"This is a great option to start out with a very capable buggy at a very reasonable price. The 7075 components really do improve the overall durability of this platform while also providing enhanced tuning options. Tires are OK - softer/better tread pattern, but still not as good as most other tire options (still a bit on the stiff side). Parts availability is fantastic thanks to the reuse/compatibility with the rest of the Arrma line-up." - Alex - Verified Owner

Arrma Typhon "TLR Tuned" 1/8 4WD Buggy Roller (Pink/Purple)
I have been in the hobby for 20 years. And I am very impressed with this buggy. Originally bought this for friends and family to drive. And has quickly become one of my favorite cars to drive so easy and fun. I am blown away how competitive this car can be on the track and you also get the Arrma built super tough name and design that we all love. It may be a little heavier, and not as refined as the more expensive race buggies, but there’s so many option parts and it’s a platform that’s tried and true in going to be around for a while. So you don’t have to worry about it being obsolete in two years like other brands. Race performance, basher quality, budget value and long-term parts suppor/ upgrades Hands-down blown away. This thing is legit.

This is a great option to start out with a very capable buggy at a very reasonable price. The 7075 components really do improve overall durability of this platform while also providing enhanced tuning options. Tires are OK - softer/better tread pattern, but still not as good as most other tire options (still a bit on the stiff side). Parts availability is fantastic thanks to the reuse/compatibility with the rest of the Arrma line-up.

Overall fit/finish is good. I was a little disappointed in the surface finish of some of the black 6061 pieces (chassis front brace, front spindle plates). I'm not sure if this is because the parts were e-coated and then painted with an intended texture or if the surface quality of the underlying part was not great. The car came with a decent coating of rust preventatives/oils, and at first the pieces looked OK, but as soon as the surfaces are wiped clean the non-7075 aluminum pieces have a rough surface texture. This is not a showstopper from a performance perspective, but does detract from the overall appearance.

Like all rollers/sliders, check all the screws and shimming. The left side chassis guard was loose on mine and one of the motor mount screws was loose inside the chassis (actually rolling around in the box). Again, none a big deal breakers but something to check.

This design is the same in many ways to the Durango DEX8 (minus the adjustable battery and motor positioning features). The tuning guidance in the manual is good, but I highly recommend searching for the Tuning tips/cards for the DEX8 as it does an even better job of explaining settings and general recommendations. If you struggle to keep the rear end planted, JQ Racing has a Youtube channel that talks about potential tuning that you can do to the car that will help make a pillow ball car handle more predictably.

A couple of improvements would be to include additional washers for the front camber, vinyl chassis film, a smaller wrench for the 3 mm locknuts, a 25T servo horn, and a pinion. The biggest of those would be the the 25T servo horn. Many people do not use Spektrum servos, so the lack of one here feels a bit like a cost cutting measure.

I have only run three battery packs thru this on the track but it handled amazing. The turning and suspension were comparable to the two Tekno 1/8 buggies I have driven.. Absolutely love the car

Arrma Typhon "TLR Tuned" 1/8 4WD Buggy Roller (Pink/Purple)
This is my first ever 1/8th scale vehicle and I in absolute love with it. The more I get to drive it the more I get giddy. Still have yet to take it to a track but I feel this will be a great buggy to start with if I ever decide to get into 8th scale Buggy racing. I started back into RV first year of the pandemic with a Mini T 2.0 then went to a TLR 22 5.0. After those I went to the Mini B and then TLR 22X4. I was really enjoying the 22x4 until I invested in this beast. If you are on the fence and wanting your first 1/8th scale Buggy buy this and thank me later.

I'm new to the hobby and this was my first ever roller. Everything went smooth and I'm really loving it though I only use it on the street.
