Yeah the Typhon is my fav out of the bunch, I do have fun running all them though and since I transformed the Senton into the “Monster Senton” I’ve started to like that one more than I did in the beginning, thanks for watching brother 👍🤙
Thanks glad you liked it, that was probably one of my most time consuming videos I’ve done so far lol but I think it was worth it, thanks again for watching 👍
Yeah the big rock definitely needs better tires out of the box, the stock tires are narrow and balloon out like saucers, kind of nullifying the wider stance and longer chassis as it traction rolls quite a bit with those tires, other than that one flaw, it’s a beast!🤙
That’s kewl watching video then reading the comments everyone has there own personal I thought everyone would pick the same one I chose but nope we all have our own flavah lol awesome video tho man an ima have to go with the big rock thing looks so dam clean from jumping to shredding through the grass can’t wait to have it being controlled by me doing some tricks I have never owned a basher RC just crawlers.
Yeah everyone has their own opinions, honestly though, they are all great Rc’s in their own way, just depends on what you wanna do, are you looking for speed or a good basher, good handling or a tank, you know it just depends, the big rock is a excellent choice, good basher, it’s fast and most importantly, it’s a tank! I think I’ve broke just a few parts since I’ve had it and it’s taken a lot of abuse!! You will have fun with it! No doubt!
Got myself a Typhon 6s TLR, with Proline Badlands 2.8s and several other mods. I advise a bumper and skidplates, and decent cooling fan as minimal protection, coz it Fkn Flies!!!
Great review on the Arrma 3s line. I have a Typon 3s and a Granite 2s and I just love how cool looking the Granite is. I just wish I would have went with the 3s Granite. The Typon is so dam fast it's scary. Even with the front end espoused mine has held up quite well considering I run it into everything. I really enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing. Awesome stuff 💯
Yeah the Arrma 3s line is really something, similar in some ways but diverse enough between each Rc that you get a different experience and handling with each one, the Typhon is still my favorite! The Granite is a beast too! Especially on the ramp! Glad you enjoyed the video and I appreciate you taking the time to watch it🤙
I have a Senton and BRCC and both are bullet proof. It amazes me how much of a beating they can take. I wouldn't hesitate to buy them again. Even though the Senton doesn't do back flips out of the box, I like the way it does jump. I love the look of the BRCC. The main issues I've had with the two are the tyres. The Senton tyres are soft and wear out really fast if used on sealed surfaces. The BRCC tyres make the truck handle really bad (as you mentioned). I replaced them with the Badland MX28 2.8" wheels which made a world of difference. More stable and loads of traction. thanks for the vid and your thoughts.
Much appreciated, glad you liked the video, the big rock, other than the stock tires, is a beast! I’m thinking I’m gonna throw some granite tires on it to test it out and see if that helps with the traction rolling, the Senton although it’s not my favorite has a spot in my collection and I do drive it, I was able to squeeze some backflips out with it in the video stock but it wasn’t easy and not landing it just right proved disastrous! I punched a hole in the rear of the body the size of a quarter because it caught wind and landed upside down, however I think with a little tweaking I can get it to run just right, it is faster than my slash ultimate stock surprisingly enough! Check that video out when you get a chance, that kinda caught me off guard lol but at the end of the day all of these vehicles are Arrma tough! I’ve put them through hell on the ramp, I’m not the type to purposely try to break my Rc’s, I take care of them, but with ramp jumps and heavy bashing they have all impressed and at the price point it’s a hellava deal, thanks for watching👍
@@DTWC you will need to change the hex to suit the wheel hex if you get differentsl size wheels. If you get the same wheels, no need to change the hex or hub.
Bro you bought them all😂 ❤it . Thanks. Went out and bought the Vorteks brushless in blue/green😊. -think i will be getting the Big Rock this weekend. Thanks again, will be installing the wheels from the Granite.
Nice, the Vorteks is a beast! Really gives the rustler some competition for sure, I have since this video added two more to the Arrma 3s fleet! The Vendetta and the Infraction, so there are actually 7 in the 3s line now 😁 I think I have an addiction lol, thanks for watching! And enjoy that Vorteks, it’s a fun truck🤙
@rcreviews9894 thanks for the reply. Wow 7 3s arrma. So you know I have the vorteks. I have a custom baja rey and a 6s all metal mojave. Having said that if I was to stay in the 3s arema lineup what model is next for me.. bigrock, typhoon or maybe jump to the 4s kraton? Thanks for any suggestions, ANY😁
@@surfside75 that’s a tough one, if you were to get another 3s Arrma, definitely get the Typhon, it does it all, on road, off road, handles well off the ramp, just a well rounded Rc, durable too, which is pretty impressive considering it’s a buggy, I own both the 4s Outcast and Kraton, both are animals! You can’t go wrong with either one
Your backyard is HUGE! Ever thought of building an rc car race track back there? Plenty of space would still be left for whatever else, BBQ's, kids, picnic, sports.
Yeah I thought of that a long time ago but the wifey ain’t having it lol besides we are planning to move soon so buyers may not like a dirt track in the back yard but trust me I have thought about it, I want at least 5 acres on the next property I buy and there will be a track there for sure 👍
@@rcreviews9894 Haha, I see. Surprised about your wife though. Even if you took up only 1/3 of that space on the far end, it would be like it didn't even exist. Definitely understand about new buyers. Haha, that would be pretty funny to see buyer reactions to seeing an rc track in the back of a house.
Vent your Senton body wont parachute. I put the wider BRCC/Typhon arms on mine. Got a few sets of tires. It fun on this setup. I agree it’s takes a personal touch, but it’s a beast. PS wider body helps absorb impacts👍🏾
Thanks, appreciate the advice, it is a beast, honestly all of them are, as you may have seen in the video I was able to squeeze out a few back flips with the Senton, it just took a lot of effort on my part and real heavy on the throttle, I think with better tires, it may give it more torque to hit those wheelies and backflips easier, I may cut some slits in the front and back of the body to get that air flow too 👍 thanks for watching!
I do speed tests with the senton tires on the big rock and vise versa. That way I know the senton is the fast one and the big rock and granite are better for arial tricks. Screw that short course body in the yang. With some modding the senton has become my favorite to the point I got rid of the others.
Great trucks all of them. I started with 2 big rocks . I have to buy in set's me and my son. Like the wider stance will be going 4 s. Soon. But looking for another basher soon . To bring our collection to 3 a piece .
I have the 3s Typhon and the 6s Typhon. They are completely different animals. The 3s jumps better and is lighter... and sometimes more fun to bash. But if you want violence, the 6s Typhon running on 6s is an insane beast of a car with almost too much power and tons of speed. You will not regret having both. Or either.
Work of advice with the 6S. Get a bash bar. You will not be happy when you have to fix the curve on the front of the chassis from a bad crash or from repeated ramp landings.
i want to ask a question so if i buy the Typhon 3s can i later buy a 130 Amp esc in the future and put one 4s battery and run it or i have to change the motor also or it will handle it? i saw a dude on youtube puting a 120 esc on senton 3s blx with everything stock and its becomes a beast but i like the buggy more and arent the senton and typhon same cars diferent bodies?
Hey great stuff. Really good to hear your opinions of all the cars. I agree with everything you are saying I think. I'd put the Senton at the bottom too. It is great and I like driving it but it is less good at various things than the others. What I've done with mine is to make it more of a cornering machine rather than trying to make it jump well. I've just shortened the shocks slightly and put thicker oil in and it blasts around corners on the grass really well. The inner fender set does help a bit with the air getting under it. I'm not bothered about the jumps with that one so much because I've got the others to do that. If I was only allowed to have one of them it would be the Granite and if I was allowed 2 then I'd also have the Typhon. I did damage my shocks a couple of times on the Typhon and I think it's because of the lack of a front bumper. To that end I have ordered a Senton bumper for it. It's really good that you can interchange parts and make hybrid versions. I decided not to get the Vorteks at the mo but if I didn't already have all the others then I might have done. I am planning to do some sort of comparison video but I've done nothing towards it just yet. Anyway, nice work on this :-)
Thanks, I really appreciate it, this was probably the most time consuming video I’ve ever made lol, running five different Rc’s, making videos for each one, editing all of them and then combining them with the main at the table review, I enjoyed it though and had a good time making it, after really taking the time to really think about it, I think the Typhon is my favorite out of all of them, believe me it wasn’t easy because I really like the granite too! By the way what did you think about that double back flip! lol, the granite is a beast! The Senton is a good truck, it’s just lacking in some areas, I may play around with the shocks like you did and do some other modifications to get it running just right, I do have another Vorteks video coming here in a day or so, its already been made I have it scheduled to release soon, I’ve heard that there may be some issues with it, so I did a durability test just to see for myself hope to see you there for that one , I’m also planning some Traxxas vs Arrma videos, and I think it may be time to move up to Arrmas 6s line ! I’m having so much fun with these, my first 6s will definitely be the Typhon! Again thanks for watching! 👍
@@rcreviews9894 Yes I'd imagined that it was quite a task to get all 5 of these talked about in the video with relevant clips of them too. I did notice your double back flip. Very cool. I have done it a few times but not sure if I ever landed them cleanly. I was impressed with getting a backflip out of the Senton because I've not done that or even tried. Getting it to land on its wheels is enough for me! I'm not going to venture into the 6s cars as these 3s ones are perfect for me really. I'd probably go for one of the EXB ones where they have hopped up the strength of it and you can put in the electronics of your choice. Don't think they have done an EXB Typhon though. I guess you can just run it and find out what breaks! Good luck :-)
@@PeteWylieRC yeah it’s definitely a risk trying to backflip the Senton it doesn’t have enough torque to land them every time not landing one is really risky too which I learned the hard way, lol punched a quarter size hole through the back of the body when I landed upside down with it, so I won’t be doing that again any time soon! I think the only 6s I really want is the typhon so I might just get that one
@rcreviews9894 I've had the Typhon & Granite a year now, and love both for different reasons. Typhon is my favourite for its superb handling though - turns on a dime literally and accelerates like lightning 🌩 I've come back to watch the video again because I want the Big Rock or Vorteks now...
I am having issue after issue on my Voreks. First all the wheels came off cuz no lock tight on the hubs. Now after 3 batteries i have no steering and throttle issues. I HOPE my servo is the issue but it seems worse than that. Light driving on the road no bashing. I can’t believe it.
Man I’m sorry to hear that, must have been a new guy in manufacturing that day, or maybe you just got a bad one, I haven’t had any issues and I’ve been bashing the hell out of mine, I’m surprised mine still works, have you contacted Arrmas warranty dept or HH? I’m sure they will replace anything that’s wrong with it
Thanks for letting me know about this video. So i am leaning towards the granite. I personally like the scale look of the senton but i have seen the issues associated with sct cars. I never even considered the typhon because it always looked fragile to me. More road focused. Thanks for this video man very helpful.
The Typhon is tougher than it looks and really good off-road, the granite is definitely a beast, I have unboxing’s and maiden runs of each vehicle too if your interested, feel free to browse the channel and thanks again for watching 👍
@@kingdeadshoot6019 the dont jump as well the body get a bunch of air under it and since the tires are under the body they kick up a bunch of stuff into the body compartment.
Wich one would you recommend? Id do light bashing and I already have an rustler 4x4 vxl, I love how the granite looks. And is one stronger than an other?
The granite is an all around good basher, really good on the ramp, they are all pretty fast out of the box, you really can’t go wrong with the granite, I say go with the granite 👍
Yeah, you know you gave me an idea for another video lol, honestly people ask me all the time about how the chassis’s compare and how they are similar in setup, especially now that we picked up the new Infraction and the Vendetta, I seriously may do a video on that now, thanks for the feedback and the watch👍🤙
I have owned my typhon 3s for a few months now, I have never broken anything on my typhon except when I slammed into a brick wall going 50 miles an hour. Super shocking, I only broke a steering knuckle doing that. Srongly recommend the typhon to anyone. Arrma tough.
Your 50mph per hours straight into a brink wall and didn't break anything but a knuckle . More like 20mph hard on the brakes into the wall from going 40mph.
If you are talking about which one is the best between these Rc’s in this video, I would have to say my favorite is the Typhon, the Granite between the monster trucks and the Senton being my least favorite
I have all of these except the vorteks (mostly because i think the price increase is ridiculous just for a better remote), and the senton is by far the slowest. Even with the body vented on punch 5 its much slower than any other 3s arrma on a track. Im considering putting a 3800kv motor in it to see if its much faster. Still fun though and controls good on the track. The Typhon is my favorite 3s arrma for the track, i can keep up with nitro cars and 4s truggies with it its so fast and smooth to drive. I might put a 4s esc and motor in it later for a bit more power though. The big rock is awesome for both the track and for bashing, but its much harder to control on jumps on a track. The stock tires on the big rock are trash though like you said, I immediately took them off. The granite i have is modified with a 3800kv motor and a castle ESC, and that thing is a front/back flipping and bashing king. Not useful on the track at all though. Each car has major strengths and weaknesses but its very fun to have all of them for the variety of what i can drive depending on the mood.
The Vorteks is definitely worth it IMO, it does have a better radio, and is module capable, however just like the Traxxas app, it’s probably not accurate, it’s fast as hell too, on the maiden run we got 53 mph as our top speed if I remember correctly, not bad stock! It completely destroyed the rustler 4x4 vxl, check that video out if you haven’t already, the big rock is a beast! Other than the stock tires, it’s a tank! My favorite out of the 3s line is the typhon! It handles really good on road, off-road and definitely on the ramp! I like it so much, I’m getting the 6s version! Thanks for watching👍
@@timsgta 46 is really not that slow stock, if you haven’t already check out my run with the Senton vs. the Slash, I think we got it to go a little faster in that video, the main thing holding me back from getting it to go faster is the body, it catches wind real easily and wrecks out, also it definitely needs better tires, I’ve seen other videos where they use the granite tires, I might give that a try
