Welcome to another video by DJSPRC. Today we have one of the newest vehicles from
Arma. It's the Arma Typhoon Groom and this is the RTR version. Let's see what
kind of options they give us and what's on the box. You look at the main box
here, it says the Typhoon Groom small scale all-wheel-drive electric race buggy. It is an RTR. High power smart 2S LiPo included with the charger. If you go
on the rest of the side here, it gives you a little bit of information inside the vehicle itself. Quick release body mounts, basically saying no body clips
Waterproof SLT 2-in-1 25 amp ESC receiver combo. It does have a 25
mil high-speed cooling fan to cool. I'm not sure if it cools the ESC or it cools
the motor. 4-wheel drive transmission for maximum traction. Strong composite chassis with ventilation for optimum cooling fan. Duff wheels with
tire package. High downforce wheel. All the screws are X's in it. It comes with
steel servo gears. The center drive is still plastic but the gears inside and
the main spur is steel. That's one thing I do like. It does come in two colors. You
have blue and you have red as your options. It comes with a 2.4 gig SLT 2
channel transmitter with a 380 brush motor. It's a 28 turn motor. This is
cool. I'll talk about this soon. All metal gear servo. IC2 connectors and
like I said a 1400 milliamp 30c battery comes with it and a USB C charger. Two
years limited warranty. It's a smart tech. 380 mega motor. Metal gears. Water
resistant and ready to run. Let's open this box and see what it looks like. You
have your protector. Your vehicle. Put this aside. Let's see what's in the box
Remote. Accessory pack. Put the rest aside. We do have our SLT 2 transmitter. These
remotes are getting cheaper and cheaper and cheaper but it doesn't feel too bad
It does have the 50-75% to limit the speed. The person driving it feels it's
too fast or you feel it's too fast for your child. You can limit the speed
Then you have your steering. If you want this to be right or this to be
right or vice versa and left you can flip it. Then you have your steering
rate and your status light and your batteries goes here. Let's see what's in
the bag. You have your charger. USB C wire to IC2. One thing I do love what
Arma did, they gave you an adapter. For some reason the camera doesn't want to
focus but this adapter provides from USB A, if I remember correctly, to USB C
Not everybody has a computer or a charging block with USB C. Kudos to
Arma on that one. Some give you some space for your shocks if you want to put
a little bit more load on them. A set of batteries. Some kind of plastic card
that says Groom, your model number on it and showcase and support on the back
The other thing too Arma did, normally any vehicles comes with a wrench
this this kind here. If you've been in the hobby grade RC for a while you know
this wrench. They do the job but they're not the greatest. Arma decided to come out with this. With a 2mm at the end. Places to put spare
screws. Worst case scenario on both sides. They look threaded. Maybe not
They're not. No. Okay. Looks at first. But you can insert something if you ever need
to have a little more leverage. And the other end you have your 7mm nut
If you want to remove you will. That's one thing I do like. It is made like a
screwdriver. You don't have normal allen keys that are hard to grab and this is
easier to grab and you just wrench on it. Nice. Let's take a look at the vehicle here itself. Nice wheels. I like the way they
are designed. They don't feel a lot of foam inside but it's not a heavy machine
You have the downforce wing. That's similar to the 1.8 system. Underneath
itself. Chassis. Plastic chassis. Don't just blast. Just bash. Blast. Don't make
that. Don't just bash. Blast. Yeah. The arms are plastic. Upper and lower
The drive shafts are steel that I do like. And like I said earlier there's no body
clips. If you go in the middle of the shock tower and push this down you'll clip the
front. Pull on top a little bit and pull forward. You'll remove it. It locks right
here and it's just a clip in the back. Let's take a look inside of the vehicle
itself. Inside the vehicle you have your 2-in-1 ESC speed control. Okay. With all
your plug-ins. For your servo. And this is for the fan that cools the motor or the
ESC. I'm not sure. I don't see any directions on it to tell me which side it's
pulling or pushing. You do have your IC2s and your 1400 battery. That's IC2 here
too. You have your brush motor with a heatsink. Not a lot of companies that put
a heatsink on it. Arma decided to do it. Kudos to Arma for that one too. You have
your steel servo gear. Servo motor underneath the speed control itself. On-off
switch on top. Besides that, there's not much more about this vehicle here. I do
like the design of it. The stuff that they did to the smaller vehicles that other
companies don't do to that size of vehicles. Even the spur gear is steel. The shaft
gears in front are steel. A lot of companies that brought up some of these vehicles
here did not do that. I'm not going to mention any companies. I'm not that kind of
person to bring down companies. But they should maybe listen. There's a lot of
vehicles I saw the same size that were a pain to fix. Because you had to dismantle
the complete vehicle A to Z. And what I'm seeing here. Let's say you need to access
the center. Four screws here. And it looks like you have five here. You can remove
all this section and have access to the gears itself. Again, kudos on that one. Not tons
of dismantling to be able to fix this vehicle. That I do like. That I do like. And let's
see how easy to put this body back. Clip. Super easy. Do love that. You don't need to finick around the wheels. Things like that
One push button. Lift up. Take out. Push in. Boom. It locks. There you go

guys. And don't forget. Hit that like button in the corner. It does help the channel. And
subscribe to the channel. I do appreciate that very much. And continue watching near
future videos of running of this vehicle here. And this vehicle here is my business partner
Not a lot of you guys know this. In my YouTube channel, you pretty much only see me. Or hear
me. I do have a business partner. That is his. His, his, his, his. Well, that's his
vehicle. And he doesn't like to modify his vehicles a lot. But this one here, it won't
stay stock. There's an upgrade that's sitting here. That's going to come out and something
else coming in. It's going to be a little bit faster for sure. Really faster. But look
I'm looking forward to doing this upgrade to this vehicle once we're ready. And there's a
couple more vehicles coming very soon too. We'll have videos on that and running videos too
