Arrma Senton 3s BLX, Best Short Course Truck?! Move over Traxxas Slash

Better than a Traxxas Slash 4x4 VXL? You tell me!
Check out and Support The Arrma RC UK Owners group here:
www.facebook.c...
So, Arrma RC released the 3s BLX (Brushless) version of the Senton a few months back, say what you want about ARRMA, but this thing will take over the Traxxas Slash as the go to Basher. Tough, Fast and looks amazing! Worlds Best RC Short Course Truck! (for bashing)
I can't wait for the Arrma Kraton 4s BLX thats on the cards! I wonder if they will make an Arrma Outcast 3s or 4s BLX? Or the Notorious 3s BLX?

Great vid and bash brother 👊!!! I'm sure the thumbs down are all Traxxas only fanboys 😫. Sometimes the truth is hard to swallow. 🍻🤘🤘😎💪👊👊

[@TomleyRC]

haha...yeah it certainly is! So many people scared to call them out! Cheers for watching dude, would love to find a bashing spot like you have!....although would need to perfect my landings 😂

[@Spanky8402]

This looks like a good spot that your at in the video. I have a slash 2wd vxl but it needed so many upgrades to run it and not have any breaks. I am not a fan boy of traxxas but I like them, mostly because of nostalgia. I remember seeing a slash run when I was younger, almost every weekend at the corner park. I would wake up early on Saturday morning to watch cartoons and then walk up to the park and watch it run for a long time. The guy would sometimes have a plane as well. Arrma wasn't available when I got my slash cause I would have been looking into Arrma as well. Part support is a huge thing with traxxas though. The price difference between traxxas and arrma is enough to get me seriously thinking about a arrma monster truck. I kinda like the big rock but I don't have the money yet and I am hoping to see a 3s outcast or Kraton come out. I have ran a Kraton at my local track and a granite while I was bike riding on a offroad trail and I prefer to run no more than a 3s and to have less weight, like your senton. The more weight on the 6s platform and needing 2 batteries for each battery change or a bigger battery is a turnoff for me. I just like to have a little mindless fun and speed isn't everything for me. I do have a axial scx10, jeep wrangler that came out with the castle esc. I have more fun trail riding than staying in one spot and running my slash. With it only being a 2wd, that limits my places to run cause tall grass or random rocks in places I take my scx10, is always frustrating to use my slash. A 4x4 monster truck will give me more chances to go through and not get stuck as much and I can run it through a few bmx trails that are not maintained. Some people do run revo's, arrma monster trucks, and I have seen a redcat monster truck one time. I think fanboys of anything is kinda stupid. I do prefer some brands over others in certain things but I always have a open mind on other people's choices. I don't know that much about redcat but I have heard that they are a hobby/toy grade rc but that one monster truck I saw, wiped out alot and nothing seemed to break. That makes me wonder if it's good or if it was heavily upgraded like my slash, so it rarely breaks.

[@TomleyRC]

@@Spanky8402 I agree Traxxas make some nice rigs, it's just a shame they don't play nice with other brands. I have no experience of the Slash...but I've heard it's the one to have if you have a Traxxas. I have a 'Nitro Street' from the 90's that needs restoring, not sure if I'll get around to it anytime soon I had an Outcast and loved it, but it was to big really for the area I live and bash in. And like you say, the 3s and light weight is much easier to handle...but still fast and tough. Cheers for watching dude. I'm hoping a 3s Outcast will come out!

Yeah, they are really decent, and $300 is a good price!

[@stpbasss3773]

Yeah the slash and traxxas in general is totally weird with pricing, slash is like 500$ but the new ruslter 4x4 is 379$ pretty much the same but thicker plastic parts all around 🤔🤔 makes me wonder why anybody would get a Slash 4x4 vxl. Then you got the 2wd traxxas brushed that are super cheap 160$ and the it jumps to like 400$ for a vxl 2wd lol so they figure their 10th scale velineon motor and ESC is worth 200+.....ok sure. The only Traxxas I have is the ruslter 4x4 and that's because I thought they priced it pretty well.

