One thing id like to comment on post-video: Here in MI it is hovering around 100 degrees F. For climates over 90 I would recommend upgrading the ESC fan. I was able to fit a 30x30mm fan no issues. Its a bit tight but any 30x30mm fan (commonly used for motor fans) should work just fine. Prior to upgrading the fan I was hitting about 185 internal temp on the ESC. Now im closer to 150. 185 is the highest I want to see any of my ESCs at. For awareness max motor temp per Spektrum manual is 300 degrees F. Seems a bit high to me but have not come remotely close to that.

There is a way to set the end points for the steering without the bluetooth, you just have to put it into learing mode.

This is true! Unsure if it is detailed in the manual that comes with the buggy. If not, it is in the transmitter manual online. The bluetooth module/phone app just makes it much easier and allows for quick, precise adjustments.

Your wrong about the 75% auto calculate thinking it’s a 3s

A fully charged 3s pack is roughly 12.6 volts (4.2v/cell). Storage voltage on my 4s packs is 3.8 volts per cell, with 75% charged roughly 4 volts per cell. 4 volts multiplied by 4 cells equals 12 volts being reported to the esc when plugged in. Esc will figure the pack (12v) is closer to a 3s (12.6v) than 4s (16.8v), and operate assuming it is a 3s pack, draining the voltage per cell well under 3 volts (absolute minimum I would want it at!). Only exception I can think of is MAYBE it knows my Spektrum batteries are a 4s because of the smart technology. Curious what your thoughts are.

@@smurfwithavette a 3s battery is a damn 3s battery no matter if it’s charged or flat! A 4s battery is a 4s battery no matter if it’s charged or flat. Can tell we live in the gender “fluid” era, when kids think a battery can choose to identify what “s” it is dependant on how charged it is. Seriously

The plastic chassis was a dealbreaker. I race with my ARRMA Typhon “TLR” tuned (nothing on that thing is actually TLR but OG Team Durango DEX8, but Horizon will use whatever branding they can) and it comes fully loaded without cheaping out in the aluminum parts.

But the Typhon does not have a sensored motor. Your paying for the electronics on this buggy. The chassis on this one is 4mm aluminum.

There is no plastic chassis 😂 I own this buggy and race it.
