Arrma Senton 3s BLX V3 Review and Top Tips. Arrma 3s Mods, Upgrades Granite Typhon Big Rock Vorteks

[@PeteWylieRC]

This is rather a long video so some useful skip points are 1:10 - Body strengthening, 1:56 - Threadlocking motor, 8:01 - Shock oil, 13:17 - Metal shock brace, 17:37 - Servo and other bits, 21:05 - Review

[@toddcard4221]

You can also use tygon or glow fuel tubing for shock limiters and cut to any size.

[@PeteWylieRC]

Good tip thanks 😃

[@gaffle-411]

Thank you sir!

[@2XRC]

Great video Pete. I really appreciate videos like this that are still relevant today. Plus the content reinforces what to look out for on the 3s line. Thanks 🙏

[@PeteWylieRC]

Hi there. Yeah the Arrma 3s line is still going strong and I've still got all of mine plus a 4s now. I think that despite needing a few checks and mods these are still a must have for RC bashers. Many thanks indeed for your kind feedback 😁👍

[@2XRC]

@@PeteWylieRC The shock leak has improved on the v3. But my the differentials still leak onto the driveshafts. Have you experienced this? I recently ordered HotRacing yokes. Hopefully that does the trick.

[@PeteWylieRC]

@@2XRC I haven't noticed the diffs leaking. I did put slightly thicker oil in them so maybe it stays in better? Hope your upgrade does the trick 🙂

[@gihonda127]

I know this is an older video, but I enjoyed you going through the Senton 3s. I just picked one up, and it was used, so I serviced the diffs, then went on a rip. The very next day the inner motor bearing seized, I am waiting on the FastEddie bearings for this, and I am upgrading the shocks to the Proline for the 3s series vehicles.

[@PeteWylieRC]

Hi there. Glad you enjoyed the video. Ooh that's annoying about the motor. I've had the same thing happen and it can be difficult to get it open if the screws are damaged. Hope your fix goes well. Many thanks indeed for your great feedback 😁👍

[@miksmif]

hi pete, mick smith here... i did put granite wheels on my senton 3s blx and i love it.. faster more responsive etc.. i did get 44 mph on cut dry grass with i think the standard 20 pinion. but its a little too fast.. the front end started to wobble and raise up plus it just wants to wheelie at 35 -40mph+.. to rectify this i have added some velcro to the front end and ordered a 17 pinion from modelsport.. i do love the speed but as you said i need to take care of the esc and the motor.. i beleive ARRMA are " horizon hobby " i used to purchase helicopters from them a while ago.. i also have a pro-boat sonicwake 36 (horizon hobby) which will achieve 50mph ... a great boat but.... boats need to much attention.. there hard work... cars are easier... thanks for your videos .. i do trust in you with your un-biased information.. take care pete regards mick...

[@PeteWylieRC]

Hi there. Yeah the 20t might be too much with the big wheels. With the wheelies I think that the Senton body just catches the air underneath. I got the mudguards which help a bit. Many thanks for your feedback. Much appreciated 😁

[@donuttime2507]

I've got the Typhon and the new Big Rock v3. I'm trying to get the whole 3s range in 2021. I also gorilla taped the Big Rock and it's a beast. Nice video mate.

[@PeteWylieRC]

Yeah getting all of them sounds good. Very good fun range. Many thanks for watching the vid and commenting 😁

[@thatkidgaming6386]

Love the video, extremely helpful in my opinion, definitely pointed out lots of things that I was thinking about and questioning. Helpful tips and ideas, good description on the parts he points out.

[@PeteWylieRC]

Many thanks for your kind feedback. Very much appreciated 😁

[@BobMonkeypimp]

Love the thumbnail! I felt baited into clicking 😆 Ha ha! I honestly didn't think the video was too long. If people can sit through soap operas for 30 minutes then I can happily watch something actually interesting for the same amount of time. I've never owned an Arma before, I have a few Tamiyas, an Axial crawler & my Kyosho TKi3 (Nitro beast!). A lot of your tips & advice could apply to any brand of RC so I enjoyed it very much!

