It has quite a few faults actually. The bottom of the spur case is open and collect dirt and grit which eats spurs regularly they should have sealed it. The plastic driveshaft will melt apart if you get a twin inside and it rubs on it. The steering gets jammed by pebbles regularly. The shocks leak since new. Once those things are fixed it's durable.

It's a beast, I love mine. One big issue is the way the power module is not fully sealed and chews up sand in the spur gear. I have also shimmed mine as it was sloppy out the box and some people have experienced the slipper rubbing on the inside of the housing. My fix for the dirt issue is to seal it up and grease all the cracks, and underside of the module so dirt can't collect in there and make it really hard to get the module out. I also put some foam behind the module where the honey combs are to stop dirt getting in behind the module. To stop the chassis getting full of dirt, a stocking works well!

The Senton is a such a great car. I Got one two years ago starting into rc again. Beat the heck out of it and then built it into a granite. The granite was not so fun so I chopped it for parts when it finally broke. Now I have a Typhon thats amazing, and I now know all the tricks and fixes on the 3s rig, I can tune and fix it so fast now. I Missed the Senton so a new one is on its way. After a while I’m gonna tune it with a proline bash body, 17mm hex / buggy wheels and 4s it. I also have a 2wd slash, it breaks all the time and you can tell the parts are smaller / less plastic and less durable. I regret buying it, toy car.

Great car. Parts are reasonable and easy to get and most of the 3s line have interchangeable parts. I also really like the motor and ESC for it's performance. The down side is probably the way the chassis acts like a dust pan and collects everything and yes the servo gets jammed up quite often. They make a net / dust cover and that might be helpful. Not a big deal really for a car that is so fun to drive. Thanks for sharing your experience. I agree it's a great first car for a beginner because they will soon enjoy the extra speed of 3s over the 2s version. Don't get the 2s brushed version of the Granite or Senton IMHO . Excellent Video great vocal presence and commentary. 💯

Watched again before im going to my dad's to bash my kraton and senton 3s that i bought today. Best christmas ever! ❤🎉

Dust cover zip up bags for your chassis is a must❤

Here is a comment thrown into the void. I just got into RC. Long story short I let multiple bad experiences with hobby shop personnel when I was younger which bothered me so much then and now sometimes when I go in them today that I never got into RC despite wanting to. Anyway, I just started watching more of these videos after about 6 months of trying it all out. I always called it "the walk of shame" in my head when I had to go flip my truck/car etc back over. I didn't know that was a thing, to say that when you went to recover, until I saw it in a bunch of videos. I guess it's a natural fit because every walk was me doing a dumb thing.

I just got mine, one of the funnest rc trucks I’ve driven. Haven’t bashed too hard so far but performance wise it surprised me

I love the abuse these trucks can handle and literally keep on driving. I use 3drc front bumper support because I kept on breaking the stock support on rough tumbles. Fast and fun!! 💯

I just got one of these two months ago and I love it

Got the v1 still going strong 💪 v1 motor and esc way better than the spectrum

I had an Arrma Senton 4x4 V1 years ago. It was a solid truck. The only downside for me was the lack of center diff. That's why I prefer the Tekno SC410 when it comes to 4x4 short course trucks.

The slash has been up graded

Absolutely love love ours 😊❤ the only downside is it has so much power that it tears the aarma tyres to pieces 😆 but still love it! Also worth putting the mesh cover on it, keeps it all nice and clean

Hey there. Great rc car the senton. I've bashed mine around south Australia for about a year now. I agree with the tyres wearing quickly but that depends on what type of terrain you run on. As for the crap going all in the chassis, I bought a cheap and easy to install dust cover from eBay. Keep 90% of all that stuff out. Highly recommend it.

