"Ripper!!!" NEW ARRMA Typhon GROM 4x4 Stock vs Brushless Power
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 окт 2024
- True RTR in it's purest buggy form. Big fun in a small package. Here's my first impressions with this small scale buggy racer. She moves nice straight out of the box. She's a little bit squirrely with the 6000kv brushless set-up....Lol. Super fun small scale!!!
UPDATE 😱. The Hobbywing Quicrun setup is smoother, more powerful, and cheaper than the Spectrum 6000kv motor/esc combo in this video. Have a 2nd Typhon Grom in the family running the Hobbywing 2435 6500kv with 16BL30 ESC and it rips with an 18T mod 0.5 pinion. Used a 3D printed ESC mount from RCB off eBay to mount it. In a nutshell, thanks to everyone that recommended the Hobbywing setup!!! 🍻
Is the Hobbywing setup good on 2s as well?
@@FrifjellDrivesRCyes indeed. I'm running the stock 2s Lipo and it rips
Could you please upload an update with the 2435 configuration? Would this accept 3s or only 2s.
@@CzarCustomI've been chilling out since recent hernia surgery so I haven't been doing video/uploads. Hopefully soon. The Hobbywing 16BL30 ESC is rated 2-3s. The 2345 4500kv is rated 2-3s. The 6500kv is only rated to 2s. I'm more than happy with 2s. personally.
@@richduperbash2966 I wanted to add that Hobbywing also recommends to use the 6500 KV motor only on-road. I believe this translates to avoid running it in gras or so.
This is definitely the best running most fun to watch video ive seen for the Arrma Typhon Grom hands down. Excellent thats so much fun watching you surf the bowls at the skatepark. This little Typhon Grom RIPS man. I have to get myself one. I was looking at the 1/8 scale but the Grom is damned AWESOME 👌👍💪
Thanks so very much Brother 🤗. Truly appreciate the kind words 🍻
I converted mine to brushless with the Hobbywing quicrun. I found at the skatepark it was so much more fun running the 1/14 scale Hoonicon street tires. Better grip but can still slide. Give them a try. It makes for a fun street basher. Also any 1/10 touring car street tires with the smaller hex work great too for the skate park. You are an epic RC car driver.
Thanks so very much for the kind words and tips my friend 🤗. Such an awesome little platform!!! I'll definitely experiment with some different tires. Really appreciate the feedback and suggestions 🍻😎💪👊👊
No, thank you for always providing the epic footage, specs, detsils, skills, and upgrade research for these RC cars for us to try an emulate. Saves us time and money.
I ran this set up after I seen you do it and the motor caught on fire
Holy crap 😳. Did the mesh seem ok? I had to fudge mine slightly outward with the Losi 18T. My temps have been fine so far.
@@richduperbash2966 I thought it seemed alright until it hit grass and strained itself
That's a WHOLE LOTTA FUN that everybody can afford!!! Wicked in the bowls!!!! Great bash! thanks for posting!!!
Thanks so much Brother Avery 🤗. Great to see ARRMA jump into the small scale arena. Such a fun and affordable little ripper 😍
Will m2c start making grom parts?
@@magnusstone maybe. they really dont need anything
Great action! I can't believe how well the Grom performs. The information on the pinion shaft size was very helpful. Great driving skills my friend. 👍
Thanks so very much Brother 🤗. Glad the info was helpful. Yeah I'm super impressed with this little ripper!!! So glad ARRMA pulled the small scale trigger 😍
Nice to see you get one and have tons of fun
Thanks Jason 🤗. Couldn't resist really. After seeing her close up and feeling how solid she was it was a done deal 😍. Super fun with incredible handling!!! Much appreciated. 🍻
I got into drifting (RC and then in real life lol) so I’ve been away from bashing for awhile. A guy at the track mentioned the Grom today and I immediately went home and checked your channel. Awesome to see that you’re still killing it!
I just ordered two Typhon Groms. One to build into a brushless basher, and one to see how it does on our drift tracks. We have plenty of 1/10 scale options for drift chassis, but the 1/18 options are fragile or expensive, or both lol!
If I can make the Grom slide well with some retrofitted drift parts and a gyro then it might explode in popularity in the drift scene for the chassis alone. Can’t wait for the UPS truck!
