Granite Another Granite Build

[Rijodan]

Just Bought one today and ran the first battery through it, already ripping rubber from the body and enough tumbles I know the breakage is sooner than later!

Not into a rush to upgrade, but would love recommendations that i can look into and do as I break this bit by bit.
As I bought mine another basher warned me the granite is a wheelie monster and he fixed it with Typhon arms to widen the stance, though did say to skip the aluminum arms as now he breaks entire wheels off instead of minor parts.

As I've started to read through builds here i notice many say the stock wheels are chewed through quickly so any wisdom on that front im all ears. Between the park, the yard and the farm I'll be nearly all in fields and dirt and leave piles.

I know for the basic parts Jenny's is a great resource for my granite but i don't see many parts for my sons Typhon Mega, am i stuck with Horizon and Amazon for that one?

It will still wheelie with Typhon Arms and Links but be a bit more stable and less tippy. It will help with tires shredding on the body as well but you can also just trim the existing body to remedy that.

If the Typhon Mega is a V3 then the only difference between a 3S BLX is:

*Fixed vs. Adjustable Links
*Slipper clutch assembly (48P vs better design and 32P gear)
*Motor housing (plastic vs metal/plastic)
*Bodies are slightly different
*Brushed vs Brushless

Def skip metal and RPM arms, not worth the hassle.

Rpm arms? is that brand or material
Took it out to a large field today and yeah definetly need to work on something for the wheelies, wide turns fix the flipping issue but for the most part kept the throttle at 50% cause full bore even at 75% i was wheely-ing and at 100% it likes to do backflips, Any handling tips to reccomend but otherwise need to find how to keep the wheels on the ground when i need em to be! lol

Had it out today and blew a tire, some rough bashing around ive ripped or lost some of the clip dangles, and craxked the body. Time to order some parts!

Any suggestions on tires? Prob gonna do the upgrade to 17mm hexes for some bigger tires
