Your initial reaction when pulling the buggy out of the box is the definition of what people mean by "like a kid on Christmas morning!" Your passion for this hobby is unrivaled. Thank you for all you do for the RC community Vas! 👊🏻👍🏻👊🏻👍🏻
Spektrum just needs to go back to the DSM DSMR receivers again. I know that spektrum wants to save money and came up with these "beginner" remotes but those people (like myself) that have spent the money on a nice spektrum remote, it's really unfortunate that you need to spend more money to bind a Dx6r or Dx4r to this vehicle. Awesome review.😎👍
Awesome 2019 Arrma updates! However, thank you for highlighting that the Spektrum radios included in these new Arrmas are FHSS and are not compatible with the higher end Spekrum radios or any DSM protocol receivers. I already heard the cries from fans when this occurred on the new Axial RC models.. now it's occurring for Arrma's too. There will be many confused and upset customers who want to upgrade their Spekrum radio and later find out they need to swap out and buy a new Receiver too!
I haven't used this radio, but I would be interested in knowing why you think the DSM protocol is better than FHSS? From what I understood you meant to say you prefer DSM technology over the FHSS because you the high end transmitters that support DSM.
Bro I just got goosebumps with ur reaction but because I literally have just opend mine! Smiling ear to ear....... they truly make some outstanding “in a league of their own” rc beasts. Just got to work out how this editing of footage works because theres hours ready to edit hahaha.
Nice improvements. I've been one of those guys that had the servo saver loosen off on my outcast but on my typhon I've never had an issue. Nice to see that Arrma listens to its customers and they keep slowly evolving an already awesome product!!
Another wonderful unboxing Brother 👊!!!! I'm ecstatic about the new changes (minus the cheap feeling radio and Mega wheel👀🤣🤣). Decided to try and adapt and overcome (or promptly drop a spare Tactic into it) 🤫. But seriously, I LOVE this new look with the V4 Typhon and think the mini Katars will absolutely rip on there. 🍻🤘🤘😎💪👊👊
I'm very pleased to see that they transit to EC5 connectors. I can't say anything about the radio since I didn't see it in person, but a damn antenna in 2019? That's a regression. I'll wait to see what changes will come with the Senton v4 (if it will ever exist) to decide if I pick up a v3 or v4. Thanks for the instructive video again.
@@AussieRCPlayground haha! Fairly certain it's gunna be 0:57 onwards 😂😂 "haw...hawwwww...huhuhuhawww" can't wait to see both new arrmas fly mate 👌 enjoy!
Good on you Vas! Sweet in boxing review and way to go on voicing your opinion on something like the radio, which I completely agree with your point of view on that. That TTX300 is so simple and so good, it just works really well and I cannot see that Spektrum radio costing any less to manufacture than the TTX300 so I really do not think this was a smart move by Horizon. Arrma has tonnes of momentum right now in the marketplace which is difficult to get in the first place with consumers especially in today's economy and to lose some of that to such a stupid mistake is ill advised in my opinion. Horizon can call their friends at Traxxas and ask about what that is like and how difficult that can be to overcome. As the old adage goes, "If it is not broke, do not fix it!" Take care dude ✌
Thankyou again for the honest review Vas... You are a natural doing this stuff... Big plus on the radios... for a 70+Mph car you have to have a good link... then again.. it all comes down to cost... This is my next purchase full stop....some of the vids I've seen this thing is bomb proof!! ...Yikes... and super fast!!!
@@joshchatwin8179 While I hate Traxxas as much as the next real RC hobbyist, I can pretty much assure you that Traxxas will not go anywhere soon. While just about everything they build is toygrade and based on very old platforms, they do have a huge following. You have to remember that a lot of people like to drive RC cars, but they are not RC hobbyists.
@@AB-80X well said. The sad truth. Plus brand loyalty from people who grew up on them. But arrma has definitely hurt their pockets and is putting pressure on them. Not to mention Lhs are pretty much forced to peddle their crap due to the parts market too. Think about it Lhs probably don't make much money on selling arrma parts cause they are so tough while traxxas that isn't hobby grade imo are breaking all the time! So sadly you are right, we are stuck with them.