[@Megasty15]

While Traxxas is re-releasing 15 year old designs & calling them new, Arrma is taking their latest platform to awesomeness. I just picked up a 3s Typhon & is eyeing it up next to my 6s version. I'm amazed at just how the size of the 2 are nearly identical despite being 2 completely different platforms. But we are talking about Arrma here who took one metal chassis & made a buggy, SCT, & MT out of it. Bah, if it wasn't for Arrma, the Slash would still be $600.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, exactly that. I'd like to see the Senton be the most popular SCT to go for. Make Traxxas realise they are falling behind!

[@modelnutty6503]

Tomley YUP, and in this video, other than the insane big bash jumps, the Senton landed like a wet sponge, no bouncing stable as you could ask for. on a regular RC track you're not going to see jumps THAT big, so it's really set up ready to go.

[@evitasdildoz8075]

@Megasty This may be a stupid question, but why would you buy a 3s version when you already have a 6s? I'd think it would be the other way around. Sorry if I'm missing something here. I'd like to think I'd buy a different RC altogether rather than buy the lesser model of what I already own. Not trying to bust your balls at all bud, just a real question. Thanks if you reply & hope you have a Merry Christmas (If you celebrate the holiday-lol).

[@Megasty15]

@@evitasdildoz8075 They are not in the same ballpark. You can't really compare the 2. The only thing they have in common is the name. Everything else is different. Plus, the 3s Typhon is setup OoB exactly like I would want the platform with super thick hub axles with 17mm hexes. I don't mind the naming because they have the same body but it does lead to confusion like this. The 3s Typhon is not a lesser model. It has a totally different platform from the 6s. It's much lighter so the 3s power can push it at speeds which match the 6s OoB. Of course, they both can be geared up to reach 60mph, but the 6s version just gets there with ridiculous power hitting the ground while the 3s simply floats there with very controllable power. But I'm not content with that kind of stuff. I pushed the limit of the new platform & dropped the 6s drivetrain in the Granite: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIKzqItpjM94icU That really blurs the line too much but think of it as just another car to play around with.

I only bash these things, I know a lot of people say the Tekno and Losi are pretty good racers. I just think if you look at the cost of the Slash compared to this, it's an easy choice! And you sae how hard this thing landed on more than one occasion before it broke the bottom arm!

Great vid. Great locations. Great fun. I loved the editing. Loved you trying over and over to make that one jump rather than show all smoothness. That thumbnail photo is epic. The only letdown is that I had to turn the volume way up to 37 where I usually have my TV at 23. Scary stuff when a commercial blasts after your video. Honestly, and from just this one vid I enjoyed your subdued commenting (though you should speak up so the videos that play after yours on KZbin aren't insanely loud). Unlike Jake Billing I can actually see that you can drive well. He may be a great RC driver but we don't see anything more than average in his videos... and (sorry Jake) I actually mute the volume on his vids. He has an annoying overselling way of speaking on his vids... like the Crocodile Hunter. Just show us you can drive an RC Jake... the Notorious vid was... OK... Your vids aren't Rich Duperbash level but you were at a great location and gave the Senton a good bash here. Enjoyed it enough to write a mammoth comment.

[@TomleyRC]

Wendy On Thanks for the feedback 👍🏻, I noticed after the final edit that the Volume was quite low. I often use headphones while editing, and as they are really good quality (B&W P7), I find when listening back without them it’s sometimes low. Certainly something I’ll be working on. I always forget about the adverts, I level all my volumes so you don’t get super loud background music like some creators do. With the introduction of multiple adverts on longer videos, I need to take them in to account as they come on halfway through! Anyway, really appreciate the positive comments and constructive feedback. Thanks for watching!

