Senton Any issues to look for? First Senton coming. V3.

[Shiu]

Couldn’t read about any common issues for the v3. But curious what I should look for. Like check any particular screws before running, parts that are prone to damage, etc. Had nothing but problems with my 4s Kraton so thought I’d be smart and check in advance about the Senton.

I suspect there's a motor/esc thing going on, but otherwise solid trucks.

The ones out right now? I just got one a little over a week ago only thing so far is a weak a$$ front bumper but other than thst not really.

I have a big rock v3 you might want to shave a hole into the bottom of your chassis under the spur gear. This will help get all the grit out and keep your bearings from failing early on.

Setons are tire destroyers.stock up

Check your pinion/spur mesh and your steering endpoints before the first run. Have fun!

I have had mine since xmas and ran it in rain, snow, below freezing, sand, dirt, ashphalt, and leaves sticks. Stock tires and extra soft and not meant for asphalt. get some trenchers or street tires. i have rebuilt 1 shocl due to leaks. pretty sure at least one shock shaft is bent, easy fix. i have replaced a rear diff pinion recently. quick, easy and cheap but also have metal options. pivot balls go out real fast. I got composite replacements since Hot Racing seems to be out of stock indefinitely. I got some other brands that fit but just used the composites on hand.

Overall a solid truck. i also got some small twigs stuck between the motor and center driveshaft so now am looking at a dust cover. rocks and twigs do get stuck in the servo. Not a reason to not get one since i don't frequently run through sticks and rocks.

Just an idea of what ive replaced so far and i don't baby mine. I have no checked motor pinion/spur mesh, running on all stock bearings.
