One of the best rc channels out. Underrated because you tend to review a lot of budget friendly rc but the content is phenomenal.

[@disciplinerc]

Agreed 💯 👍

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks!! I’ve been trying to keep a good mix between budget friendly and pricey-ish.

[@DerbyCityRC]

😃🤜💥🤛😄

[@boxer951]

Ain't nothing wrong with budget friendly rc reviews.. that's how I found out about his channel since I started off in this hobby with budget rc trucks and now moved on to Arrma,traxxas etc.. The channel is great, I do agree.

[@k.f.jjoseph8243]

@@boxer951 never said there was anything wrong with it.

[@LKN117]

Really appreciate the parts list. Its pretty difficult sometimes to know for sure what parts are compatible and which aren't. Especially if someone doesn't have the same level of experience you do. So many of the channels out there do builds and never make a parts list or even show part numbers on screen. They just assume everyone knows exactly what they are talking about. It makes getting into the hobby quite a task starting from nothing.

[@TheflyingkiwiRC]

Great video and build. The alternative to this would be to buy a 3s Big Rock and install the center module as it already has the wider arms and handles better than the Granite due to its longer wheelbase.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks! That’s true!! But I also really like the air control and flips of the short wheelbase, but yes I agree that’s still a great alternative!

[@chax8587]

Your videos are great man, the little things like “STANCE LIFE” really make it a step above the rest!

[@DerbyCityRC]

I appreciate that bro!!!

[@ww3676]

Thanks for the video and links! I absolutely hated the stock slipper clutch on my Granite. Once it came loose I was never ever able to get it tight again. Even buying a whole new assembly, it worked its way loose eventually. This is a game changer for sure, and not dramatically expensive.

[@rantsandreviews]

I did the same upgrades to my Vorteks. It made the truck way better and was super simple.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Ya I was debating whether to do this to the vorteks or the granite, but my vorteks has much better ground handling so I chose this one!

[@courtneyjacobs4380]

Definitely like the idea of adding the center diff, as I looking to upgrade the slipper clutch. Awesome upgrade that was simply done

[@DerbyCityRC]

It helps a lot! Thanks!!

[@IzInAZ]

Just found the RTR for 270 with 5 months no interest on Amazon. Ordered the red and white. After being out of RC for years this seems like a good way back in. I like that it does just over 30 on 2s. I'm gonna play with it a bit before I put a wide kit on it, but for 30 bucks it has to be done. Will no doubt do a center diff but sexy metal shocks might be first. Gonna be a fun platform to play with. I just made my order and it gets here tomorrow. I'm excited :)

[@DerbyCityRC]

That’s a great deal!! Yes this is a perfect model to get started back up with! Upgrade as you go!!! I’m excited for you!!

[@disciplinerc]

Well played dude. The 3sBLX platform is one of my favorites of all time!! Cant wait to win it from you 😁🤘

[@DerbyCityRC]

Sorry, not sure why I’m just now seeing this comment. Thanks man! Yes the 3s platform is pretty slick! Need to get an infraction and a typhon!! Haha! Good luck and thanks for entering! 🤜💥🤛

[@chrisjames509]

Definitely going to do that to mine. I get sick of the slipper coming loose.

[@DerbyCityRC]

I hear ya! I had to tighten my old granites up atleast once so far.

[@markgrochowski7934]

I love that you do videos showing upgrades that the "average " RC person could/would do. As for the Gatorade bottle...if that wasn't Gatorade in it, someone needs to see the doctor ASAP.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks!🙏 And add a bit of water to their daily regimen 😆

[@williamcabello2142]

I don't mind changing out the arms and everything like you did the sentence I figured because since the big rock is already big I figured just change the shocks but I want my arms wider I want everything wide like the same you did a good job with that truck you got good videos bro keep up the good work❤

[@daylightdies7194]

Just done this today with your video as a guide and I just want to say thank you 🇬🇧

[@DerbyCityRC]

awesome!! You’re welcome!! 😃😊

[@tepidwheelsRC]

CENTRE DIFF EVERYTHING! Crazy wobbly handling is more amusing… until 30 seconds later you have to go and retrieve the car

[@DerbyCityRC]

Right!!

