I've watched a lot of positive reviews with so many negative comments. I love this idea for a user friendly upgradable platform. I haven't been in the hobby for 20yrs and this is awesome for me and others that want to get back into the hobby and don't have much money.
I built the 2WD Slash and installed the low CG chassis upgrade kit during the build. A little pricey, but much improved handling. This Senton with the mid motor and coming stock with a lower CG chassis achieves similar handling as my upgraded Slash and for less $$$. I am running the stock Traxxas brushed motor/sec and it does look a little faster than this Senton. With the mid motor position on the Senton, it might put the power down in 2WD on a brushless upgrade better than the rear motor configured Slash. Thanks for the running footage.
Got the same one lots of fun, also picked up the voltage 2wheel drive.great fun!!!
Can you race an ARRMA? Sure. Should you? Eh, if it's what you have and you're not concerned about being competitive, go for it. With enough work you can make these cars handle well, same with Traxxas, but it's a lot more effort than getting a purpose-built race car and it generally works better on looser, rougher tracks (in general. I know the Senton's better on high-bite than a Slash, but the thing is that loose dirt is a "great equalizer" of sorts while sealed clay and _especially_ carpet tend to favor overspecialized designs).
Exception being the TLR Tuned Typhon, one of those won Sportsman E-Buggy at JConcepts Beast of the East Triple Crown.
Mid motor is the way to go in racing. Only old platforms still have rear motor. Looks like it ran pretty good. And that's even with those knobby off-road tires. Throw some tires more suited for that surface on there and that'd be a big help. I'd be curious to see what this looks like (for racing) with the following changes. Brushless setup, correct tires, vented body. You probably really could have a solid racing 2WD SCT.
Well i mean, the slash still has a rear motor set-up, but thats only because they are too lazy to update it.
throw one strip of electrical tape all the way around the outside of the front tires, take out rear puck on shocks take front puck move to rear and put one wishbone on each front shock she eat those corners free upgrades and shes a different monster.
The main issue with the layout of the Senton 4x2 is the orientation of the motor. Mid motor is definitely better for racing in most environments but a longitudinal motor in a 2WD car can cause stability issues due to torque steer. You want it to be mounted transverse like on a racing kit.
Do you have Problems with the motor burning up on that model
still need more power, but the Senton 2wd defend himself really well, that for is a surprise actually is doing well
I'm new to RC can someone link me to a video explaining the gearing upgrades he did and/or how to do it.
Hello from southeast alaska I hope your day is going well bro
I might try this with my TT02B
I want to make my 4x4 2wd now.
After watching this, I’m back in the middle between this and the Slash 2WD. I want a brushed SCT to run on a clay track, and this looks like it does much better on the grippy surface versus loose. I really like the looks of this truck and the feel of the suspension over the Slash on the counter top.
If it's a high grip clay track I would choose the Senton.
@@RazorRC It’s an oiled clay track but my brushed Bandit sticks to it well on stock tires.
Cool RC and great run on the track
Haha love it! That truck looks like a fish outta water in that track but like you said it does perform pretty well. I like how it wants to roll back onto its wheels. Btw you make that look easy! Thanks man!
Cool car and track. 🇩🇰
Haha loved it and wasn't to disappointing either lol
So this is a 4x4 semton without the front diff and driveshaft? Looks 👍
yes, pretty much. the brushed version.
My only problem is stock 17mm hex
Ok I'm in I want one ...
Same lol
It doesn’t look as smooth as when you use a race buggy on this track, but still some nice driving for a stock basher truck 👍
Yes it was a good video but a bit slow I think 🤔
Hi Razor. Would you recommend the 4x4 brushless Senton as the best RTR option for SCT racing?
Not Razor, but I can give my two cents.
No, or more specifically not if you buying it specifically to race. If you already have one it'll do decently well with some setup work, but if you're buying a new RTR for racing I'd recommend a Losi TENACITY, an Associated Pro4 SC10, a HoBao Hyper 10SC or, heck, even a Traxxas Slash 4x4 Ultimate over the Senton 4x4 3S. In fact, if your track doesn't care about battery voltage or tires you can even get a Serpent SRX8-E buggy RTR and the body posts for the SRX8-E GT Touring Car and stick an SCT body on it.
@@VestedUTuber thank you, this is very helpful
You can race anything. People race slashes all the time at.my track. They don't win except the novice class but that's a destruction derby class any ways lol
why are the wheels Different? it looks like it has the wheels on the front that should go on the rear?
Same wheels front and rear
What a lovely truck mate where this too in UK or USA let me know 😀😊
norcal hobbies is in San Jose, California
In Europe soon the electric will be so expensive the e word users won't be able to afford to charge their RC car and have to convert to the nitrogang
Lol they already cut ur nitro fuel though
Well running by yourself really doesent show much. Running in a race will show its real face. Yes it ran nice but with out traffic you just get in a rithum.
you are wrong. the chance of someone being a noob at driving vs him. What would that prove or show? sry dont see your logic
Kinda slow...I like the truck though.
Yeah but much cheaper than the 4x4 brushless version so i go with this
