- Today we got our hands on the NEWLY RELEASED ARRMA TYPHON GROM!!
Not only will we be doing and unboxing and first impressions, were also throwing in a 2n1 Brushless Motor and ESC Combo from Spectrum were also putting on Aluminum Diff Covers and Aluminum Oil Filled Shocks.
We Just made the First TLR TYPHON GROM..
One of the BEST RC vids I've seen!!!!!!
You’re Awesome for watching
We’ll keep making them every week for you.
Any suggestions for next weeks Video?
Excellent thank you!
No!!! Thank you! 😁
Nice work looks pretty good
Thanks! You're going to love yours
Bigger tires and will have a big rock grom!
That’s not a bad idea 🤔💡
I picked up 1 yesterday and love it more than all my others plus granite grom it ran over 30 minutes on the first charge, 10 out of 10 I give it,
I Need 3 more.. just because
Any chance we could get a step-by-step installation video for the brushless system and a full parts list?
I might do a full build live stream soon
Great job covering the Typhon Grom. I'm in the process of upgrading mine and didn't know that the servo was held in by the ESC. I purchased an adjustable motor mount and M0.5 pinion and now I need a Hot Racing Servo mount. Total cost is about $35 without motor, ESC and receiver. So basically by the time your done you could have bought 2 Arrma Groms but it should be worth it. The stock parts are very reasonable so it should prove to be a great little buggy on 2s. I like the 2 in one motor from Arrma but to save money I'm just using what I have for the electronics.
Upgrading your car is half the fun. Sometimes I enjoy it more that actually driving it
I feal the same way. It's relaxing to work on cars. The excitement comes when you test drive a car after upgrades. @@TestDriverRC
@@RCRoads I use my Test Drivers for that.. I’m just The Mechanic
Man when you showed me that thottle % on the side I was like whattt. turns out my granite grom has been on 75% thus whole time lol....
Turn that thing up!!!
Immediate grom upgrade. Subscription earned lol
I did run it for 5mins before I Fully Upgrading it.. so I had some restraint
Is that 2 in 1 esc 3s capable? Having trouble fitting 3s esc inside lol. Great vid bro! Also one more question lol, do you have a link for those shocks? I got the kyx Grom shocks but the springs are way too stiff!😤
The ESC is very capable but you will need a new pinion with 2mm shaft to use it. As far as the Shocks I'd go with Losi mini b aluminum shocks
Rc hobbies in vista ? Great shop. Good review. I want to get a typhon from now.
That's Definitely the Shop to get it. Come on in and I'll Greet you in Person
Great video bro
Can you please tell me what pinion
I can't find 🙏🙏
Absolutely! You’ll need a 2.0mm pinion for the 2n1 motor esc.
The stock pinion is a 2.3mm inner diameter. Make sure to get a MOD 0.5 and 16T fits the stock motor mount.
I have had one for months it's called the team associated reflux it's the world championship model everything is metal
From my experience you want to keep some plastic parts..
Plastic flexes.. metal bends
I have to say worth the extra $10 just for the body mount but it seem to have more. Mad on Brushless.
NO BODY CLIPS!! It's so easy to use and seals the chassis up real nice
and the fan is nice.
What aluminum shocks and diff covers did you end up using? Looks great with the upgrades!
The Diff Covers are for a Granite GROM on Amazon. And the Shocks are my new brand I'll be releasing very soon.
Can I use the same stock 18 pinion on the new motor, if you don’t mind please share the link for the 2mm shaft replacement if I were to run 3s
No you’ll need a aftermarket 2mm pinion for the 2n1 spektrum Motor ESC. And it will only run on 2s..
won’t power up on a 3s lipo
Did you have to grind down something in the front area to fit the GPM aluminum diff?
I ordered front and rear and was informed the front has to be filed down to fit between front shock towers??
Not at all.. it was bolt on
Where did you get your upgraded parts did covers shocks . Amazon has the spectrum 2 in 1.cheers thanks for the video
Thank you for Watching, Glad it helped. The Diff Covers are for a Granite GROM But the Typhon GROM shares the same parts.
