Review: ARRMA Senton 3S BLX and Typhon 3S BLX

[@emgee44]

This is the older version, looking forward to your review of the V3 and your thoughts on the updates.

[@ETAI106]

Cause of u i bought Arrma as my first car.. Mojave.... thx !!!

[@mojaverc1585]

ETAI106 good choice. The mojave is awesome

[@dynasty4851]

Dag, it's 4am here in the states. However, not missing an Aussie RC Playground. Can't wait for the next carnage. Like the 3s lineup from Arrma.

[@jasongregory3950]

They seemed to have made all the suggested changes you spoke of. I ordered a blue and red one to race with my sons. Your reviews are valuable. Thank you.

[@murphy-ox7cu]

Cutting a slot in the chassis under the spur gear made a world of difference for me. So much sand and dirt used to accumulate in the motor module but now it just falls out the slot.

[@RCorDIE]

Hey that's great idea. I'm going to try that

[@restinpiecesrc5528]

I got the v3 not long ago im looking forward to seeing your thoughts on it

[@theirishaxe9405]

I had the same experience! I was so super worried about plastic drive shafts but not one problem after many beatings

[@blindj]

Power module typhon 3s. I too was getting a ton of debris underneath the module. I cut a slot in the chassis directly underneath the spur gear (which I would prefer not to do) But it helped immensely giving sand/dirt a place to escape. The size is about 3mm wide by 6 mm long

[@BA-ev4cq]

Best review ive seen i just bought the 2s for my daughter and 3s for me..the typhon 👍

[@patricklankhorst5176]

2 days ago i had a small pebble and a piece of glass stuck underneath the cooling rib of the motor, making it all but impossible to remove the motor compartment. Also, like you mentioned, a bit of sand in the gears. Senton 3s btw.

[@benjaminallen2370]

I have the Typhon and Granite 3s BLX's... the driveshaft on my Typhon looks like a wood lathe project in the motor area (but hasn't snapped yet) - for the center driveshaft scoring issue (when pebbles get wedged between motor), I cut a square piece of flexible plastic (eg mulk jug, etc) and made a small "tunnel" in that area - taped to the red battery sheild, and then keyed into a cooling fin on the motor. Has worked well on keeping the the schmoo out of that area.

[@nemocheerio]

Regarding the dirt that collects under the power pod; I burned through two spur gears on my Senton because sand collected in the low area and would get shoveled into the gear box. I then cut a hole in the chassis like they have in the 6s cars. The sand just gets blown out the bottom now and haven't had a problem with the gear since. I have taken it apart several times to check the gears and was able to disassemble fairly easily, but do have to pry it the first little bit to get it apart.

[@JollyGreen79]

For the issue with dirt and grime getting in the gearbox with the pinion and spur gears, simply apply some marine or axle grease around the opening on the bottom of the cassis where the spur gear is exposed as well as around the outside bottom edge of the drive assembly. The grease will collect all the sand and crap trying to get in there. Simply wipe off when you're done, reapply and problem solved. Also, slide and secure with a drop of super glue a small o ring where the shaft that connects to the back end of the drive shaft comes out of the adjustable motor plate. That also helps a lot. Got this info off a blog and it really helped. If you want more info let me know and I'll see if I can find the link.

[@wiiftw]

Thanks, your reviews are always great. Sold me on the gen one 6s Typhon back when.

[@restinpiecesrc5528]

Vas if you still have them try putting the zd racing pirate3 shocks on the senton, just need bushings for the top, they work very well

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thanks for the tip. Sadly, I sold my ZD Racing trucks a long time ago.

[@restinpiecesrc5528]

@@AussieRCPlayground well the shocks are about 30 for all 4, or some use the typhon 6s shocks

[@restinpiecesrc5528]

I recently posted 2 videos jumping mine but i dont got the fun jumps like you got

[@restinpiecesrc5528]

You should check out the senton with granite tires or badlands and take them to the big jumps you jumped the mojave on

[@lramage]

I really like that you do maintenance. I'm not too good at working on my truck.

[@franklee6301]

3 years later and I've cut three drive shafts due to small rocks in my first month with the car. Bought an outcast 4s and cut the driveshaft on the first run. Guess they havent fixed that issue. Definitely a weakness.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Hmm, not sure that's a "weakness" of the car, but rather lack of care or prevention from the user. If after you cut the first driveshaft due to rocks you didn't take any precautions to prevent this, then that's on you, brother. You're obviously running the truck in areas where rocks of a certain size are getting stuck in places they shouldn't be and if you don't notice that during your run, check on the car regularly or cover the chassis with a net (covers available online), then I don't think it's fair to blame the truck. I assume you're not willing or able to change locations, so maybe see if there's another way you can prevent this from happening. 🤷‍♂️ Or maybe look at upgrading to a Mojave with all metal drivetrain, you cut any driveshafts then. 😉 I still have this Senton and I've now changed the body and front and rear bumpers to look more Monster Truck-ish. I have dozens of runs on this car and aside from a cut tyre (hit the body) and a broken A-arm due to a crash, I'm yet to cut any driveshafts on mine after all these years. 😎

[@HyperReality4]

I defintly agree with the tires and FOAMS!!! Great reviews!

