Over 3 years later and you’re still saving people. Thank you for the nice easy to digest video. As someone who’s getting into the hobby this has really helped so much!

Man… I’ve been on channels everywhere trying to get this explained properly. Kudos to you.. “Subscribed”

Thanks Iam!

.Perfect! ..Exactly what I needed for my Turned Untamed car! .About 3 weeks ago Artificial Intelligence took over in an Elementary School Cafeteria surprising my daughter with lunch attached to it. .I drove it in fine, No Problem. .It's sitting on stage.. ..Sucker took off, flew off the stage and slammed into the side of a table where kids were sitting down eating, wheels still turning climbing the legs on the table. .Thank God Nobody Was Hit or Hurt! .Connection started screwing up that day, not connecting right, taking off on its own after it did connect properly. .How I learned the times when it was going to take off by itself, Forward would work Reverse wouldnt work. .After a short Delay of sitting it take off in Reverse without the trigger being touched. .After watching and executing these steps the connect was back to working properly and produced a Hairpin Trigger, which it never had since I bought it a few months ago. .Great Video Sir, Thank You!

Perfect vid this is exactly what I needed. Purchased my first rc car Mojave 4s line. Really appreciate the detailed steps!!!

[@BDTennessee]

Great to hear! Congrats on the Mohave,iots a fun truck!

[@skybasherrc2372]

Great instructional video. I've heard a lot of folks talk bad about the Arrma stock servo's. They are actually pretty decent but if you don't have the endpoints set correctly it's not going to last. It's very important to do what you just did. Especially the endpoint settings.

[@BDTennessee]

I agree! Setup is proper. Stock servos are a issue but i think more cause what you said too,which i agree as well. Not setting endpoints burns them up fast.

[@miketube6662]

Ive just fitted a savox 32kg servo as i have the 2.8 badlands on u can definitely tell the difference i think the stock servo is 15 kg power

[@BDTennessee]

@@miketube6662 thats a good servo,nice upgrade! Stock is 7.27kg :/

[@BDTennessee]

Rick, thats awesome! You started off right and good truck too! Welcome to the hobby as well!

[@RickWilleyOMC]

@@BDTennessee Thanks bud! I hope I can find other people in my area to learn more about the hobby! But since I'm rarely home that's gonna be tough to find! That's why I appreciate this video so much! BTW I also have a Horizon hobby Valiant, Delray Ray 1 and and an old Blade heli I hope to learn about. Using Rf9 to teach myself how to fly them.

[@BDTennessee]

@@RickWilleyOMC anytime you have a questions feel free to comment and ill help yah :) Awesome little birds,especially Valiant! RF9 is great to help learn.You can get new models on the "knife edge swap pages".

[@RickWilleyOMC]

Yup! So I just went through this video again and got my truck all dialed in. Thanks again for doing this video! One thing that I'm not sure about is the steering trim part. I have it almost maxed on my transmitter and I did back it off a bit until I saw the tires twitch but wasn't sure what you were talking about when you said something about the suspension 🤔

[@BDTennessee]

@@RickWilleyOMC max steering rate on transmitter. Then do the adjustment you have done.I talk about the suspension because want to make sure its not binding.

@@chalky_white did you put in a fully charge battery? What does it do when you turn the Transmitter and Truck on?

[@chalky_white]

@@BDTennessee I can't even get the truck to turn on. When I plug the battery into the charger I'm not seeing any green lights. When I first plug it in I see the charger go through the motions of the four different bars with green lights but then it just stays without green lights after that

Thanks!

[@bwiesman]

Thanks for the video! Quick question, once you set how far the wheels turn, do you return the s/r on the remote back to 12 o’clock or do you leave it at max?

[@BDTennessee]

Thanks for watching.I lower mine down cause its so sensitive it slides around alot from being able to overcorrect easy. Normal driving in small area i use 11-12 o clock. Open areas 10-12o clock for straight line stability.

[@Tuidkskiwjdhdbd]

Great tracks I have big rock got it 3 weeks ago fell in love. But that green granite really catches my eye as well I've been looking at it about everyday just haven't purchased it yet bc I have big rock. Would you recommend getting granite even though I have big rock or do they basically feel like same truck or totally different. Should I get senton instead.

[@BDTennessee]

Ryan, i would get a granite too! Watch my video i posted on the channel comparing them both. Even though both monster trucks they drive totally different. I havent been too much on Senton but they are fun too!

[@Greenro2]

I have the senton and it's incredible.

[@konstellate9284]

Hey i'm new to rc, and I need a little help please. I dont know much about the things such as batteries, chargers, and connectors. Could you please respond and link what I need for the Big Rock? Have a nice day!

[@BDTennessee]

Check out Amazon for 3s 5200 lipo. Hoovo and Ovonic are my go too! I have a video called "Which lipo is right for you?"

[@konstellate9284]

@@BDTennessee thank you! I found one called Zeee 3s 5200mah EC5, Tenergy TB6-B balance charger, and I got Male EC5 to Female Deans T-Plug Adapter KCRTEK Female T-Plug Deans to Male EC5 Wireless RC LiPo Battery Connectors. I think that’s what I will need

[@BDTennessee]

@@konstellate9284 Zeee work too.If you got a 3s tho id make sure to get hardcase lipo. With that charger just get banana plugs to EC5 male instead of using multiple adapters.

[@kevosrcadventures9019]

I just got my granite and I'm all over the place driving is this wat I need to do??

[@BDTennessee]

This video is how you setup the trucks. However if your truck is all over the place turn down the steering rate. If you have it up to high it will make the truck oversteer and be very sensitive so will be easy to oversteer.

[@kevosrcadventures9019]

Yeah I tried that I got it going now I wonder if I could upgrade the granite with a wider suspension from the from the big rock??

[@BDTennessee]

@@kevosrcadventures9019 yes ,buy the arms and 6 turnbuckles for Typhon / Big Rock v3. (Big Rock v2 has shorter arms like Granite/Senton)

[@jefflapierre5848]

ware did you get that chassi brace for the big rock

Parts from Jenny Rc. You can find them on eBay too. There is a video on my channel explaining how to install and part numbers.
