The Typhon is definitely a strange RC as far as figuring out the handling. You obviously know how far I took my build. I avoided doing those hubs and axles on mine as to not “trugify” it, and I know to truly do that I need to run the K6 arms. I wanted a true Typhon, just upgraded as hell. I still can’t get it tuned so it doesn’t traction roll. I have also never seen a car so affected by tire choice. If I throw 2.8 belted trenchers on it, it’s a bit more fun, if I throw the 2.8 belted badlands on it, it’s completely different. I think I am going to have to go with the regular badlands buggy tires for it, which I have been avoiding because they aren’t belted. I prefer a belted tire. There are a set of belted buggy tires out there by Jetko, but finding somebody who sticks them is a while mother story.
Trim the outer edges of the knobs to more of a slant mainly on the front tyres. I don’t own a typhon but I’ve been using the 2.8 badlands and non stop roll overs until I trimmed the front knobs. Do every second one if you like and the just come up with something to suit your driving and track conditions
Great runs Joe! The 15s are in the works, won't be long even with track conditions being what they are. You'll have it doped out, I got faith in you brother! :)
By widening it, you've also changed your effective spring rate on the shocks... so you might end up needing stiffer springs or at least a big thicker fluid. The squirreliness might have been from the rear swaybar coming undone. Or was it still that way even when you knew it was connected? Congrats on the new record too!
Well kinda but not really. The hinge pins and pivot points are all the same as fast as suspending the vehicle. It does add a little bit more pressure on those pins. In the case of the wide Xmaxx arms yeah it adds a lot of the spring rate due to moving the pivot points further out.
The wider stance looks great and I'd say its rotating better in the corners. A little more time on the setup, and more track time, and you'll be in the 15s, no problem 👍
Just burnt up the plastic gear in my mega brushed typhon few days ago. Picked up a 1900kv motor esc combo and metal gears, just have to order the diff upgrades and few other things to convert to 4s.
truggified i have one like this and one reversed the longer arms with the shorter knuckles and axles . it transforms into to more capable high speed basher
16.2!!! Nice! And you're 16.4 was the lap where you let off! Both laps could have been in the 15s! I swear I think if you got a group of guys who race a lot they could get close to a 15.
Great video... I really like them tires... also I have the same set up on my 6s typhon with the kraton hubs... that's how I truggifed it an fit badland mx 2.8s on I just put a bash video out on it mines also has all the exb option parts.... I think u would like it
Arrma is awesome I’d like to see them get into crawlers with the same energy as bashers. More importantly I’m hoping you can point me in the right direction. I just installed the new Max 8 combo & it looks awesome & everything is connected. And I little history I blew up the original electronics & only the servo worked & the esc only blinked green & had no power. So I replaced with new Max 8 & now with battery connected there’s no servo or any signs of power at the receiver or esc. I’m guessing the receiver & Esc need to bind together with the new electronics. How is that done or am I missing something & it’s something else. HELP!! The Fireteam is sitting with brand new Max 8 in it & I’m dying to get it going. Than you
In the situation you mentioned, there are two possibilities, the first may be that your new Max 8 is in poor contact with the lipo, and the second may be that the lipo does not have sufficient power.
I've done Mojave arms/CVDs all-around on my Typhon along with K6 hubs/axle ends for added strength. & Loved it! Also added Mojave 9lbs springs up front & Doubled the Typhon rear springs. I got mine 2nd hand & it had 15mm-20mm axle extenders on it. Once I threw Mojave wheels on it for bashing I started breaking hubs, blowing bearings & popping pillar balls. It was my only rig so I wanted to Ruggify it a bit for off-road & keep the width for street bashing. With that setup & Felony rear hoons all around or GRPs, she handles like a dream on the street! I even have some adapters for ⅕scale GRPs... I plan on doing a few speed runs just to see what she'll do with a 23t Pinion, plenty of cooling & the stock blx185... I experiment with it so much that it's currently set up with a 29mm center LSD, 1M diff fluid, no front center driveshaft & 1M diff fluid in a stock Typhon open rear... Also 1.5 silicone earplugs in the front with 15k diff fluid. She rips as a RWD BUGGY ON THE STREET! Just have to warm the tires up a bit 1st...😁
What have you done to it to get it so low?- that looks sweet, do you have any tips for how you aligned your wheels as i have a typhon 6s with mojave axels
I've been thinking about turning my typhon into a truggy and I know next to nothing about swapping parts around and this doesn't seem like what I'm going for I don't necessarily want a wider buggy but more truggy.
It's crazy I have found that things that I think are gonna improve something sometimes does not help......some stuff works and some.does not...all we can do is try...