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thank you. 😊

[@jamalparker8263]

I ran mines for 10 mins and back tire bust.

[@restinpiecesrc5528]

Vas, have you consideres getting just the tires and foams of the dboots sidewinder 2's from the 6s and mounting them on the 3s

[@FC-fq1gk]

Great review,bought a typhon mega and converted over to brushless,your right these truck's can take a beating and great value

[@jiml.825]

I love you videos, especially the Carnage videos. :-) The Senton 3s was my first ground vehicle. I ran it so much that I wore the front skid plate all the way through. No other broken parts. I find that to be tough. The only negative that I have found is if you run It Wide Open on 3s the body will rub the tires And send it cartwheeling down the road. It has been collecting a little dust lately because I have been running my Mojave, Dbxl-e 2.0, and Infraction most of the time. Keep up the great work. Thank you, Jim

[@davidtruelove5022]

Great comment

[@babupranav]

half of the issues for my typhon 3s I solved by stuffing foam in the gaps at the rear around the motor area - helped to keep the dirt out. Replacing the spur bearing with sealed ceramic is also a cheap option that will reduce the play and help spur longevity. Otherwise, I love the car- has the sharp handling/acceleration of a 1/10th buggy but can actually handle real-world terrain.

[@PilotRyanMedia]

great review Vas! Blown away at how tough these are. I have broken the rims on two of my typhon tires. I put the Duratrax tires on, rock solid ever since

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thank you Ryan, appreciate the feedback. 😊👍

How do you clean your cars? Water and air compressor? Or do you have some magic secrets.

Will you try the new version 3 Arrma typhon 3S and of senton 3S? Or the big rock or granite

[@derekwilson9559]

Agree about the motor mount area review And agree I don't know how to fix it apart from have spares

[@ldm125]

I agree with almost all of this, except value should be 5/5. I have a 3s Typhon and it's honestly done nothing but impress me. To be fair, I bought a v3 so some of the things criticized have been fixed! Great review!

[@rueagonvyceratops2879]

Thumbs up for the Arrmas . dont have one yet , but as soon as amazon gets some more arrma typhons in the 3 s blx ones , im getting one . i thought about the mega version too , but i need to watch more reviews on the none brushlees one

[@NMENFO]

Nice vid, my mates got the typhon and has had the motor bearing explode and gone through 2 chassis with minimal impacts and the ball joints in the toe links have worn out in less than a wk..id have to disagree with the duability rating

[@AussieRCPlayground]

I don't blame you for disagreeing with the score, if I had those issues I would have scored very differently also. Hope it gets better for your though. 😊👍

[@stevenbarlow7088]

It has, I bought a Losi Eight-E 🤣🤣

[@marxnex71]

Another great video Vas. The thing that I think needs changing in my opinion is the tab on the power module that you lift to remove it. Surely it would be easier to have the tab fixed to the chassis/diff housing rather than attached to the module itself? Cos trying to keep it lifted while pulling the module out is too tricky. Also, some sort of bumper under the motor to support it during heavy landings. Too easy to bend the motor mount when all the weight of the motor is put through the mount only. 👍🏻

[@alexstrobel2670]

Great review Vas. I bought the BRCC and did a few upgrades. I love it. Can't wait to get one of the 6s rigs though.

[@Krazeeman]

Was surprised to see this review, oddly enough your unboxing video sealed the deal and pushed me to buy a senton to accompany my traxxas slash 4x4. I for one definately appreaciate your views and opinions from the pros to the cons. At first i wasnt exactly blown away by it, mine did come with the tactic system but it did suffer from leaky shocks and the tires blew apart in the second run. Arrma did warranty tires and the shock rebuild kits (still leaked) but in comparison to the money ive spent on the slash to get it upto par with the senton , i believe the senton is the better investment for your dollar. Thank you for following up on a long time use/review

[@NathanStorer-RC]

I have the Typhon 3s, and agree that the center drive shaft is an issue with it wearing out. That being said, I have a Rustler 4x4 VXL and the center driveshaft is also wearing out, even though it's aluminum. What it comes down to is that small rocks/pebbles get stuck in these smaller vehicles. They would have to either find a way to hide/seal the center driveshaft so it's away from rocks, find a way to give it more clearance from anything that could get a rock/pebble jammed, or provide some sort of fabric dust cover for the internals. I also have issue with the fact that the servo seemed a bit weak, but that's cheap enough to replace, and not everyone is going to care. Last thing I noticed is that it turns further right than left, and it looks like it's due to the fact that the servo saver hits the plastic housing before it should. That being said, I feel all of these are minor nitpicks given the price. It really handles better than any other vehicle I own, and I highly recommend it.

