239.99 everywhere right now so that's a 100 dollars less then normal. Definetly worth it now. Would make a awesome Christmas 🎁.
OWAOOOO. WHAT A PEOGRAM BEAUTY GOD BLESS YOU MY NAME IS HENRY FROM THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC I WILL SOON BE LIVING IN VIRGINIA AND I WILL NEED YOUR ADVICE ON WHEN I CAN BUY A VORTEK.
May I ask what are the specs on the battery you used?
I don’t really like any of the 3s arrmas. I did get to use the new vendetta the other day (video on my channel / shameless plug) and I did actually like that one! Idk maybe cuz it’s an on road car is why I might like it more…. For my bashers I prefer the metal chassis and shocks …. I got the senton 3s granite 3s and big rock but I’ve gave them all to my kid…. I just think they are suited more for him. Anyway just my opinion. Great video as always bro.
With a few upgrades, it’s a total beast. I can send them far and to stunts with them. Ide modify one and give it a try. Or just get a big rock. You won’t be disappointed.
@@SpeedSyko I have all them. If you read my full comment lol
I have been wanting a second Typhon to go with my Typhon 6S mainly because I’ve put so much Hot Racing and EXB upgrades into it and I’d rather not jump it. Initially I didn’t include the 3S as an option because I figured it would be slow and break like glass but this has completely changed my opinion. I was looking for a used Typhon 6S before and now I’m pretty set on getting the 3S version. Thanks!
The 3s platform from Arrma is tough, straight out of the box it's tough. The 3s version of the Typhon is fast, durable and very controllable. I'm glad I finally added it to my collection. As of right now, it still hasn't broken any parts, but I do have a few recommendations for upgrading it in the future. That video is upcoming. PS, these upgrades will not affect the speed or handling of the car, only the durability, which, over time, can require a few easy steps to repair. Longevity is key, and this new video should help you achieve that. Thanks for the comment. AJ
Mate you do an excellent review video. I've spent the last few weeks watching all kinds of review RC car videos and your one of the best IMO. I really think your channel deserves a lot more views. I notice your videos don't have hashtags something UA-cam now promotes. Maybe look at adding hashtags to your videos just a thought. Keep up the good work much appreciated
Much appreciated!
What’s the range in the aarma typhon 3s remote control? Could I use the remote from the jlb cheetah 21101,??
I don’t see why not. The range is good and it should go in. 😎👍
I have the 3S and 6S and you are absolutely right. They are both super fun.
Yes they are!
I have the 3s, upgraded to blx150 and 2050kv, and run 6s. Nothing has broken, not one thing.
Amazing video man! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Really nice comparison vid👌i have both the typhon 3 and 6s and these are the best cars upthere along with the vorteks,wich of course is a stadium-truck!🏎🏎🏎
Thanks! 👍
WHAT IS THE long white arrma rc on top of toolbox?!
It’s not an Arrma. In fact it’s an 8th scale dragster we actually built here at the studio. Thanks for asking. 😎👍
I've tried to look it up but can't find an answer, how do you set the lvc on these?
Good video I just brought one of a friend for 300 with upgrades 👍
I see they upgraded the radio that is good, the 3s line is a fun platform, going to be fun to watch you rip it up
Copy that. Fun’s a comin’. Thank you 😎👍
Finally!!! Newbie and been waiting for your review on this. Now please change the chassis and motor so that I have something to follow while I change mine out since I hit a Curb head on the other day 😩
The chassis is really simple to swap out, even if you're new, and if you check out the Senton Mods video you'll see how to do your motor work. I think that should help you, after all, they are the same platform and the steps are the same. Bash on my friend. AJ
@@AJJAMStudios thanks for the tips
I really like mine too bro!! I put shocks on it and that’s it… never broke a thing 🤙🤙
Nice review…..Tyhpon 3s is one of my favorite Rc’s 👍🏾💪🏾💯
It is a severely overlooked rig. I feel people overlook it because of it's big brother, the 6s. As you've seen, I have them all and the 3s belongs right up there with the others, and at a better price. Thanks for the comment. AJ
hands down my all time fav RC basher, this vid helped me to discover that!!
Put the typhon 6s shocks on it👍
Mine got tons of gravel in it and jammed in the honeycomb chassi
They do have issues with gravel, and that applies to all of the 3s RCs from Arrma. It's usually not an RC killer though. Tip it upside down with the body off and most of it falls out, even in the steering mechanism, just turn the steering back and forth a couple of times with the RC inverted. The honeycomb area though, not so much. Thanks for sharing. 😎👍
Great footage just bought one looks like it can take some abuse.
With a fair driving style it is a tough machine. Hard impacts though, nothing can withstand a full speed sudden stop without some breakage. Bash on, my friend. 😎👍
Bro, 1:38 Thumbs up for that transition alone!
