Big thanks to my Brothers at the ARRMA Forum for their commitment to helping others and continued passion for the hobby 🤗www.arrmaforum.com/threads/important-please-read-arrma-6s-arrma-mega-4x4-blx-3s-and-blx-4s-shock-information-and-upgrades.7413/
@@ParcoUpchurch in general, the chassis should be able to bottom out off jumps and by hand without too much effort. This ensures that the shocks and control arms aren't overloaded. If you run really tall wheels, it's possible to raise the axels too high to allow proper chassis slap. That leads to busted arms and shock rod ends and can damage your shock shafts and pistons. Likewise, the stiffer your suspension set-up, the harder the forces are at all the connection points in the suspension and hubs. 🍻😎💪👊👊
might want to wait on that a bit. I can't run mine for more than about 5 min before it goes in LV cut. Horizon's answer is sending the ESC back to them for an update. 3.7v lipo cut seem silly to me considering what this is.
@@edgerat sorry about that, no worries, it's not my first rodeo, when something breaks the first thing that goes through my mind is, WOOOHOOO TIME TO UPGRADE. Truth be told I like building, tinkering and trying to bomb proof this stuff every bit as much as I like actually driving, flying etc...them. it's just part of the hobby.
Rich I just wanted to thank you for all these awesome videos and tips. I finally got my 2nd kraton 8s put together with the hobbystar motor and all m2c goodies. Thanks for answering my millions of questions I had. You the man!
Dude great tips! I have went thru so many motor bearings from that dust you were talking about in the motor mount! I was always trying to come up with a way to keep the crud out and could not come up with anything till now! Thanks so much!
Thanks so much Brent 🤗. Me too with the slipper and motor bearings😝. The chassis slit mod works Fantastic!!! Basically... problem solved 👍. Forgot who first shared that, but can verify first-hand it works. Happy bashing 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
Wow Rich I am blown away oh how durable and fast it is. Any setup tips on how to make it land better. this Friday I hit a 6-foot jump and the front diff stiped. But then today I replaced the diff and went to bash with some friends hit a 30-foot jump and survived. The 3s arrma cars are super tough and modifiable and without breaking the bank. Supper cool vid Rich cant wait to see more of this rig. Hope you and your family are doing great!
Thanks so much Brother 😜. I haven't had any diff issues with these 3&4s rigs. The 6s rigs definitely need shimming and more vigilance in terms of maintenance and not landing on throttle...etc. I still recommend using Mugen Seiki E0206 planetary shims and 2-3 Tekno #1222 crown gear side bearing shims. Appreciate the kind words my friend 😊. Hope all is well. 🍻👍👍😎💪👊👊
Wow Rich Always Got A New Animal On The Loose. Great Job On That Ripping Machine.Hope You Can Bring Out The Big Rock Soon.It Would Be Sick Seeing That Rig Again.Awsome Vid.Cant Wait For The Next One.
Thanks so much Javier 🤗. Sorry I missed this 👀. I'm actually pimping my Big Rock out as we speak. Don't want to spill the beans, but doing 2 different set-ups that will be interchangeable. One is more road based 😱. Should be fun to share either way. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Man thank you for all the tips brother💯😁 I just got the v3 senton and loving it out the box!!! But I like to upgrade my rcs because its fun😋 Awesome run with the senton and again thanks for sharing your tips and upgrades with us all!!
Thanks so much Josh 🤗. Congrats on your Senton 3s 😱. About a year ago, I met an older couple by chance while at my LHS who needed help picking out his and hers rigs for shredding their property. Basically wanted to race each other and make an impromptu track 😍. I felt 100% confident steering them to the Senton 3s 👍. Such a Killer fun, fast, and capable little Beast. Really appreciate your comment Brother. 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
I have watched this vid like 4 times and I'm barely commenting. Rich I Love this set up with the buggy wheels! You have a mini Mohave!! This Senton is a total Beast. Your bashing skills are crazy! I'm going to do this conversion to a Redcat Blackout just cuz I love the look! Stay safe and Bash on from Colorado!!!
Thanks so much Ervin 😜. This rig is why I never grabbed a Mojave. Just don't feel like I need one already having this Ripper. She absolutely rips with the Lockups buggy wheels. Best wishes with your Blackout Brother 🤗. Sounds like a plan. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Seems like u and me r the only ones that like to send our senton 70ft plus love this lil truck..lmao neighbors come out like Omg that's an rc truck launch gotta get that tyhpon show em what a long jump really looks like!! Love your content
Nice vid Rich. Thanks for mentioning the spur cutout. I've been preaching that on all my vids since way back when the Mega line was released. Best mod ever for the 3s/4s line.
Thanks so much Larry 🤗. The chassis slit is such a KILLER, effective solution to a frustrating problem. I was constantly trying to keep crap out of there and cleaning the damn box 🤣🤣. This mod was a breakthrough Brother 👊. Kudos to you if that was your post on the Forum 👍. It's worked brilliantly on my Typhon 3s and all my 3&4s rigs are getting the hole treatment. Happy bashing and thanks for sharing great tips!!!! 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
It looks so counter-intuitive! you'd think that even more debris would get in there with that slit....i'm about to do it right now to both my Senton 3s and Typhon 3s. does the high RPM act like a blower to evacuate all the dirt/sand/rocks?
@@tektronik74 I hear ya on it seeming counterintuitive. Truth is it works brilliantly for sparing the bearings and gears. Like Larry said, there's nothing exact about the cutout really. Mine is roughly 1/4" by 3/4" and works great. 🍻
Awesome Rips and bash on top of an awesome bench video brother Rich. Killer upgrades and tons of tips. Awesome over all Rundown of this sucker Beast! Totally agree with everything you've touched on. 3s line on 4s Power brought out a new animal attitude into her! Tough AF! The Fun factor is off the chain 🤣. She can cover her ground super quick! Love you setup brother. You definitely dialed her in just Right! Stay safe and bash on brother.
Thanks so much Brother Chris 😜. It was killing me leaving her on the bench for so long 😝. Bought that fresh body off Jenny's over a year ago 👀. Got busy with other rigs and she sat buried with spare parts and garage stuff. I happened upon an old vid and it lit that fire 🔥. So happy to finally dress her up better than ever 😍. Definitely as Fun as any rig I own Bro 😱🤣🤣. Had such a Killer time watching her fly and roll over the terrain at warp speed 😂. Really appreciate the kind words Brother 🤗🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
Never a dull moment watching your vids. I swear you could make a box fly and still land upright (what ever side is up) Thx for sharing keep coming back LOL
Rich as you know ive converted my with Arrma granite Wheels but am thinking of them wheels now and Shocks, great idea with the venting and venting for the spur gear ⚙ 😀 4s power is insane, still love your laughter 🥰🤣, I would love to see what speed you are doing 😀 amazing Basharoo and Jumps 👍😱👍, its so tough and it did take a hammering 🤜💥🤛 another Amazing video as always 👍🥰😎👍
Thanks so much Tony 🤗. She's an absolute riot running on 4s. 😱🤣🤣. It's near impossible to achieve top speeds until I rig a wheelie bar of some sort. She wants to kite upwards past 50-55mph 👀. Such a Killer fun platform as you know Brother 😍. The beating she can take is ridiculous 😂. The buggy Lockups work Fantastic on her. Lighter than the Granite wheels, but much faster overall. Really appreciate the kind words as always my friend 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
So I got the 17mm lock up, Sixpack tires and wheels. Holy heck! Ordered a couple gears to play with it on the track. Most definitely will be doing the other upgrades a bit later.