[@bill6639]

Man, your channel is fantastic! I love watching your upgrade videos. I really wish there was a way to modify the Savage XS to have a wider stance... I think it'd make it not tumble and roll as much and ultimately be more enjoyable...

[@RCvapor]

Awesome dude, transformed that granite into a beast 😁

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks man!! 😃

[@ciucciopipa]

I just came across this video this morning and will definitely do the wider stance mod (minus the center diff for now ) I got a brand new Granite 3s still in the box lol , been playing around with my thypoon 3s lately and got the Granite from Towerhobbies a couple months back at a great deal @$240 tax and shipping included. Love all your videos and the fact your boys join in the fun of the RC world , wish my boys would have join me but they're not in to my RC fun addiction ( Racing drones , planes , helicopters , cars and trucks) well thanks for all the good and fun videos you put out and happy bashing.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Ya that alone is the best mod I think!! Makes it much more enjoyable!! Thanks man!!! 😃

[@willanderson5088]

Love my granite. 6 years I’ve broken that paltuc spring between the bumper and bulkhead one spur gear and bearing and one body mount. Tough as hell

[@DerbyCityRC]

Yes they are!!

[@williamperri3437]

It was my 1st non Traxxas 4WD RC. The Arrma “Mega” Granite before they were Brushless 😊 I had it converted to brushless but there were a lot of problems with it being brushless back in 2018 but I kept at it and loved it! Then I finally got the BLX. The Granite and Redcat MT10E are my all time favorite Skate Park rigs!

[@DerbyCityRC]

Nice!! Ya the granite is a beast! Still trying to figure out what to do with the MT10E lol

[@williamperri3437]

You could just add a center diff or add on road wheels. It has the best stock suspension of any 10 scale monster truck I’ve ever encountered! 😊 if you ever find a skate park the MT 10 and the granite are kings oh and of course the rival!

[@DerbyCityRC]

Haven’t checked in a while but the center diff was discontinued I think 😕

[@williamperri3437]

@@DerbyCityRC it was but I found a few used on eBay.

[@DerbyCityRC]

@williamperri3437 nice! I need to be more diligent in my searches! Hopefully they don’t discontinue all the other parts!

[@Hungrybird474]

Time to go watch the Kraton 6 s stuff . I was wondering . My wheels looked Marty Feldman but I turnbuckled them to more straight with the cpl degree negative leaning in . I honestly can’t tell much of a difference . That damn rlaarlo though cake set up perfect . I don’t even know how to adjust the steering yet but I did learn to set the remote down after the Kraton 6s launched into my truck bed from the tailgate 😂. I can’t be the only one . Safety first . The big ones can be dangerous imho in the wrong hands . I still don’t know why people stand in front of them . Have a great weekend bro .

[@DerbyCityRC]

Love my Kraton 6s! Been way too long since I’ve driven it! It needs a rear diff bearing. That’s it!

[@BobbyS-dg3zl]

Keep up the amazing work your vids keep getting better ❤❤❤ LETS GOOOOOOOOOO🎉

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks!! 🙏 😃😃

[@RACEABLE]

exceptional video!!!

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks!!!

[@Hungrybird474]

Iv been enjoying the RC toys . Got a Kraton 6s and love it . Servo got replaced and the front center bone got bent back into shape . One of the rear tires is a little wobbly . That carbon fiber Rlaarlo though is also a sweet one . Smooth , quiet , quick , handles really good for a smaller guy imho oh and I changed my first diff and and got to do the spider gear thing , lol . Things are coming along nicely thanks to vids like this and I m getting closer to feeling comfortable with breaking stuff I know can be replaced . Hopefully stuff doesn’t break all the time though . I had a zee 3s 2200 in the hbx16980sa is what I think blew that rear diff apart . They have a battery that fits in 3s now . Have a great weekend dude

[@DerbyCityRC]

Awesome man!! Glad you’re building confidence and that my videos have helped! Have a great weekend yourself!!

