Spot on good review đ
Thank you!!
You cant land sideways or upside down with a 30ft jump an blame an RC to be weak lol. Get the m2c chassis braces an upgrade the servo mount an servo. Good to go. Nice review đ
Love you guys,
Not gonna lie a 6 out of 10 for durability is a little harsh when most of the breakages were from sending it 70+ feet and not landing right, that bent the chassis, towers, esc, battery tray, and shock rod ends, tires not vented? (setting the droop). My 2 cents.
Fair enough the remote is laggy and crap tho.
Maybe think of adding value to the rating.... Bang for buck!
Agreed with most other scores though... Keep and rocking guys and stay safe
Hey Dennis! Thank you so much for your input, we really do appreciate that! You definitely make a good argument there, and yes my landings when it broke..... wernt so smooth...đ We do like to push the cars to the limit to see how far we can send them, but we gave it a 6/10 because of all that broke/bent. Since upgrading it, its definitely more like an 8 or 9 but we score it based off stock and our experience. We also had the Maxx out that day, did the same size jumps, and just as many bad landings with almost no breaks. Yes was considering how to do a value rating! Will be something we consider more for sure! Cheers Dennis!
You nailed it with the goosebumps tires making all the difference on dirt. I know theres all these "new" fancy tire combos. Nothing beats the tried an true goosebumps !
Kiwis the "Hard earned money" That line was soo touching â€ïž & Kiwis I Loved the honest review đđđ . Keep Smiling with full of energy as you both always do kiwis đđđ

I absolutely LOVE this car! One of my favorites! Only car that I have left! What other cars would you recommend?? Great video! Keep em coming!!!
Thank you!! Depends on what you like to do. I'm really enjoying the Losi Tenacity DB Pro with some Proline tires on it at the track! Or perhaps build a kit? We are building the Team Associated 6.2D atm. Stay tuned for this weekend we will unbox the Redcat Kaiju!
Nice review! I agree with ya about the arrma chassis made of butter. My Mojave chassis is already tweaked! Joe lookin sharp, i have the same shirt. Amber looking lovely as always. Take care, and looking forward to your losi review!đđ€
Thank you Ryan! Yes the losi review will be coming soon! Cheers! Take care đ

You use metric, I'm so pleased. :)
This is how we will do all our RC's so can compare our opinion on them :)
Thanks đ„

Thank you!đ
Hey guys, if u need any 8th scale buggy wheels/tires, redcat has ALL the premounts on clearance! I bought 8 sets (2 packs of every compound, clearance prices of $10 a set of 4!). Only good while on clearance tho & while they last!
(Too, I buy ALL my small crawler lipos there "clearance") at $10 each.
Thanks for the heads up!! Will take a look!
Make sure u vent your tyres on the outside and tape the the hole on the inside of the wheel, then they won't get mud and water in them and also help with them expanding, great vids take care gav
Good tip! Thank you :)
Great review! The Typhon 6s is awesome. đȘ Just as you mentioned, the stock radio needs to be better. Shame on Arrma and Horizon for providing that on the 3s and 6s RCs.
One tip: You must vent the tires. Very important for durability and maintaining good wheel balance. Check the comments from Ian. It covers the steps.
Thank you! Thanks for the tip, we will definitely be keeping a closer eye on that! Cheers đ»
Think you for doing this . I have 4s mojave update part if get stimulus check going to buy one of that thing think you preview on this vehicle
8.5 but nice review đđŸ
Good job guys...... ;)
Cheers!đ»
How's the Flysky NB4 holding up after a few months? Worth buying?
Great! Had no issues with it, super easy to use, we love it! highly recommend it!
Thank you for this evaluation !!!