Can the Typhon bash? It seems great and really stable but I would like to know if I can run anywhere like I normally do? Grass, dirt, general off roading etc. If it needs to be on that track to run well, then I would want to pick something else.
Yahoo! I’m just a total beginner and have just bought my first rc car, it’s the Arrma 3s 4x4 , SENTON.in my box I noticed a little rubber/cap, I haven’t been able to run it yet as I wasn’t able to buy some LiPo batteries and charger at the same time. So I was puzzled what this little piece was off. Whilst watching this video, you came to the bit about the aerial and I saw it was capped, the one on the SENTON doesn’t poke through but whipping the lid off I found it, and yes it was missing it’s cap. It’s back on now, I’m puzzled as to what the cap actually does? Probably nothing but I like things in there place. Thanks for the lessons I’m binge watching as many as I can! God Bless x
Couple questions about the new receiver and transmitter: 1. Isn't the TTX300 also a FHSS radio? So, while it may be a missed chance for an upgrade, it is the same as the old radio. 2. What voltage range does the new Receiver support? Any better/worse than the TR326? 3. Does the new Transmitter have left/right endpoint adjustment like the TTX300, or is it just the steering trim knob? 4. Is the range any better or worse? I might be willing to accept the new radio as more than just 'it was the in-house brand so we used it' if it actually improves on some objective level over the TTX300 setup.
Good questions, I'll try and answer what I know.... 1. Even though is FHSS it won't bind to the Tactic radio as they are a different brand. In general, different brand receivers won't bind to different radios, they "speak" their own language. 2. I believe the voltage is the same. 3. No steering end point adjustments, just steering dual rates. 4. Haven't tested it, but I doubt it will be any better. Hope that helps.
I know I'm late to comment, But This new Typhon is an absolute BEAST!! So many new upgrades! Annnnd the cherry on top..NEW WING!!😜Just picked up the new Kraton..Can't wait to get her out! Great unboxing Vas!!😎👊👍🤘🤘
I understand that everyone having mixed feelings about the controller but thank god for horizon to step up to the plate and help arrma. They are here to stay and killing the rtr rcs!!!!
Why why why did they change out the tactic ttx300? Big mistake I think. I feel in upgrading the v3 to this buggy, they took a big step BACK with the spectrum radio system. If it aint broke, dont fix it. Otherwise, very nice! On a side note, I would love to see a 4s line, and I dont think I'm the only one. Hint hint arrma! 😆
@@ace73pq well no shit cause they bough Axial lol but I'm saying they don't Put tactic in anything so of course they're convert to what they do use and started and that's spektrum.
Dude i love your reaction when you seen the box haha. And i like the matte finish kinda like the senton body. But what is up with that radio seems like a downgrade it doesn't even have padding on the wheel i feel like they went backwards with the radio/receiver..
Very informative Vas! Looking at getting 1/8 buggy and so many brands out there to choose. How is this typhon compare to buggies of the same class from Hobao, Team Associated, Kyosho, Duratrax, HPI(not sure if still exist)….or other brands you know?
go with the arrma as I have heard h.p.i. is hard to get parts for as they were just taking over by a new company . It is some times hard to get parts for my h.p.i. jumpshot. i have the last version of the typhon and just bought it a couple of months ago. This thing is a beast. after about 2 months of backyard bashing and track I have had only 2 problems. 1) bolt broke holding shock onto shock tower 2) I thought i blew the rear diff. but it was only a bearing so the rear diff survived. 3) not a problem yet but the ball ends are starting to strip and pull out of lower front control arm. I have been very impressed with this buggy and how well it is holding up. i like this one so much I am thinking of buying this version as well. That way my employee and I can race with "equal " cars. as mentioned the remote sucks. the same one came with the ecx ruckus 2wd I bought for my daughter. I really dislike the feel of it with that car. I can not imagine I am going to change my mind with this car. look like it is time to get myself a good remote
Is it different from the version before it and the same extent to withstand the strikes and fractions same version v3 Prophet detailed explanation and whether the spare parts installed previous versions
I really don’t like the sticky out antenna 😢 it really detracts from the look IMO.. great balanced video as always. I do like that Arrma appear to take notice of constructive criticism. While the antenna and transmitter are issues, I don’t think they will effect sales too much but I guess we will see. I will probably still buy the Yohin
That FHSS radio sucks my buddy has one on his ECX Torment thing goes out of range easy. Not good on a 70mph car what are they trying to be like Traxxas now ?
