Welcome to another video by DJSPRC. Today
we have one of the newest vehicles from

00:19.659 --> 00:29.340
Arma. It's the Arma Typhoon Groom and
this is the RTR version. Let's see what

00:29.340 --> 00:36.020
kind of options they give us and what's
on the box. You look at the main box

00:36.020 --> 00:49.360
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

00:49.360 --> 00:57.400
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

00:57.400 --> 01:06.660
Waterproof SLT 2-in-1 25 amp ESC
receiver combo. It does have a 25

01:06.660 --> 01:11.559
mil high-speed cooling fan to cool. I'm
not sure if it cools the ESC or it cools

01:11.559 --> 01:25.660
the motor. 4-wheel drive transmission for maximum traction. Strong
composite chassis with ventilation for optimum cooling fan. Duff wheels with

01:25.739 --> 01:33.620
tire package. High downforce wheel. All
the screws are X's in it. It comes with

01:33.620 --> 01:39.900
steel servo gears. The center drive is
still plastic but the gears inside and

01:39.900 --> 01:48.379
the main spur is steel. That's one thing
I do like. It does come in two colors. You

01:48.379 --> 01:57.440
have blue and you have red as your
options. It comes with a 2.4 gig SLT 2

01:57.440 --> 02:06.620
channel transmitter with a 380 brush
motor. It's a 28 turn motor. This is

02:06.620 --> 02:15.020
cool. I'll talk about this soon. All
metal gear servo. IC2 connectors and

02:15.020 --> 02:21.539
like I said a 1400 milliamp 30c battery
comes with it and a USB C charger. Two

02:21.539 --> 02:28.460
years limited warranty. It's a smart
tech. 380 mega motor. Metal gears. Water

02:28.460 --> 02:40.100
resistant and ready to run. Let's open
this box and see what it looks like. You

02:40.100 --> 02:48.580
have your protector. Your vehicle. Put
this aside. Let's see what's in the box

02:49.539 --> 03:06.979
Remote. Accessory pack. Put the rest aside.
We do have our SLT 2 transmitter. These

03:07.059 --> 03:14.300
remotes are getting cheaper and cheaper
and cheaper but it doesn't feel too bad

03:14.300 --> 03:24.259
It does have the 50-75% to limit the
speed. The person driving it feels it's

03:24.259 --> 03:29.460
too fast or you feel it's too fast for
your child. You can limit the speed

03:29.460 --> 03:35.580
Then you have your steering. If you
want this to be right or this to be

03:35.580 --> 03:40.380
right or vice versa and left you can
flip it. Then you have your steering

03:40.380 --> 03:49.259
rate and your status light and your
batteries goes here. Let's see what's in

03:49.259 --> 04:03.580
the bag. You have your charger. USB C
wire to IC2. One thing I do love what

04:03.820 --> 04:08.619
Arma did, they gave you an adapter. For
some reason the camera doesn't want to

04:08.619 --> 04:14.899
focus but this adapter provides from
USB A, if I remember correctly, to USB C

04:14.899 --> 04:21.579
Not everybody has a computer or a
charging block with USB C. Kudos to

04:21.579 --> 04:28.459
Arma on that one. Some give you some
space for your shocks if you want to put

04:28.459 --> 04:37.739
a little bit more load on them. A set
of batteries. Some kind of plastic card

04:37.739 --> 04:46.859
that says Groom, your model number on
it and showcase and support on the back

04:48.459 --> 04:54.700
The other thing too Arma did, normally
any vehicles comes with a wrench

04:54.859 --> 05:00.140
this this kind here. If you've been in
the hobby grade RC for a while you know

05:00.140 --> 05:16.420
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

05:16.420 --> 05:23.940
screws. Worst case scenario on both
sides. They look threaded. Maybe not

05:23.940 --> 05:29.299
They're not. No. Okay. Looks at first. But
you can insert something if you ever need

05:29.299 --> 05:33.380
to have a little more leverage. And
the other end you have your 7mm nut

05:33.380 --> 05:40.820
If you want to remove you will. That's
one thing I do like. It is made like a

05:40.820 --> 05:46.220
screwdriver. You don't have normal allen
keys that are hard to grab and this is

05:46.220 --> 06:03.660
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

06:03.660 --> 06:14.140
are designed. They don't feel a lot of
foam inside but it's not a heavy machine

