I just got mine for Christmas, super excited. I ordered the 18 and 20 tooth pinion. I also ordered some Duratrax Banditos for some street runs and the mc2 17mm adapters just to give me some tire options. Great video, just subbed. Thanks and Merry Christmas 👍🏻🍻
i started with a granite mega 4x4 and for my bday i got myself the big rock! didn't really like how it looked with the stock tires either.. so i put the granite ones on and it turned into a whole other beast! i love it.
@@fxrc3086 i broke my big rock yesterday 🤣and i was rewatching your video right now for upgrades! went down the crawler rabbit hole so i wasn't out bashing. took it out, front right arm clipped a rock and there she went, drive shaft, arm, shock cap..
I've had my BRCC for about 7 months. I LOVE it!! I have put Amazon special 1/8 scale shocks on, and 18t pinion. Other than that all stock and she takes an absolute beating!! I'm definitely going to look into those 17mm adapters and better tires! Sweet choice on the Badlands! Great tires!!👍👍
@@fxrc3086 just ordered a big rock v3, did you ever have problems with wheels coming detached during runs? i saw another video of a guy who said it was an issue with the V3s after so many runs
I love this truck ! 3 years and still going strong with minimal repairs or upgrades ! And very easy to work on . Unlike the Big Rock 6s which is an outstanding Truck but quite expensive and IMO not as user friendly as the Big Rock 4x4 BLX 3s . Over all Arrma makes a great truck and it just boils down to having fun with whatever you choose . P.S. I will give you one piece of solid advice with this truck and that is to put a better steering servo on it because these are not crafted well at all . Enjoy !
My take is that if the truck can take a beating within reason and holds up well with minimal cost to maintain resulting in more time having fun than working on it then I'm all in !! After all , things are going to break on any basher but if you can live without a better looking part that costs less and lasts , it 's the smart thing to do . IMO
your right it is just fine the way it comes. But hey i did the hot racing to mine too and love it !! the BRCC is a def beast your gonna have fun with it. it feels light to drive but def tough !! i def enjoy tuning into your channel man!!! Thx putting down the work !!!
Yeah i can understand where u coming from, i recently got into hobby being last rc i had was when i was 9yrs old was tyco 9.6v , bought 2 stampede for me and my son surprisingly he didn't really care for it, but dad was hooked after dumping tons of money in upgrades/learning what works and doesn't, my wife bought me the original kaiju and at first felt real clumpsy but wasnt use to size know i ive gotten few more 1/8 scales and look at 1/10 and cant see any fun with smaller sizes,however they take a real beating out the box, where bigger truck with incredible speeds break real easy and aint cheap on modification cost or isnt as many options for upgrades depending on platform, but i do like either big rock or granite 4x4 as there pretty tough and mod options but kinda stuck on team corally sketer? Whatever makes a smile i suppose all that matters
Thank you...Im not surprised the stock shocks are a little cheap... I did end up putting spacers in there to take up the slop... I didn't like it either. It's all been holding up nicely.
"just fine the way it is." You said a mouth full there. When you start replacing plastic parts for metal ones you just change which part is going to break in a crash. I understand though, it's so tempting.
I wouldnt say it looks cheap or cheaply made.. Have you ever seen what a stampede or slash look like bone stock? Especially when they are the brushed version which cost as much as the big rock. This look very well made I believe. I own one of these a Cen colossus and a stampede
I wouldn't say cheaply made either. I would say however its made with a lower price point in mind... but all and all it's been a good little truck and on 4s it's alot of fun. 👍👍
There junk don't buy. I don't get I run with those with out breaking it. I have a box of parts to keep them running. My big rock I only keep a replacement spur gear haven't need it yet.
I think the stock shock are the worst thing. But that's an expensive upgrade. The M2c parts are nice and will allow you to run 17mm hex weels. Not sure how far you want to take it however. It's been a really fun truck and on 4s it's insane but it wouldn't be my first choice for alot of expensive upgrades. With all the $$ I have in mine I could have bought something better 😵💫 but I geuss that's the nature of the beast 👍👍
Shocks were my first upgrade, on my second run 3 of the shock shafts pulled out of the shock ends. And once it happens it happens over and over again. Definitely not a fan of the stock shocks.
@@treysals I went with a set of arrma typhon 6s shocks. You can get a complete built set of 4 on Ebay. There a little bit pricey compared to the price of the bigrock but they work Amazing👍👍
@@treysals I used these, i actually broke one of the shock shafts the other day, you can find new ones on banggood. You'll wanna get the #8005 shock shafts. Also put a heavier weight in them. Start with 50weight.

