ARRMA 1/8 Typhon TLR 6S Buggy RTR 4WD (Red & Blue)
Combining factory race-level TLR Tuned engineering with high-voltage 6S brushless power straight out of the box, the ARRMA 1/8 Typhon TLR 6S BLX Buggy RTR delivers the ultimate blend of track agility and extreme off-road speed. Built on a laser-etched 7075-T6 aluminum chassis plate loaded with TLR Tuned hard-anodized shock towers, steering racks, and suspension hangers, this Ready-To-Run 1/8 buggy comes fully equipped with a factory-installed Spektrum Smart 6S power system, Spektrum SLT3 radio, and high-torque SLT steering servo. Reaching speeds of 70+ MPH on 6S LiPo power, the Typhon TLR 6S RTR delivers race-tuned handling on dirt, grass, gravel, and track surfaces.
Align-Trex Bench & Track Notes
- RTR Race Tuning: Combining TLR race geometry with 6S brushless power creates an incredibly fast buggy. In bench setup and track testing, setting throttle limiting to 75% on the SLT3 transmitter provides excellent throttle control for tight track navigation before opening it up to 100% on open straightaways.
- Shock & Suspension Setup: The hard-anodized TLR aluminum shock bodies come filled with high-grade silicone shock oil. For competitive track driving, inspecting suspension droop settings via the chassis set screws ensures flat cornering without body roll.
- Differential Oil Check: The three metal gear differentials handle 6S brushless torque reliably. For optimal power transfer out of tight corners, refreshing differential fluids with factory-spec silicone diff oil after high-intensity track sessions keeps the 4WD system performing crisp.
