Oh How Original Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Remove the servo saver, Savox 1256. No need for a servo saver, they just reduce the power of whatever servo you put in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn75 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 What do you use for the linkage mine has loads of movement on the pivot balls been searching the web for some metal ones to replace the arrma plastic ones can only find a full gpm pivot ball set ,didn't think you could remove the servo saver I've just order a new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Why wouldn't you be able to? It's essentially a very very sloppy servo horn lol, replace with a normal 20mm servo horn, just done 😄 Pivot balls I believe are 4mm ones. I haven't changed mine, they are sloppy as all hell, but I don't really care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Wrestled with these Traxxas 17mm hex conversion on my Senton, never known such a large amount of threadlock in my life, on all four and it's set solid. Bin time and find a different solution I think, zoom in to see how thick it's on there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogBone Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I'm going to order the senton 3s blx firma today. Is there anything anyone would recommend changing out of the box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogBone Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Like Im going to be running 3s so do i need an extra fan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn75 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 The new model comes with a fan on the motor. Maybe servo replacement the standard ones don't last long, and in the future 12mm hex for wider tyre choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogBone Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Arrived today. Bigger than I thought it would be. Almost same as hyper st Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertberr Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Looks nice, they seem to be very capable trucks. Do you use the ST much? Where in S. Devon are you out if interest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devon are you out if interest? I'm near Yelverton, just outside Plymouth. Ive not long built the st so I've used it probably 10 times so far. I joined this forum and saw all the amazing electric cars and decided I wanted one of those too though! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn75 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Nice I like it red ,The one thing I did do was the scorched parts inner fenders the first time I took mine out I couldn't believe how muddy it got inside, it still gets muddy in there but they do help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogBone Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I'll take a look at them. Saw them earlier in this thread and look pretty useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourmiz29 Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 The senton is good to run from out the box. Only to check all the screws are thread locked, maybe after a couple runs have a look at the shocks they prob need a refill. Plenty parts to be added to help with the muck going inside when running Have fun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogBone Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Wow its so different to drive than anything I've driven before. Its like it's taking off half the time. Wheelies all over the place and rolls over a lot. Very fun but going to take some getting used to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogBone Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 What other body shells fit? I saw earlier in the thread @Fourmiz29 you used a big rock shell. Did it need modifying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just asked her (she's busy doing something else) and said "The shell doesn't need modifying but you need the big rock body posts." The body posts fit just the same way as the sentons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourmiz29 Posted March 27, 2021 Author Share Posted March 27, 2021 Yes change the body post, just slightly narrower than the senton ones. One thing I did and I have seen a few people doing this is changing the wheels to the ones from the granite, also 14 hex. It help stabilise the car to avoid so much rolling. The motor pinion will need to be reduced to 15t (20t on the senton), it will help the motor. By changing to wider wheels the senton body will need trimming to have clearance for those wheels (if running with that body), the big rock one will be just ok. I have also turned my Senton into a big rock by swapping the arms for the longer version. Senton and big rock share the same long wheel base chassis, so a few opportunities to improve the car in some ways lol I did do it mainly for the winter and the muddy fields, in the summer I am looking at reversing back to the senton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogBone Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Anyone know of any bumpers that fit other than t-bone? They're sold out everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogBone Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Found this one on ebay but I'm worried it won't come out beyond the front of the body. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124630440111 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe take a measurement from the tower to the end of the senton bumper to have an idea how much it would need to stick out by. I only change my senton bumper for the big rock one when I changed the body 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogBone Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Good idea, thanks. I looked at the big rock one too but like you said I'd need to change the body as well. I just can't see the point in getting another stock senton one as I'm pretty sure I'll snap it in no time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourmiz29 Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 Yeah I broke the middle part my senton front bumper when trialling a skatepark... The round pipe at the top of those ramp isn't senton bumper friendly at all.. with the lockdown in haven't done another skatepark session. I think it should be ok with the big rock version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savagejoe Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 just got myself a shell for the senton its from arc breakers £35 brand new cant complain. they have loads of parts if anyone doesnt allready know about them https://arcbreakers.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