This is awesome Vas that the new Riggs that came out and wow you got two of them. Maybe the Typhon you can truggy fide if I see how that run later on. Nevertheless awesome video yes when you interview Jason it is truly EPIC!! They're going to sell like hotcakes ARRMA DID IT AGAIN 😁😁🙋♂️💪💪👊👊👍👍👏👏
I still come back to this video all the time I want the Typhon 6S V4 so bad haha. I am selling a couple rc and I’m even thinking to sell the HPI Vorza Flux as it’s hard to get parts for it and isn’t cheap and then I’ll buy one of these. Otherwise I’ll just beating until end of August or so to get mine. Great video Vas. Awesome buggy 🤘🇨🇦🍻
Just catching all the reviews I can before puking the trigger in a few month. Do you think they will swap out the radio? Just binned my STX2 it was proper pants! Great review 👊
@@AussieRCPlayground let's hope so! I had one run away with my k6, laggy steering and no brakes on 50%! Swapped it out and my end points were shocking. 75% turn on one wheel 35% in the other! No wonder people are going through servos..
Great video and I totally agree. Transmitter is trash and sucks I have to buy additional parts to enjoy this awesome truck. Arrma is still amazing but dammit radio.
Just one other thing you missed I know I’m a newbie but like I said I’ve been binging to learn as much as possible, I’ve recently watched one where he was slating the battery tray ends and the lack of a retaining strap to stop forward/backwards movement of the battery. Looking at yours it seems that they have fitted one. I’m liking this car more and more but it’s hard to justify another one to my wife when I haven’t even played with my first toy. Lol
great review as always bud. i just wish the wheels on the transmitter had a little foam on it so it wouldnt feel so cheap.i actually have the dx2e that came with my losi tenacity T i was able to steal the foam off my dramada 1/18 scale cheap RC truck and it made it feel like a whole new transmitter.it would be awesome if they could make the tension on the throttle be adjustable like with the dx6 and other airplane transmitters and mini quad transmitter like our qx7's. then it would be a great transmitter. im hoping to get either an outcast or kraton in the next couple weeks and im hoping my local shop still have a couple with the tactic setup.thanks for sharing buddy and i look forward to a running video
Wawoooo thats a very sick look and shape i really loved this one more than all previous versions, one thing here you always kill me in choosing between this one and the kraton or the outcast, one time give your advice and just help us make a straight decision plz... thank you for this great video. Well done.
When can I buy v4 notorious because I have been saving for another arrma just can’t decide on which arrma I will get next. I need more arrma in my life! The v4 is a game changer can’t wait for the whole line up
I completely agree with you on the radio. I absolutely hate them. Its unfortunate that Arrma / Horizon had to mess with a good thing and change the radio, receiver, and connectors. Because of that, I'm in no hurry to purchase these 2019 models. Nonetheless, great video Vas!!!!! 👍👍👏👏😎😎
Vas, your video on in background just bc it's on auto play , ironically I may get typhon is lhs dont have db pro in stock wanted tell you I used foam off old traxxas radios for the the dx3
Not going to lie, I'm kind of pissed about that spektrum radio. @ Vas, you convinced me to go XT150 battery connectors back in 2016 with one of your vids. Do you still recommend/run XT150 or do you think i should convert to EC5? As always thank you for you time and effort on these vids!
Hi Claudio, yeah, still using XT150 connectors for all my 1/8 scale stuff and mostly use XT60 for my 1/10 scale stuff. Nothing wrong with the EC5 or IC5 connectors, but I keep just the 2 types to keep things simple with my RCs. To switch or not to switch is up to you. Cheers for watching and for the feedback. 😊👍
Great video! Good thoughts on the radio(I have no problems with it, but I agree with you and liked the tactic better), you tell'em Vas, keeping it real politely!😂"don't sit in a heat squad" haha! Much love always! I'm always happy to see more of your videos!✌💪😎🔥💯🍻....LOL! Talk about them bubbles baby!(most thorough reviewer of all time👏👏) 😂😂😂❤..PS. I loved your initial reaction....I heard the XT90's work with EC5 connectors, is this true?
