Overview

Designed fast and designed tough, the ARRMA® TYPHON™ 6S BLX 4WD RTR Speed Buggy is now equipped to deliver even bigger and better 1/8 scale bashing thrills — with a Spektrum™ SLT3™ radio, dual protocol receiver, Smart ESC, stronger servo and more. The Spektrum™ Firma™ 150A Smart ESC and Firma™ 2050Kv brushless motor combination delivers incredible torque, acceleration and speed, while the heavy-duty aluminum and steel chassis and transmission components take it all in stride. The transmitter's ergonomic design features a foam steering wheel for precise fingertip control, and new drivers can set throttle limits at 50% or 75% until ready to use the full speed potential. The TYPHON™ 6S BLX blasts over dirt, asphalt and grass, with adjustable oil-filled shocks soaking up the bumps.

    Love it. Very aggressive car. Destroyed a pinion in the first week due to newbie lack of maintenance after break-in, will happily destroy another one 10/10.

    A tremendously powerful buggy on 6s, such a hoot to drive. Build quality is excellent. It should have a motor cooling fan out of the box though, the motor gets very hot on 6s if you like to punch it and drive fast. The Spectrum electronics have some good features.
