Short course trucks can be super cool. I always enjoy your observations. I am more of a crawler guy but my dog is all about hooning. We argue. He says Baja, I respond Dakar. We settled on King of The Hammers as a proving ground. But then Rango (the dog) said no (grrr) to 1/10 scale. You see, he himself has a 12.3" (313mm) wheelbase. Not to mention a limited budget. So we "went looking" In Chenghai district Shantou city Guangdong, China. Rango told me to forget everything I knew about intellectual property. "A clone with good DNA is golden" he whined, "and,1/12th scale I can live with". We took a left into a long passageway that glowed in a ghostly industrial green. We joined the queue and waited with an amazing array of characters. At the blue window I was given two flimsy boxes for $300 and shooed away towards the exit. Rango was spot on. The cars are quite good not brilliant. Good DNA. Still, mongrel underdogs in comparison to the Big Dogs. Alpha dogs being the Losi Baja Rey and Rock Rey. 1/10 scale is too big for us so I am happy to have found a 1/12 scale that works as a rock racer and as a trophy/baja style truck. Rango loves them both. We love the big dogs too, just from a distance. Keep up the good work!

I have a losi tenacity, arrma senton and traxxas slash and I can't keep the senton straight. I've had to really fiddle with steering rates etc to get it dialed in but I think if I had only the Senton, I would get used to it. The Losi is the best for racing of the three and you can tell it's for racing it's geometry just works (imo) but more expensive. The Senton and Slash are somewhat bashable. The Senton just wants to bash, so it needs a bit of taming. All three are great trucks with the Losi being more of a one trick pony designed for racing and you can tell. I don't think I could point to any one of them and say it's the best because it really just depends on what you want. I love my Senton and I love the Tenacity I guess the Slash would be the odd one out. But it's a great truck.

You can buy a Dusty Motors chassis cover. I have it on my basher and it made quite a difference in keeping muck and water out of the tub.

2WD slash still works , stock , after 5 years lol.. by far the most reliable RC I’ve ever had

I like the variety on this channel.

I know im late to the party here but i always wanted the original aluminium chassis 6s Senton, what a machine. Ive got its equal....A black Mojave EXB. Its running on the motor and esc from my v3 Talion and a Savox 2292 and that is plenty

I bought the team associated PRO4 SC10 and it is great value for money. I upgraded only the tires and servo so far. Thank you for the video 👍👍👍

Yes sir, I love the Senton 3s, such an awesome truck! I’ve got the blue and they re one tough, fast and economical machine. Great video as always 🤜🏻

I love my Senton, I installed proline trenchers and totally changed the Senton, another beast.

Been running the same slash 2wd for awhile and having a blast with it. Wound up picking one of these sentons up and gave my slash to my 5 year old!

Just grabbed a 550 mega today. Can't wait to send it!

If you want it to be even better make a center post to stop the tub from flexing also . I broke my tub by the motor slipper gear side because on landing the long tub flexes and that's the weak spot cause by extra weight from power system and its three peace set up . Those 2 changes makes the senton the best ever if arrma listens in my opinion!!

The Senton is tough. Probably the most reliable Arrma.

It’s funny you made this video I’ve been thinking about a short course truck & I truly believe everyone should have at least one fast RC even the hard core crawler fans. All my RC’s have been crawlers till I purchased the Windigo. After adding my mods & extending the wheel base so it’s more stable it’s just a blast to take out. I can tell you this these fast RC’s are getting broken all the time no matter what brand or model. It just goes with that speed. I was out with the Windigo & I was telling myself yep I think I have it tuned up & ready to just go out & have fun. Then my first thought was you just jinxed yourself. We’ll need I say more. I was moving along at a good clip & one tire’s hit a log on the ground & snapped off the wheel & broke the axle. It was my fault 100%. But that old saying about RC’s “ Use break repair use break repair “over & over is so true. But as I stated everyone should have at least one fast RC. I take it with me crawl & then break it out & I have a permanent smile on my face the whole time. So much fun. I’m curious how the Redcat short track would do in comparison to the Traxxis & Arma. I’m just starting to take notice of the short track RC’s so I don’t know that much about them. It’s just a matter of time before one arrives at my doorstep. Nice to see you put it through its paces for us to see & judge for ourselves. Great looking truck for sure.👍

I've had Slash in the past. I've always ended up selling them. I had a Senton years ago when it came out. I ended up selling that one also. The only short course truck I've kept is my Blitz. It's been a tank.

Variety is the spice of life, so I feel it's great to have this for a change of pace. I already noted this and wass super welcome with the smaller RGT Crawler a couple of weeks back! I've always look intrigued into the "basher" type of rigs. Particularly, Losi's Super Baja Rey and their Monster Truck, LMT10. Those maybe need quite a huge track (Super Baja Rey) or bigger jumps (LMT10) to run them properly and be able to enjoy them at their best, but still, I would love to hear your take on those. This Arrma was a nice surprise, though! About your comment on sway ("anti-roll") bars, my take is to always start with a front one, never with a rear one. Your lateral spring rate tuning should always start with the front and only, -whether necessary, as not always the case-, fine tune with a rear one. Just my 0.02$! Thanks for the insight into an unknown (for now...) side of RC for me!!

I hope they hold up better than they used to

I really like this video. Thanks for putting it out there. 👍

The STX2 handset has a delay, I highly recommend changing it mate it is the reason its so difficult to control. Do you notice the delay in acceleration and breaking too its difficult to notice but really spoils the fun. The servo is rubbish, a 25kg I've had in mine for years and still going strong, 7.5kg is too weak✌👍🏼

I'm disappointed with my Slash Ultimate. As with all Traxxas electronics, it should never of been made. But it does drive extremely well. I would love to have a go on the Senton, looks like a blast. (Edit: The Radiolink receiver has a giro ;)

I love that truck. I have an ecx MT 2wd to hang around but I think I would end with a SC in the future. The senton looked quite nice in the video.

