This hobby requires adult supervision. Lipo batteries can be dangerous. The vehicle will need parts often (maybe daily depending on amount of abuse). The vehicle speed can leave a mark ( running in to the neighbors kid) etc

ARRMA's Typhon GROM 223S BLX is a small-scale brushless buggy that stands out for upgraded hardware and strong performance in a compact package. The brushless version adds all metal diffs and metal shocks, and the included battery and charger make the bundle feel better value than the bare car. Its size is truly small, with an 8 inch wheelbase and 12 inch overall length, yet it can still reach speeds around 40 mph. The main cautions are the usual RC realities, with LiPo safety, frequent parts replacement under hard use, and enough speed to cause injury or damage. It is a capable little platform if you are ready for the hobby side of it.

  • The included battery and charger make this brushless Typhon GROM bundle a stronger value than battery-less options.

  • ARRMA Grom models have been described as fun and a hit for family use, including Christmas gifting.

  • The brushless version includes upgraded parts compared with brushed models, including all-metal diffs and metal shocks.

    SharpRoute4382

  • The car's compact dimensions clarify its small-scale size, with an 8-inch wheelbase and 12-inch overall length.

    Kueller

  • LiPo battery safety risks mean this hobby requires adult supervision during operation and handling.

    WayTooEasy

  • Even on 2S with power limiting, the vehicle can still cause injury or damage at higher speeds.

    MrWesson

  • Frequent part replacement can be expected, including axles, gears, control arms, and shock towers.

    loner

  • The ESC and receiver being combined is a design drawback that some buyers wish were separate.

Run 2s batteries and limit power and you'll never break anything on an Arrma. 3s and you will for sure.

Everything else is accurate.. you can really hurt someone even with this small rc car at 40mph.

If you don't need the battery an charger, the same car is but cheaper without those items. Also on sale. Arrma is a great brand.

I have 5 grandsons. The oldest is 4. The one vehicle I will hand them without concern is my Traxxas trx4m and currently replacing a stripped ring gear. It held up great for awhile. Longer than I expected but if you possess no skills to repair these things the hobby will be short lived.

I have the granite grom and love it, but also think I would like this a little better. The groms are such a blast.

naw they are incorrect. the msrp is cheaper for the ones without a battery or charger. this one comes with it and is a great deal. these brushless ones comes with upgraded parts over the brushed model besides different esc and motors like all metal diffs, metal shocks.

Nothing against this RC at all (I own one), but even with just a 2S, the kids are likely to break this thing every time it goes out. Axles, gears, control arms, shock towers... Be prepared to get comfortable with replacing parts often. Just the nature of the hobby, especially with kids driving. If you don't break it, you're not playing hard enough.
