- "Speed Buggy" is right. First time in the dirt left me totally impressed. Winds were high and rocks were plenty. The lightweight Typhon 3s still hammered through the terrain at warp speeds. Anyone who still doubts these 3s rigs has to try one. Temps have been perfect even geared up with a 20T. Also running rubber sealed bearings in the slipper housing. Tdogg had a blown front diff, but still killed it. Props to David for sending the Notorious. Big thanks to RCJuice, Voltage Hobbies, and Fast Track Hobbies in Rocklin, CA. New shop address is 4420 Granite Dr. Rocklin. Please visit and drop some cash...Lol!!!
Meant to shout out RCJuice for the incredible turnaround 😨. Was running a new Hobbystar 6500mah 75C 3s hardcase👌. Ordered it late afternoon, received the next day with an EC5 soldered on 👍. Thank you RCJuice for incredible products and service. 🍻
Awesome, the fact they put on whatever connector you want is the best thing about RCJuice, hands-down.
@@RazorRC no doubt brother 👊!!! RCJuice makes service a priority. 🍻😎💪👊👊
That’s the same pack I run in my granite and it has tons of punch. They are great to deal with
@@lowblueranger that's awesome Bro 👊!!! Appreciate the feedback about it. Think I'm getting another one sometime soon. 🍻😎💪👊👊
We need someone like that in the uk
Liking the tyre choice for the Typhon, definitely a beefed up basher buggy you created there. Well done on another great bash, I thought something would've broken at some point with some of those tumbles, but the Typhon don't quit for no one. Not even you, Rich. LoL 😀😂
BTW, love that bash spot... 😍
Thanks so much Vas😂!!! This Typhon is SO friggin FUN 😨😍😍. Knew when I saw yours and Thomas's vids I was going to love it 😜. The Badlands 2.8 on F11's feels about perfect 👌. Not too heavy, still responsive, and nice cushion over the rough stuff. I'm shocked nothing broke with those high speed tumbles 😨. The stock steering blocks just might have🤔. This spot is MAD fun, especially with friends 😅😅. Hope you can visit CA sometime👌🍻🤘🤘😎💪👊👊
I was thinking the same thing when watching the video Vas. Way to go, damn this thing is a beast!
@@richduperbash2966 20 tooth no heat PROBLEMs
I just made a similarly meaning comment, also I mentioned his laugh being pure infectious joy
Dude, you are the friggin' king of sending it! Those jumps and speedruns were insane! Thank you so much for bringing these awesome videos to us who cannot get enough of them! Happy New Year!
Thanks so much brother 😂!!! Had a Blast with the guys and this new little Ripper 😍. It's fast as heck, durable, and handles better than I imagined. 🍻🤘🤘😎💪👊👊
My Typhon finally came in. Ordered couple months ago. Been on back order. Getting it Monday. Sick buggy.
Your cars always sound so tight and spot on. You’re full of good info. Thanks man. Broke my first front arm the other day in a spectacular flip roll face plant.
Thanks brother 👊!!! I try my best to get them dialed 👌. Makes such a difference and keeps it fun wrenching, fixing, and tuning 😍. I try to road test them in the neighborhood but it doesn't always happen. Bummer on the A arm 😨. I've been breaking parts lately too on my MT41O 😲. Mostly bad landings doing parts testing 😜. Always say that anything can be broken. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Love your laugh and enthusiasm! Loving the 3S Typhon also. Great video!
Thanks so much 😊!!! The Typhon 3s is one of my favorite RC's hands down 👊. Just got some replacement rear A arms so getting her back out soon😍🤘🤘😎💪👊👊
Awesome vid again Rich! So fun to watch you guys send it!
Can always rely on an action packed Arrma video from you dude! That thing rips!
Thanks Brother😂!!! 🤘🤘😎💪👊👊
Great video! I'm loving these 3s rigs more all the time... I find myself running the Granite 4x4 3s as an easy go to rig more and more! After seeing this video I think the Typhon 3s will be my next rig. A big thank you for all the awesome videos and great information! Yourself and several others are making it easy to know exactly what mods are needed for making these Arrma vehicles super fun, tough bashers!