Killer video! I just picked up a v3 550 senton last week, and will be stepping it up to 4s capable very soon. Its been a blast to drive even in its slow stock form though.
Float Much? Dang Rich.... I think I counted about 10 seconds the whole video where 3-4 tires were on the ground. Was usually 2 or 1 wheel! 😳🔥🔥🔥 Thing is just lightning Plastastic. I gotta mess with my sons Senton just haven't gotten around to it, the few minutes I have run it was a blast, just been messing with the bigger trucks so I understand looking past this little beast. Fantastic bench breakdown of all the work and Hobo mods you have done.. I'm sure that's a great help to people and if I end up tweeking Jaxons's Senton (and you know I will) I have this video to refrence. Appreciate the tips Master 🙏 Rich 😂😎👍 Bro I was smiling this whole video... Just a hoot, glad you shared this! Not everything fun has to be 6 or 8s! Fun is what makes you smile! Rock on Friend😁🙌
Thanks so much Brother Dennis 😜. I too have been focused on the bigger rigs this past year 🤗. It's easy to forget just how FUN and lightning quick these little guys are 👀. This was an easy conversion already having the parts on hand and such a complete hoot to bash 😱🤣🤣. Just couldn't contain the laughter 😂. It was Crazy cuz I had the entire place to myself too 👀. So awesome to go balls out with no worries. These rigs are so easy to wrench on 😍 and tough as nails. Truly appreciate the nice comment Brother 🤗👍👍😎💪👊👊
That thing is a screamer! I absolutely love my Outcast 4S, It's such a beast and like you said so easy to work on. Love your tips and great vids keep up the great content brother!
Was recommended by Kevin talbot on his center diff mod reference you about the crusher chassis for the K5. Three minutes into this vid I’m subscribed bcs of the content of the build and the literature.
Wow, for a moment I thought Arrma had blessed us with a new 4S rig. Oh well, the Senton didn't move me much when I first saw it. At my shop they only had a 30MPH one and the new Granite was a 50MPH 3S so I went for it. I wish Arrma would make a 4S truck like the Senton, it would rock. Great Video what an upgrade. Arrma needs to see it and say "what an Idea" then just make it. I'd throw my money at it for sure.
Thanks so much Harry 🤗. My hope is to motivate ARRMA by example. They do watch and get ideas from us basher's 👍. I think it comes down to appeal. I'd argue a high powered 1/10 4s RTR would be very popular. Even a 4s based Infraction or Felony would be a hit. Not everyone wants to pay $600+ to haul ass and have fun. While it's great to have different scale options, let's not forget the raw fun factor of lighter, 1/10 platforms. 🍻👍👍😎💪👊👊
Maybe look into taking the kraton4s and converting it to a senton using the upgraded parts they have like rpm and hot racing, same chassis and that way you can keep the chassis brace
I bought a v3 and wanted to do the same thing to it. Was considering taking it back because I didn't know how would turn out. But not anymore more, I'm keeping it. Thanks!
Congrats Brother 😱. ARRMA put some great touches on the latest versions 👀. Thank goodness they junked the STX2 remote too. Make the most of it and enjoy!!! 😎💪👊👊
Thanks so much Brother 😜. I can't fault this rig either. ARRMA did a Fantastic job with it. Funny thing is I wasn't interested in it at all when it first released 👀. Man was I wrong. 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
That thing looks like one uncontrollable monster on 4s!!! But I can't tell you how fun that looked. Love watching you beat your rigs up so I don't have to do the same to mine 🤣🤣 keep on keeping on brother Rich 🤘🤘
Thanks so much Brother 🤗. She truly is a challenging little monster 🤣🤣. I realized about midway through I should probably use more tact with the throttle 😱. So much FUN watching her try and self correct with all that wheelspin 😂. I was laughing my ass off out there. Definitely more fun on 4s than I imagined 😁👍👍😎💪👊👊
Hi Rich, they were some great tips man, I’m gonna have to get me one of those Arrma bashers, they really can take dogs abuse and still come back for more. Holy guacamole bat man, ya got some air under that rc. Awesome video Rich 🤑. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧
Thanks so much Mike 😜. These 3&4s rigs take some serious punishment and perform Killer overall. Hope the tips prove helpful. Happy bashing Brother. 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
Thanks so much Brother 😜. So glad you made it to SC after wind, snow, and U-haul issues 💩. Was telling Mitch I broke down driving my Dad's stuff from Denver to CA years ago. What a pain in the ass 😝🤣🤣. U-haul had a 55mph speed limiter on it too. Glad you made it despite the hiccups. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Maybe a little late reaction, but first really awesome video👊 Lately we bought the senton 3s, but you jump likes it's nothing and it seems that you have no bothered of the parachute effect, how comes that? When we jump the body takes so much wind under. No jumps like you, but jumps using of landscape. Any tips may welcome 🙂 Thanks in advance
Thanks my friend 🤗. The truck will always parachute to some degree with the large SCT body, but the effect is lessened some running a heavier motor and 4s Lipo. You can vent the rear portion of the body with a body reamer to allow more air flow 🤔. That will decrease parachuting to some degree anyways. 🍻😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 Thanks, that's maybe a good idea to vent the body, so we gonna try that. It's already ruined anyway at the rear. And upgrade to 4S was already on our list 😀 Thanks
HOLY BEAST MODE!!! LMAO. Thanks for another great video Rich!! Also, I switched my Typhon over fron 3 to 4s. Could you recommend what a good gear weight would be for the front and rear gearbox?
Thanks so much Brother 😜. I've kept the diffs stock, but have heard guys say they liked 20-30k front and rear. I'll have to experiment more with this 4s setup 😍. Your Typhon must haul ass 😱👌👌😎💪👊👊
I run DSM in a few of my rigs..Might even be better than Fast Eddie's..She might need some vent holes and louvers cut into the body to help with parachuting..She's screaming!
Hi Rich great video as always with amazing jumps! 😃 how did you solve the slipper clutch screw problem that become loose everytime?....I have a kraton 4s. Thanks
Rich, you are the Master of overpowering rigs 😮 Jesus, why even mounting the front wheels ? 😂 On 4S the rig is flying over the ground. I love my Granite 3S also very much. I have to upgrade the shocks like you to 6S shocks because I bend the shafts all the time even on good landings. Very impressive that the plastic Ring + Pinion gears take the power so well. BTW: I never broke one of the drive shafts, so Team-A is doing better then Team-T. 😘😘😘 Stay healthy and safe!
Thanks so much Kimberly 😍. This setup makes it quite challenging to keep the wheels down 😂. So much fun though and tough as nails 👀. The 1/8 Lockups feel perfect. The 6s shocks work great with the right tuning and springs. Lots of good upgrade options out there fortunately 🙂. The diffs and center driveshaft are brilliant. The 1.5 mod ring and pinion are meshed perfectly by design. These 3s rigs have just the right amount of flex for hard hits. So happy to have the Senton back out again 🤗. Thanks for your comment as always my Basherqueen 😘😘😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 I'll take a look at that! Cheers 🍻 there's so many cheap knock offs out there I never know what to trust. Love the channel, looks like you have a blast making it, don't know how you find the time to look after your 'tubers l and edit all this together! 👍 😎
Thanks so much Brother Ed 😜. Good gosh she's wild on 4s 👀. Definitely rigging a wheely bar on her soon. She took a proper beating no doubt 😂. Could've used more finesse with the trigger, but it was fun letting her squirm about. 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
I sure do Brother 👊. ARRMA's have lots of interchangeable parts between models. Makes it easy to customize and do conversion builds. Tons of aftermarket support too. 😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 thanks!! I have the Arrma motor and esc and I’m going to put that in one since I put in a Hobbywing Max 6 in my Mojave. It will be stupid fast!! Thanks again for all the help and input!!
