It's a rush seeing this light platform whizzing by still picking up speed 😱🥰🥰. Very challenging too 🤗😘😘😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother Chris 😜!!!! The rain has FINALLY returned here so the timing was right to get the builds going 😍. So fun to finally test this spool setup 👀. Lots more experimenting to do, but she's moving pretty nice for a lightweight 🤣. Just gotta turn off the AVC to drift this sucker 😱😂😂. She's a serious challenge to keep from spinning out. Really appreciate the kind words as always Bro 🤗🤙🤙😎💪👊👊

I run a hobbystar 550 3500kv on 4s in my senton, the 20t is fast but the 26t is NUTS!. Definitely vent your body, turns to a parachute at about 45mph and tries to fly away!

Thanks so much Brother Eric 😜. She's a little Screamer 😱🤣🤣. Figured it was time to finally give my spool a better test and get the BRCC back out too. She's a bit squirrely past 70 compared to the heavier rigs, but does good with a touch of AVC 👌. Just can't use it when trying to drift 😂. We'll see what she's got left in her 🤔. Definitely a fun project and nice change of pace. Really appreciate it Brother!!!! 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊

You bet Brother 👊!!!! I told my LHS what I was thinking and they just said "Do it Bro 🍻". This spool is super light, yet ultra strong. The 38T fits perfectly 👌😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Josh 😜. Stoked to get some long overdue projects rolling 😍. I truly love my quiet wrench and tune time. Usually just do it and enjoy the process.

So awesome to hear Brother 😍. I was amazed when I jumped back into the hobby several years back. 🤙🤙😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother 😊. So stoked my simple spool is getting it done 👍. Hobbystar makes great stuff. Definitely a solid value to performance. I'm still running the 3674 2650kv in my Kraton 4s and it rips Big-time on 4s 😱. So many nice upgrade options. This platform is so versatile 😍👍👍😎💪👊👊

Thanks Brother 🤗. She handles nice for her weight. Just gotta ease into the throttle a bit 😱🤣🤣😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother 🤗. I knew that when I went wide, but wanted her to be 50/50 speed and drift Beast 😍. My hope was to go more Go cart style so she wouldn't roll drifting regardless of speed. I might swap on the Typhon hexs as that was my original plan 🤔. If I can make her stay upright with Granite arms drifting, might just give it a go, but my spots aren't totally smooth either. Really appreciate the suggestions though. Your Typhon 3s GT build is on a whole other level 😱🤙🤙😎💪👊👊

Do you have the 1410 3800kv motor?

@@sunnyd5944 I believe that's a castle motor. I have the 4,000 KV motor that comes with the SCT combo

Thanks so much Harry 🤗. This speed project has been super fun Brother 😍. I did the faster testing in this big lot specifically to avoid hitting anything solid 😱🤣🤣. Nevermind that I darted my Infraction straight into one of only 4 poles in this entire huge lot the last time doing speed passes and drifting 😝. So sorry to hear about your Talion Brother. It's deflating to see our rigs broken up 😞. I last felt it when I pummeled into that death rock with my newly built up Outcast 8s. Knew instantly that a total rebuild would be needed. Going 4s isn't a bad idea at all Harry 🤔. These rigs are still fast, fun, and super capable with that voltage. Especially, geared up a tad bit taller. Hope you have your rig back together soon. Don't sweat the occasional carnage. It sucks, but it happens to all of us my friend. 🍻👍👍😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 That little Road raging Bitch is Hardcore Brother 😵 I just can’t stop thinking that the weight of these rigs let them down on a track or street circuit. I’m trying to tune a couple of my Riggs for a flat trigger lap of the Velodrome. Nice work Homie 😊👍🏼✊🏼

@@72nivo yeah I'd been wanting to do these builds for over a year 👍. Just didn't get around to it until recently. The rain was a big factor 😂. That, and I simply got fed up with my own procrastination. Super stoked how the Road rager turned out. Definitely ultra fast and durable even being largely stock parts. 🍻

Thanks Brother 🤗. I always liked the V1 blue too 😍. I'm really hoping ARRMA will keep tweaking this platform with different options. A 4s Talion and 1/10 Infraction/Felony would be a huge hit. Not everyone wants to drop $600+ to haul ass and have fun. Truth is, the smaller rigs are more challenging anyways. 🍻👍👍😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 - 1/10 infraction/felony would be awesome! Like 45-50 out of the box with an included pinion to get to 60+. I’m sure they’d sell as fast as they could stock.

