Arrma Typhon Mega 665 4X4 Brushed Buggy Overview
Take your bashing to new extremes of power, capability, and toughness with the ARRMA TYPHON MEGA 665 4x4 ready-to-run buggy. It’s more than an affordable way to enter into amped-up 1/8 scale off-road action. With the TYPHON MEGA 665 4x4, you can experience bigger, better bashing now - then upgrade later to brushless power and reach even greater performance peaks.
With a low center of gravity, high-downforce wing, wide arms, and multi-surface wheels and tires, the TYPHON MEGA has proven to be the ideal platform for easing your way into aggressive 1/8 scale bashing. Super-durable and easy to handle, it lets you tackle a larger size and faster speeds with complete confidence.
Now the TYPHON MEGA 665 4x4 takes the popular buggy’s impressive performance to the next level. Its high-speed MEGA 665 brushed motor is 11% larger than the 550-size motor of its predecessor, with an aluminum heatsink and 35mm cooling fan to boost efficiency and power. If you’re eventually aiming to go brushless, the included transmission is already 3S brushless-ready. It’s also protected against damage from excessive torque by a new, maintenance-free overload coupling.
Large chassis side guards lock out dirt. An all-terrain suspension and oil-filled, coilover shocks soak up bumps. You can adjust the ride height over uneven surfaces to add more ground clearance. Whatever the conditions, the multi-surface dBoots 2-HO tires provide awesome traction.
The TYPHON body comes factory-finished in several fresh color schemes, and now uses a clipless body retention system to preserve its lean, smooth looks. Rounding out this ready-to-run package are high-quality Spektrum electronics, including an SLT2 2.4GHz transmitter, LiPo-ready SLT 2-in-1 40A ESC/Receiver, and S661 digital metal-gear servo for precise, powerful steering.
So just add your own battery and charger. Then, take your ARRMA TYPHON MEGA 665 4x4 to your favorite dirt, gravel, or short grass bashing grounds. Set up some ramps or dirt mounds. Grab the transmitter, punch the throttle - and get set to speed and leap in a big way!
