Great video ... Excited to have this SCT waiting for me under the tree. I'll be putting a mild brushless in mine. The innovations all around have me psyched to play with this platform. Well done Arrma!
Larrys4227 Why a mild brushless? I installed a Hobby Wing ESC/motor combo (4300 kv), a new 27 tooth pinion gear and a 100C 2S battery. The thing absolutely screams! It’s a blast. You can’t jump on the throttle all at once or it will torque roll. That’s how fast it is now. Anyway, if you like to go fast, don’t go mild on the motor upgrade.
No this does 19 to 20 mph out of the box on 2s lipo and the slash does 35+ easy on the stock Titan motor I know I have one lol and I upgraded the motor to brushless but the Titan motor is one of the best brushed motors I've ever used.
I got this for my 6 yr old son for Christmas. He (we) love it a lot!! I'm just trying to get some idea of what the cleaning schedule is for this truck. How often should I pull off the motor assembly and flush it out? We drive on the street and the yard with some sandy areas. Thanks for a great vid.
👍👍👍Nice and complete review. What is you opinion of th redcat compared to the Senton? I can get a brushless redcat for the brushed senton...i would love to read your comments thanks!
i ended up snapping a axle, the camber arms, a lower control arm, burnt out two of those brushed motors and broke the steering servo, and the frame. but the front bash bar is okay ahahha i had to upgrade the steering servo the power controller and the motor and the spur gear because i stripped my spur gear with the hobby wing brushless motor that i put onto it rn im running nimh battery 5000Mah but im gonna change them to lipo batteries
I have a question I have one of those short course trucks ARRMA senton mega 4x4 I know the wheels are 14mm how do I change them to 17mm any information will be helpful thank you
I'm considering this as a gift for my 8 year old nephew, We've tried to get him into crawlers but he just wants to go fast. Do you think this is too large of a rig for someone his age? Thanks for the videos!
The truck will top out around 20mph, out of the box. The nickel pack will do well, but top speed will decrease as the battery is used ... Typical of NiMH. 2s lipo will be constant until just before LVC. So looking forward to unwrapping this at Christmas.
So if I’ve decided to go electric how do I determine weather I get the “lipo” or the standard nickel battery? Is it best to go with one that can do both or upgrade later? And unless it’s a Harley I am NOT mechanically inclined lol
Idk if you went ahead and picked one up. but I just picked this one up wensday great price it is set up for nimh 2s and 3s it is easy to set it for eaither lipo or nimh. when I bought it I bought a 2s and a lipo charger only because my local hobby store had a deal going on if you bought a RC get 20 off battery so he'll why not. in my opinion the trucks pretty quick out the box with provided battery but with the 2s lipo I bought so much quicker I love this truck. I would not recommend this truck to a newbie no offense. But I have yet to take anything apart to inspect so idk how hard it is to work on if your looking for an electric rc in general of any kind may I suggest a helion rock rider brushed or brushles it's extremely fun to drive and extremely easy to work on thought about the 15th run I had to change the servo and the 20th I had to change the motor I got the servo on Amazon and the motor from my hobby store go with the Traxxas Titan 12 turn it will speed it up alot and I got a simple metal gear 20 kg servo from Amazon. But I also did upgrade the chasis plate to just because I wanted to though. Hope this gives you an invite in what to get
Hi, i purchase a Senton 6S for Me and a Senton Mega 4X4 for my son On our 1st run, and then the 2nd this morning, the Mega 4X4 run for 20 minutes approximatively and then doesn't want to go forward or brake/reverse, the servo is still working i can turn the wheels right and left. i thought it was a battery problem, but with a fully charged battery the truck run for 10 seconds and then it happens again. I read on the internet that Senton Mega 4X4 have some issues on its esc. I would like to have a brand new car/ESC for my little boy who is so disappointed to see its brand new truck out of order each time he tries to runs it :( ps : my 6S is a beast :) any idea about that problem ? thanks !!
Its a good car but the rocks getting hung up in the steering is a real problem. My drive way is gravel and I cant run this car in my own drive way. It will get hung up every time I run it. SUCKS! Oh and the rubber body clip tethers are cool but don't use them to pull the clips they will snap right into. In the dirt or grass its a beast, handles nice. My Losi 2wd short coarse truck is just a tic faster.
Had this, It was a pretty cool machine until I upgraded to Brushless and Lipo, used a 2800kv motor sensorless with ESC, Ran a 3s Lipo and shredded the diff gears and snapped several and I mean SEVERAL, drive shafts.
Thanks! I'm trying to upgrade my 2 sentons to brushless and your videos are always inspiring!
Nice work, you are a good presenter. That is a well designed truck, I am going to get one. Thanks!

It is a pretty cool design. Our running video will be up soon.

Nice work, Greg. Keep em comin!
Thanks for watching Steve Moon !
Great video and I talked to Santa and told him I WANT one for Christmas with a 15t pinion!!! LOL Thanks..........................
Defiantly an awesome truck
Thanks for watching Roy and Chantilly Northcutt !
Just got one of these this past weekend.. Like it better then the Slash BUT it has a lot less aftermarket stuff then the Traxxas is all...
Would this be better than the Traxxas Slash 4/4
No this does 19 to 20 mph out of the box on 2s lipo and the slash does 35+ easy on the stock Titan motor I know I have one lol and I upgraded the motor to brushless but the Titan motor is one of the best brushed motors I've ever used.
@@philthyco1 35 is what I get with 2s but with brushless. LOL
Sorry it says 30+ on the box so that means probably 20 max lol, you're all right calm down RC experts.
@@philthyco1 ^
triangleswinger RC mine does 22