@Vape N Clash last time I checked, it's about 50 bucks more than the other 3s arrma cars. Not 20. Same price as that ripoff 3s street car they made on the same platform. Charged way more for the same car with different tires and body. The vorteks tires are dinky, that would be the first thing I would change if I got one. None of my arrmas have the stock tires. The Dboots tires they come with are garbage compared to anything pro-line makes.
Well you definitely can’t go wrong with the Typhon, it’s actually my favorite one, it’s also an excellent choice given the fact that it has the best of both worlds, it performs really well off-road and on the ramp and it’s also a good street car, just throw on some street tires and let it rip, by the way, I just dropped another video talking about each Rc in my collection!! Over 25 Rc’s ! Check it out when you get a chance and thanks for watching 🤙
Bigger proline tires and bigger ramp lol mine does double backs at 60ft jumps pretty damn fun but I'm trying to break mine thats y I love this hobby send it!!
I don’t jump mine quite as high but since this video I’ve actually started building 45 degree angle ramps that I use to jump em in the back yard, more like 20 -25 feet for me I’m hitting doubles and triples too, kinda hard to break em, their tanks! 🤙
I have the big rock it's great all round, only complaint i have is the tires balloon a lot and it flips pretty easily if i turn too hard on grass, i'm going to get some better tires and thicker shock oil, should help it out a lot.
I have the typhon big rock and senton. They all are good. Soon as you put the shims on the differential you will not strip input gears. Typhon wing is broken up. I put the granite fortress tires on my big rock
@@TheflyingkiwiRC yeah I’ve seen people do this, I haven’t tried it yet but I plan to, I think with the granite tires on the big rock it will keep it from traction rolling so much
@@rcreviews9894 ive found my Big Rock doesnt traction roll nearly as much now that Im using RPMs on the "lower setting" and have also wound the springs (Typhon 6s shocks) to make the front end lower than the back and sit flatter
@@patmarcus172 yeah I’m gonna throw on some granite tires and maybe play around with the shocks, honestly though it’s not that big of a deal for me, the wheelies and back flips make up for it lol 👍
Well I don’t know anything about hobao but as far as the big rock and granite goes, that’s a tough one, both do wheelies on command, both are excellent on the ramp with the granite having the slight edge because of its shorter chassis allowing for easier back flips and other stunts, the big rock is a tank that’s also great on the ramp and off-road, the only weakness with the BigRock are those narrow stock tires, I don’t like them, other than that, it’s a tough decision because I really like them both, I guess it comes down to preference, they are both beasts
Thanks, your number 400! 👍 if I were you I would definitely get the typhon next! I like the 3s version so much I’m getting the 6s, thanks for the sub and thanks for watching
Get a typhon, you wont regret it. I have all of these except the vorteks. The typhon is the fastest 3s arrma on a track and it handles jumps like a dream. I wish i had bought the typhon first.
Honestly you can’t go wrong with either one, both trucks have a lot of power and wheelie on command, the big rock is wider and has a longer chassis, where as the granite has a shorter chassis and bigger beefier tires, both perform well on the ramp but because the granite has the shorter chassis, it’s gonna be easier to get double or triple backflips depending on ramp height, seriously though, you will get hooked with either one, hope this helps👍
@@rcreviews9894 wondering why people say the arrma big rock is such a good deal when it doesn't come with batteries and chargers at the end of the day I could get a traxxas hoss or something similar at almost the same price point as buying the big rock and the batteries/charger
Well I guess it depends on what you wanna do, the Vorteks is a stadium truck and will be slightly faster stock with better handling on the street and high speed straight aways, the BigRock is a monster truck, perfect for that hardcore basher, wheelies on command and back flips for days off the ramp, so it really depends on what you wanna do and what type of kit you want, Monster truck or stadium truck?
To be honest I’m just trying to get a great medium in rc car to just drive around and have a little fun no lie I’m just getting into the hobby since I got my son a okay rc for Xmas and it’s been fun now I want me a great one that I don’t have to do much to it since I’m just getting into it. But if there is a fast great rc car that you recommend it can be any thing just seeing if you could lead me in the right direction I just bought a hyper go H14bm but I have not got yet but I want one more lol just want one more all around RC truck that’s kinda fast and good since I been watching all kinds of videos just can’t pick and I don’t want to go wrong
Good video but I have one complaint the music is too loud when you are just showing the vehicle and not talking. That being said the information was great. 👍
I agree with this too. Also felt like the broll was a little bit too long on each car. Might just be me because I’ve seen dozens of videos on them already. Loved the vid though. Thanks for posting
I put big rock tires on my senton and it wheelies and flips on command, wish I put granite tires tho after seeing this, thought they were the same size.
That’s a hard question lol, they are all really good with the Senton being my least favorite but it is still a good truck, it really depends on what you wanna do, for hardcore bashing I would go with the Granite or the BigRock, for on road and off road and far launches on the ramp I would go with the Typhon, for the best of both worlds( on road/ off-road and good ramp jumps) I would go with the Vorteks, the Vorteks is also the fastest stock! We got 53 mph on the speed run, the Senton is good too but your gonna need some better tires right out of the gate, hopefully that gave you a little to work with and think about, also I have Maiden runs and Unboxing’s of each vehicle here on the channel so check that out for more info
I really wanted a typhon 3s.. but thanks to covid I could only find a mega... I have run it for about 4 months and abused the hell out of it in skate parks and bmx tracks and amazingly not broken anything.... I just bought the motor, esc and drive train to make it 3s... waiting sucks.. especially parts coming from America..
Yeah, everything is more expensive and hard to get nowadays, I’m not a very patient person lol, I hate waiting for things to come in too, especially when there are shortages, there was a heli I wanted and it immediately went out of stock as soon as it came out, it got pushed back for months, then they had some come in and before I got the chance to order it, it went back on back order, lol it’s not coming out again until next year some time! So trust me, I feel your pain
Appreciate it, I put a lot of work into this video, I had to shoot and edit the main video and then record 5 different run videos for each Rc, edit those and then incorporate them into the right spots in the main video, what did you think about that granite double back flip? Pretty awesome right! I need a bigger ramp lol, a buddy of mine is supposed to make me one with a 45 degree angle so we can really launch em!
@@thischildishlifestyle I bought these not thinking much about it but to be honest these trucks are awesome! It may be time to explore the 6s line now and the first one I’m gonna get is gonna be that Typhon! I’m really liking the typhon 3s after really thinking about it, the typhon is my favorite out of all of them
Aww man I knew I would forget something! Lol that’s a good question I should have shown each chassis is this overview sorry about that, it depends, is it a v3 Senton chassis and not an older model? If it’s the newest Senton, then yes they are all pretty much the same, same electronic layout with minor differences, the Senton chassis has the side body guards that you can grab like a handle on each side and doesn’t have the full surrounding tub, it just has the debris guards towards the front of the vehicle, as far as durability, yes they are all pretty tough, if you want more of a visual, check out my unboxing, here on the channel
@@theunit5939 I’ve never done it but I don’t see why not, that’s the only weakness of the big rock is the stock tires, they are too narrow to begin with and when your running it hard the tires turn into saucers becoming even thinner leading too excessive traction rolling and instability into turns which defeats the whole purpose of a wider suspension.
Well to be honest I think a wood ramp would be a lot better than what I have, I have a buddy that’s supposed to make one for me, the fresh park is nice buts it’s really heavy and doesn’t have the angle I want, the black discount ramp is good but hard to find online nowadays, really though it doesn’t matter what ramp you get there are two main important things to look for when getting a ramp, first the angle 📐 a good 45 degree angle is best! Also the surface of the ramp, to smooth and you’ll spin out!
Hey I got the senton I just like the body but the wheels are trash they blew up after 2 days but I did put 11 batteries in it just 2s not 3s but it is fun!
Yeah I’ve seen people put the granite tires on the senton and it seems to work out better, the body might also need some modifications, cause for me it catches wind like a parachute but I run mine on 3s
The advantage of 3s over 6s is, in some cases only having to buy and or charge one battery instead of two, they do have single 6s batteries but they again, in some cases not all, depending on the battery, will cost more than a single 3s, the actual Rc car or truck itself ( 6s )in most cases will cost more , since this is your first Rc, 3s is plenty of power to learn with, however you will quickly get hooked and want another with more power! That’s when you should move up to 6s, or if you got some money to spend and want to dive head first into it go for the 6s rig out of the gate, good luck 👍 and thanks for watching!
@@TruGamer128 no problem, I could ramble on for days about Rc’s lol, but the bottom line is cost and over all power between the two, now which one you should buy? Lol that’s a hard question lol
I’m glad you asked! I actually have a video planned, let’s just say I have a slash 4x4 ultimate and a Senton 4x4 3s blx, stay tuned your not gonna want to miss it!! O and we have already started the comparison videos, just uploaded the rustler 4x4 vxl vs. the new Vorteks!! Also we have the bandit vxl vs. the Arrma Typhon, keep in mind these are all stock gearing comparisons with the exception of minor changes like anacondas and a wheelie bar installed on the bandit vxl for example it’s gonna be interesting to see how the Senton and Slash compare! At the end of the day the Senton is a good truck for what it is, just needs a personal touch to get it running just right!
Thanks I'm looking forward to it. let me point out my situation I have a slash vxl 4x4 which is great on 2s but as soon as I put 3s in it I break driveshafts or something. Then I got a armma bigrock man that thing never breaks its crazy I mean stuff where's out then needs replaced but thats rc. So basically I buy really expensive driveshafts so I can enjoy 3s with slash or get a new shiny armma senton. So buy 140 dollars in driveshafts for a older beat up ugly slash just saying I've been it up or spend 320 get a whole new system that I'm pretty confident wont break on 3s.
@@Tuidkskiwjdhdbd yeah I see your point, get the Senton, it’s way more durable seriously, that is the weakness with all Traxxas trucks, the drive shafts, I’ve complained about that for years
I canceled my blade 330s and preordered the fusion 360 3s. I dont want to wait until November to get it. I'm really excited it ships this month! I thought about looking at a sab goblin havok, but I'ma be honest with myself I fly shit I cant and $500 for a 280 size heli. It just isnt my type of ball game.
When we talk about 3s and 6s, we are talking about battery power, a 3s lipo and 6s lipo ( or two 3s lipo batteries running together to give you 6s power) some Rc’s are capable of running up to 3s, while other Rc’s, sometimes larger in scale are capable of running a single 6s battery, or more commonly, two 3s batteries, this is achieved by more powerful and capable electronics as well, hopefully this helps🤙
Love my granite but damn. Once 1 thing breaks I’ve noticed EVERYTHING ELSE comes soon after. a front arm. Then a shock. Then another shock. Now a rear arm.
Yeah man, it goes that way sometimes, over time parts begin to wear out and it seems like it happens back to back or all at once, that’s how I feel about my house sometimes lol, it’s all ways something lol, I think I’ve only broke one thing on my granite, a front shock, two things on my big rock, steering block and rear turnbuckle, im not too extreme when I bash, I jump them and run them hard but you won’t see me doing 50ft jumps over my house or anything like that lol, more power to those who do, I’m just saying, I have to admit though, coming from someone who is really a Traxxas guy, there’s no way I could get away with some of the stuff I put these Arrmas through with some of my Traxxas Rc’s
@@rcreviews9894 I feel like outside of the Maxx & Revo lines everything Traxxas has for offroad is outdated. I'm a Stampede 4x4 VXL & Typhon 3s owner. The Typhon is obviously more modern, tougher & easier to work on. I only run 2s on the Stampede. Would have to upgrade so much of the drive train to properly run 3s that I would rather buy a Rival MT10. Traxxas is kinda the Apple of the RC world.
@@keijimorita1849 yeah I couldn’t agree with you more, Traxxas is probably my favorite brand besides Arrma, I too own a stampede 4x4 vxl and the stampede vxl, you can’t run a 3s with the 4x4 stampede without blowing out drive shafts, Traxxas to me is easier to work on just for the simple fact that I own so many and that was the first brand that got me started years back, Arrma is definitely tougher though!! And has come a long way since they started! Improving on everything from durability, performance and making them easier to work on than before, if your interested in the MT10 I have some videos here on the channel, along with several other Rc’s! Thanks for watching 👍
@@rcreviews9894 It's not just the driveshafts on the Stampede that blow out. The ring, pinion & internal spider gears are known to strip on 3s. Upgrading the entire drive line is about 300.
@@keijimorita1849 fortunately I haven’t had that happen to me yet, I just kept breaking driveshafts and I did strip a couple of spurs as well, I got tired of the bs and just upgraded the drive shafts to MIP cvd’s, I don’t drive it all the time but I’m sure if I did I would probably experience those issues, the Maxx, Erevo and the hoss are my go to bashers, every now and then I will bring out the Xmaxx
there are plenty of great expensive buggys out there... sometimes we are not all rich enough to purchase these buggys, they run 8s/10s and cost £1000 each... you should choose a buggy that is fast and durable for our simple pockets. the arrma senton is only 3s.. can reach 50mph, its very durable , can be bashed with cheap spares.. the Absima Assasin runs on 6s.. its very fast and with the included pinion will make 70mph.plus.... i have both these buggys.. they are excellent.. they are around £320 each... plus batteries etc... i also have a pro-boat sonic wake.. 6s £420... which will do 50mph.. its a great boat which will self right its self after our mistakes.. just my thoughts.. good luck to you.....
For me i think i need to break in my Arrma Typhon 3s before i Accelerate and stop suddenly just so it dont go so bad the next other runs ill probly put like 2 batteries through it
As a beginner who has a few of these I think the senton looks the coolset. I hate how much leaves and dirt it collects I don't bash them all that hard. I would like to try a typhon it would probably drive a lot nicer
@@overnightclassic2 I saw that! That’s a tough one, I can’t speak on the fireteam cause I don’t own it but I might at that price! That’s a really good deal! The only downside for the fireteam is that it takes two batteries or 1 6s