Several guys have already broken 100 using my spool creation 👍. I'm fairly confident I could too. Just not a priority for me personally 😉. I like drifting more than speed passes. Ironically, I was also considering using my Hobbywing Max8 2200, but decided to throw it in my new 6s based lowrider street basher 😍🍻😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 well I picked up a typhon 3s recently so I will definitely check it out. Hasn't been warm enough here for me to drive it but once

I used an older 6s ARRMA BLX185 ESC. Here's a link to the Hobbystar 3670 3050kv. The wheel size has to pair with the gearing and kv selection to keep temps reasonable. Much past 150F is getting toasty. www.rcjuice.com/hobbystar-3670-4-pole-brushless-sensorless-motor-waterproof.html

@@richduperbash2966 thank you

Thanks Brother 🤗. This simple spool mod has ramped up her potential. Super fun project!!!! 🍻👍👍😎💪👊👊

Light AVC works great for speed runs. Otherwise it has zero purpose in the hobby in my opinion 🍻

I've been wondering about this for awhile I have the diffs in already and and a hot racing slipper eliminator just kinda nervous to commit because the diffs where a little expensive for my taste

@@dustinluster7636 I definitely wouldn't recommend bashing without the slipper assembly. It helps protect the gears and driveshafts from overloading. 🍻

Hey Darren. I would never recommend the spool for anything but speed passes. It's simply too harsh on the input gears. 😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 cool thanks. Been doing more street bashing so I might change things up

My best advice is don't overtighten your slipper clutch or run really big wheels. I found original Badlands 3.8 to be perfect 👌. Other tip is keep the rear input bearings maintained and seated properly within the diff yoke. If they seize or get misplaced, the input gear will lose proper alignment with the crown gear and your mesh will be lost. Lastly, make certain you replace the stock bearing shim if you disassemble the rear diff. 😎💪👊👊

Not sure if it helps but i had the same issue. I got the aluminum yoke from hot racing and no more issues. I believe my issue was the plastic yoke can strip out the thread for the screws and loosen up causing a bad mesh in the diff.

It's more fun overall in stock form bashing dirt or at the skatepark. This was just to enjoy the build and put a better test on the spool I created. 😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother 😜. The 6s motor is coming 👀. Just got my Ripple Killer and 29T a few hours ago. The trick is getting her dialed to track straight. Very light platform to hit warp speeds with, but FUN as heck 😍🍻😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 well the 6S motor and battery should weigh it down a little bit more, but what about adding weights to it?

@@quadriplegicrc150 we'll see once I get that heavier motor and cap pack in her 🤔. If I ease into the throttle she'll probably be fine 👍

@@richduperbash2966 well I'll be watching for the next video then 👍 can't wait to see what you pull off brother!

I'm using a mod 1 27T pinion paired with the Traxxas spool gear mod I covered. 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thanks Justin 🤗. No I wouldn't try running the spool for bashing personally. I think some guys have, just think the slipper helps protect the driveshafts and gears when running 2.8 wheels bashing off-road. Love the 3s line!!! 😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 thanks man. I'll have to buy the stuff to make me another slipper for the 57 tooth.

I've only had one come loose a couple times the past 2+ years. Make sure to clean the axel and barrel nut threads with 70% isopropyl alcohol and use blue, medium strength threadlock. Permatex blue medium gel works well. 😎💪👊👊

Thanks Brother 🤗🤙🤙😎💪👊👊

I was running 4s and briefly on 6s for the fastest pass. 😎💪👊👊

I used small M3 flush mount screws with nylon M3 locknuts. Also used a countersink bit to get my screw heads in just a pinch. 🍻

Depending on your wheel and suspension set-up and final gearing, probably 70+ no problem 👍😎💪👊👊

That's just something that can happen with most any slipper clutch. ARRMA added a small catch nut to the back side of the slipper assembly. Best solution is to add medium strength threadlock to the slipper adjustment screw so it stays set. I run most of mine 1/2 turn out from fully snugged. 🍻

@@richduperbash2966 I put threadlock in there but it seized of the the movement of car?

@@43rocket that's weird 🤔. Unless it got some into the bearings, the slipper assembly should spin freely once installed and rolled with the car. I always give threadlock a full 24 hours to set up. Make sure you put the assembly back in correctly. Might also check the motor and input gears are spinning without problem just in case you have a separate problem.

@@43rocket this might be a helpful demo for you. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nZ14e9uJ36yRhoU.html

@@richduperbash2966 thanks Rick!

Congrats Michael 😱. You'll probably want to gear up on the pinion with these smaller road wheels. Otherwise you'll be constantly revving out the motor and not getting any real speed. 😎💪👊👊

It could because they use the same chassis with same wheelbase. Only thing is you'd probably have to mess with the body mounts and chop the tailgate off truggy style like the Kraton 4s body unless you ran it wingless and swapped body mounts like I did awhile back. Let me link you to the video 😎💪👊👊kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lb2EZspnms6smZ8.html

The screws are very short M3 flush mount. Didn't get an exact length. Just long enough to secure some M3 nylon locknuts. You can oval out the slipper hub holes as needed to get the 38T gear and 2 hubs lined up before tightening the screws/nuts. Also, you can get the screws seated flush with a countersink bit if you're having rubbing on the slipper housing. 🍻😎💪👊👊

Rich Duperbash Thanks for getting back to me so fast bro! That helps immensely! I think being able to oval out the slipper hub holes should do the trick.

I'm wondering if this will work k. the shorter chassis as you mentioned center drive shaft lenghts?