PowerHobby just released belted buggy tires. Planning on trying them on my Typhon 3s at some point.

Hi JOE DEFINITELY GOT 15 to come SIR. Hope you have a great week 🇬🇧🇺🇲🕊️✌🏼👍🏼
Great runs Joe! The 15s are in the works, won't be long even with track conditions being what they are. You'll have it doped out, I got faith in you brother! :)
you can run a truggywheel with the 0 offset or 3-8 too . i thought the opposite with the bearing load , you right i didnt realize

@@ExocagedRC That makes sense! Thanks for the clarification!

Fluffy stuff! I love fluffy stuffed .......stuff👍
I've watched your course so many times i feel i can break 16 with a typhon in my sleep!! hahah just kidding Upvoted!!!!!!!
Dude someone will break into the 15’s soon.
Brilliant video mate love the truck nice lot of power bud 👍👌👏
Damn that thing is smooth
you can definatley get even faster with thicker diff fluid more traction on the straights
Replacing a lipo with a larger C number can also make the Kraton 6s faster. For example sypom 6s lipo.
Great run Joe and a 16.2 for good measure, just awesome man!! 👏👍
Yeah I was surprised to see that
@@ExocagedRC gonna be in the 15's next time i reckon 👌
truggified i have one like this and one reversed the longer arms with the shorter knuckles and axles . it transforms into to more capable high speed basher
All i did was gear down and put 3.8 proline belted mx38 and it does backflips and bashes!!!! upvoted!!!
Ya those tires are the ultimate for truggified typhon , I bought trenches by accident and they smaller
Put some mudguards on the rear arms 🙈

People do this mod for speed runs. You probably should tighten springs tension more with added center of gravity and weight…. Great video
These two methods can really improve the speed.
Why do you only need 2 hexes? That covers the front but not the back hexes you would need?
The sad part is your not racing and what's really sad is their is no one there to race against you!
LoL I open it up on Sundays and yea we race. With multiple vehicles on the track we crash a lot. LoL
when there are more then 2 its a demo derby not a race .
@@ExocagedRC That's good to hear.
@@ExocagedRC sounds very exciting
Nice
Yeah as a racer that's a huge no for me, sure it will be wider but it's not gonna handle as well

Exactly what kraton huns did you put on, exb or v5 version.
Tha k you.
Did you install the kraton front/rear drive shafts also or are they stock?
I was thinking
Going with Mojave arms on a typhon
What do you think
Are they longer? If so that would be the better way to keep steering geometries in check. If they are longer you’ll need the Mojave axles too
I've done Mojave arms/CVDs all-around on my Typhon along with K6 hubs/axle ends for added strength. & Loved it!

& Doubled the Typhon rear springs.

Will this conversion work for the 3s as well?
Congrats on new record Cheater😂 nice video. Need a one handed driver challenge
What have you done to it to get it so low?- that looks sweet, do you have any tips for how you aligned your wheels as i have a typhon 6s with mojave axels

Hi. Will this upgrade work on a 3s? 👍🏿
Track looking better better is it in ur backyard
set up is key with any thing . it ALL matters . want to go fast start talking to the guys who win all the time .
How did you attach the body
The body never changed, its just a typhon
Thx
It's crazy I have found that things that I think are gonna improve something sometimes does not help......some stuff works and some.does not...all we can do is try...
That’s true. All we can do is try. I doubt the width gave me the faster lap but it was there.
@@ExocagedRC or I have found that something may help in one way but not the way I expected...lol..
why only 4s? plus what wheels and tires are those?
4s is much easier to control on a track, and still fast enough to have a good time.
U drive very well bro 🫡
Thank you
Mid 15's easily
I think so too
Go wide in the back.