Thanks so much Ronaldo 🤗. So sorry I missed your message until now 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊
great video and atmosphere man. i really love your genuine laughs and simply just having fun. never a moment worried that something might break, it's all part of the hobby and you'll just fix it, improve it and blast on grinning even wider. superb life attitude man!
Thanks so much Brother 😊!!!! Definitely like keeping it fun out there 👍. Lots of good times and laughs. Really appreciate it .🍻😎💪👊👊
Thanks for the GPM and HR part numbers!!! Awesome vids, appreciate all the info you put out.
Congrats on your new Typhon..definitely on my “to buy” list.
That was some wicked Arrma 3s action it holds up with the 6s rigs with that 20t awesome bash session and happy New year to all of you and your family
Great run thank you for making this video. I love watching them with my 6 year old and 4 year old while we’re frozen here in Minnesota.
Thanks so much Jake 😂!!! Love hearing about the kids watching 😍. My kids are hooked on Fortnight 😨😲😲😲😎💪👊👊
Wow!!! That thing rips! 👌🏻 you laugh just sums it all up for me 😀😀👍🏻
I really like watching your videos. You guys really get some wild airtime. Nice driving.
Thanks so much for the kind words brother 😂!!! 🍻🤘🤘😎💪👊👊
Awesome bash Rich! Can't wait for mine to come on Monday! Its coming right from your area from amain! I wanted to buy through them to support them, i know some of their employees are going through tough times and they are a great company. Thanks for the part numbers! That's so cool how you fine tune these rigs and give us the info and part numbers we need. You're definatly one of my favorite youtubers! Great job and thanks!
Thanks so much Chris👊!!! Appreciate you supporting Amain👍. They were hit very hard by the tragic Camp Fire no doubt. A large percentage of their staff lost everything. Super cool of you to think of them with your order👍. Appreciate the kind words too brother 😍🤘🤘😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 👌
They say fun is doing what you love to do, it looks like you guys made it happen. Really enjoy your vids, great fun. Keep up the fun.
Holy friggin smokes Rich! That thing is an absolute 🚀 with that 20t! Yeah I'm gonna have to snatch this one up. So far the Typhon is my fave out of the new 3s line up. She took a good beating too. Happy New Year my friend and as always bash away man!!!
My old 1996 rc10t couldn't hold a candle to these setups.
It's a great time to get back into RC in 2019
Love this 3s buggy! This is my go to RC to test or hone my jumping skills. I enjoy the 3s as much as my 6s Typhon! Great video Rich!
Thanks for much Brother 😁. The Typhon 3s is such an awesome little ripper 😍. Much appreciated my friend!!!
Rich, I just received my new typhon 3S yesterday and broke the front left shock. I did order new shocks and also a 20t pinion gear both should arrive on Friday. I was really enjoying the Typhon drives, handles flies so much differently and then Redcat Shedder. they are different size trucks Typhon 8th and Shedder 6th scale. Shedder drives and feels heavy and is very loose. Typhon feels drives and feels lighter.
I can't wait to get it rolling again!
Man, how is it that a godly bmx park like that is always empty????? You guys get that spot to yourself, so awesome
Just as expected, insanity. $299 well spent i think👍👍
Yes indeed Jason😜!!! Another ARRMA masterpiece 😍🤘🤘🍻😎💪👊👊
I certainly enjoyed watching this video. You guys did some awesome jumps. The cars held up quite well. Your Typhon is awesome !!!!
Thanks so much Brother 😜. This was a super FUN session. The Typhon 3s is a little Ripper. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Again Rich a fantastic AWESOME BASHING DAY OUT 😱WOW😱 fantastic video brother 👍😍👍
Man this is a SICK SICK vid!!! Love the air time and the tumbles. 👍👍👏👏💪💪
Thanks so very much Brother 😂!!! Had a Blast with this little Beast and bashing it up with the guys 🍻. This sucker definitely took the hits well 👌🤘🤘😎💪👊👊
Love it 👍Happy new year dude.
