Product Details

Built for fast Speed Buggy action out of the box, the updated 1/8 scale ARRMA TYPHON 4X4 MEGA 550 RTR now includes a 3-channel Spektrum SLT3 radio, more powerful steering servo, higher capacity NiMH battery for longer run times — and more.

Making your move into 1/8 scale Speed Buggy action has never been easier. Fast, rugged and factory-built, the 2S LiPo-compatible ARRMA TYPHON 4X4 MEGA RTR comes ready out of the box to bash on any terrain. Precision aluminum, tough steel and composite materials come together for an easy-to-maintain, super-durable vehicle design whose high downforce wing and low center of gravity, with wide arms and narrow wheels and tires, improve handling over race tracks, trails, muddy courses, skate parks and more. This version features new equipment that further increases the original Speed Buggy’s already impressive performance and durability.

The TYPHON 4X4 MEGA RTR is DESIGNED FAST, DESIGNED TOUGH — built for exciting bashing speeds and extreme, all-terrain durability. New features that enhance its unstoppable performance include a stronger chassis and retained hinge pin plates; steering with more clearance for stones; a castellated slipper pad and sliding gear mesh; and rubber-shielded bearings throughout.

The Speed Buggy now also includes the Spektrum SLT3 transmitter and SLR300 receiver. The transmitter is ergonomically designed for long periods of fatigue-free bashing and has a foam wheel for precise fingertip control plus an improved hand grip and trigger feel. New bashers will be able to set throttle limits at 50% or 75% until they are ready to use the full speed potential. The SLT3 is compatible with Tactic SLT receivers to run other RTR vehicles you may own, and includes a third channel to control optional features such as lights and winches on models that have them.

It also has the ingenious modular design perfected by ARRMA engineers for easy component access and maintenance. The power module, with improved dirt management, consists of a MEGA 550 motor for rock-jumping speed, plus motor plate, slipper clutch assembly and gear cover. The power module can be detached from the chassis as a complete unit by removing just one screw. With the power module removed, the slipper clutch can be reached easily for adjustments by taking out three screws that attach the gear cover. The gear ratio can be finely tuned as the power module now uses a sliding motor mesh design.

A two-piece molding screwed to the Speed Buggy’s chassis serves as its electronics module, containing a waterproof receiver box, servo mount and ESC tray. The SLR300 receiver mounts inside the receiver box for protection from dirt and moisture. The ultra-compact ESC is screwed to the top of the module, allowing quick access to the on/off switch, while the servo mounts to the side. All three components can be removed together, quickly and easily.

    Great starter RC, you’ll want to go brushless
    4 Stars
    Great starter RC, you’ll want to go brushless
    So at first I wasn’t exactly blown away by the mega, granted my grass hadn’t been cut so it was working harder than I originally gave it credit for. It absolutely had zero issues conquering my yard, albeit maybe a bit slower than I would have liked not sure what I was expecting but you get the point. Other than the expected drag and minor friction of an unkempt yard it was flying, once I took it to the asphalt parking lot and really opened it up I was pleasantly surprised. If I had to call it I would say 20+ mph maybe closer to 23ish out of the box. I definitely would have gone for the 3s, but for around $100 you can convert it yourself with very little effort. Just do some research. A major draw this is one of the easiest RC cars I’ve ever worked on. The modular design is 10/10. It’s a sweet set up. But yeah go for 3s or higher. Still easy transition but it’s more steps than are needed.

    Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2023
    The only reason to buy the Mega Typhon is if you plan on taking it to 4s or above...That way there is no point paying extra for the 3s versions parts since they will be upgraded for 4s or above parts anyways...If not be patient and save up for the extra 110$ and buy the 3s Typhon instead...

    Update: After getting a 100$ Hobbywing 3s ESC/Motor combo and .08 mod spur I got it to 56mph on a 17t pinion...Handles it easy and runs much cooler than the brushed system...

    Update 2: Ok well it gets 5 stars now lol...18t pinion and a few other small upgrades and it hit 74mph
