The Most Overkill 3s Arrma Granite In The World!

[@johnharrington3312]

Looks very cool. I have the vorteks but the granite is my go to basher.

[@DoRC]

Vortex is a sweet truggy!

Do RC 👋. Nice build ! Wow . Just today I was looking on Facebook marketplace and saw a brand new in box red and white granite v3 4x4 . $200. He said he just posted an hour ago so I drove 20 minutes and saw it was indeed bnib . He had originally bought two . I don’t like the shocks already and will check the 2.0mm screws inside the drive shafts before driving . It also says in the manual to set the esc for a lipo ? I thought they came pre set to lipo . Says it doesn’t

[@DoRC]

If it's a brushless granite it's definitely set for lipo from the factory.

[@chrisharrison101]

Love the build. I'm about where you're at but I did the hr helical diffs and cases and I made a steel reinforcement plate that screws to the stock motor plate and have had any bending after 15-20 ft high air outs but I also run the rcawd driveshafts. Unfortunately they are not splined to the granite outdrives and are only held with 1 set screw. Just got done drilling and tapping 2 more set screws for the rear as I've gone through 2 sets of rear outdrives. Still only on 3s though. But I have a feeling after I get this outdrive problem dealt with it should be comfortable with 4s possibly 6. Maybe I'll have to share some vids when I get it going again. Love to see that I'm not the only one that'll put stupid money into such a cheap rig.

[@DoRC]

Yeah I've since sold that truck but it got a lot of use. It was my go-to rig for handing off the transmitter to pretty much anyone because I knew it probably wasn't going to get broken.

Good job bud that is one nice little animal you made 👊😎

[@DoRC]

Thanks!

Man that thing is all that!

Thanks I like it! Thanks for watching and a sub is appreciated :-)

[@racingtirol]

Looks very durable💪👍

[@DoRC]

Yep it is. Thanks for watching!

[@rockman49er]

Looks like fun I need to get my vehicles out been on the shelf for a couple of years now

[@DoRC]

Yeah I've been having a lot of fun with them :-)

[@EJ-74]

Awesome build. Those tires are sick. Nice triple 🔥👍✌️

[@DoRC]

Thanks! Lots more good stuff coming up. If you arent subscribed a sub is greatly appreciated:)

[@ImTMBR]

If I can have this question answered would be lovely as can’t seem to find a actual answer, I want to fit the Arrma Typhon lower arms to make it wider, do I have to get bigger drive shafts aswell if so can you link me please

[@ImTMBR]

@UCqtSsiMvqXmNry9Sz-p3bVA Arrma granite

[@DoRC]

As far as I know you will not need longer drive shafts. I'm pretty sure they all take the same drive shafts. Thanks for watching and a sub is appreciated!

[@ImTMBR]

@@DoRC ahh okay well just so you know if you fit the CVD shafts from Arrma the wider arms don’t work as one of the shafts are smaller for some reason, found this the hard way

[@DoRC]

Weird

[@genevakeith3876]

Say "Lunsford Racing Titanium Turnbuckles" three times fast. Nice upgrades 😎

[@DoRC]

Thanks. Nice paint job:)

[@Lacoastal]

Awesome build bro. I’m looking to go 4s also. M2C motor mount is sweet. Bash on!!

[@DoRC]

Thanks. Im happy with it:). If you aren't already subscribed a sub is appreciated!

Great video any chance of u making a video on how to stop arrma 3s slipper clutch coming loose a detailed 1 pls because I'm stupid lol 😆🤣

[@DoRC]

Not sure I can be too helpful with that because I've never really had an issue with mine coming loose. I'll do some research into it and if I come up with an answer I'll let you know for sure! Thanks for watching and a sub is appreciated :-)

[@paulosrcs185]

@@DoRC already subbed a few weeks back and thanks bro 🙏👊

[@DoRC]

@@paulosrcs185 awesome thanks!

[@JPRC_CRAZINESS]

I just wish they would come out with a upgrade option for the slipper assembly.

[@DoRC]

Maybe I've just been lucky but since I installed the aluminum plates in mind I haven't had any issues with it. A center differential upgrade would be cool but I don't think there's enough room with the current design

[@toddbertram6556]

The body looks great, reminds me a little of a skateboard deck I had in the mid 80's. Fun truck, sometimes it is fun to have a little beast. I did an over build on a mini revo and ran it on 4s. That thing was a little honey badger, it would just take everything. Thanks for the video.

