Hey there Guys , I picked up a Trx4 sport 2 months ago, because of your Recommendations. And upgraded it after watching your videos. Servo, Esc, Tires , Motor, Etc. And 3 weeks ago I picked up Arrma Kraton 4s. I love it. Very fast. Its kind of funny that you got your first Arrma also. Thanks. RC Review.

I love the line "It says it goes 50 or 55 mph, something obnoxious like that."

I have no self control and impulse bought one at my LHS today. I ran it very quickly outside this evening (asphalt with curbs and grass) and I'm already impressed. I've had a 2wd brushless slash for about 6 years now and the difference between is massive. I can't wait to really get on it tomorrow.

Just got an Arrma Senton 4x4 and love it! Driven it in the rain no problem and can't wait to take it to my local pump track to see it hit full throttle and some jumps!

Get the outcast 6s! I got one and I love it. Fast, jumps good, flips good, takes a beating like a champ.

Really one of the best review channels out there. You really learn a lot Thank u

You are very correct about the value aspect about Arrma, and the Senton in particular. Because the Slash is so entrenched in the community, and is generally considered the 'go-to' (at least starter) SC truck, Arrma went to great lengths to top Traxxas in most areas, whilst keeping the price lower.

If I didn't know better, I would think that was your first time bashing. Your enjoyment/enthusiasm is great. Subed

I got a blx for my stepson for Xmas as a way to get him into rc and reintroduce myself to the hobby. Since I’ve gotten an xmaxx, trx4m, and rehabbed a 4tec that he already had. Pound for pound, dollar for dollar, the senton is the best. It’s shockingly fast with speed hawks for rubber.

I ordered the V3 version of this truck yesterday and watched this video for the first time tonight. I recently got a Team Associated ProSC10 2WD brushless truck which I really like and I wanted something similar in 4WD. Looks like I made a wise choice..

I had a granite blx 4x4 3s for a couple of months. Very durable truck. Now I have a Typhon 6s, Outcast 6s, a Kraton 6s and a Kraton 8s, which I just unboxed today 👍

The senton 3s blx was my 1st rc. I’ve put it through hell!!! Replaced the chassis from a hard hit to the belly against thick plywood, a bumper, 4 tires and the body. Worth every penny!! Especially with 2.8 wheels

I got mine from Amain it was a scratch and dent for $200.00 had a tire blown out. Had a set of Traxxas 2 wheel sc tires dismounted them and put them on the rims. Bought the Smart Powerstage battery and charger bundle for &99.99. Total cost $299.99 plus tax. I watch your videos all the time just subscribed. I thought I all ready had.

Next Arrma vehicle? The Infraction! It is the absolute opposite of a Crawler.

Just got the 6s Arma Kraton & like it. Maga power.Think you would like it a lot.

It's so funny watching a slow car guy talking about fast cars, your perspective is so different haha, love your channel! My favourite crawler channel.

Changing the wheels on the Senton gives you a totally different experience. If you go with big tires, make sure to get the 13t pinion while you are at it. You may also find that replacing the A arms with RPM arms is strongly recommended if you continue to bash big, mine have been amazing. The senton was my first then I got a Granite 3s BLX, then a couple of crawlers, thanks to you, and I finally got the Kraton 6s, and boy am I in love with that thing. Hard to find these days, but it is an incredible vehicle!

I got the Typhoon 3s. I love it!

Thank you for a trustworthy review. I am new to this and i try to educate myself. Like with everything today there is so much fluff out there about everything. You seem to be honest and reasonable about it all. I am in to it with 4 rc cars, from the WLP little truck (so much fun) up to 2 buggies (Wltoys and HSP) and finally my 1/10 HSP SCT. Well all my cars very in quality, even the same brand. The most expensive sct is junk, so much play in all the suspension parts, sad (HSP). Yes seems like better steering servos, some shock oil and diff maintenance is part of the game, but if you have junk chassis you have junk. The new version on this Senton now is the goal, in Indonesia it is 2x or more of what I paid for my cars but I kind of have junk. They run like stink, but the whole hobby grade experience is out the door. I was careful buying my cars, I watched other reviews....well they were just fluff. I suggest you guys buy the real things, again thx for good reviews. And yes 15 gear pinion is on my wish list. Running my Chinese junk on 2s brushless is fast enough for this guy.

