Senton 3s Brutal Review

Ойын-сауық

In this video we go over the Senton 3s from Arrma. Having had the Senton for a long time, I feel it is well past time for this Brutal review. We take the Senton to the bench and go over the changes this car has received to make it the car it is today. Upgrades to the machine have improved the handling and durability, but not at the cost of speed, for the Senton 3s is still a blisteringly fast car. Much of the time it looks out of control, but that is usually not the case, for the car is easy to control and it seems to respond instantaneously. Come along with us as we put the Senton 3s to the test and then give you our thoughts on the vehicle as a whole. Also, you will get our four questions and where the car stands in our AJJAMStudios ratings. AJ

    Your tips nailed it. I have implemented some of them on my Outcast already. I have tried to convert my pre-owned Arrma Senton Mega to 3S. It seems the Hot Racing metal spur doesn't fit with my Robinson 20T pinion. That is why I will use a plastic spur while the right pinion will travel from the US to Ukraine. Thanks for all of your videos.

    I have no idea how you didn’t kill the diffs. My big rock 3s destroyed the rear input gear within 2 weeks. My friend with a senton never broke his, someone else bought a typhon 3s and it also chewed the diff very quickly. I assume the SCT tires are significantly less load on the diffs.

    I'm not sure if you have any experience with the 3S big rock, but what would you prefer between this and the big rock? My bashing areas pretty similar to what you have. Large rock driveway, large open grass fields that are trimmed and the small amount of dirt.

    I had senton mega went to 2s brushless setup. It was breaking left and right. Input shaft broken . Stripped spurs left and right. Leaky shocks. Melted the driveshaft by a piece of twig rubbing. Servo would always jam up with rocks and get locked up. Once I fixed all that I threw a net around the chassis to stop debris.

    If you get a newer version then the shocks should work well out of the box. The oil can be tuned and they do not leak as the older ones did. Still, we searched eBay using - Arrma Senton big bore shocks - and ordered some of those. They seem to work good and they look cool, plus they are tunable. I’m sure there are others out there.
