I've had my Big Rock for 2 years and have put countless battery packs through it. Can confirm everything you've said here. I run it on 3S and only jump maybe 10 ft in the air at most, and I've still had to upgrade the motor mount and the spur gear, almost immediately when I owned it. I also just recently had to upgrade the differentials as they finally chewed themselves up.

@frankdegroot93

Something I've done to my big rock is placing a front suspension brace that allows me to place the top mount wider. This stopped it from bottoming out so easy with the wider typhon arms in it. Totall fixed it for me!

@gmanningrc5745

Great insight into the bigrock👌

@Bigben.51

Just got one today and this video is amazing, thanks brother

@Mikey23058

Nice video buddy 😊

@JoevsRc

Nice update. My buddy has one all stock and its a runner.

@LeifWikinger

Thank you for detailed Review on the big rock.

I just upgraded my big rock to rpm typhon arms and hot racing 17mm hex hubs with 10mm o/s. Followed up with typhon buggy wheels and 4s esc. Love my big rock.... passed down a arms from big rock to vorteks and its a keeper too. I use the metal 4s diff set from arrma and have good luck with them so far

@petermccann2561

I own this truck, and agree it's fun to drive. At just over 6 pounds, it's fast on 2s. I'm not expecting the dead parts pile that comes with over powering a 3s vehicle to 4s. You were running 4s, right? I also owned the new 4s Kraton v2.5, and sold it. It tended to run warm, and has no space for a larger motor, like the HW XR8 combos I have. It also wouldn't steer worth a crap, since they left the crap servo saver in it. If you have to have 4s, buy a 4s truck. There's many advantages to keeping weight down, as with most 1/10 scale cars. Adding weight for un-needed power mods makes these 3s truck less reliable, and less fun. It looks like my Big Rock 3s, and Kraton 6s EXB, can remain stock, as long as they're running nice and cool, below the max cell cell count. :)

I have had my Big Rock first addition for a few years now and the only thing that I have had to do was replace the servo and I put better shock oil in all the shocks plus added more and better grease to the front and rear diffs . ARRMA is bad about not putting enough oil and grease in their components . I think that when you buy a 3s RC you should probably not change it to 4s because a lot of your parts collection just may be the result . Thanks for the video !

@redndeyes

🤣 mine sits needing diffs now. Waits for Maxx to come from the skatepark for story time 🤣 got tired of messing with it.

@daniellclaassen2670

Ja, it seems like it's better going for the new Outcast 4s. End of the day, cost will be much less. Really like the Big Rock but there's just way too much needed upgrades to do.

@Mark-yy2vw

I bought mine cos i got tired of waiting for the new 4s range to come out, have to say i wish i had waited, im just not going to spend another £250 on upgrades it is a good truck when it works but that dont last long

@amaibot

A huge request. Please write the original numbers of differentials, drive shafts, engine mount plate (do I need some new part to add to the plate?), steering link. If I don't upgrade to a 4s motor, will the clutch be ok? Is it worth changing the native plastic levers to aluminum? (The Chinese are offering a kit from RCAWD).

@Lee.gRC27

The only thing that used to do my head in was the shocks always pulling the rods out of the end eyes on little roll overs,motor plate bending,, I sold mine after getting a Mt10 🙄

@1998_toyota_supra

Great video. Do you run toe out on your front tires. Mite just be my POV.

@Magneticitist

I love my Big Rock but I feel like it's overbuilt for what I use it for, which isn't bashing but just general FPV exploration. I haven't had any problems with it just casual driving. All I can really think to upgrade would maybe be the ESC or trying to tune the suspension for softer off roading.

@flintnfeather

Hey Chris, could you please share links on where you purchased your body protection plates? I see you have hood, roof, and tailgate skid plates. Would love to find some for our Big Rock. Thanks in advance! :)
