I love the senton it an amazing car. The senton handles way better with a little bigger tires, the wider the better I've found out. The granite tires are perfect.
I watched this video for the first time today. You did a great job. I am considering buying a Senton and I have watched four videos including this one and this is the best. I think the side-by-side comparison gives me excellent information. Have watch the crazy drivers in my local 4WD SCT class most of them could use TSM or AVC. One local indoor track a few years ago had to but up a plexiglass shield around the outer walls. Because they were leaving the track and flying into the pits. The owner finally said that's it. No more indoor class for 4WD SCT. It scares me to death when you see little kids watching these trucks runs and their parents let them stand next to the track. Thanks a lot. Keep up the good work.
Favor and peace be increased to you all. Just got my slash 4x4 brushless last week and waiting on 3s lipos this week to run it for the first time. Already ordered a senton 4x4 brushless that should be here next week. Can't wait to run them both!
The Arma stuff is always faster but the second function isn't very good. The traxxas stuff while slower, the tsm gives you more confidence while driving. Both are fun to drive, but I chose traxxas for my family mainly because of availability.
Thanks for showing us and sharing all the great information Mark. I like the Arrma Senton and the Slash. Both are pretty freaking cool RCs. Appreciate it my friend. 👍
Still need to try changing the tires, that alone is day and night. Love my Senton and out of the box, there's definitely a few cheap improvements to be made, but it's such a great car. Hopefully the v4 will fix these simple issues. This was a great comparison. Take them to the track next!
I just bought 2 gt5’s plus about a half dozen extra receivers, I’m getting sick of lugging around a ton of rtr remotes that suck, plus I figured the gyro would even the playing f9eld between my models. Haven’t started converting anything yet, just got them in, but really excited to have everything work off one remote
Hello. I made my senton 3s into senton 6s with a hobbywing 150amp esc and hw motor. Took it off my redcat kaiju. What it did is give me over an hr of run time and a lil bit more to work with on the throttle. It an amazing truck. One thing ive had issues with is the plastic driveshaft though.
I have the slash 4x4 ultimate. average top speed is between 50 and 55 on packed dirt. not sure if the ultimate comes with a higher gear out of the box. I haven't put the speed gear on. doesn't seem worth it to burn out the motor for 15 more mph.
I have the BLX 4x4 3s and riding on the Slash 4x4 tires on. The Traxxas tires have better grip and have lasted longer. The stock Senton tires wear out QUICK! Also, within the first 2 weeks, I blown out 5 tires. I decided to spend a little more and bought the Traxxas Slash tires. Best investment
Shock tower placement could be a factor also. Not sure how they differ from the box. When I take my Slash Ultimate to the carpet track I switch my shock tower placement big time in comparison to bashing.
Great video Mark, as always. You should have speed tested the Senton with the TSM activated though, to see if that has an impact on top speed. Plus 50c vs 25c might also have an impact on performance. I think it would be fair to run both cars on the same batteries, even if you have to use adapters.
Agreed it would be another good comparison with the same battery C rating. Mark said in the video that the two batteries used are "what the manufacturers make" in 5000mah. 25c vs 50c is a significant difference.
@@Ronnaferd Thirding this. I actually used to race 4WD SCTs. I had (technically, still have) a Losi TEN-SCTE kitted out with a Novak Havoc 550 motor and Tekin RX8 ESC. It wouldn't even run on a 25C battery, it would just keep browning out. Had to bump up to 50C just to get it to run.
Awesome comparison also I love my monster arrma senton it's super modded out with UA-cam's first glow wheelies running the 14 mm six pack MT by Duratrax what a boss
I put a gyro with the flysky gt5 on the Kraton 4-s. It’s way easier to drive. Plus traxxas esc don’t have as much punch in their esc. I like the punch in the arma for flips. I like the linear punch in the traxxas for control in racing.
My nephew has the hoss its junk i hope you have better luck with yours i have the maxx aka mini max lol but ita worth the price diffrence 100%i absolutely love it im running a 4s lipo 51 mph out of the box i havent had anything break yet
What if you dial the punch back on the Senton so that it's as slow as the Slash? Edit: The Slash seems to have a lot less power just based on the lack of wheelies.
If you drop the punch setting of the Senton down to 1, it will still break 50 mph. I found that out of curiosity on my channel. But I feel the difference in this case might be the slipper clutch settings. The slash isn't quite as fast as far as top speed out of the box, but is every bit as powerful as the Senton. The Traxxas VXL systems are really good.