[@PeteWylieRC]

Hi there. Good to know that it's worth doing the custom thumbnails. Yeah why would you watch fictional characters arguing with each other when you could listen to a grown man waffling on about his toy cars 😂 Glad it was useful. I think that people new to the hobby are worried about tearing these things apart but if I can do it then anyone can. Many thanks for your great feedback 😁

[@emgee44]

Great video and well detailed without too much fluff. I’ve been torn between the Senton and the Big Rock, but after watching this I’m thinking Big Rock and then adding a Senton body later.

[@PeteWylieRC]

Hi there. Many thanks. Yeah it's a difficult decision. I think that the Big Rock is probably the better all rounder with the big wheels. The Senton is great fun to drift around on the grass but isn't as off roady. The big tyre ones are definitely best for jumps. Have fun with whichever one you get 😁

[@robbrennanrc]

Nice lot of tips there Pete. I will definitely refer back to this when I get hold of either of these two beauties. All the best and stay safe matey.

[@PeteWylieRC]

Hiya Rob. So are you planning to add an Arrma to your collection? Great for bashing about without worrying too much. That way you can save the Tamiya's for the lighter bash sessions. Cheers matey. You stay safe too :-)

[@philenglish3931]

I have exactly the same issue with the handling of my Senton. I will be doing that suspension mod this weekend. I'm also going to buy the Granite next based on your suggestion. Your tips videos are indispensable I reckon. Cheers

[@PeteWylieRC]

Hi there. Yeah I decided to make the Senton better in the corners by lowering the suspension a little and it's really good now. I've got the trucks if I want one for more challenging off road or bigger jumps. The Granite is still favourite I'd say. Many thanks for your kind feedback. Much appreciated 😁

[@matt_cars]

I have just got the senton and am really impressed with it so far. It does throw lots of debris into the chassis but have seen a mudguard mod which i will be getting. Also Proline do a set of upgraded shocks for this model and seem to work well from what i have seen (albeit expensive) so will look to change to them in the future. Great video and top advice as always ,i bought my Kyosho beetle on the basis of your review of it and am so far really happy with that as well. Take care

[@PeteWylieRC]

Hi there. Yeah the inner fender set is a must for the Senton. Doesn't stop everything going in but it helps. I did a video about those. I've made mine a bit lower and used thicker shock oil and now it handles more like a rally car which I like. Tend to only run it in the dry these days as the trucks are better in the mud. Oh yeah the Beetle is good but you need to be a bit careful with it compared to the Arrmas. The main problem I'm having with it is the paint falling off the inside of the body shell after its landed on the roof many times. Mine is possibly a bit fast on brushless. Hope you enjoy the build 😁👍

[@matt_cars]

@@PeteWylieRC Iv just put carpet tyres on my beetle. It will only be used inside for exactly that reason. It's too pretty! I'm running a Tamiya super stock RZ in it which seems plenty for the little beetle 👍

[@PeteWylieRC]

@@matt_cars Yeah I was going to say that the Beetle possibly has a bit too much grip on grass with the blocky tyres and it could do with a bit more rear end slide like the Turbo Scorpion with the smaller blocks on the rear treads. Hopefully yours will be safe indoors unlike mine which has had a bit of a beating to be honest 😬

[@JoeyW979]

Great video bud. I have the Granite and Senton too, but the Senton just edges it for me when driving fast through woods and bashing off road. Gonna try changing my shock oil

[@PeteWylieRC]

Hi there. Yeah both great in different ways. Really like how controllable the Granite is in the air. Many thanks for watching and your comments 😀

[@RcNickster709]

All great tips Pete. A little surprised on the design of the shocks. A lot different from axial ;) I like it. Great job and Iam sure there will be quite a few people who would like this help. Thumbs up

[@PeteWylieRC]

Hiya Nick. Yeah I think that the shocks are different to all the other ones out there. I guess that the advantage for a basher is that there is no shock top to come off during jumps and crashes. They do work well now that they have sorted out the o ring problem of the previous versions. Anyway many thanks for watching matey. Just found out that I'm working through the next lockdown. To be honest it doesn't seem to be much of a lockdown as the schools are still open and a lot of people are still at work. I think that mainly the pubs and restaurants are shut. We shall see if it makes any difference. Take it easy my friend 😀

[@RcNickster709]