Great video, it was one of your best for sure 👍. I still only have a Traxxas Bandit but I am really considering getting one of these 3s arrma trucks next. With all your experience driving Arrma and Traxxas RC what would you recommend I get for my 2nd? I know Traxxas has some nice options as well which I'm also considering (just a little more $ it seems).
Thanks man, I really appreciate it, I put a lot of work into this video for sure, glad you liked it, were you able to sit through the whole thing, lol I know it was kinda long but I’m essentially giving an overview for 5 cars at once lol, so it was necessary, my first question to you is what are you looking for next? A truck, buggy, short course? I do have a lot of experience with both brands and each brand has its perks, is there any car or truck in particular that you have your eye on? Lemme know and I can give you some suggestions, thanks for watching 👍
@@rcreviews9894 I did watch the entire video and I think considering the amount of cars your reviewing the length is ok. I want a basher/off road truck next that can do jumps and flips off ramps. Durability going to need to be very good for what I want to do with it. Right now I'm looking at either the Traxxas Hoss on the higher end of the 3s or something like the Arrma Granite. I do like the vorteks as well but I'm a little worried with all the issues I've been seeing people have right out of the box with it. What do you think ?
@@d4yt3k I have the Hoss and it’s a good truck, but it’s kinda overpriced in my opinion, it’s durable but not durable enough for what you wanna do, my Hoss is actually down for the count right now, I broke the entire front right hand side steering block trying to jump it, the granite is a very good truck and is tough! I’m surprised I haven’t broke anything yet, for the price and toughness I would go with the granite all day and this is coming from a Traxxas guy, the big rock is also a good choice, but the big rock does have some issues, first it’s a traction roll king and that’s mainly due to the thin tires, your almost always guaranteed to roll over in high speed turns, and mine has started cogging a little bit lately, I think I know what’s causing it though, but it does have a lot of power and can easily back flip off ramps, your safe bet is the granite in my opinion
@@d4yt3k O and another thing, the granite 4x4 blx is 320 for the kit, you can get a smart battery, I recommend the 3s 50c 5000 mah hard pack for around 65- 70 and the smart charger I have cost 30 dollars, so at the end of the day you would still come out ahead, as far as the price of the hoss, which I believe is almost 500 dollars after taxes unless the price dropped, I think I payed 479 for mine when it first came out
@@rcreviews9894 thanks for the suggestion and I think I will go for the Granite after all. Way better price point compared to the hoss and I'm not as convinced on the others yet. Local store I deal with doesn't stock the Granite so I'll have to order direct from arrma or try another site.
I got the arrma granite after watching your video and it didn't disappoint, im very surprised at the quality for the price! I like the Big rocks looks better for sure. The big rock might perform better with the granite tires, it might make it more like my kraton 6s. Where did you get that ramp?
Cool the Granite is one of my favorites on the ramp because it’s easy to squeeze out double backflips it has so much torque and power for it’s size, there are two ramps in the video, so I’m not sure which one your asking about, the big Fresh Park I got online, Just Google Fresh Park and there are multiple sites that sell them, the little small black one I got on discount ramps . com years ago, I just recently built my own ramp, I’m not the best craftsman but it works lol, it’s 4feet wide and tall enough for my Xmaxx, it has a nice 45 degree angle on it, perfect for sending them high up and out! I will feature it in one of my upcoming videos soon 👍
Appreciate it, we have grown quite a bit and are still growing, thanks to good people like you that enjoy the hobby as much as I do, hope to see you on the next one, thanks for watching 👍
Kinda, the granite does feel different, especially on the ramp! It’s more sensitive, I can get double backs flips with the granite, it’s worth having both
@@autnant2012 lol a wise man once told me, it’s easier to get forgiveness, then it is to get permission lol, I just over spent at the Traxxas retail shop today lol
I had the vorteks. But i didn’t like how it would spin out. Traded for the granite, and it controls better but not loving it. Going to trade it for the senton soon. May not be as fast, but I think it suits me more. I have the Mojave but It’s too big/fast sometimes for my neighborhood. Senton might fill that void
The Senton is a good truck, it’s not my favorite but it’s fun to drive, it handles pretty good off-road, on the street you may get some fishtailing and sliding around, the stock tires are not that good imo, the body catches wind on high speed straight aways as well but most short course trucks are like that, I’m just curious, why don’t you like the granite?
@@rcreviews9894 Im not a big basher. I grew up with the slash and so I have always liked the combo of street and off-road. I run them hard but I don’t particularly enjoy flips and wheelies. Of which the granite does great without breaking. Ideally I’d keep all of them but I don’t want to put right but the senton when these cars have similar electronics and to me they’re pretty much the same internals
I have to say I didn’t really like the Senton too much, it just wasn’t my favorite but since I converted it to the Monster Senton I’m enjoying it a lot more👍
Decent video, but the stock big rock is not durable. Not brand bashing, but that’s flat out not true. Driveshafts, turnbuckles, and the arms are garbage.
Thanks, With my experience with the BigRock I have only broken two parts since I’ve had it, like I stated in the video, I don’t purposely try to tear my Rc’s up, I take care of them but I do bash them pretty hard and jump them off the ramp and IMO the BigRock along with the rest of the 3s line are very durable considering what I’ve put them through, like I said I don’t jump them 50 feet in the air but I do bash them pretty hard, I have several videos with the BigRock in particular were I show just how durable it is by showing some of the bad landings, crashes, nose dives, etc. recently did a video BigRock vs The Granite, check that out when you get a chance, I show crashes from both of those trucks, again everyone has there opinion and experiences, I can only speak from mine and in my experience the BigRock is tough! Thanks for watching 👍
I saw a Granite and Big Rock with front and rear lights, and looked super rad!
Good format, it totally makes sense. I appreciate your work, thanks a lot.