Nice been waiting for this video. I own the Senton BLX but I'm waiting for spring to bash it. After seeing this I'm thinking of maybe getting a spoiler to help keep it on the ground and stable
Mark, I've watched quite a few of your videos now and enjoy your content. I have a few rc's.... started with the RC18MT then got a 2wd Stampede, and a few other things..... after many years I'm wanting to get something bigger (1/10th scale or bigger) that is 4wd and brushless. What would your recommendation be? I understand you're mostly a traxxas guy so, 4x4- Stampede, Rustler, Slash, e-revo (2.0)? Don't have a whole lot of money. But I can save if the e-revo, etc. is really worth it. Also is the bigger Slash more fun in your opinion? Lastly, are you looking to sell the car you'd recommend? Wish I was in Texas ( Utah seems to be more sparse for good hobby shops, swapmeets, and such). Thanks in advance.
Hi Mark, I enjoy your videos, but this one seemed "a little" bias. I've owned both trucks and I currently own a senton and they are not that hard to drive. I live in Canada and I currently have a snow covered rc wonderland and I hit less curbs than you did in this video with your senton lol. Yes you have to drive it but to me that is what rcing is about, not having a computerized system keeping it straight for you (unless its 2wd lol). Keep the videos coming, we all enjoy them. Just remember, you can't bs a bs'er lol
I put the slash tires on my senton huge difference i got the DuraTrax DTXC3596 12mm Aluminum Wheel Hub Adapter as the arrma 12mm adapters are trash they broke when I tightened the wheel nuts the duratrax ones are awesome
To fix the Arrma's stability issue you need to do two things besides mess with the stability management, replace the servo with a digital one, and ditch the controller. I know you have better transmitters, use one of them as the one the Arrma comes with is complete and utter garbage, just read the forums, use the FlySky that you use for your Mini Z's, it's what I use with mine, as well as my Traxxas Slash Ultimate and it's brilliant. For the servo, try a JX Ecoboost CLS6336HV 36KG, they're only 30 bucks on Bangood and THEY ARE AWESOME, so much that I've replaced all of my 1:10 trucks with one..
They have 12mm hexes for the senton 3s. That's all you really need. If you do get it though, I'd recommend using Loctite on the threads because you can't get as many threads through the nut.
nice reveiw mark i personaly have the redcat sc10 pro upgraded and i was having the same issues till i put a stabilizer in mine and boy what a difference. thanks for the good video see you in the next one.
I just checked, and as I thought the Slash has a longer wheelbase, over 1 inch longer. I think that might be really helping you keep the front end down with the Slash while doing your speed runs. Also that extra 5 mph didn't seem to help either, Senton kept wanting to wheelie around 45mph.
@@Enduroger Ok, so I just checked again and you're right, the wheelbase is actually the same. However, the Slash overall is about 10mm longer. I guess I saw the length. The funny thing is, the diagram Traxxas shows is actually wrong, it says 568mm/23.36in but it's actually 22.36in, not quite half an inch longer than the Senton. That does still put more weight further in front of the rear axle though which accomplishes the same goal of keeping the front end on the ground. Very interesting.
Nice speed. I don't like the radar gun because it only catching on coming speed but you're still accelerating when you pass the radar gun. Both cars are 50+ and the lower end Arrma's do not come with a AVC receiver. Made a huge difference in my Typhon 6S before they updated it.
I have a slash 2wd vxl and I run stock wheels with paddles as well as some 2.8 wheels and tires. I worn out my stock spur gear. Can you recommend me with a spur gear and pinion that will work good for me using bigger wheels and not wear the teeth down like the stock plastic one?
I have the senton 3s bxl and I changed to the 12 mm hex and put the Traxxas tires on mine and a hell of a lot better but I might have to try the tsm in the truck as well thanks Mark
You should do another comparison but throw the sct410 in the mix and see how it compares to these rtr “basher” cars. I’ve have a couple of Tekno and have been going between the slash and the sct410.
my arrma granite blx started pulling left on heavy throttle like would wash out.the input gear on the rear diff stripped out and after replacing the input gear it was back going straight under full throttle.
You should have got one of the Spektrum receivers with AVC I use this on my SBR clone the SDT, I also have the TRAXXAS UDR with the TSM and the AVC is more adjustable if you use a transmitter with three channels or more.