I will say out of all my Arrma RC cars their Grom lineup is the most durable lineup yet
Such a cool platform! I hope the aftermarket takes to ‘em. I can see lots of cool custom stuff being built by the talented dudes out here, grom Outcast would have been cooler than the granite but they nailed the Typhon! thanks for the share 🤘🏼🤘🏼🚀🔥
Thanks Brother 👊. I'm already seeing a fair amount of aftermarket bits for these little guys. An Outcast Grom would've been awesome!!! Such a cool little platform. The definitely nailed the Typhon 😍
The skatepark is growing bigger and bigger😉
LMAO 😂. That's kinda what it felt like adjusting to this little fella 🍻
Glad you picked up one of these and threw a brushless system in it. The granite grom is cool and all but the Typhon + skate park is where it’s at! The handling on this rig is pretty damn good for its size compared to the granite. So much fun to rip around! 🤘🚀🔥🔥
Thanks Jacob 😁. Definitely had my sights on the Typhon. Absolutely killer for ripping the skatepark 😍. So impressed with the handling. Brushless is a little bit squirrely 😱🤣🤣
So awesome. Glad you featured this little fella!
Thanks Brother 🤗. I was genuinely excited to grab one of these little rippers 😎
I want one ❤ I put that hobbywing system in my granite grom and it's crazy. Quad backflips all day on 3s.
That's awesome to hear about the HW setup 😱🤣. Look forward to trying it out soon. Loving this little Typhon 😍
Great Video and driving 😊I want one for my collection.And Yes brushless Really good ESC And Motor Combo.Keep the good work up my fellow Rc friend 😊
Now that's how you drive an rc so we can see how it really performs. Thank you
Thank you Brother 🍻
Yo brother I enjoy your videos you were the very first RUclipsr I started watching when I started this awesome hobby in my eyes I think your the best you do some awesome things with rc cars number 1 driver definitely the best in jumping keep it up your awesome dude
Thanks so very much David for the kind words Brother 🤗. Just had hernia surgery today so I'm taking it slow and easy for a few weeks. Truly appreciate your comment and appreciate the support my friend 🍻😎💪👊👊
here i am with all my big expensive large scale and fast bashers, little did I know the Grom Typhon would be my go to basher that's safe enough for my 6 year old nephew. great running footage, this park was made for the Grom!
Thanks so much Brother 🤗. Agree 100%. The little Grom is pure RC buggy fun 😍. So agile and fast for it's size. Challenges the reflexes and handles great. Love my large scales, but this little ripper is so easy to load and go 😂. Big props for getting your nephew out there 😍
That thing is killer another awesome run bro thanks Rich!!👊🤟
Thank you Brother 🤗🤙🤙
I was hoping you would pick one of these mini typhon's up. The fact that it not only geld up in that insanity of a park but was able to hit the same lines you normally hit which is no easy bashing but did it in style qs always! Gotta get myself one and I like that blue body(good ol tribute to the OG Typhon that we all know and love ). Arrma really has diversified quite a bit over the last few years now I just wish they would make a 1/5 typhon!
Thanks so much Chris 🤗. I was waiting for my shop to stock them. Wasn't too interested in the Granite. The Typhon is so crisp and agile 😍. Love this color scheme 🥰🥰. The clipless body system is solid and so easy. A 1/5 Typhon would be a dream come true 😱🚀🚀
Reminds me a lot of the old Losi mini 8ight when they first came out! Super fun little cars, I haven’t got a Typhon grom yet but definitely will when work slows down and I get time to bash again 🤘🏻🤞🏻 epic video, feel like the skatepark is my favorite place for the small scale stuff!
Yeah I've wanted a small scale since first seeing the mini Revo and Losi's through the years. You'll definitely like this little ripper Steve 😁. She handles awesome and feels very solid in the hand. Perfect for the skatepark 😍
Hello rich,man as always a great bash,the best one I've seen on it,as always you put em through the paces,be waiting for the next video good day!!!
Thanks so very much Thomas 🤗. Happy bashing Brother 🍻🤙🤙
Awesome with the brushed off the hook with the brushless love it
Thank you Brother 😁. Agree 100% with the motors 👍. ARRMA did awesome with this little guy.
Yes they did
Did you use the stock receiver plate?
I initially cut the legs off the stock plate and mounted my Spectrum directly to the servo (not recommended). You can order the ARRMA aftermarket ESC mount or grab one from RCB off eBay. Used an RCB one for my son's Typhon Grom with the Hobbywing setup (see pinned comment).
Incredible session 😮
Thanks so very much Brother 🤗
Question. How did you mount that heatsink on the Firma motor? The factory one is to big.
WOW 😳😂. That mini joker is super agile and quick! Impressive to durability and speed for a stock setup. Definitely gonna one up for my son. Stock electronics are adequate and plenty to rip around and have Fun. Awesome run brother. Very noticeable difference going brushless. What a ripper 😂.
