Let's take a look at the update Arrma has done to the Granite Grom and Typhon Grom mini Rc Bashers. Can they handle bashing 3s power and big upgraded tires? What will break first? Let's find out!

  • Damn you just caused a nationwide shortage of diffs lol good info thanks I need to snag a pair for my typhon
  • With that power that grom is nutty! I am impressed how well it held up!
  • @deezrcz
    I agree with you 100% on the groms being the best mini cars. The slop in the steering and suspension on the rc’s such as mjx, wltoys and hbx are a huge no go for me. I don’t care how many features they have or how much faster they are.

    Love your channel. Appreciate the in depth knowledge that you share!!!
  • @draken4936
    WOW, you acually reply to most comments, most people don’t do this! It’s great!
  • I agree with you that the arrmas are so much better to work on. I also have a Redcat volcano 16 (AKA the hbx 16889) and I really like it but the hardware and overall engineering is lacking. My next might be an associated reflex 14. Im really starting to dig these little rc's.
  • Yessir. So in mine I had to get the difs after the third day. So I went ahead and got stronger axles, dog bones… whatever u wanna call em. And I run a 3s 2838-5300 kv. Also had to retro fit a wheelie bar off of a hyper go buggy. Now I want one of those little plastic things u showed to save the bed. All and all it’s a great rig. I can’t wait to see what the next grom is.
  • @Macgyver46
    I have a set on warranty on the way. I kept missing the full metal versions. I'm definitely getting more groms now , I have a cool trick I want to try, but I need more groms first.
  • @INSIDIOUS-ONE
    Oh ya you should look into the associated reflex B & do some vids on that, I'm buying one this weekend. I almost commented "dude those DIFFS aren't the good ones" lol,you got it with the metal drive cups! So nice to see someone run these in the dirt! Every vid I've seen they run asphalt & do speed runs,LAME! DIRTS FOR RACING, ASPHALT S FOR GETTING THERE LMAO!
  • @Blimpus
    turned that into an epic lil ripper!
  • @dylanwhite6539
    imo if you stick with 2s the drivetrain should be fine with the updated diffs. my redcap volcano 16 never failed with its stock front drive but those are universal joints. also plastic diffs but they never gave with a 2440 motor.
  • @SleekHobbies88
    Steering servo sucks to,well mine was , trying to order new one have hard time finding it available
  • Hbx 16889pro still ahead of this.. very easy to work on too, fully upgraded and indestructible. On can say anything about arrma or other big brand, but the small basher market is already at his peak with hbx and mjx, unbeatable
  • @Batchat2352
    Cant put full metal or the oil filled ones... they just keep shooting themselves in the foot just being cheap. Get rid of the plastic diff cups and diff interna already. I called it at launch that the diff will need a 50$ upgrade because of the the diff cups. They will strip like the granite voltage does and the internal gears will fail. What do you know both failed
  • @joshuahead2375
    What's your source that this will be a running change on all new Granite and Typhon Groms? How do we know it's not just an optional upgrade part?
