More Information

Experience a thrilling new level of bashing performance with the 1/8 scale ready to run ARRMA TYPHON 6S BLX 4WD Speed Buggy. Designed fast designed tough and now outfitted with a versatile Spektrum 3 channel radio system and Firma brushless electronics it is all set for fast action on all terrain in all conditions.

ARRMA engineers have updated the TYPHON 6S BLX 4WD Speed Buggy with a brushless power system featuring the Spektrum Firma 150A Smart ESC and Firma 2050Kv brushless motor. The combination lets you cut loose with incredible torque acceleration and speed while the heavy duty aluminium and steel chassis and transmission components take it all in their stride. For improved steering ARRMA also includes a new steel gear Spektrum S652 Digital Servo which is 32 percent stronger and 5 percent faster than the previous version’s ADS 15M servo.

The ready to run package now also includes a 3 channel Spektrum SLT3 radio and Spektrum SR315 dual protocol receiver. Perfect for long hours of fatigue free bashing the transmitter’s ergonomic design features a foam steering wheel for precise fingertip control and an improved hand grip and trigger feel. If you are a new driver you will be able to set throttle limits at 50 percent or 75 percent until you 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.

Because the SR315 receiver can use SLT and DSMR protocols you can easily upgrade to a Spektrum DSMR transmitter later then download the free Spektrum Dashboard app for your mobile device and take full advantage of the Smart telemetry capabilities already present in the Firma electronics. You will be able to receive real time updates of ESC temperature receiver BEC voltage drive pack voltage and motor RPM.

The TYPHON 6S BLX 4WD Speed Buggy blasts over dirt asphalt and grass with adjustable oil filled shocks soaking up the bumps. The shocks are mounted on black anodised aluminium towers and include aluminium shock caps and protectors to maintain their super smooth damping.

For the durability needed to support intense brushless performance ARRMA uses a strengthened anodised aluminium chassis as its foundation. Front and rear composite chassis braces and composite chassis side pods add more toughness. All metal diff outdrives and gearbox internals plus durable steel driveshafts all contribute to a reliable heavy duty drivetrain that holds up to extreme bashing. A never loose aluminium steering servo saver and never pop ball ends supply more precision reliability and confidence.

ARRMA holds your maintenance downtime to the minimum with an efficient driver friendly design. A sliding mount gives you quick hassle free access to the motor. The centre diff is easy to reach and can be removed by taking out just four bolts.

The low drag buggy wheels now with plus 1 mm hexes arrive outfitted with super aggressive multi surface dBoots KATAR tyres. A low drag wing helps keep the vehicle grounded. Both contribute to confident control and responsive handling at thrilling high speeds. Topping it all off is a sleek buggy body with streamlined good looks featuring a matte black and red paint scheme with forged composite detail.