[@RCorDIE]

Hey brother that was a great review. I enjoy your reviews as you always point out the good AND the bad. Long live honesty! I have a Senton too and enjoy it. No problems so far.

[@gerardscheffer8848]

It took a while but still a excellent and honest review! For what I have seen on KZbin the 3S line is very good and strong. Great cars for the money and maybe more affordable for those who can’t affort or don’t want to spend as much as a 6S would cost.

[@jacksrccars347]

That wheelie bar is going to be ground to nub in no time . It can't keep the wheels down on that senton. What a beast . Awesome video mate 👍

[@klausknudsen106]

The shocks on my outcast 4s witch are the same, are leaky x4, and my brother's typhon has 4 leaky shocks, and we do not bash so hard, so the shocks are a more common problem.

[@slick2500]

Yeah the leaking shock issue is definitely the biggest problem with these cars, on Facebook and the forums I see multiple posts per day about the shocks. The shocks when they aren't leaking are tuned perfectly out of the box though and work great.

[@klausknudsen106]

@@slick2500 true, perfect tuning, just a shame it wan't last long tho ;)

[@yaffajaff]

All 4 of my 3s Typhon shocks are leaking! I've heard they need better or more o-rings within the shock. Will have to rebuild them soon to find out Oh yeah and my spur rubbed on the plastic motor mount casing and the dust from it nearly blew the bearing. I've done my own fix for it

[@RCorDIE]

I had pissy shocks too. I took apart cleaned and put thicker oil in. That has worked so far for me. I think was 60w oil

[@petechipps9770]

Red Tamiya orings fixed my leaky shocks. Great video Vas. 👍👍👍

[@bigpeteyork2162]

Great video I am trying to do a lot of research into these but I am stuck on which one to get. if you could only get one car, which model would you get between these 2 and the granite thanks pete.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Hmm, I'm a monster truck guy, so I'd probably get the Granite. But between these two alone is kinda hard. It really comes down to where you're gonna run the car and what sort of bashing you'll be doing, then that might help narrow it down... Hope that helps.

Hey do you think i will able to swap typhoon body to senton because rear body mounts look same maybe some modification will able do that, please let me know because senton is 100 dollar less than typhoon, thanks

[@stevewest7260]

I have a problem with the 6's line. The diffs are not enclosed, there open on the bottom supposedly the chassis makes the seal, but it doesn't, dirt and sand gets in and mixes with the grease and destroys the gears. I've since when replacing the gears silicone the dif housing to the chassis works. But It a BIG FAULT !

[@moped121]

Which one do you prefer

[@mordenheim75]

Hi Aussie great Video, i have one question for you, they all at the same price Senton 3s BLX, Typhon 3s BLX and granite 3S BLX, wich one sould i buy, this will be mi second RC car, and i whant it for runing outside in grass and mud, wich one is better =?

Yup, I'd pick the Granite as well. Or the Big Rock Crew Cab.

[@ulysseguillet64]

Which set-up will more easily overheat, 16T on 6s or 20T on 4s? What are the advantages of each of them? thanks! Edit: I'm talking for the Typhon 6s

[@LulzRoyce]

Guys just buy a dust cover for all your RC's its cheap and easy way to keep the guts clean. And you don't really have to worry about overheating unless it's a hot day in which case don't run it on really dirty surfaces.

[@GreatLakesRC]

Very nice thorough review Vas! My two biggest issues with the 3s line are the leaky shocks and the slipper clutch. I am constantly rebuilding the slipper assembly since it loosens up on me. Could be my bad landings 🤣 As for the shocks I have had two different sets leak. I have rebuilt and replaced orings, ect it doesn't matter. So I replaced them, no worries since! An 80% is a solid score, with the low price I would bump it in my mind to an 85% of course I got mine with a Tactic radio so that helps! Hopefully the STX3 will start shipping with any new 3s and 4s releases 👍

[@acourtneylawson2065]

Are the new mega line brushless ready other than the spur and plastic input gears because I have an extra new blx 185 brushless system I would like to use...on 4s is it worth the mega setup or should I just get the senton blx?

[@RazorRC]

Good review as always! For this class of vehicles, I don't think there is a more durable or better value vehicle out there, so I would have given them 5/5. But I rate them on a relative scale vs. the other products on the market, not on an absolute scale.