Man i love seeing a short course pull off backflips. She absolutely screams. Do the bigger hexed duratrax hex hold up well.ive stripped out bout ever set ive ever had at least 1 tires he but they were all a 12mm hex very curious bout thebigger hexes especially now that they have some belted tires available. The st's look great like they get great grip. Super awesome tips on the 3s 4s line. Ive done a few mods myself like make a rock guard for the front of the chassis where the steering feeds through and a battery blank with bigger straps for running longer batteries. I really appreciate all your tips and advice.thanks for another great video man stay safe 🍻🍻🍻🍻🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks so much Nick 🤗. 12mm hexs are simply too small for bigger power. That's the main reason I convert to 17mm. I never strip them so long as the wheel nuts are cranked down properly, plus you have way more wheel options available then with the stock 14mm. The 1/8 Lockup buggy tires feel perfect on this setup. Props to you for your mods Brother 👍. That's the great part about customizing these rigs. 🍻😎💪👊👊
@@nickteele169 no I haven't. Only because it's blazing fast already and you can only get so much power to the ground in the dirt. It would probably be Crazy though, especially in the street 😱
So sorry to hear that Brother 😔. The 6s rigs have Killer potential with the right upgrades. The EXB was a step in the right direction. Either way, the 3s/4s definitely has it's place and is underrated for performance and durability. 🍻😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 thanks man. My kraton 6s is making a grinding noise, and it’s getting worse. I checked the diffs and nothing was broken. Some people say the input gears, but I’m not sure how to tell if they are striped. Any tips?
@@colter7300 often there will be a row of slightly flattened teeth on the crown or "ring" gear. The input gears can become pitted, but usually break teeth off when they fail and make a clicking sound when going slow. They can sometimes look fine at first glance. Best bet is to remove and inspect all gears (and bearings) closely and compare them with new gears. Shimming the crown gear side bearing with two Tekno #1222 shims is something I highly recommend to keep a tighter mesh between the crown and input gears. Lastly, make sure to use a quality marine grease and be sure the diff case itself is not cracked or stripped. 🍻😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 thanks so much! I originally looked at the gears and saw nothing wrong with them, but after looking closely i can see a few teeth grounded down a bit! Also, how often do you have diff issues, cause i've already snapped a gear in half and broke gaskets and i've had mine around 3 weeks now and haven't gotten through a full pack yet....Thanks man for being so helpful 😎
@@colter7300 I don't have diff issues very often to be honest, especially with them shimmed. The planetary gears and/or set pins can break on occasion, but it's pretty infrequent. Just don't run huge heavy wheels or land on the throttle. Gears need time to transfer power. They don't like sudden harsh stops...etc. I try to use momentum and keep the wheels spinning at the pace of the truck as best as possible. 🍻
I've tried that too. You can prolong the inevitable or find an answer to the problem. I had to try the chassis slit to see for myself. It works. No more retained dust, dirt, or moisture in the slipper box. No more fouled motor or slipper bearings.
Probably helps with the durability it being so light and most stuff is plastic. Awesome bash man..you kicked the ***t out of it...and it came back begging for more...hahaha🚀💥😂👍
For sure Brother 🤗. She weighs less than 7lbs and flexes instead of breaks 😱. I'm amazed the beating these rigs can handle. Such a great overall platform. Just a different kinda spastic fun than the 6s rigs. 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
What a little Hovercraft Brother Rich!!😱😂😂Damn she was cookin on 4s!!💪Reminds me of the Mojave with it's barrel rolls and beating it takes! So much fun going SCT!!😍Impressive jumps too for a mini parachute!😜This one had me smiling the whole way through! Killer run and bench tips at the beginning! The felt pad is a great idea! That plastic stop will def. blow up a battery!😂I know how that goes! Yoga mat folded up wasn't enough!😝Great vid Bro!!! Take it easy and talk soon!😎💪🤘🤘🚀🍻
Thanks so much Brother Eric 😜. She's a little screamer with this setup 😱🤣🤣. The Lockups pretty much felt like paddle tires in the sand 😍. Had such a Killer time rippin her around Bro 🤗. She took a complete hammering and just wouldn't stop 😂. I was shocked she took the ramp so well. The wheel spin and mass actually felt balanced. So happy to finally have her off the bench. I forgot how much pure fun this little sucker is. Really appreciate the comment Brother 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
I LOVE my senton, I run a hobby star 550 3500kv , 26t pinion, hr steel spur, hobby wing sc8 esc, on 4s...things a damn monster! Have some 17mm adapters and typhoon wheels hopefully in the mailbox Tonite. Have to figure out how to keep the nose down , at 45-50ish it comes up and wants to fly away! Bought the big bore aluminum shocks and they changed EVERYTHING.
@@Hats4everyone a BUNCH of stock ones lol. No wasnt bad about twisting shafts, i put a slightly bigger set of tires on it and it atw shafts, the typhon wheels were perfect and inly twisted or broke a shaft aftwr a hard landing where it bottomoed out and was still in throttle when it bottomed out. Tires usually broke loose quick enuff the shafts didnt have alot of stress on em
@@Hats4everyone i think that was the next step for me, i ended up selling the senton when i got my kaiju. Sorry wasnt more help lol. Gonna have to take the plunge if u keep breaking them tho
Weather definitely plays a huge role with plastics. Soaking parts up with WD-40 helps, but I expect more breakages in the winter. Just the way it is. 😎💪👊👊
Is this senton more fun than the typhon 3s in your opinion? I remember seeing a vid on your channel with the typhon 3s labeled as your favorite rc contender, but this senton looks like it may have taken that spot.
The Typhon is still a favorite Ripper 😍. Super agile and fast as all heck. This particular 4s build wins in the overall Fun factor category 😜🥰🥰. More laughs and raw fun than any rig I own. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Rich, running a similar 4s setup on my Typhon v3. Toasted a rear input gear on first street run. Are you running lower esc punch and/or backed off slipper? Let me know please. Thx
Damn 👀. Sorry to hear Matthew. I'm running max punch and run my slipper about 1/4-1/2 turn out from snug. Are you running bigger street tires 🤔. That could cause an issue potentially. The only time I wasted a rear input was when my front input bearing locked up. They get trashed from trapped moisture/water and probably dust over time. I pull my slipper assembly regularly to lube them up now. 😎💪👊👊
Hey Rich im still new to the arrma line but have you checked compatibility with the kraton 4s, same chassis, i was thinking maybe some of the parts can be replaced with kraton pars without doing a full conversion
Hey Brandon 🤗. Yes indeed. Lots of compatible parts between the 3 and 4s line. Basically very similar platforms. There's nothing besides the 4s slipper I could add to my Senton 4s to make it stronger or run any better though. Just has wider arms, links, and beefier hubs. 😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 have you added the center brace from the kraton already, its crazy how tough and fast the senton is, 4s its pointless to have one of the bigger trucks as its as fast and tough as most of them are
@@restinpiecesrc5528 no I haven't added the center brace because it doesn't need it and adds top weight. My Kraton 4s is easily as fast (probably faster) than my 6s rigs 👀. It has the weight to power advantage and handles Killer due to the inherent lateral flex. 👌ua-cam.com/video/S1Sopo41K0k/v-deo.html
how many front bumper brackets have you broken? ? ? senton front bumper config is crap. Saw a video that replaces the bumper and that H style bracket using 2 of the oval springs and I believe a kraton bumper. I keep looking and can't find it again. Stopped driving my sentons entirely for the sake of tired of buying a new front bumper kit weekly
Not sure how many I've busted since 2018 🤔. I switched to a Tbone Racing front bumper awhile ago. They went out of business awhile back, but you might find one on eBay or another aftermarket setup. Check for alternatives online. I agree the stock design was weak. www.etsy.com/listing/1127587032/arrma-senton-4x4-parts-front-bumper
Thanks so much Eddie 🤗. I definitely like the ARRMA 4s steel slipper. Works great on all the 3s rigs wether running 3 or 4s. If you're talking about the slipper chassis slit for letting dust and crap escape, yes!!! That's a wonderful way to extend the life of the slipper and motor bearings. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Your welcome bro..yea I have the 4s steel slipper clutch ordered and I'll be doing the chassis mod tomorrow..thanks a mill for the speedy reply 👍stay safe😋
How is that thing not broken. I’ve used my senton three times and it broke twice. One was a small bump into a tree (honestly not hard at all) and the second was just going straight on a paved road
I never had bearings issues on my v2 typhon, even ran in water, dirt, (mind you I don't take care of bearings, usually just water rise and some WD lmfao) never had any issues with any bearings though out my vehicle.