Great video bro, just got me a 3S typhon and I haven’t touch my Traxxas collection since! ARRMA won my heart. Love the music too! Kudos!!!
Yeah the Typhon is my fav out of the bunch, I do have fun running all them though and since I transformed the Senton into the “Monster Senton” I’ve started to like that one more than I did in the beginning, thanks for watching brother 👍🤙
Dude, that backyard is majestic. If I had a yard that size, I'd build a track and a basher / stunt area. My neighbors would hate me. 😅

Appreciate it but it’s not big enough lol I want about 5 acres at least because I fly helis and quadcopters too, thanks for watching 👍
I wish they put they granite tyres on the big rock out of the box. Awesome review bro
Yeah the big rock definitely needs better tires out of the box, the stock tires are narrow and balloon out like saucers, kind of nullifying the wider stance and longer chassis as it traction rolls quite a bit with those tires, other than that one flaw, it’s a beast!🤙
That’s kewl watching video then reading the comments everyone has there own personal I thought everyone would pick the same one I chose but nope we all have our own flavah lol awesome video tho man an ima have to go with the big rock thing looks so dam clean from jumping to shredding through the grass can’t wait to have it being controlled by me doing some tricks I have never owned a basher RC just crawlers.
Yeah everyone has their own opinions, honestly though, they are all great Rc’s in their own way, just depends on what you wanna do, are you looking for speed or a good basher, good handling or a tank, you know it just depends, the big rock is a excellent choice, good basher, it’s fast and most importantly, it’s a tank! I think I’ve broke just a few parts since I’ve had it and it’s taken a lot of abuse!! You will have fun with it! No doubt!
My favourite is now the Typhon - just superb handling , turns on a dime and acceleration like lightning
Yeah the Typhon is just a well rounded Rc, on the street, no problem, off road, check and on the ramp it’s a lawn dart! Send it!🤙
Got myself a Typhon 6s TLR, with Proline Badlands 2.8s and several other mods. I advise a bumper and skidplates, and decent cooling fan as minimal protection, coz it Fkn Flies!!!
Great review on the Arrma 3s line. I have a Typon 3s and a Granite 2s and I just love how cool looking the Granite is. I just wish I would have went with the 3s Granite. The Typon is so dam fast it's scary. Even with the front end espoused mine has held up quite well considering I run it into everything. I really enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing. Awesome stuff 💯
Yeah the Arrma 3s line is really something, similar in some ways but diverse enough between each Rc that you get a different experience and handling with each one, the Typhon is still my favorite! The Granite is a beast too! Especially on the ramp! Glad you enjoyed the video and I appreciate you taking the time to watch it🤙
@Vape N Clash nice 🤙
I have a Senton and BRCC and both are bullet proof. It amazes me how much of a beating they can take. I wouldn't hesitate to buy them again. Even though the Senton doesn't do back flips out of the box, I like the way it does jump. I love the look of the BRCC. The main issues I've had with the two are the tyres. The Senton tyres are soft and wear out really fast if used on sealed surfaces. The BRCC tyres make the truck handle really bad (as you mentioned). I replaced them with
the Badland MX28 2.8" wheels which made a world of difference. More stable and loads of traction. thanks for the vid and your thoughts.
Much appreciated, glad you liked the video, the big rock, other than the stock tires, is a beast! I’m thinking I’m gonna throw some granite tires on it to test it out and see if that helps with the traction rolling, the Senton although it’s not my favorite has a spot in my collection and I do drive it, I was able to squeeze some backflips out with it in the video stock but it wasn’t easy and not landing it just right proved disastrous! I punched a hole in the rear of the body the size of a quarter because it caught wind and landed upside down, however I think with a little tweaking I can get it to run just right, it is faster than my slash ultimate stock surprisingly enough! Check that video out when you get a chance, that kinda caught me off guard lol but at the end of the day all of these vehicles are Arrma tough! I’ve put them through hell on the ramp, I’m not the type to purposely try to break my Rc’s, I take care of them, but with ramp jumps and heavy bashing they have all impressed and at the price point it’s a hellava deal, thanks for watching👍
Do I need new hubs if I get them tires. Im a noob
@@DTWC you will need to change the hex to suit the wheel hex if you get differentsl size wheels. If you get the same wheels, no need to change the hex or hub.
Thanks for the comparison. I have the 3s Typhon and it handles great on a 1/8 scale dirt track. Really fun to drive.
Yes sir! I couldn’t agree more, the Typhon can do it all! And thank you for watching 🤙

