Features

Overview

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 its stride. For improved steering, ARRMA^® also includes a new, steel gear Spektrum^™ S652 Digital Servo — which is 32% stronger and 5% 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're a new driver, you'll be able to set throttle limits at 50% or 75% until you're 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'll 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-anodized 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, anodized 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 center diff is easy to reach and can be removed by taking out just four bolts.

The low-drag buggy wheels, now with +1mm hexes, arrive outfitted with super-aggressive, multi-surface dBoots^® KATAR^™ tires. 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.
