Is the Typhon Grom worth it for a beginner?

Yes. It comes assembled with a battery and charger, and the 4WD drivetrain is forgiving on loose surfaces. A brushless car costs more and needs more setup.

How fast is the Typhon Grom Mega 380?

Expect roughly 20 mph on the included battery. It is a basher, not a speed car, and upgrading to brushless is the usual next step.

The buggy, a rechargeable battery, a charger and a transmitter. You supply AA batteries for the transmitter.

Short, dry grass is fine. Tall or wet grass will bog down the small tires and brushed motor.

It has sold between about $140 and $170. The $149.99 at Walmart as of November 4, 2026 is near the bottom of that range.

Our take on the ARRMA Typhon Grom Mega 380 4X4 Buggy RTR

The ARRMA Typhon Grom is a small-scale 4WD buggy that comes ready to run, with a battery and charger in the box. It uses a 380-size brushed motor and a Mega 2-in-1 ESC, so it is built for backyard bashing rather than racing. At $149.99 at Walmart as of November 4, 2026, it sits at the low end of its usual $140 to $170 range.