@@PeteWylieRC hmmm .. well hardly seems like a shut down, is right... I guess they see it as helping?? Thankfully not a decision, that falls on my shoulders... lol I like the look of those shocks though and I think they would work pretty good. For a couple reasons first of all, the fine thread which seems to be nice and long, Second the oring placements ... I know you may have mentioned it but it would seem to be pretty good against leaking? thamks :)

[@Brian-ed4jm]

I liked and subscribed. Very interesting and very informative. I'm watching all your Senton and granite 3S videos because I will be getting one after the Holidays. Just can't make up my mind on which one to get. Any suggestion would be great. Keep up the good work. Just wondering why would someone give you a thumbs down. this video does not deserve it. IMO

[@PeteWylieRC]

Hi there. That's good to know that the video is useful. Many thanks for the feedback. Hope you enjoy yours when you get it. As to which one it depends on the type of driving you like to do. As I mention in the video I like the Granite the best as it's the most fun. Thanks again for the like and sub 😁

[@MarkBryanRC]

Hiya Pete! Nice one - another great instructional and informative video. Top tips indeed. I loved your home made shock mount strengthening brackets, just goes to show you can make something better with a bit of thought and some cheap aluminium! I hope more folks are inspired to have a go after watching this. Hope this video does even better than the first one. Best wishes, mate, take it easy! :)

[@PeteWylieRC]

Hiya mate. Well done if you made it all the way through this as it was rather a long one (ooh matron!) Anyway just getting that tiny vice makes it so much easier to make little bits like that. Anyway, so there is a lockdown coming but not the schools! What do you reckon to that? If it's any consolation I think I'm still going to be at work because although the car showrooms are closing, the workshops remain open so I guess I'll still be delivering bits. Haven't heard officially yet. Apart from that, hope all is well. Cheers for watching and your comments matey. I'm just catching up with Top Gear as I've missed all of this series so far. Cheers for now 😀

[@MarkBryanRC]

@@MarkBryanRC I know, I can't see it reducing the infection rate too much if the kids are still mixing at school. I guess you just have to do what you can with masks and handwashing and distance but I'm guessing it's impossible to be very far away. With my job I can keep away from people pretty well. Would still rather be home building kits for a month! Yeah the first two Top Gears were very good. That wall of death looked scary. Also, what about smashing that Diablo? I bet the owner was pissed off! Anyway, take it easy mate and stay as safe as you possibly can :-)

You should compress and uncompress the shock after you fill it with oil to remove trapped air before you put the cap on

[@PeteWylieRC]

Oh yeah I should have mentioned that. Many thanks for your great feedback 😁👍

[@SpeedSyko]

Grease is a good sealer in some situations, but you may want to use a light weight silicone for cars. Won’t hold on to the dirt as well. This is only my opinion, your way may be better. Great video!

Open ur box.. Get in the bag where all your papers should be.. You will have a whole pictured diagram of every part on this truck!!

[@ChriswithaCrc]

@@elizabethbumgarner6267 he was referring to a aftermarket part , the HR pivot balls and metal as apposed to composite that comes on the 3s range . There not very good at all to be frank with you , but the HR parts are a decent little upgrade that takes away slop from suspension and steering .

[@thatkidgaming6386]

I’m going to implement some of these ideas on mine.

[@mathewgodfrey1517]

I own a Senton. It's a lot of fun, but the parts aren't exactly durable. Turned too late and ran into a solid wall, breaking the steering rack and snapping one side of the front bumper. The upside is that replacement parts and upgrades are easy to acquire and install. Looking at upgrading a lot of suspension parts and getting better shocks and tires.

[@PeteWylieRC]

Hi there. I reckon that these are as tough as anything else I've had. I certainly broke my Traxxas Slash more often. Glad you are enjoying it. Many thanks for your comments 😀

[@randall4411]

Granite's are a blast . Easy to fix and the battery cost is low .