You and I have had such different experiences. I buy Traxxas because they hold up. And parts are easy to get. Everything else seems to be problematic. And I think all RC cars are the same in one way they got a weak link and then once you fix the weak link! it makes a new weak link. LOL !!! Have fun stay healthy.

I’m a little late to the party but I just picked up one of these to give short course a go. I’ve only ran it on a track twice now but it’s super hard to keep this thing straight and coming out of a turn sucks cause either the steering linkage or the servo where it hits point in the turning where it speeds up super fast causing over steer, real bad. However I’m still learning how to drive it myself. I’m a crawler guy, this is my only speed vehicle so takes time on the wheel.

That's funny, I had an nitro stampede with pretty much every integy aluminum part you could buy. Sold it for nothing too. I don't have a short course but I do like the 7th scale

this was nice I've got a Stampede n Rustler.. my gen8 just went to my daughter.. n a Wendigo is on the way to try n replace it . lol.. I know I'll be getting a sendero at some point as the gen8 has now went to almost the same price n you've Proven the best of the two... I haven't even gotten the Wendigo n im already missing my gen8..lol

Ye it's an amazing car but I had stuff get stuck in the steering area alot😂

O almost forgot senton sc10 4x4 is in my opinion the best out of the box for price its crazy how cheap it is . To get what we get now for around low to mid 300s price point not to long ago would have been 600 to 800 after upgrades in the 90s and 00s years 🤔 yes I'm feeling old saying that my 1st rc was radio shack 3 wheeler then a grasshopper many moons ago!!!! 🌙

I haven't had the Liberty to test that out but I have two 6S BLX s, and two Losi Tenacity s, DB and TT Pro, if you like short course you would love the TT the best handling basher racer ever

Am picking an used senton blx v3!,,twitchy is fun bro😎

I am late to watching this video. But, I enjoyed your review.Thanks.

It's a great sc104x4 only thing arrma needs to do to fix its only problem is make the same tire but it need to be widen a little to help it grip more when powerbis on and corners less flex plus needs to get more thicknesses so they last longer plus don't blow off from power on and the vented only in the rubber . It's a great tire but only last a couple hard rips before they lose there traction become slicks or blow off tear

Aswome track u made so cool an rad driving!

I'd take the senton. I actually have the blx 3s senton was my first rc before the trail and crawler. Nothing wrong with throwing it up. Lol it's fast man 100% can't hardly control it.

Slow is Smooth, Smooth is Fast, and all the rest of the time POOOWWWWEEEEERRR!

Love my senton, upgraded the rear diff too steel and now she’s rock solid 💪🏻

Thanks for sharing bro👍👍👍👍

Awesome !! I have 3 Sentons. Lol!! Love the Arrma 3s line.

15:52 Racers soul out loud, soak that advice in deep, take your time and you will get better time. Nice video, thanks!

you are a waaaay better rc driver than ill ever be....lol

what a beauty

Now that's awesome 👌

If it's not broken don't fix it- I'll take my 4x4 Slash- LOVE IT

Alternative? The slash is an alternative for the senton! That 3s blx shreads the slash! I like my Senton over my slash!

The DBPro vs Senton ... I have both and only bad thing is the Dbpro out of the box diff fluid is bad and burns up other wise its a fun and different type of feel when driving it. With that said it's still not a senton the senton is just mad it seems and makes me beat it when I drive it for some reason . Do thus go to track race both cars to see what one you get best time with that the real deal on truth of what one does better for your style of driving . I think because we all have opinions but truth is always the answer it all comes down to the driver style

Good video, I am looking at getting the Senton,

Same colour too 👌👍🤣👍

Alot of work to get these trucks to hook up for track racing

Hi does a traxxas slash body shell fits on a arrma sentton chassis

I'm getting the Arrma Seton V3 S3 for my Birthday, I would like to get some upgraded shocks, what would you suggest?

My infection mega has the exact same deal where rocks get stuck right there causing steering to jam. I mess a little cover out of clear lexan. Very ugly. Ha. Works though.

If you had to choose either this truck or the Team Associated Pro4 sc10 for short course racing(entry level noobie). Ive got a $600 budget and want to get the most bang for the buck I can get. Which would you go with ?? Thanks!

I think the Senton 3s is the toughest 1/10 SCT on the market today. I still think it has it's minor issues, but they'll probably be fixed in the V4 version.

Great video mate im Just getting into rc cars and bought the same car cant wait to give it a run , what mods did you do to the platic cover to strengthen? Cheers mik

Right where's the track we're coming over lol

I am gonna buy this car but do i have to clean it every time and what happens if i dont clean it will it broke?

Yay SCT's

where are you guys selling all these stampedes dirt cheap at??? I need spare parts.. blew out my transmission twice this past weekend...lol. more steel replacement parts coming.. aluminum big bore shocks.. 2 sets of steel axles.. steel tube roll cage.. i love the thing n what other rig can you buy everything in steel to completely rebuild a vxl transmission for 25 bucks us????

How is your verdict? Slash or santon

Watching this again, got mine las Saturday,sports,lol thier awesome, had a scare though, but soughted now, hav a look at me vid 🙏🤔😷👍, also yor vid has lots of info on senton,more than most bro,😷👍👍👍

Get the Mojave

Anything from Traxxas is overpriced low-quality crap!
