Typhon Arrma Typhon speed runs!

[mrbelloso]

Sorry for your ESC, but you finally made it.

 

[Jerry-rigged]

That is what you call a smoking run!

(Sorry, I had to.... LOL )

 

[phildogg]

all good.. thanks guys.. even with the fire I'm happy with 140mph..

 

[xxsyn94xx]

hey @phildogg , did you use stock esc to get 120mph? and with what gearing?
Right now im completely stock and I was able to 89 with 28/42 gearing, I then tried 34/38 gearing and it seemed like my motor was cutting off at top throttle and the GPS wasnt working so im not sure what speed I was at before cutting off.

Next im going to try 28/38 to see if that works without the motor cutting off.

 

[phildogg]

no i never used stock esc. Sound like it has current limiting so it cuts out under heavy throttle..

Hey @phildogg was curious, was you using the Monster Mamba in all your speed runs? Even the early ones?

 

[phildogg]

yes sir, always ran a mm2, then moved to xl2

 

[phildogg]

couple of fails today..

Hey whats up man, i know this thread is a few months old but im trying to get my typhon up to 100mph. Besides gearing change what else did you do to get there. I have a mamba monster 2 and a poseidon 2200kv motor in my typhon right now. Did you do anything to the suspension like shortening the shocks or anything? I also have grp wheels so any other advice would be greatly appreciated

Yes sir crank down your droop screws to lower the buggy, and trim the lip off of the wing. Make sure to warm up grp with a burnout and you are on your way.

anyone got part # or where to order Spur and pinion gear?
pinion is no problem, but the 42 or 38 tooth spur doesn't show on Arrma parts list only 50t which is stock?

sorry for the late reply, make a spool.. Take a 5mm rod cut to length, add flat spots on ends for arrma cups and a flat dpot for spur gear(5mm pinion) and you are set.

Yes a spool i made gearing is dependent on motor choice so my gearing wouldn't really help you.

WTG Phildog! Nice to see your Typhon back in action.

Other than the body / shocks changes you did for the GT conversion, are there and other changes? Well, new ESC too.. IS the setup under the lid still the same as your last 140 run?
