I’m thinking on building a techno SCT 410.3

Nice Video! I know Im late, but how long is your average run with the gensace 5000mah 3s?

I just got back into Rcing after a 20 year break. I used to run only nitro and my 2 favorites were the original T-max .15 and the Revo which I bought right when it was released. Unfortunately/Fortunately my career started and I only got to play with my Revo for a few months. I was bored about 2 months ago and on amazon (bad idea). I saw an offbrand electric buggy boasting of 50+mph speeds for only $130 so I bought it and I am hooked again. The buggy is insanely fast and especially for the price. At that point, I wanted a new truck to bash and jump with. I was looking through the Traxxas lineup and saw the new E-Revo 2.0 VXL and fell in love. When I got the truck, I was expecting something the size of my original T-max/Revo since they are all 1/10th scale. I was not expecting a 1/8th scale truck. The thing is absolutely amazing to drive but is to big for out front of my house which is what I really wanted it for. So now I am looking for something around the size of the original t-max/revo. I love the look of this truck and it seems to be built well. Since pictures can be misleading, is this truck more comparable size wise to the older 1/10th scale trucks?

My mesh seems spot on. Got a good assembly on min it seems. But I was a bit concerned. That’s all human error inconsistencies. Glad you like your big rock.

RC NightLife u Put put a 6s in the big rock?

I’ve still got it. Great 3S basher.

Hey Razor, hey its not hard to get them off with loctite? Just wondering cause I know its a small screw and a tough spot to get at to heat up.

@@cwatson42785 Blue loctite should come off fine without heat and will definitely beat losing a wheel and/or screw mid-bash session. I just ordered a Granite and will be checking that as one of my pre-run checklist items. Based on what I've seen of the Big Rock I may end up with one of them this year too... Will have to see how it goes. Might be hanging up the 10 year old T-Maxx Nitro in favour of electrics.

Happy with it?

So I have a question what does the plug do?

Get some replacement bearings for the motor,same 💩as before spectrum lable!!! No grease or a drop!

Call horizon you’ll get a replacement servo, just might take awhile so good you bought a new one already.

set the end points on the servo will prevent that...

Yes it’s waterproof. Water resistant is more accurate.

It’s subjective based on your driving preference. Granite is shorter wheelbase and so it’s more prone to wheelies and flips. Big rock is more stable but you can also flip it in air easily.

@@netcruzer I'm talking in terms of speed the motor, suspension ,longevity overall best bang for the buck they are very similar in price. I guess I should have specified that anybody can pull wheelies . I'm going to be using it more on sand baseball grounds ,and open fields and maybe pavement not going to rock crawl or anything extreme. Thanks

Do the ESC calibration with your radio and see if that fixes it. Set full throttle, neutral, and full reverse and try it.

I’ll try to find a big jump somewhere next run. 😆 if we get snow at least it can make for some good jumps.

Arrma Big rock. Redcat Is generally weaker, cheaper, and not as well designed.

I was wondering the same thing but I assume it's the slipper clutch..you can tighten it if you want I'm sure

I'll try that I'm also using a ic5 to seems connector to do u think that's a issue? Maybe

@@philiplibby7536 im ok with the delay. maybe less likely to break something. I assume you meant deans? i had those on mine and they seemed a lil sparky so I soldered on some xt60's.

Ok yea that makes sense anyways I love the truck only running it on 2s now waiting on some 3s lipos thanks for replying stay safe

@@philiplibby7536 you too

That depends on the battery. This was an old 4000mah 25C running thru an adapter and I got 10mins +

@@netcruzer oh nice that's not bad at all probably get around 20ish on a 5200-6000mah then

@@ASmallPoop Some people say it'll do 30 min on 5000 mah, but It depends

Awww. Warranty and customer service will help you. But that sucks to get a dead truck.

@@netcruzer I feel kind dumb I took it to my local hobby shop in tempe az hobby action. I guess I was pressing the program button it works the guy showed me how to turn it on newbie mistake lol .thanks for getting back to me good video let the bashing begin

I’d expect an e-revo size body will fit Nero.

