That’s not a bad idea 🤔💡

Great job covering the Typhon Grom. I'm in the process of upgrading mine and didn't know that the servo was held in by the ESC. I purchased an adjustable motor mount and M0.5 pinion and now I need a Hot Racing Servo mount. Total cost is about $35 without motor, ESC and receiver. So basically by the time your done you could have bought 2 Arrma Groms but it should be worth it. The stock parts are very reasonable so it should prove to be a great little buggy on 2s. I like the 2 in one motor from Arrma but to save money I'm just using what I have for the electronics.

Is that 2 in 1 esc 3s capable? Having trouble fitting 3s esc inside lol. Great vid bro! Also one more question lol, do you have a link for those shocks? I got the kyx Grom shocks but the springs are way too stiff!😤

@TestDriverRC

The ESC is very capable but you will need a new pinion with 2mm shaft to use it. As far as the Shocks I'd go with Losi mini b aluminum shocks

Man when you showed me that thottle % on the side I was like whattt. turns out my granite grom has been on 75% thus whole time lol....

@TestDriverRC

Absolutely! You’ll need a 2.0mm pinion for the 2n1 motor esc. The stock pinion is a 2.3mm inner diameter. Make sure to get a MOD 0.5 and 16T fits the stock motor mount.

Awesome video 👍 What weight oil did you use in the shocks ?

No you’ll need a aftermarket 2mm pinion for the 2n1 spektrum Motor ESC. And it will only run on 2s.. won’t power up on a 3s lipo

The servo mounts were pulled from a Tamiya TT-02 kit. But any 1/10 or 1/18 scale universal servo mounts should be compatible.

You’ve clearly never owned and tuned a Team Associated Reflex 14b! They are awesome and many clubs started race class’ in 2019 based on that awesome platform. I’ve owned over 50 RC’s and the Reflex is one of my favorites. They released a Reflex MT a few months ago and although I haven’t owned I hear it’s supposed to be awesome. Also, the 12 scale LC Racing truggy is AMAZING and my Ho Bao Hyper TT 12 scale Truggy is awesome as well. Some of the small scale stuff are a lot of fun at skate parks. With that said, I’m more of a 10 scale MT and 8 scale buggy and Truggy guy.