@@joshjohnson9167 the shorter Granite chassis won't be as stable at speed, but you could certainly turn her into a speed demon with the proper set-up 👍. This spool is easy to make for about 20$. Going from 57T to 38 mod 1 gets these suckers moving. Just don't try and bash with the spool. It'll put way too much strain on the other gears. 😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 kickass, I plan on turning it into a strictly street basher/ drifter. Quite the life this granite will have by the time I'm done with it lol. This will be its 3rd gen conversion lol. So as long as the slipper mod will get me some insane wheel speed, that's what I'm goin for. I have some extra zd racing shocks I plan to eventually shorten to smal this thing to ground. Already running the hot racing 12 to 17mm adapters, on typhon arms, so it's got a good wide stance, with hot racing adjustable motor mount and 18t pinion. I put the blx 3668 2400kv motor In. If I were to do this mod, what pinion would you suggest? The aforementioned one in the video, or smaller?

@@joshjohnson9167 gearing will depend on how much drifting you want to do vs outright speeds passes. That kv is a bit lower than the stock 3200. You'll have to gear taller for top speeds. I've found the stocker slipper (57T) paired with a 26 pinion works great for drifting on 4s. I now has my 27/38 spool set-up for passes and the slipper setup for drifting. Easy swap with separate motors and slipper housings.👍

Thanks so much Brother 😜. Sorry I missed your message. Was using both GRP S5's GT and standard dish style 42/100 Speed Hoons. The Hoons feel much more stable at speed for this lighter set-up. 🍻😎💪👊👊

I think these would make great drag rigs, just not sure how the rear input gear would fare in 2wd 🤔. I'd think you would lose lots of burst speed honestly. The fastest real road cars are all wheel drive. I think the Fury or Fazon might be 2wd, but have to check 🤔😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 Thanks,I saw they had a 2wd Granite ,but it was a 6 yr old video .difference between the 2 is pretty much Big Rock frame and shaft length wise? Everything I've been looking into is old,Think the Fury might be the way to go for sure though thanks!!

@@91TurboSedan yeah I'm not sure on the the gears and diffs can handle either 🤔. They weren't designed for bigger power.

I recommend using that same 38T Traxxas gear for easiest alignment. It's helpful to use the gear screw holes as a template to mark the slipper hubs with a sharpie pen. Use a fresh bit to drill with. It's ok to oval out the holes if necessary to get the gear and hubs centered correctly before tightening the screws and M3 nuts. 🍻😎💪👊👊

Finally got the parts all together to make this work I was unsure of what pinion to use with the 38t spool. I heard you run 27 in the video after a couple times of watching it. Is that a good place to start or what's the smallest I can run? I have a 20 atm with the stock 57 spur and a hot racing motor plate.

Yes indeed 👍. I slid on fuel tubing on the shock shafts inside the shock bodies under the pistons. That effectively shortens the shock length to keep the truck low to the ground for high speed stability. I purposely dropped the nose further than the rear to keep the truck from getting airborne at full throttle 😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 ok perfect that makes sense. Thank you!

Hey Brother 👊. I haven't had cut out issues. Normally that would be from overgearing or an ESC with inadequate amp rating. Could be from a faulty or dying servo too. 🤔

@@richduperbash2966 thx for a quick response👍 i am currently running a hobao 150amp esc, a 3670 3050kv motor and the same 38/27 gearing. I may get the grp's and put a 29t pinion in it🤔. I'll definetly think about getting the hoons or the grp's👍

Thanks Vincent. Yes....stock driveshafts and diffs. 🍻😎💪👊👊

You could get the Typhon 3s arms and links off Jenny's RC and go wide. Another option is simply adding Hex extenders. Won't be quite as tipsy. 😎💪👊👊

I cut the mounting screw tabs off my 150A ESC and Dremeled the stock 3s mount flat and countersunk the 2 M3 reciever cover screws. This provided a flat/flush surface to simply mount the ESC on the cover using 30lb Gorilla mounting tape. 😎💪👊👊

Thanks for the answer! Greetings from germany! 🍻👌

Hey Brother 🤗. Yes I used 30lb rated Gorilla mounting tape. I also Dremeled the reciever box/ESC mount flat at the mounting holes and counter sunk them so the ESC itself sits flush. 😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 very cool indeed mate ! I'll have to try that out !

Dude that's friggin AWESOME 😱. Glad it's working out Brother 🍻🍻😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 haha it hasn't worked out realy well😂. It cuts out badly after 1 sec. or so. I tried everything, even a ripple killer, but it still cuts out. Mmmmaybe it depends on what esc you have????? Idk. I will try to fit a 2200kv robotronic motor in it. But anyway, keep on shredding bro💯

The GRP's are S5 GT's. Hoons were the standard 42/100 Speed dish style. 😎💪👊👊

Probably GRP past 120mph anyways. I like the Hoons because they're a bit taller and have nice compliance and traction. They're a bit softer and more forgiving than GRP's. 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thks Rich. Cheers 🍻
