Overview

Get ready to experience the all-new ARRMA TYPHON. With major upgrades throughout its design, the iconic powerhouse buggy that set the standard for 1/8 scale bashing now delivers performance and durability like never before.

Moving up to high-speed, brushless 1/8 scale buggy bashing is effortless with the TYPHON 223S BLX 4X4 Race Buggy. It has everything you want — aggressive styling, ready-to-run simplicity, exceptional durability, and premium performance — all at a price that keeps things accessible.

ARRMA created the 223S series specifically for newcomers to brushless bashing who want to progress from 2S to 3S power without spending money on upgrades or replacing their entire vehicle. On a 2S LiPo battery, the TYPHON 223S BLX reaches over 56 km/h, matching or exceeding the best speeds from competing 2S bashers. When you are ready for more, install a 3S battery and unlock its full 80+ km/h potential.

You control how fast your TYPHON 223S BLX goes by choosing your battery and adjusting the throttle limiter on the included Spektrum SLT3 transmitter. With throttle limiting, the transmitter restricts maximum speed to a level you feel comfortable with until you are ready to increase it. Set the throttle limiter to 50% or 75% and you will never feel overwhelmed. Transitioning from 2S to 3S speeds becomes smooth, safe, and confidence-building.

Another major advantage comes from the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) built into the buggy’s Spektrum electronics. With four selectable modes, DSC automatically adjusts your steering input when needed to improve control, stability, and confidence on both high-grip and low-grip surfaces. As your skills grow, simply turn DSC off and enjoy full manual control.

The TYPHON 223S BLX delivers enhanced performance for both new and experienced brushless drivers straight out of the box. Precision aluminium, tough steel, and high-quality composite materials combine to create an easy-to-maintain, ultra-durable buggy design. Its high downforce wing, low centre of gravity, wide suspension arms, and narrow racing tyres provide excellent handling on race tracks, dirt trails, muddy courses, skate parks, and more. Its natural home is off-road terrain such as dirt, gravel, and short grass, but with street tyres it also becomes a surprisingly capable speed-run machine on tarmac.

All-metal diff outdrives and gearbox internals, together with durable composite slider driveshafts, form a reliable, heavy-duty 4X4 drivetrain built to withstand extreme brushless bashing. The all-terrain suspension package and adjustable oil-filled shocks, mounted on composite shock towers, help the TYPHON 223S BLX soak up bumps and maintain control as it charges over dirt, asphalt, and grass.

If you are a racing buggy enthusiast looking to step into high-power brushless bashing, the 1/8 scale ARRMA TYPHON 223S BLX is the perfect choice. Add your preferred battery and charger, and take your bashing skills to the next level.
