Alright I'm sure it's been asked and I'm new to the forum I have an Arrma senton 3s for about a year now I'm looking to find out what tires are best for gravel I keep shredding them apart. Also the truck runs and drive and I've cleaned it but the steering has stoped working nothing looks to be broken. Any thoughts on where to start and upgrades to the truck for a beginner. THANKS!

1st off, welcome to the forum!
2nd, gravel is rough on tires regardless of the vehicle. A firmer compound is ultimately going to be your best option for improving tread life.
3rd, for your steering. Double and triple check to make absolutely certain that there isn't a piece of the aforementioned gravel stuck in the steering components.

Welcome to the club.
If your servo suddenly stopped working it probably needs replacing.
As for tires, they are a wear item especially on gravel. I don't have a Senton, but these are 1/10 Short Course tires which look pretty nice.

I just got a senton and I have seen tons of threads about stock tires shredding so I know thats inevitable. So I bought these for when the time comes so I don't have any experience yet but they look great! They are slightly taller and Just about the same width as stock. They also have a black wheel and you can also get a different tread pattern with white or black wheel. You need to change to 17mm hex though

You could look into Powerhobby Raptors or Defenders. They come in 14mm hex size, so you don't have to change anything.

I have them, but in 12mm hex size, which are a 2.2 tire. The compound appears to be hard, so wear should be less

I run a set of those and they are really solid. They’ve been pretty good on the street as well as the dirt. They have better traction then I initially expected. My only 3s car I haven’t tried them on is my Typhon. So I think I will next time I get out. Thinking about it, they could be excellent on it. You can get them on Amazon for the same price with free shipping.

**Well shoot, those are for the 12mm hex. I can’t find any 14 mm hex on Amazon.