Yeeeah, the new Typhon 3s looks impressive, however any car is impressive in your hand!!! 😂🤘 Great job as always, my friend!!! 😎💪
SEND IT!!! OMG😲 that 3s typhon with the 20t is ridiculously fast Rich. Some SICK jumps flips!! I'm not a buggy person but I think it won over 😲😂.
That 3s Typhon is a beast. Looks really nice. Great bash with it brother. Hope you had great holidays👍👍👊👊👊😀😀
Thanks so much Kenny 😂!!! It handles better than I expected and is Crazy fast 😨. The way they designed the body mounts and wing mount is brilliant 👌. These rigs were designed for impacts. Arrma is Friggin killing it with this 1/10th line 😍. Hope you had a great holiday too Brother!!! 🍻🤘🤘😎💪👊👊
Awesome run man you keep it exciting!
Thanks so much my friend 😂!!! Happy bashing 🍻😅😅😎💪👊👊
Just awesome vid!!💥and my gosh typhon is sick to watch here..great fun⚡️😄👍
Thanks so much Christian 🤗. Happy bashing Brother 🍻😎💪👊👊
Awesome durability, better than i thought.
Happy new year Rich! Keep these great video's coming👍💪👍😉
Thanks brother 😂!!! Happy New year too you too 🍻🤘🤘😎💪👊👊
Finally someone who knows how to drive, and show u what these cars are really capable. Last video I watched someone tried to show the Typhon off on tall wet grass...😐 Super unimpressed.
Thanks Brother 🤗. I know this vid is from 5+ years ago, but the Typhon is still my all around favorite platform hands down. Was working on my 6s earlier and just upgraded my son's Typhon Grom with a mini Hobbywing setup. 😎🚀🚀
As always great video man... You have skills man. 🕹
Nice video my brother 👍 she looks like a well built rig 😎 was handling great for stock sweet run with the fellas 👊
Was gonna get one of these blx 3s rigs but I ended up getting a force RC muckraker 8th scale truggy. Was 299. For the price, this thing is amazing. Fast and tough. I've had one breakage but it was from smashing into a tree head on almost at full speed. It's only 4s capable but with a bigger 15t pinion I get low-mid 40s which is plenty for me. But it looks like I might have to get one of these 3s blx rigs too, they are friggin tough
Nice! My kid and I have been all Traxxas, but after seeing this video, we might have to make the switch.
Very nice! Arrma is killing the game with the 3s blx line!!
Thanks Bro 👊!!! Yes indeed 👍. These BLX rigs are no joke. The plastic is deceiving 😨. Never expected this level of durability and performance. The biggest thing is the pure fun factor 😍🤘🤘😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 Plastic sounds cheap lol.. High Strength Composite sounds much better!!!
@@philthyco1 LMAO 😂. You're right 👊. My bad...Lol. 🍻
Man if me and my boy didn’t already have Hobao Hyper VSe buggies I’d be putting two of these in the sopping cart right now! Awesome buggy 🤘🏻 sweet upload as always and really useful tips to start off with too 😁
Thanks brother 😂!!! The Hobao buggy's are nice 👌. So far I'm super impressed with this little bullet 😨. Appreciate the kind words 👍🤘🤘😎💪👊👊
That typhon is a bullet on wheels!!!!!! And of course Arrma tough! Awesome seeing that thing rip in person! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 so much fun yesterday bro! 😂😂😂😂
Brother I had SO much fun with you and Tdogg 😱!!! This Typhon 3s is a Ripper no doubt 😨. Hope we can hook up again soon. You were Killin it with the Notorious 😰😰 and the Fusion 😱!!! Should have another vid up soon with the racing and carnage 😨🍻🤘🤘😎💪👊👊
This is a great video !
