Update 12/9/21 so the car is a beast. The seller fixed the issue and the only problem I have had since is tires. It will literally blow them apart. I've gone through 16 sets. Yes a lot of them were the cheaper ones to try out. But it even will blow apart the belted tires. It has so much power. It will literally jump a house or a bus. It takes a beating and just keeps going.
Updated its January 18. Still having trouble contacting horizon for any repairs. But the seller has stepped in and is sending an upgrade servo for a car they don't even service. I would give 2 extra starts and will definitely do business with rapid wheelhouse again in the future. There customer service makes up for the headache with this problem for sure.
update: i left it outside overnight while it was wet and (of course) it rusted. luckily it not only came with the tools i didn't have, it is also very serviceable, even for a novice like me. arrma also has an exploded view of the car on their website, showing what goes where, and even integrated hyperlinks showing where to buy each displayed part. some couple hours of removing rust and reassembling, i was able to rebuild the entire car without so much as a hitch. 10/10 car and 11/10 repairability.

1. I had to buy a 6s lipo though, as the 2@3s lipos I already owned were too tall and the body did not fit.
I bought a 6s 5000mah 100c Spektrum lipo and it fits perfect.
2. One more thing you will need is a heat sink and cooling fan.
The ARRMA brand heat sink and cooling fan are too tall for the Typhon 6s. I would have expected ARRMA to design a heat sink and fan to fit the Typhon 6s and keep you in their line, but I had to go outside ARRMA for the cooling set up.
I recommend the NHX aluminum heat sink with dual aluminum cooling fans. These are 28,000 rpm and in my opinion better than the ARRMA set-up. The NHX fan clips right into the Spektrum 2050 motor and dual fans plug right into esc.
If you are on the fence about the Typhon 6s, just do it. You will not regret it. This buggy not only is a speed rocket, it launches easily 20 ft up with little effort on a proper bash ramp or skate park. I have not had the courage to launch it 30 to 40 ft up yet, but I have witnessed thus buggy easily soar this high.