@@TheRcKiwis Thank you!!! I hope too.
Gee i don't know why it broke i was only jumping it 70 ft in the air lol awesome video guys
Hehehe it should survive 7000ft!!! ....đŹđ
@@TheRcKiwis don't forget the parachute lol
Think you doing this have fun rc I have a mojave on 4s upgrade parts . If get
Great review!!! I'm an Arrma fan but do you think it is worth it given the required upgrades? Getting $$$$ when you need so many upgrades!!!
I think stock is fine if you not sending it on huge jumps! If you are I would at the very least get metal chassis braces. đ
If you tape the holes that are in the rims with gorilla tape and vent the tires they will not balloon as bad. They will also slingshot out all the water, dirt and debris that works its way in their. Your foams and glue from the rim's to tires last along time. Use 3/16 piece of brass tubing on the end of a drill. Sharpen the inner part to punch a clean hole in the tire. Make sure you get the tire piece out of the brass tubing before you punch each hole. You want two holes in each tire 180 degrees from each other. Does this make sense? Hope this helps and bash on!
I do this to all my wheels its a must!
Hey Ian! Thank you for the advice! Is it best to do it that way or can I take a normal drill bit to drill two holes into each tire? Cheers
@@TheRcKiwis if you use a regular drill bit it will not make a clean hole. good luck and happy bashing my friend! Love your content!
@@TheRcKiwis regular drill bit will grab/tear/destroy the foams.
Need HELP Joe or Amber? Got to replace the chassis on my typhon 3s...real nervous to attempt..been looking for a help video do you know of any? And be the last time I ever buy any of the plastic junk 3s line from.Arrma....thanks you 2...your the best
Hey Jonathan! Here's an idea for you, draw the outline of the chassis on a piece of cardboard, then punch holes in where the screws go. When you take the screws our of your chassis place them in the correct hole in the cardboard. Then when you put back together you will know what screws go where. I was worried my first time but afterwards released its actually super easy! Cheers!
@@TheRcKiwis great idea...thanks for your time once again!!đ
Hey, you guys should definitely review the Arrma Tailon 6s blx, I would like to see your guys thoughts as I'm thinking of buyingđ
Iâm in the market for a arrma car to which one should I buy for a neighborhood and a track? A 6s or 3s car
@@jack_1106 are you a Begginer or decent at driving fast rc cars?
@@kahnmchugh9334 Iâve had a speed boat and a slash vxl but it was on 2s but I want to learn fast
@@jack_1106 a 3s car would take you to around 60-90km but a 6s would take you to 90-130km depending on what car and how charged the battery is
@@kahnmchugh9334 Iâm thinking of the arrma typhoon 3s or any of the 6s models I just donât know which one I should get
So rc kiwis which do u rate better than this1 đ€ thanks for the show alot of work inside đŻđ
The ARRMA Mojave for sure!!
How do you guys like that flysky noble radio?
Hey! Yes we love it! Use it all the time đ
Is the range pretty good, i want to use it for speed runs but im wondering if the range is good?
They are just too many good ARRMA 6s RCs that this one gets pushed aside IMO
So cool to see fellow kiwis on youtube with an indepth review, thanks for giving it sh*t.
đ
Would you get the 3s typhon to compare ??
Perhaps one day đ
Awesome review, I would think that you need to stick to your kick ass MAXX for bashing and keep this one for lighter bashing / ripping around / speed runs and track use.
What a sweet RC, you beat the snot out of it - wow!
I would never treat my RCâs like that, but hey - you have a larger budget and a kick ass channel so I say - Go for it!
My wife says she Loves your top, cute cute!
Cheers Jeff!! Looks like you have been binge watching TheRcKiwis đ Hope we are not boring you too much!
@@TheRcKiwis I injured my shoulder at work so now Iâm home trying to heal up.
Physical therapy starts next week, but in the mean time Iâm really enjoying your videos!
Thank you for creating them, Iâm sure itâs a lot of work.
Take care - Stay safe đ

Howâs the new transmitter?
Very very good! Highly recommend! đ
Amber always lookin like a snack đ

is the controller that bad? i thought Arrma was owned by Verizon and noble for transmitters
Hi guys, If you land ANNY rc from 40-50F upsidedown it Iâll break, itâs not fair to give it a 6/10 then. Itâs a good car. If you dive in sand and water you have to tape the inner holes and drill outer holes. So donât blame the tires for that. The tires are not so good but definitely not bad. Itâs a OK review but donât blame the car for that.đ the other scores where pretty accurate thoughđ
The numbers are based on our opinion, we have crashed many RCs that haven't had as much damage as the typhon. For us! Wait until you see how much abuse we give this Mojave. We land upside down from bigger jumps....đŹđ video coming soon đ
TheRcKiwis well, if you land it upside down it Iâll break to!đ
Or does it....đ
Yup we proud kiwis aee whanau.We work hard for our money..Go hard or Go home loll...your guys Arrma Typhoon V4 looks awsome sweet u got me hooked..brother..đŻđŻđŻâ€â€â€đŻđđ€đ€đ yup u too stay safe..kia ora
Cheers bro! Kia Ora
You cant land sideways or upside down with a 30ft jump an blame an RC to be weak lol. Nice review đ
Only because we can compare it to other's we have and have survived similar or worse landingsđ But we hear your point! Thank you!
I disagree landing wrong on 30ft jump an breaking, is kinda weak. I've bashed traxxas way worse than that. Maybe break a bearing carrier but not bending towers an breaking stuff
I would never bash my rcâs like that these things cost too much money.Yea itâs fun but kind of pointless going full throttle and hitting motocross Ramps.Arma is tough unless you jump them 200 feet in the air lol
It's one of those things.. we love to do but suffer the consequences... At least it makes for some fun videos!
9 times out of ten if ya land it...it takes it...bashing is part of the hobbie...sorry your bank roll cant support it....try baking!!! Lol đđ
Jonathan Lacroix I can afford it I am just in to vintage cars mostly and I baby them.I understand though bashing these newer cars is fun and makes great content for videos. Lol
I like your videos...but man the music in the background all the time when your just talking makes it hard to concentrate and hear what your saying!!
Sorry! I think I must have accidently set the music levels too loud in this video... Hopefully the newer videos are better đ
These do bend - yes if you land badly from 40 feet lol
đ
this chicks eyebrows are hilarious
Such a kind comment, thanks đ„° But it seems your name is TheJudgeOfGood....
Yeah thing bend when driven WRONG! BREAK TOO LOL đ
Our videos are all from an amateurs perspective! So lots of bad driving and crashes here đđ»
43rd like.
I hate these kind of reviews because itâs so stupid. No matter what kind of car you get when you do the shit that you do in these videos itâs going to break, they be like âwe dropped the car from the moon and the chassis bent, not very good.â
Might wanna learn how to drive them properly before you give them a review
Thank you so much for your view! Hope you come back for our new review!đđ
@@TheRcKiwis If you learn how to drive I will
Teach us master đ
Bad driver!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words Steve Adam's đ„°â€
