Great video and build. The alternative to this would be to buy a 3s Big Rock and install the center module as it already has the wider arms and handles better than the Granite due to its longer wheelbase.

Thanks! That’s true!! But I also really like the air control and flips of the short wheelbase, but yes I agree that’s still a great alternative!

Iv been enjoying the RC toys . Got a Kraton 6s and love it . Servo got replaced and the front center bone got bent back into shape . One of the rear tires is a little wobbly . That carbon fiber Rlaarlo though is also a sweet one . Smooth , quiet , quick , handles really good for a smaller guy imho oh and I changed my first diff and and got to do the spider gear thing , lol . Things are coming along nicely thanks to vids like this and I m getting closer to feeling comfortable with breaking stuff I know can be replaced . Hopefully stuff doesn’t break all the time though . I had a zee 3s 2200 in the hbx16980sa is what I think blew that rear diff apart . They have a battery that fits in 3s now . Have a great weekend dude

I honestly can’t tell much of a difference . That damn rlaarlo though cake set up perfect . I don’t even know how to adjust the steering yet but I did learn to set the remote down after the Kraton 6s launched into my truck bed from the tailgate 😂. I can’t be the only one . Safety first . The big ones can be dangerous imho in the wrong hands . I still don’t know why people stand in front of them . Have a great weekend bro .

Got a question, putting a 2847 5300 kv motor in my amx12 and set my gears with the stock 27t pinion and 30t spur. I kept the stock esc which is 45a. Do you think I should get a bigger esc for the setup or the stock is good enough? It seems to not stop as quick as it did before.

@DerbyCityRC 2 ай бұрын

I’m not a huge fan of that esc. Especially if you’re running 3s, I’d get a good quality 60 amp. Just gotta make sure it will fit where you want it to go and that it will hook to the motor.

@russellupkes8263 it is for sure! The Gorgon is probably more kid friendly and can be upgraded as needed. The granite you can always slow down some with the controller and make it faster as they’re ready. I don’t have a Gorgon but it seems cool for sure! Me personally I would still go for the granite. The stability upgrades helped a lot for sure!

@russellupkes8263 I like the granite because it’s short wheelbase helps it do tricks in the air. The big rock may be slightly less capable of that, but would be a bit more stable most likely.

@GaetanoCrisci thanks! They’re slightly longer so it will give it just a little more ride height. I didn’t drive it with them on as the 2996a is not currently driveable lol. After you install them, do a little bit of trial and error to see if you need to put thinner fluid or adjust the springs. The terminator is heavier so it’s possible a little tuning may need to be done. Thanks so much!!!

I am poor and thought the 3s Granite would be a fun RC for my poor ass. I replaced the plastic spur with a steel one, sunk $100 more into metal diffs, and now my slipper clutch never stays tight. It drives ne crazy, and there are so many different slipper parts on the arrma website, no explanation of what goes with what, they don't even tell you the effing materials the parts they sell are! I want to end my nightmare with a center diff. Thanks for making this video. Maybe i can sell enough plasma to buy what i need. I'm also a complete noob when it comes to wrenching, but I'm addicted to driving my RC. I drive it every other day, and the slipper seems like a garbage cheap-ass copout, and I'm never going to like it. I need something reliable like a center diff.

Hey Evan. Love your videos as always. Couple questions cause I wanna do this to my Granite. Its already wide which I love. Hopefully I'll win the raffle then I'll have 2. 1st. Will the stock center slider driveshaft fit? If not what do I order? 2nd. If I get the housing from Horizon do I still need the screw set with the socket head screws because I see it comes with screws? One more thing. Where do I get the counter sink? Thank you for your time.

@DerbyCityRC 2 ай бұрын

Thanks Ben!! I good luck on the Raffall and thanks for the support😊! Yes the telescoping axles and the spring-loaded center drive shaft all still work perfectly. So you should be good if HH has the screws. I guess I didn’t pay attention to that. Jenny’s takes all the screws and sells them in a kit (greedy! 🤣) My countersinks were bought from Home Depot, but this one is what I would use. No need for it to have the drill bit on it, I just couldn’t find mine that day (I did right after of course when I wasn’t even looking). amzn.to/4dDDM0E Could always get a single one for cheaper at hardware store. Hope this helps!!!

Are you using batteries with the EC5 or IC5 connector? It can do that if you have deans plug batteries and use an adapter to hook to the ESC. If not, like Rants said, make sure each individual wheel turns freely and that the car is easy to roll on the floor by hand. I small bit of resistance from the motor is normal but should still roll easily. Checking the motor pinion to spur gear mesh for being too tight is another thing. If all that checks out, warranty possibly?