That's good you atleast rinsed and used WD 👍. It was designed for water displacement and acts as a short term lubricant. Not as good as bearing oil or Silicone Spray, but lots of guys have sworn by regular use of WD-40. I use it to clean bearings, CVD's, and axels mostly. 🍻
@@richduperbash2966 I got my v3 3s granite three weeks ago and it had destroyed two driveshafts. I now run it rwd till I get new driveshafts and I have loosen the slipper
Thanks for the reply my friend. Just got into the hobby back in November and dug in hard. Got some pretty nice stuff coming for the senton but love my notorious! Thanks again!
They're sold by RCJuice. Again I'm running the 3050kv. Here's the link.www.rcjuice.com/hobbystar-3670-4-pole-brushless-sensorless-motor-waterproof.html
Are you running a stock motor my senton has the 185 esc as well just running the 3s 5200mah 50c set esc at 9 on the punch and have a powerfully wheeling monster car as well put big bore shocks on pivot balls and duratrax lockup tires on. Can't wait try 4 & 5s lipos in it.
That bearing kit says v1 and v2 online so does that mean the bearings wont fit any of the v3 models? Also regarding that hole, I've heard the opposite and to cover it up so dirt and rocks DONT get in there and grind the teeth away? Is that only if its a plastic spur gear?
The bearing sizes haven't changed. They probably didn't update their website 🤔. Not sure which kit you're referring too though. The V3 bearings are now rubber shielded. Covering a chassis slit is a mistake. Pebbles and junk that enter a chassis bay should have an exit near the gears. I run a chassis slit on all my 3s rigs with plastic spur gears. Learned from experience it prevents the front motor bearing and slipper bearings from seizing up. Otherwise trapped dirt is ground into a fine dust that can't escape. 😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 Interesting! I wonder why arrma only put that slit on some of the rigs and not on all of them then lol? Literally 2 hours ago I just stripped the teeth on my plastic spur gear for the second time. I ate my words today haha
@@RUZTY1311 sorry to hear about your spur Brother 😝. I've been lucky to only strip maybe 2 in 2+ years. Have all the 3s rigs too. Both times my slipper bearings had seized up. I run my slipper 1/4-1/2 turn out from tight. This gives the it some slip but keeps the slipper pads from overheating. ARRMA has routinely borrowed ideas from us basher's 👍. Usually takes them 1-2 years to catch up. The tower to tower brace was a perfect example.
@@richduperbash2966 Yea I dont know whats going on lol the new spur gear lasted maybe 20 mins and i lost about 7 teeth. Maybe too LOOSE? Im baffled lol
@@richduperbash2966 Whats really odd is that my Granite has been just fine. Running it in the same dirt as the typhon and im having all the issues in the Typhon. It could be it collects more dirt than the granite due to not having big plastic walls to keep it out Im not sure lol
You certainly could, however, there are beefier input gears, slipper assembly, and a few small aluminum bits the brushless platform has over the Mega. I'd recommend going on the ARRMA Forum to read up on conversions guys have done. 😎💪👊👊www.arrmaforum.com/threads/senton-4x4-mega-brushless-conversion.25965/
What's the ESC and motor that is used in the Mean green. I have a senton 4x4 mega brushed and want to upgrade to brushless and get this exact same setup.
@@richduperbash2966 I see the BLX120 ESC and what cable does that use IC3, IC5 or EC3, EC5 to connect to the battery. And what would be a equal motor to the hobbystar one because it's not available. Sorry for all the questions I appreciate your time!
@@tact6929 I think it comes with either an IC5 or EC5 🤔. They're interchangeable/compatible. Most any 3670 size motor with similar kv should afford similar performance. Rocket might be one to consider. www.ebay.com/itm/SURPASS-Rocket-3670-3050-2280-1200-1850KV-Waterproof-Brushless-Motor-for-RC-Boat-/184330368814

@@SupercarAlex150 it's been a long time coming 😱. Stoked to have her back out again. 🍻😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 Newbie question you said it had good chassis slap, why is that good? Thx or what amount of slap is good...
@@ParcoUpchurch in general, the chassis should be able to bottom out off jumps and by hand without too much effort. This ensures that the shocks and control arms aren't overloaded. If you run really tall wheels, it's possible to raise the axels too high to allow proper chassis slap. That leads to busted arms and shock rod ends and can damage your shock shafts and pistons. Likewise, the stiffer your suspension set-up, the harder the forces are at all the connection points in the suspension and hubs. 🍻😎💪👊👊
The senton 3s is currently my only rc. I took it out not long ago and sent it a bit too hard that I have a crack in the plastic chassis
Hey, Arrma, I'm buying a 3s Senton PURELY because of this video.
might want to wait on that a bit. I can't run mine for more than about 5 min before it goes in LV cut. Horizon's answer is sending the ESC back to them for an update. 3.7v lipo cut seem silly to me considering what this is.
@@edgerat sorry about that, no worries, it's not my first rodeo, when something breaks the first thing that goes through my mind is, WOOOHOOO TIME TO UPGRADE. Truth be told I like building, tinkering and trying to bomb proof this stuff every bit as much as I like actually driving, flying etc...them. it's just part of the hobby.
@@Livlifetaistdeth same!!! Going with Castle Monster X, the truck base is pretty damn solid, just have to get better electronics.
@@edgerat you can't go wrong with a monster x. That's what I run in my Typhon and Outcast. I love Castle!

Dude I just discovered your channel! You def deserve way more subs!! Your RC content is insanely good!!
Thanks so much Chris 🤗. Truly appreciate that Brother. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Senton is an awesome truck. Fast as heck, tough as nails, and an absolute blast to drive. Looks so good flying through the air!
Couldn't agree more John 😱. The Senton is such a Killer value!!! 🍻😎💪👊👊
Rich I just wanted to thank you for all these awesome videos and tips. I finally got my 2nd kraton 8s put together with the hobbystar motor and all m2c goodies. Thanks for answering my millions of questions I had. You the man!
You're so welcome Josh 🤗. Congrats on your beefcake Kraton 8s 😍. Such a complete Tank with all the fixings 😱👍👍😎💪👊👊
Dude great tips! I have went thru so many motor bearings from that dust you were talking about in the motor mount! I was always trying to come up with a way to keep the crud out and could not come up with anything till now! Thanks so much!
Thanks so much Brent 🤗. Me too with the slipper and motor bearings😝. The chassis slit mod works Fantastic!!! Basically... problem solved 👍. Forgot who first shared that, but can verify first-hand it works. Happy bashing 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
I just got a typhon 3s that I’m turning into a senton “apparently 4s” now. Thanks rich for the great ideas.
