Unbelievably fast out of the box. Love the clipless design. I added the granite grom tires to make it like a truggy. Super fun runs cool on 2s would recommend this over the mega version. -Phil
What can you say but, WOW! I was blown away with how capable this little buggy is. I cleared a section of my yard that has been overgrown for many years to create a mini track and the dirt was very loose and there where a lot of roots that were sticking up out of the ground. I couldn't wait to cut the roots back so I took out this little powerhouse and was very impressed. It did get caught on a few of the roots, but that was more my impatience than anything. But this thing handled great, spun up some great roostertails, ripped through most of the roots and even handled a few direct impacts into some trees and large rocks. The only downside is the gyro. it seems to kick in too quickly and limits the ability to make tight turns on the track. I expect if I turn down the DVC, it will handle much better. On 3S, this thing is FAST!!! I blew through the grass!! I mostly ran the buggy at 50% on the track, and 100% when driving on 2S.
Buggy is a blast to drive and seems to be very durable, 3s is nuts
This little guy packs a punch. I can’t wait to really get into some clay and dirt. Amain as always was above and far beyond incredible
The best service always super fast shipping can't wait to do business with these guys again
Reviewers of the red Arrma Typhon Grom 223S BLX 1/14 buggy mostly praise its speed, power and handling, with one reviewer noting it performs well in rough terrain and handles impacts, though it may catch on roots. Several reviewers highlight the clipless design and fun factor, and one mentions adding Granite Grom tires for a truggy setup. The gyro is described by one reviewer as engaging too quickly. One reviewer rated it 1/5, criticising build quality (lightweight plastic parts), price relative to competitors, and common servo failures. Other reviews also mention good customer service and fast shipping, though these relate to the seller rather than the product.