Went out and bought the Vorteks brushless in blue/green😊.

Nice, the Vorteks is a beast! Really gives the rustler some competition for sure, I have since this video added two more to the Arrma 3s fleet!

@rcreviews9894 thanks for the reply. Wow 7 3s arrma. So you know I have the vorteks. I have a custom baja rey and a 6s all metal mojave. Having said that if I was to stay in the 3s arema lineup what model is next for me.. bigrock, typhoon or maybe jump to the 4s kraton? Thanks for any suggestions, ANY😁
@@surfside75 that’s a tough one, if you were to get another 3s Arrma, definitely get the Typhon, it does it all, on road, off road, handles well off the ramp, just a well rounded Rc, durable too, which is pretty impressive considering it’s a buggy, I own both the 4s Outcast and Kraton, both are animals! You can’t go wrong with either one

Your backyard is HUGE! Ever thought of building an rc car race track back there? Plenty of space would still be left for whatever else, BBQ's, kids, picnic, sports.
Yeah I thought of that a long time ago but the wifey ain’t having it lol besides we are planning to move soon so buyers may not like a dirt track in the back yard but trust me I have thought about it, I want at least 5 acres on the next property I buy and there will be a track there for sure 👍
@@rcreviews9894 Haha, I see. Surprised about your wife though. Even if you took up only 1/3 of that space on the far end, it would be like it didn't even exist. Definitely understand about new buyers. Haha, that would be pretty funny to see buyer reactions to seeing an rc track in the back of a house.
Vent your Senton body wont parachute. I put the wider BRCC/Typhon arms on mine. Got a few sets of tires. It fun on this setup. I agree it’s takes a personal touch, but it’s a beast. PS wider body helps absorb impacts👍🏾
Thanks, appreciate the advice, it is a beast, honestly all of them are, as you may have seen in the video I was able to squeeze out a few back flips with the Senton, it just took a lot of effort on my part and real heavy on the throttle, I think with better tires, it may give it more torque to hit those wheelies and backflips easier, I may cut some slits in the front and back of the body to get that air flow too 👍 thanks for watching!
I do speed tests with the senton tires on the big rock and vise versa. That way I know the senton is the fast one and the big rock and granite are better for arial tricks. Screw that short course body in the yang. With some modding the senton has become my favorite to the point I got rid of the others.
Great video!
Thanks, glad you liked it! 👍
Great trucks all of them. I started with 2 big rocks . I have to buy in set's me and my son. Like the wider stance will be going 4 s. Soon. But looking for another basher soon . To bring our collection to 3 a piece .

