Yes, Great comparison! I do wish they had roof sliders included. They are 2 of the best trucks you can get, I feel. I recommend shoe glue and drywall tape for the bodies. That is something any RC will benefit from. Great video.

@cacanjacowans540 3 жыл бұрын

*FIRST TIP* Definitely underspray your body in black or gunmetal....the flat black is on the OUTSIDE of the truck. So if you roll it the scratches and scrapes are show all the way thru the body shell. 😕

What are the tape and glue for?

@scottp.2995 Жыл бұрын

@@cjboots1115 The tape and glue are to protect the shell from breaking- It actually stiffens up the whole ride also (which is a good thing). Good tip to darken (coat) the underside too, to protect the body from the sun showing through the scratches on the skid plate/bottom, which are bound to shine through, shrug. They won't really hurt anything, but it doesn't help the appearance, wink.

Can you please try putting the big rock body on the granite? I really like the look of the crew cab and I wanna put it on my granite.

@joshua_luther 3 жыл бұрын

It's definitely a good and easy conversion to change the a arms on the granite to the bigger ones from the big Rock or Typhon 3s. That's what I did with my v2 Granite and it handles corners better. Also changed out my tires to some Duratrax 2.8 MTs. They are a bit smaller than the dboots that come on the granite. But way better traction.

Moving the rear driveshafts to the front? Didn't think it was possible assuming how they are "specifically labeled" 🤔 I also added black fortress MTs to mine right out the box.... the handling is perfect. Definitely more controlled (especially in the turns) doesn't wheelie as much and you actually can get some "BRCC drift action" going on. 😁👍🏾Lol

I've had my granite about three weeks now... What a disappointment. No oil in shocks, spur gear stripped on first run from the motor coming loose from its "adjustable" motor plate, pinion gear broke on next run. My unit does run hotter than my Kraton (not sure of actual temp, but too hot to touch) and drive shaft on rear broke yesterday. I have yet to be able to even run a full pack through it. Its been on the work bench more than 90% of the time since I received it.

Don't give up on it yet bro! I bought Serpent 811te RTR last month (1st 1/8th scale truggy) and had few issues out of box---too much red loctite on wheel hexes. Caused jammed wheel nuts when changing wheels/tires for another basher MT set I bought; resulted in 3 bent cvds. Then my front & rear diffs stripped out after 1st full bash. Older, non-shimmed V1 gears were in there. Shimmed V1 gears are in center diff and performs very smooth. Serpent America mailed out 4x cvds (free) but I had to buy new diff gears. Updated V2 gears (require no shims & have deeper tooth design) now all diffs are very smooth. Heavier oils 50/300/30 she runs BEASTLY!! ARRMA sells legit, probably the best RTRs in all of RC....

Jaytee have you had any issues with the ESC on either of these? My big rock has started to do an odd stutter from a dead stop. Works fine from a roll. Was running fine on Sunday, but last night I changed the punch to 4 and it started doing the stutter. Changed back to 3 ok punch and still doing the stutter. Going to try calling horizon today if it still does it today. Running 2 and 3S 5400 70C lipos. Like I said had been running fine until yesterday with those batteries.

Ok I hate arrma but you get way more for your money than other cars .I believe a rtr is a ready to run that means you should be able to run a bunch of packs before it breaks on normal use. I was a fan boy of that T company but out of the box tons of breaks. I believe you should only have to up grade when your hard on car . Ime on my 10 pack on the big rock no breaks I still hate arrma don't get me wrong in 2 weeks I now own 2 big rocks one for me and my son and looking at another car. Nice job arrma you get what you pay for now I can up grades to how we drive. Yes I hate you because I want more lol keep building them tough I keep spending👍

JayTee can I ask if you have ever converted either the Granite or Big Rock from 14mm hexes to 17mm hexes using the Arrma Typhon 3s BLX parts? I'm considering doing it on my V2 Big Rock at the moment and it seems all I need to replace is the axles in the end of the drive shafts and add the hubs, pins, screws and wheel hubs from the Typhon. I think this is the kind of upgrade you might do on your models and seems like it offers better wheel and tyre options for the Big Rock while using Arrma stock parts. Thanks sir.

@thisoldnew4544 3 жыл бұрын

I'm new to RC Trucks and I've ran those exact batts back to back checking the heat of the motor and it felt luke warm on a 60* day. As far as power goes it's not too fast it just can't keep the front tires on the ground, but makes for some badass 100' wheelies.

@scottp.2995 Жыл бұрын

If it's a V3 - 3S batteries SHOULD run fine without presenting a heat issue. The mah doesn't really matter (it just has to physicallly fit) just the voltage: 2S are 7.4vdc and 3S are 11.1 vdc. Heat is mostly caused by current flow, but motors are really only designed to run at certain voltages without overheating (of course, without proper cooling, the longer it runs, the hotter it gets) THAT'S where mah comes in...