[@DoRC]

Thanks! Ill pass your compliment on to the painter:). It is a lot of fun! Thanks for watching and if you aren't already subscribed a sub is appreciated :-)

[@hi-defcarwash2668]

Thousands of dollars , boy you just mad the car heavy 😂😂

[@DoRC]

A bit heavier yes but also a lot more durable!

[@lowridr2]

not if you upgrade all the right parts makes it more durable

[@DoRC]

@@lowridr2 agreed. I'm not for upgrading just to upgrade but every single upgrade on this truck was there to make something more durable

[@colerippeon3903]

What shock oil did you use in the proline shocks? Did you go a heavier weight than stock?

[@DoRC]

I don't remember exactly. I think it was 50 weight but I could be wrong it was a while ago.

[@bernardware6904]

Love those wheels and tires. Where did you find those?

[@DoRC]

Thanks! They're actually listed on eBay right now. Vitavon wheels and proline black mamba tires. Thanks for watching and a sub is appreciated :-)

[@2morrowMuggins]

And YES...In my opinion...all of those upgrades are necessary. Amazing job!. I've done the same thing to my Kraton 4S with all of the same upgrades as you with the exception of the shocks...I went HR. But will be installing the Typhon 6s shocks this weekend. Looking at it with all of the upgrades I feel proud of it convincing myself that it can keep up with the 6S rigs LOL.

[@DoRC]

I'm happy with mine too :-) if you aren't subscribed a sub is appreciated!

[@chargelead9429]

That body is nice! Did you do a splatter effect paint or how did you do it?

[@DoRC]

My girlfriend painted it. Yes she splattered it with a paintbrush. I will pass your compliments on to her :-) thanks for watching and a sub is appreciated!

[@chargelead9429]

@@DoRC Nice! I’m subscribed now! What paint did she use, spray can or airbrush paint?

[@DoRC]

Neither. It was just a thinned out acrylic art paint

[@christiansrcs7789]

those wheels look like they go on a rock crawler HAHA that’s cool how much money you spent on it i need to get that m2c motor mount and i also need metal gears for the front and then my kraton 4s is bulletproof

[@DoRC]

Probably around $1,500. Yeah those tires are fun :-). Thanks for watching and a sub is appreciated :-)

I don't get what are these Vitavon wheels good for. They look really strange

[@DoRC]

Theyre just a bit of fun. They get good traction and shoot giant rooster tails:) Thanks for watching and if you aren't subscribed a sub is appreciated!

[@abw9857]

You said you didn’t replace the rod ends, but if they don’t hold up which ones would you replace them with?

[@DoRC]

Rpm would be the way to go!

[@2morrowMuggins]

@@DoRC searching the RPM site...I don't see where they make Rod-Ends for the 3S-4S line. Do you have a link?

[@DoRC]

@@2morrowMuggins they don't make one specifically for the 3s line but I know they make ones that are compatible. I've never actually purchased any of them. It would probably be best to ask in one of the arrma groups on Facebook as I'm sure plenty of people have that information and I don't want to guess and give you the wrong part number

[@Marek_Z_RC]

Great build 🤩 👍 Almost all upgrades possible. I think that CustomRCupgrades makes some parts for Arrma 3s/4s too, chassis bar, titanium skidates... My Kraton 4s is sometimes annoying, I don't like slipper clutch and steering, but these are probably the best cars for beginners 🙂 🚀

[@DoRC]

I'm usually not a fan of the slipper clutch but with the aluminum plates I have in mind it has been behaving itself. I might have to take a look at those crcu upgrade :-)

[@stanleypiontkowski1091]

All that money put into it and my vortex 3s stock out of the box is faster the money you put inside car it doesn't really the only judge maybe 15 ft I mean it doesn't hurt as much power same as cars out there that you can buy for what it cost

[@DoRC]

The point wasn't really to make the truck fast. It's a monster truck not really a speed run car. The point was to make it super durable and have fun along the way both things I accomplished :-) that being said in these kinds of projects aren't for everyone.
