- Checking out the new ARRMA Typhon Grom small scale basher!
Currently unreleased but expected to release soon! Got a connection at my LHS and got one early!
Take a look with me as I compare it against the Granite Grom and see what the differences are

Now theres going to be an even longer wait for the steel diffs.
you can also just get the "Hot Racing GRM37C Arrma Grom Steel Diff Outdrives"
Oil filled differentials are better because you can tune it with different oils, but these steel diff outdrives from hot racing solve the problem for $10 per diff. So $20 front and back instead of $40.
The next weak point is the axles
Can't wait for the brushless set up
It's jus a great RC fix for those that don't wanna blow a bunch of money cuz they don't have much time. Nice Video
I want to make it Brushless from the jump. On dirt, it’s going to be real nice.
That was interesting to follow, and actually I went and watched this after your brushless upgrade video, I also subscribed to follow how you progress with it...
Weird how just a very few people got their hands on this and the manufacturer keeps not announcing it, they are basically pranking the entire RC community, ha ha!
I think it'll be a great little buggy, the proportions look more right than many of the cheaper ones with way too short wheelbase and too much power...
Have a good one!
I think arrma is doing this on purpose to gauge the rc communities enthusiasm on these new groms so they know how many to make for initial release
Will you share a link for the all metal diff's? I know they are out of stock but want to order for when they have them. Thanks.
Arrma is out currently, but a lot of local shops have them or if you hunt by part number you can usually find some online in stock still.

How did you get your hand on it before they even released their promotional video?
I got a heads up that there were some available from a connection at a hobby shop. I paid a little premium but happy to get my hands on it early. Hopefully the rest will be shipping out soon now that they have formally announced
@hornedcow nice to have connections 😁 I don't know what arrma are like but traxxas would be looking to sue some one over early video release haha
But that move puts you on the map 😇 thanks buddy
How tall are the typhon grom tires? 12mm hex? Thanks.
Same height as the Granite Grom, I don't think they list it but I think it is 65-70mm IIRC. 12mm hex.
Where u order from
Dang your a vip getting one of the first ones
Stock motor is going to overheat like crazy with an 18t pinion. The granite grom had that issue with an 16t pinion.
Yes, they can definitely burn up in stock form. The Typhon does have a fan though, which the Granite does not. Recommend adding one to the Granite even if you are leaving everything else stock. There is an extra port on the ESC for it.
@@Killer_of_RCs oh, trust me. I added the stick motor fan from my Mojave to the grom. A little bit big,but a zip tie sure came in handy 🤣
WHERE TO BUY ?
eBay.
Hello, I do not understand how it continues to reach some people if the company Arrma and Horizon have not released any information or videos.
Stolen product
fell off the truck !!!
@@NAZTYPONY007 ajajaja 🙄
Mod 0.5 pinion that has to be a stupid thing on purpose. Hope aftermarket can supply mod 0.6 conversion. Kinda reminds me of that silly wltoys mini where I had to 3d print a mod 1 spur. There's nothing for it.
Yeah it was a little bit of a search to find them at first but luckily it's something you usually only have to do once. Been sharing where I can to make it easier for everyone else building one.
This video should be 10 minutes long.
I like to talk! Thanks for the feedback though, still figuring out the flow
Keep complaining and Go make your own video.. why didn't you stop at 10 mins.. what a clown😊
@@Killer_of_RCsI think teardowns are informative... that's what I usually do before I run any of mine.