@@rcreviews9894 u nailed it..lol
I have the 3s Typhon and the 6s Typhon. They are completely different animals. The 3s jumps better and is lighter... and sometimes more fun to bash. But if you want violence, the 6s Typhon running on 6s is an insane beast of a car with almost too much power and tons of speed. You will not regret having both. Or either.
Now I really want it lol, thanks for watching 👍
@@rcreviews9894 oh yes. Yes you do. 😀
Work of advice with the 6S. Get a bash bar. You will not be happy when you have to fix the curve on the front of the chassis from a bad crash or from repeated ramp landings.
@@blademaster7879 thanks man! I too have the Typhon 3s and 6s… I definitely need that bash bar! Also put a kraton bumper on it!
i want to ask a question so if i buy the Typhon 3s can i later buy a 130 Amp esc in the future and put one 4s battery and run it or i have to change the motor also or it will handle it? i saw a dude on youtube puting a 120 esc on senton 3s blx with everything stock and its becomes a beast but i like the buggy more and arent the senton and typhon same cars diferent bodies?
Of all of those l really like the Vorteks!
Hey great stuff. Really good to hear your opinions of all the cars. I agree with everything you are saying I think. I'd put the Senton at the bottom too. It is great and I like driving it but it is less good at various things than the others. What I've done with mine is to make it more of a cornering machine rather than trying to make it jump well. I've just shortened the shocks slightly and put thicker oil in and it blasts around corners on the grass really well. The inner fender set does help a bit with the air getting under it. I'm not bothered about the jumps with that one so much because I've got the others to do that. If I was only allowed to have one of them it would be the Granite and if I was allowed 2 then I'd also have the Typhon. I did damage my shocks a couple of times on the Typhon and I think it's because of the lack of a front bumper. To that end I have ordered a Senton bumper for it. It's really good that you can interchange parts and make hybrid versions. I decided not to get the Vorteks at the mo but if I didn't already have all the others then I might have done. I am planning to do some sort of comparison video but I've done nothing towards it just yet. Anyway, nice work on this :-)
Thanks, I really appreciate it, this was probably the most time consuming video I’ve ever made lol, running five different Rc’s, making videos for each one, editing all of them and then combining them with the main at the table review, I enjoyed it though and had a good time making it, after really taking the time to really think about it, I think the Typhon is my favorite out of all of them, believe me it wasn’t easy because I really like the granite too! By the way what did you think about that double back flip! lol, the granite is a beast! The Senton is a good truck, it’s just lacking in some areas, I may play around with the shocks like you did and do some other modifications to get it running just right, I do have another Vorteks video coming here in a day or so, its already been made I have it scheduled to release soon, I’ve heard that there may be some issues with it, so I did a durability test just to see for myself hope to see you there for that one , I’m also planning some Traxxas vs Arrma videos, and I think it may be time to move up to Arrmas 6s line ! I’m having so much fun with these, my first 6s will definitely be the Typhon! Again thanks for watching! 👍
@@rcreviews9894 Yes I'd imagined that it was quite a task to get all 5 of these talked about in the video with relevant clips of them too. I did notice your double back flip. Very cool. I have done it a few times but not sure if I ever landed them cleanly. I was impressed with getting a backflip out of the Senton because I've not done that or even tried. Getting it to land on its wheels is enough for me! I'm not going to venture into the 6s cars as these 3s ones are perfect for me really. I'd probably go for one of the EXB ones where they have hopped up the strength of it and you can put in the electronics of your choice. Don't think they have done an EXB Typhon though. I guess you can just run it and find out what breaks! Good luck :-)
@@PeteWylieRC yeah it’s definitely a risk trying to backflip the Senton it doesn’t have enough torque to land them every time not landing one is really risky too which I learned the hard way, lol punched a quarter size hole through the back of the body when I landed upside down with it, so I won’t be doing that again any time soon! I think the only 6s I really want is the typhon so I might just get that one
@@rcreviews9894 With a Maxx body and badlands my senton pulls Backflips like it's nothing. Also no parachute bs and not much shit gets in.
What would people chose over a big rock and granite??
What would you choose over those two??
@rcreviews9894 I've had the Typhon & Granite a year now, and love both for different reasons. Typhon is my favourite for its superb handling though - turns on a dime literally and accelerates like lightning 🌩 I've come back to watch the video again because I want the Big Rock or Vorteks now...
I am having issue after issue on my Voreks. First all the wheels came off cuz no lock tight on the hubs. Now after 3 batteries i have no steering and throttle issues. I HOPE my servo is the issue but it seems worse than that. Light driving on the road no bashing. I can’t believe it.
Man I’m sorry to hear that, must have been a new guy in manufacturing that day, or maybe you just got a bad one, I haven’t had any issues and I’ve been bashing the hell out of mine, I’m surprised mine still works, have you contacted Arrmas warranty dept or HH? I’m sure they will replace anything that’s wrong with it
Thanks for letting me know about this video. So i am leaning towards the granite. I personally like the scale look of the senton but i have seen the issues associated with sct cars. I never even considered the typhon because it always looked fragile to me. More road focused. Thanks for this video man very helpful.
The Typhon is tougher than it looks and really good off-road, the granite is definitely a beast, I have unboxing’s and maiden runs of each vehicle too if your interested, feel free to browse the channel and thanks again for watching 👍
What issues with stc?
@@kingdeadshoot6019 the dont jump as well the body get a bunch of air under it and since the tires are under the body they kick up a bunch of stuff into the body compartment.
Wich one would you recommend? Id do light bashing and I already have an rustler 4x4 vxl, I love how the granite looks. And is one stronger than an other?
The granite is an all around good basher, really good on the ramp, they are all pretty fast out of the box, you really can’t go wrong with the granite, I say go with the granite 👍
Nice video, would have been nice to see under the hood of each side by side.
Yeah, you know you gave me an idea for another video lol, honestly people ask me all the time about how the chassis’s compare and how they are similar in setup, especially now that we picked up the new Infraction and the Vendetta, I seriously may do a video on that now, thanks for the feedback and the watch👍🤙
Sir
I recently bought the first Arma Granite and it's awesome #RC4LYFE

Between the senton 3s and the vorteks, which one would you recommend? No matter the terrain
I have owned my typhon 3s for a few months now, I have never broken anything on my typhon except when I slammed into a brick wall going 50 miles an hour. Super shocking, I only broke a steering knuckle doing that. Srongly recommend the typhon to anyone. Arrma tough.
Your 50mph per hours straight into a brink wall and didn't break anything but a knuckle . More like 20mph hard on the brakes into the wall from going 40mph.