Awesome car. Great review. Keep it up. Looking forward for more interesting videos. 👍
great vid man keep it up!
Thanks for watching mse gaming !
ARRMA Senton VS Typhon megas brushed... whats the better starter?.... will be used on dirt track
Do the shocks come with oil
Are those 17mm hex hubs?
How does this compare to tenacity pro's 1/10 scale Baja truck?
👍👍👍Nice and complete review. What is you opinion of th redcat compared to the Senton? I can get a brushless redcat for the brushed senton...i would love to read your comments thanks!
great video mate
Thanks for watching mini RC Sports !
How do you set slipper clutch? Vegas Paul here
i ended up snapping a axle, the camber arms, a lower control arm, burnt out two of those brushed motors and broke the steering servo, and the frame. but the front bash bar is okay ahahha
i had to upgrade the steering servo the power controller and the motor and the spur gear because i stripped my spur gear with the hobby wing brushless motor that i put onto it rn im running nimh battery 5000Mah but im gonna change them to lipo batteries
can you fit a blx motor from something like a typhon 4x4 blx onto it? im thinking of upgrading...
I'm considering a Senton 6S for next year
RC HAZARD 87 - We did a live video of that the other day and will be reviewing it soon
RCDriver_Online ok can't wait! ;)
The 4s kraton seems like good value @399
Do u think it would be able to take 3s on a brushless system
Any word from Arrma about a bl version of this truck or will this version hold up to a bl conversion to get it around 40mph?
Just Got the Senton BLX 3s from the wife for Christmas.. Trying to get her to hand it over so I can get it on my channel! No luck so far. : /
Awesome video
Thanks for watching Joseph Erickson !
Good review!
The diff gear seems made in plastic.
I have a question I have one of those short course trucks ARRMA senton mega 4x4 I know the wheels are 14mm how do I change them to 17mm any information will be helpful thank you
I can’t find your review on the Senton 3S BLX version? Any recommendations? And is this better than the ECX Torment 4x4?
the senton is much better.
How easy is it to get parts for this truck? I'm looking for a truck for my son. It will be his first truck
Could you please do a video on the DHK 8331R Hunter
Sorry, we do not have any connections to get a DHK.
I'm considering this as a gift for my 8 year old nephew, We've tried to get him into crawlers but he just wants to go fast. Do you think this is too large of a rig for someone his age?
Thanks for the videos!
humboldtef, I think it's awesome for an 8 year old! Just put in a nickel metal hydrate pack.
True. To just make it a bit slower for his own safety
The truck is actually 1-2 mph faster with the nickel battery ... It's 8.4v compared to a 2s at 7.2v
larrys4227, OK.
The truck will top out around 20mph, out of the box. The nickel pack will do well, but top speed will decrease as the battery is used ... Typical of NiMH. 2s lipo will be constant until just before LVC. So looking forward to unwrapping this at Christmas.
whats the run time?
12:05 Hmm .. if only 1 screw will hold the motor, and so little holding points on everything else.. I feel like this rig won't last long!!!
Is there a difference between the brushed Senton and the Senton 3s?
One does around 30 mph and one does around 55 mph
So if I’ve decided to go electric how do I determine weather I get the “lipo” or the standard nickel battery? Is it best to go with one that can do both or upgrade later? And unless it’s a Harley I am NOT mechanically inclined lol
Idk if you went ahead and picked one up. but I just picked this one up wensday great price it is set up for nimh 2s and 3s it is easy to set it for eaither lipo or nimh. when I bought it I bought a 2s and a lipo charger only because my local hobby store had a deal going on if you bought a RC get 20 off battery so he'll why not. in my opinion the trucks pretty quick out the box with provided battery but with the 2s lipo I bought so much quicker I love this truck.

Is this a strong reliable truck? Also does it have metal gears?
I think it is strong, watch a few Bashing videos of it, but I don't think it has metal gears, I know the 6s blx has
Bought one, great looking truck, after 10 min hit the wall broke shock and A Arm... not that tough
fmxinsane maybe don't hit the wall, mine does fine.
@@killerdonkey5750 right hit a wall with your car doing 20 mph tell me if you break anything
@@johnnycash7803 like i said, maybe dont ram a wall.
Yes but i just bought the senton blx,,,,,,,,,na mean?
RCDriver_online is there any way I can contact you I have to ask you some questions about this truck about the steering
Rear axle broke on second run. You will need to upgrade the steering servo, it stinks. Also, bottom piece of shock where the screw is, crap also.

hercule75 call up horizon hobby and ask for a replacement
See how hard it is to find parts for
An indestructible vehicle, until you confront it with another arma, I know from experience.
Broke the front left arms.
Its a good car but the rocks getting hung up in the steering is a real problem. My drive way is gravel and I cant run this car in my own drive way. It will get hung up every time I run it. SUCKS!

The charger it comes with is bad 😂
MH Ghostreaper get a protek rc prodigy charger.
Yeah, I charged the stock battery for 8 hours and it was still red, I use a 6 year old speed charger and it charges it in less than an hour
There is a lady selling one if these by me for 100$ and it looks brand new and I have an extra brushless set-up I can throw in it hmmmmmmm
Why all these "new" (arrma, ecx etc..) brands look so cheap and chiense? HPi and Trx don't...
Had this, It was a pretty cool machine until I upgraded to Brushless and Lipo, used a 2800kv motor sensorless with ESC, Ran a 3s Lipo and shredded the diff gears and snapped several and I mean SEVERAL, drive shafts.
Lol overkill is fun.
Why does no one have a video binding the radio to the receiver? Can't get this stupid thing to pair to save my life.
