Felony Arrma Felony Rebuild

[WoodiE]

Since getting my Mojave EXB I haven't been running my Kraton 6s at all and decided it was time to get something else. Ended up trading the Kraton for a used Arrma Felony that isn't in terrible condition, but certainly seen better days.

This is my first on-road car I've owned in probably 10 years so I'm looking forward to rebuilding this one and having some fun.

Currently, I have a full set of Basherqueen carbon fiber parts and a set of FastEddyBearings ball bearings on the way. I'm thinking about replacing all the electronics too, but not sure yet or with what if I do.

This is its current condition.

The underside of the chassis looks really good.. The previous owner didn't abuse it all that badly.

Congrats on the all-road. Looks like it needs a good cleaning but whomever put XT60's on with that soldering job needs a good smacking...

 

[Mikeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeal]

It'll buff out.

 

[#ARRMArcfanboy4life]

That is good condition.

Oh golly, I'm a dud today!!

Going to head over to the LHS and see if they have new tires for the Felony.

In the meantime I just ordered a @PPS-RC motor mount. After having one on my Kraton this is a no-brainer. That reminds me, I need to order one for my Mojave sometime too.

It’s going to be very slippery with stock tires. I experimented for months and found the perfect setup. Search for my threads. They are at least 1year back.

From the little searching I've done so far, it seems the Gold dBoots (ARA550085) are the favorites.

 

[Mr.Vylan]

Yes. Gold. But they wear super fast. Use them for front. Use the Traxxas for rear.

Sometimes a new project is just what you need to get the juices flowing.

Good luck @WoodiE

Like x01 tires?

 

[Hammer Down]

Glad your enjoying the Mojave.

 

[WoodiE]

Yes, @Mr.Vylan is referring to the Traxxas XO-1 (TRA6479) wheels/tires in the rear.

His thread, Felony - rear tire option, has the details on how to fit the tires on the Arrma Felony.

 

[WoodiE]

Most all of the cosmetic pieces have been removed and cleaned in the ultrasonic cleaner.

I am now pretty much ready for the new ball bearings from @FastEddy to arrive, as well as my new motor mount from @PPS-RC. I don't typically trust electronics on used RC's, so I'll likely replace all the electronics for this build as well once I figure out what I want to put in there.

Next step while I'm waiting is to remove the diffs and rebuild them.

You keep saying this is a family forum, put a cover on that thing!

Well honestly that's pretty dirty too.
