Good one Tomely. That's awesome. So many people complain about the Granite rolling over all the time. This seems like a great upgrade. Thanks for including the part numbers. 👍👍

[@MarkJohnMorris]

Did you ever tune the suspension? Ive done this to my big rock with v1 kraton 4s arms, used same zd shocks, and I put 3000 cst oil in. Perfect 👌

[@miguel360kmc]

I would love to see a full build video on this truck. Fully upgrading everything. Turning it into the absolute ultimate basher

[@JkDSnake]

That modification is absolutely worth it for the smiles and fun! Keep dialing in the suspension and travel then bash away. I was smiling the whole time you drove it. Now remember, you can take turns much faster now so a race may need to be in a future video. I'm still using the 4S V1 drive shafts. Maybe that is why I don't have the rubbing you do? Replacing the 3S parts that usually fail with stronger 4S parts makes the modification a good one. I use mine 5 days a week. With regular preventative maintenance it just keeps going. The poor thing regularly hits hidden stumps, wash out ruts, and bricks hidden in grass. I drive it up street curbs at an angle a lot too. The truck keeps on going. Yes, I do get paid to do this. It's nice to get away from the desk, go outside and drive the R/C truck. You get to clear your head and come back into the office in a better frame of mind.

[@marktsarenko3943]

You get paid to use an rc car

[@JkDSnake]

@@marktsarenko3943, yes, a portion of my job is to use a modified Big Rock (this super wide alteration) along with a Proboat Aerotrooper to deter geese from areas rented out for events. This practice is endorsed by the Humane Society and PETA. I also register every year with the Department of Fish and Wildlife.

@@JkDSnake that’s pretty sick lmao

[@kolten808]

It close to a notorious V1 4s. The Arrma mega/3s platform can be transformed into any style with a mix of components. I’ve been doing this since I got into the hobby about 5 years ago. What a flash back thank you for sharing 😄🍻

[@rccrazy]

This is exactly what my Arrma Krayon is (Typhon Mega Hybrid) I would just need full offset wheels. Definitely makes for good stability👌

[@TomleyRC]

Noice 😎👌

[@hobbymanrc79]

Nice build. I used the arms off of my wide big rock. Not as wide but noticeably wider with better handling than out of the box. Great channel! Great content! 🫡

[@doubledome2076]

I was disappointed with the way the Granite always rolls over, unlike the big rock. Another great video ‼️ 👍👍🤘🤘🦾🦾

[@TomleyRC]

This one doesn’t haha

[@doubledome2076]

@Tomley RC 👍👍🦾🦾

[@Losi5t20]

Again, great video looks badass. The skate park edit was spot on with music in the background, and you can hear the wide beast. Like when you can here the RC with the music. I hope the win Have a good week

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks mate. Really appreciate the feedback… music and montages are always hard to get right

[@dexterbeattie7884]

Love this build Phil! Looks like a really good time!!

[@TomleyRC]

It drove so nicely. Just need to get that suspension tuned

[@SilentSassin]

​@Tomley RC love the build man! Awesome stuff...having bashed around with it, you think the ZD racing shocks are the best option? Wanting to do this to my Vorteks

[@Rockatha]

I love the way Arrma parts are interchangeable. That's a great feature.

[@twinklinglicin]

granite was my first rc car. and still probably my favorite. the senton is also really fun as well. well done. really is a great platform.

[@rcmakingtracks18]

That's awesome Phil, love my granite, probably my most used rc next to my capra. Mine also has wide arms but not as extreme as yours, lol. Great video, thanks for sharing. John

I thought about doing this to my granite a long time ago. Love that thing. Mine is quite upgraded and is now 4s.

[@shanemorris419]

Great truck, nice build. Just to be clear, those measurements on your purple table mat are centimeters, not millimeters 😊. Keep up the great vids!

[@TomleyRC]

Haha… oh yeah 😂… it would be pretty small if it was in mm

[@rodneyhendrix93]

Thanks for adding excitement back into Rc creation ❤

[@michaeldorich4485]

This is a fun project and you created a truck that will be difficult to roll over on sharp turns. That is a big plus when you're by yourself. Very creative.

[@carlosguterrez995]

Get the shock towers from the v2 outcast should help in the travel. Cool build!!!👍😎

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic build, Phil! Looks great indeed! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@gogotrololo]

LMFAO I love the MCM snip 0:44 hahahahahahaha

[@NPCRC]

Just have to add the 4S upper diff housings to get the taller towers. Then the longer shocks will fit this better. I did this for a customer on his Big Rock and went with all the arms, shocks and upper bulkheads to make it work well!

