Early this year I put this together. It was a Granite 4x4 Mega with MEGA 6s power that it had no way of using. Plastic diffs & driveshafts made this creature feel like I dropped a LS2 in a Civic.
That toy is gone. It decided to ditch its plastic guts & evolve into an all-powerful Arrma RC . . . but it wasn't easy at all. This car was made to take out the box & go straight to running, however slow that run was. It was quickly upgraded to a 1/10 brushless system where it busted rear input gears left & right. I fixed that with a mod & never looked back. 3s was fast & fun but I always thought it could do more. The chassis was thick, strong, & reinforced at all the right areas. The diffs & driveshafts, although plastic, were huge so I wanted to see just how much power it could take. Answer: A TON.
The crackling chattering diffs died in this video. 6s was way too much power. It couldn't even get much of it to the ground. So I dropped a lower kv 4s system in it & it spent the majority of its life like that, until I got bored with it. The car wanted power & I wanted to give it that gift. If this car wanted to run 6s w/o blowing parts then all the parts doing the blowing would have to be beefed up, & what's more beefier than an Arrma 6s drivetrain. Dropping the drivetrain in this car was no cakewalk. This is the most modding I ever done on any car.
For something born of a monster mash, it looks awfully well assembled if I do say so myself.
The front CVD rods came from a Redcat Earthquake while the axle hubs & hexes were from a Redcat Shredder.
Bolting in the Arrma center diff was fairly easy. I just had to cut away a bit of the center honeycomb.
