Takes a Bashing!
Very Fast!
Handling is Great!
Did I mention Fun!
It has been years so and my memory isn't the best - but this Typhon 3S feels like it would have destroyed all my upgraded Traxxas vehicles.. In reality probably not, but being skeptical it has reallyu exceeded my expectations. Now, I did make the mistake of driving it in the street and my street has like 12" curbs which I proceeded to hit my second time running. Shock broke, but it could have been worse. Bought upgraded shocks and have run the car many times since - steering clear of anything resembling pavement. It has taken a decent beating with rolls and some small air without a single issue. The radio has good range, but the sensitivity I am not sure about. May have to look at some upgrades in that department - but just for general bashing and fun (I mostly use mine to let my dogs chase after it - they are obssessed and its great exercise for them - it is def worth the price.
I knew better than to drive it on the street where curbs are present - but gave into impulse and paid 40$ for it. It is super fast stock and I can't wait to try the Kraton et al.
