Looking for a good 1/10 or 1/8 buggy for track racing.

Hi,
We have made a decent rc track and want something for some fun racing. Currently I am looking at the ARRMA Typhon 6S TLR Tuned 4X4 RC Buggy.

Anyone have one of these or have suggestions on something else?

We currently have Kraton 8s? Notorious v6 6s and Mojave 6s.

Typhon 6S are great beginner track cars. But if you want something to be competitive something like a Tekno or something of that caliber is going to be a lot better. If you're just running laps and not really racing seriously a Typhon TLR is going to be great.

If looking for a RTR, may as well keep it in the Arrma family, but...

The only 1/8 buggy I have is my Corally Asuga XLR, but it is a beast.

Given how much Arrma stuff you already have, the Typhon would seem to make the most sense.

Thanks for your input. I have decided to buy the typhon.

Well I bit the bullet and ordered two Typhon TLR, one for me and the other for my Great Grandson. Hopefully they will arrive next week, looking forward to running them on the track.

Nice!

I just built up a Typhon V5 from parts (Huge thanks to Jenny's RC!)
Although I only run it on 4s for track practice fun and bashing at home its a beast. I'm still in the stage of dialing in my car.

Man. This is a HUGE milestone for me in the RC world. Sure, 8th scale is basically the same size as a 10th scale SCT, but, its 8th scale! Got it from my buddy I met on reddit and figured out he lives close by so we met up at the track and we both raced and I got this. This was parts he accumulated up from his other builds. Its bout 80% complete. Just need a couple parts and some hardware.

My plan for this is to run this as a big jump/land basher, track basher, and a semi-racer. The closest 8th scale track that does racing near me is 2hrs up northwest and I cannot go there all the...

Double your pleasure. Most excellent!

Now all that's left, is to make a decent track to run them on.