Which one would you recommend as best rc car for everything.
If you are talking about which one is the best between these Rc’s in this video, I would have to say my favorite is the Typhon, the Granite between the monster trucks and the Senton being my least favorite
I have all of these except the vorteks (mostly because i think the price increase is ridiculous just for a better remote), and the senton is by far the slowest. Even with the body vented on punch 5 its much slower than any other 3s arrma on a track. Im considering putting a 3800kv motor in it to see if its much faster. Still fun though and controls good on the track. The Typhon is my favorite 3s arrma for the track, i can keep up with nitro cars and 4s truggies with it its so fast and smooth to drive. I might put a 4s esc and motor in it later for a bit more power though. The big rock is awesome for both the track and for bashing, but its much harder to control on jumps on a track. The stock tires on the big rock are trash though like you said, I immediately took them off. The granite i have is modified with a 3800kv motor and a castle ESC, and that thing is a front/back flipping and bashing king. Not useful on the track at all though. Each car has major strengths and weaknesses but its very fun to have all of them for the variety of what i can drive depending on the mood.
The Vorteks is definitely worth it IMO, it does have a better radio, and is module capable, however just like the Traxxas app, it’s probably not accurate, it’s fast as hell too, on the maiden run we got 53 mph as our top speed if I remember correctly, not bad stock! It completely destroyed the rustler 4x4 vxl, check that video out if you haven’t already, the big rock is a beast! Other than the stock tires, it’s a tank! My favorite out of the 3s line is the typhon! It handles really good on road, off-road and definitely on the ramp! I like it so much, I’m getting the 6s version! Thanks for watching👍
Something is wrong with your Senton, bc a 3s Senton is not slow lol...
@@timsgta 46 is really not that slow stock, if you haven’t already check out my run with the Senton vs. the Slash, I think we got it to go a little faster in that video, the main thing holding me back from getting it to go faster is the body, it catches wind real easily and wrecks out, also it definitely needs better tires, I’ve seen other videos where they use the granite tires, I might give that a try
Hmm, I find the the typhon to be the slowest out of the box. My senton does 50 on 3S consistently. I wonder if yours might have a defect?
@Vape N Clash last time I checked, it's about 50 bucks more than the other 3s arrma cars. Not 20. Same price as that ripoff 3s street car they made on the same platform. Charged way more for the same car with different tires and body. The vorteks tires are dinky, that would be the first thing I would change if I got one. None of my arrmas have the stock tires. The Dboots tires they come with are garbage compared to anything pro-line makes.
I've watched 👀 this video 📹 like 10 times trying to pick one! (Im currently going for the typhon) 😊
Well you definitely can’t go wrong with the Typhon, it’s actually my favorite one, it’s also an excellent choice given the fact that it has the best of both worlds, it performs really well off-road and on the ramp and it’s also a good street car, just throw on some street tires and let it rip, by the way, I just dropped another video talking about each Rc in my collection!!

Bigger proline tires and bigger ramp lol mine does double backs at 60ft jumps pretty damn fun but I'm trying to break mine thats y I love this hobby send it!!
I don’t jump mine quite as high but since this video I’ve actually started building 45 degree angle ramps that I use to jump em in the back yard, more like 20 -25 feet for me I’m hitting doubles and triples too, kinda hard to break em, their tanks! 🤙
Yeah they are!! I've been dreaming about getting a 2nd car and I think I've settled on the typhon looks like so much fun launching that thing
I have the big rock it's great all round, only complaint i have is the tires balloon a lot and it flips pretty easily if i turn too hard on grass, i'm going to get some better tires and thicker shock oil, should help it out a lot.
Yeah it has a wide suspension but bad tires, kinda defeats the purpose, upgrading to better tire will definitely help with the traction rolling👍

I have granite tyres on my Big Rock and it's a definite improvement in looks and performance.

I want to buy MT, but confused to choose between granite, nig rock and hobao hyper MT, do you have any suggestions, which one should I buy, tq.
Well I don’t know anything about hobao but as far as the big rock and granite goes, that’s a tough one, both do wheelies on command, both are excellent on the ramp with the granite having the slight edge because of its shorter chassis allowing for easier back flips and other stunts, the big rock is a tank that’s also great on the ramp and off-road, the only weakness with the BigRock are those narrow stock tires, I don’t like them, other than that, it’s a tough decision because I really like them both, I guess it comes down to preference, they are both beasts
Nice comparison mate. I have the Big Rock and Vorteks. Thinking Typhon next. Thanks and subbed which gives you 400 😀
Thanks, your number 400! 👍 if I were you I would definitely get the typhon next! I like the 3s version so much I’m getting the 6s, thanks for the sub and thanks for watching
Get a typhon, you wont regret it. I have all of these except the vorteks. The typhon is the fastest 3s arrma on a track and it handles jumps like a dream. I wish i had bought the typhon first.
As Newby who is just looking for all around fun. Would you suggest the big rock or the granite? Personally I'm more partial to the big rock
Honestly you can’t go wrong with either one, both trucks have a lot of power and wheelie on command, the big rock is wider and has a longer chassis, where as the granite has a shorter chassis and bigger beefier tires, both perform well on the ramp but because the granite has the shorter chassis, it’s gonna be easier to get double or triple backflips depending on ramp height, seriously though, you will get hooked with either one, hope this helps👍

@@cjboots1115 well how bout this, my opinion, they are both awesome but if I could only have one, it would be the Big rock

@@rcreviews9894 wondering why people say the arrma big rock is such a good deal when it doesn't come with batteries and chargers at the end of the day I could get a traxxas hoss or something similar at almost the same price point as buying the big rock and the batteries/charger
I’m stuck between big rock & vorteks which one should I go with if I could just have one
Well I guess it depends on what you wanna do, the Vorteks is a stadium truck and will be slightly faster stock with better handling on the street and high speed straight aways, the BigRock is a monster truck, perfect for that hardcore basher, wheelies on command and back flips for days off the ramp, so it really depends on what you wanna do and what type of kit you want, Monster truck or stadium truck?
To be honest I’m just trying to get a great medium in rc car to just drive around and have a little fun no lie I’m just getting into the hobby since I got my son a okay rc for Xmas and it’s been fun now I want me a great one that I don’t have to do much to it since I’m just getting into it. But if there is a fast great rc car that you recommend it can be any thing just seeing if you could lead me in the right direction I just bought a hyper go H14bm but I have not got yet but I want one more lol just want one more all around RC truck that’s kinda fast and good since I been watching all kinds of videos just can’t pick and I don’t want to go wrong

Would the vorteks wheels fit on the big rock?
Im pretty sure they would, I would have to test that out though to be 100% frankly any tire would be better than the stocks on the big rock 👍
Good video but I have one complaint the music is too loud when you are just showing the vehicle and not talking. That being said the information was great. 👍
Thanks, yeah I might have gotten carried away lol but at least the music was good, right? Lol
I agree with this too. Also felt like the broll was a little bit too long on each car. Might just be me because I’ve seen dozens of videos on them already. Loved the vid though. Thanks for posting
I think the music bumped hard and was a joy to listen to.
I think the same, music too loud, but otherwise good vid.
I like the music dude tbh
I put big rock tires on my senton and it wheelies and flips on command, wish I put granite tires tho after seeing this, thought they were the same size.
Yeah you would be surprised by just changing the tires how much it can improve performance 🤙
I’m thinking of going for the big rock👍
Excellent choice, the BigRock is a beast! Wheelies on command, backflips for days! It is definitely one of my favorites in this line up👍
Which one is best in ur opinion
That’s a hard question lol, they are all really good with the Senton being my least favorite but it is still a good truck, it really depends on what you wanna do, for hardcore bashing I would go with the Granite or the BigRock, for on road and off road and far launches on the ramp I would go with the Typhon, for the best of both worlds( on road/ off-road and good ramp jumps) I would go with the Vorteks, the Vorteks is also the fastest stock! We got 53 mph on the speed run, the Senton is good too but your gonna need some better tires right out of the gate, hopefully that gave you a little to work with and think about, also I have Maiden runs and Unboxing’s of each vehicle here on the channel so check that out for more info
I really wanted a typhon 3s.. but thanks to covid I could only find a mega... I have run it for about 4 months and abused the hell out of it in skate parks and bmx tracks and amazingly not broken anything....
I just bought the motor, esc and drive train to make it 3s... waiting sucks.. especially parts coming from America..
Yeah, everything is more expensive and hard to get nowadays, I’m not a very patient person lol, I hate waiting for things to come in too, especially when there are shortages, there was a heli I wanted and it immediately went out of stock as soon as it came out, it got pushed back for months, then they had some come in and before I got the chance to order it, it went back on back order, lol it’s not coming out again until next year some time! So trust me, I feel your pain
Nice vid man. 😎👍
Appreciate it, I put a lot of work into this video, I had to shoot and edit the main video and then record 5 different run videos for each Rc, edit those and then incorporate them into the right spots in the main video, what did you think about that granite double back flip? Pretty awesome right! I need a bigger ramp lol, a buddy of mine is supposed to make me one with a 45 degree angle so we can really launch em!
@@rcreviews9894 yeah it showed. Really nice job. Nice double back flip too lol
@@thischildishlifestyle I bought these not thinking much about it but to be honest these trucks are awesome! It may be time to explore the 6s line now and the first one I’m gonna get is gonna be that Typhon! I’m really liking the typhon 3s after really thinking about it, the typhon is my favorite out of all of them
Are they all the same chassis? I’ve been offered a brushless senton chassis and wondered what else shares this platform and how durable it is.
Aww man I knew I would forget something! Lol that’s a good question I should have shown each chassis is this overview sorry about that, it depends, is it a v3 Senton chassis and not an older model? If it’s the newest Senton, then yes they are all pretty much the same, same electronic layout with minor differences, the Senton chassis has the side body guards that you can grab like a handle on each side and doesn’t have the full surrounding tub, it just has the debris guards towards the front of the vehicle, as far as durability, yes they are all pretty tough, if you want more of a visual, check out my unboxing, here on the channel
The Granite and the Vorteks share the short wheel base chassis, the other 3 have the long wheelbase chassis.
Is it possible to put the granite tires on the big rock.
@@theunit5939 I’ve never done it but I don’t see why not, that’s the only weakness of the big rock is the stock tires, they are too narrow to begin with and when your running it hard the tires turn into saucers becoming even thinner leading too excessive traction rolling and instability into turns which defeats the whole purpose of a wider suspension.
Awesome video I love my Big rock....what ramp do you use and recommend?
Well to be honest I think a wood ramp would be a lot better than what I have, I have a buddy that’s supposed to make one for me, the fresh park is nice buts it’s really heavy and doesn’t have the angle I want, the black discount ramp is good but hard to find online nowadays, really though it doesn’t matter what ramp you get there are two main important things to look for when getting a ramp, first the angle 📐 a good 45 degree angle is best! Also the surface of the ramp, to smooth and you’ll spin out!
Hello. Are the shock towers on the Typhon completely plastic ?
Yes they are but they are very durable! I’ve landed upside down off the ramp a couple of times and never had an issue!

