Arrma Typhon 18th Scale Unboxing, First Look

Published 2024-05-18
My first impressions of my first Arrma vehicle. This is a 1/18th scale electric 4x4 buggy. Super improve and poorly made video as I did not plan on buying this today. Ran it a few hours after filming this and it is indeed a fun little car. I'm so used to my 1/10th scales that it's peppiness took some time to get used too with its razer-sharp steering response. Got about 15 minutes out of the battery running on an area of both gravel and concrete. I estimate the top speed to be in the low to mid 20s (mph). Going from this BACK to my Rustler was quite a shock as well at the difference in not only the responsivness of the vehicle but also the feel of the controller. The Rustler felt a cargo ship compared to the Typhoon, also Traxxas uses much stiffer springs in their transmitters for the throttle and steering and it took a while to get re-acclimated to.

Note: I misspoke in the video and stated that this was a brushless vehicle, this is a brushed vehicle.
