If you love RC cars the new Arrma Groms are a must have! Packed with performance and versatility! I bought ALL of the Groms 1st version and had a blast with them and actually had made my own "V2" with many of the upgrades found on the V2. The new Grom is wicked fast, when you pull the trigger, they really get up and move. Spectacular performance right out of the box, my only tuning so far has been to stiffen up the aluminum oil filled shocks to reduce rear end bounce. The gyro works very well at keeping the wheels planted and provides excellent air control while jumping. The new bodies look really slick and are extremely durable. Big Car performance in a
compact package. 5 stars.

Arrma Typhon Grom 223S BLX 1/18 Brushless RTR 4WD Buggy (Black/Silver)
I don't usually leave many reviews but this one warranted some attention. I watched a plethora of videos before pulling the trigger and once I got it like all aarma's the packaging is top notch and this one is the silver model so no battery or charger included(just the AA batteries for the radio) since I have tons of other batteries, now as a warning and a bit of a surprise I did swap the ic2 connector for xt60 which was no problem but the wires off the receiver/esc combo are super thin literally about half that of my team ae reflex 14b reedy systems 16awg wire so the red 25amp sticker on the leads should probably be adhered to just saying. Now onto my review and boy oh boy this little thing absolutely rips it just takes off and says bye lol. I ran it in grass and dirt and gravel and pavement and I'm blown away, now so far as I can tell it don't handle as good as the reflex 14b but it does perfectly fine and is a great little basher had some spills and rolls and didn't hurt anything so like most aarma's it seems plenty durable. However it's not all perfect, the lack of foam in the tires is a let down and I think most would agree even for a $5-10 higher price it would have improved the vehicle just one minor gripe. I think aarma has a hit on their hands here and other makers should take note as in team ae their reflex 14b is overall great but is 2s only and is slower and pretty much mandates a fan being added due to heat issues and costs more money than this aarma, I have the reflex but this aarma is just a blast in comparison and also onto Traxxas I have the mini Revo and it mandates shimming the diffs and believe me from experience you absolutely have to do this or prepare to constantly change the gears out constantly and it is $299 and guess what it's slower so for $189 worth it all day and couldn't recommend it more also the clipless body design on this is excellent.

It is not well made. Reasons why :

- Quality- Parts lightweight, low quality - Plastic - Same as Generic RC ( Rlaaro )
- Price- Double the price as comparable RC's available
- Broken servo are common complaints
- Suggestions: Traxxas 1/16Line- SAme $ you get: Better Quality, Durability, Warranty