Yeah I’ve seen people put the granite tires on the senton and it seems to work out better, the body might also need some modifications, cause for me it catches wind like a parachute but I run mine on 3s
Great video, I am interested in buying my first RC. I was wondering what are the advantages of 3s over 6S if any.
Thanks in advance!
The advantage of 3s over 6s is, in some cases only having to buy and or charge one battery instead of two, they do have single 6s batteries but they again, in some cases not all, depending on the battery, will cost more than a single 3s, the actual Rc car or truck itself ( 6s )in most cases will cost more , since this is your first Rc, 3s is plenty of power to learn with, however you will quickly get hooked and want another with more power! That’s when you should move up to 6s, or if you got some money to spend and want to dive head first into it go for the 6s rig out of the gate, good luck 👍 and thanks for watching!
@@rcreviews9894 Thank you I appreciate the info it'll help me decide. cheers
@@TruGamer128 no problem, I could ramble on for days about Rc’s lol, but the bottom line is cost and over all power between the two, now which one you should buy? Lol that’s a hard question lol
@Vape N Clash Thank you. I agree 3S seems to be the better choice at least for me anyways.
How good is then senton as far as what it's built for short track compared to a slash
I’m glad you asked! I actually have a video planned, let’s just say I have a slash 4x4 ultimate and a Senton 4x4 3s blx, stay tuned your not gonna want to miss it!! O and we have already started the comparison videos, just uploaded the rustler 4x4 vxl vs. the new Vorteks!! Also we have the bandit vxl vs. the Arrma Typhon, keep in mind these are all stock gearing comparisons with the exception of minor changes like anacondas and a wheelie bar installed on the bandit vxl for example it’s gonna be interesting to see how the Senton and Slash compare! At the end of the day the Senton is a good truck for what it is, just needs a personal touch to get it running just right!
Thanks I'm looking forward to it. let me point out my situation I have a slash vxl 4x4 which is great on 2s but as soon as I put 3s in it I break driveshafts or something. Then I got a armma bigrock man that thing never breaks its crazy I mean stuff where's out then needs replaced but thats rc. So basically I buy really expensive driveshafts so I can enjoy 3s with slash or get a new shiny armma senton. So buy 140 dollars in driveshafts for a older beat up ugly slash just saying I've been it up or spend 320 get a whole new system that I'm pretty confident wont break on 3s.
@@Tuidkskiwjdhdbd yeah I see your point, get the Senton, it’s way more durable seriously, that is the weakness with all Traxxas trucks, the drive shafts, I’ve complained about that for years

I just recently retired and am thinking about taking up RC as a hobby…so I’m ignorant amd asking for help….what is 3s and 6s and what does that mean
When we talk about 3s and 6s, we are talking about battery power, a 3s lipo and 6s lipo ( or two 3s lipo batteries running together to give you 6s power) some Rc’s are capable of running up to 3s, while other Rc’s, sometimes larger in scale are capable of running a single 6s battery, or more commonly, two 3s batteries, this is achieved by more powerful and capable electronics as well, hopefully this helps🤙

@@keijimorita1849 yeah I couldn’t agree with you more, Traxxas is probably my favorite brand besides Arrma, I too own a stampede 4x4 vxl and the stampede vxl, you can’t run a 3s with the 4x4 stampede without blowing out drive shafts, Traxxas to me is easier to work on just for the simple fact that I own so many and that was the first brand that got me started years back, Arrma is definitely tougher though!!

there are plenty of great expensive buggys out there... sometimes we are not all rich enough to purchase these buggys, they run 8s/10s and cost £1000 each... you should choose a buggy that is fast and durable for our simple pockets. the arrma senton is only 3s.. can reach 50mph, its very durable , can be bashed with cheap spares.. the Absima Assasin runs on 6s.. its very fast and with the included pinion will make 70mph.plus.... i have both these buggys.. they are excellent.. they are around £320 each... plus batteries etc... i also have a pro-boat sonic wake.. 6s £420... which will do 50mph.. its a great boat which will self right its self after our mistakes.. just my thoughts.. good luck to you.....

Will the Granite body fit the Senton blx?
Im not sure haven’t tried it, the Senton chassis is different than the Granite, so maybe not
Senton will do more than 46mph with better tires, I'm sure. Other videos have shown it...
Yeah your right with a few upgrades like you said better tires and maybe a modified body those speeds could easily be achieved

I’m surprised I haven’t broke anything yet, for the price and toughness I would go with the granite all day and this is coming from a Traxxas guy, the big rock is also a good choice, but the big rock does have some issues, first it’s a traction roll king and that’s mainly due to the thin tires, your almost always guaranteed to roll over in high speed turns, and mine has started cogging a little bit lately, I think I know what’s causing it though, but it does have a lot of power and can easily back flip off ramps, your safe bet is the granite in my opinion
@@d4yt3k O and another thing, the granite 4x4 blx is 320 for the kit, you can get a smart battery, I recommend the 3s 50c 5000 mah hard pack for around 65- 70 and the smart charger I have cost 30 dollars, so at the end of the day you would still come out ahead, as far as the price of the hoss, which I believe is almost 500 dollars after taxes unless the price dropped, I think I payed 479 for mine when it first came out
@@rcreviews9894 thanks for the suggestion and I think I will go for the Granite after all. Way better price point compared to the hoss and I'm not as convinced on the others yet. Local store I deal with doesn't stock the Granite so I'll have to order direct from arrma or try another site.

Where did you get that ramp?
Cool the Granite is one of my favorites on the ramp because it’s easy to squeeze out double backflips it has so much torque and power for it’s size, there are two ramps in the video, so I’m not sure which one your asking about, the big Fresh Park I got online, Just Google Fresh Park and there are multiple sites that sell them, the little small black one I got on discount ramps . com years ago, I just recently built my own ramp, I’m not the best craftsman but it works lol, it’s 4feet wide and tall enough for my Xmaxx, it has a nice 45 degree angle on it, perfect for sending them high up and out!

The Senton is a good truck, it’s not my favorite but it’s fun to drive, it handles pretty good off-road, on the street you may get some fishtailing and sliding around, the stock tires are not that good imo, the body catches wind on high speed straight aways as well but most short course trucks are like that, I’m just curious, why don’t you like the granite?
@@rcreviews9894 Im not a big basher. I grew up with the slash and so I have always liked the combo of street and off-road. I run them hard but I don’t particularly enjoy flips and wheelies.
