Popular Post Fourmiz29 Posted November 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 15, 2020 Hi, looking around I can't find any sub forum for Arrma Senton owner group so I would give it a go here. If it is not the right place or another already exist please act accordingly. So a few days ago I received my new car, Arrma Senton 3S BLX V3. I have owned a Maverick Strada XB Evo for a few years and I wanted to have a bit more fun with the off road. I fitted the dirt protection before taking it out for a short spin in my garden, a few rolls but overall great fun to come. Spent a rainy Saturday to strengthen the shell with scrim plaster-boarding tape with some Evo Stick grip fill. And today the weather been so much better it was first proper run out, playground being a grassy field near home. Clean to start with; didn't last. The FTX Outlaw being my OH car. Plenty space to push the 3S battery to the max, nice wheelies and a few crashes in the side undergrowth VID20201115141327.mp4 After the fun come the time of assessing the cleaning... Outside not too bad, long grass got caught a bit everywhere, now underneath the shell.. The protective cover did the job. All good fun, now only need more batteries to run for longer. Looking at possible upgrade such as bigger tyres to run a bit better in harder terrain and longer grass. but no rush 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkshireman Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Really like my Senton....quick enough for me on 3S 😁. Think l may have to get one of those covers though, looks like it does a decent job of keeping the inside clean 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Oh How Original Posted November 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 15, 2020 I actually thought I'd started one of these threads ages ago, then realised it was the Rival MT10 I started. Here's some of mine at varies times in it's life, it never ever gets boring to use. I might get one of those covers myself as well, I also fancy swapping out the elecs to a nice HobbyWing combo, but we will see, the stock one does okay, just a tiny bit coggy sometimes. And a video 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fourmiz29 Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 I came across a central roll cage for the Senton 6S, is it any good to be fitted on a 3S? I think I would feel more confident having some internal support in the shell when I start doing jump with it like in the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 The stock shell takes that kind of punishment easily, it's still in one piece, the Pro-line one is pretty garbage, like with most Pro-line shells, they look nice but are crap. I'm afraid I don't know about the fitment of the support though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollykamakazi Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Love my Senton but so much has been changed from stock. Max 10 combo Proper ally shocksHot racing spacers and 17 mm hex’s 1/8 Proline wheels and Badlands tyres. Killer car. Does eat bearings though. Bash, Break, Build, Repeat...

bertberr Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Was that a BLX to start with, or the Mega 550? Was wondering whether it would be cheaper to get a Mega and then just throw a decent BL combo in it? Are all the gears the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the blx 3S esc is not like its 6S big brother which is a decent bit of kit. It failed within a week. Servos not much to talk about either. Mine failed inside 2 weeks. Replaced with a shumacker version as well. Forgot about that bit. when converting think you need to uprate slipper clutch and not sure about the gears.

Ollykamakazi Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 So yes unless changing parts under warranty it may well be cheaper to start with a Mega. Bash, Break, Build, Repeat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought this one made for the senton https://wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/333100/ It is great for relatively dry stuff, when it is wet and muddy it become bad too even with the cover.

Recently bought the mud fenders from scorched parts RC. Haven't tested it just yet waiting for some spares Thanks for that. I did make up some mud guards which lasted about 3 months. Made a huge amount of difference. Didn’t know someone had made some real ones. I’ll try for those I think having seen how effective mine where. And they are only plastic sheet I heated over a stove and manipulated to shape then fixed with Velcro. Also worth doing a plastic cover for the servo arm to stop rocks jamming it up. They are easy. Just cut plastic to fit and attach with spot of Velcro. Bash, Break, Build, Repeat... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bash, Break, Build, Repeat... No there are some for the 3S and they fit perfectly https://scorchedparts.co.uk/collections/arrma-senton-3s/products/inner-fender-wells-arrma-senton-3s Because I have filled my shell with shoegoo equivalent I can't use it really easily at the moment. Making mods as it goes to help. But there are clear instruction on how to fit it. I'll update a picture of my setup later one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollykamakazi Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Thanks. Their site said they were working on the 3S. Must have been an old link. Just tried to buy and PayPal messing up. I’ll get there in the end. Bash, Break, Build, Repeat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollykamakazi Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Sorted the mud guards thanks . Has to be the best thing you can buy your Senton. Bash, Break, Build, Repeat... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