I’m looking for my next RC truck and I’ve been looking at the Arrma granite brushless but I noticed the traxxas is like 4 pounds heavier. So that made me wonder if it’s more heavy duty and has better quality parts
@@Rek_Rc for sure. I’ve learned a lot over the past year. The 3S series cars generally hold up pretty well especially with the high end class like Traxxas and Arrma. I’m learning for the best in endurance and structurally is to go with 6S vehicles running on a 4S battery. You get good speed good performance but not that extra push that ends with them busted. Especially if it’s your car that someone else is running
@@jimmyv1753 yep, I generally nerf all my rc cars when I let someone inexperienced drive them, either with power settings or dropping to a battery with less cells. I don't mind letting people drive them at all because I love promoting the hobby, but I for sure nerf them first lol.
i put some decent shocks and a GT5 flysky wth TSM like feature, and my senton runs really well. Its a very good video though comparing both on stock..cheers!
LOL I just got a used senton and I have a tsm trx receiver in a much slower rc than it should be in. I know what I am doing when the senton arrives. Thank you.
I have Traxxas and I have Arrma. In the 10th scale line the Arrma is just built better. Comes with bearings instead of bushings. Just a stouter built car. I break something on my Traxxas every time I go out and rarely if at break anything on my Arrma cars
I own both and prefer the senton. On the track the senton just has more instant power and while the Traxxas is definitely easier to control, an experienced driver will most likely prefer the arrma as well.
I have a senton and just converted my sons slash to the LCG chasis. The senton on 3s is insane. The slash on 3s is also but not as fast. The chassis feels more stable. The slash on 2s feels racey while the senton on 2s feels like a bum.
senton just needs a half a turn or so on the turn buckles to toe-in the wheels. pretty simple logic. they seems set way to toe-out from the factory. all it is. oh and the Arma is much more powerful as well so that's a factor.
Absolutely, you get what you pay for and I can tell you from experience that Arrma will cost you more right from the get go after a few runs. You will be replacing there cheap servos, Esc and drive shafts.
Do you know what the problem is if a traxxas 3s vxl cuts out. After I plugged in the battery and turned it on like normal then put the body on my rally car. It cuts out and I have no throttle and steering. We put the 3s vxl system in my traxxas rally car. It ran for 30 min the. I grabbed some cones and I pulled the trigger then nothing happened. ( yes the remote was on) I am using a Lectron pro 50c 5200 mah 3s. My dad bought the traxxas packs but they did not work with my onyx 245 charger so he got these. Please tell me if this is a normal problem. Or is it the battery.
As far as I know this is not a normal issue. If throttle and steering aren’t working then It could be a bad battery or the receiver could have something wrong with it. If you can figure out a way to get the traxxas pack to get a little bit of charge and see if it does the same thing. If it does do the same thing it’s probably the receiver and if it doesn’t it’s the battery.
@@byzone0632 I am not running a traxxas pack because my charger won’t balance one because it is a onyx brand but I think it is the battery because the receiver is fine. Thank you
I love the senton it an amazing car. The senton handles way better with a little bigger tires, the wider the better I've found out. The granite tires are perfect.

I enjoy the senton wheelies and uncontrollable power it’s exciting to drive
I agree, i have the granite and my friend has a big rock, i enjoy the granite way more because its more fun and less easy to control.
Dude my Big Rock is all over the place. Steering is really twitchy! I’m thinking it’s the ties. I already replaced the servo.
Nah man that gets annoying especially when it gets so bad it crashes and brakes
BLX power is the best
How u make it ride a wheelie

Same bro was gonna get a slash but they were out of stock so we tried the closest thing to it glad they were out of stock!
Personally I think the opposite, I love my Slash because it’s planted and for what I use it for I need it to be stable
Thanks for that video. I dont run my Senton on the road much, but definitely nice to know this fix.

Once you install the traxxis TSM receiver in the arrma truck youre using the transmitter from the traxxis truck to drive the arrma truck?

@@maxwellmoores7487 the senton did get 50 in the video
What happened to the Senton 6s? Is going to BE a new exb version or is dead?
Well yes with more powerful cars you’ve got a feather into the throttle on a speed run so it doesn’t spin out of control. ARRMA POWER!!
You need to do Traxxas slash vs tekno sct410. Whatever the new version is. Hell let's give Traxxas a handicap and do the first gen sct410 lol
You can pickup a cheap dumborc tx and gimble rx and you good to go with better radio range.

my arrma granite blx started pulling left on heavy throttle like would wash out.the input gear on the rear diff stripped out and after replacing the input gear it was back going straight under full throttle.