[@rcsendandblast1579]

These CAN NOt compare to a slash. Traxxas sells their cars without centre carriers in the difffsss👎👎👎👎👎👎. And grease instead of dif oil 👎👎👎👎👎👎 and to boot they'll lie if you ask them what's in the cars. For example what oil is in the diffs. I had to take my diffs out while they are still new and get the black dead grease out of it and fix it so it lasts. Traxxas answer to my question was ohhh sorry for your being upset but that's just the way it is. That's Garbage of Traxxas to be doing this to us the customer/consumers. Now Arrma they definitely do what they say and that's the difference in between a company out to give fun and a company Out To Get our money so they can have fun. Anyone see this like I do.

[@jantheman2001]

I think its sad that people bash brands because they don't like them, the best RC is the rc that puts the biggest smile on your face, it doesn't matter what brand it is, if your a arrma fan boy or a traxxas fan boy your missing out on some great stuff because its not the brand you like, E.g the xmaxx is a one off nothing compares for bashing but arrma fan boys miss out, the kraton is an awesome rc but traxxas fan boys miss out it is crazy, We should all be RC fanboys that play with what we enjoy most, don't bash someone cause their truck is a brand you don't like, meet up with them race them bash with them and you'll see its not about the brand, it's all about doing something you enjoy with people that are doing the same.

[@TomleyRC]

You sound like you’ve been watching to much Kevin Talbot 😆....I don’t like Traxxas as a company, and I don’t like how they price their RC’s.....the Slash is decent, but like I said in this video, it costs $100+ extra on the Senton. The Xmaxx is a very good basher, but it’s $1000, which is not affordable for many people, and straight out the box it’s not as strong as it’s made out to be. Anyway, all RC’s will break if you have a big enough tumble wumble, so just choose what you can afford to run and have fun. 😎👍

[@jeremybennett5547]

I agree… personally I see zero reason to fanboy over one company. All that does is limit the persons options. (Is that company giving them anything in return for brown nosing them… nope! So why do it) Personally I dislike the way Traxxas handles a lot of there products/pricing but I still like the product. Like I said why worship one make. I’ve got HPI, traxxas, Arrma and Losi vehicles. It’s way more fun to own many from all makes that a handful from one.

For folks that still want to try a traxxas slash 4x4 and can't afford it look up the Huanqi 727 direct clone if you're lucky enough you can pick it up as a bargain and change over the electronics and you're good to go.

Proline also is stepping into that market, but their SCT won't be that heavy. Dropping 6s in it might be a mistake. You need weight to handle that power. Which is why the ProMT on 6s is a nightmare.

[@saavedravideos258]

Okay why does everyone say this is so much better than an slash it’s literally no cheaper than a a slash 4 by 4 vxl with tsm and oba. Oh and did I mention that the Arrma has no stability management system like the slash it literally makes no sense

[@TomleyRC]

I get what you are saying, but to be honest, you don't need TSM on a 4x4 short course, that sort of stuff is far better on a rwd. The Senton performs as well as the Slash out the box for $100 less, and that's what the selling point is for people.

[@saavedravideos258]

So your telling me rn that the Arma senton vxl performs just as good as a slash does w tsm that can’t be true and the even w a 4 wd car tsm is almost necessary especially if using it on a 3lipo

[@TomleyRC]

Saavedra Videos Stability management is not a necessity on a well balanced 4x4, and for hardcore RC’ers in not needed on anything. The Slash is fine without it. If anything it just stops you learning how to properly control the thing. Much more fun learning how to get the most out of your RC. If real cars had TSM we’d all be in Japan drifting in the mountains 😎👍

[@painintherc7771]

That's bloody awesome mate!! And about time someone knocked the slash of its pedestal........can't believe it's taken this long, how old is the slash design now!!?? Those arms seem to be a weak point though, ive only broken 2 arm's in about 3 years both of which from hitting a large rock at full speed on 6s 🤣😁👌 ohh yeah keep forgetting to ask where your based dude? 🤘👍

Hi, i got a old Slash Caro, can i put it on the senton ?