Not really. The XT90 plugs are 4mm, but the EC5 are 5mm. However, you can plug a male XT30 into a female EC3 (with a bit of force), but you can't plug a male EC3 into a female XT30. So maybe that's where the confusion comes from...? Thank you for the kind words about the video, I try my best to be balanced when talking about the products I unbox, so really appreciate the feedback. 🙂
@@AussieRCPlayground No problem my friend, you deserve it. I recognize you know your stuff better than most. So i don't mind paying the extra money(price increase) to support a company(ARRMA) who you support and really tries humbly to be the best!😉✌Have a great day!
Hey guys, as always a great review, I just purchased one ☝️. I did buy 2 spectrum 3s 5000-50c batteries that the hobby store said would fit. Apparently they don’t! The fit on the try but hit the body severely, wondering if you’re aware of this, and is there a fix to run two 3s batteries? Maybe I have to go to a lower mil amp 4000 might be skinnier, but nobody wants to get smaller anything rite!! Lol
Love the new car's, but I won't be using that radios. Bummer we can't bind it with our other spectrum radio. But otherwise super stoked 🏁🏁👻👍👍👍. Thanks I just can't decide what's next, Typhon or Tailon. We have a Kraton and Senton. Thank for the update and thank you Arrma and Horizon 👍👍🏁.just looked at new pricing, I am going with Typhon this round, because it's 70 bucks cheaper. That's more in my price range.
Any info wld be helpful... Owned a Thypon 3s for 1month. esc beeping when throttle down, fan works when i wants, motor was noiser than usual, not rolling freely. 🤬 Emailed arrma and still no response 🤷🏾♂️
If the car isn't rolling freely then there's something stopping it from doing so. Maybe gear mess was too tight and motor is ceased? Maybe something else is jamming driveline and is causing it to not roll flreely... You will need to troubleshoot this yourself, but if ESC isn't working then my guess is your motor might be dead. Without seeing the car and testing it personally, it will be hard to diagnose online. Sorry, good luck.
2 things they should offer as alternative rtr. Optional connectors for all the xt90 arrma customers. Also they should offer a kit version without tires and electronics.
I don't think offering these cars with XT90 connectors will ever happen again, you can just buy the connectors of your choice and install them. However, the kit version idea may have some merit and I wouldn't rule it out in future versions... Whether they will do it or not remains to be seen, but to have that as an option would be awesome.
i would like a kit with better quality products or options that i build myself for the same price. i rather build it myself sometimes so you know it was done right. but right now rtr is the way i go do to time
Had a DX2E and hated it, and this is worse. Don't have a TTX300 but was considering buying it after I tried it on a buddies Wraith. Brilliant ergonomics for an RTR radio.

If you change out your receiver with another spectrum, make sure sure it's not AVC compatible cuz they won't work with the stock servo.

The spektrum radio could've been decent but they are too lazy to put a simple piece of rubber or foam on the wheel. How hard could that be?
Cause tactic isn't their radio. Spektrum is. But we did get a low end one lol could of got the dx2e at minimum
@ Bash Master Flex If you go to the Tactic website, you will see on the bottom, Horizon Hobby... Yes, they bought Tactic too!

I am selling a couple rc and I’m even thinking to sell the HPI Vorza Flux as it’s hard to get parts for it and isn’t cheap and then I’ll buy one of these. Otherwise I’ll just beating until end of August or so to get mine. Great video Vas. Awesome buggy 🤘🇨🇦🍻
Thank you very much. 😊👍
Typhon is definitely one of the better buggies out there, especially when you consider the price. 💪😁
Atta boy. Great unboxing fair comments and I'd be surprised if Jason, Arrma, or horizon hobby would be offended.
Does it come with a battery? If it doesn’t what kind of batter and what volts?
Just catching all the reviews I can before puking the trigger in a few month. Do you think they will swap out the radio? Just binned my STX2 it was proper pants! Great review 👊
I think they will change the radio, but I don't know when.