This is what it's all about Boyz and girlz... bash , or serious racing ..its all about having a great time with your buddies outside on a nice day.. you can have an entry level brushed vehicle or one that you spent an obscene amount of cash on. I started many years ago with a Tamiya Hornet kit ..before brushless or lipo batteries were even thought of....if your having a good time ..that is all that matters .
Thanks Brother 👊!!!! Well said. It really is all about having a good time 🍻😎💪👊👊
Nice super sick action brother Rich Happy New Year much love to the family ✊😎
Thanks so much Kizzel😂!!! Happy New year to you too Bro 😜🤘🤘😎💪👊👊
Little Badass👍👍👊👊🤯🤯🤯Happy newyear bro
Thanks Brother 👊!!! This thing Rips on 3s😨. It's so dang light and balanced 👌. Happy New year Bro🍻🤘🤘😎💪👊👊
Awesome footage my man!!!
Ripper indeed 🤩💪🤪 These 3s trucks are fantastic! I thought it preformed well with the stock tires! Really excited to see what comes next. My latest theory is a 3s Fazon 😃 Im excited to get my Monster Senton up and running and experiment with the HR aluminum steering rack 👍
Looks to me like the holy Grail of bash spots!
Man, you drive your R/C's balls to the wall. Awesome. They just keep going.
LOOKS LIKE A FUN DAY!
That typhon is a beast.👍👍💣
Thats what i like to see! awesome buggy and bash/ I'm impressed with the 3s buggy
Thanks Philip 😂!!! She's a little Ripper no doubt 🍻🤘🤘😎💪👊👊
Nearly took out your pals ankles bro 😂 Another great video. You need a TV spot Rich 🤙🏻
Great rip Rich 👍 I have seen a few videos on the buggy and it is super impressive.
Thanks Scott 😂!!! I'm stoked to have one now 😍. I bet this sucker would kill it in a track situation. Hoping to try it at my buddy's 1/8 track. The handling and responsiveness blew me away 😨. You'll likely be seeing some speed run guys tricking these suckers out too. 🍻🤘🤘😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 Looking forward to it 👍👍
Great bash, street and dirt.
Thanks brother 👊!!!! Much appreciated. 👍👍😎💪👊👊
Wow for 300 bucks you are having a blast nice bash that bad boy flys 🛫👍🏾
Dam brother how fast is that little thing! Absolutely brilliant first bash dude 👌 gotta rewatch this......... quite a few times 😂🍻👌🤘👍
It's pretty damn fast 😨. It's about perfect right now for ridiculous bashing speeds 😍. These little 3200kv 3660 BLX motors wind out brilliantly and run remarkably cool even geared up🤔. May have reached 140F tops and ESC 115F. Arrma did there homework designing these suckers 🍻🤘🤘😎💪👊👊
You're the king of RC bruh 🤘 best laugh too 🤣 pure infectious joy bruh
Thanks so much Brother 🤗. Gotta have fun out there 😂🍻😎💪👊👊
I never knew I wanted an Arrma before this. I have an EB48.4 that I love but this things looks sick.
The Typhon 3s is a killer value 😍. So quick, agile, and easy to wrench on. I recently converted my eb48.4 into a GT road Ripper 🍻
Sick bro another sick video had dope time out there 💯💯💯💯👊👊👊👊👊👊
Thanks Bro 😂!!! This was a KILLER fun bash😍. Gotta do it more often. 🍻🤘🤘😎💪👊👊
Rich das war mehr als Mega geil einfach nur heftig was du mit 3s arrma alles machst so geil 😍😍😍💪👍👍👍🍻🍻🍻
Another killer bash session 👊 💪👊
Always the spectacular jumps, you are the big n1👍😁
Thanks so much brother 😂!!! Happy New year and bashing 🍻🤘🤘😎💪👊👊
Also a good year for you and a good bashing👍👍😁🤘🤘
Sweet bash Rich 👍
Very nice vid rich ! So much power ha ha ha
That was a blast to watch.
