Characteristics
With the Arrma Typhon Grom 223S BLX RC model car, thanks to its smaller size in 1:18 scale and powerful AC motor, you can enjoy a lot of fun indoors and outdoors at an affordable price. The durability, performance of the BLX and precise model processing are unique to the Arrma brand, and this model retains all the important features, including 4x4 drive and a high speed of up to 56 km/h . Upgrades are installed at the factory so that the model can easily handle the performance of the newly installed AC motor. The RC car is intended for children, adults, beginners and experienced drivers, who will receive a fully inflated ready-to-use model.
Since the AC drive is rated for 2-3S LiPo, you can start with a 2S LiPo battery (sold separately) and as your driving skills improve, you can add a 3S LiPo battery (sold separately) to the model and increase power and speed up to an extreme 80 km/h. In order for the model to handle such a power increase without a problem, upgrades such as all-metal gear differentials, steel half-axles, aluminum oil shock absorbers and aluminum steering linkages are already installed from the factory.
The RC model of the Typhon Grom 223S BLX car has a special DSC electronic driving stabilization function included in the control unit, which automatically performs steering corrections for smooth driving in skids, easier driving at higher speeds and on less sticky surfaces. DSC stabilization includes 4 modes, including the option to turn it off. Another function is the possibility of limiting the gas to 75% or 50%, so the model is also suitable for complete beginners.
The car is perfectly prepared for demanding driving, it contains a strong composite chassis with independent suspension, oil shock absorbers and 4WD drive. Rugged metal differential gears transfer power from the AC motor through a closed drivetrain to the dBoots 2-HO wheels and tires. Even the Spektrum™ SX110 servo has metal gears and, like the 2-in-1 25A control unit, equipped with an IC2® connector, it is waterproof* for driving in wet environments. An integrated high-speed cooling fan keeps motor and controller temperatures low for long life and peak performance.
In addition to the excellent driving characteristics, the model will also amaze you with the model processing of the Buggy-type bodywork, which is based on the popular model in a scale of 1:8. The body has a clipless attachment for easy assembly and disassembly , for turning on the model and charging the battery. Among other smaller car models, it stands out with power, versatility, great handling and the capabilities you need to impress others with your driving.
2-3S drive system
The Arrma Typhon Grom 223S BLX is a performance versatile model that can gradually grow with your driving skills. For starters, you can run the model on the included 2S LiPo battery and limit throttle output by 50%. Later you can increase the throttle to 75% and 100% and even connect a separately sold 3S LiPo battery to the model and reach speeds of up to 80 km/h.
Driving stabilization (DSC)
An exclusive feature, especially for new drivers, is the dynamic ride stabilization included in the Spektrum control unit. It uses integrated sensors to make steering corrections for easier driving. The intensity of stabilization can be conveniently changed using the transmitter in four modes, from off to a high degree of assistance.
Installed upgrades
For durability and increased performance, the model has factory-installed upgrades - full-metal gear differentials (ARA311193), steel half-axles (ARA311198), aluminum oil shock absorbers (ARA-1560) and aluminum adjustable steering linkages (ARA340208). Despite the mentioned improvements, the model maintains a favorable price.
Standard quality of the large model
The ARRMA TYPHON GROM 4X4 1:18 RTR is designed and built to the same high standards, durability and performance you expect from ARRMA RC cars. It's just a little smaller!
Great looking buggy
Right out of the box, you will be dazzled by the shape of the model and the buggy-type body, professionally finished from the factory and in striking color variants, which captures the unmistakable look of the original ARRMA TYPHON.
Clipless bodywork
The body is easily, quickly and securely snapped onto the chassis. The new one is without clips, which would have to be inserted into the holes and would damage the body during operation. This is a fastening system that can be easily mastered by all age groups. The powertrain transfers power to durable dBoots 2-HO wheels and tires. As with the large model, a proven compound and tire pattern is used here.
