I got the Granite MEGA through Tower Hobbies, Scratch and Dent sale. Foreign wall charger (throw away garbage anyway) was the only "problem" with my scratch and dent LOL.
@@disciplinerc easily lol. That’s what I run in my Vendetta. 3s blx motor plate, middle driveshaft bearing support, a slipper assembly and spur gear from the vendetta and she’ll be bullet proof on 4s.
100%!!! I got the Typhon Mega for my daughter and the Typhon 3s for me a couple of years ago. They are super fun and exactly what you said...an awesome platform. You can swap some parts and make a Senton or BigRock if you wanted. Lots of possibilities. I do recommend picking up the T-Bone racing front and rear bumper protector thingies (that is the technical term). You will for sure want to buy or make some front shock tower protectors too. Those and the rear wing take major damage when it flips on its lid and grinds across pavement/concrete/kids. 😜 Oh! If I may; I suggest that you should check the wheel axles (stubs) have been thread-locked properly to the driveshafts and to the wheel hexes on all four corners. It was a known issue previously but I do not know if Arrma addressed it more recently. Happy driving!!!
You honestly can't beat this price for the level of car you get,it's actually insane. Drop your favorite brushless setup in and you have the BLX! I've already got a typhon 3s blx so I grabbed a granite!
Not really the brushless will eat the center gear and slipper clutch assembly pretty quick so that has to upgraded to before you got brushless. Been there done that. lol
im ready pick up the granite or this myself if not just for parts my 3s line pretty well used but i do have alot of parts loads . horizon sales must be down the scatch dent just gimmick and new lineups coming out im sure more than just 4s guys .
Such an amazing price for a buggy that is so upgradable. I would bash it hard on 3s and upgrade when it breaks. The 3s BLX setup is a good upgrade but you could put a 4s system in or what ever you wanted. The 550 brushed motor seems to do quite well in grass so really it looks fun stock. I keep upgrading both my 3s Granite and Typhon and have accumulated quite a lot of stock parts so it would be a great investment as a basher. Thanks for sharing.
I installed an Onyx 70amp 3000kv brushless system on my Granite, and it has held up through a couple 3s batteries. Seems fine, so far, but I can tell you, the MEGA slipper clutch will NOT allow you to get all that power to the ground. It slips, even at the tightest setting. I'm assuming, that may be the reason nothing broke? 🤔. Honestly, just plan on upgrading the slipper, input gears and differential outer gears, as the stock setup won't handle the 32p slipper, alone. That's my two cents, anyway.
@@disciplinerc I'm enjoying the MJX Hyper Go H16E great little car to bash in the woods it's the Armma Traxxas lookalike. Also not sure if you seen mate MJX have a buggy on the way which looks epic might get that instead
Its a shame that they dont ship to the middle Europe..... Its disgusting how is everything about rc cars so expensive here in Slovakia... And they wont even ship it here
@@disciplinerc Yeah its unfortunate :/ even Typhon Mega costs here around 340 euro and because that UA/RU ´´war´´ everything is so expensive... its so frustrating... But your videos is like a cure for my frustration xD keep it up bro!
Well, if they did that, it would be a bit ironic, as most people over here in the States, receive a foreign wall charger in the box, causing it to be in the scratch & dent sale. If you got the charger, you could use it lol. (Not that you'd want to though LOL)
tha music at the first 90sec is sick!!!!!!GREAT!!!

Yep same!
These typhons jump so well, awesome buggy😀👍👍👍
Right? So even in the air 👍
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Just bought one 2 hours before the sale ended 😅. Already got a 4s Firma combo for it and a place between my vorteks and vendetta
4s 😳 Bruh!! SEND IT!!1!

I picked one up about a week ago should be finishing up with a 4s build later today best deal out there right now
Omg awesome! I can see the parts flying now...I'll be joining that club soon too 🤣

Yeah, love the platform bruh. Good tip about the axles. Let's just say 'i may have sent her a little too hard buds' and there was smoke...🤣
@@disciplinerc I think the 3s may have been a bit too much...maybe...possibly...more than likely...fer shur-a-lee dere bay... 👍

@@TheMusicHeals.kjhjhhg Challenge accepted!! 🤣
I"m now the proud owner of an Infraction Mega with hopes of a 4s setup later. Thanks for the sale heads up, by the way $160 plus tax, what a deal.
Nice dude!! I just finished with a 6s setup, runs hella fast, vid soon! 😎
Jesus... Arrma firing back at Rlaarlo??? Hmmm. Damn it. I need this buggy now too. Lol
Haha right? It's a great beast for the 💰
I have zero -none, zip, zilch, nil, nada- need for this rig. For a buck-fiddy it can happily sit in the garage until I figure out what to do it.
Haha copy that, I just couldn't help myself bruh 😂
Wow that’s an amazing deal 👍
Thank you man just picked one up to add to my channel this really helps my pocket book especially for getting content for the channel
Very cool! Can't wait to see 😉
150$! Lol. Wicked platform! Can t go wrong man
Yeah buddy!, Did I mention it was only $150? Cause it's only $150
@@disciplinerc wicked
Sounds like a good deal awesome job as always👍👍👍👍

I have one its ok now that it's brushless converted..That was a good price for sure as they were $269 at one point
👍 upgrades here soon too

Nice to hear! Thanks for watching...3s BLX soon 😉👍
What a bargain 👌👍
Seems like pretty good value for money 👍looks nice and runs good.
Air control on these is just sic!
I've been watching this sale for days. I didn't need a new granite, but I got one anyway hahaha. It was so cheap!!
Oh I know it bruh 😅👍
Newbie here. Just bought the car for at Tower. Would you do a video on brushless upgrade for this model?
In did a 'speedrun' install, but I'll do a slowed down version too 👍
Maybe you can sneak that in under the radar at the Rlaarlo speed challenge! No one will notice!😂 Great video brother!👍🏻🔥🍻excellent deal too!
🤣🤣 I'll use a wide angle lens!!
@@disciplinerc 😝
killer deal !!!!!!!!!!! i got semton n a typoon 6s but think for 150 i might grab one lol
Haha right? Great to give to a bud who has never bashed so they don't smash yours 😂
So dope still don't get how it's so cheap I get its brushed but platform wise really good price need some prices in the UK like this haha
Copy that, we got lucky on this one I think!
@@disciplinerc deffo a bargain
I seen it so many times on there. I should have pulled the trigger, but already have a Big Rock & Natorious 🤷♂️
I hear ya, I already have more then I have space for. Can't. Help. Myself. 🙄
can the mega platform take a brushless system out of the box or would it need some upgrades first?

We're gonna find out soon buds!! 🤣🤘
Not just an 8th scale buggy, an Arrma 8th scale buggy for 150 bucks. You can't even score a Bangood buggy of this quality for that price.
I know right? 🤘😎
Would they deliver to the UK as currently its £269 here which is full price
Hmm hard to say 🤔 shipping overseas may be more then it's worth 😬
