When converting the Typhon 550 to 6s, you needed a motor upgrade right, or no? I'm just now getting into the rc world and wanting to upgrade my Typhon 550 to 6s. I'm thinking I'll need a new ESC aswell as a 6s motor, gears, input gear, batteries and possibly shocks... Input with what youve done with yours would be awesome. Thanks
Basically everything, after the cost u would have been better off just buying the 6s but that's just common sense talking and ik not too peeps out r fluent in that language. Js it gonna waste a ton of dough. Hope this helps
@@thenault20 While you are absolutely correct, it is better to get the 6s platform for the power so you dont break, however, I did just do the same conversion for someone who JUST does streets runs, blx185 esc/2050kv/6s, just the 0.8 mod slipper and pinion, stock diffs and all, doesnt break and does well, Now bashing and track racing is a different story lol
I went from 2s to 6s also.. I moved my esc blx185 and bought shorter batteries on Amazon(goldbat) Gotta do a lot of melting to get new strap location but that's easy with a torch and flathead screw driver lol
@Torian Blair yeah I know, but fyi there are quite a few who have done this conversion. It can't take a punch like the 6s but I'd be interested to see how the car performs with that 8th scale motor and esc. I've only seen pictures of others but no running video.
@@clarkkent317 well if it CANT TAKE PUNCK MAN CLEARLY THATS A NOOOO! WHERE DO LAY THE POWER MAN GEEZ IM SURE THOES FEW PEOPLE HAVE ALSO DESTROYED THEIR PROJECT as well bro 😕.
Hex drivers would make your life soooo much easier. Sounds & looks like the slipper clutch is too loose... Should lift easily on launch. #deathtotheallenwrench
Do not do this.. it's not good idea. Arrma has 3 typhons version for reason. I did this upgrade but with VXL6S and castle 2200kv . It is not so easy because you have to change spur and clutch system to at least 3S and that is $50 -$70 part alone. The tires are issue too since I only got one run from the s6 typhon katar tires I buy on ebay. They went bold from center out indicating no traction. And you will not have AVC.
That was one hell of a test run after all that shpeal 😂
I stand corrected! It fits!
Hey bro do tou have a aftermath video of the upgrade? Mine lasted 2 runs before it took out the spur gear and blew the plastic housing.
How you connect two batteries
Funny how yall are clearly watching him do this and saying it can't be done, or you shouldn't 😂😂😂😂😂
Should fly if it stays together 👍🏁
Nice music!
Brother, you making an Rc toy car. The background music you play is to epic.
This songs belong to movies were Gods are born.
What Motor did u use I’m gonna try this
Did u change to mod 1 gears my friends getting one
What's your gearing? Like pinion size and spur gear size? Did you change the sour gear from the original 91t?
changed to 54t steel spur and 20t pinion
@@StrangeSound212 link to where I can buy the part? The spur gear?

AWESOME! MERCA!!!! I over power everything. Why not?! Very cool! I’m inspired, I will do this to one of my 3s rigs! Love the theatrical serious music!
Hey, I'm wondering about the slipper clutch and input shafts. I hear they break on even 3s?
Clearly it over power plastic at 150 amps point on view lol.. sliper clutch meet melted cheese 🧀 lmao 🤣
It burns up and stripped. And it's $50.
The body definitely ain't fitting that new esc. Curious to see the outcome though.
Body fits .

@@DonGetSlapt so I could put the motor and stuff from the 6s typhon into the 3s version?
I got a mega running 26t pinion a redline t8 1950kv with a max6 esc running 6s so far have gotten 84mph should in theory do 110mph
+Mike Pederson some say it can’t be done but only if they knew👍🏽

where did you get wheels and tires
Kept on the stock wheels later on go Hoons
No issues with steel spur? Held the power ok?
+Ryndel no problems worked great
@@StrangeSound212 awesome thanks!

Umm no lol its already destroyed by now im sure 🙃😅 they make a blx 3s and 6s also new 8s ya know!?

6s too fast

@@StrangeSound212 is it still alive
@@leepeezy alive and kickin but it’s old news now just got the tuned Typhon and I’m going 8s
need to tighten ur slipper clutch
2S model will not work on 3S system. And 3S will not work with 6S. As us they break forget upgrading to more power.