Great job on the video and especially about re-gearing to the 15t pinion. I will be getting one soon and will definitely replace that pinion gear. I used to buy lots of Traxxas models in the past but now they support professional driver's which is fine for them. But I'm not paying their salaries so I'm building my collection with Arrma now....... Thanks so much for the informative video's ....... :)

I bought my own one as I use to race my 2wd torment and currently other RC are broken and I have a arrma kraton I custom built wanted something close to the kraton for the moment

not many people talk about them but i think a step up from traxas or arma would be losi ive got a bunch of losi from the JRXT i got in the late 80s and its still going to a DBXL I LOVE EM

Love your channel. Great to see that you actually are willing to go out of your comfort zone and do a "speed" basher instead of just crawling. Looks like you have to get some parity with your background shelves. Man that's alot of trail/ crawlers🤣🤣🤣. Great review, keep up the good work, and stay safe out there. Aloha🤙

The shocks are there only weak ness on the 3s range. I own all of them but the senton has not broke any yet. Great car. Good advice on the radio

Great video again. Great you did go for Arrma fist time. I am from Holland and have lots of Arrma experience. Arrma Infraction is by far the most amazing RC experience I had. Maybe test that one time?

I have the exact truck! I did gear it down though. It's much more enjoyable with a 15t pinoin. I would also recommend a chassis cover. I got one for mine and it made it perfect. No more rocks in the steering and no debris cutting into the drive shaft

I just got my V3 Senton Blx and I love it

I love your channel. You brought me back in crawling and how to make crawlers crawl 😉... And also you brought me back to bashing... So i own After your reviews both maxxes, a slash4x4, a kraton, a mojave, a felony and also the senton blx, and some others. I think i should maybe stop watching your Videos. Then i had mostly to go out and by a New rc car 😂 Pls do so on you did a great Job.

I hope theyre finally reliable

I love Arrma now and when they were Durango RC.

Next up for you, Arrma Mojave v2 it's a super basher truck!

5:12. Right on. So many times you see people switch out parts for metal upgrades here & there. They think their rig is getting better. All they're doing is making it heavier & transferring those impacts to a different part which will then break. If anything, I want my basher rig light and flexible. If any part of it is a weak point or might tend to break, I'd prefer that part be on the outer side of the rig or something that's quick & easy to replace vs say a more internal part that will take more time.

I also have the arrma 3s , changed radio gear to a flysky gt5 with gyro ;) and rpm front and rear arm as they have 2 hole to mount shocks so a bit more tunable, great channel keep up the great work, also just bought an axial scx 10.2 jeep Cherokee as I’m just into crawlers.

Love your channel, very detailed.

I'm building one of those atm from the ground up. I bought all the parts I need over the last week n things are not showing up lol. I got alot $$$ in it now because it's mostly integy hop ups and hot racing ect

I love this truck it’s one of my favorites! It does everything and it’s sooo fun ! Super fast 💨

Thanks for sharing my friend👍

Very nice 👍 I’m running a 3s Typhon which has been great 👊😎

Im putting in a brushless motor on my senton 4+4 looks pretty easy 😮.i just hope I don't have to mess with the slipper clutch and pads.😊

I replaced the stock servo on my Granite as well, it was a 7kg, now i have a 25kg in it and it works better. Replaced the radio as well for a DumboRC. Use the battery straps to hold the wires in place, mine used to come unplugged before i did that. There us a place in the front of the ESC that you're supposed to clip the wires in, but they dont stay. If you want to go nuts with Arrma, get the Kraton 8S. 😉

My son loves the granite i got him last year. Thinkin about gettin him a senton this year.

8:42 That one made me laugh. The senton will be my next RC car.

@RCReview The Arrma Senton 4x4 3S vs The Slash 4x4 VXL 3S - Great match up !

Could you please provide what servo you upgraded to? I bought a Reef's 299 LP racing servo (278 oz / 0.07 sec / 3.6 amp peak / 180 deg @ 6 volts). I know the 3S Senton 4WD BLX comes with a AR390069 BLX100 ESC that provides 6 volts, and up to 4 amps (continuous?). I paired mine with a spektrum 50C 3S 5000 mAH battery, the thing screamed. I did notice it overheated after a few long speed runs, might need to get a bigger fan, or cut some inlet/exhaust ports on the body. Haven't decided yet.