Wow Rich I am blown away oh how durable and fast it is. Any setup tips on how to make it land better. this Friday I hit a 6-foot jump and the front diff stiped. But then today I replaced the diff and went to bash with some friends hit a 30-foot jump and survived. The 3s arrma cars are super tough and modifiable and without breaking the bank. Supper cool vid Rich cant wait to see more of this rig. Hope you and your family are doing great!
Thanks so much Brother 😜. I haven't had any diff issues with these 3&4s rigs. The 6s rigs definitely need shimming and more vigilance in terms of maintenance and not landing on throttle...etc. I still recommend using Mugen Seiki E0206 planetary shims and 2-3 Tekno #1222 crown gear side bearing shims. Appreciate the kind words my friend 😊. Hope all is well. 🍻👍👍😎💪👊👊
Wow Rich Always Got A New Animal On The Loose. Great Job On That Ripping Machine.Hope You Can Bring Out The Big Rock Soon.It Would Be Sick Seeing That Rig Again.Awsome Vid.Cant Wait For The Next One.
Thanks so much Javier 🤗. Sorry I missed this 👀. I'm actually pimping my Big Rock out as we speak. Don't want to spill the beans, but doing 2 different set-ups that will be interchangeable. One is more road based 😱. Should be fun to share either way. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Man thank you for all the tips brother💯😁 I just got the v3 senton and loving it out the box!!! But I like to upgrade my rcs because its fun😋 Awesome run with the senton and again thanks for sharing your tips and upgrades with us all!!
Thanks so much Josh 🤗. Congrats on your Senton 3s 😱. About a year ago, I met an older couple by chance while at my LHS who needed help picking out his and hers rigs for shredding their property. Basically wanted to race each other and make an impromptu track 😍. I felt 100% confident steering them to the Senton 3s 👍. Such a Killer fun, fast, and capable little Beast. Really appreciate your comment Brother. 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊

I have watched this vid like 4 times and I'm barely commenting. Rich I Love this set up with the buggy wheels! You have a mini Mohave!! This Senton is a total Beast. Your bashing skills are crazy! I'm going to do this conversion to a Redcat Blackout just cuz I love the look! Stay safe and Bash on from Colorado!!!
Thanks so much Ervin 😜. This rig is why I never grabbed a Mojave. Just don't feel like I need one already having this Ripper. She absolutely rips with the Lockups buggy wheels. Best wishes with your Blackout Brother 🤗. Sounds like a plan. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Seems like u and me r the only ones that like to send our senton 70ft plus love this lil truck..lmao neighbors come out like Omg that's an rc truck launch gotta get that tyhpon show em what a long jump really looks like!! Love your content
Thanks so very much Brother 🤗. It's incredible the punishment these rigs can take. The Senton and Typhon are such Mad fun!!! 🍻
Nice vid Rich. Thanks for mentioning the spur cutout. I've been preaching that on all my vids since way back when the Mega line was released. Best mod ever for the 3s/4s line.
Thanks so much Larry 🤗. The chassis slit is such a KILLER, effective solution to a frustrating problem. I was constantly trying to keep crap out of there and cleaning the damn box 🤣🤣. This mod was a breakthrough Brother 👊. Kudos to you if that was your post on the Forum 👍. It's worked brilliantly on my Typhon 3s and all my 3&4s rigs are getting the hole treatment. Happy bashing and thanks for sharing great tips!!!! 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
It looks so counter-intuitive! you'd think that even more debris would get in there with that slit....i'm about to do it right now to both my Senton 3s and Typhon 3s. does the high RPM act like a blower to evacuate all the dirt/sand/rocks?
would you please tell me your approximate dimensions on that slit?
@@tektronik74 ... It's nothing precise as long as you get it inline with the spur. The cutout is roughly 1" x 1/4"
@@tektronik74 I hear ya on it seeming counterintuitive. Truth is it works brilliantly for sparing the bearings and gears. Like Larry said, there's nothing exact about the cutout really. Mine is roughly 1/4" by 3/4" and works great. 🍻

@@richduperbash2966 Amazing 👏
Awesome Rips and bash on top of an awesome bench video brother Rich. Killer upgrades and tons of tips. Awesome over all Rundown of this sucker Beast! Totally agree with everything you've touched on. 3s line on 4s Power brought out a new animal attitude into her! Tough AF! The Fun factor is off the chain 🤣. She can cover her ground super quick! Love you setup brother. You definitely dialed her in just Right! Stay safe and bash on brother.
Thanks so much Brother Chris 😜. It was killing me leaving her on the bench for so long 😝. Bought that fresh body off Jenny's over a year ago 👀. Got busy with other rigs and she sat buried with spare parts and garage stuff. I happened upon an old vid and it lit that fire 🔥. So happy to finally dress her up better than ever 😍. Definitely as Fun as any rig I own Bro 😱🤣🤣. Had such a Killer time watching her fly and roll over the terrain at warp speed 😂. Really appreciate the kind words Brother 🤗🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
She's a rocket on 4s. Great Vid Rich.
Thanks so much Brother 😜. She truly is a little rocket 😱😎💪👊👊
Never a dull moment watching your vids. I swear you could make a box fly and still land upright (what ever side is up) Thx for sharing keep coming back LOL
Thanks so much Jeff 🤗. Had a Blast trying to control this wild Ripper 😱🍻😎💪👊👊
Those wheels look awesome on it, that contrast!
Thank you Brother 🤗. The Senton rips with those Duratrax buggy Lockups 😍
Rich as you know ive converted my with Arrma granite Wheels but am thinking of them wheels now and Shocks, great idea with the venting and venting for the spur gear ⚙ 😀 4s power is insane, still love your laughter 🥰🤣, I would love to see what speed you are doing 😀 amazing Basharoo and Jumps 👍😱👍, its so tough and it did take a hammering 🤜💥🤛 another Amazing video as always 👍🥰😎👍
Thanks so much Tony 🤗. She's an absolute riot running on 4s. 😱🤣🤣. It's near impossible to achieve top speeds until I rig a wheelie bar of some sort. She wants to kite upwards past 50-55mph 👀. Such a Killer fun platform as you know Brother 😍. The beating she can take is ridiculous 😂. The buggy Lockups work Fantastic on her. Lighter than the Granite wheels, but much faster overall. Really appreciate the kind words as always my friend 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
Awesome bash Rich that thing is a rocket😉 and the cool tip you give😁🙋♂️💪👊🤙👍👍
Thanks so much Brother Clarence 🤗. Hope to see you soon my friend. 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
Wow, that's some serious hang time!! Well done landing wheels down so many times.
Thanks so much my friend. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Wow... you ran the crap outta this car and it just kept coming back for more!!! Great video and keep them coming!!!
Thank you Brother 🤗
So I got the 17mm lock up, Sixpack tires and wheels. Holy heck! Ordered a couple gears to play with it on the track. Most definitely will be doing the other upgrades a bit later.
Killer video! I just picked up a v3 550 senton last week, and will be stepping it up to 4s capable very soon. Its been a blast to drive even in its slow stock form though.
I just did the same thing....
What drive shafts did u use?
@@Hats4everyone i havent had a chance to run it/break it since the swap so its still bone stock other than the mamba x 3200kv combo.
Looked like alot of fun!! I can't believe it took all that beating with no breakages!!
It was a Blast Bro 😱. She took a flogging and just wouldn't quit 👀😎💪👊👊
The Arrma Forum is great for great info! The shock part was so helpful to me! Great video. Great info.