I just got one used on ebay for 200 usd. Used it a few times and it was cool but almost regreting it. I switched it to my dumbo radio and suddenly the thing was crazy fast. Thats when I realized the previous owner had the original tx set to 75% throttle. Now the thing is a blast. Its my first 1/10 rc, 2nd hobby grade rc (first was the wltoys 144010). Its taken my lack of skill very well. Many cartwheels and many high speed roll overs and nothing broke yet. I would guess anything with that kind of power is going to burn thru tires. My 144010 burned thru a set of tires after like 5 battery packs. Already on my 3rd set after maybe 10-15 packs of pavement thrashing. Had the senton for a few days now and already looking for a set of wheels cuz I know it won't be long 😆 So far they are lasting longer then the 144010 tires tho. But yea great value if your buying one pre owned, I would recommend it. It's going to get beat up no matter what so might as well save a few bucks and buy used if you can find a decent one

Had mine for a little less than a year and I have to say it's been one tough machine that is for sure! I don't know how many times I thought I broke something in the steering and it turns out to just be a little pebble stuck up in the linkage. Haven't broken anything yet.

On sale now for $270 or $300 shipped! So yes, definitely relevant! Same price as the regular price of the Mega!

Just bought my first RC car today and it is a Senton. Holy sh_t is this thing fast compared to anything I drove 20+ years ago! I agree that at full speed, it is a bit light on its wheels but otherwise it is just a ton of fun to drive. I have a Sledge coming and expect a ton of fun out of it as well.....only bigger and faster.

Just bought mine april 13 2023

Still worth it in 2023, this truck is great!

Great video man 👍🏽

I have one and it's tougher than nails. It's the Tex Cobb of RC's. However, do yourself a favor and buy a mesh cover for the inside.

Hot Racing Arrma 3S 4S Power Up Slipper Eliminator (Use Jato Gear) ATF25R02

Arrma Mojave 4s center diff works in these

4th issue leaking suspension but apart from that still one the best this is my first basher! Had to double check the reviews because didn't believe the prices they were being sold for though it was a scam lol absolutely unbelievable reviews say it's alot better than the Traxxas slash so away to check that out now

Nice rip on it mate 🔥🔥

Well done, thanks :)

Thanks for the long term review! Just ordered a 3s typhon and l'm a little concerned about the spur gear issue, with you having gone through 4 plastic and 3 metal ones. Does this only happen with extreme bashing?

i have the brushless arrma senton and I will say it is a nice car but there are a few cons of it for the price 1. steering servo is absolute shit 2. stock wheels also shit 3. not very stable at high speeds 4. gets dirty quite easy but for the price it is fun

Gtrat informed video! So would it be better to get the 550 brushed or just go for the brushless? Thanks

I keep leaning towards these more and more. I’m tempted to put some grippy tires on and run it at my Local indoor packed track. Lots of traxxas and Losi, I’m curious how this would do. recommend 4x2 for indoor..? never tried racing. I just wish they made this BLX in 4x2 brushless.

What’s the battery life like on these ??

Great video👍i have my eyes on a second hand one.. do you think that is a good idea? Anyway thanks for sharing and have a great week Subbed!👍👍greetings from Sweden

I am adding "dog exhaust" to my vocabulary.

This is probably the most durable Arma 3s. Body protects the chassis. Every time my 3s Typhon encounters an object over 3 in tall, it breaks.

I just got the exact one yesterday how long does it usually take to charge the battery?

The losi TT pro is better if you're looking for the track

Woah where are you buying your parts ? They charged me 70$ for a spur gear for the senton

Just ordered a 3s senton , can it run 3s?

still worth it in 2024?

I have a early version of the senton 4x4 3s blx. Green body. So whatever virsion it it is. Question is: will stock electronics survive 4s? I have all 2c 100c packs, and i think 75c packs. Mite they smoke something? Want to try 4s packs.

this or rustler vxl 2wd?

Hmm where is this car the cheapest and where should i order it from?

Out of the box rhe senton is tougher AND CHEAPER! By those two facts, the senton wins easily. Even when comparing their brushed versions. The sentons are all 4x4 while some slash are rwd only! And even the brushed senton is $50 cheaper than the brushed 4x4 slash.

You are obviously not a hardcore basher. The entire truck is plastic. I have a big rock v3 and wore out every drive train part on the truck in no time. It's a great truck after l upgraded the entire truck to my level of bashing.
