I have one that has remained stock, a 6s Typhon. I think it’s about 2 years old now. It’s actually about to be refreshed and upgraded!

Cool...2 years is a long time. You're the first in the poll with a stock 6s Typhon. Can it be counted if you own more than one 6s Typhon...I have one that has remained stock, a 6s Typhon. I think it’s about 2 years old now. It’s actually about to be refreshed and upgraded!

Absolutely it should be counted. And I should get a gold star for it!Cool...2 years is a long time. You're the first in the poll with a stock 6s Typhon. Can it be counted if you own more than one 6s Typhon...
. ATM I have three Typhons, and the other two aren’t even recognizable as Typhons any more. It really is the only Arrma I’ve ever left alone, and it’s also the rig with the most time on it of any I own. Regardless of whatever rig I want to run, the Typhon is almost always taken along as well. It’s been a great rig, but I’ve noticed noise coming from the diffs, the bearings are getting pretty crusty, my shocks aren’t really dampening anything anymore, and I had a bent shock tower that I straightened and recently noticed it’s bent again. So yes, it’s time. I got a couple TLR bits from Jenny’s (shocks, chassis, steering rack that I’ll be changing the pin block on) and some new shock towers. I also just grabbed those MX ProLine buggy tires and I can’t wait to check those out.

Two of three that I've owned over a year all 100% stock (a Typhon 3s blx and granite 3s blx. I've tried some aftermarket shocks, and servo saver or two. I've always gone back to stock. The only thing I'm waiting to break so I can "upgrade" are the A arms, or possibly servos.

Funny how the stock rc becomes the most reliable after a while. Regardless, upgrading is fun. All the best with the servicing and repairs. Good choice in tires.
Back in the day my was about 5 or 6 and I bought him a brushed motor 2 wd slash and that truck would not break no matter what he hit, even he was driving up the base of a 2ft wide pine tree and getting 5ft up the trunk. But stupid me ended up putting a brushless in it and it broke on a daily bases. So 15 years later and it turned into this

I love it when cars are too slow to do any damage to themselves! But the drag slash is badass as well!

Steering servo is a Savox 1270tg, Fast Eddies bearings, and I went to a different transmitter so I could use the ttx300 for the daughters Everest 10 for 4ws. Other than that, 5 years running with minimal breakages. EXB shock towers and steering plate. So, not stock but close!

My Mojo 6S is stock, except for the servo. Fireteam is also stock, except for servo. Kraton 8S is 100% stock. I bought those before I realized how much I enjoyed building up rigs from rollers.

I dislike Spektrum electronics with a passion, so none of my Arrma vehicles have remained stock for long.

99% stock in RCs, 1% stock in stock market?

I ran my 6s Typhon stock for about a month, thats the longest I've ever stayed 100% stock. Now I don't even run a rig once stock. I go through the diffs and check everything else and figure while I'm doing that might as well go ahead and do what are what I consider basic/useful upgrades: shock towers/standoffs, chassis braces, diff mount, hinge pin mounts and EXB front bumper. If I end up making room for an Infraction I will run it stock at least for a few months.
