My Senton 3sBLX has the same issue with the driveline rubbing the heatsink. I have replaced it twice now, so I am definely going to the Aluminum thinner, perhaps stronger driveline. Good presentation.
Thanks, I'm happy you found this useful. I've gotten way more use out of this car since I got that driveshaft. Its my personal favorite upgrade for the Arrma 3/4s cars.
Take a look at PTH2410CB tires, I just put them on my Typhon 6s and WOW, what a unit! The stance is awesome, I am going to a track here in CA Saturday, should be awesome.
Amen to that! This was the first time in ages that I actually got 2 full packs through it and no breakages. Might have to get it out more often again. 😆
I have granite senton and a typhon no driveline issues but i drive in dirt and grass or large rocks that don't get stuck in there no issues good to know there's a upgrade out there if i run into it thou!
Yeah if you're not running in heavy gravel areas like me, this shaft is almost useless. But for a person who only has gravel options to bash in, this is a game changer. Never used to get a single full in this car until without driveshaft breaking from the gravel. I stopped driving the car for over a year cause the problem was so often reoccurring. Luckily rcawd was kind enough to send this out for me to try. Now my little 3s typhon is unstoppable.. well almost 😆 🤣
i love my typhon 3s but run into problems every run. i cant go one bashing session without stripping a diff, and my slipper clutch always comes loose. mainly drivetrain related issues with this car. i even bought a $80 RCAWD metal diff with the case and carrier and i stripped that out in a couple runs. super disapointing. great video by the way!
Those RCAWD metal diffs are 💩! They make yokes for the plastic 3s diffs, those will help tremendously. For the slipper, I recommend a 4s slipper. They have extra plates and metal spur. I would suggest getting the arrma one cause the rcawd version isn't that great. Those are the parts I used to reduce the same problems you described.
Yeah, they sent me a set to do a video on. They're mad I didn't do the video cause I didn't like the product. I showed them how it broke on the first jump. Told them I can't promote something I wouldn't install in my own rc.
I have a world champion MUgen truggy, a bunch of 6s Arrma’s, 2 Tekno, 2 Serpents, kyosho, Team Associated, Ho Bao, and a Losi DB Pro which was a ton of channels favorite RC of 2019 and its a proven legendary platform and yet the 3s Typhon is one of my all time favorite rigs, BUT I don’t drive it on grave rocks!!!! And I’ve been very lucky and drive very well. 👊
Nice list! So many fun cars in your fleet! Yeah man the 3s typhon is such a great car and great value for what it is. Was my 3rd ever rc, but my first buggy. Loved the handling but the gravel cursed me and horrible driving style. Thanks for stopping by the channel.
While that is a nice upgrade for the 3/4s line, this isn't a car I want to throw that much more money at. I solved a few problem areas and now it's a solid unit. Performs majestically every time I take it out with no breakages.

I thought about trying to attach something like that to the motor heatsink, but then decided, if I'm going to something about this problem I've had for 3+ years, I'm going to solve the right way. Metal is far superior to plastic propshaft, and the foam is prone dryrotting. The choice of solving the problem in the long term is clear and obvious. Metal propshaft is the winner.
I tried them once, wasn't happy with them. I don't like the way those nets tap in heat and restrict fresh air from circulating. If they work out well for you, that's awesome, but I didn't like the rising temps I saw with it so I ditched it.
Man i feel like their quality is just iffy. My 3S blx hasnt broken one time but my 6s is broken all the time. Every single time i drive it lol. I just put the 20T pinion in my 3s and its plenty fast so i think im gonna let the 6S go and upgrade the 3S more. I love the typhons.
Have you ever used their stuff? Their quality in the past few years has drastically improved. Their shocks have gotten amazing for the price too. As for the Arrma 6s line; don't get me started on the worst car I ever had! I have a K6exb, the only trick that car can do successfully is break. 😆 🤣
I absolutely love my 3s Typhon, I live on a gravel road so I know all about those damn little rocks. I got a chassis bag, no more rocks or debris getting in. It has zippers down both sides, Velcro holding it to the chassis sides, really saves on the clean up time. Fine dust particles is all that gets thru.
@@davidmckee2142 I've ran the debris nets. I'm just not a fan of how they don't allow the heat from the electrics to escape. They trap in heat very badly. And being I live in a place where it often gets over 100° I'm not chancing burning up my electronics.
@@captaincouldverc I didn't have any heat issues when it was all stock. But after some bigger tires and pinion I had to remove mine as well. I thought about cutting holes over the fans and adding a few more vents tho maybe that will work. I was always finding grass clippings and stuff right over the fans like a clogged filter.
That squealing is actually motor bearings failing. And the spur mesh was a bit tight in this session. Replaced the bearings last weekend and it's much less noisey now. But the diffs are fine and have been great since the HR yokes were installed. They were taken apart last weekend aswell, they are still in fantastic shape.
If you kill your diffs - its those bigger wheels. Stick with 1/8 buggy wheels. The squealing is the crappy stock slipper - the new center diff takes care of that, handles much better, and more even tire wear.
@@roadrunnerorange If you're having diff issues and want to run bigger tires, go get some aluminum yokes. You would be surprised how strong these plastic diffs are. The best 3s diff upgrade is getting aluminum yokes. Once I replaced those a few years ago, I never had diff issue again on my 3s typhon with these tires.
@@GamezOfWar I did that before I did the yokes and still had problems. Could've been exacerbated by the heavy mx28 tires. But once I changed it the plastic diff yokes, every diff problem I had went away. Still running 1 plastic input too. The plastic yokes flex, and the yokes are what keep your input gear properly meshed with the crown gear. Lose the mesh, lose your gear. Replacing them with aluminum was something I wish I would've done sooner.
I have it at stock settings. This car I don't want to make too fast cause it's the car I let all the youngsters drive. I let them start it in 2s and work up to 3s and it seems to be a great learning car due to its majestic handling.
I stopped using dust covers on most cars cause it traps the heat in. Where I live, we see alot of really hot days, so I try to make sure all my cars run as cool as possible.
I'm not a boring pavement princess kiddo. Go find somebody else to dictate how YOU want them to drive toys that aren't YOURS. I ain't the guy you can tell what to do scamp. These are my cars and I couldn't care less that a silly Rando disapproves of my upgrades and style of fun. Have blessed day.

Cool video man. I am currently converting my Typhon 3s back to a basher so Ill have to look into that driveshaft option
Yeah this driveshaft is my favorite upgrade for any 3s/4s Arrma.
Definitely a must-have if your bashing in gravel or rocky dirt.
The 3s Typhon is a blast to run and you are right after u put in all the upgrades it is so much better to run
Amen to that!
This was the first time in ages that I actually got 2 full packs through it and no breakages.
Might have to get it out more often again. 😆
Cool upgrade, I ve had problems with rocks also. Personally i think your slipper is set how I like it. It sltill wheelies which is important!
Thanks buddy. They're on sale right now and they have a center shaft for all 3/4s cars.
Being called a majestic bastard earned you an instant sub.
Now that's a majestic bassterd move right there!
