank you for the nice comment. 😊
How are the temps?

dude that was crazy. to bad it broke but then again that was a hard it.
Hey vas how qre are you how have you set up the shockers with the spacers on the 3s typhon thanks
Great video, mate......what runtime ya getting?
Great air control!! I'm torn between this buggy and new Rival MT10..... Where I most drive-terrain and locations, 99.9% bashing--I do hit local tracks sometimes to bash on track environments, LOL I'm leaning towards the Rival MT10, but absolutely not a track worthy rc....
How long does the battery last
what should I get 3s or 6s
hi-did you know what size +- the box is?
So you think a 20t for all around offroad and onroad on my Typhon 3s V3 which has a motor fan be ok?
Yeah, I've used mine like this for a while and haven't had any issues yet.
Did anyone notice the kid with the scooter fall when he landed 😂 at 6:10
Hey Vas, I am highly doubting between the Kraton 4x4 4s and the 6s version. Don't want to spend too much money, so do you think the 6s is worth the extra money? Loved the vid btw
Go with the 4S version if you're on a budget, it's still a beast of a car and very capable. You won't regret it. 😉
Goin big homey!! Yeehaaa 💜💩🤘
Nice driving bro 👍
The minie Ausies!!!😅
Cool 👍🚘
SMEWTH DRIVIN M8!
Correct badlands link?
I put larger tires on my 3s and changed out the factory plastic gears for metal. She runs far better now. And the larger tires make a world of difference for this car. Those little ones they put on it were just to small for real fun
Which tyres are you running?
Hello, I want to purchase this but there are two versions? what is the difference between the
Arma typhon 3S BLX Brushless RTR 1/8 4WD BUGGY W/Spektrum 2.4GHz Radio vs Arma Typhon V3 3S BLX Brushless RTR 1/8 4WD Buggy w/ Spektrum SLT3 2.4Ghz Radio
Is it just the radio?
one is 299 one is 319?

that's the only thing you do torture the RC in all your videos
Well that's not true, not even a little bit. So what do you want me to do with them then, dance with them? LOL.
How dare those kids being at the BMX track LOL
The kids are awesome in this I think the 3s is better than the 6s that power is ridiculous
That
That's definitely not a torture test. 😂 I've see it endure much worse
