With track-inspired handling and super-tough bashing build quality, your TYPHON 6S BLX will put you in control of exhilarating RC driving action, straight from the box. Rip up your local dirt bowl, blast across the mall parking lot OR launch huge jumps at the skate park. The TYPHON 6S BLX can do it all.
Shock cap protectors fitted to the TYPHON 6S BLX prevent shock cap damage during upside-down moments.
The shocks on the TYPHON 6S BLX now feature high-quality moulded caps and preload adjusters.
Secure battery mount system holds your batteries in TIGHT.
Two hook-and-loop straps, fitted perpendicular to each other, provide a secure fit for your batteries. The secure fit means batteries can be safely mounted side-by-side, or one on top of the other.
The battery tray incorporates a balance plug stowage area. Battery balance plugs are held in place with a rubber strap, keeping them away from rotating parts.
Wire routing clips fit to the long hook-and-loop strap and keep battery-to-ESC wires away from rotating parts of the model. The front upper brace of the battery adjusts itself to the height of your battery packs.
The TYPHON 6S BLX features a completely new design body, paint scheme and decals.
The new design body on the TYPHON 6S BLX has six open vents along the rear section. These encourage air-flow within the body, keeping the electronics running cool when the action heats up. Super-detailed decals are pre-applied to the high-quality body shell. The TYPHON 6S BLX looks awesome from any angle.
A new design rear wing provides the stability required to pilot the TYPON 6S BLX at 60+mph speeds, no matter what the terrain.
The TYPHON 6S BLX features an all-new radio box design. ESC and servo wires now pass through a foam seal that slides into the side of the radio box, meaning that these wires stay in place when the lid is removed.
There is a continuous rubber seal between the radio box base and the lid, protecting the receiver from the elements.
The radio box also has increased internal volume, allowing more room to fit after market receivers.
Aggressive and hard-wearing dBoots all-terrain tires are mounted on strong black nylon wheels, giving you the traction you need to put the BLX brushless power straight onto your chosen surface. 17mm wheel hex fittings allow the use of a wide range of third party wheel and tire combinations.
The gearboxes have been beefed-up; strength has been strategically added in key areas for even more durability. Material has been added to the servo mount to increase the stiffness in this area. This sharpens the steering feel when driving the vehicle. The TYPHON 6S BLX has revised front lower suspension arms. Material has been strategically added to increase the strength and improve the durability of these components.