Thanks so very much Brother Chris 🤗. Absolutely love the handling and simplicity of design 😍. Such a great value for this little ripper!!! Brushless is a bit wild on harder throttle, but so fun trying to maintain control 😂. Truly appreciate it Brother!!! 🍻😎💪👍👍
How did you mount the new spectrum motor to the motor plate
It's a direct swap onto the motor plate if you use a Losi or Robinson Racing mod 0.5 2mm shaft 18T pinion. I bent the stock heat sink to fit the smaller brushless motor. Used adjustable pliers, channel lock style.
These Groms are so cool for what they are. I herd that Arrma is going to do the to the Kraton Grom soon and some EXB versions down the line. I definitely have pick up this mini Typhon for sure 😂…
Yeah the price point and performance is impressive. Been waiting years to grab a small scale and am stoked ARRMA released these 😱. Can't wait to see the variations. 🍻
Absolutely love your channel!! Just subbed up! Are you still running stick diffs? I just put a 3s brushless system into mine and you will definitely need upgraded diffs if your going 3s with your hobbywing setup.
Thanks so much Brother 🤗. I'm likely sticking with 2s for now. Truly appreciate the heads up about needing a diff upgrade with 3s. Might experiment with the suspension next, but I'm impressed with the performance overall. 🍻
Definitely. This lil rig is going to do so much for bringing new people in to the hobby!
Damn. Even stock it looks like a lot of fun. I might just pick one up! For when I travel around 😂
Super fun straight out of the box Jose 👊. Actually grabbed a 2nd one for my son Andrew and gonna try a 21T pinion. The brushed motor feels sensored. Super smooth throttle and brake response.
I was so close to buy one brother Rich❤, have motors and esc at home. But not sure bout the rough G-Pit..as a Skatepark killer youbdef showed it will take a LOT. ❤❤Looks super dialed❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much dear Brother 😍. Not sure the T Grom would do well at the G pit. Maybe the Mega pit with more sand 🤔. Ground clearance is limited, but she rips when she can get the power down properly. Very fun and capable buggy my friend 🥰😎💪👊👊
What a great video brother.... I ran mine stock and got 23mph I've since went brushless with the 16bl30 and the 4500kv motor 18t Robinson pinion.... and I also thru on the granite grom tires to give it that truggifed look and feel and it does it perfectly hope I get it out today for a bit of fun....
Keep being a rockstar rich love all the videos
Thanks so very much Brother 🤗. Your setup sounds awesome!!! I thought about grabbing the 4500kv. Probably works great with the bigger tires. Stoked there's so many options for these little guys 😍. Have a great bash my friend 🍻😎🤙🤙
@@richduperbash2966 I got 50mph and it has so much more I barely got into the throttle I need to do something with the diffs it pulls hard under acceleration
That's super fast for this scale 😱😂. I'd have to dial down the steering rate. Haven't gotten into the diffs yet.
@@richduperbash2966 yeah I had to turn the steering down to like 45% and I put the upgraded diffs in b4 running it brushless but I need to open them and fill them up with something a tiny bit thicker ( I think ) and the shocks and give it another try
I also need to find some like baby hoons or some on road tires it would be insane at a skatepark like this lol
Dang, bowl skateparks look incredible for rcs, when doing restrained freerunning since trying to do tricks.
And the good thing is, with these small scale rcs, are extra durable since small scale, is light, usually flexible plastic.
This little guy is about perfect for the skatepark 😍. It's very easy to carry too much speed and go flying out of the bowls with most RC's 😂. This one is extremely agile and tough for it's size.
Great content, Rich! Awesome review.
Thank you Brother 😁
That micro-machine scoots like a bat out of hell!
She's a little ripper 😍
Awesome video, Rich. I just got the new Mini-T 2.0 V2 in the mail yesterday and haven't had a chance to run it yet with the rain today but it has the Spektrum SR315 in it and I'm going to throw the same receiver in my Typhon so I can just use one transmitter. What transmitter do you usually use for bashing?
Thanks so much Brother 🤗. I usually run basic Tactic TTx300 controllers and receivers. Love the ergonomics, range, and trigger/wheel tension. I dropped in a spare SR315 in the Typhon and switched to the SLT3 it was bound to for simplicity. Works fine with this little ripper. 🍻
@@richduperbash2966 right on! Thank you much. Keep filming and I’ll keep clicking.
Got one, and it broke 15 minutes in. Just flat dirt area. Rear is locked up.