[@NickPa777]

Yes, I was waiting for you to do this video! I was hoping for a few words comparing it to the MT10, but that could be a future showdown video.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Sweet! Ya that’s true I should have talked more about that. To me it made the granite a clear winner. It’s so much faster and more powerful than the MT and now it also has the better handling.

[@michaeldorich4485]

This a great quick project that seems to really improve the drivability. It jumps extremely well. There will be many people who will go out do the conversion after watching this video. Great idea.

[@DerbyCityRC]

It definitely was worth it, so I hope this gets others to do it! Thanks so much man!❤️

[@michaeldorich4485]

@@DerbyCityRC I thought of question. When you added the longer arms and turnbuckles, did you still have enough room on the slider drive shafts to the wheel without them coming apart?

[@DerbyCityRC]

@michaeldorich4485 yes, I was able to use the same shafts. The typhon (what these arms are made for) even uses the same shafts.

[@michaeldorich4485]

@@DerbyCityRC Thanks for the quick reply. My concern was that they would be extended and come apart easily. But, from what you said that won't happen.

[@DerbyCityRC]

@michaeldorich4485 I hear ya! On the stock granite they’re practically completely compressed, so there is plenty of room!

[@Whatsasnyder]

Well, I just started looking last night how to add a center diff, already got the RCAWD typhon arms installed but tips over a lot easier than expected still!

[@DerbyCityRC]

Interesting! Maybe the CD helps a lot more than I thought over just the wide.

[@Blast215RC]

Great content as always! you have brought me into the RC world. I have so many questions and want to learn more. I have finally broken an RC and I have no clue even where to begin with troubleshooting. Is there a place you went to learn? Do you have a Q&A board?

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks man! Out of curiosity, how did you find me? Were you already searching for RC videos? What car did you break? What part? I’m self taught but I have a pretty extensive mechanical background. I don’t have any Q&A board unfortunately but I can try to help answer some questions here

[@nickmilton3895]

@@DerbyCityRC Well it's a funny story, sorta. I have had a few kid level RCs like the Bezgar tb141 to play with my dog. She loves chasing them down. It's a fun way to get her some exercise. Wished it worked to get me some too. I also bought a Hot Wheels Rc trick truck for my grandson. Yeah I'm that old. He loves jumping it off the built in ramp. So I figured I would get a new one that would be a little faster that both I could use with the dog and he could play with. I watched a few videos on here and came across your video where you upgraded the HBX 2995 to 3s and then jumped your tree. That was all it took I was hooked. So I bought it that day, but I used Amazon. I "can't" direct order from Banggoods since its Chinese based. Now I watch everything you post but only after locking my credit cards in a safe. I have bought two more since then. Another HBX the 16809a but its confusing me since it really built more like the 16890sa. the other one I bought was a junker DeeRC boat so the GK can use it in a pool.

[@tomcat205]

i just bought a granite with 3s 7600mah 120c is a beast, love it

[@DerbyCityRC]

Definitely a beast!

[@TheMitsosBlog]

I think that centered diff will be a great upgrade for my typhon 3s.

[@DerbyCityRC]

I hope to get a typhon soon, but I bet you’re right!

[@jah-jah87]

I’d do the big rock I think. Faster and crazier than the mt10. Still love the mt10 though!!

I still think it’s worth it 😃 I’m pretty sure you will still need to grind down the chassis for the big rock. Not sure if the battery tray is longer on the BR or not, but yes it would very well be worth it on that too!!

@DerbyCityRC thanks for the quick response. They do come in a 3 pack, but there are several sizes. It would be awesome if you could post the part number. If that is not a lot of trouble. Thank you again😊

[@DerbyCityRC]

@miket8787 wait, maybe I’m thinking of a different part. Which part do you mean?

[@miket8787]

@DerbyCityRC Sorry, the battery strap spacer. Due to the motor mount being larger. The spacers is shorter. Can't use the stock one. Hope this helps. Thanks

[@DerbyCityRC]

@miket8787 found the part number! ARA311169 👍👍👍

[@t3floz]

Yo man great as always! I can buy an outcast 4s or a granite which I would make wider. I mainly jump and do backflips with my cars. I want it to be durable and easy to work on since I don’t really like to be doing that. What would you recommend and why?

