And the Moral of this story is, Associated 1st,,, Arrma 2nd,,, Rlaarlo 3rd!! Parts availability is something you should consider when buy any of these buggies😉
Your right, parts are important. But out the box, rlaarlo takes it. Its the fastest and built for 3s. Arrma got it on upgrades and parts. Team associated is the smoothest drive, with the best tires. Wish they had more upgrade parts. If the 14b cost the same as a grom it would be #1.
I can’t find no 16bl30 on Amazon for one day delivery, I got cheapo esc in my grom and I think it’s dieing, won’t output power to motor hundred percent so goes slow, I used a 3s with it when I crashed it at 40mph and since it went from full throttle to dead stop mighta burnt it up or motor gone but I got extra motors
Typhon having rear diff issues for a lot of people including my wife. Her rear diff blew in less than a week running exclusively at the skatepark. Still waiting for replacement. On back order everywhere. None to be found. 🤬
aww man, yeah that sux.. thats why i went with hot racing diff lockers in the rear. eliminate the gearing completely. in the front, I have the upgraded diffs now. my local hobby shop and a set in stock and i zoomed to go get them before someone bought them. but if you cant get the upgraded diffs go with the diff locker.. they are on ebay. 16 bucks
Bearings? There are bearings in the diff or the ones on the outside by the diff cups? These little joints are new to me.. still a lot to learn. But if you ask me anything about 5th scales, now thats a different story.
i had the reflex 14 , it is a smooth awesome car, handles and drive better than the grom. the issues is the parts are hard to find , limited upgrades , and the battery mount is a deal breaker!
Yeah. Its smooth for sure, upgrades are limited too. I solved the battery issue. Lol. Just use velcro. Lol. Im on a hunt for metal diffs that i can retro fit in it. I know one of these chinese rcs with metal drivetrains can be modified to fit. Because this plastic stuff aint it for the long run.
are the stock tires on the typhon same size as the reflex? If so are the tires closer in size to the front or rear of the buggy? And which is better for harder dirt, the reflex tires or typhon? Thanks.
For a 2s car stock under $250 the reflex 14b is a beast.Nothing can beat it for the price. I have both 14b and typhon grom…. Grom don’t come close to touching it
Nope. Losi micro b has the best value. Super stable and everything was well thought out for $100. Living room racing. No need to leave home to have rc fun.
Great vid again. Love to see these 14th scale comparisons. That velcro use, instead of them little pins is awesome man.
Thanks for watching bro. Yeah those lil pins had to go. Nope!! Lmao.
A follow up vid on comparing these rc's sounds good!
ohh yeah, its on the way.. for sure. thanks for watching.
The power of tv is a trip 4reels brody! Good stuff.
Great video man. Such a fun little car!
Couldn't agree more! Glad you like it bro✊🏾

You check the diffs?

@MrMeDos thank you SO MUCH for the info! Was unaware of the upgrades being available but I'm looking now!
@MrMeDos subscribed! Again, thank you so very much for the education. ♥️
I locked mine front and rear. Running the 1010 and mamba micro just too much for the diffs on the Grom.
Watch the center diff bearings, all on internet about them out of box locked up or freezing up and going bad on the 14b TA

@@MrMeDosyou should service all diffs before running them anyway. Just see if it’s spinning. And maybe upgrade while there. Diffs come out crazy fast.
Kinda hard to tell from the video but is the typhon the same size as the 14b?
yup.. only difference is the 14b has longer arms.. typhon grom sits a lil higher. but they are the same size. all three of them
i had the reflex 14 , it is a smooth awesome car, handles and drive better than the grom. the issues is the parts are hard to find , limited upgrades , and the battery mount is a deal breaker!

Closer to the rear size of the reflex. On dirt or grass go with typhon. Smoother surface like street or carpet racing , go with reflex tires.
Hey man im lookin for some foam tires for the 14b, will those on your typhoon fit and where did you find em? Thanks
Yeah they will fit 12mm hex. I got them from amainhobbies.com they BSR racing 1/10 scale on road wheels. Fits like a glove.
it's still accelerating when you stop you need a longer run, you can hear it is still spooling up when you hit the brakes
Yup. I need space for sure
For a 2s car stock under $250 the reflex 14b is a beast.Nothing can beat it for the price. I have both 14b and typhon grom…. Grom don’t come close to touching it
Nope. Losi micro b has the best value. Super stable and everything was well thought out for $100. Living room racing. No need to leave home to have rc fun.
Do you have a link for the blue shocks?
not worth it bro, they are to short in the rear and springs are way to soft for the 14b
does that rlaarlo have Phillips screws?
Yes it does bro 🤮… hex too
Don’t that thing come with plastic diffs , not good 😢
All metal bro, everything is metal.
Can I be Mr me tres?
🤣🤣🤣
‼
Where’s the raffle rewards??? Bro ha!
Lmao. Its coming bro. Im glad you watching bro. I appreciate you man.. 💪🏾