You should have got one of the Spektrum receivers with AVC I use this on my SBR clone the SDT, I also have the TRAXXAS UDR with the TSM and the AVC is more adjustable if you use a transmitter with three channels or more.
Are the diffs on the Senton tight? When you turned hard you can hear the tire chatter.
The Spectrum receiver in the Senton probably isn't equipped with AVC. If it had that, it would drive more stabily.
I wander if the TSM lowered the top speed on the Senton any.
Hello Mark, I want to know why we haven't seen I know prep drag car on your channel?
Did you enjoy the seventy degree temperature swing in three days..? Haha, that's pretty crazy, even for us Wisconsinites.
Hi Mark, do you by chance have a link for the tsm you used. I picked up a senton a couple weeks ago and would love to add this to the truck
You can order a $30 dumborc on Amazon. His setup is a bit pricey I believe. You'll accomplish the same thing for what you're wanting.
I’m looking for my next RC truck and I’ve been looking at the Arrma granite brushless but I noticed the traxxas is like 4 pounds heavier. So that made me wonder if it’s more heavy duty and has better quality parts

I went with hobby wing motor 3200 kv same esc metal spur gear granite tires so bowlegg but wide tires she is running
What's the green an blue one in the truck?
Mark do you have a arma Mojave? Just wondering.
Could you make a video of how to install the TSM on a sentó V3 3s If there is one could you send me the link please!
I got some stock rustler 4x4 vxl shocks for cheap come full with new oil not bent 1 or 2 uses on them just don’t need them I upgraded
LOL I just got a used senton and I have a tsm trx receiver in a much slower rc than it should be in. I know what I am doing when the senton arrives. Thank you.
ok need to compare to Tekno SCR410.3
and the new Team Associated Pro4 SC10
theSC10 is $319... RTR
sct410 $369. for kit so... $800ish built?
Is the tsm off on traxxas? When u did the stability test
Cool demo of TSM.
How do you keep the wheels down? I have an arrma Senton.
I have Traxxas and I have Arrma. In the 10th scale line the Arrma is just built better. Comes with bearings instead of bushings. Just a stouter built car. I break something on my Traxxas every time I go out and rarely if at break anything on my Arrma cars
I own both and prefer the senton. On the track the senton just has more instant power and while the Traxxas is definitely easier to control, an experienced driver will most likely prefer the arrma as well.
The arrma Senton is a beast I have one and it’s just too much fun!
I have a senton and just converted my sons slash to the LCG chasis. The senton on 3s is insane. The slash on 3s is also but not as fast. The chassis feels more stable. The slash on 2s feels racey while the senton on 2s feels like a bum.
if i have a tekno sct would it be a good idea to own one of those?
Yo it’s me the guy with the arma met you at gabe Nesbit skate park I did the back flip with the 4s
Do both these cars have slipper clutches? I hear slipper clutches are a pain in the ass after they get old
Mark where do you buy the tsm
senton just needs a half a turn or so on the turn buckles to toe-in the wheels. pretty simple logic. they seems set way to toe-out from the factory. all it is. oh and the Arma is much more powerful as well so that's a factor.
Hi I have a question those TSM can work any cars thanks
Just saying if you turn the tsm the slash does the same as the senton. Or at least mine does
Looking to buy one of these. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the extra $100 for the Traxxas. Worth it?
Absolutely, you get what you pay for and I can tell you from experience that Arrma will cost you more right from the get go after a few runs. You will be replacing there cheap servos, Esc and drive shafts.
Do you know what the problem is if a traxxas 3s vxl cuts out. After I plugged in the battery and turned it on like normal then put the body on my rally car. It cuts out and I have no throttle and steering. We put the 3s vxl system in my traxxas rally car. It ran for 30 min the. I grabbed some cones and I pulled the trigger then nothing happened. ( yes the remote was on) I am using a Lectron pro 50c 5200 mah 3s. My dad bought the traxxas packs but they did not work with my onyx 245 charger so he got these. Please tell me if this is a normal problem. Or is it the battery.
As far as I know this is not a normal issue. If throttle and steering aren’t working then It could be a bad battery or the receiver could have something wrong with it. If you can figure out a way to get the traxxas pack to get a little bit of charge and see if it does the same thing. If it does do the same thing it’s probably the receiver and if it doesn’t it’s the battery.
@@byzone0632 I am not running a traxxas pack because my charger won’t balance one because it is a onyx brand but I think it is the battery because the receiver is fine. Thank you
