Overview
Making your move into brushless 1/8 scale Speed Buggy
action has never been easier. Fast, rugged and factory-built, the 3S
LiPo-compatible ARRMA® TYPHON™ 4X4 3S BLX RTR comes ready out of the box to bash
on any terrain. Precision aluminium, tough steel and composite materials come
together for an easy-to-maintain, super-durable vehicle design whose high
downforce wing and low center of gravity, with wide arms and narrow wheels and
tyres, improve handling over race tracks, trails, muddy courses, skate parks and
more. This version features new equipment that further increases the original
buggy’s already impressive performance and durability.
The TYPHONâ„¢ 4X4 3S BLX RTR is DESIGNED FAST, DESIGNED TOUGH
— built for exciting bashing speeds and extreme, all-terrain durability. New
features that enhance its unstoppable performance include a stronger chassis and
retained hinge pin plates; steering with more clearance for stones; a
castellated slipper pad and sliding gear mesh; and rubber-shielded bearings
throughout.
It also now includes a Spektrumâ„¢ SLT3â„¢ transmitter and
SLR300 receiver. The transmitter is ergonomically designed for long periods of
fatigue-free bashing and has a foam wheel for precise fingertip control plus an
improved hand grip and trigger feel. New bashers will be able to set throttle
limits at 50% or 75% until they are ready to use the full speed potential. The
SLT3™ is compatible with Tactic® SLT™ receivers to run other RTR vehicles you
may own, and includes a third channel to control optional features such as
lights and winches on models that have them.
ARRMA® now powers the TYPHON 4X4 3S BLX with a brushless
system featuring its BLX100 ESC and the Spektrumâ„¢ Firmaâ„¢ 3200Kv brushless motor.
The combination provides incredible torque, acceleration and speed. The
transmission and chassis are ruggedly engineered to take full advantage of the
electronics’ power — in ARRMA tradition, DESIGNED FAST, DESIGNED TOUGH.
It has the ingenious modular design perfected by ARRMA®
engineers for easy component access and maintenance. The power module, with
improved dirt management, consists of the motor with ARRMA® heatsink and cooling
fan, plus motor plate, slipper clutch assembly and gear cover. The power module
can be detached from the chassis as a complete unit by removing just one screw.
With the power module removed, the slipper clutch can be reached easily for
adjustments by taking out three screws that attach the gear cover. The gear
ratio can be finely tuned as the power module now uses a sliding motor mesh
design.
A two-piece moulding screwed to the Speed Buggy’s chassis
serves as its electronics module, containing a waterproof receiver box, servo
mount and ESC tray. The SLR300 receiver mounts inside the receiver box for
protection from dirt and moisture. The ultra-compact ESC is screwed to the top
of the module, allowing quick access to the on/off switch, while the servo
mounts to the side. All three components can be removed together, quickly and
easily.
The differential module houses each differential unit in an
innovative yoke design. Only eight screws need to be removed to release the
front and rear yokes. The power module can then be detached, allowing you to
pivot the gearbox cases for differential access. The TYPHONâ„¢ 4X4 3S BLX RTR
comes brushless-ready with 37T 1.35mod diffs with silicone O-rings. The large
gears can withstand huge torque, and internal metal gears have been chosen for
reliability during extreme bashing.
Its full-time 4WD transmission uses strong front, rear, and
centerline telescopic driveshafts that can’t be lost during heavy impacts,
unlike dogbones. A simple, dependable, responsive steering assembly complements
the ultra-reliable drive system and features a servo horn with built-in servo
saver. The TYPHONâ„¢ 4X4 3S BLX RTR includes the waterproof Spektrumâ„¢ SPMS651
metal-geared digital servo for 15% more torque than the previous version’s
ADS-7M servo.
The self-bleeding, oil-filled shocks, now with silicone
O-rings, use a tried and tested, coil-over design for simple maintenance and
amazing handling. Their innovative rod-end has a moulded-in spring perch for
extra toughness. High chassis sides and a close-fitting buggy body limit the
amount of dirt and debris that can get into the chassis tub. Front and rear
bumpers offer defense against impacts.
Tough gunmetal colored, multi-spoke wheels with vented
dBoots® 2-HO™ tyres give the 1/8 scale TYPHON™ 4X4 3S BLX RTR Speed Buggy
effective traction for bashing on almost any terrain. With the metallic-finish
body and forged composite detail, it also looks as great as it performs. A
stylish, high-downforce wing keeps all four wheels planted as you explore the
upper limits of its outrageous speed range.
