Overview
Making your move into 1/8 scale Speed Buggy action has
never been easier. Fast, rugged and factory-built, the 2S LiPo-compatible ARRMA® TYPHON™ 4X4
MEGA 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 Speed Buggy’s already impressive
performance and durability.
The TYPHONâ„¢ 4X4 MEGA 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.
The Speed Buggy now also includes the 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.
It also has the ingenious modular design perfected by ARRMA® engineers
for easy component access and maintenance. The power module, with improved dirt
management, consists of a MEGA 550 motor for rock-jumping speed, 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 molding 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 MEGA
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 MEGA RTR includes the waterproof Spektrumâ„¢ SPMS650
digital servo for 20% more torque than the previous version’s ADS-5 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, multi-spoke wheels with vented dBoots® 2-HO™ tyres
give the 1/8 scale TYPHONâ„¢ 4X4 MEGA RTR Speed Buggy effective
traction for bashing on almost any terrain. Multiple battery types can be used
with the hook-and-loop mounting, from 6-cell NiMH packs to a 2S block pack. This
version comes with a Dynamite® 3300 mAh 8.4V 7-cell Speedpack® 2
Hump NiMH battery that provides 35% more run time compared to the 2400mAh pack
of its predecessor.