That sucks 😔. I'd try and get a warranty replacement if possible. Probably a build error during production would be my guess. You could remove the center driveshaft cover to see if there's a problem at the rear input gear 🤔
What an awesome fun ripper. I put a brushless set up in my granite grom and it's a blast. Against my better judgment tho I didn't swap out the diffs so they didn't last long lol but I'm gonna get the upgrade. I put the 1/16 redcat volcano tires on it and they are fantastic. Still not foam filled but better rotational mass. Would be a great option if you were to wanna make a truggified typhon grom. I do want to grab the typhon next especially after seeing how great it is at the skatepark. Thanks for such a fun video🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
Thanks so very much Nick 🤗. Hopefully my diffs will hold up with this setup. It's good the upgrade option is available 🤙. Appreciate the tip and feedback about the Redcat Volcano tires. I'm sure I'd have better air control with a bit more mass. That said, I honestly love what ARRMA did with the Typhon even bone stock 😍
Do you still have your talion ? I am picking one up the EXB tomorrow I can't wait
Yes I do 🤗. Such an awesome platform. Congrats on your new EXB my friend!!!
I really want to see you truggify this and take it to your big area with the mounds and rip it there to see how well it does. M2C I understand has made some upgrades as well as arrma, so I can’t wait for that video. Thanks.
Sorry I missed your message Steve 👀. These Groms are limited in rougher areas due to size and weight with limited ground clearance. Best for smoother areas in my opinion. I Truggified my son's Typhon and hooked him up with a Hobbywing 6500kv setup 🚀🚀. Would've already done a vid on it, but recovering from hernia surgery 2 weeks ago and have to take it easy. 🍻
@@richduperbash2966 yes I figured that with the smaller groms, you seem to get more out of RC cars than most and it would be neat to see but I totally get it. I think I did see your vid on the truggified typhon and to this day I still love that car, I need to pick one up still. All the best with your recovery, been there done that when I was young so I remember the feeling. Heal quick and thank for the videos, they’re great. 👍
Thank you Brother 🙏
Did you have to do any modifications to get the brushless system in there? Or direct fit?
No modifications for the motor. I did use pliers to bend the motor heat sink, basically to snug it to fit the smaller diameter 2435 brushless Spectrum.
Have you tried the hobbywing setup yet? I’m about to order the same one but gonna try the 6500kv motor out since that 6000 looked like fun
Yes indeed 😱. Been testing the Hobbywing 2435 6500kv with the 16BL30 ESC and it's rips with a 18T Robinson Racing mod 0.5 pinion. It's way smoother than the Spectrum and feels faster 🚀🚀. I used a 3D printed ESC mount from RCB off eBay to mount it up.
@@richduperbash2966 you running it on 2s or 3s with that 6500?
Running 2s only with the stock Spectrum 1400mah. No plans to go 3s.
Not bad for the price, I kinda like the little thing, seems really fun at the skatepark.
I think ARRMA did awesome at this price point 👍. 139$ for a hobby grade ripper with everything included to run right out of the box. Could probably gear up the brushed motor in lieu of going brushless 🤔. The stock motor is extremely smooth.
I just picked one up yesterday, a lot fun in the house , I thought the 2/1 6000 were to small , maybe guys were using 2.3 pinions and why breaking shafts
It hard to find longer can motors over 2535 without going to the 28s
I would almost guarantee guys were using the stock pinion and breaking shafts from wobbly rotation.
brotha! how is goin the grom so far with that set up firma? im about to do the same set up with mine!! same set up!! i see is a clean mount and its looks almost factory.
Sorry I missed your comment Brother 👀. My Firma is still hanging tough. That said, I bought a Hobbywing 2435 6500kv with 16BL30 ESC setup for my son's Typhon Grom and it's way smoother and probably faster. It's cheaper than the Spectrum route, but also used a 3D printed mount from RCB off eBay.
@@richduperbash2966 thanks brotha! im very pleased because im instaled the combo firma and is a beast! no issues at all with the 2.0 pinion! and today im finally buying the typhon 6s and out of the box is a beast!! love it my 2 typhons
@@lonewolf6169that's so awesome to hear Brother 😱!!! The Typhon 6s is still my favorite platform of all time 😍
Did you have to use different size screws for the motor mount on the spektrum setup?
Nope. I reused the same screws. The Spectrum 2435 has 3 sets of thread options to attach the mounting plate. Just picked the one that fits.
