MiddlofMoRon Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 On 04/03/2020 at 14:07, Oh How Original said: Thought I'd start this off as I seem to be the first on here with one, gave it a good shakedown run today, a combination of cold outside, plus a bad landing by my over excited/poor driving, resulted in a broken arm at the hinge pin, everything else seems fine. Some video will follow, but thought I'd get the thread started with some pictures from today. I am toying with the idea of buying an Arrma Granite/Big Rock to compare the two against each other and against my Senton, but we'll see. I really like the truck overall, it's well planted, runs very well, they include a little dust cover over the chassis too, just held on like a fitted bed sheet over a couple of little post style things on the chassis, not sure what else you'd call them... Amazingly it stayed on throughout the entire bash, which surprised me. If anyone wants any specific images or information about anything on the truck, I'll try to answer to the best of my knowledge. Failing that, everyone else who pre-ordered, get posting Awesome photography! Looks like a great time 🤓! Do you plan to upgrade or leave it breakable? I used to chase the weak link until everything on the model was virtually unbreakable 😂. Then I'd give it away and start on the next one 🤓. Started in about 1968. See yah later🤓 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem mine did about 6 cartwheels in to a lamppost and was still usable with the rpm arms I broke the factory arms buy hitting a grind rail at full throttle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin34 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Done the brake hack and going to vent the tyres later before taking it over the park for a test tomorrow oh and I checked the wheel nuts as I have read quite a few stripping hexes straight out of the box and the rear nuts were prity loose.

I'd swap the wheel nuts the serrated ones will only lock until the torque hits, I wouldn't worry about the rpm arms until you break the stock ones, we've got 2 and only had to do 1 arm and ours have bounced off fences, ankles and cartwheeled onto hard gravel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin34 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 The wheel nuts on mine are serated already but they weren't done up very tight.Just vented the tyres and lowered the wheelie bar a notch so we will see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to swap the serrated nuts for nylock nuts, I lowered mine 1 hole but my partner's is still stock and both wheelie easily (mine on 2s hers on 3s) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin34 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) Mine will be on 2s as my boys granite is a mega with a brushless conversion on 2s so I want them to be around the same speed.Sorry I read your post wrong and thought you said I want serated nuts.I will look out some nylock ones.

CUPRABullet Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I use blue threadlock on the wheel nuts - seems to help (having stripped a hex before!) What's the benefit of venting the tyres? Do you just make a small hole in the sidewall somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin34 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Yes you put holes in the tyre and block the holes in the wheel.I think it's ment to stop them ballooning as much but my reason is it let's the dirt and water out of the tyre rather than it being stuck in there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin34 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Well I took it out for a run on 2s with my boy and his granite.The mt10 deffinatley handles better than the granite and doesn't grip roll no way near as easily.The tyres are terribly balanced as I have seen many say that on YouTube.Stock diff fluid is 60k/100k/3k.I am thinking of going 60k/300k/30k.3k in the rear seems very light to me.

martin34 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 No loose wheel nuts yet but really need to strip it down and do the diffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonmurgie Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Have just taken delivery of a shiny new MT10 and having skipped though the pages of this thread wanted to ask all you long-term owners or knowledgeable newbies… What's worth checking and/or modifying straight out the box? Not even connected a battery up yet (damned work!) but figured it worth seeing what experienced owners would advise if you were to start again with a box-fresh MT10 😃 Cheers Jon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonmurgie Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Well… I clearly should have checked those wheel nuts before it’s first outing 🤣 that’s being excited and lazy Found the hex but not the pin so that’s shelved until some bits arrive 🙈 In other news, this was in the bag of bits and instructions but couldn’t find any reference to it, looks like a jumper cable but wasn’t expecting that?! Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas? Am sure I said check there tight lol And it's a bind plug for the rx to re bind it with the controller if it looses connection for any reason 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
