About the ARRMA 1/14 TYPHON GROM 223S DSC 4X4 RTR Brushless Buggy Silver

The ARRMA TYPHON GROM 223S BLX is a 1/14 scale, ready-to-run RC buggy with a brushless power system and a high-traction 4WD drivetrain. It is a small-scale version of the 1/8 scale TYPHON, sized to be driven in a backyard, a skate park or a dirt field. It comes with a 2S LiPo battery and a USB-C charger.

The buggy runs on 2S or 3S LiPo power. The included 2S battery gives a top speed of 35 mph. A 3S battery raises top speed to 50+ mph. The Spektrum electronics include Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), which has four selectable modes and automatically corrects steering input on high-grip or low-grip surfaces. It can be turned off. The SLT2 transmitter can also limit maximum speed to 50% or 75% with a 2S or 3S battery installed.

It is built on a durable composite chassis with independent suspension and oil-filled, coil-over shocks. The drivetrain is an enclosed metal gear design, and the front and rear bumpers absorb impacts. The body attaches and comes off with an easy clipless system. Several ARRMA option parts for 3S bashing come already installed.
