I wouldn't judge it too quickly, it wasn't a 50ft drop but it was a direct hit, after many front end crashes, not everything was caught on video as I was taking pictures too, all single handed. I would still recommend the truck, I've got no brand loyalty or anything to gain... I think it's an awesome truck, 12quid for a full set of arms isn't the end of the world. If RPM make some arms, then problem solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) After months of wanting to do it, I finally got round to cutting a hole in the chassis of my Senton. Basically, stones get stuck because it has a huge servo saver on the horn, plus theirs no means of escape once stones get in by the servo, it's been my only complaint about the Senton, complained to Arrma about it, they said go ahad with the hole, if it snaps, it's not covered under warranty. Got too fed up of stones stopping play time though, there was already a small hole and a slit cut out, presumably for stones to fall out, but it just wasn't enough. Now I've done this, I am hoping it solves the problem. Shouldn't cause the chassis to snap, because I've done it far away enough from the screw holes etc... And it's not a huge hole, just a bit cut out. Fingers crossed this works. Yes I know it's not neat, it's merely a test, which I hope to try out tomorrow after work.

I didn't have to stop once for a stuck servo. It's actually bloody worked. Now tbh I would rank the Senton as my favourite all time RC, the thing is stupid tough, plenty fast enough for anybody and just keeps on trucking. And now I can use it in the quarry and such as well. Few stones in the chassis still, but nothing broken or stuck, quick wash off and GT85 now I'm home, I'm charging up some lipos to hopefully take it out properly tomorrow mega chuffed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking for something fun R/C wise that I can get mucky and only do basic maintenance afterwards and not worry to much about it. I have two Team Associated buggies which I race locally and I don't want to bash them, they require enough maintenance as it is just carpet racing! I have my three crawlers, TRX4, TRX6 and an Enduro of which I'm starting to hate the wet, muddy woodland trails as I end up stripping the trucks down to basic parts and cleaning and rebuilding as I go spending a day or two making spotless! I blame my OCD 🙈 . Was thinking something Arrma but maybe 1/8 scale? Is the Senton a 'large' 4wd 1/10 SCT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want something perhaps a touch bigger or more ground clearance, the Granite BLX is basically the same, slightly shorter wheelbase, but aside from that, it's an MT obviously, but most stuff is the same. I'd highly recommend. I am seriously trying to think of a valid reason not to buy the 7th scale Mojave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derka Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Mojave looks amazing in this promo video; I guess the Senton will run with a 2S or 3S, whereas the Mojave needs 2x2S, 2x3S, 4s or 6s LiPo packs which means new batteries just for one truck. Monster trucks don't really do anything for me visually, never driven one though. Associated's Monster truck would also be cool to compliment my B64 and B6.1. Hmmm 🙈🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Busby Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Most people who are into Arrma say the Mojave is the best RC they do. Bloody big ol beast though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm 🙈🤔 I think the Mojave looks good in all it's videos. Based on what I know of the Arrma range, especially the modern ones, they are extremely good. Especially the plastic chassis stuff. If I stumble upon the right deal on a Mojave I will get one. And yes it runs on 6s, although I am sure 4s and 5s are fine too. I run my Senton on a mixture of 2s and 3s, just because it's what I have and 2s is fine for normal bashing, 3s is good when you want to go a bit more wild and go very big on the jumps. If you watch my video, you'll see how quick it is on 2s and when I jump it, you can get serious air time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only problem with 5s is that (AFAIK) the ESC doesn't correctly detect it, so the low voltage cut off doesnt work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it does improve things although I feel the servo needs upgrading. Took it out today to test it feels more direct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