As always Vas, great review and nice jumping. Best way to start of the day! :D What could be a cool project for you would be to up the Power System on one of those cars and absolutely go crazy. xD I have done that myself, I call it the Malvion (mix between the BRCC & the Typhon on 1:10 Proline Truggy Tires), it's an absolute beast. I run it on 3S with a MAX8 ESC & a TP Power 4030 motor (stock top speed, but can pop wheelies on tarmac even at half speed).

[@EXTREMERC416]

Esc 3.9v lvc issues cutting at 3.9v or higher they got send 1-2 esc in remplacement and still was the same thing they got send the blx120 at one point. Front motor bearing failing after a while in a few models. Shocks leaking comonly the sooner they leave china the better

[@whiskeytango1744]

Great review! Right on with those awful STX radios. Your channel has been a great help in my choice for rc cars.

[@phamous301]

The senton is such a nice car to start with 1 10 vehicles. But the steering is a bit sloppy in comparison with a 1 8 6s kraton. But in the end, this car delivers for its price point.

[@NathanStorer-RC]

I found the same with my 3s Typhon. I changed the Servo, and that seemed to help. Also, I noticed that the rear wheels were a bit wobbly. I replaced the rear driveshafts and bearings which 100% removed the slop. Between the two changes, it's the best handling vehicle I own! I have 2WD and 4WD Traxxas Rustler VXL, 3s Arrma Granite (worst handling of the bunch) and this 3s Arrma Typhon.

[@phamous301]

I changed the bearings already, but my rear end like to swing a lot. Servo is stock. But I don't mind the speed of it, I just don't like how it's not going straight if you pull the trigger on it

[@NathanStorer-RC]

@@phamous301 bearings are only going to help so much. For me, the drive shafts were warn around where the bearings touch the shaft. I had to replace both, the bad bearings (which were the culprit), and the shaft which was warn due to the bad bearings.

I think it's a fair time to do a review he's had both vehicles for over a year which is a much better time frame to do a review than some of these guys who pull it out of the box run it up and down the street a few times then make a review of it. Long term reviews are usually more honest and trustworthy than a review that comes out the same day as the vehicle.

All i can say is spray it with WD-40 before taking it apart it will help eat up some of the dirt

[@zqzj]

Drive Shaft Fix: Trim down the red tab near the rear of the drive shaft. I've found this to be the culprit. I have no idea why the Arrma engineers thought this thing was a good idea. It's the only fatal flaw in this fantastic vehicle.

[@Mftv12]

Is it just me or do the tyres on the senton look like badlands?

[@davidandbethshoemake8342]

I hate arrma senton! I have had nothing but issues since day one. I have the arrma senton blx 3s, and every time I drive it something breaks. Also I cannot run 3s, when I do it shuts down everytime. I then have to turn it off and then turn it back on to get it to run normal again. Arrma has sent me replacement motors, esc’s and a new receiver/transmitter and still the same issue.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Maybe it's something you're doing..? Perhaps you're doing something that causes the car to overheat? Or is there something causing a bind of some sort in the driveline that you may not have diagnosed and is causing the car to overheat? It doesn't make since that so many other people have no issues with their cars (myself included) and yet, you do. There has to be a reason and it can't be just the car's fault.

[@svartell]

Hey Vas nice review! Love these arrma rc cars. Am still tossing up which one to get. Are you going to review the blx version of the granite?? I like the Mt platform.

[@ryansorkness7396]

Bought my son a 3s granite 4x4 last year. Only thing broken is the body after some hard use. Totally recommend this truck. Just make sure you get a 3s battery with at least 50c discharge rate or it will cut out on you

[@Somatik]

Indeed leaky shocks! And part support here in Europe is a disaster. Been waiting for new front shocks 5+ months now! Other than that I love my Typhon.

Would you rate a Arrma Senton 4x4 higher than a Traxxas Slash 4x4?

[@kadomanior1233]

From Australia and watching this.. feels so weird

[@168grhp]

Solid cars for the price.

[@yonicozac]

Must say I both agree and disagree with your review. Shocks leaks on all of my 2 cars, no matter how many re-builds and how much green slime I use, only fix is 3rd part o-rings or the shocks from hot racing. i exploded 5 motor bearings, it's a joke, I moved to chines motors which holds much better. power module opening at the bottom crushes spurs with rock and sand, I sealed it with tape and it's working great. But after fixing all those issues (which should already be fixed by Arrma IMO) - these cars are pretty amazing! I love mine. but they have major flaws.

[@ethiopianeyes]

Also i hear gorilla taping over the hole on bottom of chasis were the servo is cures the servo issue.

So how does one do the tape mod on the power module I just had to rebuild a Senton Mega slipper clutch assembly because of this