@@AussieRCPlayground let's hope so! I had one run away with my k6, laggy steering and no brakes on 50%! Swapped it out and my end points were shocking. 75% turn on one wheel 35% in the other! No wonder people are going through servos..
That stealthy look is insane, Take my damn money ARRMA
Agree 100% on the radio, only letdown for me. I don't even think you can bind that receiver to a futaba that uses a FHSS protocol.
Yea, I was hopping it would bind to Futaba FHSS always looking for a cheap FHSS rx to run on bashers.
Great video and I totally agree. Transmitter is trash and sucks I have to buy additional parts to enjoy this awesome truck. Arrma is still amazing but dammit radio.
Just one other thing you missed I know I’m a newbie but like I said I’ve been binging to learn as much as possible, I’ve recently watched one where he was slating the battery tray ends and the lack of a retaining strap to stop forward/backwards movement of the battery. Looking at yours it seems that they have fitted one. I’m liking this car more and more but it’s hard to justify another one to my wife when I haven’t even played with my first toy. Lol
Yes your theory is correct. Senton and typhon have a different gear ratio because of the other diffgears
Is it the 43/13t thhat was on the V3 ?
100% agree. Id rather see a ARTR version so I could use my radio systems and not have to pay for something that wont be used since day 1...
So freakin cool my friend can't wait to get my hands on this buggy awesome unveiling happy bashing my friend👍👍🤙😎🤪😜😝🙈🙉🙊👊✌
Thank you so much man. I'm sure you'll love it, this buggy is just gorgeous. 😀💪💪
Does anyone know how to adjust the servo saver on these new Arrmas? Or are they no longer adjustable?
Love arrma talion 6s is my favorite
great review as always bud. i just wish the wheels on the transmitter had a little foam on it so it wouldnt feel so cheap.i actually have the dx2e that came with my losi tenacity T i was able to steal the foam off my dramada 1/18 scale cheap RC truck and it made it feel like a whole new transmitter.it would be awesome if they could make the tension on the throttle be adjustable like with the dx6 and other airplane transmitters and mini quad transmitter like our qx7's. then it would be a great transmitter. im hoping to get either an outcast or kraton in the next couple weeks and im hoping my local shop still have a couple with the tactic setup.thanks for sharing buddy and i look forward to a running video
Wawoooo thats a very sick look and shape i really loved this one more than all previous versions, one thing here you always kill me in choosing between this one and the kraton or the outcast, one time give your advice and just help us make a straight decision plz... thank you for this great video. Well done.
Why did you delete the cons of the radio?
When can I buy v4 notorious because I have been saving for another arrma just can’t decide on which arrma I will get next. I need more arrma in my life! The v4 is a game changer can’t wait for the whole line up
should have stuck with tactic instead of a rebranded budget radio.what was they thinking.
Excellent Arrma racing wonderful twist🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I completely agree with you on the radio. I absolutely hate them. Its unfortunate that Arrma / Horizon had to mess with a good thing and change the radio, receiver, and connectors. Because of that, I'm in no hurry to purchase these 2019 models. Nonetheless, great video Vas!!!!! 👍👍👏👏😎😎
Cannot wait to get this soon
I knew it! I knew it! I knew it! I said it when you did the unboxing video for the 3S Typhon
Awesome looking buggy!!
Vas, your video on in background just bc it's on auto play , ironically I may get typhon is lhs dont have db pro in stock wanted tell you I used foam off old traxxas radios for the the dx3
Turned into a decent radio
My first RC car
Does it actually look like a 1/8 scale in person??
Not going to lie, I'm kind of pissed about that spektrum radio. @ Vas, you convinced me to go XT150 battery connectors back in 2016 with one of your vids. Do you still recommend/run XT150 or do you think i should convert to EC5? As always thank you for you time and effort on these vids!
Hi Claudio, yeah, still using XT150 connectors for all my 1/8 scale stuff and mostly use XT60 for my 1/10 scale stuff. Nothing wrong with the EC5 or IC5 connectors, but I keep just the 2 types to keep things simple with my RCs. To switch or not to switch is up to you.