Thanks brother 😂!!! Really appreciate it 🍻🤘🤘😎💪👊👊
Awesome bash session them 3s Arrmas are killer
Thanks so much brother 😂!!! Yes indeed 🍻. They're a serious value for impressive performance. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Dude ur videos n laugh are awesome u give me hope that one day my rc will fly one day lol
Thanks Manuel 🤗!!!! Really appreciate it Brother. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Another cool ass video!!! You're starting to get a bash group going.
Nice run Rich !! The Typhon looks to handle awesome 😎 I’m loving the light 3S platform. Killer drifting at the start Brother 👍🏻👍🏻😁 I’ve been running the BRCC at the skatepark and and impressed with the durability of the little sucker. Man I’ve had to change my driving style big time lol !!
Thanks so much Cam😂!!! The Typhon 3s absolutely RIPS 😱😍😍😍. It's lighter than the other 3s rigs and as perfectly balanced as any RC out there 👌. Just got a BRCC yesterday 😨. It's pissing rain here again so no driving ATM. These 1/10ths are a refreshing change up and a challenge no doubt 😜. The finesse factor and quickness is just AWESOME 😍!!! Hope you post up a vid Brother. You're one of my very top favorite channels if I hadn't told you already 😂🤘🤘😰😰😰😎💪👊👊
Rich Duperbash Thanks Rich appreciate it 👍🏻 I blew a tire today so I’m chasing parts to widen the stance and a set of MX28’s
Cheers 😁
@@richduperbash2966 Now a BRCC?! You've got the whole set now Rich! It's good to have cars on a similar platform, makes parts inventory a lot easier👍😎✌
I just got my Typhoon 6s today. Thing heavy as ever!
Not HPI Vorza heavy, but yeah she's a solid 6s buggy. Handles Killer and rips. Still my all-time favorite 🍻😎💪👊👊
Great bash Rich! I was shocked to see that your a-arms held up to the tumbles and hard landings.
Thanks brother 😂!!! Hopefully RPM will offer them as an upgrade soon. Running smaller or softer wheels helps the arms hold better I think. 🍻🤘🤘😎💪👊👊
That typhon is a beast!!!!!
Think it's time to change the name to king duperbash. You the man Rich. That typhon is a beast. I have a v1 typhon and it still hasn't got a scratch on the chassis underneath. I'm too afraid to send it like u.
Damn, put them through the ringer, I have a notorious coming Tuesday or Wednesday, can’t wait.
Your vids are sick dude
Now that's where I need to be nice car and track brother 💪🤙✊😎
Cool video rich!!
Thanks brother 👊!!! 🍻😎💪👊👊
nice bash and tire choice. kinda funny to see such a low price rig perform so well. thats arrma for ya!
Thanks brother 👊!!! It's fairly ridiculous how awesome these 3s rigs are for the price. The value is about as good (probably better) than anything else out there. 🍻🤘🤘😎💪👊👊
Thanks for your reply Rich 👍. Im sure a lot of us that follow you would like to know a bit more about the nice dude behind the cam 😊, like age, occupation etc
Awesome freakin bash my brotha she a ripper for sure man looks like a fun rig happy bashing bro👍🤙😎🤪😜😝🙈🙉🙊👊✌
👊😎right on Bro.
Been waiting for your next upload. ❤️what you do Brutha. Keep em coming 🤘👊✌️💪🏼😎
Man if I had a bash spot like that, all of my cars would be broken into a million pieces in 20 minutes! Incredible spot!
Yeah this was an Epic spot enjoyed for years 😍. Sadly it was leveled in late 2019 by the new land owners 😝
Starting the new year right!👍🤘🤘🤘
Heck yeah!!! 😨😜😅😅😎💪👊👊
Just Awesome brother.....
