The wiring left a lot to be desired.
If I wanted it to be able to last more than 5 minutes the wires needed protection.

Early November 2022:
If I could go Back I would not have chosen that Dark Red Stripe.
This tire combo wouldnt work, but its fun to see what it would look like.

Still on the short wheel base here.

Is it just me or does everyones arrma seem to tilt to one side?

I am planning to have Senton Bumpers mounted after testing. This should add to the Baja flavor.
Also planning to change the front gear ratio, since the Senton tires have a smaller diameter.

Looks good.

If you use the Senton chassis instead of the Granite... The wheel base would have the wheels match up with the body much better.

How are you going to do this? I’m curious here…

 

[greynation]

I think this calculation should work based on a full size car calculation I found for smaller front tires...

I have a chassis. and the driveshaft. Just wanted to see what it was like to drive a short wheelbase Senton

But it will go on there at some point.

Is there even a 15t input gear? I’ve only seen 13t and 17t input gears for the 3s line. That’s why I was asking.

In this case. I need to explore different tire diameters to match a 17x13 input combo

You will kill the rear diff...

I may just make it 2wd

Looks way better on the long wheel base

I know. It's not going to work unless I get the gearing perfect
