Fourmiz29 Posted December 12, 2020 Author Share Posted December 12, 2020 Yes not cheap body but much more robust than the granite. My OH just got a second hand granite 4x4 today, and the body look a lot lighter to start with. Still make sure you screen tape and shoegoo (or equivalent) the inside of the body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes a huge difference on the granite. Bash, Break, Build, Repeat... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was waiting for another body because my original one has scrim tap and sealant inside making the fit a lot more technical.... to the point I may not have enough material left on the body post.... Finishing work the year today so will make the last mod to get out and about tomorrow more likely.. can't wait PS... your rig could definitely use some cleaning by the look of it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollykamakazi Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Yeah it had just been out and been coated in pure muck the day before. That’s after 10 mins cleaning too lol. Bash, Break, Build, Repeat... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollykamakazi Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Here’s the inside after an hr of bashing through mud and puddles, loose stones and general muck. Never looked so good. PS, no stones getting in and binding up the steering. Bash, Break, Build, Repeat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourmiz29 Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 That is not too bad indeed! Weather was rubbish for me today so didn't go out. Trip to the skatepark tomorrow for sure . This is mine ready I have taped a little bit because I needed up a little bit my profiling cut on the fenders.... I also made a mod on the front because I felt it was still too open I have placed half of the usual mudguards with cutting a bit more the fenders to fit them. Then I used a plastic shim to cover the gap over the tower. Held by velcro. I am also trialling axle mud guards seen on make it build it for the senton. Fitted on the rear axle with so far cable tie to keep them in place. Don't have a pic at the moment. Will do one prob tomorrow after my run Can't wait to get bashing again!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourmiz29 Posted December 19, 2020 Author Share Posted December 19, 2020 Skate park sesh this morning, car felt pretty good until I finish breaking my front bumper... And my axle mud guards fell off, cable ties broke. But the fenders did well Kept inside pretty clean 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollykamakazi Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Here’s a tip for saving the Senton and granite shells. It’s usually the shock towers that punch the body when it rolls over or lands on its head. Simple sponge and a dot of glue cushions the impact dramatically. May not be pretty but very effective, even better when using shoe goo n tape as well. Bash, Break, Build, Repeat... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourmiz29 Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 Senton change of look today, into Big Rock look. Aim of this, keep the muck out of the inner chassis during the winter. Granite wheels are also a seasonal upgrade 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 "seasonal upgrade"... I can see myself using that one as an excuse My Senton hasn't been out for quite some time, awaiting some driveshaft parts, actually managed to break something last time out. Interestingly, my shell has lasted very well and if you check my video it's had some hard impacts. I did get an early one though, maybe they were thicker? Food for thought, but destroyed my Pro-line body first run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tomr Posted January 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) Technically not a Senton but Just finished fitting a Cheapo SC body on my Typhon 3s 👍 Best bit is I can keep the buggy body on underneath to keep the crap out Edited January 7, 2021 by tomr 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