How is the motor holding until now i seen alot bad reviews about that motor frying up thinking on doing it mine with the same set up
Mine has been holding up fine with the stock 18T pinion. I only run mine on smooth surfaces (street or dirt) no grass. Grabbed a 2nd Typhon for my son running a Hobbywing 2435 6500kv with their 16BL30 ESC and it's smooth and fast 👌. Had to get a 3D printed ESC/receiver mount combo off eBay, but it's a cheaper option than the Spectrum 6000kv and feels smoother. Planning to do a vid about it soon. Just had hernia surgery so I've been taking it easy 🍻
ESC m
Hello, new at RC here. Is there a battery upgrade to extend running time? Thx in advance.
The mah rating represents the capacity. Stock lipos are 1400mah. An 1800-2200mah lipo should afford noticeably longer run times. The downside is weight gain. Too much added weight will affect balance and agility. I haven't investigated with a bigger 2s option, but make certain the dimensions will fit the tray if ordering online.
I live in your area, what are the locations in the video?
Search Sacramento skateparks. This is Power Inn and Natomas. Don't know the addresses. School days early are best.
@@richduperbash2966awesome will check them out
Really fun to watch. MT tires next?
Thank you Brother 😁. I'll definitely try some different wheels on her 😎🤙🤙
I'd take my team associated reflex 14mt. It can from the factory brushless. Not having to rebuild it like the groms
Yeah brushless from the factory at 139$ would've been nice, but it's an easy conversion. This thing rips hard and takes a hammering. The Hobbywing brushless setup is smoother I've found in my son's Typhon Grom 🍻
That thing is fast Rich 😃!
Yes it sure is 😱🚀🚀
I missed this whole Grom thing 🙄 Not sure if I’m a fan Bra. I just don’t get it 🤔 In saying that it looks like fun. Keep it up my man love your work ✊🏼
Thanks so much Camo 😱. Been wanting a small scale for years. They're fast, squirrelly, and have crazy quick twitch handling 😂. Simply put, they're fun as heck and challenge your reflexes. Hope all is well Brother 🍻😎💪👊👊
What receiver will work with the stock transmitter?
Probably most Spectrum receivers 🤔. I ended up using a spare SLT3 controller and receiver.
Blew the tires off of my typhon 6s on first battery. Got parts in yesterday to redo the tires.
Managed to get all tires off etc etc. put m2c extender 8mm shaft +15mm on the car.
Put 8 screws in each tire for the bigger hex adapters.
Go to toss the 2.8 proline tires on….. don’t have a tool that’ll fit into the new tire rim to tighten the nuts.
Sigh
Sounds like you need a longer 17mm T wrench. Dynamite and a couple others make them. I'll try and link you. a.co/d/3WokaHz
Wondering how the Spektrum Firrma motor/esc is holding up?
So far it's still going strong 👍. Haven't tested the Hobbywing setup yet, but heard it's awesome. 🍻
13:10 legendary proof 😉
Thank you Brother 👊. I'm glad the Spectrum 6000 is holding up so far 🍻
Epic rip as always!! 🎉
Thanks so much Brother 🤗. Can't wait to get this ripper back out. 🍻
@@richduperbash2966 that little rig looks epic !! Always love to see you rippin !! I know I can’t wow to see !! 👍🏼👊🏼
nice video!
Thank you Brother 😁
what tires do you like the best on the truggified 6s typhon?
Probably the belted MX28 HP's from Proline.
@@richduperbash2966 Thanks Rich!
Is this upgradeable ? Batteries etc
Yes. You can run other suitable 2s lipos so long as their dimensions fit the tray. They also make upgraded diffs, shocks, and CVD out drives.
You’re a pretty good driver. I guess all theses guys breaking diffs and other parts must be do to bad drivers 😅
Thanks my friend 🤗. Any rig can break. Sometimes it's bad luck, but I can own most breakages from bad hits and driver error 🍻
Legendary
Rock on brother 🤘
If you had to own one rc, what would it be and why?
Probably the Kraton 6s because it's a great go anywhere basher.
@@richduperbash2966 thank you for the reply 😊 tbh I thought you'd say your Typhon.... I hadn't considered the Kraton 👍🏽
For me the Typhon most definitely my favorite, but in general the Kraton can tackle rougher terrain 🍻
I got it yesterday. .
Congrats!!! Such a fun little ripper 😍
Rich I was watching your video on the fireteam basherqueen cage upgrade. Could you or would you be down to sign the stock talion body and send it to me for my daughter. She absolutely loves your RUclips channel. I will pay for shipping and body. You would make her day.
Man I'm so honored your daughter loves the channel 😍. The Talion is actually my daughter Angie's rig. I bought it for her years ago. I'll check with her about parting with the body 🤗.

1/18 scale
Scale is kinda subjective. Regardless, this is a perfect size to rip around and still have impressive handling and capability 😍