Oh man 6S is gonna rock your RC world...watch out! Mojave is amazing and the Senton is discontinued for some reason (probably bc it's downright dangerous). The best next Arrma for you is the Typon if you want to appreciate the speed and agility right out of the box.

your great at this stuff thank you

the senton is a beast.💪💪

Heck yeah the Arrma Senton 3s is worth every penny!!

The BMX please look like Calabazas bike park are used to ride there before it was all fenced in. Funny when I was younger and rode the park we hated rc cars on our jumps. Now I’m older and love rc cars I have to laugh what a punk I was.

I've been looking at these and trying to decide between it and the slash...of course then I saw the notorious 6s so now I'm all confused 🤣 great vid as always. I appreciate your comprehensive reviews. Totally helpful in these purchases. Thank you!!!

No way that can be better than your slash. I'm no fan boy but my lcg 4x4 slash ultimate with all the included hop ups is my all around go to rc. As far as durability well that's going to be based on many factors, driver, where you drive , how you drive, maintenance, on and on etc. Reason I like it so much is you can switch it up so easy. Monster truck , drag car, (well not so much with 4x4 by the rules) but I still do it. And SC racing you don't need all the hyped top speed of any of these crazy advertised brands, you'll never need it on the track or bashing. I see all these videos on here and people post 1 top speed vid the rest are all like what you were doing in this video, having fun. I don't get it. People just want to be able to say they can do 85 mph show it on gps and all the rest of their vids have nothing to do with top speed. ??? Maybe I'm just odd lol.

Very good detailed review

Love my arrma ,✌

Great video! Good Job!

I have this car,its amazing BUT gravel will get into steering mechanism and jam it up,ive had to make a plastic cover to try and stop it,it works 95% of the time,something gets through now and again,beast of a car though.

I just got me a cheap rock racer, the wltoys 12428. You should definitely look into it.

Update on the senton blx 3s iv had it for 3 months iv bashed it fairly hard it has taking a beating not one breakage but the plastic spur gear has stripped off already iv replaced the whole slipper clutch but can say be prepared the spur gear can not take the power and will round off fast

Would be cool to see this channel get into bashing. I've always been impressed with how arrma plastic drive shafts hold up I've beet the hell out of the granite 3s the kraton and outcast 4s and never broke a drive shaft. I also run a fully built notorious 6s one of my favorite trucks. Also they make good bodies. The stock spektrum radio is junk though

WOuld love to know how it stacks against the Team associated sc10!!!

Team corally is the only brand I have found that actually does the speed posted on the box. Wish they were more accessible in the US

Arrma was my first RC car before I moved on to my crawler (SCX10III). Thank you for all your reviews. Really helped me with my decision. Suggest you get the 6S Outcast or the 8S 1/5 Kraton. Salamat!

Finally, a guy who knows how to drive one and not just jump it 30 ft into the air and land it into a tree (of course that's fun too :P). I enjoyed your driving!

Which one should I get a Arrma Seaton blx 3s or Arrma Vorteks BLX 3s or Arrma Big Rock 3s, btw I will be be going off road dirt track/gravel/grass, let me know which one to get thanks.

What motor and esc upgrade would you recommend? Bought my son one and esc took a crap after 2 weeks.

What’s a good battery and battery charger, for this make and model?

So is this the cheaper one the mega if has a brushed motor? The ones at near 400 seem to be different?

I have the 6s blx. I love it.

Do yourself a favor and get yourself a Mojave it will blow you away you wont ever want anymore of the 3s stuff because the Mojave is just awesome

4s kraton is amazing even mire after upgrading the issues

You can buy chassis dust covers on Banggood.

What remote and server do you recommend?

I have a 4s Kraton and a 6s typhon. The body clips just seem to be tuff. Give it a month and all the clips will pull out the rubber. Upgrading is easy if you can find parts. I found with the 4s Kraton that theres not really many aftermarket parts that fit right. The stock parts are also hard to find at times. Luckily everything but the a arms are super durable and rpm has you covered on the cheap. I think parts parts are hard to find because everything but diffs and axels are really cheap compared to anything faster than 4s. Most gears and plastics are less than $10 usd.