Cheers for watching and for the feedback. 😊👍
Great video! Good thoughts on the radio(I have no problems with it, but I agree with you and liked the tactic better), you tell'em Vas, keeping it real politely!😂"don't sit in a heat squad" haha! Much love always! I'm always happy to see more of your videos!✌💪😎🔥💯🍻....LOL! Talk about them bubbles baby!(most thorough reviewer of all time👏👏) 😂😂😂❤..PS. I loved your initial reaction....I heard the XT90's work with EC5 connectors, is this true?
Not really. The XT90 plugs are 4mm, but the EC5 are 5mm. However, you can plug a male XT30 into a female EC3 (with a bit of force), but you can't plug a male EC3 into a female XT30. So maybe that's where the confusion comes from...?
Thank you for the kind words about the video, I try my best to be balanced when talking about the products I unbox, so really appreciate the feedback. 🙂
@@AussieRCPlayground No problem my friend, you deserve it. I recognize you know your stuff better than most. So i don't mind paying the extra money(price increase) to support a company(ARRMA) who you support and really tries humbly to be the best!😉✌Have a great day!
Does it come with a battery and charger?
Hey guys, as always a great review, I just purchased one ☝️.
I did buy 2 spectrum 3s 5000-50c batteries that the hobby store said would fit. Apparently they don’t!
The fit on the try but hit the body severely, wondering if you’re aware of this, and is there a fix to run two 3s batteries? Maybe I have to go to a lower mil amp 4000 might be skinnier, but nobody wants to get smaller anything rite!!
Lol
Has anyone heard about when spare parts are gonna be available? Screw the car I want the new motor mount & T2T brace.
Dang that is a work of art. 👊👽👍
Ur reaction is gonna be recorded for Jasons inspiration like last time LOL
Funny I’m going to buy the radio for my version 2 outcast so my son can use it. 👍🤪
Love the new car's, but I won't be using that radios. Bummer we can't bind it with our other spectrum radio. But otherwise super stoked 🏁🏁👻👍👍👍. Thanks I just can't decide what's next, Typhon or Tailon. We have a Kraton and Senton. Thank for the update and thank you Arrma and Horizon 👍👍🏁.just looked at new pricing, I am going with Typhon this round, because it's 70 bucks cheaper. That's more in my price range.
beautiful car. love the matte body!
Hate the radio, crashed my outcast, i let off throttle and it kept going for another 1 second and it crashed on the roof
Ill b getting one Arrma All Day
Like a kid in candy store hey Vass!
Any info wld be helpful...
Owned a Thypon 3s for 1month.
esc beeping when throttle down, fan works when i wants, motor was noiser than usual, not rolling freely. 🤬
Emailed arrma and still no response 🤷🏾♂️
Put It in the arrma forum I can't help you sorry!!!
If the car isn't rolling freely then there's something stopping it from doing so. Maybe gear mess was too tight and motor is ceased? Maybe something else is jamming driveline and is causing it to not roll flreely... You will need to troubleshoot this yourself, but if ESC isn't working then my guess is your motor might be dead.
Without seeing the car and testing it personally, it will be hard to diagnose online. Sorry, good luck.
@@ELValenin 👍🏾
And why don't i see the senton on the manual??? I hope the make a v4 senton. Orrr a 1/6 senton to compete with the udr or sbr..
Man,a 1/6th senton would be EPIC!!
When are these available for purchase?
Great video!
No decals on the wing?
Sir are this use slipper clutch ?
2 things they should offer as alternative rtr. Optional connectors for all the xt90 arrma customers. Also they should offer a kit version without tires and electronics.
I don't think offering these cars with XT90 connectors will ever happen again, you can just buy the connectors of your choice and install them.
However, the kit version idea may have some merit and I wouldn't rule it out in future versions... Whether they will do it or not remains to be seen, but to have that as an option would be awesome.
i would like a kit with better quality products or options that i build myself for the same price.
i rather build it myself sometimes so you know it was done right. but right now rtr is the way i go do to time
As much as I love ARRMA, all the new versions should come with a sticky disclaimer; "Use radio at your own risk, not responsible for runaways, LOLz"
Yup
got a 4x4 outcast 4s. The stickers all are bubble as well
Had a DX2E and hated it, and this is worse. Don't have a TTX300 but was considering buying it after I tried it on a buddies Wraith. Brilliant ergonomics for an RTR radio.
Great as usually 👍