Thanks so much Jessica 🤗. The Forum has a special place in my heart 😍. So many great people on there sharing and helping others. 😎💪👊👊
Float Much?
Dang Rich.... I think I counted about 10 seconds the whole video where 3-4 tires were on the ground. Was usually 2 or 1 wheel! 😳🔥🔥🔥
Thing is just lightning Plastastic.
I gotta mess with my sons Senton just haven't gotten around to it, the few minutes I have run it was a blast, just been messing with the bigger trucks so I understand looking past this little beast.
Fantastic bench breakdown of all the work and Hobo mods you have done.. I'm sure that's a great help to people and if I end up tweeking Jaxons's Senton (and you know I will) I have this video to refrence. Appreciate the tips Master 🙏 Rich 😂😎👍
Bro I was smiling this whole video... Just a hoot, glad you shared this! Not everything fun has to be 6 or 8s! Fun is what makes you smile!
Rock on Friend😁🙌
Thanks so much Brother Dennis 😜. I too have been focused on the bigger rigs this past year 🤗. It's easy to forget just how FUN and lightning quick these little guys are 👀. This was an easy conversion already having the parts on hand and such a complete hoot to bash 😱🤣🤣. Just couldn't contain the laughter 😂. It was Crazy cuz I had the entire place to myself too 👀. So awesome to go balls out with no worries. These rigs are so easy to wrench on 😍 and tough as nails. Truly appreciate the nice comment Brother 🤗👍👍😎💪👊👊
That thing is a screamer! I absolutely love my Outcast 4S, It's such a beast and like you said so easy to work on. Love your tips and great vids keep up the great content brother!
Thanks Brother 😁. The 3&4s line are so underrated. Just a raw joy to rip around. Happy bashing. 😎💪👊👊
Awesome bashing,amazing RC and driving skills
Thanks so much Brother 😜. Nice to get the 3&4s rigs back out. Long overdue. 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
Was recommended by Kevin talbot on his center diff mod reference you about the crusher chassis for the K5. Three minutes into this vid I’m subscribed bcs of the content of the build and the literature.
Wow, for a moment I thought Arrma had blessed us with a new 4S rig. Oh well, the Senton didn't move me much when I first saw it. At my shop they only had a 30MPH one and the new Granite was a 50MPH 3S so I went for it. I wish Arrma would make a 4S truck like the Senton, it would rock. Great Video what an upgrade. Arrma needs to see it and say "what an Idea" then just make it. I'd throw my money at it for sure.
Thanks so much Harry 🤗. My hope is to motivate ARRMA by example. They do watch and get ideas from us basher's 👍. I think it comes down to appeal. I'd argue a high powered 1/10 4s RTR would be very popular. Even a 4s based Infraction or Felony would be a hit. Not everyone wants to pay $600+ to haul ass and have fun. While it's great to have different scale options, let's not forget the raw fun factor of lighter, 1/10 platforms. 🍻👍👍😎💪👊👊
Maybe look into taking the kraton4s and converting it to a senton using the upgraded parts they have like rpm and hot racing, same chassis and that way you can keep the chassis brace
I enjoyed the cool video 🤩 👍short-course truck flying in the sky.😎👊
Thanks Brother 🤗. Jumping a short-course is always a bit dicey 😱🤣🤣😎💪👊👊
I bought a v3 and wanted to do the same thing to it. Was considering taking it back because I didn't know how would turn out. But not anymore more, I'm keeping it. Thanks!
Congrats Brother 😱. ARRMA put some great touches on the latest versions 👀. Thank goodness they junked the STX2 remote too. Make the most of it and enjoy!!! 😎💪👊👊
Absolutely love my Senton. Can't say anything wrong about it. Awesome session bro! 👍🏼👌🏽🥳
Thanks so much Brother 😜. I can't fault this rig either. ARRMA did a Fantastic job with it. Funny thing is I wasn't interested in it at all when it first released 👀. Man was I wrong. 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
That thing looks like one uncontrollable monster on 4s!!! But I can't tell you how fun that looked. Love watching you beat your rigs up so I don't have to do the same to mine 🤣🤣 keep on keeping on brother Rich 🤘🤘
Thanks so much Brother 🤗. She truly is a challenging little monster 🤣🤣. I realized about midway through I should probably use more tact with the throttle 😱.

These Sentons are so sick
You know how to build a tank of an RC. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Maybe a little late reaction, but first really awesome video👊
Lately we bought the senton 3s, but you jump likes it's nothing and it seems that you have no bothered of the parachute effect, how comes that?
When we jump the body takes so much wind under. No jumps like you, but jumps using of landscape.
Any tips may welcome 🙂
Thanks in advance
Thanks my friend 🤗. The truck will always parachute to some degree with the large SCT body, but the effect is lessened some running a heavier motor and 4s Lipo. You can vent the rear portion of the body with a body reamer to allow more air flow 🤔. That will decrease parachuting to some degree anyways. 🍻😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 Thanks, that's maybe a good idea to vent the body, so we gonna try that. It's already ruined anyway at the rear.
And upgrade to 4S was already on our list 😀
Thanks
HOLY BEAST MODE!!! LMAO. Thanks for another great video Rich!! Also, I switched my Typhon over fron 3 to 4s. Could you recommend what a good gear weight would be for the front and rear gearbox?
Thanks so much Brother 😜. I've kept the diffs stock, but have heard guys say they liked 20-30k front and rear. I'll have to experiment more with this 4s setup 😍. Your Typhon must haul ass 😱👌👌😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 Ohhh man, the thing rips!!! lol
Those buggy tires hook great..I run the same but in ST form
I run DSM in a few of my rigs..Might even be better than Fast Eddie's..She might need some vent holes and louvers cut into the body to help with parachuting..She's screaming!
I luv the truck thx for sharing.
Hi Rich great video as always with amazing jumps! 😃 how did you solve the slipper clutch screw problem that become loose everytime?....I have a kraton 4s. Thanks
Thanks so much Claudio 🤗. This slipper was brand new. If one starts coming loose, I just add threadlock to the set screw. 👍👍😎💪👊👊

Got a heavy ass modded out Senton that's going 4s soon love the video man
Thanks Brother 🤗. This platform is a Blast on 4s. 🍻
Rich, you are the Master of overpowering rigs 😮 Jesus, why even mounting the front wheels ? 😂 On 4S the rig is flying over the ground. I love my Granite 3S also very much. I have to upgrade the shocks like you to 6S shocks because I bend the shafts all the time even on good landings. Very impressive that the plastic Ring + Pinion gears take the power so well. BTW: I never broke one of the drive shafts, so Team-A is doing better then Team-T. 😘😘😘 Stay healthy and safe!
Thanks so much Kimberly 😍. This setup makes it quite challenging to keep the wheels down 😂. So much fun though and tough as nails 👀. The 1/8 Lockups feel perfect. The 6s shocks work great with the right tuning and springs. Lots of good upgrade options out there fortunately 🙂. The diffs and center driveshaft are brilliant. The 1.5 mod ring and pinion are meshed perfectly by design. These 3s rigs have just the right amount of flex for hard hits. So happy to have the Senton back out again 🤗. Thanks for your comment as always my Basherqueen 😘😘😎💪👊👊
Crazy fun with 4s, my granite is awesome. Great bash, always fun to get run time.