Shocks are a weak point on their MEGA and 3s BLX line. They leak out of the box or after the first run. STX2 is garbage, we swapped to a Tactic TTX300. We swapped out the servo to the old one from my HPI Venture. Lastly, swap the wheel hexes to steel TRX 12MMs. You be able to use Slash wheels and tires. Those Dboots don't last long.

I bought the arrma senton yesterday and have already broke it. Something in the motor Grenadad and it has a cracked control arm

Next 6s Outcast Or kraton of course

I don't have experience with the Senton, but no matter what I did with my Traxxas, inlcuding an expensive LCG carbon fiber chasis swap, it wouldn't keep up with a stock Losi SCT Ten. Would love to see how the Ten 3.0 stacks up against the Senton. As far as the next Arma vehicle, maybe one of the Typhon's? There are tons of reviews of the Kratons and Infractions, but I haven't seen a bunch on the Typhon. I would say the Mojave, but outward it is close to the Senton.

Love your Channel. Its very helpful. I have a guestion. what are the pros and cons of brushless and brushed motors. What are the advantages of each?

Hi, what does kv mean? Vegas Paul here 😊

So have you had any problems with bdy rub tearing the tires? I read some comments about that on Amazon, and would like to know if I should do any trimming when I get one later this month...thank you for your input.

I managed to find the Typhon 3s BLX version 3 weeks ago & one of my shocks are already leaking. I’ve only ran 4 packs through it with zero jumps.

the arrma senton is a great car , very fast.. 50mph+ plus all plastic that is very light and hard to break.. its a horizon hobby car from the USA,, not from england. prob the best 3s car you could purchase.. the wheels are great for flat terrains... but i upgraded to larger wheels from the Arrma Granite that fit straight on.. you have to re-cut the wheel arches but its worth it.. its faster, copes better with all envioments.. a great car...

Similar question again; do we get the Mega and upgrade everything, or get the BLX and upgrade?

Have you tried the RedCat Camo TT? What do you think of it? How is the Senton holding up?

Can one put 1.9 wheels with crawler tires on this with a Baja big body to make it look more scale?

Let’s goooooo

Hello, my name is Andree and I come from Germany. I'm going to use this latest video to ask my question. I don't have that much experience with crawlers yet, but I'm reading in. Now I came across your channel and I really enjoy watching your videos. Since you also show a lot of the TRX4, I wanted to ask if you can give information about the G500 4x4 in a video. What are the differences from the Bronco? Since the G500 is cheaper, it should be more than just the body, right? Or maybe it even makes sense to buy the G500 cheaply and then make another body on it? I would appreciate a video or just an answer. Greetings Andree

15t pinion?! Too sensible 😁 I would go for the adjustable motor mount and get an 18t pinion so you can pull off some backflips 👌 Get a 6s Outcast or Notorious next. You will NOT REGRET IT 💪

Killed my motor bearings after 2 runs. I am now waiting 6 weeks for repair in NL.

For your next Arrma I say you do the Mojave 6s is you like the stadium truck of just go up to a Keaton 8S!

The typhoon came with a 17 try that

Isnt brushless more expensive

Can you compare it with Losi Tenacity tt pro?

How did you keep debris out of the steering bell crank ? I filled every hole with foam. and over the top of the servo. There is even a hole right under the bell crank such a poor design. Filled everywhere dirt and rocks could enter the body with foam. Very poor placement for the steering servo arm, anything can lock up the steering. I have one and other than that like the car.

Is a traxxas 4x4 vxl better or not

What's the difference between a brushed motor and brushless

Is there a reason why you moved the esc down onto the chassis, rather than on top of the receiver box?

You should get the cheap brushed one and 1.Upgrade servo before anything else 2. Definitely go brushless

My buddy and I bought a pair of these for some back yard racing. Really disappointing! They're fast and fun but the electronics are all garbage. Both ESC's failed, The motor bearings failed and my servo failed within 2 battery packs. The TX/RX combo was so slow to respond you could hardly drive them. Once all that was replaced it's a fun truck but not I have closer to $450 into it and for that I could have something much better. My 6S Arrmas are awesome, I'd just save your money and get one of those instead.

Biggest problem is dirt a debris get into the front bearing on the motor. It eventually destroys itself. This truck has its issues but with some modifications it will take a beating.

I run SCT on the Astro turf track..very nice with jumping..r u into fast car now? 😁
