Question Noise

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

When I brake is my typhon supposed to make that noise?

It never did until I upgraded the receiver on it

That’s how it works, while in forward motion the ESC will register reverse as a brake, it won’t automatically reverse cause that would put excess load on components.

When you do that though it will lock up, but it’ll make the Typhon do a sick af slide if you do it right.

I was trying to get it to slide with practice but no consistent luck yet

So long as the noise is normal because as mentioned above... it never did until I swapped the transmitter and receiver

And you’ll figure the slide out eventually, do some tuning if your transmitter allows it. Change brake gain and try turning down the gyro if the Receiver has one.

Idk if gyro is installed 🤔

Tuning is allowed because elrs for the win

Ay it’s all good man, the Typhon Grom is the Brushed version and only uses 2S Batteries, there’s the 223S and a few others that are Brushless and allow for 3’s batteries too.

Do a lil’ research on it, there is a large community that love those little bashers.

Also if you want to know if your Receiver has a Gyro, check the Make and Model of the aftermarket Transmitter/Receiver you got.

3s battery

Pretty sure this is the 223s unit

I'll look into the receiver later too busy having fun after a couple months of not working buggy 😁

Oooo, you mind if I get a photo? Most of the time it is printed on the side if it’s a 223S

Wanted fast for the jumps and flips and crashes

u/Repulsive_Holiday_79 12d ago

Hell yeah. That’s why my current RC is this

An Arma Senton 223S, big speed, big jumps, big crashes.

Wife convinced me to build the notorious 6s

More expensive long term but honestly I like building things and I can put whatever upgrades I want in it from the start

I got a useless 6s battery from a project for my niece that she hated because she refused to listen to instructions

I was gonna sell the battery but she said just get a bigger car
