Hey definitely set throttle end points. That will help with the lag. Turn on remote, turn on esc will holding set button for a few seconds and it will enter program mode. Press set button once while its in neutral, then press full throttle and press set button again, then pull full reverse and hit set button one more time. You will then hear 3 beeps letting you know its set. Also check out duratrax sct wheels. They have a bunch in 14mm and are great!

The Senton has a factory set 60% punch setting. It throttles itself slow to full. Change it to 100% punch and you will eliminate all throttle lag.

Nice rip! I’ve run my RCs in water before and it does cause issues, but I blow them off and then spray metal moving parts and bearings with silicone oil. That sand on the other hand is an RC bearing killer...I definitely avoid the sand even though it is a blast to drive in🤪.

@warpspeed9.985 3 жыл бұрын

I blew a tire on mine yesterday. Lol! And a chassis cover is a must for the senton. Also the lagging is in part because it's geared to high. IMHO. I put a 17t pinion gear on mine and it's way better for the bashing you where doing. It comes with a 20t pinion gear so you can hit that advertised 50 mph.

@meltonenterprises6761 3 жыл бұрын

Where is a good place to order the pinion gears? And what material should they be made out of to mesh with the stock spur gear? I want to purchase a 16 or 17t but am still waiting for my Senton to get here so idk what the spur gear is made out of. Thanks in advance. ❤💛💛

Water is the enemy of RC Tires and really everything else in them. I know it's cool to zip across but it seems this Truck Chassis is slightly too narrow for its own good. A dust bag might do wonders for it. I still can't wait for mine to arrive! Question, are you guys based out of Hong Kong? Just wondering, thanks.

We’ve had a Senton 3S for a few months and have experienced the same issues... but even more so. The ESC was bad from the start (Arrma sent a replacement). The rocks in the steering was solved by a net over the chassis and a cover over the hole under the chassis. But, we’ve had 2 tires explode even without driving in water. Hopefully that’s not a sign of a bad batch of tires from the factory!

To be fair you did no mistake, if there is water an RC must get into the puddle. The fault is honestly Arrma's, they really use poor quality bearings, they cease so easily. Not to be a fan boy but Traxxas does a better job there. Not the best bearing in the world, but still they last a while before ceasing, they don't die the first / second time out or the first time they touch water. Enjoy the wet man, running your RC in the water is fun. I especially like running on wet asphalt either with a road car or with those little cute things like the UDIRC