06:14.859 --> 06:20.940
You have the downforce wing. That's
similar to the 1.8 system. Underneath

06:20.940 --> 06:27.500
itself. Chassis. Plastic chassis. Don't
just blast. Just bash. Blast. Don't make

06:27.500 --> 06:35.980
that. Don't just bash. Blast. Yeah.
The arms are plastic. Upper and lower

06:36.940 --> 06:44.140
The drive shafts are steel that I do like.
And like I said earlier there's no body

06:44.140 --> 06:51.739
clips. If you go in the middle of the shock
tower and push this down you'll clip the

06:51.739 --> 06:58.540
front. Pull on top a little bit and pull
forward. You'll remove it. It locks right

06:59.420 --> 07:06.779
here and it's just a clip in the back.
Let's take a look inside of the vehicle

07:06.779 --> 07:15.100
itself. Inside the vehicle you have your
2-in-1 ESC speed control. Okay. With all

07:15.100 --> 07:23.420
your plug-ins. For your servo. And this is
for the fan that cools the motor or the

07:23.420 --> 07:27.420
ESC. I'm not sure. I don't see any
directions on it to tell me which side it's

07:27.420 --> 07:36.859
pulling or pushing. You do have your IC2s
and your 1400 battery. That's IC2 here

07:36.859 --> 07:42.140
too. You have your brush motor with a
heatsink. Not a lot of companies that put

07:42.140 --> 07:49.980
a heatsink on it. Arma decided to do it.
Kudos to Arma for that one too. You have

07:49.980 --> 07:55.019
your steel servo gear. Servo motor
underneath the speed control itself. On-off

07:55.019 --> 08:07.339
switch on top. Besides that, there's not
much more about this vehicle here. I do

08:07.339 --> 08:13.500
like the design of it. The stuff that they
did to the smaller vehicles that other

08:13.500 --> 08:21.260
companies don't do to that size of vehicles.
Even the spur gear is steel. The shaft

08:21.260 --> 08:25.899
gears in front are steel. A lot of companies
that brought up some of these vehicles

08:25.899 --> 08:33.179
here did not do that. I'm not going to
mention any companies. I'm not that kind of

08:33.179 --> 08:39.340
person to bring down companies. But they
should maybe listen. There's a lot of

08:39.340 --> 08:46.059
vehicles I saw the same size that were a
pain to fix. Because you had to dismantle

08:46.059 --> 08:50.619
the complete vehicle A to Z. And what I'm
seeing here. Let's say you need to access

08:50.619 --> 08:57.020
the center. Four screws here. And it looks
like you have five here. You can remove

08:57.020 --> 09:03.099
all this section and have access to the gears
itself. Again, kudos on that one. Not tons

09:03.099 --> 09:11.500
of dismantling to be able to fix this vehicle.
That I do like. That I do like. And let's

09:11.580 --> 09:26.539
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

09:27.500 --> 09:37.340
One push button. Lift up. Take out.
Push in. Boom. It locks. There you go

09:38.299 --> 09:42.700
Now if you guys have any questions or comments,
post them below. I'll be glad to answer you

09:42.700 --> 09:47.820
guys. And don't forget. Hit that like button
in the corner. It does help the channel. And

09:47.820 --> 09:56.059
subscribe to the channel. I do appreciate
that very much. And continue watching near

09:56.059 --> 10:02.219
future videos of running of this vehicle here.
And this vehicle here is my business partner

10:03.020 --> 10:10.380
Not a lot of you guys know this. In my YouTube
channel, you pretty much only see me. Or hear

10:10.380 --> 10:16.700
me. I do have a business partner. That is
his. His, his, his, his. Well, that's his

10:16.700 --> 10:26.299
vehicle. And he doesn't like to modify his
vehicles a lot. But this one here, it won't

10:26.299 --> 10:34.219
stay stock. There's an upgrade that's sitting
here. That's going to come out and something

10:34.219 --> 10:43.979
else coming in. It's going to be a little
bit faster for sure. Really faster. But look

10:43.979 --> 10:49.419
I'm looking forward to doing this upgrade to
this vehicle once we're ready. And there's a

10:49.419 --> 10:56.059
couple more vehicles coming very soon too.
We'll have videos on that and running videos too

10:57.020 --> 11:03.179
But I digress. Thank you for watching. And don't
forget again to hit that like button and subscribe
