It's a fun truck and thank you my friend... merry Christmas

Different tires can really change the ride👍👍

@@fxrc3086 i broke my big rock yesterday 🤣and i was rewatching your video right now for upgrades! went down the crawler rabbit hole so i wasn't out bashing. took it out, front right arm clipped a rock and there she went, drive shaft, arm, shock cap..

Thank you... should have a bash video soon.. unfortunately its really cold and snowy here and I hate being cold... 👍👍

Wow... thank you... that means alot my friend... thank you👍👍

Thank you👍👍

M2c racing is definitely one of my favorite companies... you just cant go wrong with anything they make👍👍

It's definitely a cool truck... being so light I think makes it so tuff... all of Pro-Lines 2.8 tires r really good... thanks

@@fxrc3086 just ordered a big rock v3, did you ever have problems with wheels coming detached during runs? i saw another video of a guy who said it was an issue with the V3s after so many runs

@@_N4VE_ I did.. I ended up getting a set of M2C Extended 17mm hubs and some 2.8 proline badlands.

@@fxrc3086 what is the difference with hex sizes? comparing a 12 to a 17?

@@_N4VE_ the stock are 14mm and the M2c are 3mm larger at 17mm plus they have a double locking system making them not come off

I might have to adjust the gears some. I just put a knew power system in it... video coming soon 👍👍

Yeah... I put a better servo in but I couldn't find a good servo saver either. I went with a hot racing one but not sure how good it is 👍👍

@@fxrc3086 I bought 2 of them. Both have enormous play in them. Went for a plastic traxxas saver until the arrma 25T saver is finally back in stock.

@@Flupke76 that sucks... I dont know why they can't make a decent servo saver👍👍

Which servo would you recommend to put in?

Thank you... I definitely will👍👍

They do and they hook up great 👍 👍

Thank you...Im not surprised the stock shocks are a little cheap... I did end up putting spacers in there to take up the slop... I didn't like it either. It's all been holding up nicely.

Those dam trees can be fast some times...lol... I got the shocks on EBay... they strip down the cars and sell the parts.. sometimes its a wait till they came into stock... another way would be straight from arrma but thats going to be pricey...

Thank you

Oh dang. I've had mine for about 8 months and I've launched it like crazy, crashed into a tree, rolled it, lawn darted it, and only thing I've had to replace is the spur gear and the rear outer differential gear

I wouldn't say cheaply made either. I would say however its made with a lower price point in mind... but all and all it's been a good little truck and on 4s it's alot of fun. 👍👍

There junk don't buy. I don't get I run with those with out breaking it. I have a box of parts to keep them running. My big rock I only keep a replacement spur gear haven't need it yet.

These are about 50 a set of 2 and you'll need to upgrade to 17mm weel hex. However, I did this awhile ago and there might be good aftermarket tires in the stock 14mm hex size now and worth looking into.

Change out the shocks and it's pretty good to go

There not too heavy for the stock system. You either have to change the 14mm hex for a 17mm hex like the one from M2C racing or u can get 14mm hex hubs for the proline raid weels

I think the stock shock are the worst thing. But that's an expensive upgrade. The M2c parts are nice and will allow you to run 17mm hex weels. Not sure how far you want to take it however. It's been a really fun truck and on 4s it's insane but it wouldn't be my first choice for alot of expensive upgrades. With all the $$ I have in mine I could have bought something better 😵‍💫 but I geuss that's the nature of the beast 👍👍

Traction is nice...👍👍 most of arrmas tires are good

They are some of the worst shocks I've seen... 👍👍

I’m having the exact same problem. What shocks did you end up going with? Would you mind posting a link for them? Thanks

@@treysals I went with a set of arrma typhon 6s shocks. You can get a complete built set of 4 on Ebay. There a little bit pricey compared to the price of the bigrock but they work Amazing👍👍

@@treysals I used these, i actually broke one of the shock shafts the other day, you can find new ones on banggood. You'll wanna get the #8005 shock shafts. Also put a heavier weight in them. Start with 50weight. Also makes the truck taller if you don't put a limiter spacer inside the shocks. www.amazon.com/Absorber-Adjustable-Assembled-Hongnor-DF-Model/dp/B08H5C93F7/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=1%2F8+shock&qid=1625816001&sr=8-4

@@fxrc3086 do those shocks fit perfectly with the big rock? What shock fulid did u put?

It will do that sometime... I would make sure the lock nut still has rubber in it and maybe try a little blue locktite 👍👍

Thank you. This is a fun truck out of the box but I do think the maxx is better. They both have alot of plastic but the maxxs drive train is metal giving u alot more room to grow into the hobby. U would spend more upgrading the bigrock just to get it in line with the maxx. Having said all that they are very different trucks. The maxx is a true monster truck and the rock is truggyish. If I could only have one I would take the Maxx anyday. I hope this helps👍👍

I also think the team corally skeeter should be something to consider. The value is better then the maxx and the electronic are way better which is traxxas biggest flaw I think. However nobody can beet traxxas parts support. Just something to think about🤔👍👍

@@fxrc3086 I've got a Hpi Firestorm for which there's such a parts shortage, so I want to be sure this doesn't happen with my next RC car😅

@@TheAwflores hahaha I don't take makes into account. Only models. I mean, I'd never go for a Revo because I know it breaks easily (I've known people breaking it every 2 batteries). But neither would I go for a Kraton of I don't want to upgrade whatever I buy. That's why I'm interested in the Maxx: plenty of people saying it's the toughest out of the box, it's really funny with all those wheelies, it's very fast and, if something breaks, it will be cheaper to fix than a 6s arrma. The only thing that makes me keep on doubting is the fact that, apparently, the ESC breaks easily. Just looking for the most straightforward thing because I can fix these things but I prefere investing my time on bashing. I've also been thinking about a mojave or even a Typhon as they're apparently the toughest 6s arrma's. Even with that, I love wheelies and big wheels as the main surface I'm planning to run on is grass. Honestly, I'll probably go for a Maxx once the green one is back in stock here in UK. Feel free to try to convince me with arguments and not fanboy stuff such as "Traxxas sucks and arrma is great"🙂

@@winstonsmith9619 you've got the right idea my friend. I really think the maxx is the way to go. Super tough out of the box and if u need to swap out the ESC that's not that bad 👍👍

One of this trucks strengths is that its so light even with alittle aluminum goodies. Very rugged and haven't broken anything yet👍👍

And adding metal adds weight, you certainly don't want more in the front.. but can be beneficial in the rear like with a Baja Rey 1/10.

That’s why nobody will remember your name

If there 17mm hex weels like these then u need the m2c 17mm hex adapter

@@fxrc3086 thank you

I think what ur looking for can be bought at the M2CRacing website

There the badlands MX 2.8 on raid weels with the removable hub

@@fxrc3086 thank you !

I have come to appreciate how rugged it is. Mine is far from stock but it sure can take beating👍👍

I do end up selling some of it to offset some of the costs... most of It I put away for a rainy day...

Ur totally right... and the stock is 14 not 12 my mistake. 17mm are nice but Just like any upgrade it's all subjective and probably unnecessary👍👍

@@fxrc3086 I re-watched your video a 2nd time and didn't realize you made an onscreen correction when referring to the hex as 12mm so my bad I didn't catch that the first time ,but yea it's more or less subjective, personally Ive never had any issue with 14mm hexes other than wheel selections a bit thinner than say 12mm ,However I like the fact Arrma jumps up to 14mm even on the smaller 10th scale stuff it just shows there durability compared to the others ,but either way you can't go wrong 17mm is all the more protection I guess. 👍🏼💯

What about GPM racing my friend? 👍👍