[@JonnyFourDeluxe]

Hi, I was wondering if you could give me some advice. I'm looking to get back into rc after 20 years away from it. I can't decide whether to get the Arrma Senton or Arrma Granite. It will mainly be used for thrashing around on grass fields and skate parks.. 20+ years ago I used to run a Traxxas buggy.. Great vid, BTW.. 👍🏻

[@TomleyRC]

I'd get the new Granite V3 or Big Rock V3 (I have a couple of videos of the new Big rock).

[@johnroop596]

I've had a slash for over 10 years and I have never broken a control arm.

[@SargeScum]

Traxxas BLEW it with their mediocre somewhat good incredibly expensive cars. Byeeee Traxxas, hey Arrma

[@SB-1947]

While I want a higher end crawler for this Christmas, your tempting me with this gem. While I do not own any Arrma yet, I always found their shocks and my redcats had the best shocks compared to so called higher end vehicles, so in short how well this thing absorbs the jumps.

Holy hell. Amazing. Terry's going on about 6s but this looks the sweet spot for me. Any experience of the 6s Senton? Seems a lot heavier so must be some serious metal in it?

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude. The Senton 3s BLX is a real challenger for the Slash. The 6s Senton would destroy as Slash no doubt about it. Cheers for watching 👍

[@rcmain4709]

Hey guys. No bias once so ever for either but I have both a traxxas rustler Val and a arrma granite blx. And yes it is a nice truck and most ways keeps up except for the gear box. I can’t run a 3s in the granite because of the plastic gears. Because they do not off metal gears if I put a 3s in it that day I have to have a back up set of gears. And then the tie rods for the arms re crap. Had to modify by screwing the it and putting a screw and bolt. They are nice trucks but nothing close to traxxas. But then again #yougetwhatyoupayfor and that’s just the honest truth. I can see only imagine the parts this guy flew thru making this vid with a 4x4 from arrma. No disrespect intended once so ever but if you want a bash, a true bash with a tough vehicle we’ll put together traxxas is the top of the list for a reason and that is the truth.

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers for stopping by dude...To answer your question on the 'parts flew thru making this vid'..... 1 x bottom arm which cost less than $10 to replace 😉👍The Traxxas Slash is a strong truck from what I've heard, but no more than this....and at around $100 more, the Slash has nothing more to offer than this new BLX Senton.

[@MrtipRC]

You must have the old 2wd Granite ? The new 4x4 Granite blx can handle 3s all day . I run 3s in all my blx platform Rc"s and haven't Broken one part via drivetrain .

[@liamsrccars4636]

Hi dude, have to say this is a great video, my dad has the granite blx how would you say it compares to that? I do believe I’m not that far from where this is filmed as well. Just gave you a sub as well dude. Will be watching more of your videos now

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers for the sub dude. This is recorded somewhere in Nottinghamshire, can’t remember the name of the place though? As for this vs the Granite, from what I’ve seen, the Granite is more of a Basher than this. But the performance is not much different. This is a little more planted I’d say 👍🏻

[@jamessmith-pryor713]

I’m new to RC and am considering a Senton or Granite. Which would you recommend? I need something affordable, forgiving and fixable. Would you recommend Arrma over Traxxas, Absima or Helion. Who has the best aftersales/ spares in the uk? I live near Epping forest so I’m gonna be a basher.

[@TomleyRC]

I'd say the Granite would be better for bashing. The Senton is awesome, but being a short course...it's not as good at taking the bigger bumps etc that you will have at Epping forest. After sales/spares are not the best at the moment, but I wouldn't say it's a reason not to buy one. As for Traxxas....I'm really not a fan....aftercare is good, but the trucks are not worth the extra £££ 👍

[@jamessmith-pryor713]

Tomley RC Garage Thanks so much for the advice. Ill probably get the granite although maybe a big rock with some wider tyres. I think the longer body might be less inclined to flipping as I’m sure to be a bit trigger happy. Where is that BMX track you were running on?