Thanks so much Brother 👊!!! This Typhon 3s is a speed demon 😨🍻🤘🤘😎💪👊👊
Totally BADASS vid bro! The 3s Typhon is a nut house!!😬 I was afraid to try big jumps with the stock tires but looks to have handled them well!! I can't wait to get the 18 or 20 tooth in mine. I went to my LHS today and they had no 20 tooth for the larger motor shaft..doh!! I guess I'll go ahead and do the HR mount and probably drop a 18 tooth in it. Seems to be working well in the Big Rock. You're right, she was hangin witht he 6s rigs no problem! Super fast in the drag!! Great vid brother!!😀👊🚀🤘🤘🍻
Thanks so much Eric 😂!!! The stock tires rip pretty hard 😨. Not the best for air control, but fast as heck. 20T feels about right with these lighter Badlands. 18 might be better with heavier Trenchers or MX28s🤔. My Senton lost low end torque with the Granite wheels and 20T, but gets moving quick regardless. I'm super impressed with the Typhon 😍. Just sick handling overall. Fly's great no doubt. Hopefully RPM will offer A arms soon🤔. Meant to mention, the Hobbystar 3670 3050kv is cutting out in my Senton. Did a couple street tests and it felt Killer, then shuts off after really hard speeds. Hope to get it sorted. These pinions are sorta oddball at 5mm shaft and mod .8. Had a couple spares from my Slash before converting it to mod 1. Using Robinson Racing Extra Hard. 🍻🤘🤘😎💪👊👊
Earned a sub dude! Loved it. 🤟🏻✌🏻
Thanks brother 😂!!! I'm missing messages like mad lately 😲. Appreciate it my friend 🍻🤘🤘😎💪👊👊
Them Arrmas Look Tough Can't Wait Till My Granite BLX Is here
Awesome bash brother. Have to say I'm very impressed with the arrma 3s range they seem to break less than the 6s.
They're pocket rockets.
If I'd bought my Senton before the Kraton 6s I wouldn't have bought the Kraton, the Senton is soo entertaining.
Take care bud 🙂✌
Thanks so much Dave 😜!!!! I still feel both the 3&4s rigs are very underrated 👀. Guys forget that lighter rigs can be incredibly durable and lightning quick 😱🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 na man thank you for the monster Senton idea the thing is an absolute beast.
Said I wouldn't buy any more trucks... typhon it is then 🤣 3s but stick a max10 straight in it. I think lighter is better bro they don't break as often as the Kraton 6s, I spend more time wrenching in that thing than doing anything 🤣
Take care man 🙂👊👊👍
@@DaVeHiLl200 you bet Brother 🤗.
Unbelievable👊🤘👍
OMG I just Want a 6s Typhon! if 3s Can do That! 6s will be Sick! GOod vids
Thanks brother 👊!!! I know both rigs pretty well 😨. The 6s is an absolute Beast, but it's not as agile and quick in short bursts as the 3s. The 6s can definitely lay down way more power, but the physics of mass to power ratio comes to play, plus available traction of course. I would never sell or part with either rig 😍. For massive airs, the 6s wins hands down. The 3s is probably much faster though getting around a track. 🤘🤘😎💪👊👊
At 3:43 that was butter smooth. On some of those jumps it seemed like you were just searching to catch just a little air underneath to get that nose up on those stock wheels, lol (much better on them Badlands, yeah?).
Happy new year brother 🙄🤟🏼😎😉👌💪👏🤙
Happy New year to you too Bro🍻!!! 👍👍😅😅😅😎💪👊👊
Waoo the new typhon hi move god is faster nice vídeo duperbash🤯💣
Dude if that was stock it seems blitzkrieg fast, could only imagine with a higher pinion. The drifts were awesome!
Thanks brother 😂!!! This was with a 20T pinion. Comes with a 15. Gotta say the 20 is easily fast enough for my liking 😍🍻🤘🤘😎💪👊👊
Awesome bash Rich! I'm a firm believer that every rig has it's purpose. That's why I guess i have so many RCs lol. Not everything has to be a 6-8S crazy insane basher lol.
The drag races were funny..Goodbye Tekno MT410 and Arrma Notorious!!..This thing on 4s would be nuts!!!
