The ARRMA Typhon BLX offers great fun for the whole family! Whether you're an experienced driver or just getting into the hobby, the ARRMA Typhon should be perfect for you! It offers great power paired with impressive handling. There are plenty of reasons why the ARRMA Typhon BLX along with the other ARRMA 4x4 BLX cars is among the most popular cars we sell. You just can't find another brushless 4x4 platform this durable at this price point.
The ARRMA 4x4 BLX vehicles offer exceptional performance for the price. This performance paired with the level of part support ARRMA is known for having ensure that you simply can't go wrong with a model from the ARRMA 4x4 family. Parts availability is generally really good and we offer great customer service especially for these cars since we have so much experience with them.
In comparison to the other products in the ARRMA 4x4 family, the Typhon offers buggy tires, wing and bodystyle. Buggies are known for being the fastest cars around an off-road track which is why this backyard basher, although not a racecar, is also more than capable enough to be the vehicle you bring to your first ever RC track day!
It's not easy to make the decision as to which car you should buy but it's hard to regret the decision if you go with an ARRMA Typhon 4x4 BLX.

ARRMA's updated highly popular brushless 4WD 1/8th scale buggy for serious hobbyists. Equipped with brushless electronics, the 4x4 Granite is reliable, fast and offers impressive performance with little hassle. This short course has raised the bar of 4WD 1/8th scale RTR buggies and for the price you just can't beat it. The electronics are waterproof so the winter or rain wont surprise you either. If you want to kick off your hobby with a bang this is probably your best bet.
Aggressive looks and exceptional tires ensure it looks the part too. This is a proper RC-car that excites both the younger and the older drivers. If you're just starting out and want that extra power and durability a vehicle from the ARRMA 4x4 BLX family is the best option. While the red aggressive body will give you the right feeling while driving, the good tires with enough grip and the upgraded electronics give you the performance!
ARRMA put in the work to make the maintenance easy and fun. The different parts of the transmission come right off by unscrewing just a couple of screws making maintenance even easier than before. Even if you're not familiar with the ARRMA 4x4 cars are so easy to maintain that you'll have no trouble working on them. ARRMA has also made plenty of videos to help you with that. ARRMA's part support is one of the best in the business and we work hard to provide you all the parts you need straight off the shelf as best as we can.

The car comes with great electronics that'll get you started just right. The new Spektrum SLT3 you get is one of the best RTR radios. It's reliable, fast, offers good range and is adjustable. It has all the necessary adjustments and perhaps the best feature of all, power adjustment. This means you can limit the power output which will help you as you're getting used to the car. The power can be tuned all the way down so that the youngest in the family can join in on the fun. With the proportional power adjustment you can get the car to move at walking speed and it's made so that young kids shouldn't be able to adjust it themselves. The steering servo is the waterproof metal geared Spektrum S651 which is more durable and capable than the one of the previous model. This servo has the power to turn the wheels and does it fast enough.
The ARRMA Typhon 4x4 BLX itself is ready for action but you'll need a battery, charger and 4 AA batteries for the transmitter.
For the battery you should go for a standard sized 2S or 3S battery but taller batteries will work too. Our recommendation would be a 5000mAh battery which will give you a good 15-20 minutes of runtime without limiting the power. If you limit the power the runtime increases. The car comes with an EC5 connector so you should use a battery with an EC5 connector. You can also use an adapter but remember that you may lose a bit of performance and runtime. You can also use NiMH batteries but they won't unleash the full potential of the powerful BLX system. We recommend you get the LiPOs, but NiMHs aren't a bad way to start either.
We offer readily put together LiPo-packages with everything you need:
The electronics are the ARRMA BLX100 ESC and the Spektrum 3200kV motor. The ESC is reliable, waterproof, adjustable and easy to use. It uses an IC5 connector that can be used with IC5 and EC5 connectors. The ESC has a LiPo-cutoff and a NiMH setting. The motor is powerful and reliable, you wont run out of performance. The motor also comes with a heatsink and a fan for cooling. The motor has a 5mm shaft and the option to use SafeD pinions that further improve the overall reliability of the car.
The new v3 is full of upgrades and the car is even better than before. The new better transmitter and servo make driving even more fun, the drivetrain is stronger and the durability of the car is improved by for example an all new main frame. The bumpers and bearings handle more abuse and the list goes on. ARRMA has once again listened to the customers and made a great car even better.
A big plus is the fact that the electronics and batteries the car uses are standard sized, so looking for different electronics or batteries should be easy.