Powertrain
In the central part of the chassis is the center shaft that connects the front and rear differential. It has a direct drive from an AC motor using a pinion and main gear. At the end of the central shaft are the metal bevel gears for the differentials. The entire drivetrain is well protected for reliable performance even in challenging terrain.
Driving a car
For reliable steering, Spektrum™ SX110 servo steering is installed with metal gears, which will ensure high resistance even in the event of an impact.
Car power unit
On the right side of the chassis is the drive unit, consisting of a Firma 2838 4500Kv engine with a massive radiator and an integrated 25A regulator with a receiver. A fan is now placed between the components for even more efficient cooling.
Oil dampers
For brutal driving over obstacles, jumps and large bumps, the model is equipped with high-quality shock absorbers with durable aluminum bodies and filled with oil, which prevents vibration on bumps.
Spektrum SLT2 2.4GHz transmitter
The Spektrum SLT2 2-Channel Transmitter is the perfect size for all drivers. It can help you learn to control the model safely by limiting the model's maximum speed to 50% or 75% until you are ready for full power. The package includes 4 AA batteries for the transmitter.

We recommend to buy
To operate the model, it is necessary to add a battery and a suitable charger. For normal driving and speeds up to 56 km/h, we recommend a 2S LiPo battery with an IC2 connector. For higher performance and speeds of up to 80 km/h, we recommend a 3S LiPo battery.
Recommended batteries
The model can be powered by a LiPo battery with two (7.4 V) or three cells (11.1 V).
- 2S LiPo battery For regular driving - Spektrum Smart G2 LiPo 7.4V 1400mAh 2S 30C Hard Case
- 3S LiPo battery for higher performance and speed - Spektrum Smart G2 LiPo 11.1V 1300mAh 3S 30C Hard Case
Spektrum batteries with technology Smart currently represent the most modern and safest way of maintaining and charging batteries. The benefits of Spektrum Smart technology can be found here.
Smart G2 batteries are even simpler and safer, thanks to the absence of a balance connector. In addition, G2 batteries have up to 3x faster automatic discharge into storage mode. Smart G2 batteries can only be charged on Spektrum Smart and Smart G2 chargers.
Recommended chargers
We recommend Spektrum Smart chargers for charging 2S and 3S LiPo batteries.
- USB-C charger Spektrum Smart S100 USB-C with one output up to 100 W (depending on the USB source) + IC2/IC3 reduction.
- Spektrum Smart S155 AC mains charger with single output 55 W + IC2/IC3 reduction.

Accessories for normal operation
For the normal operation of RC models, you need tire glue, screw glue, a tool kit and silicone shock oil. We recommend an affordable tool kit for RC cars from our range.
Tire glue is used to glue the tires to the disc rim. It is always necessary that the tire is firmly stuck to the wheel rim all the way around! If the tire is not glued all the way around, it may tear. Tire glue has a special composition that is able to glue materials such as rubber or nylon, and at the same time, after hardening, the glue is flexible. We recommend Robitronic Tire Glue from our offer - see recommended accessories.
Sometimes it is necessary to add silicone oil to the shock absorbers of the model and change the oil in the differentials. During normal operation, there are only slight leaks of silicone oil on the piston rods of the shock absorber. In the event that the surface of the damper pistons or the condition of the seals is in poor condition, the oil leakage may be large. Repair kits or individual parts are supplied for these cases. From our range of silicone oils, we recommend TLR (Team Losi Racing) silicone oils, see recommended accessories.
For routine maintenance, screw glue is needed. Screws screwed into the metal material (e.g. screws in the motor, set screw in the pinion) must be secured against loosening with this glue.
Protective covers for accumulators
Protective packaging is intended to limit the risk associated with the transport and charging of accumulators. LiPo accumulators, while maintaining small dimensions and low weight, can provide high discharge currents and have a large capacity for a long driving time. Conversely, the LiPo battery is especially susceptible to mechanical damage.