[@Pablo668]

Awesome stuff. If it works it wasn't stupid. The Monster Beetle has a similar issue when the suspension is fully extended. Referred to as juddering.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes… not perfect with those long arms, but still loads of fun

[@speckledjim_]

I did the exact same thing with a Mojave EXB using A arms from a V3 Talion, worked a treat

[@chrislang7460]

[@jaredharrison9271]

The MCM reference was good😂 little nod to us Aussie’s

[@roblowrie1969]

Surely you meant, 470mm, not 47mm? Back in the day, before 3d printing, and multiple platforms running interchangeable parts, I had a King Cab that I wanted to make wider! My dad turned me some wooden doughnuts that I stuck between 2 stick Tamiya King Can wheels, and I fitted them to it, making it, kind of dual, dualies?! It never turned over, but didn't go too fast, but it looked awesome!! 😎👍🏻 The Granite looks the nuts!! 😎👍🏻

Yes… haha… it wouldn’t be the first time I’ve made a mistake in the size of something 😅

[@davidboyes5360]

Hi buddy about 2 months ago I broke my V2 4s kraton chassis in half and it was just normal bash and are still unable to get a new one in Australia so I put a big rock chassis in it. it's only 27mm shorter than the kraton chassis to this day it's stood up to hard bashing like my big rock so it's staying like that I call it a rock kraton as always buddy your videos are awesome cheers 👍👌🤙

[@M3dunkman]

Turned my into a big rock wide and I love it the front sag was kinda clean

[@ThunderCaZ]

It’s cool I like it. You should do the wing conversion and add the Traxxas roof skid plate. Then maybe try to find some solid cv axles shafts to be safe. Also I thought about doing the 120 amp esc and 4s motor setup too. Now what would be wild is if you could get some kind of trailing arm sand rail like stretched out the back setup so the rear set back further and was more reactive with like a solid axle. It reaches the price point though that maybe then I should just by a different RC lol 😂. That’s very cool though. Try some big wide street tires and a 4s though. Might fly.

[@TomleyRC]

Maybe Granite 4s ‘Wide’ could be a summer project 👌

[@sakfpv8444]

I've tossed this idea around for so long with my big rock. It's awesome you have all the parts listed needed for this. And I LOVE Jenny's RC

[@CasinovaGaming]

All of my Outcast 4s parts will be delivered tomorrow for my big rock 🎉

[@edenisburning]

I do this with all my basher style trucks. The wide stance looks meaner and performs much better when landing jumps and flips.

The soft suspension is the leaky weaky shocks. I run the same on my BigRock just for extra height. Tuff but lots of oil and ur good.

[@jebrc]

that is awesome Phil its like a cheap tekno mt410 now lol very awesome looks like ya need a bit shorter shock throw id use some rc nitro fuel line on the shock shaft inside so they cant extend the whole way. I have tose same shocks on a ofna hyper7 electric conversion i did and no matter how tight the spring rate was way to sofe so i mixed up a batch of some 60wt shock oil and some 10k diff fluid there perfect now lol

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, maybe needs a rework. They don’t seem to be as beefy as they look

need the kraton/outcast 4s bulkheads, they are wider at the shock mounts, standing the shocks up straighter. just use granite body mounts to use granite body.

[@Wreckedekcoupe]

Yes, good idea

[@FunBoostedMedia]

Hey whats up!! love the channel, just wanted to reach out and say thanks for all the content quite amazing! I was wondering though, with a setup like this i wonder if there is a way to get a wider shock tower so you can mount 2 shocks per arm? would be awesome to see!!

LoL! I was just imagining how wide a full size desert racing truck would be with a set up like this! So I vaguely calculated it looking at your cutting mat. The fullsize one will be 4.7 mtrs, or 15ft 6ins WIDE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hmm, Kevin watch out! Shimoley is shirley holey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@BRCRacing666]

Hey @tomleyrc , would all these parts be compatible for the Granite Voltage??

[@SilentSassin]

Daaaamn that looks awesome!! I'm doing this to my vorteks right away! Would the stock shocks that come on the kraton/outcast be a good choice, or better to get the one you left in the link?

[@NutjobGTO]

If it looks stupid but it's fun, it ain't stupid. I'd be worried about the long arms letting the bottom of the tires go higher than the bottom of the body, let it plough into the ground on landing. Have you considered bump stops? Maybe O-rings on the shock shaft to limit compression? But the turn-in demo on the skate park looked amazing. That thing must be a rock.