Thank you 😎👍
Can you show how you clean them? Your cars always look great!
We have a video up already and another on the way. RC Maintenance 101😎👍
Hey, I just bought one of these 3 days ago & I feel like I hear some clicking. I posted a little short vid on my channel. I’m not sure if this is the way the car just sounds or if something’s wrong with mine or if the rear diff is rubbing too tight. If you could help me out that’d be amazing, thanks.
I watched your video, that’s just the sound of the gears. It sounds proper to me. If you roll it faster the gears sound smoother. Better yet, put a battery in it and take it for a rip! Good luck!
That is the normal sound of the gearbox as the motor shifts between polarity points. No issues there. Thanks for asking. 😎👍
Is this a BLX?
Si ..
No
If money isnt an issue what other rtr you recommend thats similar but better than the typhon 3s?
Wow, that's an interesting question. There are so many buggies out there it's hard to pick one. We only have a few of them in the studio and that limits our experience to those rigs. My favorite 4x4 buggy has to be the TLR Typhon because of it's build and the adjustments it provides. Running on 4s this 6s rig is versatile and fast, especially when geared up on 6s. It's tunable for the track and yet built using tougher aluminum than the RTR version.
I know there are others out there we haven't gotten our hands on yet so I am asking the community to chime in on this one. Which one would you guys pick?
I wish I could help more. AJ
@@AJJAMStudios Team Corally Radix 4 maybe 🤷🏽♂️
thank you for your input 🙌🏽
Just bought one my front wheels wobble a lot at slow speed is this normal
Sometimes, and this applies to most RCs out there, you can get a bad wheel that wobbles a bit. It can also be caused by overtightening of the wheel and mashing the plastic, but this is less common. If it rips and the wheel does not affect the control and handling of the RC, I say use it. I would remove the wheel first though, and spin up the spindle slowly and see if the hex wobbles. If it does, check the drive pin behind it and make sure it is seated correctly. Other than that, the wheel would be the issue. Thanks for asking. AJ
@@AJJAMStudios thanks mate I’ll see how it goes! Drives fine for now heard they can fly off cos the screw in drive shaft is loose from factory hopefully just a wonky wheel everything seems tight.
I love my typhon, It can run with most 10th scale bashers but still shred parking lots simply by changing tires.
Awesome 😎👍
The only thing that I've damaged has been a bent shock rod and I cracked the wing other than that I've been having a blast with it.... Cool video by the way, always enjoy your unboxing and reviews...
Good looking out! Ethan hawke, I'm now a fan and thanks for the review. I'll be buying two of these
❤ July 18th 2023: I just ordered mine a day or two ago from Amazon. Wiill be here soon. Still need to buy the batteries. ❤
I like this scale car and truck in my area there are less places to run your rc. They are banned from parks and most publick areas. To many incidents with big fast cars. We have maybe 3 areas we can go all tiny and very small. So the rest is any where we can get away with it. Streets parking lots non park fields. The smaller size helps with smaller spaces. When bigger faster cars doing 70 plus come out some one always complains to the police about safety and we get shut down.
That dbxl intro clip jump still to this day might be one of the sickest things ever filmed rc wise! 😱😱😱
Thank you very much. We were surprised when we first saw the footage in the studio. also, we managed to land two of those jumps and never crashed off that ramp. What a fun day!!!
@@AJJAMStudios You're such an under rated channel!! You deserve to be up there with the top rc channels and I'm sure it's just a matter of time before you get there! Don't forget me when you're in the big time bud lol. Great rc content and glad I came across your channel a while back from your reeper videos. Just grabbed a fireteam, couldn't beat that sale of $399 😁💪🏼🍻🍻 I watched your video on it a while back and I believe it was your buddies so might be a great time to pick one up if you liked it! 👍🏼
I put the center diff in and it makes a world of difference in handling and tire wear!
Been debating this or big rock????
What you think?
Big sub great review one of best I’ve seen great footage and gear shop talk!!!
Tough question. Bigrock for brutal stuff. Typhon for speed and handling. Your choice 😎👍
This is one of my favorite cars, yes shocks are crap!
The shocks are one of the first things I swap out. There are a couple others too. Thanks for the comment. AJ
Good day, I have been going back and forth between getting this buggy, or sticking with the 1/10th Vortex 4 x 4 3s BLX stadium truck. I have always been into the trucks, I just want to make sure I won't be disappointed .
They are both based on the same platform. The choice has to be yours. We cannot determine your likes or dislikes. If it thrills you you have the right one. Have fun choosing. 😎👍
I have a question for you if you can, please answer considering you have both cars. So I have the typhon 3S i’m curious if the wheels from the typhon 6s will fit the typhon 3s car? I mean, they are both 17mm hex. Nobody seems to know on UA-cam, with all of the people who do modifications to the typhons. I will wait for your response. Thank you Andre from Boston Massachusetts.
