Get everything you want in your first (or next) bash buggy with the small-scale, ready-to-run ARRMA TYPHON GROM 223S BLX. Already 2S and 3S capable out of the box, it offers premium performance — and 50+ mph top speed potential — without a premium price.
ARRMA raised the performance of low-cost, small-scale RC buggies to the next level with the fast, tough TYPHON GROM. Agile and responsive like the 1/8 scale TYPHON, the little GROM goes places that bigger buggies can't, allowing anyone to enjoy amped-up ARRMA bashing almost anywhere. Now ARRMA introduces the brushless TYPHON GROM 223S BLX – and for new drivers who have big plans for the future, it's the best choice of basher to grow on.
No one wants to make compromises in their first RC vehicle. That's why ARRMA developed the 223S series. You don't have to accept limited capabilities to get a low price. You don't have to break your budget to get performance that grows with your experience. You can have it ALL – low cost, legendary toughness, and the ability to advance from 2S into 3S power – in one buggy with the TYPHON GROM 223S BLX.
Using a 2S LiPo battery, the TYPHON GROM 223S BLX offers comfortable, beginner-friendly speeds that match or beat other manufacturers' 2S bashers. When you've gained some skills, drop in a 3S battery. Now your TYPHON GROM 223S BLX can unleash thrilling top speeds of 50 mph or more!
Advance into faster speeds and higher performance without having to buy a new model or make expensive upgrades to reach 3S specs. Those upgrades are already included and installed, adding to the exceptional value of the TYPHON GROM 223S BLX buggy's low price. What's more, when you first step up to 3S power, the TYPHON GROM 223S BLX has special features that ease you into the upper reaches of its incredible 20 to 50+ mph speed range.
One of those features is the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) built into the buggy's Spektrum electronics. With four selectable modes, DSC will automatically correct steering input as needed to improve your control, confidence, and safety, whether you're bashing on high-grip or low-grip surfaces. As you gain experience, just turn off the DSC and succeed with the skills you've learned.
Another aid for developing drivers is the throttle limiting feature of the included Spektrum SLT2 2-channel transmitter. With a 2S or 3S battery installed, it can help you learn control skills safely by limiting the buggy's maximum available speed to 50% or 75% until you're ready for it all. Throttle limiting, DSC, and your choice of battery all work together so you'll never worry about moving faster than you can manage. Driving the TYPHON GROM 223S BLX, anyone can make the transition from 2S to 3S speeds with absolute confidence.
Bring the small-scale TYPHON GROM 223S BLX with you to the office and do some bashing on your breaks. Slip it into your backpack, head to the local skate park, dirt field, or even your backyard, and put some extra polish on your skills. Whether you're a young beginner or an experienced RC driver, the TYPHON GROM 223S BLX easily fits time for ARRMA RC bashing into your busy life. It's tough, fast, and conveniently small.
ARRMA has solved the most difficult choice facing anyone buying their first RC bashing buggy. Why make compromises? Get everything you want – affordability, easy control, and advanced capabilities – with ready-to-run TYPHON GROM 223S BLX.
Don't compromise on performance by choosing between a 2S or 3S capable basher. The small-scale, go-anywhere TYPHON GROM 223S BLX buggy is ready for both. Start with the included 2S LiPo for beginner-friendly speeds. When ready, install a 3S battery for blistering 50+ mph bashing! The included SLT2 radio can automatically limit top speed to a comfortable level until you're ready for it all.
Another unique feature that makes the TYPHON GROM 223S BLX ideal for new drivers is the Spektrum electronics' Dynamic Stability Control (DSC). With four selectable modes, DSC will automatically apply steering corrections to improve your control, confidence, and safety, whether you're bashing on high- or low-grip surfaces. As you gain experience, just turn off the DSC and rely on your own skills.
Adding to the exceptional value of its low price, the TYPHON GROM 223S BLX comes already equipped with popular ARRMA option parts for the durability to handle high-speed 3S bashing. These include an Assembled Oil Filled Differential Set (ARA311193), Metal Axle & Wheel Hub Set (ARA311198), Aluminum Shock Set (ARA-1560), and Adjustable Steering Links (ARA340208).
The TYPHON GROM 223S BLX is engineered and manufactured to the same high standards of durability and performance that you expect from any ARRMA vehicle. It's just smaller!
Right out of the box, the racing buggy body comes professionally factory-finished in a brilliant, distinctive color scheme. It captures the unmistakable looks and form of the original ARRMA TYPHON in small-scale size. Tough buggy wheels and tires add all-terrain traction.
The TYPHON GROM 223S BLX buggy body snaps onto the chassis easily, quickly, and securely, and comes off with a simple press-and-release. With no tiny clips to force into place, it's a body attachment system that's perfect even for young bashers.
The enclosed drivetrain with rugged metal gears carries power from the installed Spektrum 4500Kv Brushless Motor to all four wheels for high traction. The entire power system is well-protected for dependable performance on all terrain.
Enjoy carefree bashing with your TYPHON GROM 223S BLX buggy in any conditions. The drivetrain is metal geared for durability. Even the installed Spektrum SX110 waterproof steering servo has tough metal gears.
The high-quality Spektrum SLT2 2-channel transmitter is perfectly equipped for all drivers. Whether using 2S or 3S power, it can help you learn control skills safely by limiting the buggy's maximum available speed to 50% or 75% until you're ready for it all. Four AA batteries included.
The included Spektrum Smart 2S LiPo battery with IC2 connectors provides the power for long run times. When it's time to recharge, just plug it into the convenient Spektrum Smart G2 S10 USB-C Charger. Safe charging begins automatically and takes only about an hour.