Man i love seeing a short course pull off backflips. She absolutely screams. Do the bigger hexed duratrax hex hold up well.ive stripped out bout ever set ive ever had at least 1 tires he but they were all a 12mm hex very curious bout thebigger hexes especially now that they have some belted tires available. The st's look great like they get great grip. Super awesome tips on the 3s 4s line. Ive done a few mods myself like make a rock guard for the front of the chassis where the steering feeds through and a battery blank with bigger straps for running longer batteries. I really appreciate all your tips and advice.thanks for another great video man stay safe 🍻🍻🍻🍻🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks so much Nick 🤗. 12mm hexs are simply too small for bigger power. That's the main reason I convert to 17mm. I never strip them so long as the wheel nuts are cranked down properly, plus you have way more wheel options available then with the stock 14mm. The 1/8 Lockup buggy tires feel perfect on this setup. Props to you for your mods Brother 👍. That's the great part about customizing these rigs. 🍻😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 you mentioned having the blx185 in your kraton 4s....have you tried it on 6s?
@@nickteele169 no I haven't. Only because it's blazing fast already and you can only get so much power to the ground in the dirt. It would probably be Crazy though, especially in the street 😱
Wow that's a beatin, 6s Senton was my first Arrma!
i just got a kraton 6s. havent even done massive airs and have had nothing but breakages... kinda wish i got something like this now
So sorry to hear that Brother 😔. The 6s rigs have Killer potential with the right upgrades. The EXB was a step in the right direction. Either way, the 3s/4s definitely has it's place and is underrated for performance and durability. 🍻😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 thanks man. My kraton 6s is making a grinding noise, and it’s getting worse. I checked the diffs and nothing was broken. Some people say the input gears, but I’m not sure how to tell if they are striped. Any tips?
@@colter7300 often there will be a row of slightly flattened teeth on the crown or "ring" gear. The input gears can become pitted, but usually break teeth off when they fail and make a clicking sound when going slow. They can sometimes look fine at first glance. Best bet is to remove and inspect all gears (and bearings) closely and compare them with new gears. Shimming the crown gear side bearing with two Tekno #1222 shims is something I highly recommend to keep a tighter mesh between the crown and input gears. Lastly, make sure to use a quality marine grease and be sure the diff case itself is not cracked or stripped. 🍻😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 thanks so much! I originally looked at the gears and saw nothing wrong with them, but after looking closely i can see a few teeth grounded down a bit!
Also, how often do you have diff issues, cause i've already snapped a gear in half and broke gaskets and i've had mine around 3 weeks now and haven't gotten through a full pack yet....Thanks man for being so helpful 😎
@@colter7300 I don't have diff issues very often to be honest, especially with them shimmed. The planetary gears and/or set pins can break on occasion, but it's pretty infrequent. Just don't run huge heavy wheels or land on the throttle. Gears need time to transfer power. They don't like sudden harsh stops...etc. I try to use momentum and keep the wheels spinning at the pace of the truck as best as possible. 🍻
Nice Rich love it should I get me a senton to have fun with🤔👊
Thanks Kizzel 🤗. These rigs are a Blast Brother 😱. So light, capable, and easy to wrench on 🍻😎💪👊👊
0:24 - To the moon, batman!!
another awesome video, Killer as always brother.
Thanks so much Brother Phil 🤗👍👍😎💪👊👊
Just put metal tape below the opening in the slipper housing to keep the dirt out since that's where it enters.
I've tried that too. You can prolong the inevitable or find an answer to the problem. I had to try the chassis slit to see for myself. It works. No more retained dust, dirt, or moisture in the slipper box. No more fouled motor or slipper bearings.
Probably helps with the durability it being so light and most stuff is plastic. Awesome bash man..you kicked the ***t out of it...and it came back begging for more...hahaha🚀💥😂👍
For sure Brother 🤗. She weighs less than 7lbs and flexes instead of breaks 😱. I'm amazed the beating these rigs can handle. Such a great overall platform. Just a different kinda spastic fun than the 6s rigs. 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊

I LOVE my senton, I run a hobby star 550 3500kv , 26t pinion, hr steel spur, hobby wing sc8 esc, on 4s...things a damn monster! Have some 17mm adapters and typhoon wheels hopefully in the mailbox Tonite. Have to figure out how to keep the nose down , at 45-50ish it comes up and wants to fly away! Bought the big bore aluminum shocks and they changed EVERYTHING.
What drive shafts did u use?
@@Hats4everyone a BUNCH of stock ones lol. No wasnt bad about twisting shafts, i put a slightly bigger set of tires on it and it atw shafts, the typhon wheels were perfect and inly twisted or broke a shaft aftwr a hard landing where it bottomoed out and was still in throttle when it bottomed out. Tires usually broke loose quick enuff the shafts didnt have alot of stress on em
I have spent a lot on different shafts. I can't find any that will hold up
Last option is 70 bucks for the hot racing ones
@@Hats4everyone i think that was the next step for me, i ended up selling the senton when i got my kaiju. Sorry wasnt more help lol. Gonna have to take the plunge if u keep breaking them tho
I'm buying the m2c motor mount and Layla from m2c says that it covers ur motor from dirt and debris
Been waiting for this beauty 🙏
Me too James 🤗. She sat for WAY too long. 🍻😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 dude it's an animal 🤣🤣 funniest thing I've watched for a while
I think the hot weather must save you loads of breakages of plastic parts. In places where it's colder the cars break all the time.
Weather definitely plays a huge role with plastics. Soaking parts up with WD-40 helps, but I expect more breakages in the winter. Just the way it is. 😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 absolutely! Even here in summer I break way less than winter
Is this senton more fun than the typhon 3s in your opinion? I remember seeing a vid on your channel with the typhon 3s labeled as your favorite rc contender, but this senton looks like it may have taken that spot.
The Typhon is still a favorite Ripper 😍. Super agile and fast as all heck. This particular 4s build wins in the overall Fun factor category 😜🥰🥰. More laughs and raw fun than any rig I own. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Wheelie champion! Awesome!
Thanks so much Brother 😜. She could use a legit wheelie bar 😂😎💪👊👊
Rich, running a similar 4s setup on my Typhon v3. Toasted a rear input gear on first street run. Are you running lower esc punch and/or backed off slipper? Let me know please. Thx
Damn 👀. Sorry to hear Matthew. I'm running max punch and run my slipper about 1/4-1/2 turn out from snug. Are you running bigger street tires 🤔. That could cause an issue potentially. The only time I wasted a rear input was when my front input bearing locked up. They get trashed from trapped moisture/water and probably dust over time. I pull my slipper assembly regularly to lube them up now. 😎💪👊👊
Hey Rich im still new to the arrma line but have you checked compatibility with the kraton 4s, same chassis, i was thinking maybe some of the parts can be replaced with kraton pars without doing a full conversion
Hey Brandon 🤗. Yes indeed. Lots of compatible parts between the 3 and 4s line. Basically very similar platforms. There's nothing besides the 4s slipper I could add to my Senton 4s to make it stronger or run any better though. Just has wider arms, links, and beefier hubs. 😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 have you added the center brace from the kraton already, its crazy how tough and fast the senton is, 4s its pointless to have one of the bigger trucks as its as fast and tough as most of them are
@@restinpiecesrc5528 no I haven't added the center brace because it doesn't need it and adds top weight. My Kraton 4s is easily as fast (probably faster) than my 6s rigs 👀. It has the weight to power advantage and handles Killer due to the inherent lateral flex. 👌ua-cam.com/video/S1Sopo41K0k/v-deo.html
@@richduperbash2966 i see that, its a proven truck
that rc car sure is a basher but these vids keep comin like bangers
Hey wutsup Rich, do u have to use the balance plug when u charge ur battery on a smart charger??