[@PeteWylieRC]

Yeah I love the Granite. I was running mine today. Such fun. Thanks for your great feedback 🙂

[@Glossopwildcamp]

Great to know this info Pete as I've just bought the Bigrock V3, mine will have a much easier life than your models though as I am a big chicken and don't run any of my RC's in mud or water because I'm a bit of a wuss! Thinking about it, that's because I usually buy kits and the amount of work I put in doesn't make me want to run the models too hard- but this is not a kit, it's a basher so maybe I can give this a lot more stick :-)

[@PeteWylieRC]

I know what you mean, I don't give my Tamiya's that much of a hard time as I really don't want to break them but these Arrma's are designed to be bashed so give them hell! Many thanks for watching. Actually having said that I don't want to break them either! Hope you are enjoying the Big Rock. I have ordered a Big Rock body for the Senton so I can run it with the Granite tyres. Should be interesting :-)

Good video m8 as I have just bought my boy the senton have u had tires blowing out on them as we put the battery in and it ran for 2 minutes tops and destroyed the rear tire

[@PeteWylieRC]

Hi there. I've not had the tyres on this one blow out. The only one that did was on my Granite but I was giving it full throttle while it was upside down as I was trying to flip it back over. I don't know if there are better tyres available from other manufacturers like Proline. You need to keep the Arrma wheels though because of the 14mm hex size. Thanks for your great feedback on the vid.

[@robchurch8741]

Brilliant video just wished I had watched it before taking out my nice new shinny senton First run have cracked ever corner. How have you found the number plate gorilla tape. Did you put the number plate tape down first then go over it with the gorilla tape Really helpful videos keep up the good work New sub 👍

[@PeteWylieRC]

Hi there. I've only used the double sided number plate tape around the body post holes where I have stuck on an extra layer of lexan on. Mainly I've just used the gorilla tape around the edges of the body. If you are really battering it then it might be worth doing that thing with the dry wall tape and shoe goo that people do. I haven't tried it myself but people say it's good. Many thanks for the sub 😁

[@stevenmortensen1257]

Great videos Pete . I'm brand new , just got the red Senton you have been working on . Could someone achieve somewhat similar results , less rolling over , without sacrificing suspension travel , by using harder , less grippy tires ? I dont trust myself to perform surgery on my truck yet .

[@PeteWylieRC]

Hi there. Yeah you are right to say that if the car looses traction then it will slide rather than roll. Rather than change the tyres, just find some slippery wet ground 😁 Many thanks for watching 😀

[@Virgovenom]

Don't drive so fast 😂😂😂

[@engibda]

Hi Pete, you didn't add grease to the spur gear / pinion. Do you you recommend to run it dry? You mentioned Tamiya Anti Wear Grease for sealing the gearbox. Which grease do you use instead?

[@PeteWylieRC]

Yeah the plastic spur against the metal spur tends to get left dry on most RC's. Having said that I do grease them when I build a Tamiya and so there's certainly no harm in doing it. I was just using some LM2 grease I think. Anything like that would do. If you can get something sticky like Tamiya AW grease then it tends to stay put. Thanks for watching and commenting 😁

[@josephnubile1970]

Hello, nice video. I too have a senton and i would like your honest evaluation of the ebay shocks on your granite as they offer the same ones for the senton. Are they any good?

[@PeteWylieRC]

Hi there. Yeah they are well made with a smooth action. Seem very strong. No problems so far. The only thing I was thinking about them is that they are unbranded so I don't know if you can get spare parts individually. I'm thinking about getting a set for the Senton too although the Arrma shocks are doing fine on that. Thanks for watching the video 😁

[@chowettgoes]

Hi Pete, great info video as always. Am I right that Arrma is a UK based company and is that one of the reasons you like their cars rather than American ones say Traxxas?

[@PeteWylieRC]

@@chowettgoes hi there. Well as far as I know it's a British team behind the Arrma designs but they are owned by Horizon Hobby which is American. I think that Arrma offers better value for money than Traxxas and I've certainly been impressed with these 3s cars. The Traxxas Maxx seems to get good reviews but it's £630 so not cheap. Also I was not impressed with Traxxas taking legal action against various RC brands like HPI and Arrma and trying to put them out of business. They nearly succeed too and HPI is a shadow of its former self. Arrma luckily got bought up by Horizon so is hopefully safe now. Anyway in short they are just great bashers for the money 😁

[@chowettgoes]

@@PeteWylieRC thanks for yet more great insight! I’m getting back into RC and trying to get a better sense of these new makes (to me). I had heard a lil about that legal action. Certainly like and agree with you on the money. Even the Arrma’s are allot but £600+ is out of my league.

