Order the big ready-to-run, 1/8th scale Arrma Typhon today! What is in a ‘scale’? To most people a classic RC car is around 44cm long, 1/10th of the scale of its full-size real-life counterpart. In recent years, Losi, Traxxas and HPI Racing have shown us that there is more to the hobby, stating that bigger is better. Recently Arrma have joined the fold with a refreshed range of ‘ Typhon’ buggies. At over half a meter long these monster sized remote control cars are marketted as 1/8th scale, but only cost a touch over £200! We had to unbox one and see what all the fuss was about.

Order an FTX Carnage brushed, or brushless today! Brushed or brushless? This is a question that we get asked all too often.

It is a 1/10 scale crawl ..read more
