Nice deal. Might be a better bigger 1/8 basher and racer for me since I do both, but it will be expensive, for me, and one of my buddies had one, and he says its pretty heavy compared to race grade 1/8 kits like the Tekno EB48, ect.
Man, that is really tempting but I'm not sure that how much Id enjoy a 6S buggy. When I think of running 6S I dont really think about doing it with a buggy. hmmmmmm

Maybe, but I’d rather get the roller or a Tekno kit. Spektrum stuff is crappy.

i like hobbywing (we have a MAX10 in my bros stampede 4x4) but so far spektrum has carried me well. in my vendetta these systems carry it well, up to 70+. i also just put a spektrum 2050kv motor (from a typhon 6s) an it looks beefy. I'm super excited to try it out after i get my firma 150 (89$ off of jennys. the motor was 37$) the stash is gonna MOVE!
You make a valid point!
IMHO the Spektrum stuff is pretty good for RTR electronics. That being said, all RTR electronics suck.

Although there 1/10 540 3500kv seemed solid for the most part, you know how I feel on the escs.
That reminds me I have a 2850kv due in any time.

I don't get why we needed a TLR version of a basher. If it were an actual racing buggy, I'd get it.

Try hobbywing. Bit cheaper same quality or better than castle
Spektrum motors seem to be pretty good at least the couple that I've run but their ESCs leave a lot to be desired I think.
Dont get me started on Traxxas electronics. Id rather just put a hamster wheel in my rig.

i think the chassis is a little lighter. i think its part marketing, part good looks, and part some-what race-abilty.
I don't race, no race tracks around here, I asked for the TLR, as I wanted a larger, 4 wheel drive buggy. I just wanted it, to putt around.can't wait till Christmas.

Nothing at all wrong with grabbing the TLR Typhon. If I were buying a Typhon, I'd grab the TLR version as well. I just don't understand why Arrma/Horizon came up with the idea. To make a racing version of a buggy that would never really be competitive with typical racing buggies is just kinda silly to me. It will have great shocks though, because the Losi shocks have always been some of the best. You're going to love it.I don't race, no race tracks around here, I asked for the TLR, as I wanted a larger, 4 wheel drive buggy. I just wanted it, to putt around.can't wait till Christmas.