@@netcruzer I will check into that. thank you very much!

I already own a granite 4x4. Granite is a bit more stunty with shorter chassis and taller stance. New Big rock 3S feels like a smaller tire kraton 4S to me. I like it.

The Arrma 4s series is not as durable as the 3s and 6s series. That means I'd actually prefer a 3s granite over a 4s kraton. Oh and in terms of granite vs big rock - the granite is great at pulling wheelies and stunts in the air while the Big Rock crew cab is a little bit more stable (less wheelies) because it has a longer chassis

I'd wait for the 4s so you can at lease compare all the revisions to thier product line before you buy. The big rock is a cool platform. But it does have some weak points and those weak points can turn into problems( at lease for me they did). However, with a few upgrades it can easily become a beast.

What would you want to upgrade? Thing with the 3S BLX line, is if you think you want to throw a bunch of upgrades at it, you might as well go 6S BLX instead. Yes you can upgrade shocks and wheels and tires and servo and electronics but there is no need. It works great stock.

These are the strongest versions of 3S Arrma makes. They are stronger than the equivalent traxxas design. Ive used both quite a bit. Each has a weak point in the slipper, but you might never find it. I have confidence in the big rock design. It’s based off the 4S heavy duty slipper and gears and diffs.

@@netcruzer awesome thanks for the reply I just ordered one for $275 v3 I feel good about my buy!.

@@derekquinones8614 where for 275?

They seem to hold up quite well in the last revisions. The size of them makes it too big and heavy for metal use IMO.

@@netcruzer Yes totally agree, nothing wrong with the diffs in these cars. Plastic diffs have held up well on both my 3s cars. Depending on the vehicle, metal is not always better.

No it’s not adjustable

@@netcruzer but do they make option one thats adjustable!

No and no. It’s designed for 3S use max. Crown gears on diffs are huge and plastic on all these plastic tub arrmas. If you want 4S or 6S you need a 6S Arrma with 2050kv motor.

Hey how are you liking yours so far, Rob? I just ordered one today and was doing the same thing! From what I've seen so far it seems to be the biggest bang for your buck.

@@brin3535 check out some of my videos on it. I’ve added lights and have several run videos. It’s a great truck 👍🏻

@@robsrcinsanity1220 will do, Rob.

Adding LEDs can be done in many ways, buy an LED kit

Resistant. Seems OK, but in general sand always finds a way in. It’s nasty.

Any good quality 3S is good but I like the Gens Ace 3S 50C 5000mah hardcase. And if you want smart batteries I like the Spektrum Smart 3S hardcase. I like hardcase for added durability and safety. Both of this have EC5/IC5 style connectors that plug into BigRock

@@netcruzer I think I’m gonna go with the smart battery since I’m not very experienced I rather over pay but go the safe route. Thank you very much!

What it comes with works for me. Center is a slipper clutch. Everything was well set stock.

The HOSS would need another ESC to support 4S. The BigRock would need an ESC and a Motor to support 4S. It's not worth it.. 4S is going to need a lower KV motor and a 1/8 scale ESC.. so you don't gain speed just more torque.

Better to just put a high mAh high C 3S in it. A 4S need a heavier, more powerful motor and ESC and the truck is not designed for it. It is VERY fast out of the box, not sure why you want 4S. If you want a speed runner pick up an Infraction or a Felony.

Gens Ace 5000 mah 3S hardcase

@@netcruzer thanks man I really appreciate that

@@netcruzer oh wait and what charger

I wouldn't buy any HPI, their parts support is nearly non existent and that company is on life support.

@@netcruzer just ordered the arrma hahah

Good choice miketube. I had a flux XS. Arrma is a big upgrade.

Kaiju is more like an 1/8 scale stunt truck IMO. Check out CCxRC videos on that. I personally prefer this, the longer wheelbase smaller tire BigRock Crew Cab

@@netcruzer thx 🙏
