Great overview. As someone who club raced an old gen Arrma Typhon v2 for a few years I can say it held up well and was competitive. This will be better in every way with the addition of tuning pills for A, B, C , D blocks, more roll Center adjustments, and having stronger aluminum parts. I do wish they had leveraged proline for body and tires, or maybe used horizon’s new AKA aquisition for race rubber, but this RC was likely done development before that happened.

So I've been debating switching one of my TLR 22's to carpet or getting an eight scale. Always like the Typhon but a little too much $$ for just a basher.. and didn't want to build a e-buggy.. man this nails it! I'm really happy with my TLR 22 5.0 Roller, great car out of the box - this is right there. Going to get that pro-line body painted up and hit the track for some fall/winter 8th scale!

But I do agree it’s nice to have more options!!

Having Losi products and Losi products that are TLR badged, I can imagine this Arrma would handle great on the track. I see it is even set up to run a nitro engine if the consumer wanted to go that route. The notch in the chassis for a nitro starter box gives it away.
@jcchaconjr
2 жыл бұрын
That notch is for the spur gear on the center diff, to help them mount the diff lower in the chassis, thus aiding in lowering the overall CG of the buggy. If it were designed to also accept a Nitro engine, it would have a second notch for the flywheel off to one side, not to mention slotted holes for engine mounts.
@SebastianLong
2 жыл бұрын
@@jcchaconjr I didn't even think about it when I posted the comment that there was a gear (the spur) already in that notch and that there wasn't a nitro motor in the chassis already. My mind had a brain fart and saw the spur and thought it was the flywheel. As far as the slotted holes go, that isn't necessarily true as some nitro engines get bolted to a engine mount, like a nitro Revo like the one I have. So for the most part you caught the points I had a brain fart on. Lol. One of those "whoops" moments.
