Hi everyone,
After my rubbish driving skills and a few failed bad landings with broken parts I decided to upgrade my big rock..
This Is my first arrma and my second lipo rc, its certainly my favourite truck and won't be the last, this ones staying!
First pics of the new truck!
After reading through some pretty amazing builds I was inspired to make mine better, starting with the suspension as I bent a shock shaft..
I got the kraton 6s front shocks for the rear and mojave 6s front shocks for the front, I'm running 80 weight shock oil all round which works well.
Also needed the axial bushings for top mount and spacers/washers for bottom mount to clear drive shafts, longer screws used..
I added the outcast 4s wing and mount it looks awesome while protecting the body
Arrma 3s cvd sliders were next on the list due to popping a rear drive shaft out, although once installed they seemed too short to use with the big rock wider arms. I ended up getting the 4s cvd sliders as they are longer and used the 3s inner wheel hub slider with the 4s diff outer slider, they both require cutting to fit but easy enough to do, I used a small hacksaw. Front drive shafts are stock.
I also put new rpm arms front and rear after I broke a front stock arm, will see how these hold up..
Whilst stripped down I cleaned and added 30k diff oil front and 15k rear they were both low from the factory, all screws checked/thread locked.
The finished look!
The truck runs and jumps great now, more plush, stable, smoother and wheelies for ever!
Will upgrade as parts fail now to make it stronger as this is my go to basher, although a 4s capable esc/motor would be fun
Definitely my favourite
Cheers Gaz
