  • This comprehensive Arrma Typhon 2S review showcases Arrma's most affordable Typhon. The Arrma Typhon MEGA 4X4 runs off 7.4 volt 2 cell (2S) Lipo or 8.4 volt NiHm battery. As well as all the quality Arrma Typhon parts that it shares with the Typhon 3S and Typhon 6S, the Typhon 2S MEGA utilized a powerful 550kv brushed motor and high quality steering servo. This Typhon MEGA 4X4 review video covers everything you need to know about the 2S Typhon RC buggy including unboxing, speed tests, available upgrades, suspension arm repair, pinion gear installation, shock replacement, stunt driving, and more! Thanks for watching and I'll see you on the next one! -Nate

    Your not gonna gain speed since the weak brushed system cannot pull 10c out of the battery let alone 100c. Plus it is lower voltage. You may gain slightly more power on acceleration however.

    Great video, thanks! I got one of these about a month ago. My first hobby grade RC and I love it. I think people across the board don't see a big difference between NiMH and 2S on the brushed motor, as in one of the previous comments. Switched to brushed, and even on 2S the difference was huge. As you said, 3S may be a better starter for grownups. I mostly do 2S runs with the occasional 3S. See what breaks. 😅

    This is such a hidden gem, i am experiencing a clicking noise when i drive my car, it had the same noise before and turns out in the stock motor the shaft holding up the pinion gear was wobbly and so the store gave me a free new traxxas motor, (same one as stock) and it worked fine for a while but then i noticed a new clicking sound, maybe its because we loosened our spur gear up too much or maybe too tight? but we're taking it in tomorrow and hopefully they can listen to it and help us. But I am in the process of upgrading to a brush less with a 4s lipo and this video has been super helpful man, many thanks. I wish I had found this whilst i was charging the battery haha

    I am thinking of buying this car, I have traxxas cars now but I want you to try a 1/8 that isn’t so expensive.
    I am gonna toss the esc and motor and put in a proper esc and motor.
    I am gonna go for 3s(my esc can do 6s), but I am worried if this car can take 100Amp(ish) and ridiculously high rpm..?
    Both 2wd and 4wd stampede can handle it out of the box, even when it is much more powerful than the vxl top model of those car’s motors.
    Anyway , I am guessing this will handle it too.
    Can someone tell me if There is any difference between these cars called 2s,3s etc besides the motor and esc?

I've broken in all of my brushed motors Ina cup of water for a whole nihm battery at about 25% throttle until it was dead . I've never had a issue and I've done it many of times . Second .... After running your rc in rain or mud your gonna want to tear it down and clean it and grease and oil it properly you can't just let it sit and dry like that .
