Build Thread Just getting back started in RC. I thought this Arrma Typhon TLR tuned roller would be a great start

I have almost all of my parts, so i am going to start putting this roller together. I may have a few questions along the way, as it has been a long time!

Beast of a buggy. Great choice!

That's really cool. What Castle motor & ESC you have there? Going for 6s? What pinion?

4S for now. 19T.

Nice. Should be a beast of a setup. In my regular base V5 typhon I'm running basically stock 2050kv, 16T pinion, and 4s. I heard that the speed gearing for the typhon, I believe is 20T, speeds it up a good bit. So 19T on a 2200kv should be even better. Speed wise. Since you got a tiny bit more motor power.

Your thread was one of the reasons I chose the Typhon! Thank You!

I like that they offer this as a roller, I wish it was a kit though

So if you get one are we changing your name to TyphonJ or TeknoTLR?

Those are both quite catchy!

I wish it was a kit as well. However, I will say the manual provided is excellent for tuning though.

Congrats, and welcome back... that looks like a good gateway drug starter RC!

Update! I finally got my electronics installed. I was waiting on a few parts. I am liking how it came out so far.