Thanks so much brother 😂!!! Amen to that 👊. Every rig does have its purpose 🍻. I'm still shocked how fast and capable these lighter 3s rigs are 😨. Trying to educate my LHS on just how Killer they are. Their customers deserve to know there's more to look at than just Traxxas 💩😅😅😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 I've been trying to do the same lol. They claim no one would buy one. I keep telling them that yes, no one will buy one as long as you don't carry them! Lol
@@theibault Exactly 👊. They need to stock them and learn the trucks to understand. My LHS assumed the plastic center driveline wouldn't hold up. Truth is, it's the best design feature of the 3s line. The truck can flex with zero consequence to the gears😨
My son saved up and still had Christmas loot totaling a couple hundred bucks and was shopping for another crawler specifically an Everest gen 7 ... Ugggh, being the head mechanic, pit crew, and eventual silent investor of all things RC in our household I dreaded another "boat" of an RC vehicle ( any real boat owner will tell you...a boat is a hole in the water you throw money into) he's 11 , so basic 10 scale sct type stuff is the extent of his hands on experience and he's been responsible and gained a measure of competency that warrants exploring the next level.. okay, I gotta be honest ... Dad wants one too . So I planted a couple seeds , made sure my son was front and center when my neighbor pulled his talion out for a rip on the culdesac .. visited another buddy and he pulled out his Typhon 6s for a few speed runs ..... Ahh, I see gears turning .. and to seal the deal and sway this young man's opinion I reminded him that "crawling is for babies" . Well, Hook line and sinker .. " hey Dad, I was thinking I might want to get an ARRMA ... Maybe a Typhon 3s ?"
Don't judge, I'm trying to maximize fun around here people ..you gotta get dirty, cheat if necessary... and learn to manipulate your kids toy choices if it comes to it. Sure dad's gotta chip in the other 100 bucks to get the thing ... but we worked out a little deal and it seems we now have a full time groundskeeper , Ahh child labor ... our lawn is gonna look like a putting green soon I'm sure.
Well , two weeks pass and an almost daily dose of ripping plus few amazing bash sessions at construction sites and parks and it clear his confidence has grown in testing his skills driving the Typhon with 3s set to kill mode .. it's taken incredible hits and is by far the easiest thing I've ever seen in the RC vehicle realm to actually work on . I have yet to actually need to do anything ...just curiosity under the guise of inspection and cleaning. so far not a single parts breakage
We tried out sand paddles , a whole new type of fun ! So preemptively I ordered sealed bearings because I am sure we will be needing them shortly...
Other than the bearings that haven't needed to be but are ready put in, adding some very bright lightning, a tbr front bumper and rear bumper/wheelie bar it's needed nothing ..
The unfortunate result of this high reliability is dear old dads mechanical aptitude and technical expertise is rarely required ... ARRMA you've outsourced my job and semi legitimate way to weasel my way into some play time with this machine without the wife accusing me of hogging all the fun... oh ARRMA you sneaky bastards . I've been relegated to spectator status and I get little to no trigger time as a result. My son didn't have to say a word , I got the message kid . It was "get your own dad " at least that's the jist of it.
"One is none and two is one" I thought , that was my first attempt to justify to myself what I knew after two weeks was simply inevitable.. " The boys having having a great time with that thing honey... a second identical unit means no downtime waiting for a part " ... Yeah that one didn't fool my wife the way it fooled me but that's how my delusional mind works ... In the end it boils down to the age old "can't beat em, join em" philosophy.
So here I sit on a Saturday morning eagerly waiting for the Amazon and UPS trucks arrival ... By the afternoon we will both be ripping our 3s Typhons together, having a blast ! Thanks Mr Duperbash for the great content and giving us the down and dirty consistently.. it's appreciated. Thanks ARRMA for putting out some impressive products and please keep up the good work were sold on the ARRMA lineup and will be moving up the ranks to the 6s stuff in short order.
Thanks so much Brother 😜!!!! Hope you and your son have a Rippin good time bashing together😍. The Typhon 3s is a wonderful choice too. 🍻🤘🤘😎💪👊👊
Typhoon parking lot run was crazy
Very good👍🚘
