I cant believe all the cool upgrades that are available for the Typhon Grom. I wonder if stainless bolts would be stronger and not break as easy. All I can say is you sure are going all out on your Typhon and it really looks nice. Thanks for sharing all the upgrades and cool advice on what you had to go through to get everything to fit up correctly. Awesome job buddy. 🏆
thank you bro. I appreciate that. I wish they did have a specific stainless steel bolt kit for the groms, I think they do but im not 100%. I told a buddy of mine to do the same thing if your looking to go billet, get steel screw kit, save the headache of having the screws break. I have changed my hubs 2x on both groms because of broken screws. I still have a body to paint for the blue grom one thats coming up next. I'm going silver!
@@MrMeDos Honestly bolts shouldn't break off so easily. None of my cars came with stainless hardware and it sucks when they rust after the first time they see any water. You might not be able to find a stainless set for the grom but you can buy stainless hardware separately in different sizes. Figuring out the lengths and head types is a PITA but it's worth the effort. I cant wait to see how nice your Grom looks in silver.
I am never really a fan of aluminum A-Arms but considering the short arms on this, maybe they won't bend? The added weight up front could be helpful for speed runs! Are the tolerances good or have you introduced a bit of slop? I found with those amazon adjustable camber links and steering rods, some rubber O rings on the pill balls or whatever they are called really help to eliminate any slop.
What’s up Mr. Me Dos. The red joint is looking good dressed in black, love that TrailBoss too. I installed those arrma shocks today too. Put them on stock out of the package but took them off right away and put some 70wt oil. They still felt a bit bouncy so I ended up putting 100wt in the rear, left the 70wt up front, and put the stock shocks springs on the upgraded shocks. Stock springs are a little bit shorter and let the car settle down a bit instead of being fully extended at rest. Just my observations and thought I’d share.
Your right, the shocks could use thicker oil fresh out the bag. I mixed mine with diff fluid , got my special sauce. But the all red shocks i had leaked out overtime and i just said forget it and slapped these arrma joints on. Lol
I beat you to a new body by 3 days! Loving the typhon grom content tho. Hoping some aftermarket companies start making good parts for them (diffs mostly but also shock tower strentgthening, etc)
Looks good, I like the color scheme. Where did you get the red suspension arms? Everything i find shows its for the granite grom... are they the same parts?
yup, they are the same.. Mohave is different though.. Stay away from mohave suspension parts they do not fit typhon or granite unless you change everything
Its all good bro. I'm rebuilding it this week.. minor setback for a major comeback! God is Good, I'm blessed to be in this position to rebuild.. It will be back on the channel soon.
The spur/ pinion i got from my local hobby shop. Its made by hot racing. Im sure you can find it on ebay if your local shop doesnt have it. I dont believe horizon hobby or amainhobbies sell it on their site.
Bro that gray car believe you said it’s an impala bad ass

Do you have a forum you post the items you put on your cars? I like watching your videos I keep tearing my typhon up so I upgrade watching your videos
No forum bro.. just communicating like this. I will supply any knowledge i have through direct contact. Allows me to interact with you guys.

yup, they are the same.. Mohave is different though.. Stay away from mohave suspension parts they do not fit typhon or granite unless you change everything
Awesome, thanks for the info. Im going to start ordering parts asap

Whats that plate u have on the front? How can I get one?
Thats a rpm front bumper from a losi mini-t 2.0 buggy.. they sell them on amazon for 11-13 bucks.
Does the mamba micro run to hot?
Depends on what motor and gearing. But it can get pretty hot. Cool thing its sensored so it will thermo cutoff to save your esc.