The Shocks are my brand I'll be releasing soon.
@@TestDriverRC I subscribed so I will keep my eye out for your shocks when they come out. Any hobby store should have that granite grom diff covers.? I'm located in Canada. I usually go to Great hobbies
@@benwilson2420 I'll have them in our CZcams Shop as soon as it opens.
I had ordered these Diff Covers for my Granite GROM before the car released. I was lucky they fit the Typhon GROM.
I think they will be available in stores very soon with how popular they are.
I go to Remote Control Hobbies in Vista CA
@@TestDriverRC awesome you have a shop. I will keep my eyes open. Do you see a front steer set so you can do adjustments. I'm kinda surprised when you see it on cheaper same scale brand like wltoys. Cheers bud
Awesome video 👍
What weight oil did you use in the shocks ?
I went with a 50 but I think it's a bit high.. I'd go with a 35
Thanks
Are you selling your shocks yet ?
@@zapatasgarage9006 it'll be very soon 🤞
wha tis the upgrade button that made it faster
There a switch on the side of the transmitter that raises the speed from 50% to 100% throttle
How can I get the steering servo Mount what are the truck did you take that out of to upgrade my typhoon
The servo mounts were pulled from a Tamiya TT-02 kit. But any 1/10 or 1/18 scale universal servo mounts should be compatible.
@@TestDriverRC thank you so much bro
Where do I get motor from and servo mounts thanks
I used the servo mount off a tt02 and the motor at the hobby shop
Make sure to get the correct pinion
What button is that you hit to go faster? Is it on a training mode by default?
I had it on 50% throttle out the box. I switched it to 100%
Where did you get the aluminum dif covers?
Amazon. They are listed for the Granite Grom
@@TestDriverRC thanks! Just making sure they were the same covers.
Shiiiiiiid, YUP!!!
I Know huh..
Put the granite tires on it now
That's a funny idea.. but I want to try now
Does the motor mount come in the motor mount kit or could you have used the factory installed mount?
I went with the Factory Motor Mount and Pinion.
Can I send you mine to do the upgrade? Brand new in the box. 🤔
I'm surprised you're keeping yours in the box!! Take that thing out to bash before you decide to upgrade so you can see the difference your upgrades will make! Then I can help YOU work on your car. I know you can do it
@@TestDriverRC 10-4
Take the wheels off the granite and have a truggified monster Typhon grom
I'll Definitely give that a try!
I did the same upgrade as you, but my system is cogging for some reason. Let me know if your system is cogging peace and blessings.
I haven't had that issue with mine. Could me your mesh is off with your gears
Is that the 6000kv?
Yessir!! 6000 2n1
Outstanding! I just picked up the HW 4500 combo, but I’ve got a brand new 6000 2 in 1 in an unused MiniB. Maybe I’ll give it a shot.
TLR tuned? Not.
YaHuuu!!
Too fast. No fun. Stick to brushed.
It's not fast enough!!!
Thar thing is way to small I don't like RC cars that are smaller then 1/10 scale there lame lol
They are great for the quick fix if you need fun in a smaller space. It would be a fun one for the Skatepark
You’ve clearly never owned and tuned a Team Associated Reflex 14b! They are awesome and many clubs started race class’ in 2019 based on that awesome platform. I’ve owned over 50 RC’s and the Reflex is one of my favorites. They released a Reflex MT a few months ago and although I haven’t owned I hear it’s supposed to be awesome. Also, the 12 scale LC Racing truggy is AMAZING and my Ho Bao Hyper TT 12 scale Truggy is awesome as well. Some of the small scale stuff are a lot of fun at skate parks. With that said, I’m more of a 10 scale MT and 8 scale buggy and Truggy guy.
@@williamperri3437checked out these models and it was very helpful, thanks! But great video by Test Driver RC, many people like to educate themselves on what’s in the market, not only just the best platform, not many informative videos on the typhon grom online from yet, thanks this was very helpful.
Now if it was only ran on dirt!! DIRTS FOR RACING ASPHALT IS FOR GETTING THERE!!
I agree.. we need to take it out to the dirt!