We have interchanged them and they do fit. We've used both and they perform well enough but I'm unsure if the 3s tires will handle the 6s power for long. Thanks for asking.
Great content as usual. Thanks!
My pleasure!
Puedo ponerle una batería 3s 5000 .50
I replaced my pivot balls with aluminum 22pc set from ammo zon 😂...and big bore aluminum shocks from eeeee bay.....and also tee bone racing front bumper
Sounds good. 😎👍
Would you reco big bore shocks over 6s stock? Or tlr? I’m racing for fun
I went with big bore. The 6s shocks are not the same as the 3s ones. You can still tune the oils. 😎👍
Hi , I know you are an experienced rc race driver , so in your opinion could this car compete in races with losi and team associated cars etc
I’m not sure. It drives awesome but it depends upon which cars your competing against. It’s tough and fast and you can pick your setup and tires. I hope this helps. 😎👍
@@AJJAMStudios Thanks for the info , I'm considering racing one . I love your channel , so much great info and fun , I'm just starting out an rc UA-cam channel , feel free to check out some of my videos , thanks again
NEWBIE HERE, just subscribed.....so which. Typhoon or Bigblock, mistly for street rippin and bmx track (Dirt), dirt/grass runnin'...just learning to jump...hope to hear from you!!!!
Both are cool. Both are powerful. Handling on groomed surfaces for me falls to the Typhon. But...bashing in dirt and such falls to the Big Rock. I guess it depends on your driving style and where you plan to run it. As always the choice has to be yours. I usually find one that speaks to me and get that one. Both have the same design for the chassis, although one is longer, so there's that. Best of luck choosing. 😎👍
@@AJJAMStudios is one more durable than the other??......also. I can't seem the get into your facebook page??
Well, I, after watching your piece on the Losi Tenacity TT pro, fould a similar deal locally...so for $300, sealed in the box....I saw another vid regarding modding dual fans on the motor, they felt the motor was pretty Hot after running multiple 3s packs through it, and opinion and if so what setup would you recommend.....LASTLY. Do you have a patreon program...and Merch??
I am definitely getting this whenever i save up for it! Question: can this vehicle take a Zeee 3s batteries with an ec5 connector?
yes. 👍
@@AJJAMStudios Hell yes!!! Thank you for Responding! Imma get this early next month!!
Put some tbone racing bumpers on there and that thing becomes an absolute tank
Agreed. AJ
Does it equipped with Gyro system?
Mine did not, but it still handles great. Thanks for asking.
WHAT KIND OF BEEFEY TIRES CAN YOU RECOMEND TO USE WITH THE TYPHON FOR MORE GRIP AND IN GREAT BALANCE FOR ON ROAD AND OFF ROAD ???????
There's no need to shout.
Stock is fine
Great line, needs a few tweaks to make them beasts. 👍💯
Agreed. I have a video coming out soon which addresses that exact subject for the Typhon 3s. I'm sure you will have add-ons to put in the comments for that video and I look forward to reading them. Thanks for commenting, and I dig your channel. Thanks again. AJ
@@AJJAMStudios Hi! I’m from Norway, really like your vids:) Very nice for us new guys the way you test cars and explain:) Have this "problem" video been posted yet?
I love my typhon 3s. I've had it for 5 months now. I ride mainly in heavy sand and my typhon rocks.
Great. I'm glad yours is one of your favorites. I love mine. AJ
You get alot of sand in your power module?
@@RayRiv73 honestly no, suprisingly I just get a little dust on the motor and lipo in the back. All I do is just brush it off when I'm done riding.
@@RayRiv73 surround the opening of the module with Velcro. Makes it a tad harder to get in and out of the chassis but it will block any debris
The 3s line of Arrma's are great cars, especially when you consider the prices they were when I purchased my five 3s Arrma's that i have. Having said that Arrma prices have gone up a fair bit lately.
The 3s cars are lighter, there's no doubt of that, and it's due to their construction and the materials used, which makes them a bit less grounded, but they all rock, so there's no issues about the weight really. The 3s cars seem to bump up and over things a bit more, which makes them feel "different" compared to the 6s line, but that's not a bad thing, it's just different. I love my 3s cars, and I'm glad the 3s line up works for you, after all, that's all that really matters. plus, they are cheap to repair and parts are readily available, so there's that too. AJ
Hi AJ, I'm in the UK and I find your channel very informative and I like the way you test and have fun with the cars and explain and show in detail how to replace parts when thy break.
Where are you based in the US as the backdrop to your place looks great.
We’re based in the Pacific Northwest. Thank you. 😎👍
