Whats more fun? A losi Promoto or Typhon 6s?

[Iamgeek0]

This is an incredibly stupid question, and I know nobody in their right mind would ask a question like this, but which one is more fun? I have a $150 Amazon gift card and I'm mainly planning to use it on a Typhon 6s since I have the blx grom. However, I also looked at the Losi Promoto, because I also love motorcycles, mainly naked and retro bikes. But I wanted to know whether a promoto is worth more than a typhon 6s in terms of “fun” and value.

@Hammer Down may be of help.

Well depends what you're wanting to do with whatever you buy, where you plan to run it, ect.

Oh I just plan on running it around my front/back yard and sometimes at a trail. I only plan on doing 3 foot jumps or so.

Go watch a video on each and measure your smile.

Imo the promoto is ideally only good on the street, or smooth surfaces or softer/loamy dirt. Won't be the best in thick or tall grass. Typhon would be better there and can be converted or tuned for any surface basically.

So far a typhon has managed to pass the promoto in smiles. I want a capable rc car and the typhon seems to do it just fine while being faster.

Edit: The promoto still captures my attention. The wheelie mode looks so cool.

I think you made a great choice! Plus it’s a versatile machine. You can bash it, race it, speed run it, stretch it, Truggify it (although I love my Talion also! ) so you can’t really go wrong. I have three. A regular 6S. A TLR. And the original 3S! Super nimble and fast! Enjoy your new Typhon @Iamgeek0 !

Welcome to the site.

I have a 6S Typhon that is stock, another 6s Typhon that is set up for street bashing, and a Typhon Grom. They are fun and tough.

I love my typhon grom blx. Just wish it had a stronger servo.

Thanks! Just came from the Arrma forums and the horrible place called r/rccars.

 

[BudUMfan]

Arrma forum is legit. It has many dual members and I’m one of them. I really like both communities a lot! So I bounce back and forth. I don’t think anyone else does this…

 

[Hammer Down]

I think you’ll have a blast with either one.

The promoto gets bonus points for looking cool just sitting there. So there’s that…

I vote Typhon. Love the look of that thing.

I was just being silly, but the Promoto is more interesting to me, just because I don't have anything else like it.
