Arrma Typhon Grom 1:18 scale 4WD RC car model. The model is powered by a powerful AC motor, with a maximum speed of up to 56 km/h. Factory installed upgrades, DSC stabilization. Supplied with transmitter, LiPo 2S drive battery and USB charger.
The RC car is intended for children, adults, beginners and experienced drivers, who will receive a fully inflated ready-to-run model. The car can be powered by both a 2S LiPo and a 3S LiPo battery, it just depends on your preferences and experience. When using a 3S LiPo battery, the model can reach a maximum speed of up to 80 km/h!
Since this is a fairly powerful model, it is equipped with differentials with metal gears, steel half-axles, aluminum oil shock absorbers and aluminum steering linkages.
The control unit has a special DSC electronic driving stabilization function, which automatically makes steering corrections for smooth driving in skids, easier driving at higher speeds or on less grippy surfaces. The DSC stabilization includes 4 driving modes, while the stabilization can be completely deactivated. Another feature is the ability to limit the maximum output to 75% or 50%.
The Spektrum SX110 waterproof servo control is equipped with metal gears. An integrated high-speed cooling fan keeps the motor and controller temperature low for long life and peak performance.
In addition to its excellent driving characteristics, the car will amaze you with its mock-up bodywork in the style of the legendary Baja desert racers. The body has a clipless attachment, in addition to the elegant appearance, this solution is also beneficial with regard to the speed of replacing the drive battery.
The Spektrum Smart 2S LiPo drive battery with IC2 connector has sufficient capacity for a long driving time. When it's time to recharge it, just connect it to the handy Spektrum Smart G2 S10 USB-C charger. Safe charging starts automatically and takes about 1 hour.

We recommend to buy more
Everything needed to operate the model is included in the package. The USB charger can be powered by any USB adapter. To extend the driving time, we recommend the purchase of an identical 2S LiPo battery with an IC2 connection connector. To increase performance, we recommend purchasing a 3S LiPo battery and a suitable charger for this battery, as the included charger cannot charge a 3S LiPo battery!
To power the USB-C charger, we recommend a powerful USB-C 65W power supply. Compared to classic 5V USB sources, such as phone chargers, you can achieve significantly shorter charging times with this source.
Accessories for normal operation
For normal operation of the RC car, you need tire glue and silicone oil for the shock absorbers and a set of allen screwdrivers.
Tire glue is used to glue the tires to the disc rim. It is always necessary that the tire is firmly stuck to the wheel rim all the way around! If the tire is not glued all the way around, it may tear. Tire glue has a special composition that is able to glue materials such as rubber or nylon, and at the same time, after hardening, the glue is flexible. Do not use ordinary instant glue - it is not flexible after hardening and cracks would gradually form in the tire around the rims!
It is also necessary to use a special adhesive for screws to secure removable joints in metal material (e.g. screws in the motor, worm in the pinion, etc.).
Sometimes it is necessary to add silicone oil to the dampers of the model. During normal operation, there are only slight leaks of silicone oil on the piston rods of the shock absorber. If the surface of the damper pistons or gaskets is unsatisfactory, the oil leakage can be large. So-called repair kits are supplied for these cases.