[@DerbyCityRC]

Sorry for late reply, but I’d probably go with the outcast. It’s bigger, already wider and already has the center diff. Just as durable or atleast very close and just as easy to work on.

[@seanchristman9548]

What tires would you upgrade to for the granite? My stock tires wore out pretty quick and 1 of them is ready to come apart. I do mostly pavement driving, some jumps(nothing crazy like you)haha, occasionally run around in the grass. Thanks

[@DerbyCityRC]

Sorry for the late reply. I put proline badlands on it recently and for pavement im not too crazy about them. They stick too good and cause it to roll over just as easily if not more easily. It’s possible pro line trenchers may work better. Have you tried new ones yet?

[@williamcabello2142]

To make my big rock talk like that sentence should I do the same or should I just change out the the shocks and make it taller

[@DerbyCityRC]

If the typhon arms are wider than the big rock, my personal preference, but I’d widen it too!

[@KiaReancho]

Best Chanel out there!!!

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks!! 😊

[@RC-Closer1313]

Oh how are the shocks on this citroen? Do I need to order some?

[@DerbyCityRC]

So far so good! It’s not a jumper so I haven’t noticed any issues lol

[@erikadorno7878]

Can you do that to the vorteks boost

[@DerbyCityRC]

I believe it would work the same way, but I don’t have a boost to verify with. Don’t see why it wouldn’t.

[@armandopace6113]

Hi mate I'm in process of fitting the centre differential on my grandson's vorteks 4x4 3s. I'm sick to death of centre slipper clutch. Do you have the part number of the block that goes under centre drive shaft and between motor mount that's screwed in place from 4mm screw ?

[@DerbyCityRC]

Here is the link to it. I’ve only seen it in a set with the center diff housing. When I ordered it from Jenny’s, it was missing but I emailed them and they apologized and sent it to me. www.avantlink.com/click.php?tt=cl&merchant_id=4b85b2b7-558e-4304-89fc-54958c8f47f0&website_id=c2f80f1b-dbf2-4cba-9b5c-3080c7657977&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amainhobbies.com%2Farrma-center-differential-housing-assembly-ara311169%2Fp1526672

[@ChristopherRobinFPV]

Any recommendations on replacement tires? Mine got eat up on the gravel.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Oh ya gravel does tear these up quick. Especially the Senton tires. So most people recommend proline badlands it seems. Just haven’t tried yet but that may be what I go with.

[@geodude3966]

If you're widening a Granite, why not just get a Big Rock? It's already got wider arms stock and a longer wheelbase for less wheelies.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Me and others like the short wheelbase for the flips. Plus a lot of people already have a granite. Still a good option though.

[@MwaleedU]

hey mate i ordered oil shocks absorber for my JJRC Q130, can you suggest me which grade oil i should use in them?

[@DerbyCityRC]

Well I just used the shocks form the hypergo and I’m. It sure what oil is in them. Probably closer to 50-80wt if you want to do big jumps, but otherwise maybe 30wt. Trial and error you really just need to see what you like best. I usually go with one of those 3 weights.

[@Евгений-и1т8ь]

Tell me what size (long) battery fit when you installed the center differential?

[@DerbyCityRC]

It’s right at 5-7/16 inches

[@Евгений-и1т8ь]

@@DerbyCityRC My batteries are 138mm long. I hope they fit there. I don't quite understand the dimensions in "inches" 5-7/16 looks like 406mm in length... 0_o

[@DerbyCityRC]

@user-fj4fr9ns9x it’s ok, no one really understands inches 🤣 5-7/16 in he’s is right at 138mm. So it will fit, but might be tight. Having the battery cables come from the top of the battery and not out of the end would be very helpful.

[@321Ludoed123]

Hey, test hnr mars-x. I think it's very interesting

[@DerbyCityRC]

I do think that car looks good, hopefully I can snag it one of these days!