Can't find those shocks anywhere. Do you have a link to where you got yours? Also, had the first breakage on mine. Ran into a tree and cracked the chassis. 😄. That tree came out of nowhere.
Those dam trees can be fast some times...lol... I got the shocks on EBay... they strip down the cars and sell the parts.. sometimes its a wait till they came into stock... another way would be straight from arrma but thats going to be pricey...
My motor mount cracked after 5 minutes and only a couple of curb hops. The motor also shifted. My first impression isn't so good. Was expecting it to handle a bit more than a curb jump. Ordered replacement parts, but, not sure I'll be keeping it..
Oh dang. I've had mine for about 8 months and I've launched it like crazy, crashed into a tree, rolled it, lawn darted it, and only thing I've had to replace is the spur gear and the rear outer differential gear
If you don't like smaller why buy it. V 3 is tough I beat the snot out of mine it takes it stock. I've had some nasty wrecks it keeps going. We have 2 what a blast put 26 bucks in repairs and it was user error 🤣🤣🤣😔👍 bash on bro
These are about 50 a set of 2 and you'll need to upgrade to 17mm weel hex. However, I did this awhile ago and there might be good aftermarket tires in the stock 14mm hex size now and worth looking into.
@@fxrc3086 I re-watched your video a 2nd time and didn't realize you made an onscreen correction when referring to the hex as 12mm so my bad I didn't catch that the first time ,but yea it's more or less subjective, personally Ive never had any issue with 14mm hexes other than wheel selections a bit thinner than say 12mm ,However I like the fact Arrma jumps up to 14mm even on the smaller 10th scale stuff it just shows there durability compared to the others ,but either way you can't go wrong 17mm is all the more protection I guess. 👍🏼💯
Great video man! Do u think this is better than Traxxas Maxx 4s taking the price into account or u consider the extra money for the Maxx is justified? I was thinking about both of them but the price of Maxx...I think it's too much for a 1/10.... but I don't want to feel the big rock is just not enough once I've bought it instead of the Maxx....
Thank you. This is a fun truck out of the box but I do think the maxx is better. They both have alot of plastic but the maxxs drive train is metal giving u alot more room to grow into the hobby. U would spend more upgrading the bigrock just to get it in line with the maxx. Having said all that they are very different trucks. The maxx is a true monster truck and the rock is truggyish. If I could only have one I would take the Maxx anyday. I hope this helps👍👍
I also think the team corally skeeter should be something to consider. The value is better then the maxx and the electronic are way better which is traxxas biggest flaw I think. However nobody can beet traxxas parts support. Just something to think about🤔👍👍
@@TheAwflores hahaha I don't take makes into account. Only models. I mean, I'd never go for a Revo because I know it breaks easily (I've known people breaking it every 2 batteries). But neither would I go for a Kraton of I don't want to upgrade whatever I buy. That's why I'm interested in the Maxx: plenty of people saying it's the toughest out of the box, it's really funny with all those wheelies, it's very fast and, if something breaks, it will be cheaper to fix than a 6s arrma. The only thing that makes me keep on doubting is the fact that, apparently, the ESC breaks easily. Just looking for the most straightforward thing because I can fix these things but I prefere investing my time on bashing. I've also been thinking about a mojave or even a Typhon as they're apparently the toughest 6s arrma's. Even with that, I love wheelies and big wheels as the main surface I'm planning to run on is grass. Honestly, I'll probably go for a Maxx once the green one is back in stock here in UK. Feel free to try to convince me with arguments and not fanboy stuff such as "Traxxas sucks and arrma is great"🙂
@@winstonsmith9619 you've got the right idea my friend. I really think the maxx is the way to go. Super tough out of the box and if u need to swap out the ESC that's not that bad 👍👍
There not too heavy for the stock system. You either have to change the 14mm hex for a 17mm hex like the one from M2C racing or u can get 14mm hex hubs for the proline raid weels
Too much repeat negativity for the first 5 min and too much metal means more points for breakage. Keep as much plastic as you can. It absorbs soooo much more.

"just fine the way it is." You said a mouth full there. When you start replacing plastic parts for metal ones you just change which part is going to break in a crash. I understand though, it's so tempting.
One of this trucks strengths is that its so light even with alittle aluminum goodies. Very rugged and haven't broken anything yet👍👍
And adding metal adds weight, you certainly don't want more in the front.. but can be beneficial in the rear like with a Baja Rey 1/10.
That’s why nobody will remember your name