Yes indeed Brother 👊. The Smart charger is awesome, but you still need your balance plugs. 🍻
how many front bumper brackets have you broken? ? ? senton front bumper config is crap. Saw a video that replaces the bumper and that H style bracket using 2 of the oval springs and I believe a kraton bumper. I keep looking and can't find it again. Stopped driving my sentons entirely for the sake of tired of buying a new front bumper kit weekly
Not sure how many I've busted since 2018 🤔. I switched to a Tbone Racing front bumper awhile ago. They went out of business awhile back, but you might find one on eBay or another aftermarket setup. Check for alternatives online. I agree the stock design was weak. www.etsy.com/listing/1127587032/arrma-senton-4x4-parts-front-bumper
@@richduperbash2966 thanks for the tip, I'll see if I can find one n test it out. I'm so tired of Arrma's crappy front bumper braces.
Hi Rich absolutely love your vids keep up the good work the tips are unreal..just wondering would the slipper mod be good for the granite blx 3s
Thanks so much Eddie 🤗. I definitely like the ARRMA 4s steel slipper. Works great on all the 3s rigs wether running 3 or 4s. If you're talking about the slipper chassis slit for letting dust and crap escape, yes!!! That's a wonderful way to extend the life of the slipper and motor bearings. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Your welcome bro..yea I have the 4s steel slipper clutch ordered and I'll be doing the chassis mod tomorrow..thanks a mill for the speedy reply 👍stay safe😋
@@eddiefitzgerald241 you bet Brother 👊. That's awesome!!!!
Nice. Mr. Bash!
How is that thing not broken. I’ve used my senton three times and it broke twice. One was a small bump into a tree (honestly not hard at all) and the second was just going straight on a paved road
Code name, "The Honey Badger" . 😁
LMAO 😂👍👍😎💪👊👊
Yup down with that
The honey basher
@@brysonkuhn3290 I like that even better lol!!
I never had bearings issues on my v2 typhon, even ran in water, dirt, (mind you I don't take care of bearings, usually just water rise and some WD lmfao) never had any issues with any bearings though out my vehicle.
That's good you atleast rinsed and used WD 👍. It was designed for water displacement and acts as a short term lubricant. Not as good as bearing oil or Silicone Spray, but lots of guys have sworn by regular use of WD-40. I use it to clean bearings, CVD's, and axels mostly. 🍻
With a good enough battery this could probably cross the Atlantic. 😄
that bad boy runs👍🏽
Yeah she's become one of my favorite rigs 😍. Just a Blast to Rip around Brother 🍻😎💪👊👊
Its a blast some men don't know what fun there missing out on stay warm my rc friend
Can you run the stock version with 4S battery?
Do you use metal driveshafts?
No I don't. Never needed them or the extra rotational mass. Stockers work fine for me. 😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 I got my v3 3s granite three weeks ago and it had destroyed two driveshafts. I now run it rwd till I get new driveshafts and I have loosen the slipper
I will buy the metal driveshafts from gpm
I just got a senton going to put on tyohon shocks. But did you change any if the cdvs or driveshafts for it to ha die the 4s power?
I'm still running stock CVDs. Overall, I think they're plenty durable. Just have to be reasonable and not land jumps on hard throttle...etc. 😎💪👊👊
Thanks for the reply my friend. Just got into the hobby back in November and dug in hard. Got some pretty nice stuff coming for the senton but love my notorious! Thanks again!
If you care your one of the main reasons I got into it. I enjoy the hell out of your vids and all the info you provide. Keep bashing on!
@@michaellind3626 truly appreciate that Brother 🤗
Had a quick question. What ESC did you use for the senton build. I found a great brick for the spectrum 150a but not sure if it'll fit lol
I got one of these after I saw you did your first bash with it and pulled off a barrel roll
Hey Rich, where can I find the motor your using?
They're sold by RCJuice. Again I'm running the 3050kv. Here's the link.www.rcjuice.com/hobbystar-3670-4-pole-brushless-sensorless-motor-waterproof.html
@@richduperbash2966 Thank you! the spectrum 1900kv motor I ordered is on backorder for like 2 weeks. But I am 100% sure this motor is better!
I put the blx185 on my senton with wide arms from the typhon 3s but 6s is insane 😳 it can handle
Are you running a stock motor my senton has the 185 esc as well just running the 3s 5200mah 50c set esc at 9 on the punch and have a powerfully wheeling monster car as well put big bore shocks on pivot balls and duratrax lockup tires on. Can't wait try 4 & 5s lipos in it.
That bearing kit says v1 and v2 online so does that mean the bearings wont fit any of the v3 models?
Also regarding that hole, I've heard the opposite and to cover it up so dirt and rocks DONT get in there and grind the teeth away? Is that only if its a plastic spur gear?
The bearing sizes haven't changed. They probably didn't update their website 🤔. Not sure which kit you're referring too though. The V3 bearings are now rubber shielded. Covering a chassis slit is a mistake. Pebbles and junk that enter a chassis bay should have an exit near the gears. I run a chassis slit on all my 3s rigs with plastic spur gears. Learned from experience it prevents the front motor bearing and slipper bearings from seizing up. Otherwise trapped dirt is ground into a fine dust that can't escape. 😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 Interesting! I wonder why arrma only put that slit on some of the rigs and not on all of them then lol? Literally 2 hours ago I just stripped the teeth on my plastic spur gear for the second time. I ate my words today haha
@@RUZTY1311 sorry to hear about your spur Brother 😝. I've been lucky to only strip maybe 2 in 2+ years. Have all the 3s rigs too. Both times my slipper bearings had seized up. I run my slipper 1/4-1/2 turn out from tight. This gives the it some slip but keeps the slipper pads from overheating. ARRMA has routinely borrowed ideas from us basher's 👍. Usually takes them 1-2 years to catch up. The tower to tower brace was a perfect example.
@@richduperbash2966 Yea I dont know whats going on lol the new spur gear lasted maybe 20 mins and i lost about 7 teeth. Maybe too LOOSE? Im baffled lol
@@richduperbash2966 Whats really odd is that my Granite has been just fine. Running it in the same dirt as the typhon and im having all the issues in the Typhon. It could be it collects more dirt than the granite due to not having big plastic walls to keep it out Im not sure lol
Wondering if you could covert a Senton v3 Mega 550 to this.
You certainly could, however, there are beefier input gears, slipper assembly, and a few small aluminum bits the brushless platform has over the Mega. I'd recommend going on the ARRMA Forum to read up on conversions guys have done. 😎💪👊👊www.arrmaforum.com/threads/senton-4x4-mega-brushless-conversion.25965/
An SCT that wheelies? Thats crazy!
What's the ESC and motor that is used in the Mean green. I have a senton 4x4 mega brushed and want to upgrade to brushless and get this exact same setup.
I'm running the BLX120 ESC and Hobbystar 3670 3050kv motor from RCJuice with a 20T pinion. 🍻😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 I see the BLX120 ESC and what cable does that use IC3, IC5 or EC3, EC5 to connect to the battery. And what would be a equal motor to the hobbystar one because it's not available. Sorry for all the questions I appreciate your time!
@@tact6929 I think it comes with either an IC5 or EC5 🤔. They're interchangeable/compatible. Most any 3670 size motor with similar kv should afford similar performance. Rocket might be one to consider. www.ebay.com/itm/SURPASS-Rocket-3670-3050-2280-1200-1850KV-Waterproof-Brushless-Motor-for-RC-Boat-/184330368814
@@richduperbash2966 oh okay and I can use the rocket motor even though it says it’s for a rc boat right?
@@tact6929 ohhhh crap 🤣. Search Rocket for the non boat motors. Think I linked you to the wrong motor subset. 😝
