MattW123 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I am thinking about getting my dad his first ever rc truck (his first rc of any sort actually). It would be used for general driving and bashing so I’d be looking for something versatile and tough. From what I’ve seen, the Arrma Granite 4x4 would be a great option and ticks these boxes, but I want to see if anyone has any other suggestions within this price range. Thanks.

Oh How Original Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) Arrma Senton 3s... As long as you're not running in heavy grass it should be perfect. Or failing that, the Associated Rival MT10... I have pre-ordered one which should be here tomorrow, I plan to do a little comparison and thoughts on the MT10 vs my Senton 3s, if you aren't in a rush, maybe wait for some reviews of the MT10? Here is my Senton. Edited March 3, 2020 by Oh How Original Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael bird Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I'm looking to sell my FTX carnage and buy a new RC but not Sure what to get. I have looked at the senton and it looks good. The MT looks interesting especially at that price? I look forward to what you think of it once you receive it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it for 233 delivered as well, a nice bonus over other sites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is my Senton. Thanks. These two had crossed my mind. I wasn’t sure how a short course truck compares to a monster truck for bashing as I’ve never owned one. Definitely one to consider. And the MT10 looks great, especially for the price but as you say, is untested in terms of durability. I’d be keen to see your opinion once you have tested it. My dad’s bday is in June so I have a bit of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad’s bday is in June so I have a bit of time. I plan to test the durability of the MT10 today, it arrived this morning, my GoPro is on charge as are a 2s and 3s pack, so I plan to do a comparison between 2s and 3s for people, as well as some bashing, hopefully the little gravel area I go to has a decent jump to use, they dump and remove gravel a lot so it's unpredictable. 4 hours ago, Michael bird said: Great price, where from? https://www.makeitbuildit.co.uk/team-associated-rival-mt10-rtr-truck-brushless-2-3s-rated-85343 Discount code; welcomeback - they've just gone out of stock today though, must have sold the first few quite quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Senton and the Granite are basically exactly the same underneath, different body and wheels, can't comment on arms and such, but they will be made to the same quality so the length isn't important. I still have my Senton and my MT10. The MT10 is still in two pieces after my Dad used it last time in the quarry. The Senton took hours of abuse and is sat on the wardrobe waiting for me to charge a battery and beat it more. I don't really like to tell people what to get, but out of the two I'd have the Granite. I keep snapping arms and chassis (three arms, two chassis) on the MT10. But that being said it is exceptionally good fun, something about it's slightly smaller size, makes it almost like a Lunchbox in sillyness and I just really like that, so I've got a few arms and chassis braces put by. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Thanks for the opinion, the Granite is in stock at MS the MT10 is nowhere in the UK for £250 & I wouldn’t pay more for it, knowing how impatient I am it’ll probably be the Granite for me! on a side note, what’s MS current dispatch times? Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