[@Johnyboy-wj6ls]

What the advantages of using different tooth pinion gears what one does it come stock with and what ones does it come with

[@PeteWylieRC]

Basically more teeth on the pinion gives a higher gear so higher top speed with slower acceleration. The opposite is true of the spur gear ie. more teeth gives a lower gear ratio. The Senton comes as standard with a 20 tooth pinion whereas the Granite and Big Rock come with a 15 tooth because bigger wheels also increase the gear ratio. Hope this makes sense 😃

[@PeteWylieRC]

Hi there. Yeah the Arrma 3s range is great but make sure to do the checks that I go through in these videos. The Big Rock unboxing summarises the things to check. The problem with the Senton is that the body being over the wheels means that all the mud is directed into the chassis. I only really use mine in summer when it's dry. I use the other ones all year. Maybe look at the Big Rock?

Is there any servos I can just replace mine with a 23tooth

[@PeteWylieRC]

Hi there. If you Google 'RC servo spline chart' you should find a list showing which manufactures use 25t and which use 23t. From there you need to do a bit of research into a particular one that is suitable. I hadn't realised the difference when I bought the JX Servo but luckily I made it fit. It seems that 25t is the most commonly used size. Hope this helps 😀

Hi. Not sure about that. Is it a decent lipo pack that you are using ? Also might be worth going through the set-up of the throttle on the radio gear. It's in the instructions somewhere. Otherwise I'm not really sure. Be worth contacting the place you bought it or Horizon Hobbies who own Arrma.

yea new battery smart one the truck sounds bad when it is going also like it surging for power

[@PeteWylieRC]

May be a dodgy ESC. My first one on the Granite went wrong and got replaced on the warranty. Best to contact the seller like I say. Good luck.

[@tylerbowers6378]

Just an fyi. If you remove the battery mount thing it is VERY annoying first time.

[@PeteWylieRC]

Hi there. Sorry I'm not quite understanding what you are telling me. Can you explain please. Thanks 👍

[@tylerbowers6378]

@@PeteWylieRC I was telling everyone else when they take out the battery strap mount it was very difficult for me to remove it.

[@PeteWylieRC]

@@tylerbowers6378 ah yeah that bit can be a bit sticky. Cheers for the feedback 😁

[@andreasbrandstetter9221]

Why do they build the drive unit open on the bottom..... So unnecessary....

[@PeteWylieRC]

Yeah I know, they could have it perfectly sealed and it would only be very slightly higher. I'm sure that there is a reason but I can't think of it!. Thanks for watching :-)

[@rcreviews9894]

Damn, it seems like you have to thread lock everything on this vehicle, seems like they should do all this at the factory!!

[@PeteWylieRC]

Well yeah that would be nice. I'd rather they sold it as a kit so I could build it right the first time. Other than that a great RC. Thanks for watching :-)

[@rcreviews9894]

@@PeteWylieRC yeah see this is what keeps me from buying Arrma , I saw in your previous video of the unboxing where you had to thread lock the parts in the driveshafts to keep them from backing out and falling off!! That’s just crazy!!! Lol I can’t believe those parts aren’t thread locked out of the box!! Good video though very informative 👍👍

[@PeteWylieRC]

@@rcreviews9894 I know what you mean but they are worth putting a bit of time into. The Granite is my favourite and maybe my favourite RC of all time. Crazy fun. Just needs a bit of tinkering to get it right. Thanks again for your comments :-)

[@rcreviews9894]

@@PeteWylieRC I went ahead and ordered the granite 4x4 3s v3 just for the hell of it to see what the hype is all about is there anything I need to be aware of with this truck do I need to completely disassemble the driveshafts like you did for the senton??

[@PeteWylieRC]

@@rcreviews9894 Ah great, hope you like it. Well you could just run it and see if Arrma have got better at threadlocking. Personally I'd go through it and check. Also the motor screws are important to threadlock on the V3 sliding position motor plate. I think that's how my original Senton motor got knackered! Other than that I think I've mentioned all the things in the videos. Let me know how you get on. I will check out your channel and sub if I'm not already :-)
